WASTED LIBERALITY.
'In Anderson county, the Conserva
tives, although in a decided majority,
have accepted a proposition from the
Republicans to make no party nomi
nations in that county, in order to avoid
the animosities which political agita
tion, and especially too strict nn adher
once to party lines, are apt to engender.
The plan is to run men for office upon
their own merits and personal charac
ter, miner than upon their political
affiliations, which is surely a great im
provement upon tho present, corrupt
system of conventions.
The resolutions submitted to the
Conservatives by Col. Jno. R. Cochran,
acting for tho Republican Convention,
admit that "in Anderson county peace
and prosperity reigns, law and ordor
are enforced fairly and justly, and the
two racea are living happily and har
moniously together," and tho desiro is
expressed in them that this good feel
ing may not be disturbed by the draw
ing too tightly of party lines.
This admission of the Anderson Re
publican Convention, not only that
peace and good will reigns, but that
the government i3 justly and fairly ad
ministered in this Conservative county,
is a plain and honest contradiction,
from a trustworthy Republican source,
of the oft repeated and studiously dis
8eminated lies about the intolerance
injustice and oppression of tho Conser
vatives, when they have power, and
we would invite the attention of the
colored people to it, because it is not
what wc say, but what a Regular Re
publican Convention snys.
Besides this we notice that tho Con
servatives of Union, who also have a
majority, have placed three colored
men on the County ticket.
We aro gratified to noto these clear
indications of a spirit of harmony and
conciliation on the part of the Conser
vatives of Anderson and Union; but,
judging from past experience, wo aro
strongly inclined to the opinion iliat
the Repulicans, in any county in which
they have a majority, would sco us in
tho bottomless pits of his satanic do
minions, before they would graut us
similar advantages.
The legislative is a more important
branch of the government than the
executive, and, if the Conservatives
electtheirown representatives in every
county in which they have a majority
or an equal number of votes, nearly,
if not quito halt of the counties of tho
State will bo represented by them in
the legislature.
Wo are ardent advocates ot harmony
good will and political freedom and
liberality of sentiment, and would hail
as an auspicious omen of liberty and
political progress, tiie day, when men
are elevated to office upon individual
merits instead of party affiliations; but
we fenr that our up country friends,
who are stigmatized as ku-klux, and
yet who have made such liberal con
cessions, of their own accord to the
Republicans, without exacting from
them corresponding concessions in
counties in which they are in the as
cendency, are doing nn act which will
never be appreciated, and which uudcr
the present indications of Republican
intolerance, will only result in dimin
ishing the number of Conservative
representatives in tho coming legisla
ture.
Far be it from us to discountenance
a spirit of liberality on the part of the
Conservatives, but we do think, in a
political light, when concessions arc
made, that they should be reciprocal,
and not altogether onesided.
BAD LOGIC,
The Ring organ in Columbia very
candidly characterizes the Chamber
lain ratification meeting in Shunter as
a disgraceful riot, but throws the
blame upon the Green men.
Of course it is no especial concern
ofonr?,both factions being Republican,
but we don't see how the Chamberlain
itcs can complain, if they send out
"Confidential Circulars" urging "their
friends to assemble in force to control
the action of the Independent meet
ings."
If wo pull our neighbor's nose, we
should certainly uxpeet him to pull
ours in return, if ho can.
Coli. M. R. Dolancy has resigned
his position in the Customhouse, in
consequence of his nomination for Lieu
tenant Governor,
[communicated.]
Mb. Editor:?In reply to tho Rev
Mr. H. in,your issue *of October 1st.,
I must' first and foremost pronounce
the second paragraph of that commu
nication, and all other allusions to the
R6V. Mr. Hartley, and the Antioch
church as false, in toto, ab initio, ad
fiuem, So destitute is it oftruth, that
it must be branded as a wilful falsehood.
A. B. is truly sorry that the Rev. gen
tleman should have allowed madam
rumor to furnish him with weapon3 in
his controversy, as those of her man
ufacture generally break in the using,
or seriously injure those who employ
them. May I advise you to rely no
more upon her sayings for the triumph
ant suecess of your amicable disputa
tions. Never until lions fear mice,
will Mr. Hartley fear Mr H's. mid
night productions. That Earn well
Union communion ; that "slip of the
tongue," with many other "slips," force
me to say that hereafter when yQU
make an assertion that common facts
won't establish as truthful, will not bo
received. Since you presume so freely
and confidentially upon the beautiful
and truthful features of that sermon,
why did you on that very Sabbath
after the delivery of that sermon, let
your tongue lose its balance again by
telling S. that he should certaiuly
have it to read over,when he requested
it of you. It is sincerely hoped that
you will publish that sermon. A. B.
will certainly procure a copy, and
hopes to find it the identical sermon
verbatim et literatim, no change made
since its delivery at Triunity church.
Mr. H. made a perfect fumble of that
comparison of churches to tho differ
ent currencies. I suspected thcre'd be
some midnight misunderstanding about
what the preacher was saying, when
Mr. H. was keeping up a continual
line of remarks with that young lady,
Miss I. Horo is what tho preacher
said: "Certain modes of baptism (so
called) are received by some denomi
nations, 'aud rejected by others, some
sprinkle, others pour, while others im
merse; each had its value, and while
tho two former modes passed only in
certain places, tho latter mode was
good aud passed all over ihe world; it
was like gold, none would reject, some
kinds of money will not be received
everywhere; they are considered doubt
ful, but gold will pass any tiurf ?vory
where. If one of the members of this
church would'apply to Triuity or Jer
icho church for membership he would
not be rebaptised, all receive immer
sion, it is lite gold and will pass every
where, but sprinkling is not so." (Do
you understand?)
A. B. confesses he was a little un-'
easy, from tho time Mr. II. made an
excuse, by saying he could find no
Sunday convenient for him to hear Mr
Hartley's reply until his announce
ment, that he would bo there, but he
is all right now,and is anxious to know
what Mr. II. will do with that unlim
ited measure of testimony that was
filed upon him, those fourteen pedo
baptist authors against his assertions,
that immersion was unscripturnl.
A. B. will be silent on the mode for
the present, he expects to learn sonic
thing about that, when Mr. II. com
plies with Mr Hartley's request. No
friend, you mistake; A. B. was only
astonished that a man of tho learning
of which Mr. H. boasts, would condc
send to use other men's language with
out giving them the credit for it. A.B.
docs not propose to bo a logician, Mr.
H. does. A. B. does not pretend to be
a latin and Greek scholar, nor has ho
ever received tho compliment of know
ing more Hebrew than his Professor;
he may therefore be classed an igno
ramas. "Out of a shower,v did he
mean from ? did ho mean, that if, I
were in (a*, near by) a shower, I would
not have mental acumen enough to
get from (out of) it? A. B. would be
glad if Mr. II, would explain himself.
Since that memorable first Sabbath in
October, 1874, (he will ever remember
tho day,) A. B's mental acumen has
been so propositionnlly upset, that he
is high in the notion to sco a bible fixed
up so he can understand it. It was
the prayer of Job that his "enemy
would write a book," Mr. H. has
written a letter, the ono Tve just been
handling, and I fear it has made his
enemies feel glad, and his friends feel
badly. He evidently intended in that
article to hurt somebody, but unfortu
nately for himself, ho overloaded his
gun and it kicked terribly, and hurt
worst behind than before. His article
shows first, that he lias lost his temper.,
The expression: ignoramus, "not scuso
enough to carry him out of u shower,"
tell but too plainly, that his argument
is exhausted, and his last round of
ammunition fired, Ho one that has
L '
lead to put in his gun, Will ever dis
charge dirt at Iiis enemies. Truth is
like tho sea when nt rest, calm and
mighty in its repose; error, is liko the
sen when storms nvo upon it, angry
and tempestuous. "Ignoramus \" was
it for epithets like this, that Mr H. has
jbeeu so industrious in "midnight lamp
trimming?" I ask has not every man,
who lias rushed into controversy with
out counting tho cost, ond lost his tern
per when he couldn't call Iiis antago
nist anything else, called him an igno
ramus?
Wo are surprised that a mind that
has done what tho greatest minds of
this age have failed to, do?find out
now arguments for sprinkling, as New
Testament baptism, should exhibit so
little originality in the ' selections of
abusive epithets. Secondly, Mr. ITi.
article shows more egotism and vamly
than wo ever remember having seen in
the same space. Take a few illustra
tions?speaking of his sermon on bap
tism, he suys,"ray friends' insist on the
publication of that discourse, affirming
unhesitatingly, that it was tho most
satisfactory thing of the kind they evei
heard " Again, "so far as I am inform
cd there was only one A. M., in that
congregation and lie made this remark:
'It was the best thing ijevcr heard,
and gave mo more satis action, than
anything lever read." Of course, the
other pedobaptists arc now out of date.
Having given us the opi lions of his
friends and brethren, and the learned
A. M.. he gives us his owi opinion of
it in the following precious morsel of
self praise: "I am bold to my, that my
sermon is my own, in the si rietest sense
of that term, and contains ideas no
where found from the *Wcu of any
divine."
Well, what rejoicing there'll be thro
ughout the whole pedobaptist world
over this pedobaptist Columbus, who
has at last found terra firm a upon
which pedobaptista may rest from the
fury of the waters. Mr. H. evidently
thinks he has done a wonderful thing,
but others doubtless will pall to mind
the mountain, of which, Wo believe,
Aesop speaks, "montes jarturiunter,
ridiculus mus nnscctur. iVe mean of
course, tho offsprings arc alike. Mr.
H. boasts that he has labored aud
brought forth something new and
overwhelming on the old jfeestion and
ir no uont say so; ceiuiiui'ywrpTf??'imr
he has settled it. Well, if so, we can
only account for it on tho ground that
these new ideas have been hidden from
the wise and prudent, ami been reveal
ed to those otherwise. But lest our
baptist brethren be unduly frightened
mid our pedobaptist friends unduly
elated, we'll give one specimen of the
"ideas nowheic to be found from the
pen of any divine/'

Augujt, 187-1.
Editor Orangcburg limes:
Of arable land he has about one
hundred acres, which ho cultivates as
follows: He lays down one third in
roots, hauling on each acre about, eigh
teen loads of well rotted barn-yard and
stable manure, composed of the straw
from wheat, barley und beans, and
trodden by the horses and cattle. That
which has been trodden by his fatten
ing stock being much more valuablo
than any other, because they aro fed
on meal, composed of corn,peas,bcans
and oil cake, which makes the manure
rich in nitrogen; this scattered broad
cast over the laud aud turned under
in tho winter or spring, with a two or
threo horse plough; it then remains
until May, when from throe to five
hundred pounds of phosphate is appli
ed and worked over again with tho
plough; then tho scufler harrow, and
clod chrushor is used until the land is
finely pulverised and lovel; then man
gel wurtzel aud swedes or ruta baga
arc sown by a drill.which puts in four
rows at a time, twenty inches apart.
As soon as the plants get to a size they
arc hoed, and as a general thing get
three hocings; 1st hoeing between the
rows, cleaning out all weeds and grass;
2nd thinning down to a stand, or near
ly so, to one plant every ten or twelve
inches, removing all weeds from tho
drill; 3rd finish thinning and cleaning
the ground perfectly, never putting
dirt to tho voot. Hoeing is generally
let out by the acre for the three hoo
iugs nt about thirteen shilliiigs and
six penso, or three dollars aud thirty
cents por acre. Tho averagocrop per
ncro being twenty long tons. In ttio
winter and spring the bulk of the roots
are fed to sheep on tho ground on
I which they grow; tho roots aro pulled
' on a quarter of an acre, which is then
[hurdled in, sheep put in them, tho
turnips cut up by a machine aud fed
I to them with clover, hay and oil cake;
by tho time the turnips aro eaten off,
tho grouud has been richly manured,
it is well broken up and about the first
of October sowed in wheat or barley,
always drilled with a large drill, put
ting in about eight feet wide at a time.
Nothing being dono to it afterwards,
only to remove thistles and weeds.
Atter the wheat or barley has been
put in, clover, rye und grass seed is
sown broad-east, which comes up and
makes good pasturage for sheep during
winter and spring alter the green has
been out off, and in summer one or two
heavy crops of clover, rye and grass
hay; then it is broken up and the fall
{>eas or beans are put in, which are
mrvested in July and August. Then it
is again broken up with ten or twelve
loads of good rotted barnyard manure
wheat or barley again put in in Octo'
ber, without the clover seeds. After
being cut, the land is again prepared
as before for turnips, the crops being:
1st beets and turnips, 2nd wheat or bar
ley, 3rd peas and beans, 4th wheat and
barley again, and then to turnips. The
root crop is considered the oasis of
good farming; without it they could
not manure the lands to bring the fine
crop* of grain they do; -it fattens the
sheep, improves the wool in quality,
and quantity, and enriches the land
sufficiently for three years. The aver
ago crop of wheat is about forty-five
bushels per acre, barley about fifty;
he makes annually about two thousand
bushels of wheat and barley, five hun
dred bushels of beans, and about one
hundred of peas, worth eight hundred
and sixty pounds, or near five thou
sand dollars. I had forgotten to say
that after the sheep have eaten all of
one hurdle-pen, they are penned on an
other, until the whole field has been
eaten off. Ho keeps about three hun
dred aud fifty sheep, selling off annu
ally one hundred and fifty fat sheep
to the butcher, their average weight
being eighty-five pounds net, after be
ing dressed, worth three pounds,
or fiften dollars per head; which
iu addition to tho wool cut from
their bucks, averagiug ten punds each
fleece.sei ling at eighteen pence or thirty
six cents per pound, would make tho
value of ouch sheep eighteen dollars
and sixty cents, or the one hundred
and fifty sold at twenty-seven bundled
dollars. Ho always buys his pigs or
hogs for fattening; gets them when
about ten or twelve months old; iu
two months he has them fat and ready
for tho butcher; he fattens about fifty
per year, on which he clears about two
pounds each, or about five hundred
dollars for tho whole. He has always
demand for his straw, which he may
have to spare, and has always enough
to sell, at fiften dollars per ton, to pay
for all the commercial manures he
may use.
Ho keep on his farm twelve laborers
constantly, giving them about three
dollars per week with hilf gallon of
beer, also cottages for them to livo in;
among his laborers is oue shepherd,
whoso duty is to attend to the sheen,
ami a cowman whOieHuTy Is to attend
tho milking department; then ho has
his carter whose business i? to see to
the horses ploughiug ?&c. Tho ave.rngo
cost of wages per year is about tweusy
five hundred dollars.
I four that I have already tired you
with my description of English far
ming aud shall therefore close.
