FAEMER-The complaint made by

negroes justly calls for some redress.
We hoped that no, such rascality had

vented By his being awakened by one

which had already burned through the
piazza into the house, Had lie not
been aroused just then the house would
assuredly have been destroyed TO the
danger of the sleeping inmates. 1t

natelv no clue has been discovered rs to
the perpetrator.

Saturday, complaining Of a slight chill,
which rapidly developed into general
congestion, and on Monday morning
about four o'clock death ensued, and 4
young sweet life, full Of promise Was
ended. Our community issa,ldened by
this sudden dispensation of providence.

! DEATHs.-With feelings of poignant
sorrow We record the death of highly
re-; ,ec:ed and useful citizen-Mr. Isaac
/ Herbert. 1'hiS sud event occurred on
Wednesday morning last about three
o'clock. he had been in feeble health
TO. sorne time, and, unwisely we think,
attended the late Conference of the
NJ. E. Church, at Greenville, in Decem-
Der last. and there we understand con-
tractcd a cold from which he never re-
covered In the death of this good man,
so universally respected and beloved,
the County Of Newberry, and the church
70 which he was so closely identified,
have sustained a severe atfiiction. In
al the various relations of life his course
was always upright, and his example
such as could be ever commended. A
large and happy family are stricken
down by this blow, and a wide extend
ed circle of friends sorrow at his death.
He will be sadly missed, and by none
more than the Church of which he was
p strong pillar.
We regret, also. to learn Of the sud
den death of Mr.. JAS. A. Welch, at
Pomaria, which occurred ut his resi-
dcnce Ga Thursday last. He was the
oldest son, we believe, Of the late WINS.
Welch, and was about - years Of age.

Profanity in the Pulpit.

If our readers and the clergy will par.
don us, we will ask leave to call the at
tention Of the clergy to what seems tc
be a WANG ssle- --seye ercnee On theil
nlsa4s anja lack of the proper regard for
the teachings of the Third Command.
ment. We make no personal allusion
to any one, but throw out theshint with
the hope, if we are in the right, Of do.
ing some good, but if we are in the
wrong, craving indulgence for presum,
&ng to speak on the subject. We refer
Ito the very frequent use which some
ministers make of the name of Him
who made us, and to the practice Of
using strong expressions, such as, Hell
bent and damnation bound," and other
kindred remarks, which cannot but
crate upon the ears of polite people, and
= especially must it be shocking to those
who are more piously inclined. IT a
S>pinister, for instance, has occasion to
sspeaiN-or the earth, why can he not do
so just like anybody else? Where Is
s the necessity of his saying God Al
mighty's earth?" Such expressions we
regard as absolutely profane, and a.
never pleasing tC refined ears. In our
opinion the minister who INDUCES IN
such language should be brought before
the proper church tribunal fer MS Oh
fence, and If he show not signs OF re-
pentance, he should be suspended or en-
communicated entirely from the church.
we have also noticed tho more sancti-
fed church-members occasionally to
some extent following the example OF
the minister, and taking improper lib.
critics in this particular. We are taught
that the creature should never take the
name of the Creator OH his lips except
In revential awe, and no where within
the lids of the Bible do we find eXcep-
tions to this rule in favor of Elders or
Ministers.

Situation of Farmers and the Impor
tance of the 0at Crop.
Editor Press and Banner:

Editor Press and Banner:
Never in the history Of our country
have our farmers as whole been as poor
as they are to-day; and they are getting
poorer year after year, and unless some
thing is done to stop their onward CO.
recr to poverty, they will soon be unable
to cultivate their land. Why have we
become gradually poorer and poorer since
the war? We think it is due to what
might be termed special farming, the
devotion of all our energies and means
to the production of cotton, neglecting
all other crops. We have continued
year after year the foolish policy of car
rying oil our eggs in one basket, not
withstanding our experience suggested
a division. The result of the present
system is this: in the Spring and Sum-
mer months we have no money in cir
culation; it has all gone hundreds of
miles to buy supplies that should be
produced at our own doors. AS long as
king cotton continues to reign with ab-
solute sway, there willalways be dearth
of money in the Spring and Summer.
If we would have plenty of money for
all ordinary purposes, for money crop
our feecy king cannot be surpassed; and
for q crop to save money, we do not
think the oat crop can be surpassed i;
and from what we can learn, large
number of our class have come to this
conclusion. The oat makes an admira-
BILE substitute for Western corn, and our
experience is that stock thrive better on
oats than on any other grain. An acre
Of land will produce as many again
bushels of oats as corn, and oats are
much cheaper toproduce than corn, and
if sown at the proper time they are a
much surer crop. If oats are sown at
the proper time, on good soil, the yield
is sometimes remarkable. The present
season, Captain Jno. Wilkerson, oil
White Hall, gathered from twenty-five
acre field eleven hundred bushels. The
profit from this twenty-five acre field
was not less than one thousand dollars.
This field was sown about this time last
year. Capt. Wilkerson Gays that the
best time to sow is from the 10th of Sep
tember to the 10th of October, aud he is
supported in this opinion by the best
oat ralsers in the South. When sown
during this period the get strong enough
to resist the winter freezes, and they
some in ahead of the Spring drought
Let every Granger in our old banner
County sow at least four acres to the
plough, SOW them this month, and see
if we can't save some of cotton money
at home. Try it, You farmers who buy
! Western corn on credit, at all advance

to two hundred per cent. Better late
