No farmer can afford to be without q first
class agricultural journal, and weare always
anxious to assist them In procuring the
varied and valuable information communi-
Gated through such q channel. In a long
experience In the newspaper business, after
ordering hundreds Of agricultural Journals
Tor our farming friends, We have never met
. snbscriber yet who was not pleased with
his investment. The outlay is so small that
any one can afford It, and the benefit de-
rived thsrefrom Is measured by the diligence
With ewhich,its pages are perused. Among
the standard monthlies, which has furnish
ed practical and valuable Information 10 the
farmers of the South for many years, we
place the Ssthsn chltsvasor among the fore;
most and worthiest. It is adapted to the
wants of this section, and especially devoted
to the improvement and elevation of South
ern agriculture. We are clubbing with this
monthly again this year, and will be pleased
to send the MrELL1eKNcER and the Chltipator
to any one address for $3.50.

LONGS SHOP LOCALS,

AS it is news that you wish your local
correspondents to give, we have very little
to communicate; and hence, unless you can
accept kind of medley, we cannot at this
time write anything....The cry of hard
times, occasioned by the scarcity of money
If it can be termed news-is the most
prominent. This salutes the ear on every
side. This neighborhood, taking the area
of circumference Of. three or four miles, is
emphatically a. farming community, not
single resident professional man, neither
lawyer, doctor, preacher or teacher, all are
following the plow. :. But it is not to be in
fered from this that we are a set of semi
bsrbarians and inyalids; for.the morals; in
telligence and health of thep people will COM
pare very favorably with any other portion
of the County Of the same size. We have
said that all are farmers, yet itimust be con-
fessed that large majority may be classed
in the category of 'small fry" yet they raise
crops according to the capital
invested, being the humble recipients of the
request couched in Agurs prayer, "Give us
neither poverty nor riches."'. Every one
is very busy at present. preparing his land
and hauling guano in order to make another
"big" crop of the leecy staple, so as to en-
courage, strengthen and perpetuate the
usuped claims d, the modern upstart,
''King Cotton" over the legitimate and an
cient Queen Ceres. s....The freedmen of this
sectiona all have homes, and are laboring

and encouraging omen, we perceive from
your journal that not few of them have
paid the Hampton contribution. More

appeared, we have seen petition (now in
our possession) recommending Edwin I.

is all wrong. We think that if he cannot
afford to go before the people on his merits,
he should not go at all. Our neighbors are
not giving us fair play around Williamson,

Col. d. Wyatt Aiken, in. late number OF
the Nars and Courier, directs the attention
Of the subordinate Oranges .tosthe proceed
ings Of the recent session Of the State
Grange, and to the necessity for every sub-
ordinate Grange to ally itself actively with
the order BY making known the name Of
its Master md Secretary, with their post
ofies address, to the newly elected Secretary
Of the ,StEte Grange, Thos. w. Holloway,
Pomaris, 8. G. The Secretary has extra
copies of the proceedings, which cannot be
sent 70 a great many Oranges, because the
recently elected Master and Secretary have
not been reported to him. Although the
proceedings Of the Stats Grange appeared in
tbs iHrEr1IasNGE4, it is quite probable that
many of the officers would like to get an
extra copy, which can be secured on appli-
cation to the Secretary. Besides, it is im-
portant in other respects that the addressof
every Master and Secretary be in possession
of the stats Grange. "a

BRusHY CREEK ITEMS.

MEssRs. EDITORS: In response to your
call for locals, I will give you what we have
in the section of the mouth of Brushy
Creek, and on either side to It's source or
head as far as we are able to see, hear or
guess at, butwe must say ,are in aquah-
Diary to know of what to speak first The
farmers generally are hard at work turning
the soil, cleaning, clearing and draining for
large crops Of corn, cotton, peas, potatoes,
&C., which is all very well but cotton
seems to predominate, which is all. wrong.
.....A gool deal of fertilizers are being used,
but not as extensively as last year......A
good crop of wheat was prepared for In the
fall, but the prospect now is for sorry crops.
1--WE believe the largest acreage of oats
was sown last fall we ever knew, all of
which is failure.....We hsve some two or
three schools in our midst, but not enough
to accommodate one-half the children. ..... f.
Churches We have in abundance, and good
preaching but immortality seems to be on
the increase.....The sable sons of Africa,
led by some of Chamberluin's crew, have
become addicted to cow stealing, and ever
and anon sheep is killed by "dorgs," and
hollow stumps bear fruit like unto hog
skins..... Hens fail to ''set" because they are
obliged to "lie' dead. All OF which may
be traced to Chamberlain, or to the influ-
ence of his teachings......We have two steam
sow mills in operation-one owned by
Messrs. johnson & Gambrell doing "dri
wing" business; the other by Air. Ellison.
Also, good grist and Touring mills, owned
by the Messrs. Holcombe. johnson G. Co.,
to which is attached in full blast distillc-
ry, run by that veteran, j. H. Barrett......

LECTURE.

We are requested to announce that lee
tnre will be delivered in Temperance Hall,
on next Wednesday night at eight o'clock,
BY Rev. D. e. Frierson for the benefit Of
the Weman,s Mission Society There will
be an admtttance fee of ten cents for grown
persons, and five cents for children. The
proceeds from this lecture are for the foreign
mission work of the above Society; and
hence, we hope the hall will be crowded.
The sum is Insignificant, and no person will
doubt that the lecture will be worth much
more than the price paid to hear it, besides
the fact that it is for benevolent object.

LOCATION OF HEvssRRY COLLEGE.

The stockholders Of the Anderson Educa-
tional Association met in the Court House
on Saturday last, to consider the feasibility
of making bid for the permanent location
of the Newberry College, at this place A
proposition was made to donate the property
now occupied by the Carolina Collegiate
Institute to the Lutheran Synod, and the
proposition was discussed for some time by
thestockholders. Several amendments were
offered to the original motion, and after an
animated discussion, it was finally agreed
to postpone its further consideration until
Saturday next, when an adjourned meeting
will take place. The President was directed
10 obtain all the information he could in
regard to the advantages offered by the New
berry College, and to invite some one con-
nected with the institution to meet with the
stockholders on Saturday, for. the purpose
Of stating positively its distinctive features
and prospects.
The proposition to make the donation has
elected much comment in the community,
and among the stockholders there is an
earnest desire to carry out in good faith the
by-lsws of the Association, which is to act
for the best interests of the whole town and
surrounding country in an educational point
of view. Their individual interests are sub
ordinated for the general good, and upon
becoming satisfied that the educational ad-
yantages of the town are to be promoted BY
this donation of their property, we are con-
WINGED they will oct promptly to effect that
end. No one doubts that the location of the
Newberry College would prove advantageous
to great extent, but the question before the
stockholders is whether or not these advan-
tages are sufficient to warrant the gift of a
valuable property, which cost originally
10000. The mature deliberation Of the
stockholders will commend itself to the
community, and whatever action may be
taken by them will prove satisfactory in the
end. we have no doubt. Other localities ore
seeking the removal of the Newberry College
in their midst, and it is by no means certain
that an offer from Anderson would secure
its,location here, although we believe that
the Association has in its power more de-
sirable bid than can be made from compet-
ing towns.

MISS LEFRANC'S WALK.
She Accomplishes Fifty Miles in Twelve
Hours.

Miss BERTHE Lefranc, pedestrienne, began
in Lawrence Hall, at eleven O'Clock this
morning, the task of walking fifty miles in
twelve hours. She ACCOMPLISHED the feat
in the given time, finishing the last mile at
eight minutes past ten o'clock, having rest
ed meanwhile In. 32m sos.
Her best time was made in the thirty
ninth mile, which she walked in On. Ass.
The fortieth mile was made in l0m.; forty
first and forty eight in I0m. l0s.; forty Sec
ond and forty sixth in l0m. 45s., and the
forty ninth and fiftieth in lin. 3Os each.
From the forty-seventh TO the forty ninth
she rested at intervals of twenty mine and
a-half minutes, and six and a-half minutes
before beginning her last half mile At
the conclusion of the walk her pulse marked
ninety eight and she was apparently not
much exhausted.
Miss Lefranc is eighteen years of age, is
five feet three inches in height, and weighs
l24 pounds. Her first walk was in Provi-
denee with May Marshall, psdestrienne, in
May last, when she walked twenty y-fve
miles in 5h, 24m. She is free, easy heel
and toe walker and has great powers Of en-
durance.-N. Y. Herald.

Bitten by a Rattlesnake.

Mrs. Palmer Abbey, of Heating
township, met with a curious accident
some days ago, which came near prov
ing fatal. She and her husband were
out picking berries, and while step
ping :over log she felt something
strike one of her limbs below the
knee. The immediate sensation was
quite painful, and she says felt as If
some one had hit her with stone. She
sat down few minutes, and finally
concluded to return to the house. In
the meantime the limb commenced
swelling. All the household remedies
known for swellings, bruises, bee
stings, &C., were used with but little
effect. There was no suspicion that
she had been bitten by venomous
reptile till some forty-eight hours af-
ter when she began to feel very sick.
Then she came down to consult DR.. H.
L. Mccoy. Upon an examination of
the almost imperceptible wound with
glass the doctor pronounced it rat
tlesnake bite. The prints of the fangs
Of the reptile were distinctly visibel
under the glass. Mrs. Abbey had Ia
ken the precaution before starting out
to put on pair of heavy woolen socks,
also pair of mems pantaloons, with
the bottom of the legs tucked inside
the socks, as a protection against the
briers and bushes, which fact was no
doubt all that saved her life. It is
well known by those who have inves-
tigated the subject that the poison of
the rattlesnake is precipitated by
means Of the lower fang, which is
shorter than the upper one. In this
case the upper and longer fang pene-
trated the outer covering and entered
the limb, while the thickness of the
covering did not permit the lower one
to penetrate far enough to deposit a
sufficient quantity of the poison to be
Immediately fatal. Without medical
treatment the result would undoubt-
edly have been fatal, and even with
the hest of treatment and care it will
be some time before Mrs. A fully re-
covers from the effects of the bite. IT
was indeed what may he called a
''close call" and it was not his snake
ships fault that 1t was not sure and
| fatal one.

after getting supper, tired and sleepy,
all hands sought their meat feather
mattress all bursting with straw"
Our camp is located, as we have be-
fore intimated, on a steep hill the
south side fronting the railroad track
by a perpendicular bluff. At this
point we are greeted ar far as the eye
can see, i'm an easterly direction by
the ruins wrought by the mob on that
ever memorable Sunday night when
the Union depot, 125 locomotives,
several hundred cars, and thousands
of dollars worth of merchandise fell
prey to the devouring element. The
trains were switched into the yard
at the outbreak of the strike, and now
the rusty trucks standing in sodlid
array on eight or ten PARALLEL tracks,
with the oil trains marked by the
great number of barrel tops OH the
track. One train was loaded with
pig iron in another place two mill.
stones have crumbled underline flame,
while in another place an iron bridge
lies warped and shapeless, the rail-
road track being warped and twisted
into a hundred different shapes. The
trees and grass on the hill forty or fifty
feet above, being scorched and black
ened. The scene is one of desolation
as though the sentinel of silence kept
watch over the ruins, and yet am
told the people of Pittsburgh rejoiced
at this wanton destruction ofproperty,
and did not interpose until the entire
city was threatened with destruction.
The incidents Of the fire as we hear
them here are numerous. Barrels of
-four were rolled up the hill side dur
ing the excitement i'm places so steep
that in quiet times person would
hardly venture unencumbered. A
citizen told me he had two friends
shot dead, neither being strikers or
participants in the mob, land one
while peaceably going to church.
Trains are running now with con-
siderable regularity and will likely
all move as usual by the end OF the
week. Large forces of men are en-
gagged removing the debris and.repair-
ing the the tracks. 'i''tE D.
1t it likely the war is about though
the troops may not he dismissed for
several weeks. All are expecting to
be sent to some other point soon,
and it is certain that portion of these
concentrated here wilr be orderen to
other places MORE ANON.
