THE TRUE SOUTHRON,
(FoRMERLY THE SUMTER NEws.)
ESTABLISHED IN 1866.
STRICTLY White MANS PAPER.
An Independent and fearless Journal, Devo.
ted to the Interests of the Good and
True People Of the Country.

ERoM the growing popularity and demand
II abroad for our paper, which after more than
seven years Of unremitting labor and effort we
havethe proud satisfaction Of seeing firmly estab-
lished, upon business basis, we are convinced of
the propriety of imparting to it broader charac-
ter, and making it more general exponent of the
sentiments and interests Of the country at large
and representative Of its intelligence and welfare
but more especially of the South and
OUR OWN SOUTHERN PEOPLE.
We have therefore, determined, to the best of our
ability, to occupy this higher and wider plane of
usefulness and as first step toward doing SO,
we abandon the name of the Sumter NeDs, which
smacks too much of localism, for that Of
THE TRUE SOUTHRON.
We shall continue, as heretofore, to stand firm
ly and squarely upon our principles, maintain
our independence, and to battle for right and
truth against official corruption, venality and
fraud-not swerving from the right through mo-
tives of crooked policy or fallacious and short
sighted expediency.
We receive no Government pap, to help us
along; but look to the men whose rights and in
terests we watch and defend, by day and by night,
to sustain us, by cordial and liberal support.
We ask all friends of
HONESTY AND GOOD GOVERNMENT
To interest themselves in extending our circula-
ton, and thereby aid us in battle against the
corruption and vilainy Of the Party in Power,
which is fast destroying the liberties Of our people
and the resources of the country.

FARM AND GARnEM

The following is an extract from an address
by Elliot c. Cowdin before the Westminster
county On, " Agricultural Society
1T has been my lot as an active merchant
to minglc with men in almost every station
OF .-ptiety, in many Of the nations OF Europe
and am convinced that no class III any
country of the world is so thoroughly indie
pendent, possess SO many real comforts, aho
have SO little cause for anxiety and dlscon
tent connected with their vocation, as the
farmers of America. Always an honorable
pursuit farming is remuneratiVe Wher
properly prosecuted: and rs general rule
it is more universally successful Than any
other calling. You may question THIS state
ment until you carefully consider it.
Let me say to our young men, be not enyi.
Gus of the merchant or the banker of tho
busting city: but rather bear III mind that
of all who chase after wealth along the slip
pcry paths Of commerce and finance, scarcely
more than one in Il hundred reaches opulcnce
a few more obtain competency in season for
old age, while ninc-tenths misgrably fail ere
they have started in the race and for the
most part, die poor,
Neither let our young men be lured from
rural lle-lts duties and its dignities, its tolls
and its rewarls-by the glittering bauble o. the
learned professions. Lawyers, physician
and clergymcn, at the very best, lead labori
Gus lives. The great body of these are mere
lrudgcs-hard working men, who pursue the
noiseleSs tenor Of their way, and gain bare
subsistence. ANY OF them rise above the
common mass, it is usually the result Of years
of intense study and tireless application to
their one pursuit, which unless they are \
marvel of good luck, will surely undermine
their health, and very likely afford nothing
to leave to their heirs except that professional
fame which is among the most evancscent OF
earthly possessions. Labor throughout the
universe, is the established order OF things.
The successful farmer must observe, study
and try. Like all other pursuits, he gains by
what lie does with eye, brain and hand lie
must not only accumulate facts with care,
but trace them to their original sources,
examine their relations to other facts, and
then skilfully apply them to the particular
case before him. He must never forget THAT
his avocation is an art and silence, and like
other arts and sciences is governed 10y the
law Of progress. Alas, how many farmers
cultivate the soil to-day just rs their anccS-
tors titled it generations ago, and usually for
no better reason lhan that their great grand
fathers SET the example which they blindly
follow"

southern California for miles and see thou
sands of sheep but not IA man to watch them.
Around each flock or band of, say, a thousand
sheep, are half Il dozen dogs of a peculiar
brecd-dogS whose progcnitors were imported
from the sheep pastures of the Old World
These dogs take the entire care of the sheep,
drive them out to pasture in the morning
keep them from straying during the day and
bring them home at night. They have
inherited talent for keeping sheep. But ihc
shepherds do not depend wholly on that;
they cultivate il in this way--so, at least the
old shepherds say: When a lamb is born it
is taken away from the mother sheep before
She has seen it, and puppy put in It's place
the sheep sucklcs the puppy a"i learns to
love it. When the puppy grows old enough
10 cat meat, 1t is ted in ilr9 MOrning and sen,
out with the sheep, 4 stays with them
because it is accusttN1ti to he with its moth
er but it cannot fccd with them. As they
get full the 8c9 gets hungry At length
impatient tt lViurn where it hopes Ia gcl
another 'Ditte of meat, il begins to tease and
worry itS luothcr, and finally starts hcrtowards
home, tlu other sheep follow, and thaS the
whole flock is brought in Ii the dog bHng,
the sheep home too soon, or comes without
them, he gets no supper, or is punished in
some way Hence he SOcn learns when 10
come and to see to it that none of his charge
are left behind. These animals are trained
bv taking advantage Of their instincts and
appCtitcs.
