the House Of Delegates. Hon. A. H. IT.
Stuart made motion to recommit the bill
to increase and rearrange the circuits in
the State, with instructions to report bill
providing for restoration to the County.
Courts of all counties which contain a
population exceeding 10000 of the juris-
diction which they had before August 1,
1873, and making proper provision for
adequate salaries to such judges, to be
paid by their respective counties. He
afterwards withdrew his motion to allow
Mr.. Neeley of Accomac to move an amend
ment with regard to the Eastern Shore
circuit. But Mr.. Stuart's motion is not
all we want. The whole State needs the
old system restored. 1t doesn't cost as
much, and they want it. Why shouldn't
they have it?

Organization.

The Abbeville Medium says: Some
policy shonld be adopted by the Con.
servative people of South Carolina to
redeem the State from Radical rule
and place her upon a secure founda-
tion. With this one single exception
the Southern States have renewed
their allegiance to the Democratic
party, renounced Radical ism and are
now marching on to grand and
glorious destiny. In tbis State we
are still subject to the treachery and
stratagem of cruel political combina
tions, and although the power of the
rings is weakened we are still under
their baleful and corrupt influence.
1t is believed that party organization
among the Conservatives will effectu
ally save the State from longer con
tinuance of Radical rule and some
decided action should at once be tax
en- towards this end. 1t might be
well to call convention to meet in
Columbia during the approaching
session of the Legislature to frame a
platform and adopt such measures as
will call out the full strength of the
Conservative vote in 1876. Organi-
zation is the word. With it we may
accomplish something, without it we
can do nothing and will lose the
State forever.

The Fence Law.

Tho Abbcvillo Press and Banner
thinks tho fonco law of the utmost inn
portanco to tho entire State The
question resolves itself simply into
one of economy. In the lowor and
middle portions OF the State whore
timber is scarce, it is obvious that
law compelling tho enclosure of stock
would be a great benefit, especially to
the poor man. The rich man will
generally take care of himself, and is
able to do 30. Without fenoe law
all the virgin forest and oven that
which is not virgin, will soon have
been cut down. It will soon become
necessity within our State; for our
timbcred lands arc fast disappearing
in order to keep up fenoes. Shall wo
wait till necessity drives us to the
fonco law? Would not common pru-
dence dictate that the sooner the
stock be enclosed tho bottor. In
Pickens thoro does notsat present OK
lst the samo necessity for such law
as in other portions of tho State, yot
wo think she, too, would be eventual
ly greatly benefited in many ways.
We arc aware that n great doal can
be and is said, in opposition. Every
important question tending to tho
amolioration of mankind has over met
with bittcr opposition. Morso's tolo-
graphic scheme had its violent OPP
poscrs; Fulton had his, and Columbus
his. Nevertheless right prevailed
finally. On this subject of fence
law, if all tho arguments for and
against be carefully and dispassion~
ately weighed in tho balances of ovory
clear and unprejudicod mind, the do,
cision will bo favorable to q fenco
law. The Bannor says:
"The poor man who is unable to
buy timbor to make rails to protect
his crop is absolutely at tho mercy Of
his neighbors' cattle. The rich farm
ors who have largo landed estates can
generally protect their crop, but tho
poor man with q small track finds it
impossible to build fences. AS the
law now stands it discriminatos a.
gainst the poor. Thousands of acres
Of land in Abbevillo county now lie
idle and non productive for the want
OF timber to guard tho crop against
tho depreciation of stock. The poor
of this county should demand that
thoir rich noighbors be responsible for
the crops which Lheir stock destroy
Nothing paraIyzcs the energy and
spirits Of tho farmer more than TO
have his crops destroyed by droves Of
hungry cattle. Many freedmen of
this county who have rented lands
and plowcd and hood in tho sunshine
and rain havo seen their crops do.
stroycd for want of fences."

Wheat.

Now is tho time to SOW wheat, if
enough has not already been soon.
Earlier would have been botter, but
sew now. 1t is better now than not
at all. Let every farmer in Pickcns
County feel it to be q moral obligation
devolving upon him to SOW every bush
Q! of wheat he can. We have tried cot>
ton alono almost to nauseation and
the County gets poorer and poorer;
and it will continue to get worse, un,
loss our agricultural policy be changed
BY the present system of producing
cotton to tho exclusion of the cereals,
we arc only building up and making
richer at our own individual expense
those who hold tho money-tho mer-
chants. Let every farmer in tho
County try (and wo know, if he try
he will succeed) to mako enough of
wheat for his own individual con
sumption. Do not depend upon the
Northwest to supply your flour and
meat. Ihore is no necessity for it
mono whatever. Produce corn, wheat,
and other grains, and consequently
meat sufficient to moot all your wants
in that direction. Then, wo would
say, after you havo done this, make
all the cotton possible. Husband your
lands-make them richer with home~
made fertilizers; work less acreage,
thereby curtailing the expense of pro,
dpction, and greater yield you may
then reasonably expect. An increased
prosperity will then begin to dawn
upon the farming interest of Pckcns
County, and not only upon the farms
ing interest of tho County, but upon
all material interest of the same. We
think this is tho true philosophy of
farming in this County, at least.
