Wheel Attachment for. PloVs.

Charles Adams, Of Odessa, Delaware, has
invented an Attachment for Plows which has
been thorough tested, and gives perfect salts
faction to all farmers who have seen il work.
1t consists Of an adjustable iron clamp or col
lar which can be attached to the beam of any
pow with which the amount of land to be
taken can be accurately gauged, to this clamp
is attached two adjustable wheels, one run
ming in the furrow and one on the land,
which gauges any depth of lfurrow desired.
The advantages Of this attachment are, that
it takes uniform amount of land and holds
the plow at fixed depth without being held
by the plowman, which saves large per
centage of draft, that it is cheap and within
the reach of all persons needing plows, that
it can be attached to any plow in few min
utes. These attachments are being manu-
factured by D. Woodall \ Co., at Middle
town, Del, and it will be to the interest of
the farming community to examine them.

Dear Sir: -

lcAN EvApoRAToR for curing all kinds of fruits,
berries and vegetables. This machine com
bines, by philosophical and practical ar
rangement, currents of heated air 10 the most
advantageous manner, altogether evading the

in the trays above while drying one, qthe
lower tray which heretofore has so impaired

By an entirely new plan, almost instantly
dries the cut surface, preventing oxidation,
thus securing the best color, retaining the
flavor, glucose or fruit sugar, inasmuch as the
cut surface is never subjected to the steam or
vapor thrown off by subsequently, inserted
trays. Our machine secures the best possible
and really the only scientific application of
dry heat to all the trays yet introduced in the
history of drying fruits. This fact is proved
by tie great capacity per square foot Of our.
evaporating surface. Machines in three sizes

Legislative Notes.

Both Houses adjourned on Thursday last, in
respect to the memory of Judge Green, and
eulogstic resolutions were adopted.
1t is again proposed to form new county
from portions of Edge6eld, Abbevile, Laurens
and Newberry, with the court house at Ninety
Six, but the measure is not likely to pass.
NIB. Myers member of the House from
Beaufort County, has rendered his resignation,
in order to enter the race for Senator, vacan-
cy occurring by the resignation of smalls, who
was elected to Congress. Samuel Green, anoth-
er member from Beaufort, is understood to have
the Senatorial fever, and will likely resign be-
fore the close of the session.
The bill to give the election of County Au-
ditors and County Treasurers to the people has
been defeated in the House of Representatives.
Heretofore, the Senate has stood in the way
of this measure, and prevented its passage on
several occasions. The Governor will continue
to appoint these officers, and aspirauts might
as we'll prepare their petitions for present and
prospective use, rs the case may be.
The Senate committee on the Judiciary, to
whom was referred the petition of Henry Gar
rison and Francis Garrison, of Anderson Coun-
sy, praying An act to change the names Of GER
tain children, and adopt them as their lawful
heirs reported bill with the following title {:
Bill to change the names of William George
Palmer and Francis Clcmentine Palmer to Will
liam George Garrison and Francis Clementine
Garrison, and make them the lawful heirs of
Henry Garrison.
An amendment to the State Constitution has
been proposed by Myers, of Beaufort, which
gives power to the Governor to veto special Sec
tions of an appropriation bill, without affecting
the destiny of the entire bill, as the law now
stands. The effect will be to divide the respon-
sibility for extraordinary and exorbitant appro-
priations between the legislative and executive
departments of the State, and hold the Cover
nor to stricter account for the expenses Of the
government. The proposed amendment is a
good one.
The House judiciary committee proposes to
amend the act dividing the State into five Con-
gressional Districts, by striking out Lexington
from the Second and adding it to the Third
District, which would constitute the counties Of
Charleston, Orangeburg and Clarendon into
the Second Congressional District, and the
counties of Richland, Lexington, Newberry
Abbeville, Laurcns, Anderson, Pickens and
Oconee into the Third Congressional District
This would make the territory contiguous, and
if we are obliged to retain Richland with the
mountain Democracy, the Interpolation of Lex
ington affords some solace for the grievous af
| Fiction.

Andrew Johnson.

Ex.President Andrew johnson has been
elected United States Senator from Tennessee,
to succeed the notorious Browniow, whose term
expires on the 4th of March. Although much
interest has been manifested in the recent elec-
tions of Senators throughout the country, the
climax was reached when it was announced
that the irrepressible Andy would return to
the scene of his former triumphs and labors.
It is generally agreed that the Ex-Presdent
will render it lively for his political opponents,
and especially for those Senators who partic-
pated in his impeachmenttrial, and endeavored
to disgrace and degrade him before the Ameri-
can people. His abilities and reputation make
it certain that his entrance once again into the
political arena will be closely watched by all
parties He was; elected by combination of
Democrats. and Republican, but he claims to
be Democrat. o.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Fire.

A disastrous fire occurred in the growing
town of Sumter on Wednesday night, 9th ult.,
involving loss of $4,000 worth of property.
The progress Of the fire was arrested by the
activity and vigilance of the fire companies
and the main business portion of the town was
rescued from the devouring flames. Almost
every town in South Carolina has experienced
a similar disaster since the war, and in several
instances the calamity has been repeated.
Anderson has been exceedingly fortunate in
this regard and has escaped without any wide
spread disaster. But it is alarming to think
that such calamity as visited Sumter, Orange
br-e and ether towns would meet with no Or
g:uized resistance in this town, since we are
absolutely without protection in this regard.

SALEDA Y.

Saleday passed off quietly and pleasantly,
Notwithstanding the large number Oh persons
of all classes who were present in town. Only
two sales of real estate took place, and these
were sold Mt unusually low rates. One tract,
comprising 157 acres, sold for the small sum of
s2O5, and the other of go acres, brought only
$40, on account of deficiency of titles. The
town was considerably enliyened by auction
sales, at which clothing and kitchen utensils
sold cheap. The chief attraction during the
day was horse-swapping, and noticeable fea-
ture of this occasion was the absence of any
into xication.

and honest citizen, Gen. F. N. Garvin, which
occurred at his residence in Pickens County
on Friday night, 22nd ult, in the 7Srd year of
his age. Gen. Garvin was one of the promi-
nent men of better days, and represented
Pickens District in the Senate and House OF
Representatives before the war, and likewise
served as Sheriff for one term. He was gen.
erous, high-toned and honorable in every rela-
tion of life, and was answering in devotion
to principle, always true as steel in whatever
he thought was right. South Carolina has lost
devoted and faithful citizen whose place is
not easily supplied

JUDGE REED-The Orangeburg Times
(Democratic) makes the following compliment
tory.allnsion to our former townsman:
Judge Reed, the newly elected judge of this
circuit, made his first appearance here in
public capacity since his celebrated Democrat
ic speech in 1868. Although his head is some
what whitened by time, we recognize him still
as "the little man from the mountains" that he
begged his hearers to remember-and they do
remember He made at that time an excel
lent Democratic speech, which we trust will
not now prevent his making good judge.
His charge to the grand jury was highly COM
mended for its fulness, its earnestness and ap
parent sincerity, and creates the hope that he
will endeavor to bring the guilty to justice:
He presdes with more than usual dignity; and
in acutcness of perception and quickness in de-
Gliding intricate points of law, he is doubtless
the equal of Judge Carpenter.
