plaints have been lodged with the i
Railroad Commissioner as to the s
freight on flour charged by the Char- 1
lotto, Columbia, and Augusta Rail
road Company-one from lllackstock, C
and one from Winnsboro. It is quite I
proper that parties feeling themselves

charges should lodge their complaints I
with the Comnmissioner. It now re- C
mains to be seen what will be done I
about it. The action of the Commis- C
sionor will be awaited with deep in
terest.
FEASTEUVI .LE ITEMS. -Maj. C. W.
Faucott has just returned from
Charleston, where he had been for
a few days on business.
Although last Sunday was an ox- t
tremely cold day, there were services r
at the Universalist church. 11ev. D. a
B. Clayton preached an excellent ser- r
mon.
- The Coleman steai mills are in i
fine condition, and are doing a splen- r

careful management of Mr. T. W. c
Traylor.
Mr. D. R. Feaster last year, in con- 1
peting for a prize of'ered by the y
Feasterville Grange to the one who i
would raise over thirty-three bushels k
of corn on an acre of upland, gathered 1
in the fall at least thirty-live or forty s
bushels from one acre-planted and a
cultiva(ed on the Iardaway plan. t

Oun FInt DEPARTMENT.-At the
regular monthly meeting of the Fair- I
field1 Fire Engine Company, held last
Friday night, a resolution of some
implortance to the fire department t
and the town was adopted. One of 1
the great (diflculties exp)erienced by 3
this company has been ini paying its ~
C
necessary expenises. For a time, the
Town Council ap)propriated a month
ly sum to the compa)ny, but, owing to a
the embarrassed finances of the town,
it was found necessary to cut oft' this I
app)ropr'iation. At the0 meeting of the
Fire Company on Friday night a
resolution was introduced memorial
izing Council to renew the appropria
tion formerly made to the organiza
lion. An amendment was thon
offered, which asks that the exemp
lion of flemen from thie p)ayment' of
the street tax be discontinued, and
that Council appropriate to the fire
comp)anics funds sufficient to enable i
them to keep their apparatus in good
order and pay all necessary expecnses.
The resolution will be presented at
the next meeting of Council.
Tua, FERTILIZER QUE.STIoN.-Mr. 11.
M. Zealy, who acted as secretary on
the occasion, furnishes the followving
report of a meeting held at Monti
cllo:
"A mass meeting of the farmers of
Township Number 13 was held at
MQpIticollo oli Saturday, the first of.
February, 1879, to take into considera-.
tion the manner in wichel the ~inannu
facturer's of fertilizers are attempting I
to extort from them an advance upon
the price of the fertilizers over that
which they sold fomr last yrear.
There was much zeal manifested in
the discussion of' the subject, after
which the following' resolutions were
adopted wilthout a dissenting voice .
"Resolvecd, 1. That we, the planters
of Trownshilp Number 13, Fairfld
county, (10 protest against the act.ion
of thme manufactur'ors, and heroby
p ledge our'selvos individuallyi, by af
11xing our signatures to these resolu- (
tions, not to purchase during the pros- c
ent year, with cotton or otherwise,
any commercial fertilizers at higher -.
rates than prevailed last year.
"Resolvedl, 2. That the chairman of .,
this meeting appoint a committee of
twenty to canvass this Township and
obtain signatures of farmers to the e
pledge contained in the .first resoin
tion.' '
"Rtesolved, 3. That the" soctetar of
this meengm eanet 'run NrewsA
IERALD of Wi!'insboro, and "the Nezv
ud Cou'icr of Ch1aileston to publish
blese proceedings."

The grand jury returned true bills

cl, fixed for the trial of the murder
ase. There being no other cases
cady, Court adjourned till ten o'clock

A CR USADl ON ORO WS.
Ldvioe from a Farmer on a Subject
of Equal Interest with the Guano
Question.
Messrs. Editors: I take it for grant
d that our farmers have determined
o rid themselves of phosphates, and
sanufacture, as they can, a better
rticle of fertilizer at home at
ruch less cost. If any one doubts this
at him expend the amount disbursed
n phosphates in the hire of hands with
iiles and carts to haul litter from his
roods and swamps, and he will be
onvinced. But I did not start out to
rrite of phospbates, but of another
uisance of which we can rid ourselves
rith little cffort and small outlay. I
llude to the.crows. Of all the pests
nown to the farmer, excepting only
phosphate cormorants," the crow
tands at the head of the list. Bold,
ctive, and ever vigilant of opportuni
ics to steal, he is nounfittingprototype
f his congener of sable hue, and has
re-eminently established all the re
uisites which were necessary to dis
lace the eagle as the bird of America,
nd is now all the rage-as fashion
olks say-as the national emblem.
T'otwithstanding the high Position
stely taken by the crow, I am in
avor of getting rid of him, or at least
f lessening his numbers, and I think
hat any observant man who has of
rte noticed the oat-filds wvill agree
vith me in thinking that his services

omuponsation for his grain destruction.
have examined the stomachs of sever

ome kind, although I do not doubt
hat naturalists have found insects-in
>laces where it was impossible to ob
ain grain. In fact, I would not be
urprised to ibnd anything in the giz
~ardi of a crow, for it has a genius for
Ldaptinlg its stomach to the reception

ion.-Procure a vial of strychnine,
vhmich costs from seventy-five cents to
me dollar. Take about one-fourth the
inantity in the vial (usual size) and
>ut it in about a pint of water, adding
'or o1' five drops of mnuriatic acid,
vhmich causes it to dissolve immediately.
L'hep1 having placed about a quart of
~orn mn a glass fruit jar, p)our over the
mixture- which should4 cover the
~orn, and soak for twenty-four hours.
?lace the corni in some open fields fre
juented by the crows, and your wvork
s done. On Friday morninug, I put
)t about a quart of corn thus pre
ared, in an oat-field where I was
roubled by these pests, and in a short
,ine picked up sixteen in the imnmedi
i,to vicinity (which were added to my
~om post pile), and I saw inany more
eavinmg in decidedly a nervous flight.
