Tie Earal Carolinian, for August,
under the head of Thoughts and
Suggestions fo: the Month" says:
Make hay while the sun shines, ;"
and turn everything to a good use
that will serve for forage-crab-grass,
pea-vines, millet, sorghum, etc.-and
don't spoil your hay in the curing,

ing neglect in this matter, and not
the lack Of good material for hay,
that so often makes the Southern
home grown article so poor. Our
crab-grass-always abundant, as eve
ry farmer knows to hissorr though
not the best.in the world-makes bet
ter hay than the greaterpart of that
brought here from the North and
sold at heavy prices but if cut after
all the life has gone out of it, and
then exposed to dew and rain for a
week or two, nobody can blame our
poor mules and cattle for turning up
their noses at it. In connection with
dry forage, do not neglect to have a
plenty of turnips. The Ruta Bagas
should have been planted in July
in the middle and upper country,
but it is not yet too late, if a
stand has not been obtained, to sow

The Raleigh News saws: A few

The Raleigh News says: A few
years ago Judge Watts, whose farm
is near Franklinton, discovered in his
cotton field quite a number of stalks
which contained double or twin bolls
of cotton, each Of the two being as
large as ordinary single bolls. AS a
matter OF experiment he preserved
all the seed Of this cotton, which he
planted the next year in lot apart
from his other crop. Every stalk
from this seed produced double bolls
and superior article Of lint. Again
he was careful> in preserving every
seed and this season planted with it,
the most of his crop Of about 100
acres, manuring the land very heavi
ly. Very strange to say, the stalk of
this year produces triple boil, and
each of the three were larger, ,ron an
average, than the original singlesboil.
The boil terminates from the main
stalk and branches in the largest pro-
fusion, and in some instances so heav-
lily is the stalk laden with them, that
propping the stalk with supports, is
necessary. An Eastern farmer that
saw the field, and who gave us the
information, says, never in his ezpe-
rience has he seen, read or heard Of
the like. before. Judge Watts will
have several of the stalks on exhibi-
tion at the State Fair, sWhen all can
see this freak of,naturc.

V1cToRs RsEMMANCEL's WARNING. TO
THE FRENCH CHURcH.-The King of
Italy expresses decided aversion to
the so-called religious pilgrirnages
which are exciting so deep an interest
in France. He thinks that the French
priests mediate political revolution
under the cover Of pious journeys to
Saroy, and that the popular cry of
Save Rome and France" is meant
not only for tie benefit Of the Pope
in France, but is in reality a war cry
against Italian unity. by which the
church party hope to restore the
States of the Church to their former
position, and re-seat the Pope upon
his temporal throne. Victor EN-
manuel cannot stand still while an
intolerant and merciless religious war
fare against his Government is gath
ering its forces. If he does not take
the aggressive, he will certainly be
forced to assume the defensive before
long, eand appearances Indicate that
he will adopt the former policy, in
spite of the black hangings and yell
low tapers on the shrine Of St. Pc
ter's, which are shortly to imparts
their sombre terrors to the bull Of ex3'
communication, which will be fulmi-
mated gainst his heretical head. eff

many and ! shall do it." This Ian
guage,is clear, brief and tosthe point.
1t is the talk of king WHO has the
reputation of being plucky and reso-'
lutte. Free thinking Germany would
engage not reluctantly in war against
combination designed to re-estab-
lish the temporal power ofthe Church
of Rome, and the next struggle in
that instance would be more desper-.
ate and bloody, if possible, than that
which resulted in the defeat of France.
under Louis Napoleon. Evidently
desperate conflict is not far of, in
which France, Italy and Germany,
and perhaps Spain and Portugal'also,
will be involved. Nothing can avert
it but complete backing down OF
the church party, and of this there Is

One of Woman's Rights.

A writer in the Home Journal asks
two pertinent questions: Why is
woman SO weak ?" and Z" Why so
easily overborne in the struggle for
bread.?" And answers them by say
ing: Mainly because she is held to
no persistent career Of training in
the field of useful labor" The edi-
tor of .4ppzeton's Journal answers
the questions somewhat difently. He
says: Woman is weak because her
sex is persistently overworked-be-
cause her physiological conditions i'm
peratively require periods of rest,
and these conditions are disregarded,
sometimes through necessity, but Of
tener from ignorance or through reck-
lessness, and adds:
What women have right to de-
mand is an exemption from labor.
They should have occupation. They
should have employments to keep
busy their hands and their minds.
But sustained or persistent labor-la-
Dor that comes as strain at those
times, the nature of which all women
understand, and labor that comes
when the whole resources Of the sys-
tenn are needed to support the second
life borne within the bosom-ls wo-
fully disastrous, not only to the I'M
mediate sufferers, but to many sue
ceedmy generations.
Give women exercise. In child
hood, let them have the physical ac-
tivity that boys have. When woman
hood begins, let the necessities OF
the sex subordinate every other con-
sideration. There are regular periods
after this event, when rest for the
body is an imperative requirement.
Hence all forms oflabor that are uni
formly exacting; all forms that dis
regard the special requirements Of
the laborers in matters pertaining to
sex, are fatal social blunder. Wo-
men clerks, for instance, who have
to stand all day at the counter, will
be sure, if they marry, to give to the
world a still more enfeebled race Of
beings.
Not labor, we repeat, but exemp-
ton from labor, is what women have
a right to demand. They have one
supreme mission in this world-that
is, to be mothers-and to this great
end all other considerations are sec
ondary. Bread winning, Of course,
is with many women an imperative
and immediate necessity. Hence eff.
forts should be made to secure for
them all lighter and less exaeting EN-.
ployments. Many must labor ever
when disease and hastened death will
be the inevitable results; but all o.
us should understand, and all Of us
be forced to concede their one supreme
claim-the right Of rest-labor being
necessary, perhaps, but none the
less calamitous violation of funda-
mental natural right of sex. Let wo'
men demand the privilege of mother
hood, and the right OF support from
man and men who won't marry ought
to be taxed for their benefit-which
is revolutionary, perhaps, but good
doctrine nevertheless.

Fold up the gorgeous silken sun,
BY bleeding martyrs blest,
And heap the laurels it has won
Above it's place of rest.
No trumpet note need harshly blare-
No drum funereal roll
Nor trailing sables drape the bier
That frees dauntless soul!
It lived with Leu, and decked his brow
From Fate's empyreal Palm:

AS spotless and as calm.

And they shall shuddering tell,

Flashed ruin as'it fell.
Sleep, shrouded Ensign not the breeze
That smote-the victor tar,
With death across the heaving seas
Of fiery Trafalgar;
Not Arthur's knights, amid the gloom
Their knightly deeds have starred;
Nor Gallo Henry's matchleSs plume,
Nor peerless born Bayard!
Not all that ancient fables feign,
And Orient dreams disgorge;
Nor yet, the Silver Cross of Spain,
And Lion of st. Georges.
Can bid thee pale! Proud emblem, still
Thy crimson glory shines
Beyond the lsngthened shades that fill
Their proudest kingly lines.

And be thy blazoned scroll:

OFF FOR TIE PROMISED LAND
We understand from reliable anthori.
ty that one day last week aboat fifty
negroes-men, women and children
passed up the Buncombe Road, on
their way, as they said, to the Prom
ised Land. 1t seems that these poor
creatures, who hailed from the South
ern portion of this County, had been
so deluded by negro preacher who
claimed to be inspired and commits
stoned to lead them to the F" Promis-
ed Land" that they hastily sold eve
rything that they had, including their
growing crops, and with their fami77
lies took up the line of march under
the leadership of this self,styled .9{
Moses, for the land flowing with milk
and honey. This new prophet told
them that the land of Canaan was
about l6o miles distant, but as far as
our informont goes, he failed to To-
cate it exactly. These Zion Trav-
elers," as they called themselves, will
travel a great ways, we fear. before
they find the Paradise epromised land.

DISTURBANCE AT FORT MILLs.-A
person from Fort Mills informs us
that great excitement was caused at
that place on Sunday and Monday,

GREENWOOD, Aug. 2, 1873.
At a meeting in the interest of
the Greenwood & Augusta Railroad,
held in the Waller Hall to-day, Gen.
P. H. Bradley, on being,called to the
Chair, fully explained the object Of
the meeting showing the present
condition and prospects of the Road
stating the amount of stock that
had been subscribed at Greenwood
and other points along the route, and
the amount that it was necessary to
secure the road. The Genel al then
exhibited profile Of survey, and
read the intelligent> report of Chief
Surveyor T. P. Ashmore, showing
route and length Of road, cost Of sur
vey, removing obstacles, grading,
tresselling, bridging, &c.
The General stated the position
and feeling. of Augusta to the Road,
and the liberal subscription that. she
would make as soon as she was salts
fed that. the people of Carolina were
in earnest and determined to sub
scribe according to their ability.
The General then referred to sew
eral parties of Capitalists that would
iron, equip and put the road in
thorough running order, as soon as it
was graded, or that would loan the
Stockholders money to complete it
on bonus of Three Hundred Thou
sand Dollars subscription.
The General explained the chances
Of the Great Chicago Air Line run
ming through Anderson, and making
a Junction with our Road at Dorm S
Mines.
At the conclusion Of this interest.
ing statement of the status Of the
Road, it was resolved to open the
Books, for increased subscriptions, to
the citizens of Greenwood, which was
promptly responded to by increasing
their stock to seven or eight times
the original amount. A sufficient
amount being subscribed to. grade the
road to some point near Midway.
twas also the sense Of the meeting
that.as soon as sufficient stock for
grading the road was subscribed, to
at once organize and begin the work.

Va WV -'N'
Mr.. EDlroE,-0wing to your late
description OF the important village
of Shatterfeld, in the .4clrcrtiscr, our
faith in the standard notion that edi-
tors know every thing, every place,
and. every body-politic, is sadly
shaken; but if you will allow us to
make some corrections in your some
what discrepant answer to F & F. we
will deliberate on your claim to
living, acting, encyclopaedia.
First, the Brick Yard has long
since been suspended, but there is
some hope of its early revival, as
capitalists are negotiating Tor it.
Second, the Shoe-Shop or Shops
are as numerous in ShatterGeld as
they are in the suburban villages Of
Boston, for every house has it's cord
wainer, a true representative Of
Crispin, and bootsand shoes always on
hand.
Third, the Shuck- Collar business
has been very active all this year, as
all the other Shebangs" in the
County were compelled to suspend
last winter for want OF shucks-
ShatterGeId being the orly place in
the County that could furnish shucks
enough to make 4 collar. Conse-
quently the demand for them has
been very great, particularly from
the vicinity of Edgefeld village.
But the proprietor of the shuek es-
tablishment, has changed his ma
chinery to work up the large surplus
of oat straw on hand, into hats and
bonnets for the million.
Now, Sir, besides the above-named
institutions, we have a large Steam
Saw Mill in successful operation,
turning out FIVE thousand feet lumber
per day. Also, twenty-five shingle
Knives, making twenty thousand
shingles per diem. There are several
Tanning Establishments; and some
