THE PfiSCfi QUESTION. ?Editor Orauychury Times: I hope I wont tire; your forbearing patience, uir your renders. Am I start ed out in vindication of my own rights, and that of the people on the fence question, 1 do not intend to surrender or forfeit my position. As long us any one advocates such a rail ical and ruinous principle as to pass a no fence system, he may expect to hear fix?m me. My platform is broad enough tor all, and will be well repre sented when tested on the fence qiies tion, and J have a kqy note for all op ponents. -So Mr. Kditor, I beg leave to handle Tooth pick, and put him in .some shape. A Tooth pick too thin, or too blunt, or wry pointed, is of lit tle ser rice to any one; and the first defect I notice iu Tooth pick is that he is too thilii; hu misrepresents our worthy represcntitive, lit*. Summers, by astfO^'ting that be called on the far mers to discuss the no-fence question 1 Now for Tooth pick's bctietit I will re fresh bis memory, as to what Dr. .?-?ummcrs said and what the papers Stiid for hitu, at the same time to let Tootil pick know that Watch is in better condition than he imagines. The call was for real estate owners to ! dismiss the question, as he thought there would be an eifert made this fall by petitions to t lie General As sembly to have the law passed for the greater part, if not for the entire Conn t^y. That, was wIia- 1 (lew off the binges, for I Considered it a question that all were equalbv interested iu. Some arc silly enough to make our fore fathers out as numbskulls and idiots by saying thejj had old fogy notions and carried a stone iu one end (of their mill bags for balance. 1 iin I ngiue the other end contained home raised corn, ami when they wanted bacon nod lard I guess they found it iu their .smoke houses, free from tin: merchants lien, and if our legislature would turn a deaf ear to parly and favoritism and give us a wholesome law that Would apply to all alike, re quiring every farmer to keep Ids n op under a goou fence, we would thou turn back tevthe practice of our foViY fathers, and, instead of depending on the western market for Our bacon and corn, it, would be raised at borne. 1 contend that stock can be raised in this country to advantage in many respects and save money in the pock els of t he farmer. For instance, you caii have your lots well littered, a lit tie lime and suit at hand to scatter over your Utter and tramped by your hide bound bound stock, rake and pile every two months and replenish your lots when needed and you would have less fertilizers to pay for in the fall, and occasionally you would have a fat beef to kill, the hide of which would serve you wi h shoes. The same attention paid to hogs would furnish you with bacon enough for your own use and some to spare. Though stock needs attention. You might as well imagine a locomotive could run without lire aud water as to believe :i cow could fatten on chew ing of her cud alone. There has been a great deal said about raising stock to advantage in pastures. Why is it so? Because attention is given them and the rogues can get their meat in the' woods with less risk of detection, lint adopt the no-fence system am, it will exclude so many from past tires that starvation will force many rogue.-, on us and the midnight prowler will l?e as familiar with your pastures as you arc, and when you realize that you are raising stock for t he rogues you will abandon the idea of raising altogether, aud just what you w uihl adopt your neighbors would also, and the price you have paid for bay this year will give you a faint idea 01 what bacon would be, if there were no stock raised in the state, 'flic ho fence system would keep immigrants back, and our labor woti.d be confined to, aud monopolized by the large real estate owners. After they got as many hands as they wauted, they would rent ttie remainder of their lauds to the trash gang and hominy caters, ihd.the small farmers would have to lo without labor, for it. Is human mi ni re for a man to invest his money in the safest manner he can, and the lands would be sought after as a safe Investment and would bo good until I Jod called upon the earth to give up its dead, and not until then would ! they lose their titles. When immi grants start out for a country, it is with the hope of getting a home. Could they get one here? I say nev er, nevei under a no-fence system. And as I said before, there arc two sides tti n picture, and the citizens of Orange burg County had better open their eyes and think u little for themselves and not rely too much on what Generals, Colonels, Majors ami Doctors, with due respect to these gentlemen, have to say on the fence question. Tooth-pick guessed right when he said I lived on sonic swamp. Jf he will come up and condescend to partake of the hospitalities of nil humble farmer in a tog cabin, J will lake pleasure i? giving him a day or two 'of ?port, catching red-breast perch and rock-fish out of the waters of South Edisto, feed him on milk and fresh country butter, that is tar superior to the gilt-edge go-hen but ter ia Ihn or,?and strange to say, nevertheless, it is true, 1 never give my cows as much as shucks, as na ture has provided for them, for the canoB,uare so thick that when a cow gets into them she never get out until she eiitSher way through, and I will guarantee ho will return home a w iser ami better man after I ImVe ruoed the nonsensical lumps and knots otfof his cranium. IIis brain then would act more with the honest dictates of his heart udder a free and a full con notion that the no fence system would'hot suit his peojdiN Is this not a Messing for a poor man? (Jan you blame me for being in favor of,a* fence system":" Tooth pickIbas made a powerful grinning lace over the obi nits that our fore fathers traveled, wants to blaze a new road though., I prefer to go round* I have tried these cut-oils and found them further,and often had to turn back* Tooth-pick's cuttle must he of a small breed, or the buzzards of enormous size when one ean sail around the.moon with a full grown ww i??is claws and a yearling in its beak.to lnlanee him. I would ad vise Tooth-pick to cross his stock, or teed on strichuine, for 1 know it is ah^ait-rending sight to a lover of milk-and butter to see his lust milk cow sailing in the elements under the wings Of a buzzard. From all tip pea ranee.- Toot h-pick's logic on the ho fence system, as far as he has gonei indicates that he is a gentle man of some intelligence, and should knoWfdiettcr than to try to force such logic-its his on the minds of a free people, ami while 1 am obliged to him ! for the/ liberal offer of sixty cents frourhis no fence friends, yet I think thcytffiail; better keep their spare t bange to have rails split to repair roiten .'.;k1oW'H fences that have been iiegSJcwd by them waiting for the -no fe tee system; and long may you look for it m vor to be realized in your day, for the voice of i he people will ruh'. So Mr. Toolh-pick, I won't have any advantage id' you in death, if you are able to pay for the rail splitting. You shall haw your grave encircled with a ten rail fence, staked and ri I r d, with a bit . 1 ? pine growi ig at your heiid jo siiaoe that sacred spot to remind yoa, w hen the mast is falling, in one hundred years to come that people still use the manl and wedge that yoii now condemn.

Composure is very often the high est result of strength. Did we never seen man receive n flagrant insult, and only grow ti little pale, and then reply quietly? That was a man spir itually strong. Or did we never see a man in anguish stand, as if carved out of solid rock, mastering himself? or one bearing a hopeless daily trial, remain silent, and never tell the world what it was that cankered his home peace? That is strength. He who with strong passions remains chaste; he who, keenly sensitive, with manly power of indignation In him, can be provoked and yet refrain himself, and forgive: these arc strong men, spirit ual heroes. OOTTOS BLOOMS. Mi. Editor: 1 see a number of farmers) have sent you cotton blooms of various dates. I pronounce them nil behind the Times. I can boast blooms on the I'Oth. But, it must not be for gotten; that the earliest blooms of ten make the smallest crops. F. A SIGNIFICANT 5ST0UV. A wealthy banker in one of our large, cities, who is noted for his large subscriptions to charities, and for his kindly habits of private benevolence, Was vailed on by his pastor one even ing and asked to go with him to the help of a man who hud attempted su icide. They found the man in a wretch ed liouso. in an alley not far from ths bankcrs dwelling. The fron t room was a cobblers shop; behind it. on a mis erable bed in the kitchen, lay the poor shoemaker with a griping gash in his throat, while his wife and children were gathered around him. "We have bten without food for a day,1' said the woman, when he re turned. 'It's not ray husband's fault.' He is a hard-workiug, sober man. But he could neither got work nor pay for that which he had already done. To day be went l\)r the last time to collect a debt due him by a rich family, but the gentleman was not at home. My husband Was weak from fasting, and seeing us starving drove him mad. So it ended that way," turning to the tainting motion less figure on the bed. The banker, having fed and warm cd the family, hurried home, opened his di sk ami took out a file of little bills. All his large debts were prompt ly met quarterly, but he was apt to be careless about the accounts for milk, bread, etc., because they were so petty. He found there a bill of MichaGl Goodlow's for repairing children's shoes. $10. Michael Goodlow was the suicide. It was the banker's un paid debt which brought these.peo I pie to"ttie verge-of*the- gra^f auO* drove this mini to desecration, while ut the very time, the banker had been giving away thousands iu char ity. The cobbler recovered, and will never nerd a friend while the banker lives, not' will a small unpaid bill ever again be found oh the banker's table. * No man has a right to be generous iinli! hi * < el) s a e paid; and the most efficient use of money is not. alone iu almsgiving, but to pay liberally and promptly the people whom we employ. ? ? mm * mti A TY1TTY PARSON*. A Scotch clergyman by the name of W atty Morrison entreated tin olll ecr to pardon a poor soldier for some offence lie had committed. Theolli cer agreed to do so if he would in turn grant him the first favor he should ask. Mr. Morrison agreed to this. In a day or two the Olllccr de manded that the ceremony of bap tism be performed on a puppy. The clergy man agreed to it; and a party of many gentlemen assembled to wit ness the novel baptism. The parson desired the officer to bold up the pup py, as was customary in the baptism of children, and said: ? . "As I am a minister of the Church of Scotland, I must proceed accord ing to the ceremonies of the church. Well, then. Major, I begin by the usu al question: You aeknowlcdge your self the father of t his puppy V" A roaf of laughter burst from the crowd; the officer threw the candi date for baptism away, and thus the witty minister turned the laugh against the infidel who intended to deride the sacred ordinance. RICH WITHOUT MONEY. Many a man is rich wit bout mone3'. Thousands of men with nothing in their pocket, aud thousands without oven a pocket, arc rich. A man with a good Bound constitution, a good stomach, a good heart and goo*1, limbs, aud a pretty good head-piece is rich. Good bones arc better than gold; tough muscles than silver; and nerves that flash fire and carry energy to every function, are better than houses and lands. It is better than a landed estate to have had a tight kind of a fattier and mother. Good breeds and bad breeds exist among men as really as among herds nnd horses. Education may do much to chock evil tendencies, or to develop good ones; but it is a great thing to inherit the right proportion >f faculties to start with. The man is rich who has a good disposition?who is naturally kind, patient, cheerful, hopeful, and who has a Haver of wit ami um in Iiis com position. The hardest thing to get along with In this life is a man's own self. A cross, Stlfith fellow, a de sponding and complaining fellow, a timid, care-burdened nmu-?these are all born deformed on the inside. Their feet may not limp, hut their thoughts do. A CURIOUS ('Asix* The following from the Greenville N<yr* shows a curious instance of nog lisient legislation: f.'Woiheii have one right iu South Carolina not possessed by men. At the present term of court in Abbe ville, a woman was arraigned for car ryiiig a concealed weapon. Mi*. Burt appeared for the defendant and nr gtteil that this act applied only to men and not to women. That the act itself expressly declares that any person carrying ;i pistol,dirk, <Iagger slingshot, metal knuckles, razors, or other similar deadly weapons used fur the lullietion of personal injury, concealed almutA?* jierson, *fcc, thus clearly showing that the Legislature had no reference to women. The Judge sustained Air, Hurt iu his po sition, allying that if the Legislature had intended to include women, how ca>:y it would have been to have add ed the words his or her or their per son*, but they, like every body else, considered women non-combatants, and he held and Instructed the jury that the aet applied to men only, and that the women were not embraced under it, and instructed the jury to lind the defendant not {guilty. OBITUARY* Departed this life on the 1st of June, Agnes K., infant duUghter of Andrew G.. and Roacholla Stromnn, aged one year and six months. "Suf fer little children to come unto me .for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven." "We also deeply regret to announce the death of Mr. Andrew G. Strrj inanriier atr?rrtather," who jonly ?su r vived her oue week. It was sad, to stand by the grave of the father and his little daughter, who was snatch ed from our midst by the hand of Providence, but we hilfst be consoled that "He doeth all things well." As a friend and ciMzen. his loss is irre parable. He will be missed in the com rnunity in which he lived. As a friend, he Was ever ready to lend a helping band to the needy. Yes, we will miss him in all the social circles of life; and as a kind father and lov husband, he will never be re placed. He was a consistent member of the Methodist-Church. He del on the 8tb of June 1881, in the 43rd J'ctir of his nge. He leaves a loving wife and five little children, and a large circle of relatives and friends to mourn his loss. We extend our heartfelt sympathies to the bereaved ones. A PittKN'D. A NARROW ESCAPE. Rlitvr Or tngeburg Times : While Messrs A. B. Purler and It M. Shingler were going down to at tend Church in Charleston county . on last Sunday riloi'hlng, Mr. Shingler'S horse took fright aild ratl into Mr. Parlor's buggy, throwing Mr. Shin glcr and the young lady whom he wits driving out of his btiggy, unhurt) and by the breaking out of Mr. Shin gier's horse, Mr. Purler's took fright and dashed oil" throwing him and two <>r bis friends out of his buggy. Two of them were seriously hurt. When Mr. Parier fell out, he carried the linos with him and the other two young men remained in the buggy, until the horse ran about one bun* dre i yards, before they fell. It is sup posed that the lines got wrapped a round the hub of the wheel, and by one of the linos being wrapped short er than the other, it rri'ied the horse up to the fence, and as it did so, the horse leaped into the Held carrying the buggy with him. Very little dam age was done to cither of the buggies, but on the whole it was a very narrow escape for all concerned. Y ?
