Speech of Ex-GOv. Orr, of South

Van Convention. June 9Th:
Ex-GOv. Orr Of South Carolina. ON

terness with which President Grant
had been maligned, he compared his
experience in this respect, with that Of
Washington and jackson, and pre-
dieting for him triumphant vindica-
ton at the hands of the people. He
believed that President Grants reselec.
ton was necessity to preserve the
peace ut home and abroad. Referring
to the kuklux operations, he said, in
South Carolina, as you are aware, in
nine counties the writ OF habeos corpus
has been Suspended. The suspension
embraced those counties where it was
insisted that the State government was
unable, it is unnecessary for me to dis
cuss why. to give protection to men
there, whose only offcnse was their
political sentiment. They were color
cd men and white men, and when they
went to sleep at night they had no
guarantee that they would not be ta-
ken out of their beds at dead hour Of
the night and sc0urged, or else balls
put through their bodies. President
Grant did not act till the Legislature
of South Carolina passed resolutions.
calling upon him tosend forces of the
United States government there to
give them projections. With reference
to this Ku-Klux law, President Grant
has to execute the law. 1t was on the
statute book, and he was called upon
to execute It by the tribunal which
had the right to call upon him. He did
not pass the law. How did it come to
be passed.? Was it not the thunder Of
the New York Tribune, day after day,
and week after week, rung into the
ears Of Congress, demanding that they
should pass some such law to give
protection to them. and now when the
law has been passed.. and executed in
mercyand fir1nness how stands my old
friend Greeley? He turned round now

Some Bol,emians OF the German press
are at present doing mischief with lists
purporting to give the position Of the
German American press by which they
can only design to speculate upon the
credulity OF the Anglo American press
and its Ignorance of the German press.
Every German newspaper man knows
that these lists throw no lights at all up
on the position of the German press
We have at least l5O German exchan-
ges, and among them all there are not
six that really work for Greeley, and
not a dozen that desire to see Greeley
Endorsed by the Democratic National
Convention; but, on the other hand,
while a few dozen arc apathctic.
there are perhaps a hundred who give
evidence Of the most decidedly anti
pathy to Greeley. And we would be
willing to guarantee that some weeks
before Greeley will leave the presidell-
tial arena, not German Greeley pa
per will exist.

A PRoFIrABLE BUSINESS. Orange
growing in California, like the intelligent
culture os fruit elsewhere, is very re-
muneratiye. The average yield OF
oranges i'm that State is set down at about
one thousand five hundred for each Tree.
Assuming this. seventy thousand oranges
would result. As these would sell at $40
per thousand, an orangery Of ten acres
would give gross revenue of $4,000,
which reduced by one-half TO include all
contingencies of poor crops, etc. would
leave $1,000 rs the almost certain value
of seasons growth. At Los Angeles.
recently, a single crop was sold Tor $780,
coo. while the entire outlay due TO prun'
INC, taking care of the ground, and at
tendance Of tie growing fruit was not
more than $500. As an investment, there
is probably no better one than that OF 4
few thousand dollars in planting an
orangery, say in Florida. The original
cost would be slight; and alter few
years, when the trees begin TO bear, the
returns of good season. barring any
possible loss from frost, when is the
great enemy of the orange grower-wiil
quite cover the expenses entailed. After
that comfortable income may confident
Is be anticipated from the proceeds OF

We envy neither the men or women
who cannot speak to lellow-creaturc out
OF their own circle, nor 10 anybody with
out the formality OF an introduction.
There Is no computing the amount OF
profit as well as pleasure such persons
use by hedging themselves in with this
stupid fence of fastidiousneSs. We have
always found more oil this feeling among
persons who were touchy on their social
position. than among those self respect
ing persons who thought nothing about
it. A great deal OF intelligence is float
ing round the world without being label
ed. and those men or women who have
the good sense to recognize this fact and
act upon it, not only are educating them
selves, but comforting that pleasure which
we are all bound by the common ties oil
humanity TO exchange with each Othel
1t seems to US that il is only the snob and
prelender who takes different view Of

agricultural.


Afr. III, @. Smith OF Parsonsield. makes
the following reply to a circular from Tue
Department of Agriculture asking about
lenees. Tie thinks it IL requires the
growth of $4,000 acres of wood and TIM
Der lands 10 support our old wooden
fences, we should be on the lookout tor
a substitute. He writes, | will state the
basis from which deduce my estimates
The town of ParsonsieJ contains oh
square miles and has % miles OF higE-
way. all fenced except some two miles.
think the county OF York has as many
miles OF road in proportion, three-sixth
of il farm land fenced. This gives 10
rods OF road fence to each 100 acres and
AS tho county surveys 444,4l4 acres we
have 1921 rods of road fence.
On my farm of 200 acres | maintain
500 rods of stone wall exclusive OF road
fence. assume with confidence that
my Enclosures are as large As the average
in the county. If these premises are
correct we have 525 rods of fence to each
100 acres land, or about two million rods
in all. | should think that so per cent IS
stone walls 20 boards, 40 brush and pole
10 other kinds. Our fences are suppoS-
ell to be Att high bat actually tall several
inches short. Most OF the board
fence is built with upright stakes con-
fined with withes The brush aud pole
with cross stakes. Posts are used along
highways and in the vicinity of buildings.
The above estimates give the county
COO GOO rods stone wall, 500, 900 pole and
brush; 400. 600 board. all other 100000.
A common pole fence requires strip OF
growth foil four rods wide to keep il in
repair. and sapling boards must be re-
newed once in ten years.
put the annual cost for repairs ut
100000, divided thus-wall $1,000;
pole and brush sl0O, 900; board $40, 1000;
other STYLES $4,000 An suuual expeu-
diturc of one dollar will keep 100 rods
wall in repair on granite soil. 10 re-
pair the same amount of board requires
$40, while $3.50 will barely keep 100
rods OF running hedge patched.
The fields in the county may average
y acres each, with tendency to en-
largement Fence boards cost about
$500 per thousand. But few rails are
used. Perhaps % per cent, of the
openings have gates to 80 per cent. bars.
The gates are of every pattern that
Yankee ingenuity or awkwardnesS can
invent, costing from ten cents to five
dollars. The amount of worm. or post
and, rail is limited. New board fence
cost neatly one dollar per rod and wall
$50. Farmers use the kinds of wood
growing on their lots. Pine, hemlock,
ash and poplar last from seven to ten
years Maple, beech and birch not more
than halt as long.

Planting Trees.

In paper recently read before the
Vermont Agricultural Society, the writer
states that he commenced planting trees
thirty year ago, and followed published
directions to dig wide and deep, and hII
tho hole when planting with fine nch
loan. but that not having time to COM
plete his whole planting after that man
ne.. he planted many trees by Simply
digging off the top soil and loosening
the sub soil, thus saving vast amount
of labor, and in reality placing the roots
Of the tree in just as good position for
growth rs those in the deep dug holes.
From the first, he says, the last planting
made equal gro WITH with the first; and
while the first planted were continually
blowing over, and to day not one stands
erect. his last planting are all upright
and have never required care.

Farnlin1 as e Is.

The farmer has for all times been an
individual dependent on storm and sun
shine and at the same time often the vic
tim of these very elements which contrib
ute so much to his prosperity. These
things have made him in reality 10 feel
that he IS the creature of circumstances,
and that the smiles and frownS of heaven
have quite rs much or more TO do with
his crops than his individual iorcthought
and labor This state of things has
been productive in many instances of =
sort of contempt for agricultural pur-
suits, a sort Of encouragement that in
many cases is calculated 10 drive workers
from the farm. and oitentimes it deters
men from entering upon the life OF 4
farmer We have known of instances
where men have been ruined by the
failure Of crop, the proceeds of which
were to have paid mortgage OF some
pressing debt These are sad realities,
but every year they repeat themselves,
and in each case the victim is entitled to
the SYMPATHY Of US all. 1t is not neces-
sary tor our purpose TO go into details OF
these failures, but enough for us TO un-
deistand that This fatal defect, as it were,
is working great injury TO the agricultur-
al prospects of the country in
sects and rot are many OF them fatal and
unforeseen circumstances in the way of
the prosperity of the farmer, and visit
from any one Of these evils is well call
culated 70 discourage even the stout
hearted; but let Us look this matter
squarely in the face and see il there is
not some way to avoid in part the diff
Guilty.
A study of this subject conyinces most
men that farming alter all is one of the
sciences, and as a science it ranks high,
and ), is imperative that he who would
attempt to follow this calling must make
up his mind TO become a student in the
great school where is taught the nature
OF not only the soils but the productions
OF the soil. Study will reveal the tact
that every soil can be made productive
under nearly all circs instances, and that
TO successfully pursue the high and no.
bic science we must devote ourselves
diligently to the work of preparation.
Agriculture IS, and always has been,
aproftable pursuit even in the face OF
the many drawbacks enumerated. The
farmer has grown rich while the trades
man has grown poor; side BY side these
two callings may be judged. aud we
leave it TO any fair minded man, if the
farmer has not always had better re-
suit, we mean TO say, that the same en-.
engy and the same money on the farm
will, in nine cases out of ten, prove the
most successful Notwithstanding the
many difficulties, and particularly the
great waste and wretchedly bad manage.
ment of many farmers we see steady
growth in our agricultural hopes. The
country is growing rich from the gains
made on the farm, and these gains are
the results, not of good management bu
from the fact of the demand made tol
the productssof agriculture.
