F'ebruary mrd, 14%~. j [si>ecial to the .HERALD .tzD NEwS.] For several days past sharp person: crii icisms have been published of each other by Lamotte of the Re-ister and N. G. Gonzalez of the News and Courier in their respective Journals. About 1 o'clock yesterday they met in the office of the Comrissioner of Agriculture, where, withouta word. Gonzalez moved towa;ds Lamotte ai d ,truck him a blo v on the left eve. Before a second blow could be pasesed by G-'nzalez Col. Butler inter fered and took Gonzalez to another roo i. Mr. C. A. Calvo, Jr., proprietor of the Register, hearing of the attack on La iotte, went in search of Gonzalez. As he was in the act of turning into his office, C.Jvo beckoned and called to him, and as they met in front of the lo ver window of Jackson's drug store, Calh o proceeded to denor nce Gonzalez for attacking La motte, when Gonzalez struck him, then, while Gonzalez was off his balance, Calvo drew a cowhide and struck repcatcd blows on the necek and over the head of Gonzalez. Gonzalez ciin0h-d Calvo, shoved him against the window, breaking the glass. upon which Calvo fell an(d received a painful cut in the left leg. Both parties regained upright positions, Gonzalez dre.v a self-cocking pistol, but did not fire, but uzed it as a club and with the muzzle dealt blows on Calvo's head cutting it. The pistol was wrenched from Gonzalez by Capt. Stoney, a:;d in the struggle which followed, both fell to the ground, when it it was discovered that Calvo was bleeding profusely. They were separated.nPd Cl lvo carried to Dr. Tally's ofilce where his wounds were dressed. Lamo te's face is slightly disfigured. Gonzalez has cowhide marks on the neck. Calvo's thigh and head are cut a id bruised. Subsequently, at about 6, p. m., Gonzalez was proceedi ig down Main street, and when passing t1-o en tance to the Insurance building, be tween Willard's 'and Mancke's saloons, 1e was hailed by W. B. Calvo, a young r brother of C. A. Calvo, who informed im that he was a Calvo, and denounced tim. Both parties drew their pistols, but he bystanders and police, who took harge of them, prevented further diffl nlties. Up to this time neither of the >arties has been placed under peace ond.

The following article was intended I r lqst week's paper, but was crowded it because of the pressure upon our 1 lumns.f We have passed through a week of I ild wintry weather, whose days were I months to many.

Thc Newberry Agricultural and 31 I cnical Asqoriation has decided to ho! no m -c fairs on account of their un protitableness in a financial point, an, the property of the company is otfere for sale. This should not be, for fair are beneficial in more than a financia view, for it encourages competitioi among the farmers, and the exhibits o the products of the county show what i is capable of, and also serves to bring to gether thousands who make it an ob1jec to be precent at these exhibitions. Th< Darlington Fair has always proven botl pleasant and profitable, and it. will nevei fail in 1-aving a good exhibit and a large attendance.-Florence Tines. We agree with our contemporary. The Newberry Fair was a source ol great pleasure and profit to our farmers, but the tronble was we never could get together "our thousands," for if the farmers of Newberry County had turned ont more generally to these fairs omt association could have paid expenses. If our contemporary will tell us how the Darlington folks manage to get so many people to attend probably some arrange ment can be yet made by which to con tinue our fairs. PROSPERITY. Mr..

Our postmaster has no heard fror his resignation yet, which w*as sent t the Postmaster-General about tw months igo. le said the offlice wa easier to get than to get rid cf. Chief Justice Campbell is now run ning two stores attli place. The grain crop is making very slov progresss since the cold spell. Farm work has been a drag for hil last month. The principal thing don was eating and niaking fire. Economy will be more practicecl thi, year than usual with our farmers, an( why not every farmer demand ceonomi in our State goverinment. Begin wit the Chi.f Justic's salary and come dowi to our county officers, and deIiit one. third from every officer's salary excepi the Governor's salary, which is about right, and that will leave them a hand. some income. The present salaries eight or nine years ago were very eco nomlical, for then fifteen hundred dollars would not buy as much as one thousand will at the present prices. Our farmers have seen enough in the last sitting of our State Legis!atu: e to know that they are determined not to do anything to reduce the heavy taxation which is levied upon the poor struggling farmers. As this year will be the time to elect repre sentatives, let every voter decide at once to vote for no man who is not in favor of economy in our State government, and who not only favors it, but will work for its a.ccomplishinent as a good and faithful servant will do for the people whom he represents. The agricultural people of this coun ty have felt, this year, the effects of the extravagant appropriations of our public representatives to their sorrow, and yet some people will still think a better time will come, but it will never come, unless we exert ourselves more in the choice of our representatives. Let us have for our watch-word in the coming campaign economy in the management of our State government. As I have said before, fifteen hundred dollars several years ago would not buy as much as one thousand will at present prices of provisions, and still our officers complain of poor pay. Now if one $1.000 will buy as much or more at the present prices, why not give them less? If it did not cost them less to get the substantials of life, I wvould be the last man to say aught against the salaries of our officers. Instead.of our representa tives being economica!, they have been very extravagant in appropriating the public mioney. But whlo is the payer of these extortionate salaries? It is uin doubtedly. the men whlo till the soil, and they are the men to say whether or not the present system "shall con tinue. We farmers are looked upon by some of ouri public men as a poor igno rant people, and only lit to vote and danc to the tune of high taxation. If we have not the money to pay our taxes, we must get it in some way, for the mo nev we must have to run our fat officers and pay those extravagant applropria tions made by ourm representatives. The farmers of this country are men who have good common sense to explain any thing connfegted1 with farming, but wve lack a few who have nerve enough to express their wants. But fo,r fear some striped leg lawye1 ,r some chronic office holder,(pardon me forus ing the word law yer, for we know they are always where money is expected,) will rise and con lemni what he has said, and perhaps make some soft headed farmer thinik lhe is cer tainly a fit subject for the asylum, for eess)C5ing whlat a fairmer thinks best to be (lone for our interest, not only for the farmer's interest, but the people at large. But the time is not far distant (if there is not a change with the farmers of this country,) when necessity will force them to raise their hands in poverty and demand economy in the management of our State government. Why can't we put the ball in motion this year, and if we are not successful in our lirst attempt we can but try again, until wve come out vitoius in our efforts ? JAN. JOLLY STREET. MIr. G. M1.
