Hints TO Writers.

/. BE brief. This is the age of tele-
graph and stenography.
2. Bepointed. Don't write all around
a subject without hitting it.
3. State facts, but don't stop to NOR
alize. It's drowsy business. Let the
reader do his own dreaming.
4. Eschew prefaces. Plunge at once
into the subject like swimmer into cold
water.
5. If you have written sentence
which you think particularly fine, draw a
pen across it. A pet child is the worst
in the family.
6. Condense, Make sure that you
really have an idea, and then record it in
the shortest possible terms. We want
thoughts in their quintessence.
7. When the article is complete strike
out nine-tenths Of the adjectiyes. The
English is a strong language, but it won't
bear too much reducing.
s. Avoid all high-Aown language
The plainest Anglo-Saxon words are the
best.
8. Make your sentences short. Eve.
ry period is milestone at which the rea.
der may halt aud rest
10. Write lcgibly. Don't let youl
manuscript look like the track Of a spider
half drowned in ink.

over" is not race at all, and the life tha

Why don't you take the papers?
Nor from the printers sneak,
Because you borrow from his boy
A paper every week.
For lie who takes the papers,
And pays his bill when due;
Can live in peace with God and man,
And with the printer too:

TAKE THE PAPERS.
BY N. p. WILLIS.


Why don't you take the papersf
They're the life of our delight;
Except about election time,
And then read for spite.
Subscribe! you cannot lose cent,
Why should you bo afraid'
For cash thus paid is money lent
At interest four-fold paid.
Go, then, and take the papers,
And pay to-day, nor pay delay,
And my word for it is inferred,
You'll live until you're gray.
An old neighbor of mine,
While dying with cough,
Desired to hear the latest news
While be was going off.

THE CHILDREN,

Heaven bless the childrcnl
Beautiful and fair,
Needing ALA mothers love,
All fathers care.
Restless little pilgrims
On the road of lifo,
Eager for the journey hence,
Earnest for the strife.
Glad to push their vessel
From the parent shore
Once on life's broad billowy sea
Twill return no more.
Ever asking questions
That confound the wise;
Peering into mysteries
With their truthful eyes.
Setting us examples
Ever, day by day,
Teaching us the way of life
In their simple way.
Heaven bless the children!
AS they once were blessed,
When the gentle Lord of Love
Little ones earessed.
Lead them safely over
Life's tempestuous sea;
Keep them from the evil hour,i
Teach them to be FREE!
Free from all cxccsses;
Free from moral stain
From the glutton's heavy bonds,
From the drunkard's 8 chain
Free from SIMS allurements,
Be they what they may
Walking the narrow path
Towards the gates Of day.

ANDY JOHNSON DEFEATED.

telegram from Nashville brings the informa-
ton that ex- President JOHNSON has been defeated
for the United States Senate. Several ballots were
had, and JoHXsoY's friends were in high spirits
and felt confident of his success. rs his name was
prominent from the outset On the fifth ballot,
We believe. the entire opposition to JOHNSON con-
centraied their strength and supported MIR. HENRY
COOPER, of Davidson County. and that gentleman
was elected by majority Of four votes Intense
excitement prevailed on the announcement of the
vore as the result was complete surprise. We
have not made up our mind exactly how We leel
OF the result, but very much like the individual
who said, elf lie had done anything that lie was
sorry for, he was glad Of it," In other words the
entrance OF JOHNSON into the United States Senate
scarcely seemed to us matter OF congraulalon
and yet the hearty bows he would have dealt
amongst the Radicals Gould not possibly be sub
ject over which we were likely to weep. But he
has been defeated, and must now retire TO his
home and at least for the time sink from the pub.
lie gaze His successful competitor is unknown
to the country at large and not able at this
writing to furnish any definite information con-
cerning his autecedents.

SURPRISINGLY CHEAP 0EFER.-We have al
ready alluded to the merits of the new and superb
agricultural magazine, the Rural Carotinian, pub
lished by WALKER. EVANS & CoGswELL, of Charles
ton, at 81 per annum. Every farmer and planter
in the State ought to havo it. We see that the
proprietors of the Charleston News, who already
publish the cheapest as well as one of the very
best daily papers in the South, have just effected
o combination by which they will be enabled to
supply the Daily Nems together with the Rural
Carohnian, for one year, at six dollars and fifty
cents; and the 7fi- Weekly Neoss with the Rural
CdrOlnian for one year, at four dollars This offer
is certainly astonishngy low and will only remain
open until the first of January next. Whoever
wants to get live Charleston paper, and at the
same time be fully posted in everything that re-
lates to successful farming should at once take ad-
vantage of these rates. We are authorized to re-
ceive new subscribers to both of these publications
at the above rates. and will take pleasure in for
wardng names and money.

The following embraces full and complete re-
turn of the inhabitants of this County, as furnished
by the Census Taker:
Number of children between six and sixteen
years of age: Males-whe. 2.O12; coored, l.
329 Females-white. 1867; colored, 1874.
Males over twenty-one years of age-white,

1863; colcred, 4,779. Tota cf whites. l4.O72;
total of colored, 9,053. Grand total, 23,l25.
1t is a curious and interesting fact. as disclosed
by the above figures, showing the number of voters
in this County, that nearly the entire strength Of
the colored voters registered and voted at the elec
tions held during last year, while the strength of
the white voters was at no time fully developed.
In fact, there must be several hundred white men
entitled to vote-for no man over twenty
years is dsfranchised, except for felony-who are
not yet registered. and have consequently 80 far
failed to exercise the right of suffrage under the
new Constitution.

occupied the attention of the Legislature, and af-
ter that work had been accomplished, speedy ad'

lively unknown until recently. Mr.. LEWIS be-
longs to Rockingham county, and is fifty years
wears old. He was member of the Secession
Convention, and voted against and refused to sign
the Ordinance of Secession He was q Union man
through the war, and rs the candidate OF the
WALKER party for Lieutenant-Governor, led his

is also native of Virginia, and nephew of Gen.
JOSEPH E. JOHNSTON. He is lawyer by profess
sion, and has always been borough Union man.
Recently he was appointed Circuit Judge by Gen.

THE STATE AGRICULTURAL FAIR.

On The 10TH 1lth and 18th of November, Co
lumba promises TO be scene ofpublic interest and
public enjoyment such as has not been equalled
for many years. From information received, it is
probable that every portion of the State will be rep
resented by her brawny sons and lovely daughters.
many of whom will exhibit evidences of industrial
enterprise that will go far TO encourage the hopes
of our people and stimulate them to fresh e1er-
tion The managers of the Fair are working with
great activity and with q common aim TO secure
success. So far their efforts have been rewarded
The railroads of the State will carry visitors to

for exhibition are 10 be passed free of charge
Money has been generously subscribed for prizes;
the buildings are in q forward state Of construc
tion, and the arrangements for the proper exhibit
ton of the various articles are ample.
Altogether the event is which all persons
may pleasurably anticipate. because the influences
it will generate must prove bcnefcal 10 every
class. Citizens will be brought together who are
mutually interested in the development OF the re-
sonrces Of the State; experience and Suggestions
will be nterchanged; men will see with their own
ewes the practical results of experiments in farm
ing, machinery and domestic enterprise. and al
together lessons are likely to be taught TO eye,
hand and brain that w.ll more than repay fer the
time and expenditure given tn the OCCASION
We hope that Anderson will make u handsome
display in representatives and articles for exhb-
ton, and if we may believe the promises of the
Committee, all who attend will receive hosPita'
bic welcome from the citizens of Columbia.
