From Etta Jane.
Etta Jank, March, lo.—Our farmers
are making good use of this fine spell
of weather, and the fuwailiar “gee,
haw” of the plowman is heard in
every direct ion.
The oat crop is now sown, and the
acreage in this neighborhood is above
the average of former years, I think.
The untimely death of t'upt. Charles
<’. Culp, of the Cnion bar. has cast a
glooom over this entire county. He
was a promising young man and hid
fair to rise high in his profession. He
represented this county in the State
Legislature one lerin and Ins every
act in that capacity.so far as I know,
was of the highest order of states
manship. He was true to his friends
and open and frank with his foes.
We have some model farmers in
this county, among whom I will
point you J. H. Littlejohn, Esq. I
had the pleasure of passing over a
jKirtion of his farm with him a few
days ago. and if I were to estimate
the amount of homemade fertilizers
in and ulxmt Id* barn-yard at 300
four-horse wagon loads, it would not
lie extravagant, ileuses some com t
mercial fertilizers. He has an abun
dance of forage for Ids st<K*k. which
was housed or penned every night,
His plantation is one of tin* best I
know of on Fueolet river, in tins
county, ami he literally lives at home
ami boards at the same place,
Mr. Editor: lam glad to sec* the
course your city council has taken in
regard to the dispensay law. I am
not. amt never have been a zealous
advocate of tin* law. yet it is Jgw. and
the lM*st and wisest way for us to do
is to carry it out to the letter, and
it will *|i.o\y both its good and evil
features in 11 few mouth* Your city
fathers have the honor and tiie 10411.-
hood to sec that the law is enforced
without the assistance of an imported
constabulary forpo. f/.‘i the law abid
ing jK-ople of every commonhy si.’;.* to
it that the law is carried out to lju*
letter for the next few months, and
when it.;* time comes for choosing
representatives they *.*1} intelligently
instruct them whether to revoke^
amend or repeal the law. This is the
only fair way to solve the problem.
We have, all over Gil* county, a
lot of chronic grumblers, w ho are dls*
contented themselves and try to
rnake everybody and everything else
show th».-*r misery. For instance: It
has been reported to i;;** that a crow
had been flying around the prejniaes
of one of my neighbor farmers for a
week or so listening to hjs wailings
and fault-finding with his condition,
and thinking, perhaps, that the
farmer would take pity on it and give
it a few grains of corn to satisfy its
hunger. But hope at Inst resolved
itself into despair and it look its
flight and went in a northerly direc
tion and lighted on the promises of
farmer No. who was in about the
same mood as was No. 1 who it hud
just left. He told it there was noth
ing there for it audit might as well pass
on, so it took its departure and smut
arrived at the home of farmer No. 3,
who promptly told it that the mer
chants at Gaffney' and other towns
ho*I got everthing he and hi* neigh
bor* had made and lie hud nothing
left to give it. Hearing that the
merchants ut Gaffney had plenty, the
|*H»r crow, now almost |K*ri*hcd,
“struck out” for that city thinking
it would med with success and
friends there. Rut unfortunate on
its way it stopped with funner No. 4,
(who is a well to do man, and fre
quently hits cotton on hand from one
crop to another). It thought it might
find a benefactor who would cheer
fully supply its wants. Rut not *0,
when jt told him of its needs and des-
(iluRoiy. he began relating his mis
fortunes, and complainings, which so
far exceeded anything it had ever yet
heard, that the jKKir thing gave up
in despair, “keeled” over and died
without a flutter.

If jb a very important matter to se
cure a collegial e education in this

matter so much, as tiie great mass of
people were not educated enough to

required. 4 cqilfgiate education is
rg'JWlri’d in almost eyery pursuit of
life. It is said that in the voting

Here we are in America’s great me
tropolis! More of this miniature
world in my next. The weather when
we arrived was so spring-like that we
uvulh-d ourselves of bright circum
stances and concluded forthwith to
take our trip on the Rhine of Amerca.
We were Indeed more impatient to see
the beautiful and picturesque Hudson
than to Indulge curiosity in this cos
mopolitan city with its hum and
whirl of busy life, its dazzling torn*nt
of pleasing and (tainful interests.
The day was lovely, and the waters
like a sea of glass. Our steamer, the
with gay pendants and our
proud flag flying in the breeze, and
her deck crowded with living beings,
all intent on pleasure, ttiraud grace
fully tier mighty wheels, and away
we sailed! She was verily “a thing of
beauty,” and so fleet and noiseless
that well she deserved her pretty
name. The shades t*( lh07 o’er

But Mr. and Mrs. Stone were not
satisfied. They had looked up
law on the subject, and the

who miglii enter, hut only the word
“person.” Then Mrs. Stone said:
“Miss Stockwcll, make this a test ease.
\\ rite to t he regents and say, ’If i
can pass the same examination re-„
quired of men, can I‘enter?’ ” Miss'
Stockwcll did so, and the Hon. George
Willard, of BattleCreek. went before
the Ik,ar<l of regents lo her behalf,
and willed their attention to the law.
They decided (hut they could not
keep her out. although Professor
Moses Coil f\ ler (now of Cornell I'nj,
versity. and author of “,\ii,erh*i

works), was the only profess

Mis* Stockwcll entered the
more year. She was a very brij
Greek student; and in her
examinations, a Grvck seim- ^
j given her to translate, wlyeh.given w
free rendering into English, is as fob
lows: “Seeing then that we are
women, let us hcarourselves humbly,
and not attempf to compete with iucm;
for these things must we lM*ar, and
things more liiu«*r. liecausi* we are
women." Three years later, at flic
end of her course, the same professor
gave her to translate, from the same,
Greek author, this sentence: “It js if
shamt, for u<). iit iiigiiieu to Lu
hy women.” The professor declares,
however. tha{ l lure was uq premedb*
tation in t he choice of these examina*
thin sentences. However, the last
sentence was particularly applicable,
since she graduated at the head ^ ail
lier classes.
