The Death of Theirs.

Ex-Presidont Thiors, of Franco,
died on the 4th instant, ut IN ex-
tromo old age. He appeared per-
fectly we'll in the morning, but after
luncheon was seized with M apo
ploctic fit, from which he diod in the
afternoon. The event has produced
profound impression in France.
M. Thiers was universally respected
and beloved, and thousands shcd
toars at his death. Moreover, tho
present political crisis, by his doath,
is regarded as calamity. In him
were centred the hopes of the Re-
publicans who opposed the mon
archical and clerical proclivitics of
McMahon. The party is now at
sea, having no acknowledged leader
Gambetta is most prominent, but is
rather too extreme, being now under
trial for having, in political speech,
invited McMahon to step down and
out M. Grevy is also mentioned us
the possible leader of the Republi-
cans.
President McMahon has issued
orders to solcmnize the obscolics of
the deceased statesman and writer
with great pomp. The nation will

relics of Radicalism, Woodruff and
Jones. In the name of every
citizen of South Carolina, who
has lost u dollar through the rascali-

they be put on trial before God and
their country. Should they be alb
sent in October thcir bonds should
bo forfeited, and bcnch warrants
should issue to overy State in The
Union for their arrest. "No compro-
misc with scoundrels! should be the

Our New Officials.

Our new officials scarce need an
introduction to the people.
Mr.. Kerr is q young man, one
ARMED Confederate soldier, intcll-
gent, educated, and courteous. He
possesses all the qualifications
necessary to discharge the duties
of clerk of court. And it is needless
to say that one who has, when
occasion demanded it, bound his
armless sleeve to the plough>handle
and guided the ploughsharo in the
furrow to make q crop for the sup
port of himself and his family, will
DO industrious in his public Office
Captain Hinnant, who received
the unanimous vote of the county
for commissioner, will make n good
officer. He is practical, and no too
has displayed energy in following
the plough daily on his wooden leg.
Mr.. K. e. Ellison, Sr., is genial
and competent. He has had long
experience in public duties, and is
well fitted to direct the dolibera~
tions of the board.
Cornelius r. Means is young
colored man, q native of the county,
and enjoys moro than an average
education among the people Of his
color. He is honest and trustworthy,
and bears q first-rate character
among those who know him. He
has never before taken part in
politics, except to join q Hampton
Club last fall. He will do credit to
his race.

Victory! !

|
GUS victory, u bloodlcss victory, u
permanent victory. The devil is
dead. Radicalism is scotchod.
African supremacy is forever ended,
the high carnival of crime is ut an
end. Fairfield is free! Glory
enough for one day.
The credit is due to the good pco-
pic Of the county. They registered
u VOW on tho seventh Of last Novem-
Der that Radjcalism should never
win another election in this county,
that this is white mans country;
and that the guiding hand Of tho
Caucasian should Lc seen in all
matters pertaining to its govern
ancc. When the Radicals impudont.
ly put ticket in tho field, oycry
Democrat resolved himself into q
committee Of orc to thrash out that
ticket. That the ATTEMPT was u
success could be read in the
linoamcnts Of every Radical in the
county on the morning Of the 5th.
A good deal was heard about
"sorcheads." 1t is true a considcra-
bic number were disappointed, for
where more than ono candidate
runs, all mon cannot have their re-
spectiyo choices nominated, but
when tho question became one Of
Democratic or Radical supremacy,
all minor considerations were
dropped, and tho whites of Fairfield
stood as they always have, and
always will, shoulder to shoulder,
each fearing that somo other might
be before him in tho conflict. ''Sorc-
heads" were a precious scarce com
modify on election day.
Great credit is due to the large
number Of colored persons who
openly voted the Democratic ticket.
Disgustcd with their Radical leaders
they had the good sense to ally
themselves with the intelligence of
the country. They will be rcmcm-
bcrcd.
On tho other hand, those who
still, from stupid greed for Office, or
rancorous hate of tho whito race,
clung to the old Radical hulk, will
be remembered, and remembered
tho moro easily because the number
is fast diminishing. The party lash
has no longer any tcrrors, and the
masses are dcsorting their self>con
stitutcd leaders in shoals. On
those who arc stupid enough to bo
the last to leave tho sinking ship,
the vengeance will fall. If they do
not propose to conciliatc the white
man, they cannot seok Liberia too
soon. Except Smith, and the
sooner he leaves for Rhode Island,
the bottcr.)
Tho result of tho election on
Tuesday will do much to discourage
any organized Radical opposition
in future. Democratic supremacy
is assured. Tho peoplo can we'll
afford now to 60 to work and ad
vance tho material prosperity of the
county. Labor should be organiz-
cd, and generously treated. The
negroes must be disabused of tho
idea that their material interests
will be injured by white rule. The
we'll disposed colored man should
be kindly treated. Tho hearty sup~
port tcndered the colored candidate
for county commissioner proves
that tho whites do not draw the
color limo.
Evel since the opening of the
campaign in April, 1876, Fairfield
has been tho sceno of continued
political agitation. She can now
afford to rest Let the people lay
aside their political armor and
betake themselves to the plough
share. But let them never forget

80 No season in the northern belt Of States

larger varieties of corn. enough to warrant
reliance on its termination, If not subject
to artificial drying in addition to the
natural forces. The inevitable tendency
in all varieties of maize in cold seasons or
in latitudes higher than the belt where
peaches can DO grown, away from large
bodies ofwater, is to rapidly shorten the
ear; and to keep up pr0ductiveness, long
ears should be first sought for they IRE

No doubt it is wise to refuse the grains

We are willing to stake our credibility
on: the single statement that if seed corn
is thoroughly dried, cob included, as SET

that it comes in contact with sufficient

Home Decoration.

In winter, when the snow and ice are
on the ground, the farmers family, 50
free in other senses, are the most secluded
of people: 1t becomes them, therefore,
to provide for the pleasures of that season,
to which, when it comes, we shall add
our share. Nothing is prettier than to
carry summer into winter, as the farmer
with his crops knows nothing in this
world is more useful. We are pleased
with the idea Of the Forest ard Stream,
that people should provide grasses for
boquets, and, as it says, "Just at pres
ent in meadows and hedge-rows the Diff
ferent varieties Of wild grasses can be
obtained in perfection, and they should
be much more extensively employed in
in floral decorations than they are. for
not even the most delicate greenhouse
fern will give the same airy look to a
vase Of flowers that a few spikes Of Wild
grasses will impart. It is only a few
years since they were first brought into
requisition,a nd ever since-especially IN
England-their use has been steadily in
creasing. It is good plan to lay in a
store Of the different varieties of grasses
at the present time for use during the
winter months, when they cannot be OBJ
tanned in the fields.
In cutting them for this purpose each
variety should be tied In separate bunch
es, and care should be taken that they arc
not bruised together; for if this is the
case when the bunch is opened each spike
will be found ohave dried in its crushed
position, and its form will thus be quite
spoiled and its value for decorative pur-
poses destroyed. All grasses should be
dried in an upright position, particularly
those of dropping character. Oats and
rye while still green are also very pretty
in large arrangements, especially ears of
black oats, which are seldom seen used
and which form charming contrast to
grasses and sedges. The great value of
grasses u.s. that in addition to their Qiv-
ing light appearance to a vase, a large
plume Of handsome grasses and sedees
enables you not only to dispense with
many flowers, but show those used to
much better advantage. To some this
may be no object, but to many it must
be matter for consideration. In this
connection attention may also be directed
to the utility Of the bloom of the ribbon
grass for mingling with flowers. This
spike of bloom has silver-like luster in
some stages Of its growth, while in others
it assumes a rosy-pink tint, which is
equally pretty: In the trumpet of a
March vase, in which red and and white
flowers predominant, few spikes of the
ribbon-grass bloom will help to carry
up the color with charming effect into
the green of other grasses, flowers and
foliage employed in its decoration. For
a trumpet the graceful dropping oat-
grass of bronlus is best adapted.

Saving Seea Corn.

The suggestion that there was "sex" in
the ear of corn is simply moonshine. The
tassel or raceme is one sex and the silk Is
another. .,,
The best ear is uniform in size through

straight, with uniformly -shaped grains
