To Farmers,

Feeling that the prosperity of our
County depends upon that of the farm
ing community, We propose TO devote more
time, and more space in our paper, to
the interests of our agricultural friends,
than is usual in the county papers.
We invite the aid of farmers in carry
ing out our plans, which are to make the
agricultural columns Of the Times, IL nc
di,m through which they can nsk for
and receive information from each other.
We earnestly ask the assistance of the
members of the County Agricultural
Society tthe only body i'll our midst or
ganizct i'll the interests of the tnrmer);
confident that we can be of service to
them, if thoy will allow us.
BY this we mean, that wo hold our
selves ready, in this department of the
paper, to represent the wants of the farm
crs of our county as they are presented
to us, and to do all in our power to pro-
mote their welfare.

Amnesty.

Ofall the brutal and cowardIy out
RACES practiscd upon the section of the
United States, known rs the South, by
tie E,nsrcss OF the EEinit.s States, tire
dealing out Of amnesty has probably
been the most characteristic of Paritanic
inability to entertain charity! Their
helli.h bitterness of soul and communls-
tic hatred Of gentle blood, impels them
blindly to keep under the political ban
of disfranchiscmcn the men Of our coun-
try, who previously to the war hud shown
thcir entire power to command tho South
ern people. Our people had entrusted
their lives and property in the hands,
of these our leaders and havc ever
since felt the brutal outrage that
has been systematically pcrpetrated
by tho North upon these opr rep
rcsentative men, and through them upon
each one of us us an individual of n COM
mon people. In such treatment the North
have displayed uncivilized venom and
usinine- short sightedncss. These men
whom they forbid to lead arc tho very
ones who know best how to lead our
minds to proper contemplation of tho
liew phase of affairs and our confidence
TO a complete burial Of past issues. They
our leaders are held prossratc in the
dust, alluded to with bitter denuncia-
ton and we forsooth arc called upon to
turn from them and join in this cry-all
this for what! for the priviledge Of cali
c'lling one out of three Radical votes.
This is amnesty. s

In speaking ofthe report Of tic Com
grcssionnl Ku-klux Committee, the
Charleston Courier says:
First. That the increase of the public
debt in South hmlina and the mnnagc-
1mcnr Of its niia,sscs wert both disastrous
and degrading"
Second. That Governor Scott had sent
such contradictory statements in refer
ence to the financial condition of the
State that they can give but little, if
any, weight to them
Third. That the whole system ofafIairs
in this State, whether financial or other.
wise, is one SIMPLY of "knavcry and cor
ruption." :"
No language could be more plain, or
declaration more clear and decisive. 1t
is the judgment, after thorough cxamina-
ton, Of the Republican members of Con.
grcss on the real condition of affairs in
South Carolinn rs they exist. This re-
port therefore jlstifics every allegation rs
to the enormous and wild expenditures,
heavy taNntion fraudulent increase Of
the public debt and spolintions of the
Treasury which have been made.

A eonospoodent Of the Seisntife Americans thus
explains his process for destroying musqui-
toes:
The process for destroying mosquitoes may be
condensed into few words. The strongest crys-
tallzed csrtolc acid should be placed in bottle,
and covered with the same quantity OF red cod
liver oil shake the bottle thoroughly until a
whitish colored foam appears; if such foam does
not arise, however q small quantity Of powdered
lime should be added, with little water. Pour
the mixture into dish or other convenient ar
ticle, and place il directly under the open win
dow, Is it is from this quarter the musquito en-
tiers.
In my humble opinion, the effect should be ex-
planned in this manner: The moment the mus
quito enters, it loses the scent of blood: for,
the combined odor of the oil and acid is much
more powerful than that Of blood, il follows, as
consequence, that the musquitO becomes sud-
denly perplexed. The consequence is, that after
scrambling and diminishing in the dark, the mus
quito is led, rs it were, instinctively into the
mixture, where it is either drowned in the oil or
burned to death by the acid.
Formerly was accustomed to smear my face,
arms, and breast with strong oil alone, but fire.
quently arose in the morning, smelling so ter
ribly that, though it protected me from musquitO
bites, was happy to lay it aside. have slaugh-
tered more mosquitoes with the article explained
above than ever coald have done with my fists,
or any other dangerous weapons.

During the hot season the excessive use of iced
water is Of the most prolific sources Of disease
and sudden death. In very hot weather, when
water is rendered extremely cold by the use OF
ice in the cooler, pefssB should drink it i'm that
condition, but should pour in or draw from the
hydrant As much water Of the ordinary tempera-
ture will modify the water to about an Octo-
Der temperature. Then he may drink without
danger. Nothing 10 worse for the teeth than ex-
tremely cold wafer, and many . man has acquired
dyspepsia by its bad effect upon the stomach.
Not few have suffered from COMPOSITIONS which
were dangerous or dsathly. We remember boy,

nected with our office. He was Just old enough
to be wise above that which is written. Being
one day demonstrated with for drinking two OF
three glasses of water as cold as ice could make
it, he replied tartly:
"Water is never too cold for me; never feel
the slightest injury from its use"
The weather was extremely hot, and il ever
cold water could be used at any time that of all
others, when the system was overheated, was not
the time to Use it so copiously. The next day he
was not in the Office, and the following day he
did not come. The third day, about noon, he
made his appearance, and looked as if he had had
chils and fever for three months. He drank no
more iced water that summer. and probably got
a lesson which will last him his life time. 1t is
a wonder it did not kill him. word to the wise
