THE Argus man took into his head yester-
day that the figure business would look well
in rhyme, and so he sent for his Poet. The
instantaneous rhymer appeared, heard what
was wanted, and got off the following with
any effort at all: ''One and two make three.
This you see, Proves the radical profigacee,
Heydddle-dee, Me name is Pat McGee."
The Argus man warmly commended the poe
try, which he said was brimful of genius
and quite up to the high poetical standard of
the Argus, but he cautioned young Homer
in regard to the figures. "One and two may
make three in poetry" he said, ''but with
Democrats engaged in adding up items of
government expenditures one and two make
twelve; that is the invariable rule of this
Office" aud he sent the Poet of to learn
the Democratic method of addition.

The use of a "trade-mark" should be necessity
to every manufacturer who has faith in his ow1
wares. The first step towards making the manufac-
turer independent of the commission merchant
should be to make the name of the goods and ,he
trade mark by which they are distinguished wjdeiy
known to the consumer.

The State Grange.

After pleasant session in the city of
Columbia, adjourned on Friday night
last. From Mr.. B. r. Mangum, dele
gate from this County, we learn that the
meeting was highly successful and the
work accomplished important in char
acter. 1t was the best meeting since
the inauguration of the movement, and
gives proof that, unlike very many
other organizations which flourish but
for ;: season, the interest and zeal is
increasing, and the order grows stronger
with time. There were present two
hundred and eighty-six Masters with
their alternatcs, who were entitled to
vote, besides many others who were
not voters. There are three hundred
and twenty Oranges in the State. There
were visitors present from the most
distant parts Of our country, and among
the distinguished gentlemen who were
present and who made addresses was the
Hon. Wade Hampton. The following
officers were elected:
D.Wyatt Aiken, Master; j. A. Banks
dale, Overseer; j. n. Lipscomb, Lee
turcr; T. W. Holloway, Steward: J..
A. Mills, Asst Steward; Rev. J. A.
Sigh, Chaplain; A. N. Aiken, Treas
uer; W. Hood, Secretary, and r. S.
Beaden, Gate Keeper.

4 Suggestion or Two.

The Anderson InteiliGenecr. after
giving an account of the recent iirc at
that place, and the narrow escape tgum
very destructive conAagratirn: su@
gests that the Town Council Of -tm.
dcrson sought to provide 4 number of
ladders and have them placed at SOM"
convenient point on the square" \
very good suggestion, provided there
were no other houses to burn than
those near the square. 4 house might
burn down before ladder could be
carried halt mile even, that might
have been saved by one being more
convenient.
We see, by the way: very good
Ordinance, III point, recently published
By the Town Council Of Spartanburg,
which requires "every person living
in house in the town Of Spartanbure
to provide ladder of sufficient length,
or the means to reach the roqf Of tHc
same"
What say our own City Fathers Of
Laurens about adopting similar
Ordinance-only not quite 50 sweep
ing-leaving out the every person 2
Many ;'persons living in houses" iii
our town don'trequirc ladders to reach
the roof, as the means to reach the
same are already provided in their
convenient lGWntsS.
Iu sober seriousness so talks tie
Laurensviile Herald. What think
our city fathers? Ouly week or w"
ago the roof of ?. ". l. Z. S. Chick
store was thought to be on fire: and
had it been reality that building and
many others would have been destroyed
without peradventurc Of doubt. GA
this occasion a ladder was wanted.
At least twenty-five excited men flew
into spasms and cried for ladders.
Precious time elapsed, while the cry
for ladders rent the air. At length.
after slime enough had elapsed for the
fire; had it existed, to get beyond con-
troll, couple Of young men WHO were
rot affected with spasms brought the
desired article, then came two more
ladders. After their elevation, and
ascent was made, it was fortunately
discovered that there was more ladder
than fire. Seriously, though, that
occurrence was only adding another
proof Of the necessity ior some pre-
paration and organization to fight an
enemy which is all l-powerful to destroy
when once it gets the upper hand. Is
there any harm in once more saying
that the town Of Ncwbcrry should
have fire engine? We think lot.
Will some one come out in advocacy
Of it.

The legislature

Still continues to live and move and
have a being The many rccesses
from business contribute largely to
this end. The body seems impressed
with the idea that rest and recreation
are essential to their well being, and
that otherwise prolonged session
Weuld prove wearisome. Our legisla-
tors jump at anything which promises
rest, and the reported death of Judge
Townsend last week Was just the thing
the whole machine stopped, and
every man went on a bender. One
day the supply Of coal gives out, next
day it is something clse-but it ali
ends in recess. 1t is strange that
rest being so needed, they cannot see
that final adjournment would give
them all that is necessary, Yet they
drift along, day after day, week after
week, and accomplish very little
Very little benefit has yet resulted
from the long session. The election
Of Judge Shaw was good thing: as
also the reduction in some of the many
items of expenditures, and here and
there, like a green spot in great
desert, crops out something good. But
there is no use in holding on so long
and adding to the enormous amount
Of expenses against the State. The
Senate is said to be grave body, but
it sometimes has its fun, and the little
joke got of by Nash the other day
was not bad. A printing claim Of the
Kingstree Star was up for considera-
ton. and after favorable report on
the same by the Senator, be recon-
mended that the amount be paid out
of any moneys remaining in the treas
ury belonging to the contingent fund
Of Ex-Governor F. J. Moses. Hard

Judge Townsend.

Not often does it happen that man
is 50 fortunate as to find out how
highly he is estimated. His good
traits, best qualities and uoblcst Tir'
tues are not brought TO light until it
is too late, for not until he has shuffled
of the mortal is the best side of his
life and character made public. The
report Of Judge Townsend's death last
week revealed much that must be
pleasant 70 that gentleman; he knows
now the estimate in which he is held,
and the premature eulogiums will only
make Ills virtues shine more pre-cmi-
nently, aud give him greater strength
of purpose in the discharge Of his
duties. 1t is q great reli eff to his
many friends that he still lives and
has the prospect of being still further
useful. He has decided advantages
over his fellow-men, for he has had the
satisfaction Of reading his own obituary.

The resolutions appended, which
were adopted by the National Grange
at its recent session, gives evidence
in large degree that the differences
