GOOD FARMING.

Under this head the Keowee Courier pub
fishes the following compliment to farmer
of Anderson County:
: We had the pleasure recently of visiting
the farm of Mr.. R. NJ. Morris, who lives near
Sandy Springs Anderson County. Mr..
Morris gave us some facts concerning his
farming last year, which we take pleasure
in publishing, in the hope that it may stim-
ulate some Of our Oconee farmers. In 1876
off of one acre of ground Mr.. M. produced
.S2i bushels of wheat, weighing 81 pounds to
the bushel. After the wheat was harvested
he planted the same ground in corn, and
gathered therefrom 26 bushels, weighing 60
pounds to the bushel and 1854 pounds of fod-
der. The total value of this crop, including
wheat, corn and fodder, was $95.50. The
cost of production was $28, leaving net
profit off of one acre of $3.50. Upon anoth-
er acre the same year Reproduced II bushels
of wheat, IL bushels of corn, 13 bushels of
peas, $50 pounds of fodder and 600 pounds
of pea vines, the total value of which was
$3.50. The cost of production was $40,
leaving net profit of S47.50. Total profit
off of two acres of land the same year $115.
Mr.. Morris also informed us that on the 25th
of June he sowed broadcast eight acres of
stubble land in speckled peas at the rate of
i! bushels to the acre, and that he gathered
therefrom nine bushels per acre. Can any
of our Oconee farmers beat this? If they
can, we would be glad to hear from them.
1t beats cotton planting all to pieces. Mr..
MS present crop of wheat, although injured
con siderably by the late hail storm, will
make an abundant yield One acre we think
will turn out as much as 25 or 80 bushels.

amount she thinks would assuage her grief.

amount she thinks would assuage her grief.
The manner in which the promise was made
was by the gentleman sending her boquet
of flowers, the emblems of which were,
81 love you," and "Will you marry me?"
The young lady engaged herself, she says,
by returning him flower, the emblem of
which is eyes" The young man would
not, however, dance to the music of we'd
ding bells, and the result is that the wrong
of the poor girl is to be redressed by suit in
Court. Gentlemen sending boquets to Ia
dies should be very careful not to send
flowers having the wrong emblem, or they
may fare the fate Of the young gentleman
from Maine.
DR.. r. E. Thompson has for the past few
years given portion of his attention to OBJ
tanning good orchard, and has now one of
the finest young orchards in the County
It contains very large variety of fruit
trees, and the Doctor gave US o practical
illustration of his success in growing early
peaches by bringing us On last Tuesday
some large, perfect, well-ripened, luscious
ones of the Early Beatrice variety. If all
of our farmers would give little more time
and little better attention to fruits, they
would find our climate and our soil as good
for apples, peaches, grapes, plums and
berries as any other in the world. To do
this, however, they must, as Dr. Thompson
has done, introduce new varieties, and not
content themselves with planting scrub
twigs upon the poorest hill tops of the
farm. 1t could be made very profitable
industry if pursued at all generally.

SANDY SPRINGS.

General Green has made his appearance
among us, and unless our farmers make
every edge cut he will supplant them, and
eventually gain the victory. 1.-THE crops,
though small, are in fine condition. Since
the showers they have been growing rapidly.
......sandy Springs can boast of as many, if
not more, good, industrious and scientific
farmers than any community in any county
of the same age. They not only cultivate
their lands thoroughly, but they comply
with the requisite of Chemistry, which says,
'put on as much as you take off" Doing
this, the soil, instead of deteriorating in its
yield, will increase year after year......The
wheat crop is being harvested and threshed.
Messrs. Dickson, Picl.le and McElroy have
started with their steam thresher. 1.-THE
exercises of Sandy Springs Academy closed
on Friday, 18th inst, and will be resumed
the 18th of July.....Rev. J. T. Attaway
preached at Sandy Springs on last Sunday.
Although very much indisposed physically,
he delivered sermon with the usual amount
of zeal and earnestness. We wish Mr.. Alta
way speedy recovery to his former health
and vigor.

HYDROPHOBIA.

The excitement which induced the enact
ment of the town ordinance in Anderson is
not local, but general. This fearful disease
is prevailing among dogs to an alarming
extent all over the country; and in Able
vile County it seems to be worse than else
where, as will be seen from the following
notices in the Abbeville papers, which go to
show that our dog law is a good one, and
should be rigidly enforced:
For the last day or two yeritable mad
dog has been creating great deal OF excite
ment and uneasiness in this community.
Ten or dozen persons have already been
bitten. Parents would do we'll to keep their
children in doors until something has been
done to relieve the community Of this terri
BILE scourge. The distemper is spreading
among the dogs about town, and the coun-
Gil should at once take active measures to
subdue the excitement. Every dog found
on the streets after next Saturday without a
muzzle should be shot.-Mcdium.
A mad dog or two about town has scared
nearly all of our citizens out of their boots.
Several negroes have been bitten by the
rabid animal, and the number OF CANNES
that have been bitten is unknown. The
town council have instructed the town
marshal to shoot all stray dogs found on
the streets, and nearly everybody has pis-
tol about his person to be used in case OF
emergency. It is unsafe for dog to 60
nosing around our people now.
When the mad dog reached Mr. WeDb's
school house Yesterday morning the exer-
cises of that institution were Immediately
suspended, when teacher and pupils ad-
journed to the rafters of that building.
Nobody was bitten at this school.-Press
and Banner.

Mr.. EDITOR: AS saw in former mum
Der that your columns were open for dis
cussion in regard to the fence law, take the
liberty of giving my reasons for opposing
the measure.
First, it will not suit the poor man who
has no help. In the first place, lie has no
water course; consequently he has to dig a
well, and after hard days work he has to
so half mile to water and feed his stock
all the year round. If he has sheep or goats
he must have two pastures, for if hogs and
sheep are kept under one fence he will raise
no lambs. Again, there will not be any,
thing saved in the way of timber, for it will
require as many rails to keep up pasture
fence as for the CROP as the fence will have
to be sufficiently stront; to keep anything
from breaking through. Therefore, the
rails must be entirely new and kept so, with
as much repairing every year as our present
plan requires. All this would be very hard
on the poor man, who would have all or
most of the work to do in addition to his
usual routine of farm duty.
1t would suit the rich man, we are free to
admit, as he can afford to hire all the help
he may need, and can have as many pas
lures as he may please, and to him it would
be very nice thing. Not SO with the poor
man. Then again, there must be an addi-
tional tax to keep up a line fence between
Counties. Now, the poor man has to pay
his part Of this tax, when he has already as
much as he can stand up to. Besides, we
are hardly out of one political trouble be-
fore some selfish plan is instigated to bring

LEBANON.

The crops in this locality are improving
very rapidly since the rain, and the prospect
for Spring-sown oats !Ss most Aattering......
Our forest trees, which were almost stripped
of their leaves by the hail-storm, have put
out second growth, and once more have
assumed their usual Summer appearance.
1.-THE question of fencing in our stock is
being warmly discussed by all classes Of our
community. The white and the black alike
take an interest in the proposed change.
Even our ladies are enthusiastic in their
support of the measure. believe that the
change in our fence system would produce
as beneficial revolution in our agriculture
as the Inauguration Of Hampton has done
in our politics. 1t has been agreed upon
by some of our citizens to discuss this ques
ton with the colored voters, and meeting
will take place on Saturday, the thirtieth
day of this month, near Mountain Spring
(colored) Baptist Church, where Messrs.
Jeptha and William Harper, and perhaps
others, will address them in favor of the
change. Our debating society will discuss
at its next meeting the question, "Were
our forefathers justihable in driving the
Indians from this country" Great interest
is taken in this society by our citizens. Its
attendance is always good, and the debates
are sharp and improving.
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1877-06-21

us into another kind, for it does not require
much sagacity to perceive the selfishness OF
this plan. Another reason why the law
should not be passed is, that however strong
the fence may be, we very frequently have
winds that can blow them down; and sup
pose this occurs at night, all the stock is at
once turned out and your crop destroyed be-
fore day. These are things that cannot be
prevented Again, farmer cannot prevent
thoroughfare being made through his
crop unless he can keep constant watch,
which no farmer can do.
Much more might be said against the
law, but nough has been already said to
convince any unsel6sh mind that it will
operate against more persons than it will
benefit. Lest it should be said the writer
has his own selfish ends to crafty, he has
as many and as good water-courses for pas
turage as he may have need, and therefore
it would be as much benefit to the writer as
to others; but he is not willing to make
others sacrifice their interests for his indi-
yidual benefit Neither is it reasonable or
right that the many poor should be madeto
suffer so much inconvenience for the benefit
of the few. VARENNES,

:HONEA PATH.

Up to Friday last four hogs, one COW, one
calf and three dogs had gone mad and were
killed. In addition to this, seven dogs have
been killed which we're considered in dam
gerous condition, ali having been bitten by
the Phillips mad dog..".The thieves have
now turned loose on bee-gums. George
Greer lost the honey from two rich gums
last week....S. N. Latimer has heisted the
black flag and declared war against sheep
killing degs..... Wheat is reported sprouting
and otherwise injuring from the rains of the
past week.....J. J. Shirley reports corn
tassels, and another young farmer no corn
tassels, but lots of maolly.pop blossoms....
The special train through from Charleston
on Monday last, passed here in the after
noon on time, and now that it as possible to
run through in day, it is hoped that it
will be done regularly. ..
