On Friday aitdShaSpop, 81, during shS severe ysa
gale whichS pfeyeiled fors several hours, "a
frightful accident occurred upon the planta-
ton Of Mrs. d. NJ. Watson, resulting in the
sudden death Of Mr.. Thomas Stacks, who
was crushed beneath falling tree in the
open field. 1t appears that Mr.. Stacks was
engaged in cuttiig briarH along ditch, and
had returned to his work In the afternoon.
where it was evident that he had been dili-
gently engaged, and the amount of work
done by him produces the impression tllnt
he was killed towards night Net coming
home ut the usual hour, II was SUI posed
that he had gone to o neighbours to get mod
icine for one Of the children, and it was late
in the night before the family were alarmed
at his protracted absence, when search was
instituted, which resulted in finding the
body, at the place designated, about three
o'clock on Saturday morning. He was
found in such position as to make 1t plain
that the tree struck him on the head and
right shoulder, and then upon his left knee,
Which was dislocated. The tree was limb
less and decayed, and the only one in q
large field. Coroner Herfick held an in
quest over the body on Saturday morning,
when the jury rendered verdict 'that the
deceased came to his death by blow from
a falling tree" Mr.. Stacks was an industri-
ous, Woodworking man, e'l.i large family

THE DRAINAGE QUESTION.

MEssRs. EDIToRs Doubtless the
drainage OF our swamps and bottom
lands is matter of high Importance to
the country at large. It would add to
the wealth and prosperity of the land
owner; it void contribute much to the
general hygiene of.ethe whole people.
These two propositions are, conceded by
all thinking men to be facts. But the
mode to effect the desired end may not
be very generally agreed upon. A
drainage law, Iike all other laws, should
be foundot. upon principles of substan.
tial justice, and be consistent with estab-
lished usage and the precedents. of legis-
lation.A j SucL law, should not impinge
upon individual rights. Far better suffer
temporary inconyeniences which NAV be
abnormal and merely incidental, than to
hastily enact remedies that may entail
greater evils. Pestilence is periodic and
prevails on the mountain top as WelE a
in the valley. YOU cannot quarantine
cholera but Of Calcutta o, yellow fever
out OF New Orleans.
Well digested law sho. d endorse not
only what is legitimate Of the past, but
also what may not conflict with probable
future interest, and so at once assume the
character Of permaaensy. SYetceiitainlv
have had within the last decade enough
of reconstruction, revision and legisla-
ton. Laws passed in haste and ignor-
ance; laws parallel, conflict :, supernu.
merary, redundant, now s-sAd upon our
statute books. The Drainage Law for
Anderson County partakes Of the char
acteristic perhaps of all these classifica-
tions. It is nullity and cannot possibly
escape abolition either by che courts sr
the Legislature. But in les room wo will

Congressman Wallace, Of South Carolina,
