Dr. James II. Carlisle, J’resident of Wofford College, recently asked some questions ^through the CarolL.a Spartan, in regard to the compara tive influences of town and country on the home life of hoys and girls. These questions attracted attention because tiny are questions which many fathers and mothers feel to be vitally important; [and they are provoking thought and inquiry among many both in the towns and the country. It is a fact patent to the most com mon observation, that in this part , of the South at least, the towns are | rapidly increasing in population and the country is as rapidly diminishing- ! This movement has been going on ! for two or three decades and there ! are yet no indications that it will soon cease. It must cease sooner or later, for when the towns become too numerous and populous to be sup- ! ported by the products of the soil, j the tide must turn, hack to the country, or fame and pestilence wifi > preserve the balance by sweeping off the surplus population. The great Civil War resulted in breaking up the old order of things in the South, and in bringing new modes of life and new phases of so ciety Under the new conditions home life in the country became less desirable and the inducements for people to congregate in the towns were stronger than they had ever been before. The destruction of the long established system of labor upon j which the whole framework of so- ! ciety rested, involved the breaking | up of old associations and habits and the formation of new ones along new lines of thought and action; while the dangers of lawlessness and dread of outrages incident to an unsettled state of society added intensity to the social instincts of the people and impelled large numbers of them to move to the towns, where they could find security and social and intel lectual advantages no longer availa ble in the country. It is not at all improbable that many of them made mistakes from u financial stand-point, and not a few perhaps failed to realize the so cial, moral, and intellectual advan tages that they had expected; but no movement among the people, so general us this has been, ever takes place without strong and adequate causes behind it. We cannot fully discuss those Causes here. We recognize the facts as they stand, and wish to say a few words in regard to the advantages and disadvantages of the country and of the town. Whether a man shall move to town and leave his farm in the hands of tenants, or whether he shall sell his farm and invest the money in town property, of course depends far more on his peculiar cir cumstances and conditions than on general principles. We believe that the influences of the home in the country ere far more powerful than those of the home in the town or city. We be lieve that the love which children habitually cherish for the country home in which they gro.v up to man hood and womanhood is far more intense and unchangeable than that ever cherished for the town or city home. We infer, too, on general principles, and we believe that these principles are vindicated by ex perience and common observation, that boys and girls raised in a well governed country home love their parents and one another with deeper, fonder and truer devotion, than is often found in a family raised in town. If these observations are cor rect, the reasons are not hard to And. The country home is isolated ; its family circle is exclusive; it is a little kingdom in itself, and its au thority on all questions of manners and morals, is almost absolute. The social life it.d the home life- are in a great measure, one and Die same ami it follows that whatever in fluences are there originated and ex erted. being rarely counteracted by any from tue outside world, have all the benefits of unity and concentra tion, with nothing to weaken or ob- atru t them in reaching legitimate results. . Such a home we think furnishes the very b<-st conditions for moulding the character of the children, for im pressing lessons of honesty temper ance, and self reliance, which will ho in a source of power to them life. We think, too, that such a home furnishes the very best conditions for the formation of habits of economy and industry ; for temptations to ex travagance are rare and there is al ways plenty of work about a well regulated country home for both boys and girls to do. It is the general impression that farm life is more conducive to health and physical development than town life, but there is no proof that such is the case. On the other hand, we think it can be shown that people born and raised in towns and cities, live as long on an average us farmers, and that there is no more sickness according to population in modern towns than there is in the country. The towns arc centers of intelli gence and of social influence, and aside from their educational facili ties, there is no doubt but that the minds of boys and girls will there be quickened into more rapid develop ment than they could be in the soli tude of the country. Whether such development is desirable at the risk of incurring dangers from which the country is largely free, is a question for all those contemplating moving to town, to decide for themselves. Many of those dangers are over estimated and over-stated. We do not believe that there is any more drunkenness in town than there is in the country in proportion to numbers. The fact is, by fur the greater part of the drunkenness that the munici pal authorities have to deal with is among people from the country. After all, education, association, and environment have a great deal to do in the formation of charactir, but no man on earth can say precisely how much is due to these and how much to heredity or natural bias. We all know men and women who have risen above their early en vironments and tiiat, too, in the face of the most adverse circumstances. Without school education, in the midst of corrupting an 1 degrading | associations, they have risen by what , we call inherent force of character , far above their surroundings to posi- ; lions that command the respect and admiration of their fellowmen. We know many others who, in spite of apparently the best of training, of splendid opportunities, of elevating j association have gone down to the | depths of dishonor and shame. Htill I we cling to theories that are violated | all around us, and formulate rules j that are recognized mainly by their | exceptions. '■ Aii Ap|Mfi*2.

C., April 5.—Winter seuns determined to stay with us. We hoped when Good Friday and Easter had passed that winter would take its departure, but we have been disappointed. Guess fruit jirs will not be in much demand unless the black berry crop succeeds. Farmers, who I believe are the most cheerful class of people, think with favorable weather, they Jean pre pare and plant in time to make fair crops yet. They are hauling off the usual amount of guano, and expect to plant about the same amount in cotton they have been for years past. The outlook is not encouraging for small grain—very little sown, and what there is makes a poor show. The Town Council election fur In- tendant and Wardens passed off quiet ly yesterday; while there was consid erable interest manifested there was no disturbance. The following were elected: J>. K. Wilkins, Intendant; S. D. Moore, E. O. Webster, W. 1{. Tanner, W. A. Mosley, Wardens. Several of our citizens will build residences as soon as the weather will permit. Ths cotton mill is running full time and adding largely to their buildings. Mr. H. 1’. Thornton, who served several years here us agent for the Southern railroad, has accepted a position in Louisiana, and Mr. Clar ence lieurdcn is agent now. x Never give up—unless K’sma lone ly spot and the other fellow has a sand-bag or a revolver.

Mr Editor:—Your kindness to me Li the past leads mo to try your patience again. This time I wish to throw out a few thoughts upon our general edu cational law and its auxiliary, or helping law, the dispensary. In the first place, our educational facilities are good ; to say Ibis is not enough— they are the bc.-t in the world. Not withstanding this, we sometimes hear the public school law derided and de nounced as uschss legislation. Let us look at its benefits a short while. It provides a blessing for all alike; no child, however poor his or her pa rt nts, or what color, or of what na tionality, if now an adopted American citizens, is excluded from its bene- fiits; and it is broad and far reach ing in its scope. The three millsdtvy only brings more and more money as the valuation of properties increase, and in this way Keeps up with the in crease of children who are yearly coming under its provisions. It is therefore one of the most benevolent laws ever enacted. If poor results are its out-croppings it is not the fault of the law, but are chargeable to the manner in which the people use it. The law does not of itself give cause for the many wrangles that so often occur among patrons, trus tees and teachers; these have their origin in many instances—indeed I may say in almost every instance— in some very trivial or uncalled for incident, altogether unworthy of notice. Dut I cannot say so much for the dispensary. It is hard for me to ac count for its enactment, because a considerable majority of votes in the •9d ejection were cast in favor of pro hibition. It is therefore to me a base born law—that is, it is not what the majority of the people desired; and while we readily concede that, it is the best liquor law ever enacted by i the State, it cannot in any sense be ! called a good one; for no law can be I so considered that opens the way to ■ degradation, btiame and all other vices kia ah in the darkest ages of j the civil z d world. Surely our peo- ; pic will realize before long the great | iinpotii on lids law fixes upon them. What a c its benefits, if any? There are nore, for it impoverishes any commt nity to carry one. JasI the homes bat are poorly provided with the n< -sauries of life answer for us Around on all sides we can see empty palmetto flasks—evidence to us that money that could have been wisely used has been worse than thrown away, i’ut the provisions of the law- are tiiat ti e profits arc to go to the educational fund. This is its general purpose ; but how, let tiiose who know more about it than we do tell u». In this county, for instance, our levy of three mills for school purposes gives us a suffi here to run three mouths, and close with gome funds on hand, therefore the ncccsoity for us to draw from the dispensary fund does not exist; but Horry Marion, and others, with no dispensary in them, “we are toM” receive sums of money to augment j their school funds, ranging from three thousand to seven thousand dollars each. To these we must con cede that the law is of some benefit at least, while it is none in the world to those who have to bear all ills that arise from the sale of intoxicating liquors. This is certainly true, so far as Cherokee county is concerned, ai relates to the law as a help to the cause of education. Then os teach ers. let us every one faithfully work in harmony with the wishes of our superintendant, and do all that we can to draw into the schools in the various districts every child of the ages contemplated in the public school law; and le-t us not only be content with having gotten them en rolled,but let the work be of such a na ture among them that decisive ard commendable progress may be appa rent to all. This is the only way in which v.e can make the public school law (he blessing it ought to be to ai*. Our schools are well provided, in most instances, wi*h globes, maps and charts, and I find all of them that I have tried very useful in teach ing the various branches they cover. No doubt the sharp agent, in many instances, bus sold them too high, and in this way has imposed upon the state. We get object lessons from ail of them ; and all are that we can r. tain longer we have seen, in our minds, than we | can that of which we have read or ! stud ed. So let us work earnestly and hard to understand more about globes, maps and charts than we now do before we condemn them. h. it. D. R AW PICKER CALLS A HALT.

Wherein, you understand, on Sat urday before Easter I thinks I to myself, “Now, the hens ain't bin u layiu’ much indurin’ this uncertaint weather which we are a havin’ an’ I aint had as many eggs as I could eat in u long time, an’, by gutlins I’m a gain’ to have a good tail fir once in a long time Easter Sunday ef I never git nothin’ else.” I pitched in an’ bought three dozens borides what the ole hens had laid at home. I took the eggs home an’ tole ’em they was all that I could git. That was all said about ’em—atthe time— an’ too, indurin’ the time of it I had went to a drug store an’ bought a package of egg colorin’ from the drug store man what had eight different kinds of colorin’ in it. In orderment to give the little Pickers the necessary assortment of Easter eggs Mrs. Picker ha-1 to color one a piece all around an’ by gut lins, hit liked to took every blasted egg to do it. That’s wherein I got left, so to speak, .list let a wo man g;t to dibblin’ in an'you’ll come ou? ut the little end of the horn every lime. You see, ef I had a left off gittin’ | of that <gg colorin’ I’d a bin strickly I in the mess, but a man never girg too j ole to larn an’ I guess I’ll git even, ! even tf I do hat to wait oniel next Easter now. The affairs of the confusion merit is thusly told. You see, there is three Pickers—No. 1. No, 2, an’ No. 8. an’ each one of ’em had to have a egg each of every different color an there was eight c-dors I had bought in the blame little package, which you un derstand, three eights make a two dozens what the widder Picker had to bile up for the little ones, she fried the balance an’ put on the table fer breakfast and after we all had quit eatin’ of ’em there weren’t a blame bite left an’ I had only et four out’n the thirly-six. (>, I tell you. you jist haf to keep your eyes on the wo men fi.-lks or they’ll beat you ef they live—I’ve done told you, I known ’em. Hit’s a poor show without a clown ; a poor town without a mayor; a poor business without a boss; a poor Ledg er without a Flaw Picker; poor chicken light without a refers—by the way, Pruella, you an’ the Kernel put me in t he mind of two roosters ,, , , i I seed a fightin’ one time. They had mauled an pecked an hammered on one another till, by gutlins! they weren’t no decent objects lo behold with your uaterul eyes, neith-,r one of ‘em. Hit come to pars whilnt they were a fightin’ one gvt out’n hreat an’ surd; with sheer exhuus- tionment to the ground, an’ there he sot whilst tother’n would walk around an’ peck an’ peck. All at once, after tiie one on the ground hud got his breath fairly good, he got up an’ fair ly whaled the stuffin’ out’n the other one. They was both rule iittie fellers to be a fightin'. an’, thinks i to my self: “Little fellers, your grit is all that nat’re give you. an’ good enough fer your caliin’s. so fer as I knows, hut if you ail hud a showed better ! judgement you would of had sound heads now, an’ bin respectable as pects of the chicken creation.” Now, Pruella. an’ Kernel, this grit you all are a showin’ in kcepin’ a hammerin’ an’ peckin’ an’ maulin’ at one another, 1 reckon, is what na t’re allowed you in the heginnin’, but cf you nil don’t display some judgement an’ stop in good lime, I’m powerful scared you all will make yourselves ridiculous in the end; an’ I’ll bet my ole sox off’n me feet that all this maulin’ an’ headpeckin’ ain’t u buyin’of five cents worth of vase line fer to grease your heads with alter hit is done with. This line of thoughts brings to my recollections the bearin’ o( that ole story, which, you understand, is worn out now to us ole fellers, but hit meby mought be new to tiie young an’ risin’ gineration, of the ole Irish man an’ the iittie male steer. The Irishman was a trampin’ from one station to another on a railroad when he come in contact with a little steer on the track, which, you understand, wou'd bow up in the back, roll his white eyes an’ defy the Irishman to pass. Whilst they were a standin’ thusly a train come along an’ the lit tle steer bowed up in the l ack, an’ with a bow wow—Dill!—the little fel ler met the train square an’ went rollin’ off the track dead. “Ho! faith an’be Christ,” said the Irish man. “Oi ndtnoir ye’s grit, but ye’s display mighty bad judgemt-i t.” If we display judgement in correct in’ a feller in an error we w-.uld cor rect him in a kin-1, suhmi-'-ive wav, an’ not bullyrag him because ho is agreed anything Grover Items. .Correspondence o!

It is a mistaken idea that up-coun try people have, that it is absolutely necessary to irrigate rice land and to flood tiie young rice at certain stages of its growth. Indeed, here in Or angeburg County, one often sees cot ton and rice growing side by side. The land is exceedingly level It is true, but in places there are slight depressions, and these low places are often chosen for rice patches, although they may be far away from any stream. At other times one sees a little rolling piece of lard producing both cotton and rice. There is no reason why Spartanburg planters should not raise rice in abundance. The soil that produces the best re sults in rice is a sandy loam. Kice does not require a very strong land. Pipe clay or “black jack” are not suitable soils. After selecting the field, prepare it in every way us if for cotton. A grout many planters, plant the grain about one inch deep, with a cotton pointer, and afterwards chop to a stand of seven or eig’.t stalks to the hill, six or eight inches apart. But Dr. Arant, wha is quite successful, drops his in hills. From the middle of March till the middle of April is the time for planting rice, but Dr. Arant thinks it would be better not to plant it later than April 1st in Spartanburg, us it would then have longer to mature. Its cultivation agrees with that for cotton. It is laid by in July and is harvesaed in August and September. The straw can bejseperated from the grain by a wheat thresher, and later this may be carried to a “huller” where the chaff is removed. Bice slraw and chalf are considered quite beneficial as u once a week food for horses. The grains may be beaten oil the stalk with flails, and negro women often beat the chaff off the grains by means of a large wooden pestle in a morter made out of the stump of a tree. The average yield per acre is from 2-j to 85 bushels, though as many as sixty have been known. The grains are not so highly polished as those of the coast rice, but this Joes not detract from the taste of the article. Rice is an important food product in this neighborhood. It is eaten with vegetables at dinner. Rice and beans, and turnips are delicious. Gravy is not used with the rice, but the sauce that accompa nies the turnips or beans. • ▲. F. s. Lyons, S. C. An Empire of Savaarea. There now- remain only one people and one little valley south of the equator whose sovereignty has not been claimed by some Euroj»ean power. It is the val ley of Barotse, 50 or 60 miles wide, north of Lialui, in South Africa. And the only reason why ths Marotae, who inhabit it, have preserved their in dependence is that England and Portu gal both claim it, and therefore the work of “civilisation” is at a standstill It may not be so easy to conquer the Marotse when the time comes, for they are a tall, well set up race, albeit very black in shin. In manners they are courteous and in bearing dignified. Every fuH blooded Marotse is by birth a chief and takes his place in the aris tocracy of the empire. The bare fact that he is a Marotse in sures the respect of the subservient tribes, and as he grow's to manhood a sense of superiority usually implants in the native the dignity of self respect.— London Letter.
