The Fence Law, 60, in Goudeysville Township

For the Times.
The Fenco Law, &C., in Goudeysville Township.
MR. EDIroR A little ripple has been caused
in this township by the rassage of the fence
law" The opposition hold the late act of the
Legislature as unconstitutional and declare that
they will not pay any regard toit. The friends of
the measure-and their name is legion-arc ma
king oil necessary arrangements to secure all
the benefits to be derived from it. few days
ago while passing through the neighborhood
came upon two gentlemen who were cutting
few scrub old field pines," off piece of land
that never could have been cultivated without
the fence law, and supposing that they were
friends of the law hailed them with hurrah
for the stock law, when to my utter astonishment
they let loose upon the friends of the law in
general and the lnsmbers of the lower house of
the Legislature in particular, in language the
most vindictiye that it was ever my misfortune
to hear. This tornado of abuse lasted only
few moments, when it was closed by the ridicu-
lous assertion that the act had not passed the
Senate and never would.
The cotton crop of last year is about oil sold
and at n very low price at that Our people are
divided into three classes, 10 wit
1st. An extremely few who have some money
left after footing up bills.
2nd. A few who have made "tongus and buc-
kle msetn-
Srd. The large majority who are worse off
than they were twelve months ago.
The question naturally arises, how or what
are you going to do this year? Well, from
present appearances, we are going to do just
like we have been doing for six or eight years
past-buy oil we can get upon Liens, Mortgages,
&C., to make another big or cts. cotton crop,
This may sound rather harsh to Gears to politics"
but it is fact, that for the first four to six
months of every year the cultivators of the soil
are the most sanguine Of success of any class
or profession to be met with. "Air castles arise
as thick as "Robins in the Thickety roost,' only
to burst and disappear with the opening Of "col-
lecting season" Then begins the scramble
the aforesaid sanguine farmer discovering the
fact that at any other point than where he has
been accommodated is the place for him to sell his
cotton and buy his supplies. Hence SO many
Sheriff. salos under Lien, &C., executions.
Yours Truly, JOE.

TEA-GRowIHG IN THE SoUrH.-The Baltimore
Sun informs us that Mr.. NJ. Gllet Gill: of the
firm Of Martin Gillet & Co., Of Baltimore, left
that city on Wednesday upon tour Of inspec-
tion through the tea districts Of the South, for
the purpose of inquiring into the practicability
of the growth and manufacture of tea in this
country. He bears with him the f,llowing
complimentary letter from VIM. G. LeDuc,
Commissioner Of Agriculture:
To THE Growers OF TEA PLANTS IN THE SoUTH
The bearer of this, Mr.. NJ. Gillett Gill; of the
firm of Messrs. Martin Gillett g. Co.. Baltimore,
has had great experience in the manipulating of
ten, not only in China and Japan, but last spring
successfully manufactured ten Of q superior
quality from leaves grown in Washington and
South Carolina. Mr.. Gill visits the tea districts
of the South for the purpose of inquiring into
the practicability of its growth and manufacture,
and will cheerfully give valuable information to
oil interested in the growth Of the plant. l
trust this voluntary visit of Mr.. Gill in the in :
terest of American leo will be Of advantage TO
those who have devoted their attention to this
most important industry
Among the places in the South where tea plants
are grown frem shrubs sent from Washington
are Society Hill, Georgetown, Charleston, New
berry County, and Columbia, 8, c., Windsor, N
c., central Georgia, Nashville, Tenn, Lake City,
Fla, and near other points in the belt of South
ern States. Their value has never been utilized,
and tho intention Of the visit is to investigate
with view of showing that as good tea con be
grown in the South as in China.

A Sad and Painful Accident.

On Saturday last, Edward Foster, son of A.
]. Foster, a colored farmer, met with serious
accident, atMr. Garners Mill while ginning cot.
ton. 1t appears that Eddie was standing by tn Q
gin when he heard by the sound that the Gin
was getting choked. He stopped down to re-
liere the saws from underneath, and while do
ing so the saws caught his hand and cut off his
second and third finger and terribly lacerated his
hand down to the wrist We truly sympathizo
with the young man and his parents who are
most excellent people, and very highly respec-
ted. Eddie is one of the most promising young
colored men we ever knew. Industrious, gen.
tlemanly and unobtrusive in his manners toward
oil, and possessing On ardent desire to obtain .
good sound education he has employed all his
spare time from school at manual labor to OBJ
tain the means Of attending the best schools in
the whole country, and this accident is q seri
Gus impodiment to his progress.

The Lunatio Asylum.

We have received the 55th Annual Report of
the Board of Regents of the South Carolina Lu-
natic Asylum, for the fiscal year 1877-7S. From
examination we should consider it O very salts
factory exhibit Of all the transactions of the Of
icers of that institution. 1t appears from the
interesting report of the Superintendent, DR.. p
+. Griffin, that at the beginning of the year there
were BOG patients in the institu.ion--163 males
and l43 females, which was increased TO 831
at the end of the year. OF these 230 are whites
and 1Ol colored. Only 20 Of the inmates are
supported by friends, leaving 8l1 depending
upon the State for all necessary subsistence. OF
oil the inmates, the Superintendent states, only
16 white males and A females, and 8 colored
males and females are durable; whites and
blacks doubtful; 104 white males and 90 fe-
males, 43 colored males and AZ females, incura-
BILE. This table presents o sad picture, particu-
larly in the large number of incurable cases
which, the superintendent says, "can never be
discharged except by death, and many Of them,
for years TO come, must crowd the wards to the
exclusion Of recent and curable;cases." Union
has sent four patients--2 males and 2 females
during the past year. If time and space would
permit, we could present sadly Interesting sy-
nopsis Of the report, but it would necessarily
be too long for SO small paper as ours.

DEAR TraEs AS every one looks forward to
the end Of the week for the TIMES to asing them

all parts Of the world, and you tell us that
not one person in each township can DO found
willing to contribute o few lines telling of what
is going on in the various townships, will try
sand give Pea Ridge-the garden spot of.the
County-a showing in your columns
At present there is not much news up here
The few clear days lately have put the Farmers
to work-some clearing up old fields for cotton !,
others cleaning out the branches to grow corn
on the little bottoms, while others are turning
over the land with the pillow. Altogether mat
ters begin to wear the appearance of beginning
another busy year on the Ridge.
Schools are opening, but not very fouriships
Too many dead.heading on the School fund.-
We don't need emigration from foreign parts up
here, for every few days we have q wedding,
and, rs a natural consequence, On addition to
our population of q bouncing baby, in which
Pea Ridge can beat the world. If there should
be big fight, killing or two-your town is
ahead IN that-a wedding or two, . gander

Overcoats Laid Aside.

Since last Friday the weather has been more
like Spring than Winter. Fires have been put
out, overcoats and winter Undertaking have
been laid aside, and it requires but little exer
else to start the perspiration. 1t has been o
good time 70 SOW Spring Oats, and some hnve
started sbeir plows in the corn fields. Garden
and Orchard work has been pushed forward !;
the very early gardeners have to buy more seed
to put in where they have now sown. Frost
may kill and long wet Spring may rot cut tho
seed already in the ground. Spring weather is
'nighty unsartin.'

Pick up any village newspaper in the State
and notice at what price che plantations were
sold under the hammer aud who were the pur-
chasers. In most instances the purchasers have
been the merchants, who had been "running
the farmer" until the cost would no longer pay
them to do it. There is no use in saying the
farms were badly managed, or that the farmer
was obliged toborrow money at ruinous interest,
or pay high prices for his supplies. This don't
alter the fact that the farming interest is in o
bad way-that the fruits Of their labor have gone
into somebody else's pocket.
1t is fact that nearly all persons who have

If man can be pointed out now and then, who
