MINNIE MOORE.

Twas a calm and MOONLIGHT evening
When We INST down by the shore.
And the gentle surf kept whispering
The name of Minnie Moore.
The zsphyrs kissed her tresseG
And famed her glowing cheek
While we trod the sand together,
Each trying hard to speak.
Oh. whisper something. Minnie,
Say that you think Of me,
And that you will remember
Our stroll beside the ses,
The beautiful. calm seq.
Tho deep. the waveless sea.
I pointed.to the wavelets
AS they crept up to the shore,
Still whispering SO softly
The name of Minnie Moore.

And renderly embraces"
Yes" she replied, they're sisters.
Which makes different case"
Oh, cunning, cautious Minnie,
Iwould billow be.
And hug my loving sister
Just leapinH from the sea.
The beautiful, calm sea,
The deep, the CLASSY seq.
The moon looked in her mirror.
The oceans silvery breast:
The stars they twinkled brightly.
The night winds sunk to rest.
All nature seemed so lovingl
That could not do less
Than ask her if she'd have rnef
She. blushing. answered yes
The charming little Minnie.
We. surely, now agree,
Aud we will long remember
Our stroll down by the sea.
The beautiful. calm sea,
The bright, the waveIess sea.

A Genuine Iteforlner.

We copy tho following brief biographical
sketch Of the Hon. w. q. Brown, Of Auder-
son, from the Charleston Journal Of Com
merce. DR.. Brown is ono of the marked
mon Of tho House. His course has met
With the unqualified approval of his CON
stitucnts and has brought down upon his
hoad the deep. curses of Paruenw patriots
and journalistic blackguards. The biogra--
pher says:
The Hon. w. O. Brown, of Anderson,
is Que Of the marked men Of tho House.
lie is now forty.six years Of age, and was
born in Oconco County. When he was a
lad his father removed to Georgia and settled
in tho mountain region of that State, where
tho family still reside. Ex Governor Joe
Brown, is distinguished momber of the
family, aud brother Of our Representative.
DR.. Brown is emphatically self-madc man,
and got q liberal aud practical education,
contendiug against poverty and many other
difficulties. No combination Of difficulties,
however, could disheartcn him, but with
untiring determination bo prosecuted his
studies, and in 1854 he graduated in medi.
cine in Philadelphia with the highest honors
of large and brilliant GLASS: He then
located Mt Bolton, and for years pursued his
profession with conspicuous success. In it
ho amasscd handsome fortune and retired
from his profession only to become large,
successful and prosperous planter. The
Doctor is Of modest and retiring disposi-
ton, and has always been avcrsc to public
life. lie was, however, almost unanimously
elected President of the Tax payers Union
for his county in 1878, which position he
filed with distinguished ability and honor.
Last summer he was prevailed upon to allow
his namo to be used as candidate for tho
Legislature, and entered upon the canvass
with all tho eagerness and energy of his
enthusiastic nature, displaying marked
ability as political speaker. Hc headed
tho ticket in the primary elections.
This is tho first term of tho Doctor, and
he has already taken q prominent place
among the best men of the House. lie is
remarkable for tho clearncss of his views
and the honesty of his purposes. He has
q perfect conception Of tho issues now
before the country, and truly represents his
constituency. lie is actuated by tho
highest standard of morals and is untcrrifcd
by opposition in the advocacy of his views
IIo is shining light, and by his bold and
determined course has won the respect and
admiration of tho whole House.

4ucssrs E0itors: Having just returned
from your delightful town, you, in all
probability, would like to know the dots
from Edgefcld.
Judge kcrshaw opened new era in this
County by bringing tho recollcctioDs Of o
glorious past and tho beacon light of as
happy future. lie gave us two weeks
court, holding daily sessions FROM 10 A. NJ.
and adjoufning about 6 o'clock of each day
The docket was cleared of much criminal
scrubbish. That noted burglar and pest of
the citizens, Aggrippa Wigfall, colored, was
convicted at this term of the court for
Gotten stealing. The hearts of EdgeGcld
throb nero easy than before court adjourned
last week.
A now Rifle Club under title Of "Thc
Edgefcld Riilcs," James Bonham, captair,
was lately organized with IN active member.

in for recognition in day or so.
Hon. George D. Tillman was 10 town the
othcr day in high spirits. The venerable
"Congrossman" has shaved his fuce and cut
his hairncarly Us clean as hc will oust Slnalls
out of his pretended seat next fall. Mr.. Till.
man is in good spirits, and told me that he
had more than $500 of Smals' votes in a
bad condition in Aiken, whiIo he (SmalIs)
had made no impression in Edge6old wherc
he made his great effort. lie says to secure
his scat will be certainty.
Tho negroes, dcadencd by the great defeat
at the last election, arc so heartbroken that
they give vent to their feelings by pro-
posed removal to Liberia. have convorsed
with several upon the subject, and find
their ignorant minds carried away with the
idea that there is tree in that Paradise
whose fruit is largo nuts, about tho size Of
peck measure, containing pure flour,
whilo mere gimlet hole bored through the
bark of tho same will cxude puro molasscs
until stopped. This is no fiction to them,
but their candid belief. Poor things!

from this city to Monrovia will bo ten day
ono and from that place they will go by
inland water twenty .threo miles to where
tho country begins to rise. There they
will settle, and work up the hills into the
country.
George Curtis, who seems especially en-.
thuSiastio, says that they will be beyond
the malarial belt. lie says also, that men
Of prominence and wealth in England havo
become interested in tho matter, aud that
tho association has recently received en-.
couraging letters from such sources. His
idea is that tho proposed exodus will bo for
tho benefit of both races, and is anxious to
have it Understood that he advocates it for
that reason, and not in any unfriendly spirit
towards tho white people. His ideas on the
subject are worth publishing. He says that
the present agitation to have tho machinery
brought to tho cotton is bound to secure that
result. That when that is done that Char.
lcston's export trade in raw cotton and her
import trade in fabrics is bound to suffer.
That if tho emigrants aro treated kindly
and assisted by Charleston, they will natu
rally send back their products to be manu-
faotured horc, this place being only day
or two further from them than London.
That this would give this city an immense
import trade, and furnish food for unnum-
bcrcd looms and factories.
Tho last words heard by tho reporter as
he withdrew were: awe can no moro be
stopped than tic children of Israel could be
stopped from coming out of Egypt"

Fence or No Fence.

1iessrs. Editors, AS the question, fenoe
or no fence, appears to be open for Discus
sion, if it will not be considered inappropri-
ato, propose to offer fow thoughts relative
to this question.
lat. l am in favor of the change, if il
could be adopted by tho whole country and
not restricted to townships; though to On
force the law ou the people at present will
not do. Let us wait for other sections who
may bo moro interested to try tho expert.
mont. Then it will be time for us to try it.
I'd. by your leave will givo you somc
Of my experience in fencing stock. Some
time ago, in the spring of tho year, We had
q COW which went back to her old range,
and If We got her milk it was necessary to
conilne her and keep her at home. There.
fore, having little broom sedgo old field
enclosed with water ini it, tho COW was
promptly put in it to starve, thought
There she stayed until fail without any
thing to eat except said grass and lick of
salt now and then. Instead of starving We
obtained plenty Of good rich milk, tho COW
continually improving aud becoming fat in
tho fall. So with this and similar export
ments we conclude it is better to fence tho
stock, as splitting rails ia hard work, old
fenco rows good soil, and tho cattle, &c., in
q better condition.
We might bring other proofs to show the
advantage to our people in adopting the law,
but will forbear at present. However, as I
said at first, let us not DO too hasty in
making the change; for our present condi-
tion also has its advantages in having a
great deal of forest land which is now worth.
less for cultivation, affordiug an inoxhausti-
bio supply Of rich grazing ma.er;s! fer our
stock, which mover fails to pay our people
in fat bceves, hogs, go. This great help
the poor man, whose only source of profit
is his few cattle, 80, cannot easily dispense
with.
could say moro on this subject, but
lest weary your patience, l will desist and
respectfully leave 10 ablcr writer's to argue
this question, so as to do the most good for
our country. Respectfully submitted.
