1t is needless to say We caught it. 1t

weary and sobby with rain and mud

the flood subsided, and then with dis

of. Well, the shower ended and again
we started, this time down hill, crossed
the raging, swollen branch and man
fully struck out up the big red clay
road, which in few moments would
lead us to rest and the society of good.
friends. The sun by this time had gone
down behind the hill, and visions Of a
cheerfully lighted room, pleasant faces
and supper table filled our heart to over
flowing. Heavy clods of sticky, clay
stuck to our weary feet, but We tramped
on, the end was near. With head
down, shoulders thrown forward, and
mouth closed to save breath-for it was
almost gone-we continued undaunted
till a voice was heard breaking the
solemn silence Of the twilight air,
"Why, boss, you los?" Fancy our feel

that we had got back to the place so
lately left. 1t was a terrible disap-
pointment. We will not weary you,
however, with any more of the dolorous
experience, suffice it that with the help
of the darkey, whose voice dispelled
the bright illusion Of the moment be-
fore, we were conveyed safely to the
objective point and met the friends so
anxiously and so wearily look for, and
received the refreshing coffee and rest,
together with smiles enough to revive
our dropping spirits. That is the way
we got to Chicks.

Propasators of Disease.

The Pail Nall Gazette says: !:
"Among the many agents for the
spread of infectious diseases are, it
seems, our domestic pets. For the
propagation of fever dog is some
times as bad, if not worse, than a
drain, and case is referred to in the
Sanitary Record, 10 which scarlet
fever was carried from one child to
another by ,favorite retriever. The
dog had been reared in house where
5scsrlatina prevailed, and was subse-
quently given to friend Of the family.
Shortly after one Of the children in
the dogs new home was attacked with
malignant scarlatina and died. Dis
infectauts were used plentifully, and
every precaution taken to prevent
recurrence Of the malady, but in two
months time second child took the
same disease, in its worst form, and
died. AS the dog had been the con-
slant companion and playfellow of
these children, its woolly coat, it is
alleged, became so charged with con-
tagious matter as to render it source
of disease and death. Although it is
fair to the dog to admit that the chill
dren may have caught the fever from
ether sources than his woolly coat, yet
there is reason to fear that both dogs
and cats, especially the latter, do occa-
sionally assist in the circulation of
infectious illness, and where fever pre-
walls the sooner they are lodged out
of the house the better. They are,
however, probably not more danger
Gus in this respect than books. No
one who takes up book from library
ever troubles himself or herself as to
the autecedents Of the volume it may
have just left the hands Of fever

Fork, August 18th, 1875.


DEAR HERALD:-Sure enough the
dry weather has come in some places
and with it 10 little grumbling, but
the Fork has surely been blessed. We
have not been without rain longer
than week at any time since crops
were planted. Thursday we had a
good rain. Young corn and peas
are doing we'll. We have have had
rain four Mondays in succession. You
can tell Forker by the wear Of his
hat, turned up at the side-old adage,
"corn to SELL" We will make good cot
ton crops-the best for years. Unfor-
tunately, we are hemmed by rivers on
all sides, and there is no way to get
out. Where are the Commissioners of
Roads? You have got your mudho!e
fixed, try our bridge awhile. The
first of November is fast approaching
that awful day-when the liens will
have to be redeemed.
P. S.-The colored people of the
Fork had a barbecue and picnic at
Maybinton on last Saturday-anniver-
sary of the Benevolent Society. 1t
was attended by the colored band from
your town. Great praise is due Bart
Sims, Abram Lyles, Abram Sims and
othersfor their gentlemanly department
on the occasion. The table showed
that the colored people had a cor

Mr.. EDITOR THE next State Fair
be will held at Columbia as usual,
commencing on Tuesday, the 9th OF
November, and continuing for four days;
and in order to meet the views of our
people interested in the cause Of Agri-
culture, the Directors Of the Auxiliary
Joint Stock Company, at a meeting
held 29th April last, adopted the follow
ing preamble and resolution:
"WHEREAs, there appears to be SEN
timent among certain of the influential
patrons of the annual exhibitions Of our
society opposed to horse racing as re-
pugnant to their ideas Of propriety; and
whereas, the Directors are desirous Of
reconciling all the elements Of success
in connection Herewith,
ResoZved, That henceforth there shall
be no racing conducted under the aus
pices of our association in connection
with our annual fairs, and that no pre-
miums be offered for the same"
Thus it will be seen that the Direc-
tors intend to carry out plan that can
not fail to meet the entire approval OF
our citizens.
The premium list of the last Fair has
been adopted for the next Fair, with
the exception of the speed premiums
and instead thereof the following liberal
inducements to farmers and to County
Agricultural Societies:
A premium of three hundred dollars
is offered to the county that makes the
largest and best exhibition of its pro-
ducts, including stock, mechanical I'M
plements, field crops and handiwork.
A premium of 5000 is offered for the
second such exhibition.
A premium Of 500 for the third
best.
The above is certainly encouraging
to our farmers, artisans and our worthy
matrons, and should induce our citizens
to be preparing for the various induce
ments offered, and we beg therefore
that our good people commence at once
to be ready to compete successfully
with other sister counties, who hitherto
have left US in the background.
At one time Newberry boasted Of
having the most fourishing agricul-
tural society in the State, but for some
cause her society has gone down, her
sons and daughters have lost the inter-
est their fathers and mothers manifested
in great work.
The Order Of the Patrons of Hus-
bandry is emphatically agricultural,
then why should not its members be
sufficiently interested in agricultural
exhibitions to compete successfully for
the liberal premiums offered? Let US
try at the next annual Fair. S.

FOuling OF Wells.

The most insidious process is that
of the gradual fouling of the semi
porous earth lying between the source
of the impurity and the drinking water
well. In such cases the exuda,ion is
usually quite Or nearly constant
there is no opportunity for the air to
restore the titering power of the soil,
and it becomes saturated with impuri-
ty inch by inch, until, perhaps after a
month or perhaps after several years,
the saturation reaches the well then
every drop oozing in from this source
carries with it it's atom Of filth. While
the supply of water in the ground is
copious, and while there is more OF
less circulation through the water
veins, the foulness may be too much
diluted to do harm but in dry sea-
sons, when the supply recedes to a
depth of only few feet at the bottom
of the well, the contribution of drain
water continuing the same, the dose
becomes sufficient to produce its
poisonous effect.
The dangerous character Of the
water of such wells is often manifest
ed by no odor or taste of organic
matter the chemical changes in this
matter seem to have been carried so
tar as to yield little more than vivify
ing nitrates to the water, their organic
character having entirely disappeared.
Indeed, some of the most dangerous
well-waters are especially sparkling
and refreshing to the taste. But the
chemical processes which have effect
ed this change appear to have had no
effect on the germs of disease
germs they be-which retain their in.
furious character to such degree that
the worst results have often come OF
the use of water that was especial y
sparkling and pleasant as beverage.
