tUMUKI'E NOTE'S;
Co xo au ee, Jan. LGtb 1881.
Editor ?rangeburg 2inte?*
Having seen nothing in the Times
from litis section in some time, ami
having leisure, to-day, I thought 1
would give you a few items which
i? iglit he interesting tu some of your |
readers'.
There has been nothing done to
wards preparing for a crop in this
section yet, from two reasons; first,
the extremely ecltl weather, and
second, From the general indisposi
tion of the colored laborers to con
tract. They all seem to be waiting
for something, and none know what,
unless It, is frit* better bargains.
Tneru have been several cases <>
burglary t! ibis community lately
Mr. J. N. Wise's house was broke:
into about a week ago, some iuoiioa
and other articles were stolen. Mr.
Glenn Oliver's house was also robbed
of about ten dollars, besides 1 he:;r
ofseveral in?dances of potn inks
being robbed.
Mrs. Margaret Zaki'!, v f M
of Mr. Allen Zakiel, of the Lint
Stone neighborhood, died
ienly at the resi tenets bei - :? <
law, Mr. Fred Collins, whilhci sin
bad glitte 6h a visit, on the night of
the Bth of January. She cat suppei
well and hearty, and in half ari hour
she was a corpse.
Mrs. Rebecca Heckle, the oldest
female inhabitant of this community
died at Mr. d.d. Zeigler's on the 22d
of December last.
Mr. John ('rim the oldest male
inhabitant of the community, hns
gone to Charleston to have his eyes
operated upon. having suddenly
lost his sight about (wo months ago.

The boy who blacks boots or sells'
pipers in the streets to-day, is t|ti itc
as likely to be a Senator thirty years
hence as the "curled darling" in the
finest residence in our West Knd.
Mur ? than one ex-Senator has been
dependent on private charity to ke< p
hi.n out of the poor-house in Irs old
age. There have been Senators who,
in every (dement of manly character,
in intellect, culture, manners and
morals were far iiiferier to the menials
who swept the Senate lloor. More
than one or a dozen Senators have
bought their way into that chamber.
Almost it's many corporations as
States have elected men to sit there.
In this country, the bottom often gets
on top, the top often gets' ,to the
bottom.
There are no ??rulers" here. The
people select and hire men to perform
certain duties which cannot he con
veniently performed by all the people.
A President, a Judge,' a Senator1, a
Member of Congress is but life hir
ed man of the sovereign people. And
all this talk of rank is the sheerest
nonsense that ever lie'led fools.
There have been, and s.ill are,
great men in the Senate, but their
election did not create their great
ness. There have b?eu, and arc still,
small men in the Senate, for their
election could uot so supplement the
work of God to make them great.
'?Pigmies tire pigi ie? slill though
perched on Alpt, and pyramids ate
pyramids in vain."? Wukhinyton I'ust.
Not less thfin 100 members of the
present Congress will retire to pri
vatc life next March. Their eon i
tutents failed to remember their
"valuable services" at the recent clec
tion, and few of them will pro: aid;,
ever have another ?hance lo air then
selves at Washington. Glory1 to
God!
In my boyhood 1 heard one of the
most illustrious of American preach
ers say to his people that he had been
Compelled to neglect the spiritual
nutrition of his own soul in the
intellectual struggle to provide food
for theirp.
PICKED UP.
We picked up a letter in the.street;
theotl'jerdny, of which the following
inn copy, cxceping the addresses.
The owner cau have the original by
calling at our olfice:
Dlau Br?tiiers, Sisters! Cousins,
Aunts^Uncles, etc.:?I now take
my seal and set down to take this op
portunity to infoitn you that I am
"Daddy," that is, I suppose I airi, for
Abbic fins got a nice fat baby, and
we hops these few lines will find you
enjoying the same groat blessings.
Now this is to be a strictly business
letter. Firstly! as 1 said before, Ab
ide Imsgot as nice a baby as ever
made up faces. Nextly, I have
swapped awn\ old Buckskin, and
think I have got a pretty nice horse,
it is a little girl and weighs nine
pounds [I mean the baby,] and is
just as rat astbutter, and has got a
good strong pair of lungs; she is red
and got a bobtail [the horse I mean],
and a white strip in her face, and is a
goo . driver; she has got blue eys and
a lituple'in her chin (I mean the
baby now), and just the prettiest
mouth that ever vs-as (cf course), and
judging from her teeth I should think
j she was about six years old [I mean
i the horse now); she is sound, smoothc
and kind (I mean the horse or baby
either, (how) and the doctor suis sin
is the faires he oversaw, without any
exception (he means the baby). I
got. 25 dollars to boot, not in the baby
scrape, tho*, for the bVot was on the
other foot, ^nd two or three sizes
larger as near us I can find out. I
am going to harness the lior.se now,
and go after mother; she was born
last Weduesdecy night, 20 minutes
past nine (I hope you dont think 1
mean mother or the horse, I mean the
baby}.-" She is as hearty as a pig, a' e
a:r egg, a bif^'uit, and drank three
cups of tea for her dinner (I mean
Ahlde). She is getting along nicely,
and if she don't have anv bad luck
f
she will get* along fust rate. She is
rather windy,and they say that is a
sign of colic ( I mean the baby]. i(
hope it is, Tor the nurse says col icy :
babies never die. She talks through
her (nose) ps she takes snail* (the
nuss 1 mean now ).
There. I've been reading this over,
and I sec plainly that I ain't fit to
write. The amount of it is, I am
Hustratcd; I am daddy and that ac
counts for it, so you must excuse me
this time.
Sam. Daddy.
"A GOVERNOR WHO CAN'T SWIM."
Und? r this startling side head the
Ncwbcrry llrmlil gives a thrilling no
count ofGovernor llagood's narrow
escape from a watery grave on the
1st instant. The HeroA/ says thai
while the Governor, in the absence of
the ferryman, was "paddling his ow n
canoe" over the swollen Salttda tin
immense ice Hoc struck his frail
craft amidships, caused it to "take
water" several times and almost
made Gen. Kennedy Governor.
Now tili? II.' >;/(/ mail is mistaken?
Governor Uagootl is always on top.
He spent a considerable poi tiou of
his boyhood in Turkey Creek and can
outswini a didapper and otitclimb a
catsquirrcl. Rarnwell never raises
boys who can't swim ??aniuiefi
I 'eopfe.
Iuto one of our largest dry goods
stores entered a gentleman, the other
day, ami with the air of one who had
been used to this sort of thing all
his life, you know, he said to the as
tonished sales woman: "Give me a
yard of maroon-colored flannel to
mutel habt, please." Correcting
hiinseli'ltastily, ho began again: "I
beg pardon; I mean a yard of Hun net
0 thatch1 a maroon colored baby?
here (producing;, bit of flaouel from
his vest podket), I want a yard of
that."
It's hope that keeps us up,
It's hope that keeps bur memories green,
1 I'm hope tliai keeps our lives sublime,
It's soap that keep* us clean.

HOW II?SII PEASANTS MVE?
The dens, misnamed cot?, in which !
the peasantry df Galway and -Mayo
counties live ure merely stone shel
ters. Owing to the intense ignor
ance of the people they are not pro
vided with any facilities for drain
age, and are often incomparably
li It by. The flodrs are of hard mtid;
it is rare to find more than one room
in si hut, and only one story. Beds
and bedding are luxuries which the
poorer tenants do not possess; old
heaps of hay and straw are the
couches on which the lovely, brown
eyed, large-browed maidens of Cou
naught repose. The smoke from a
peat fire in a common peasant's cabin
spreads through the room, and you
narrowly escape strangulation your
first visit. I have had this exper- j
ienceill Herzegovina, and consequ
ently minded the smoke but little.
How family decency it maintained
in these, dens i.s a mystery, and how
the people manage to keep clean?for
they look clean?is a puzzle. The
pigs run in and out of the door, and
such wretched pigs! A North Caro
lina wild hog would be an aristocrat
beside them! Iu dozens of these
cabins sick people are to be found?
sick people dependent either on the
charity of their neighbors or on
friends iu America who send them
small sums. A gentleman in Gal
way told me that the agents of land
lords treated the poorer tenantry as
if they were animals. He instanced
the case of one agent who. on rent
day, when any tenant was short a
half a crown in his p yment, would
knock the hYoney otr the table on the
lloor, so us to humiliate the tenant
before his fellows. Up to a very re
cent date the better class of tenants
would not have dared resent any
such behavior; they were ready to
fawn before the man who had insult
ed them Now the tables are turned
and the agent sneaks in and out
among the people, taking per cent,
less than the usual rental, if indeed
he gets anything at all, and is glad to
get away again out of the farming
district with his head still on his
shoulders. ? Letter in the BosUm Jour
mil,
THE HABIT OF SELF-CONTKOL.
If there is one habit which, above
all others, is deserving of cultivation
it is that of self control. In fact it
includes so much that is of value and j
importance in life, that it may almost j
be said that, in proportion to its pow
er, does tin. man obtain hi., manhood
and the woman her womanhood. The
ability to identify seit with the high
est parts of our nature, and to bring
all the lower parts into subjection, or
rather to draw them ail upward into
harmony with the best that we know,
is t he one cent ral power which sup
plies vitality to'all the test.
How to develop this in the child
may well absorb the energy of every
parent ? how t<> cultivate it in himself
may well employ the wisdom and en
thusiasm of youth. Yet it is no
mysterious or complicated path that
leads to this goal. The habit of self
control is but the accumulation of
continued acts of self-denial for a
worthy object ; it is but the repeated
authority of the reason over the im
pulses, of the judgment over the in
clinations, of tho sense of duty over
the desires. He who has acquired
t his habit, who can govern himself
intelligently, without painful effort,
and without any fear of revolt from
his appetites and passions, lias with
in him the source of all re.il power
and all true, happiness. The force
and energy which lie has put forth
day by day, and hour by hour, is not
j exhausted nor even diminished; on
the contrary it has increased by use,
and has become stronger and keener
by exercise; and although it has al
ready completed its work in the past,
it is still his well tried, true and
powerful weapon for future contlietH
in higher regious.~7VtiA/rfr//#Ai<j
TEXAS TO BE DIVIDED.
It is reported from Texas thut at
the ensuing cession of thii I i?? isht
ture of thai: Sit'sit pi proyLlon will be
made for tboerea?ou of throe now
States, as stipulated in iIn* tcim of
the joint resolution annexing Texas
to the Union. lkt is held that if tho
Legislat ure creates the new States no
objection can be made to their ad
mission, as the joint resolution cd*
Congress expressly provides that
"iiew States, of convenient'size, not
exceeding four in number, in addi
tion to the said Stale of Texas, bo
formed out of the territory! thereof.
Only the consent of Texas, it is claim
ed, is necessary, as the consent of tho
United States is given ill advance by
the terms of the resolution of annexa
tion. There is suflieicut population
in Texas tc entitle each of the three
n-.'W State* to two members of the
House, w h urea's only one is necessary,
and the fourth new Stute, it is held,
can be created at any time hereafter.
Three new States out of Texas terri
tory would give the Democrats ."rix
more Senators. It would be a good
thing ft..- the Democrats, to be sure,
but no one here believes that tho Re
publicans iu Congress would stand
1 by the literal terms of the resolution!
of annexation. If, as reported, the
Texas Legislature makes the three
new States, as proposed, the six
gentlemen upon whom senatorial
honors may be conferred will have u
good time waiting to get in tho
Sen ate.

We do not deem ^t absolutely ne
cessary to the success of a paper that
it should avoid sa ving anything that
might not be strictly within the
bounds of thedofiued limits of tho
party it claims to represent. Con
demnation' is a much more potent
iustiMineut than flattery, when used
moderately and not from a morbid
desire to lind fault. We do not hold
ourselves one whit less Democratic
because we have at times seen lit to
disapprove t he act ion of the party,
nor because we have volunteered to
I give credit to those of the opposite
j party whom we think deserved it.
