WIIAT us BE1N'0 DoNE HEItE.-in the sketch of the resources and indus tries of South Carolina, the following appears: Mr. Doty, a Kentuckian, who owns a blue-grass farm in that State, but *who is now living in Winnsboro, says, that taking the value of the land into account, he makes hie forage cheaper on the wo tont hills of Fairdoeld than lhe does on 'the famous blue-grass lands of. his native State. His crops are oats and German millet. The latter lhe estimates that he houses at a cost of six dollars per ton. Lucerne has long been estabihaed in this town, anda there are stools of this valuable forage plant, still vigorous, known to be fifty years old. IEn the same town Col. James HI. Rtion sowed, in 1874 a half acre of red land, a worn out oid field, infested with~ nut grass, In lucerne. In 1875 ho got one cutting, and.fromi that, date to 1880 fromt four t6 C ten cuttings each yeai'. The ten cuttings were obtained in 1878. The lucerne averaged two and a half feet in height at every cutting, making a total growth for the season of twen ty-five feet. -FORl FRAG4RANJE.

OF INTEREST TO PHYSICIANs.-Dr R. B. Hanahan, Sr., attended the re cent meeting of the State Medical As sociation in Columbia, and from him we learn the following facts, whfch - will be of interest to the fraternity of this county: The Board of Medical Examiners have decided that they have heretofore misconstrued the act of the Legisla ture in reference to the examination of physicians. According to their present opinion ihysicialis who have been practicing in this State before the passage of the Act, will not have to stand the examination, but simply send their diplomas to the Board. Graduates of the South Caroliua Medi cal College, will also be exempt from examination, and by presentation of their diplomas from that institution, will be allowed to practice. Dr. Ilanahan also informs us that a young man, who had graduated in a medical college in Kentucky had pro sented his diploma to the board, 'with out standing the examination, and license had been refused him. He has engaged an attorney to test the case in the Courts, and it is probable that the Supreme Court will have to decide the inatter. -kI. l. ., or IHUI's Hepatic Panacea cures Sick Iloadacue in 20 minutes.

Well I believe our people are pre paring to plant more cotton than ever, and alter "holding up" on fertilizer tnme last year or so, are using more of it this season than ever before. I am glad to say, however, there seems to be more comnposts used than formerly, except a certain class of farmers who sell all their cotton seed and every thing else that Is salable about their promises. Thcr'o is scarcely any- fell i ng the a mount of injury done by sell ing cotton seed off the farms. At a low estimate. the cotton crop of this township will be reduced by at least 100 bales by the short-sighted.policy. The few who sowed oats in the fall are jubilant over prospects, as there is reason to believe the fail oats will be the finest for several seasons..
