In is indeed astonishing to witness
the power of one master-mind over
the affairs of nation. Take, for eX-
ample, the history of Europe, for the
last dozen years. One man sits at the
checker board of European politics,
and emperors and kings and princes
are moved about like so many puppets.
He plays bold game, but an entirely
successful one. He DEGREES the unfit
cation of Germany, with Russia as the
governing power, and Austria is made
to 'sstep down and OUT from a SUI
premacy it has exercised since, in 1913.
Rudolf of Hapsburg was chosen En-
peror of Germany, by the aid of the
very family that now causes the hui
initiation of Francis Joseph Napo-
leon III dares to cross swords with
him, and France lies bleeding at his
feet, begging for mercy. He be-
friends his Slavonic neighbor on the
East, and Russia provokes war against
Turkey. Austria and England bristle
with rage, and would fain assist their
former ally; but our checker player
quietly, but firmly. says, Hands off, =
and England loses her prestige as a
continental power, while Austria is
given another lease of life. OF the Five
Great Powers of Europe, three--Aus-
tria, France and England have been
compelled to acknowledge themselves
beaten, both in war and i'll diplomacy !;

A TEXTBOOK bill. similar to the one
which passed the Senate, last winter,
has been introduced by Senator An
dersOn. As the Madison publishers
are not mentioned as the prospective
beneGciaries, there dosen't seem to
be anE body particularly interested in
the passage of the bill; hence it will
probably remain in the lands of the

to prevent its passage this winter.

Mr.. EDITOR: have piece of rather
thin and broken woodland which appears
peculiarly adapted to the growth of
white-oak; and for twenty years have
been cutting timber from this land with
special reference to promoting the growth
and development of the white-oak trees /;
and I now have forest of twenty or
twenty-five acres in which white-oak is
the predominant growth. 1t has furn-
ished for several years fine pasture for
my own and my neighbors' hogs, but this
year it does not happen to be included in
any of my pastures, and is consequently
unenclosed.
I have observed for several weeks past
that the crop of acorns on said land was
very large, and for the past two weeks
have gathered and fed them to my fatten
ing hogs and milch COWS with the most
satisfactory results. I find that a brisk
hand can easily pick up bushel in an
hour; and, having heard all my life that
white-oak and post-oak acorns were as
good as corn, I have paid close attention
to the feeding of them, and my impress
sion is that bushel of acorns boiled is
rather better than half bushel of corn
I am feeding fourteen hogs, and their
daily ration is half bushel corn and
from one to one and half bushels acorns,
with occasionally boiled pumpkins and
turnips by way of change. I have never
seen hogs fatten more rapidly.
The lessons I have learned from this
experiment are: first, that in case of a
short corn crop l have good substitute
at home; and, secondly, that this piece
of poor land is the most valuable piece Of
land on my premises. am satisfied that
the crop of acorns now on the land will
more than double the quantity of corn ii
would make in an average season with
the best cultivation, and have now the
promise of regular annual income fiom
the same source without any expense
whatever. The increased value Of the
timber, which was the object of my ex'
pertinent, has become secondary con.

LARGE YIELD OF SORGHUM.

Me. EDITOR: Mr.. 3. L. Johnson, who
resides near Stantonville, about three and
one-half miles from this place, informs me
that during this season he made all enor-
mously large yield of juice from some cane
grown by Mr.. Marshall Green, one of his
neighbors. He ground eight stalks of cane,
which made one and one-fourth gallons of
juice. This yield was such an unusually
large one that he hesitated to tell twas
afraid of straining his veracity-but after
wards he ground eight stalks more, and
Matthew Breazeale, Esq, held the pot and
he again made the same amount. There
were four other gentlemen present at the
time, all of whom will vouch for the above
statement. The cane was raised on piece
of old ground just taken in, if I understood
Mr.. Johnson rightly. The rows were three
feet apart, and the cane stood eighteen
inches apart in the drill. This would give
seventy rows, seventy yards long, or ten
thousand nine hundred and ninety hills
per acre. Divide this by eight, the number
of hills that made five quarts, and we have
thirteen hundred and seventy-eight, which,
being reduced to gallons, gives us seventeen
hundred and twenty-five gallons of juice
per acre. I am informed that it usually
takes from six to eight gallons of juice to
make one Of syrup, which would leave still
the enormous SUM of two hundred and
eighty-seven gallons of sorghum. Mr..
Johnson is perfectly reliable, besides he
backs his statement with the testimony Of
Mr.. Breazeale and others.

Re.ODening q Th0rOushfarc.

In order to guard against results utterly
subversive of health, it is absolutely essen
tial that the grand thoroughfare or avenue
of the system, the bowels, should be re-
opened as speedily as possible when they
become obstructed. If they are not, the
bile is misdirected into the blood the liver
becomes torpid; viscid bilious matter gets
into the stomach, and produces indigestion
headaches ensue, and other symptoms are
produced, which prolongation of the eI-
citing cause only tends to aggravate. The
aperient properties of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters constitute most useful agent in
overcoming construction of the bowels, and
promoting a regular habit of body. 1t is

The colored men of hbbcville County,
who voted with their white ncighbors and
friends on last Tuesday for good govern
ment and contentment, are much happier
than the colored voters of this County, who
were deludcd into the attempt to raise
race issue in voting for the Radical candi-
dates simply because the white people were
running the Democratic ticket. The col
ored men in Abbeville were sensible enough
to get on the Winning siGe, because it was
the right side, while in this County they
were on the wrong side and were badly de-
feated. OF course they feel badly, and we
hope in future they will profit by the ex-
ample of their wiser brethren in Abbeviile,
and vote the straight-out Democratic ticket.
There was quite large amount of valua-
BILE real estate sold at p;:alic outcry in An
derson on last Monday, and the prices it
commanded demonstrate the fact that this
class of property has made O considerable
advance in valuation. by comparing the
sales of this month with those of the same
month last year, it will be seen that the
increase is about twenty to twenty-five per
cent This is very favorable indication,
and those of our citizens who are large
landholders have especial cause to be in
good spirits.
The amount of cotton brought to this
place on last Thursday is doubtless the
largest ever known to be offered for sale by
the original owners in one day before. The
public square was crowded with wagons
from early in the morning until late in the
afternoon, and at one time the string of
wagons waiting for their turn at the depot
reached to the Court House The whole
number amounted to .footr hundred bales,
number of which were brought from across
the Savannah. This is glory enough for
one day.
The schedule of the Greenville & Column
bia Railroad will be changed on and after
next Monday, so as to arrive in Anderson

will be made in the down trains schedule.

THE THE has C0ME.

A certain citizen of the town of Anderson,
who has never been Democrat, except in
profession, since reconstruction, has at last
announced that the time has come when
the people will speak, and the party organ
ization will 10 longer be supported, and
announces that he will no longer be muz-
zled. In other words, that independent
candidates will be the order of the day two
years hence. This speech was no doubt
uttered under the belief that the specious
card of Mr.. Campbell would be the rally
ing cry for the opponents cf good govern
ment all over the State as it has been in
Charleston, but the defeat of Mr.. Campbell
will no doubt keep the muazle of an indig
nant public opinion on all the ambitious
nondescripts who would sacrifice good gov
ernment in South Carolina for the purpose
of aggrandizing themselves. Under the DEM
ocratic organization no man is muzzled in
South Carolina, unless he chooses to muzzle
himself by staying out of the Clubs. If
there is anything wrong in the management
of the Clubs, any man can expose the error
and the Democrats Of the ounty or State
will cheerfully correct it. If there is wrong
in the Clubs it cannot be righted by an alli-
.ance with che corrupt Radicals of the State,
and the man who would seek such alliance,
either straightout or as an Independent, is
public enemy, and deserves unmittigated
condemnation. The people Of South Caro-
lima cannot consent to restoration of Rad
ical domination, nor can they allow the
State to fall into the hands of set of polit-
cal pirates who care for no principles, and
therefore properly call themselves indepen-
dents.
This being the case, we cgree with the
gentleman referred to in saying the time
has come when the people will speak, and
they will speak in utter condemnation of
any man or set of men who attempt to dis.
rupt the organization of the patriots of
South Carolina, just as the people of
Charleston have spoken with regard to Mr..
Campbell

A CARD.

Mr.. EDITOR: While am grateful for the
kindness intended, 1 am greatly surprised
that any votes should have been cast for me
on yesterday. Ny position has been definite
and pronounced throughout the entire can
vass: that the Primary Election should de-
termine the candidates to be voted for on
November 5. had so spoken before and
after the Primary Election, and had also
so said in conversation whenever there was
any allusion to any possible division of
sentiment. I would be mortified at the re-
suit had my position been in the slightest
degree doubtful. I deem it but justice to
myself to state that my well-known posi-
tion has not in any manner been changed.

The Temperance Standard has the follow
ing paragraphs about the election in Will
liamston, in this County:
"The colored voters who voted for Parker
refused to vote for Wade Hampton, or any
of tie State nominees. Radicalism is not
dead with the colored folks. III, only way
to bring them to knowledge Oh what is to
their interest as well as to the interest OF
the white man, is to let them rely upon
their own resources for support. My
lands are my own, and can employ whom
| wish to cultivate them"
"The colored gents of Williamson and
vicinity voted almost unanimously for w. Il.
Parker. Let Parker furnish them lands to
cultivate, provisions clothing aud medical
aid when their families are i'll want and arc
sick"
The application Of this rule 10 some ol
the leaders about Anderson and other parts
of the County would do much to put q
stop to the zeal with which such rascals at
tempt to array race against race.
