somsthing on Feeding Oats.

Oats are Justly advocated as the
grain above all Others adapted TO
horses, and tits true that for young
horses and those used on the road
there is probably nothing equal to
oats; but they ought to be crushed or
brusied and not ground. In fact, I
think all grains are better fed in this
way, and it seems strange that there
are no good American oat crushers,
They seem to me simple afairs-as I
have seen them in English stables "A

diameter, made strong and have aEper-

having similar face. These two
wheels are greared to turn together,
and the oats are slowly fed in by a
hopper. Good oats, when crushed, are
nearly round, and as bis, asa silver3 cent

q, tie medicine that can be employed cleans
ing the stomach and bowels, and even the
blood. In small doses of one pill day,
they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS PILLS have been known for
more than quarter of a century, and have
obtained worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs of the
body, and are so composed that obstruc-
tons within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have baffled the best of
human skill. While they produce power
4ul effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. BY
their aperient action they grippe much less
than the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not infamed.
They reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness. f.r....
sL4 Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither caiomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh,
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.

ENCOUNTER WITH A SAVAGE Doc
Mr.. w. @. Rhodes was the unfortunate
victim of an encounter with large and
savage dog on Sunday afternoon last, and
was terribly bitten in both of his hands,
in his left arm and his head. The dog
is certainly the moe. serocious known to
this community, and of large size. He
was raised by Mr.. w. T.. Dargan. who
finding that he could not manage him,
some months ago gave him to Mr.. J. RI.
James. MIR. James has kept him in
close confinement, and has not dared 70
go in reach of him for weeks at time
himself. Inst Sunday afternoon while
his master was absent the dog managed
- slip the collar and get outside of Tho
premises. Seeing the monster on the
street, and fearing that he might attack
some lady or child, Mr.. Rhodes coaxed
him back into the yard and thought to
fasten him, when he sprang upon Mr..
Rhodes and hurled him 70 the ground.
Mr.. r. defended himself as best he could.
until Mr.. A. j. Pearce came to his rescue
and shot the dog, wounding him severely
but not killing him. Mr. Rhodes was
attended by DR.. Cardozo, and is now, we
sre glad to say, neutrality-suspicious.

GEN. MART GARy.-Tho Beaufort
Crescent says: .'n
"IWe can never again expect to have
another Hampton. Perhaps Gary would
come next to him in arousing universal
gush. Unfortunately his individuality
has made him an Eagle hut Ear aa~~s C
peck at. He who is next heir TO supreme
power, says Tacitus, is always hated by
those who actually WELD it. Gary has
made too many Others great for himself
to share greatness with them"
1t does us real, genuine, whole.souled
good when we read anything laudatory
of this noble old hero. Mart Gary is q
trump. He has never been in any emer-
gency that required She exercise of great
power, but what his cool nerve, his bril-.
liant genius and his true manhood
showed themselves. Too muci, good
cannot be said of him. DAVIS may psck
at him, but tho grand old Eagle win yet

Senator Conkling proposes 10 devote
his entire time in the next Senate to the
determination of the shot gun policy
from the society and politics of this day
He will henccfort, be more vigorous
than ever in denouncing the South for
introducing into the nineteenth century
such barbarous policy of enforcing ones
wishes. Ho will speak from experience
on this question, for tho intolerable evil
has extended even into loysl little Rhode
Island herself, and tho consequential
Senator from New York, with hi, turkey
gobbler strut. has been made the victim
of tie Mississippi plan by ex.G Governor
sprague, who drove the pompous Senator
from his house at the muzzle of an un-
civilized shot gun.
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1879-08-21

Not long ago Senator Conkling had a
difficulty in the Senate with Senator
Lamar, who charged mira with falschood.
On that occasion he said: "Nothing ex-
cept tho fact that this is the Senate
would prevent my denouncing him as q
blackguard and q coward. The rules
and proprieties Of the Senate are the
only restraint upon me-" A few days
since he had difficulty with ex-senator
Sprague Of Rhode Island, the particulars
of which are given on another page. In
that instance he thought: Nothing ex-
cept the fact thss you have o shot gun
would prevent my staying in your house
despite your command to depart. The
rules and proprieties Of action in the
presencs Of douhle-barrel shot gun are
the only restraint upon my longer So
journ here" Unfortunately, however,
for B"'coe thero is always something
which prevents him from doing anything
good or brave. His recent exploits will
probably give his Presidential aspirations
a very black eye indeed, and viii posi-
bly, exert u considerable influence against
his power and control in New York.
