A CARD.

MEALS CREEK, S. c., Aug. 1G, 1876.
MEssRs EDITORS ask the use of a few
lines in your valuable paper to express the
convictions of white man who has been
affiliated with the Republican party for
number of years. When Joined the party
l was no aspirant for office, am now no as
pirant, nor ever have been. and the only
motive I had in quitting the Democracy was
what mistakenly believed to be the inter-
est of the country. 1t is useless for me to
state my reasons in detail; it sufices that
all my sanguinc hopes have. been disap-
pointed; that in its incipicncy the leading
members of the party were corrupt; that
when their power over the State was .f1ctl,
this corruption alarmingly increased, and
now that doubt of their continued lease
of power exists in the minds of these adj
venturers, no measure is too infamous for
them to adopt to facilitate their purposes,
even to the disruption of u peaceablc gov
crnment. The Democracy have pctitioned,
and their petitions have been scorned; they
llttNC DSoOuShpf ViiSii liog SiS ilcNS pSSh
laughed at; the Federal ear has been deaf
to all our supplications, and horde of
scoundrels placed in positions once adorned
by Calhoun, Cheves and McDutfie.
Then, why should white men hesitate to as
sert their freedom? "Is life SO dear or peace
so sweet as to be purchased at the price of
chains and slavery? Forbid it God" There
was a time to compromise, and it was cheer
fully offered by the whites; it was indig-
nantly rejected; the blacks even in this
County, where they are in the minority,
refused to vote for one of their own color
simply because he was supported by the
whites. The time of compromise is, there
fore, past; the Anglo-SaXon must assert his
liberty, and have the spirit to maintain it.
The crisis is upon us. "Hc that doubts is
fool, and he that halts is damned"
Respectfully,
JAMES A. MAJOR.

LABOR REFORM.

BELroN, S. c., August II, 1876
MEssRs. EDITORS: You have certainly COIL
ferred favor upon your readers by publish
ing in the last issue of your paper the very
able and pointed letter of Rev. A. w. Moore,
upon the aims and purposes of the Labor
Reform Associations. Perhaps you would
have conferred further favor if you had
published the constitution of the Association
at Hodges The aims, objects and hoped-for
results of such Associations, unqualifiedly
endorse, and trust that vigorous effort will
be made in this year of action to establish
such an Association in every township in
our County. Honea Path has taken the
lead, and nobly led off with an Association
of scventy-fvc members. Will not the
other townships organize at once, thorough
ly and effectively? 1t is useless for one or
two townships to organize without the CO.
operation of the others. 1 was unprepared
to believe that such satisfactory results could
be attained by these Associations, until as
sured by gentlemen who are familiar with
their workings. If they were necessity in
Laurens County, and have done so much
good there, are they not needed in Ander-
son? Have our farmers suffered no loss by
unreliable, inefficient labor? Are they not
ready to adopt any plan of action that prom
Uses to magnify efficiency and productive
ness in all labor?" Did any of your readers
hastily scan Mr.. Moore's letter, and dismiss
it without thought? or did any of them fail
to read it? If so, let me beg them to take
up your paper again and read it carefully,
and then think the subject over with de-
Liberation commensurate with the impor-
lance of the interests involved, and then
candidly say, first, if labor reform is not im-
peratively demanded; second, if any better
organization to achieve this reform can be
devised than these Associations; third, will
they set about organizing in the respective
townships.
Very truly,
WARREN y. WILKES.

Old Age is Honorable.

This is true, but how few of us like to
look old. Age, with its grey hairs, is never
welcome, and the various arts have been
brought into rcquisition to hide its ravagees.

tina. purpose which infict serious injury on
the constitution. Especially is this the case

HORSE LAws.-It has been decided that
when horse or carriage is let out for hire
for the purpose of performing particular
journey, the party letting warrants the
horse or carriage fit and competent for
such journey. If the hrer treats the
horse or carriage as any prudent man
would do, he is not answerable for any
damage either may receive But he must
use the horse for the purpose for which
he hired him. For instance, horse hired
for saddle must not be used in harness.
If the hirer violates this express condition
OF the contract, he is liable for any dam
age that may occur. If the horse is stolen
through the hirer's negligence, such as
leaving the stable door open all night, he
must answer for it. But if he is robbed o
it by highwaymen, when travelling the
usual road at usual hours, he cannot be
held for damage. As these questions are
frequently in dispute these decisions may
be interesting.

EXPULSION OF FLIEs.-The Rev. George
Meares Drought, writing from Ireland to
the London Times, says:
" For three years I have lived in 4 town,
and during that time my sitting-7oom has
been free from fies-thrce or four only
walking about my breakfast table, while
all my neighbors' rooms were crowded.
/ often congratulated myself on my escape,
but never knew the reason Of it until two
days ago. then had occasion to remove
ny goods to another house, while | re-
manned on for two days longer. Among
other things moved were two boxes of
geraniums and calceolarias, which stood
in my window-the window being always
open to full extent, top and bottom. The
boxes were not gone half an hour before
my room was as full OF flies as those around
me. This, to me, is new discovery, and
perhaps it may serve to encourage other:
in that which is a source of pleasure, ant
which nov proves also to be a source o
comfort, VIZ: window gardening"

How TO CATCH HAwKs.-As the season ap-

and killing these marauders will be in
order. 1t is awell known fact that hawks
will always light on some conspicuous place
close to the poultry yard from which to
swoop down on his victims. Taking
advantage of this erect q pole with flat
surface at the top just large enough to hold
a strong steel trap. Fasten this trap by a
chain to a staple in the pole and await
results. No bait will be needed for the
hawk will be quite certain to light on the
trap and be caught. A gentleman who has

How to Get Rid of Household Pests.

A correspondent of the Scientific A"ert-
can SAYS: AZ have not had bedbug or
flea in my house for many years. If an
army of them were to be brought in
mercury would speedily oxterminate them;
but think cleanliness the best and
perhaps the only preventive. The common
house fly do not molest, believing that it
more than compensates for its trouble by
clearing the atmosphere of cffluvia and the
animalcules which always arise from the
putrcfaction of decaying substances during
warm weather.
So also with the birds which are quite
numerous here during the summer.
Instead OF shooting them or setting up
scarccrows to frightcn them away, | throw
out every possible inducement for them to
build up their nests in my fruit trees. Tho
birds capture large share of the insects
in the larva state, and thus the millers are
prevented from depositing eggs for future
worms. As to the loss Of fruit by birds, the
latter are always sure to be on hand in
force in the season of ripo fruit, whether
they come early to take the worms or not.
For the residue of insects which infest
my vegetable garden, find that the labora-
tory of the chemist furnishes materials
fatal to them all, among which white helle-
bore and cayenne pepper are Of the most
utility. The bug or worm which cannot
find vegetation unnayorcd with these
articles will seek its breakfast elsewhere
and leave the garden unmolested.
\ few drops of carbohc acid in a pint Of
water will clean house plants from lice in
very short time. If mosquitoes or other
blood suckers infect Our sleeping rooms at
night, we uncork bottle of pcnnyroyal,
and these insects leave in great haste, MOI
will they return SO long as the air in the
room is loaded with the ftime of thai
aromatic herb. If rats enter tho cellar, {
little powdered potash thrown into theil
holes, or mixed with meal and scattered
in their run-ways, never fails to drive then
away.
Cayenne pepper will keep the butter,
and storeroom free from ants and cock
reaches. If mouse makes an entranc
into any part of your dwelling, saturate
rag with cayenne in solution and stuff i
into the hole, which can be repaired Will
either wood or mortar No rat or nous
will eat that rag for the purpose of open
ing communication with the depot of sup
plies.

Rio hard III. Dana.

Previous to taxing fnal action on
the nomination Of Richard Fl. Dana

Senate Foreign Relations Committee
will bear him in reply to the charge
made against him by Gen. Butler, Of
literary piracy, etc, and next Tues
day session has been assigned for the
purpose, aud Mr.. Dana was SO Inform
Ed. One of the members authorized
denial of the reportthat the commit-
tee had requested the President to
withdraw his nomination.
The Massachusetts people here are
terribly exercised over the failure to
confirm the Presidents nomination of
Richard Henry Dana, as minister to
Great Britain Some years ago Dana
was employed to edit Il e International
Lac, which had for some years been
edited by Gov. William Beach Law
renee, ct Rhode Island and, when the
work appeared, it contained some of
Lawrence's notes verbatim. Lawrence

right in the United States Court and
obtained verdict in his favor. Now
be comes here and has obtained from
every Democratic Senator a pledge not
to vote Ia favor of Dana's confirmation.
On the other side of the House
comes Gen. Butler with d vigorous re-
collection of Dana's opposition to him
SIX years ago, when be was the regular
ly nominated Republican candidate,
and he shows that Dana has repeatedly
bolted regular nominations The Sen
ate Committee on Foreign Relations

withdraw the nomination. but they
made no report in executive session.
Dana has telegraphed Senator Dawes

'TRAMPs" IN IoWA.-A CROWN.
curse OF the country at present is the
tramp" nuisance. The vagabonds
who yearly prowl through The agricnl-
tural districts, begging, stealing and
destroying as they go, but neither
working Or producing a cents worth
from one seasons end to another. are
nearly as bad visitation as the grass
hopper plague, besides being much
surer to came around with the opening
spring. It is wise, then, that the
agricultural State of Iowa has taken
notice Of this class of predatory yaga-
bonds, and through legislative action
has set stumbling block in their way
IN the shape of law which provides
for the arrest Of the "tramps" In every
county wherever found, and making
them work out fines of SOC or less,
which may be imposed by the authori-
ties. This Law should be eutorced with
nnrelentlng rigor. that these tramps
may learn. with all other criminals,
that the world owes to no man any
living except that which he honestly
earns, and that chronic laziness has no
premium on this side Of the waters.
