I have used Dr. Ilull's Cough Syrup and found it the best. cough remedy I ever tried.-W. P. Clarke, 920 Wal nut Street, Philadelphia, November 27, 1875. * Mr. James Gray Porter has retired from the editorial chair of the Aiken Review-a position he has ably and acceptably tilled since the first publi cation of that paper. In leaving the field of journalism he carries with hiii the best wishes of his friends of the State press. A number of persons, beguiled by the weather, planted their gardens last week, and were repaid for their dili gence by a halt' inch of snow and a freeze of several inches. They are now awaiting developments. A cau of nitro-glycerine exploded in the garden may raise the plants. THAT Gimx or Coax.-Aftor sever alattempts the surgeons have at last suc ceoded in extracting the grain of coru from the throat of the little boy whosc case was nientioned last week. Onc report is that the grain of corn had sprouted, but as the surgeons are not responsible for this assertion, it may be a mnunchausenisn. The little fellow i doing well. Wien he grows older h( may contino himself to corn in a liquid form, at any rate we hope he will not got any in his windpipe again. RtOCKY MOUNT ITEMs.-The sale oi old rips, cotton seeds, &c., being ovei (evidence of last year's folly) and the pressure on the columns of your in valuable paper (who ever wrote a' paragraph1 for a paper that, did niot in dlulge iln fulsome commplimenits?) is not so great, we suppose a few itemi would be in order. Major Wood, wvard's head wvas level when he0 wrott the communi cation addressed t.o "th( Farmers of Fairfield," and p)ublished in TnE~ NEwa AND IIERALD ofthe 12th We can boar testimony to thme correct, ness of the Major's statements. W< have often said that if the discovery o the phosphate beds of South Carolia is a blessing to the fairmers, it is oi in disguise. Thuis, with the lion law i and heavy crops of cotton to the exclu sion of grain, has bankrupted mana farmers. They were once the fa goose, from whIch nearly every p'er son plucked a few feathers, but phos0 phiates and1 lien laws have left but littli to pick; and from dire necessity th< picked will become the picker--ina bility to pay the exorb)itant price asked. The increment of the crop o cotton due to skilled labor-bah!I Thi is all Yankee boshi.. The average planta tioni darkey is skIlled ini nothing bu 1thoft anid Its concealment. TIhe wvhole or nearly so, of the face of the count; is devoted to cotton, to - the exclusio1 -of grain, and a liberal use of fertill zers accounmts for the large crops tha are thrown oun the market of thi world every year. Labor Is not a efRoient as when the negre were slaves. Many of th< colored wome n do not labor mnor, than three or four months ini the year Not more than t,wenty-five p)or cent. o the population of South Carolina arl engaged ini adding to the world' wealth. Seventy-five per cent. ar< drones. Ought we to complain o hard times? Verily, we think not. GUNTER. ITEMs PRO3M SALEr.-Wlth the nov year comes the usual moving so corn mon among laborers, and which ii practised by some to the great inonm venience and sometimes lose to thi farmer. With his wagon and toan 110 moves a family perhaps ton miles To move their plunder requires tw< or three trips. Laying aside al thought of the tr'ouble for the sake, SI he supposess of gtewng a good Iland the farmer does ill the tnoving, when walking out some day to see how his new laborer is doing, he finds to his fnazement a strange wagon at his door, loaded and ready to move off with Cuiry's effects to another lnan he had bargained with. This is a wrong without any remedy. Our farmers are busy preparing their laud for the planting season, but few ifatiny have purchiased.'any fertiliz, ers for this year. They are waiting to see the end of the war against the fertilizer monopolists, and are unot willing to pay the price demandeld. In fiact, our farmers are more intde pendent this year than they have been since the war. Very few will have to buy corn, and all seem determined to live as economnically as possible. The nat.rimonial fever which was raging in this section and at one time threatened to (100111 your correspond eut, who is of tender age, to single blessedness, has subsided, but I do not believe the cauises have been removed, and a relapse may be looked for. Your correspondent witnessed some dan gerous symptoms Oil the evening of the 14th at the residence of Mr. l. B. Pearson, where the young people met to have a "valentine part.y." 1Dancing foiIned the principal attraction of the cening, interspersed with songs from somec of the fair sex. After the dis tribution ofthe valentinc10 much merri ment was caused by comparing them, some of them being very amnu-ing. An enjoyable feature of the cyCnill wts the appearaice of an old ind, who gave her natmle as Mrs. St.ykes, and said she was looking out for another hu ;band, and, hearing of the party, determined to be present, to see it' sho could not imnd among the gentlemen some ono who would he willing to take Jeems' place. One young gentleman seemed to bo of t.he opinion that she had singled him out as her victim, and when she approached in his direction made strenuous el'orts to escape fromi the room, but was preveited by some of' the young mnen barricading the door, when he silently submitted to his fate, and found that the would be widow was a charming young lady. Mr. and Mrs. P. were untiring in their efforts to promote the enjoyment of the young people. The dancing was kept up until the "wee sma' hours," when the assemblage dispersed, all ox pressing themselves its being delighted with their night of pleasure. RETLAW. Notcie for Final I)ischarge.
