H
WIFE ??SELLING.
A Practie* Which was Followed
?aif & Century Ago.
Mr. Editor : Among the practices which
bare passed away was that of selling wives,
Mr. Jim Ario, ao old citizen of thia township
wbose name I bare already meotiooed in
these columns, caking of bis younger days,
said ia "'hat day sod time it was a commoo
thing for meo to eell their wives." Mr. Avin
knew three iostaoces where meo did so, one
of these meo tired io what is BOW Privateer
Township sod be sold his wife, as well as
Mr. Avio could remember, for "a gallos of
whiskey, a pound of tobacco and a pair of
shoes." Tots event occurred fifty odd years
ago. Tb? sale appears to have oeea, to a
large extent, merely nominal, still it was a
sale. Times bave cbaoged sines theo and
changed for the better: Nc white man would
dare sell bis wife now and I hardly suppose a
negro would undertake such a job. McDonald

Sinking Fund Commission
Finally Crosses the Bridge.
The State sinking food comission,
tinder tbe provision slipped into the
new sinking fnnd commision act by
the free conference committee in the
last days of the recent session. Has
cancelled the mortgage given by J.
W. Alexander on the agricultural hall
property and marked the $10,000
document "satisfied,'7 thus making
the purchaser a present of a clear ten
thousand dollars in the effort to head
off Mr. Lyle? in his fight to have the
federal courts pass upon the validity
of the Blue Kidge scrip.
The State a few days ago gave a
statement of the status of the case,
showing why it was considered abso?
lutely necessary to do this in order
to prevent Mr. Lyles from ?rcing
the State into court in a case raising
directly the main issue as to the valid*
ity of the script It was thought
then that the State would take such
action. When Mr Lyles was told
that this seemed to be the next move
of the State in the rather interesting
and exciting legal game, be remarked
that this was the only sensible thing
for the State to do ; then be smiled
and added that "it seemed to bim
that it came too late " It is known
that the papers in the case referred
to have. been filed for some time
It was said last evening that Attor?
ney Lyles had left the city in the
afternoon, bnt wither he went is not
known. He does not seem to be raf*
fled by the apparent knock ont blow,
however., His next move is not even
gassed at yet.
Yesterday all the members of the
sinking fond commission were pres?
ent at the meeting. The meeting
continued for several hours ; the en*
tire matter was discussed and gone
over in ali its phases ; finally the
board reached the decision to cancel
the mortgage, mark it "satisfied/'
and return it to Mr. Lyles as attorney
for J. W. Alexandar A resolution,
to this effect was adopted, so the
beard announced, but a copy of the
paper could not be obtained, owing
to the usuel amount of red tape that
has to be gone through in order to
find out what the commission has
done.-The State.

OCCASION AL.,
Meeting of the Board of Con?
trol.
This evening the State board of con?
trol will meet io monthly session and
the proceedings will doubtless be of
some publie interest. Chairman Doutbit
bas b-in here a couple of days getting
things in scape for the coming meet?
ing.
When asked yesterday about the pro
bality of the board withdrawing all the
hotel privileges in accordance with the
view of the general assembly expressed
in its resolution on the subject, Mr.
Doatbit said he did not know what
woold he clone, bot significantly re-v
marked that the members of the legis?
lature had not studied that particular
phase of the business as bad the mem?
bers of tho State board. He seems to
think that hotel dispensaries are better
than having o. p. agents' in each hotel.
Mr. Doutbit says that he has been
carefully locking into the matter of the
advisability of remaining tn the agri?
cultural hall bail din g st the rate of
rent that bus to be paid. He says he
is still looking into the matter of pur?
chasing a suitable place easy of access
by railroad sidetracks. He says he can
easily show the board where $6,000 a
year can be saved on"4 rent and drayage
and possibly 3160 a month more can be
saved io salaries of men, whose servi?
ces would not be needed in osse of such
a removal. He will doubtless have
some suggestions to make to the board
to-night along this line.
Mr. Doutbit says the oext meeting of
the board will be the interesting one ;
then all the officers of the dispensary
save the commissioner, who holds hts
office for two years, will have to be
chosen. Already there are msny appli?
cants for tba several positions in the
big ooneern.

Talks Concerning. Farming. !
BY 8 G. S
TALK NO 6
Mr. Editor : Mutual dependence is
tbe chief order of civilized life. I
hold the universal axiom that there is
no euch thing as absolute independ?
ence in any department of human
life. God only is independent.
Therefore man's affairs are) essential?
ly relative and dependent
The theme of this talk, as previous?
ly announced, is : "The merchant as a
prime factor in agricultural as well
as municipal matters and how his in?
terests and the interests of the farm?
er are mutual and commingle insepa?
rably."
Mercantile business may be said to
be conducted upon a fair and equita?
ble basis when the buyer gets the
worth of his money, and the mer
chant gets, or is sure of getting, all
the money for which he sold his
goods On any other basis the trans?
action is hazardous and unfair ; either
the buyer or the merchant is at a
disadvantage. In all such dealings
the results are precarious and n?.sat
iafactory. It is the duty of the wise
and prudent to seek out and cure
every cause of evil. As the old
adage goes, "mp it in the bud."
I look into our agricultural lien
laws and find that the land owner is
so well protected in his prior claims
that he needs no written farm agree?
ment for bis protection against vi?
cious tenants Not so with the mer?
chant The labor coming next to
the landlord, necessitates certain spe?
cial liens and mortgages by the mer?
chant against the laborer, binding
him and every article of value he
owns upon the hazard of his crop
This policy has a demoralizing influ?
ence over the laborer, debasing bis
manhood as well as dampening the
ardor of his ambition. There is an?
other evil growing ont of this meth
od of mercantile jurisdiction ; it
pisces the average tenant beyond
the ken of medical assistance. There
is riot a doctor in Sumter County who
can afford or will enlist his services
in behalf cf the common tenant upon
his mere ipse dixit to pay.
I hold that if the labor of a country
is demoralized, the flounces of that
country are likewise; and "hard
times" is the constant cry in all
classes. I have briefly stated facts ;
I suggest the remedy as it occurs to
my mind. The merchant as a factor
in the commercial world supreme.
They also, to a great rx .eure, bold
the purse strings of the agricultural
wealth of this country What next?
Well, I practice all I preach, I say
the farmer and the merchant should
join mutually to remedy the financial
distresses of Sumter County. For
example take a plantation with twenty
tenant families. _ The average
amount of merchandise including,
fertilizers, supplies &C , is $75 00
total $1,500. The common practice
here is for the merchant to propor?
tion the kinds of goods on informa
tion received from the tenant, which
two-thirds of the time be finds him?
self misled and his reckoning found?
ed on a false basis. The conse?
quences are that the fertilizers he
furnishes are too meager, and quite
unsuited to the soil it was intended
to benefit; the supplies and dry
goods are scant at a two hundred per
cent, price, and worst of all very little
of it are necessaries for farm services.
Hence? the laborer soon sees that he
is a prey to the sheriff under his lien
contract, and sets to work to steal
his crop or otherwise act against
the old maxim that "honesty is the
best policy." Do you want a remedy ?
Take for example the twenty tenant
plantation referred to :
First, the laodlord aod merchant
should get together at the beginoiBg
sod determine the amount of the require
ment for each tenant, aod the propor?
tions of dry goode, groceries aod fer?
tilizers as well as farming implements,
seed cat8, &e, and agree to divide
eqoally for their pay ; but the mer?
chant's account should at bo time exceed
the amount of the landlord's rent.
This bolds equally with smaller farms.
Seoondly, there should be no carry?
ing over from year to year of old debts.
The end of each year should terminate
the tenant's debts with both laodlord
and merchaot Let this beoome tbe
custom io Sumter and every landlord
and merchant will by the natural order
of business habits aod common sense
adopt safeguards by which they will
effect settlements satisfactory aod equi?
table to all coooerned.
Thirdly, and lastly, tbe landlord
and merchant acting joiotly for mutual
protection should agree: upon ali such
artinles as shall be sold to (be teosut ;
absolutely excludiog tobaoco. sogar,
coffee, whiskey, and trifles in the dry
goods line. This method will eucour
age tenants to raise poultry, vegetables,
truck patch crops, &o, for market, for
the purpose of buying; these luxuries
with cash This mechod also would
insure to the tenant more meat, salt,
grits and other stapie groceries neces?
sary to his wellbeing. There should
be a maximum price agreed on between
landlord and merchant as to land lord
rent and these aforesaid staple neces
sitie??
These mutual agreement? faithfully
carried out will restore to the average
tenant that one thing needful, mind
combined with labor ; and a healthy,
happy infloenoe will prevail throughout
all classes in Sumter County.

The New York Mail aod Express
FSJB that daring the war two regiments
were stationed on opposite sides of a
river A ohaplaio went to work ou the
meo composing the regimeot stationed
oo tbe north side of the river with a
view of converting them. A number
of the men responded to his efforts, and
he left that regiment and went to
continue bis* miseonary work io tb t
regiment on the sooth side of the river.
After laboring some time, a longer time
than be had done with the other regi?
ment, be found that he would not be as
successful. Only about a dczen meo
were baptized from the last regiment.
The chaplain bad a talk with the colo?
nel aod mentioned the fact that so few
of the meo bad been baptized.
"How many men did you say were
baptized in tbe other regiment?'7 tbe
colonel asked the chaplain sharply.
"Twenty four," was the reply from
the chaplain.
The colonel turned quickly arouod to
his orderly with tbe quick ccmmand :
"Detail thirty-five men at once to be
baptized by the ohaplain. I don't pro
.nose to let any one horse regiment get
ahead of us in that way. We've got a
reputation to eustaio."
This reminds us of a story that was
told by the late General John Bretton,
wbiob be regarded as a good joke on
tbe Presbyterians. Io tho summer of
1863, not lon s; after the siege of Suf?
folk, in which Jenkins' brigade bore
the brunt of the hardships and priva?
tions incident to the siege, the brigade
wss stationed at Petersburg, where it
had an easy time compared with any
of its previous experiences. Each
regiment bad a chaplain exespt the
Sixth, which was then under Bpatton's
command, and for some reason be bad
set bis bead upon securing the services
of Wm. E. Boggs, a recent graduate of
the Colombia theological seminary,
who is now the distinguished president
of the University of Georgia. MrJ
Boggs was from Fairfield County, and
was regarded as unusally bright
and promising. Col Bretton bad made
application* to tbe professor io the
seminary asking that Mr. Boggs be
sent to his regiment prior to gradua?
tion, but this was refused and the ap?
plication was suspended, though tbe
officials in Colombia were notified that
the position would be kept open for Mr.
Bdggs. Several months clasped, and
the request of Col. Bratton was not
heeded, bot Mr. Boggs was assigned
to other work io tbe vicinity of his
home. In the meantime a widespread
religious interest sprung up ataong
the soldiers of Jenkins' brigade, aod
the chaplains were holding nightly
meetings, which proved very success?
ful, and hundreds of men connected
themselves with tbe three denomina?
tions represented by the respective
chaplains, namely, Methodist, Pres?
byterian, and Baptist. Tbe prepon?
derance of ooo verts joined the Baptists,
however, and ir. was not an uncommon
sight for large cambers to be immersed
in the canal, hard by the soldiers'
camp. These immersions were wit?
nessed generally by the officers and
men of the eotire brigade, and Col.
Bratton observed that a considerable
number of the Sixth had gone down
in i y the water with the Baptist chap?
lain- He resolved to use this fact in
order to hasten the oomiog of Mr.
Boggs, aod accordingly be wrote to one
of the seminary professors a very point?
ed note, whiob read about as follows :
"Why don't you send Boggs? If you
delay much longer, the Baptists will
have the last one of my men io tbe
oanal before be can get here." Tbe
reaolt was that Mr. Boggs came on im?
mediately, and within a week or so he
was duly installed zs chaplain of the
gallant Sixth, to the great joy of its
beloved commander. Tbe new chap?
lain was cordially reoeived by the other
preachers, and it was only a short time
until he became one of the most popu?
lar and useful chaplains in the army.
