Be9- \ Board of Honor settled difficulty
that was getting very serious between J. ID. Me-
Lucas, Editor Of the Merchant and Farmer, and
W. J. McKcrrall, Editor Of the Sar-both pa
pers published at MariplC. II.
We have often thought. if it was necessary to
have two papers in one County town they should
be Edited by one man. BY that arrangement
the Editor could abuse either paper to his hearts
content and to the satisfaction of the most quar-
resome Of his subscribers, without endangerng
his corporeal safety.
Couldn't we raise excitement in Union
under such an arrangement? Wouldn't we get
the two papers so near to fighting that no Board
of Honor could prevent clash of arms? And
then wouldn't we divide the town on the merits
of the two papers. Wouldn't it be fun to get
into one crowd and hear them extol the abusive
powers Of the Editor of the "I'cace Maker, and
then to hear another praise the finely drawn
and elegantly writtensinsults Of the Editor of
the Battle-are. We just think we could get up
about twenty fights week among the people
and keep clear of danger ourself 1t would be
glorious all round.
man may acknowledge himself to be liar
ascoundrel, coward or anything else not con.
sidered polite In genteel society, but he would
not aHcx sny one else 10 tell him of it without
fight or a foot race--and one is about rs bad
as the other this swcltering weather.

A Severe Storm.

The Spring and Summer of this year will be
long remembered for the frequency and severity
of storms all over the country-in fact, nearly
all over the world. Nearly every week the
Times has chronicled one or more severe storms
in this County and republishcd accounts of sim
liar visitations in other sections.
MIR. &. Il. Long sends US an account of sc.
we're storm of wind, rain and hail. which visited
his plantation and neighborhood on Monday of
last week. lie says the wind was 30 terrific
that it blew down all the shade trees around his
house, except three, which were sheltered by
the corner of the dwelling. 1t unroofcd four
houses, while his dwelling rocked to and fro SO
perceptibly that he expected momcntarily to see
it demolished In this situation, with the trees
falling around, it appeared as dangerous the
outside rs within the house. His spring and
the road to it were completely blockadcd by
fallen trees of all sizes, and it required nearly
two days Of hard work to clear them out The
hail was light at his plantation, but it entirely
destroyed two acres of cotton belonging to n
ncighbor short distance from him.

For the Time.


agricultural condition of the Southern States is
worse than it was at the. close Of the war. The
farm buildings are in more dilapidated condi-
tion, the fences in n worse state of repair, and
the soil more injudiciously cultivated than un-
der the old system. Labor is scarcer and more
unreliable; millions Of acres have been turned
into Common less attention is paid to the COM
posting of domestic fertilizers while millions
are annually paid out for Guanos, Phosphates,
Cotton food and all manner of fancy fertilizers.
We raise fewer horses and mules, yet send
thousandsof dollars every year West, for fa.-
sheep: We gF0Y1sss mEe food En.:e, :e,;ala;isa u
rcarc Of wha, wesdo grH&1 our c0tton. We are
less-,-hrom The beginning Of the year to the
end of it. We work hard, give liens
supplies, live high on Western bacon, corn, and
flour buy gew-gaws, jmcracks and fneries
from the merchants at long profits drink
whiskcy at ten dollars gallon, pay high taxes,
and when we close up at the end Of the year
without a cent in our pockets, curse the hard
times, and say that the farmer is the worse i'm
posed upon man in the world. Now, who is to
blame for this state of things? We have no
right to complain of the merchants demanding
to pay cash for all we buy the merchant could
afford to sell at lower profits and it would be
all the better for us and him. The "credit sys-
tenn is and ever will be one of the greatest OBJ
stacles in the way of agricultural improvement.
One of the most difficult lessons for the South
ern people to learn is 10 save what they make.
This is the outgrowth of the credit system,
which has always prevailed in planting COM
munity, where the proceeds of the years labor
always came in bulk not in small amounts, like
it does where people practice diversified in
dustry. We have not learned the useful lesson,
"take care Of the dimes and the dollars will
take care of themselves" We have not realized
the fact that the plantation system is thing Of
the past. We have not realized the fact that we
are poor people, and that the road to prosper
ity will never open before us, until we practice
the true principles Of economy,-not to spend
our money before We make it. 1t is an old say
ing, that "any fool can make money, but he is q
wise man who can save IT,. "I have found the
Philosophers stone," said Mr.. Randolph--"It
is pay as you CO." 1t should be the motto in
scribed upon every farmers banner; it points
out the only road which leads to thrift and in
dependence. "PAY AS YOU CO..

THUNDER AND LIGHTSING.-We hear of an un-
usual number Of accidents-unless lightning hits
accidentally on purpose-resulting from thun-
der storms and strokes Of lightning. Within
the last week, Maj. Kirby, has had horse,
Capt Trimmer n cow, and Rev. James Smith
COW killed, and several trees have been rent by
the lightning, all within the incorporate limits
We hear that three cows were killed down at
Mai Stroblc's, and Mr.. David Holcomb, while
riding mule, near Cross Anchor, had the mule
killed dead under him, while he was thrown
some twenty feet and arose unhurt, or ut least
able to get away from that place in hurry

may not, like them, smile with chdike bland
ness at the frauds they have been accessory to,

What we complain of most is the Asty--wc

Governor Chamberlain, by some Of Tho papers
in the State. while they earnest and persist
ent in their demands for thc arrest and convic-
ton Of every other official who acted With him
when the frauds were committed. 81 Let AS de-
mand of him also to clear up, as far aslhe can,
the mystery which shrouds his former course.
If he does that even makes an honest and
bold effort to. defend himself no man will be
more willing than We to try and forget the past;
but until we have more reason for recalling the
accusations made against him before he was
elected Governor, we are not ready 10 say tha,
those accusations were false and unfoundei.--
We endorse his course toward the State, as Gov
but we object to his course toward many Of the
Counties. for we think it shows e2nelusively y
that the reform he processes to give is in
tended more to affect the minds of ousiders than
tc restore, practically, an honest and acceptable
government to the people of the State. In the
