productive. Corn and cotton will grow as
well and produce as much in field without
q fence, as in field enclosed with q marble
WALL All that the fence is designed to do,
is to protect tho farm from being destroyed
by domestic animals.
The man who owDs no land can not soy,
"This new law is hatchcd up for tho pur-
pose of preventing me from owning any
stock" In every we'll regulated govern
ment, labor and capital are mutually do
pendcut upon each other. :, AS tho ftnco
law now exists, the andholdrrs of the
couotry can as easily prevcn: those who
have no land from owning p: ock, as they
possibly will be uble to do Z he change is
made 10 the law. Every landholder has
tho right to fence up all his land aud thus
keep all stock, except his own, off his lands.
that whatever has tendency to crush out
the laborng class of country, destroys tic
value of property.
Some persons object to any change being
made in the fence law because they will
not be able to pasture their fields after the
crops arc taken off them. This objection
is based on tho incorrect deduction that tho
law proposes TO prevent the farmer from
fencing lis fields. That would be tyranny.
There is not Legislature or n State in tho
United States, that dare make such an en-
actmcnt. It would bo violation of the
laws of individual rights, guaranteed by the
Constitution of the United States. The
day will never come in South Carolina when
q man will not be permitted to put fence
around any and all of his fields and pasture
them as much and as long as lie penses.
The proposed law only coutcmplatcs per-
hitting him, MS he sees fit, to fence or not
fence, his fields; and simply requires him,
10 order to protect the rights Of others, to
enclose his stock.
Let every voter, before he casts his vote
for or against the proposed law, put tho
advantages likely to result to the county, by
the proposed change in the law, in ono end
of the sculcs, and tho disadvantages in the
other, and then cnst his voto in favor of
that law, the advantages of which are
greatest. On cool reflection, it will be
found that the great disadvantage which
will result from tho practical adoption Of
the proposed fence law, will be nothing
more than temporary inconveniepcc--th
same kind of inconvenience which man
experiences when he removes old, rickcty
steps from his front door, and puts up new
steps; or takes the lcaky roof off his house
and puts on ran-proof roof. 1t says a
great deal in favor Of the proposed law that
wherever it has been tested, it has given
general satisfaction lorkOWe Enquirer.

Laws OF tho state.

Joint Resolution to provide for the rcorgani,
zation of the University Of South Carolina,
and of the State Normal School.
Whereas experience has demonstrated
that the existing methods of conducting the
University of South Carolina arc impructi-
cable, aud unnecessarily expensive, and that
the results attained under them are COM
mensurate neither with the design of tho
Legislature, nor with the hopes of tho people
who arc taxed for the maintenance of these
institutions Of learning; and whereas sound
public policy manifest'y dictates tho expo
diency of placing these and similar institu.
tions, as far as may DO practicable, upon
such basis as will enable them to afford the
largest possible educational advantages to all
classes of citizens at an outluy compatible
with The present embarrassed condition of
the finances Of the State; therefore,
BE ii enacted, by the Senate ond House
of Representatives of the State of South
Carohun, now met and sitting in Gcuerul
Assembly, and by the authority of the
samc:
SECTION l. That his Exccllcncy the

personal, of the State Universal and Normal
School, now belonging to and used by these
intitutions, and to place the same in the
custody aud under the management of some
discreet aud competent person, whe shall
have the power, by aud with the consent of
the Governor to rent the dwelling houses
thereof to suitable tenants, and use the pro-
cccds arising from such rentals i'll keeping
all the property IN good condition and re-
pair, aud in compensating himself for his
services in this regard: Provided, that such
compensation shall be determined by the
| Governor, and that on itomized account Of
| the receipts and expenditures herein con.
tcmplated shall be transmitted, through the
Governor to the General Assembly, at its
next regular session, and annually there.
after until it shall be otherwise ordered by
the Legislature.
SEC 2 That his Exccllency the Governor
and tho Board of Trustees, who, together
with the Chairman of tho Committees on
education of the Senate and of tho House
of Representatives, respectively shall consti-
tute commission to inquire into and de-
wise plans for tho organization and maintcn
aucc Of one university or college for the
tho State, which said universities or colleges
shall be kept separate and apart, but shall
forever enjoy precisely tho same privileges
and advantages with respect to their stand

nue. to bo appropriated by the State for
their maintenance. This commission to

Crushing out IL Bank.
From the New York Journal Of Commerce.

From the Now Ork y ournal OF Commerce.
How can we expect banks to do business
and pay dividends in New York when, be.
sides their other burdens, they are
weighted with such oppressive taxes? If
the Dry Goods Bauk winds up and takes
Sl,000,00 more of capital out of circulation
that misfortune will be another testimony to
tho cruel folly of the present system of bank
taxation, national and State. The poiut ut
at which this bank proposes to 60 into
liquidation might be avoided but for the
taxes. These arc "tho last feather that
breaks the camola back" Coming on top
of the other inevitable expenses of running
n bank, and tho prevalent business deprcs-
sion, they make tho reasons strong why the
stockholders of tho Dry Goods Bank should
consider tho cxpGdicncy of closing out tho
concern. The national taxes on this bank
last year were $1,000, and the State,
county and city taxes $4,000, a total Of
Just four per cent. on its whole capital.
What hopc has bank Of making Roadway

will some other banks be obliged to initiate

to reduce their capital largely2 Wo warned

ize aome Of tho consequences. Perhaps, by
tho timo tho next Legislature and Congress
meet, tho lesson taught will bo impressive
enough to force from them release or
mitigation Of the loads that are now crush

PUT 1T HN THE BANK.

"a penny saved, penny gained
BE prudent and discerning;
No mutter what your wants may bo,
Don't SPEND all you arc earning.
Kes, lad! wo know the will is strong,
Temptations come in plenty;
Let fifteen dollars meet your needs,
If you arc earning twenty.
Pay as you buy; don't run in debt
Great comfort is in knowing
That you arc free from cults and duns,
That you are no man owing.
So many things you'd like to have!
Next month your pay increases.
Look out, Ey lad. What will you do
Ifthcn your income ceases?
BE generous, but bo always just;
This life that We arc living,
Would lose much pleasure with the zcst
We feel in JOY of giving.
How Gun you save, you'd like to know?
Tell, and you'll gladly hear it
Yoir pockets is dangerous place,
Your hand is always near it.
Put in the bank all that you save,
And then you will have reason
TO thunk US for the good advice,
When comes your cloudy season.
You may have sunshine all your life!
We hope you'll have no other!
\ Then, with your savings in the bank,
Just lift some fallen brother.

WHAT WILL MAKE HENS LAY?-Put
two or moro quarts of water in kettle, and
ono large seed pepper or two small ones,
then put tho kettle over the fire. When
tho watcr boils, stir in coarse Indian meal
until you have thick mush. Let it cook
an hour or so. Feed hot. Horse radish
chopped ino aud stirred into mnsh as pre-
pared in the above directions, and for results
we arc getting from five to ten eggs per day;
whereas, previous to feeding wc had not
had eggs for long timo. We hoar great
deal of complaint from other people about
not getting eggs. TO such wo would
warmly recommend cooked food, fed hot
Boiled apple skins seasoned with red
pepper; or boiled potatoes, seasoned with
horse radish, ore good for feed; much better
than uncooKod food. Corn, when fod to the
hens by itsolf, has tendency to fattcn hers
rather than of producing tho more profitable
egg laying. A spoonful Of sulphur stirred
with their feed occasionally, will rid thom
of verlnin and tone up their systcms. 1t
is especially good for young ohickous or
turkeys. Out of flock of ten hatched last
November, we have lost but ono. They
have been fed on cooked feed mostly, and
arc growing finely.

TIE EARLY RISING DrLUs1oN.-Fo
farmers and those who live in localities whero
people can retire at eight or nine O. clock in
the evening, tho old notion of early rising
is still appropriate. But he who is kept up
till ten, eleven or twelve clock, ard then
rise at five or six because of the tcachings
of some old ditty about "carly to rsc," is
committing sin against his own soul.
There is not ono man in 10000 who can
afford to do without seven or eight hours
sleep. All that stuff written about great
men who slept only three or four hours
night is apochrypho. Thcy have have
been put upon such small allowances occa-.
sionally and prospered; but no man ever
yet kept healthy, in body and mind, for II
number of years, with less then seven or
hours sleep. If you can 60 to bed carly.
then rise early; if you cannot get to bed
till late, then rise late. 1t may be as proper
for ono man to rise at eight as it is for an
other to rise at five. Let tho rousing bell
DO rung at least thirty minutes before your
public appearance. Physicians SAY that
sudden jump out Of bed gives irregular
motion to the pulse. Give US time after
you call to roll, gozo at the world full in tho
face, and look before We leap.

WALEAA LILA COLLEGE H..

Walhalla is q plucky little place, and is
just now making commcndablo cxertions in
behalf of education. She now has charter
in shape for establishing another college in
her midst We learn from the KEOwEE
(Walhal!u) CouRlEn that twenty Of her
citizens have subscribed $500 each, and
5000 more had been raised up to June 2Sth
with prospects Of much moro. The College
is to be innuguratea and conducted under
the auspices of the Presbyterian Church.
This is us it should be. The l}artsts have
their Furmon University, the Lutherano
their Newbcrry College, the Associate Re-
formed their Erskine, the Mcthodists their
Wofford, and now tho Prcsbyte,ians are to
have their Walhalla College. This demon.
inaton is noted for its encouragement Of
learning, and they can no doubt support q
first class institution in this State. Hereto
fore they have sent their hoys mostly to
Davidson College, N. G. Davidson is
good college, hut we hope soon to sec one at
Wulhalla, S. c., equal to it. Success to the
enterprise. NewJcry Herald.

Social LIFE. Any great movement for
good in social life begins at home. It
begins with fathers and mothers. The first
and highest duty is to mako home cheerful
and attractive. Husband and wife must do
this for each other. Without this mutual
affection will dry up. If they have chill
drcn, it is their duty to make homo sweet
and precious to them. Children with good
homes seldom 90 to tho bad. Girls who
have learned to trust their mother, in their
whole round of thought, seldom get talked
about Boys who arc made to feel tho
strength of fathers and the tenderness of
mothers love, seldom runs wild. Their
natural lovo of fun and mischief does not
bind them over to the DEVILS service.
Pleasant, cheerful and bright homes, then,
are tho great demand. They may be poor,
but they can still! be pleasant and attractive
and good. The heart and spirit arc moro
than furniture and dwelling.
