June -7. — It is much easier lo weep over the wanderer than to bring him home. So with profis- sional tat tiers. It is much easier to hear their clash than to believe what they say, and if we were to search pandemonium with lighted candles we could not find a more efficient class of professionals than can be found in our country today. No one, however pure or honest, is safe from tlnir venimous brenth. While these have not effected us, indirectly, that wo know of. yet we have been annoy ed by the grievances of others. Itir. Coley St ward once said, in speaking of a certain man: “The truth is a stranger to him.” ft does seem Dial some people would rather not tell it ail if they can get round it. (’apt. .1. 15. Hell denominates this particular class of beings as “scan dal-mongers”—a very appropriate mime, too. It is too true that wo often resort to the faults of others to hide our own meanness. Pre judice is a enm- plitnenl we pity to our superiors. The man or the woman who soat- t£i s love and sunshine when ver t hey go, are tho ideals wt should imitate, they are the only ones of whom it cat. truthfuliy be said when they are gone, “that the world is better lor their having lived in it.” In a private letter wo learn that Capt. .). N. King, of Ninety Six, who has the contract for building the ap proaches to the steel bridge across Catawba ri\er at Sutton's ferry, in York county, expects to visit this section in September. He re-asseCs that the account given in this corres pondence some time ago about his taking the part of a poor, defenceless woman against the cruel treatment of a brutal husband, was not an ex aggeration, but every word true. The woman is still with her parents and the husband is afraid to come into tho State for fear of prosecution. M< re than a hundred papers have copi. d the statement, among them the Ni-w York World.

Fowler iirothersare in the \\ iikina- villo neighborliood lids week with their thresher. Several people from this section will attend tho Fourth of July cele bration at (iulluey next Wednesday. (fur country is now freer from sick- noss Ilian at any time in several month*. Not a case in this section that wo know of requiring the attfii- ti-ui of a physician. Tina is a fortu nate circumstance, for which we are really t hankful. Wo are not disposed to brag about it, but we believe wo have one of the most ( ji aceful, law-abiding sections in the State. Not a custj in court or before the magistrate that we know of, and our people, both white and colored, appear to bo getting along well and peaceable logathe;’. ’J is true we have hero and there places where tho riff ruff of soeii ty are reported as congregating and spending Saturdsy nights and Sun day, but Ihiii* meetings don’t inter rupt those othorw.st inclined, and its they ura all birds of a feather, the 1 kittle can't Call the pot black, and will not notice them. Miss Mary Edwards, daughter of our esteemed friend and neighbor, Mr. John Edwards, who lias been at tending tho Cedar Springs school, will return homo to-morrow to spend her vacation. Our Sunday school children are making preparations for a grand children’s day a* Salem, Thursday July 2ftth, to which a general invita tion is extended to all friendly to tho children’s work to attend. Wo hope by (fiat time that the flat will be in tho river and that tho public will suf fer no inconvenience in getting to the church from tho Yora side. Itevv James S. MofTatt, of the A. It. I’, church, of Chester, will he there and make an address on tho subject of temperance. He will confine his re marks not only to tho children but the old people ns well. Mr. MoiTatt is one of the ablest and most efficient temperance workers in the south, and the Sublmth school bits unani mously selected him for this special work on the r children’s day. They have made a fortunate selection in a speaker. We bespeak for the young people that respectful attention to which their work commends them. We rearet that tilings and circum stances over which we had no control, prevented our attending the recent F. (’. Veteran reunion at Louisville, Ky. Thos -who did attend it. wore im- pn .-<se«l with tho idea that it was the grandest meetitg iii the history of the IL C. Veterans In grandeur it far surpass! (I that of the 0. A R. held in that same city. Ret ween them {.here was no comparison-—tak ing into consideration the morals of | the two bodies. So fur has the liber ty laving people of the north been impressed with the loyalty and devo tion of the confederate soldier, and in consideration of bis unswerving fidel ity to the cause he fought to main tain, that they have extended lo them the hospitalities of some of their most magnificent and wealthy cities in which to hold their reunions. At no time since the opening of that most important struggle have the two sections of tho union so well understood each other as today. This is the experience of almost every ve t eran who attended tho Louisville, Ky., reunion, and the time is coming when the northern cities, and even States north of the Mason and Dixon line, will vie with each other in hav- j icg the Confederate soldiers as their 1 guest 8. The old sectional sore has been kept irritated through the interfer ence of the political vermin that have been disturbing it ever since the ces sation of hostilities. Those men on both sides of the lino never got mad, apparently, until after all opportuni ty for fighting had passed. Their days have been numbered, we hope, so fur as their ruling power is con cerned. Tho country wants peace and good government and the fruT r- nal teeiing now growing inuru.g the veti runs and tln ir sons on both t-i b s of t>he line that bus so long sepaiuted j us, is going to be a potent factor in bringing about that most desirable re.-uit. A fine opening for a physician in the vicinity of Wiikinsviile. is now or, hand, and the farmers of this cotn- timniiy have at last opined their eyes to the necessity of having ago d physician in their midst. As it is then is no physician h, tween (Lifinny and Skull Shoals, a distance of twen ty miiesvia Wiikinsviile, and for that section, no physician can be had nearer than Cherokee Fulls or Hick ory drove, both .of which are beyond the river. The housewives will begin drying fruit just as soon as the fruit is n.jiijy. One of tfie best devices we know oT for this purpose is a thin cloth, quiit lining, or something like it. ;tretched over a frame of light ma terial. homething like ordinary quilt ing frames, with a few supports of light timber nuihd across under neath to support it. Tliis drytr can be handled with ease and one of tho uigum‘ nts in its favor is, tho fruit gets ih ’roughly dried much sooner, at- the aiy lias access to it from both above and bercatb. Resides, two ItamL in a few moments can put out or I be in a whole crop of fruit, just as the sumdiine or showers m a kb it r,ary. Ii is not our purpose to champion d. Walter Whitman’s candidacy for governor, nor that of any other can didate, hut we think it very unpatri otic for any one to deny, or attempt to d*3ny, hup tho right to run for that, op any of ht r office, ho wants to. Tills is a free country, and it is his privilege to run and let (ho voters say who they want for governor, and ha the majority rule. For a grumb ling newspaper or second rate politi cian to try to for< stall public opinion ami leiirive a citizen of the State of tho rights guaranteed him by the same, is not 4 very reputable act, to say the least of it. If some of tho papers and politi cians will but remember they are now standing upon the very platform that d. Walter Whitman adopted and fought for as early us the year JoSo, whop t .? ope else woul i tackle it; doing away with these expensive State colleges and appropriating more of the money for the mainten ance of the public schools. This is a matter of history and wo know where of we speak \i’o want it distinctly understood that we are not advertising Mr. Whitman's candidacy more* than any one else. What we want, and shall c ntend for, la a fair fight. We have that confidence in the voters of South Carolina that they know who and what kind of men they want ane will meet their responsibilities at the poll a. J. 1. k. OlMiMtiof) AllNW'ITI it.

I hear from home every week and you can’t im agine how much pleasure it is to me. Please send the paper on.” She adds further, that the crops in her vicinity are all drowned out— they have had ruin all the year and two freshets in less than three weeks.
