DRY GOODS EMPORIUM!
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

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.

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. *

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 ?
