fixed by law. was not present at that meeting,
but have understood that our Senator, though
not embraced within the terms of the resolution,
voluntarily pledged himself to make payment
into tho County Treasury as the members to be
elected wero requested TO do; and We have
further understood that all of the candidates
for the Legislature made the pledge as requested
To have publicly declared not to have done SO
would have defeated those who wero successful

session was five dollars per day besides mileage

wore smaller than at Walhalla, and tho iuries
were discharged on Thursday at noon, ono
jury being kept ovor until Friday morning to
try case set for that day, but which was
finally continued.
1n inc Sessions only three cases were
tried, ono for stealing corn from the field;
verdict guilty; sentences; Imprisonment in the
Penitcntary for ono year at hard lubor; one
for living in adultery; verdict guilty; sen.
tence, Imprisonment in tho county Jail for six
months und fine of fifty dollars; and one
tor gambling; verdict not guilty. Tho last
named person had no attorney and came Of
clear. The first aud last named were olored
men and tho other white man. Several
cases of misdemeanor were continued. On
tho civil docket only few small cases were
tried, though good deal of equity business
was disposed Of.
On the way going and returning we noticed
the crops of both corr and cotton were light.
We also heard while there that corn On low
lands on Twelve Mile, Keowee and Seneca
Rivers had boen seriously injured by high
water, and thut breadstuffs next year, BY
reason Of this and the short crop on uplands,
would be scarce aud high. We have also
heard since our return from Tugaoo River.

The Stock Law.

MEssRs. EpIToRs Will you allow me the
use of your columns to discuss the very
important question Of the day, viz: the stock
| law.
Ia order to make a radical change in the
management of State or county it is first
necessary to expose the defects of such
system, and then by fair and iudicious means,
show how they may be remcdicd. In this
| way you may persuade the rcoplc to adopt
measures which when first proposed, they
would spurn tho iden Of accepting. In apr
| approaching this subject which affects tho
| interest and prosperity of this county, do
not wish to drive any man to adopt my course
without first considering what he is doing,
and AT the same time informing himself upon
tho subject, so that he may cast an intclli.
gent vote. We invite u thoroueh discussinn
through your columns, and us a farmer, would
not advise any one knowingly to do anything
contrary to his interest.
In the first place l will attempt to shaw
how We may benefit ourselves in dollars aud
| cents. Wo will suppose n man wishes to
open new farm and purchases $50 ncros of
land in tho woods which we propose to rlnce
100 acres in cultivation, leaving so in the
woods. Under tho present system suppose
we clear up fields Of 25 acres each, all con-
tignons to each other. and separated by a
| GROSS fence. 10 enclose this land will re-
| qnire 1900 rails to make q lawful fence,
which will cost, when put up, $40; Tho
clearing Of tho land, at SO por acre, $500,
equal to $40; stock to roam at large under
tho new system we would enclose n rnstnre
OF 25 acres for tho stock, which would cost
$52; clearing tho land tho aamc as above,
$500 equals 1852. Total saving in operating
the farm, 81 iS. which amount put Mt interest
at ! per cent for ten years would amount to
$500. At the expiration Of ten years your
fence would have to be entirely renewed or
an nnnnal outlay to keep it in repair equal
to the first cost. 10 the first instance for the
above period it would cost for total ropairs
Sl7O and in tho second plan $52 leaving in
favor Of fencing the stock $ll8 moro; hence a
net balance for ton years Of 5000 and liz
equals 1913. 10 this may also be added the
produce that would grow upon tho land occu-
pied by tho fenco, and if planted in cane
each year and made into molasscs would
supply the whole place bountifully for IL
months.
In this now aystcm we would start with
faw stock, and take good care thom, improve
them ns we could, increase thoir number

Farmers, Reflect on Your Loss.

Until within the LAST few years 1t was not
attempted to cultivate rice anywhere except
in low country, where the lands could be
readily dyked and overfowed when the
crop needed water, but it has been proved
by practical experiments that it can be
grown in the high country to advantage,
remunerative crops of it having been pro-
duced in Chattahooche valley, in upper
Georgia, at an elevation Of some 900 feet
above sea level, and right at the foot Of the
mountains. The Spartanburg IS. CO.
Herald of September Sd, says: I'm some
sections of Anderson county it is said there
will be made this year 100 bushels of rice
to the acre" Think of this One hun
dred bushels Of rice, worth $3.50, from one
acre. where land can be bought for less
than 81 per acre. These lands produce
equally we'll tobacco and cotton, all good
paying crops, and will grow any of the ce-
reals, fruits and grasses that can be pro-
duced in the North in equal quantities per
acre with lands North that are held at 800
and over per acre. We instancea in a pre-
vious issue of this paper a crop of wheat
that was taken from seven acres Of land by
a Mr.. Latham, in Spartanburg county, S.
c., measuring $50 bushels, an average OF
81 bushels per acre. This cannot be ex-
celled any where North. 1t is an exception,
but can be made the rule with the same
care and attention paid to Northern farm
ing. The Georgia State Manual" COM
piled by Prof. Thomas N. Jaynes, gives
scores of instances in Georgia, where from
800 to as high as $3.50 worth Of crop was
taken from one acre the same season. With
proper tillage it is contendcd that a much
higher standard of crop could be obtained
from lands in the South than can be reach
cd in the North the Southern climate add
ing much to the efforts of the farmer there.
During the year of 1873 the Southern
States are estimated to have produced 81
200. 600 bales of cotton, an increase of $685.
577 bales from 1877; 2l2, POO hogsheads Of
sugar, an increase of "a, pa hogsheads; and
$4,000, 900 pounds of tobacco, an increase
Of Ia, 900, 600 pounds. These are the three
great agricultural staples Of the Southern
States.
