the Piney woods region Of Prosperity.

CLINTON AND THE RAIL Road
Clinton has been very severely and
uniustly charged with negligence in
paying its subscription to the Laurens
Railroad, while the truth is, that none
of the subscribers have paid Us prompt
ly and fully as the Clinton subscribers.
The entire list of subscriptions obtair-
ed in Clinton is not only paid up aud
all FOUR INsTALLMENTs PAID IN FULL,
but three-fourths of the subscriptions
were paid two months ago. They
have promptly, fully and squarely met
the issue.
It is true that there are subscribers
still behind, VINO live in Laurens or in
Ne|3erry Counties, but these are not
Clinton subscribers, except that the
paper or which, subscriptions were OBJ
tanned at this place was afterward Of
fered to them. If any of them are
negligent, it certainly is not the fault
Of the town of Clinton. We assert it
without fear of successful contradic-
tion, that no part Of the line of road
has paid up as fully as the town Of
Clinton, and what is more, our monied
men are ALL represented on the sub
scription list.-Our Monthly.

of two-line cad" in daily paper.
Through lucky stroke Of stupidity,
the clerk left the ''ad' and the Sl00
at the newspaper Office, and said that
it was to be inserted to that extent.
Imagine the frugal seeduau's horror
on finding that the money which was
to have carried him through several
weeks had all been spent in one ad-
vertisenent. For the length of two
columns the morning paper repeated
the lines, "The american Agrlcultur-
ist out to-day" The consequence
was that the edition was exhausted
early, and the subscriptions came
pouring IN. From that day MIR. Judd
and his paper became established cue
cesses, and now he owDs stylish
team and about balf of Flushing, they
say.
A similar clerical blunder occurred
at Scribner's, the other day. An ad-
vertisement of four lines was sent out
to one hundred newspapers, With in
structions 10 spread it over "eight
lines," it should have read, but the
clerk wrote it eight inches, and the
consequence was startling. The arti-
Gle advertised was the Baltimore Bona
parties, and the different printing Of
fees have taxed their ingenuity and
type fonts to spread so few words over
so large space. The result was not
unlike that of Mr.. Judd's blunder, for
the orders poured in at such a rate
for the May number of Scrbner's,
that a new edition had to be printed.

"Prof. Charles Y. Riley, State En-.

"Prof. Charles V. Riley, State En-
tomologist of Missouri, has been tell
ing the Science Convention at Detroit,
of his experience in eating grasshop-
pers. He says that the favor is agree
able. Fried or roasted in their own
oil, they have "a pleasant, nutty taste. ,
Broiled or stewed, they are 'admira-
ble.' At the hotel, where he expert
mented, many of the guests ate the
messes which he prepared, and were
quite fond of the soups, fricasses and
fritters mainly composed of grasshop-
pers. Prof: Riley describes the use
of lccusts as food by various people in
all ages. In Morocco they are roasted
and sold extensively in the market
places in Southern Russia they are
commonly eaten; scme of the African
tribes subsist to a great extent upon
them; and they are utilized by Ameri-
can Indians. The part of his argu-
meut meant to be Of practical value is
that if the Western farmers would eat
the grasshoppers the grasshoppers
couldn't eat the crops"

EoR THE HERALD,

MR. EDITOR: You and many others
no doubt have heard of old Dutch Fork.
No wonder we all recollect it so well,
sspeeSally those who are as fond of the
good things of life as you and myself.
For it is there the hungry and weary
soul may not only ''knock" and ask for
bread, but enter to satisfy their craving
appetite at tables set with such variety
that there is scarcely room for another
dish. Then it makes one who is not
used to quarrelling feel envious to hear
those good and generous-hearted ''old
Dutch women" as they are termed, 60
around the table grumbling because
they havnt anything for you to eat.
One who never travelled through that
section of "peace and plenty'' would
hardly by journeying through, realize
the pleasure derived from a single
nights entertainment by these kind
hearted Samaritans.
Dutch Fork is fresh in the memory OF
many. And well it may be. Not be-
cause of its being such beautiful Sec
ton, and having sumptuous edifces,
and magnificent rural surroundings,
nor the vast wealth of the inhabitants,
but on account of the civility and gen
erosity of the people. Now the ques-
ton arises. why are they doing so we'll,
unaccompanied by wealth and the ad-
vantages of superior soil? 1t is simple
proposition, which demonstrates itself.
They use very little free labor. The
men don't sit in the house, and strut
about with their shoes shining, hair
parted in the middle. and without
knowledge Of the way to mill; nor do
the young ladies Try to see who can pin
their dresses the tightest, pile their hair
the highest on their heads, in blissful
ignorance of the path leading to the
cow pen. All work in some way or
other, and it is TINS that our Dutch
Forkers live so independently. Any one
travelling in that portion of the State,
from the appearance Of some OF the
dwellings, would at once say, this must
be the backwoods of South Carolina,
if it were not for the fine orchards OF
delicious apples, peaches and pears; the
voluptuous patches Of wa.ermelons,
pindsrs and potatoes; and the number
of creditable looking horses, swine, cat
tie and poultry. For common sense
has taught them that the man who
does not use the easy mode that is in
his power at home, for the sustenance
Of his family, but leaves it in the hands
of others, is like the brute, which takes
food as others offer it to him. We do
not censure our Dutch Fork brethren
for their honeliness and independent
mode of living, but hope that some
ether and all sections of this and other
countries may initiate their good ex-
ample. ... =. OMEGA.

back on the other side before he could

NEwBERRY, S. c.. Sept. s. rs.
EDITOR NEwBERRY HERALD: Hav-
ing travelled through Laurens County,
and knowing that you would Ike to
hear something of what is going on, ]
will trouble yqn with a communication.
7 I have been much pleased with Lau-
rens County. I found at the Court
House gentlemen who had, notwhh-
standing the scarcity ofmoney, done a
large business, aneng them was Mccoy
& Simpson. These gentlemen have
decidedly enc Of the neatest Drug Stores
/ have ever seen. The "Mountain
City" can take lessons and be improved
thereby. They are doing a fine busi-
ness, and DR.. Mccoy has one of the
most extensive practices in the upper
Counties. He is always on the go, and
treats his cases successfully. -
The crops are poor. I saw but few
farmers who thought they would make
a half crop.
The merchants Of Laurens are much
elated at thei idea of having a Rail Road,
and the completion of theroad to Mar
tins Depot, guarantees to them that the
road will reach Laurens. .
The drought has so affected the crop
in Newbery, that I am not surprised
at the farmers wearing long faces. A
late Fall will do away With much OF
their trouble. p.
Notwithstanding the drought and the
dullness Of the season, Judge Pool, the
popular proprietor of the Newberry
Hotel, does much to make ones stay
pleasant in your city. Three days spent
with him is sufficient to create desire
to return again.
Hurried and tired will stop. You
may expect me ''au reyoir."

The Augusta Constituencies, ia
a letter from Barnwen, August 26,
says that rumors are rife Of an in-
tended insurrection on the part of the
negroes Of that county, who are ex-
pecting large quantity of arms and
ammunition from an unknown source.
In corroboratiou, it is rumored that
300 guns and 5000 rounds Of am
manition are now in the depot of
Blackville. What they want to rlse
for is beyond conception, as they have
things pretty much their own now,
and can hardly better themselves.
This is another good chance for Coy
ernor Chamberlain, and he should lose
no time either.

age, and goes fishing for its meals.
It will stand in water up to its thighs
