South Carolina has one of the largest
colored temperance organizations in the
country. and it is accomplishing Il grand
work for their race. The order is known a>
Good Templars, anu has Il membership OF
&C, 900 persons. The reports as to its pres
ent condition and future prospects from the
various lodges in the State to the recent
meeting of the State Grand Lodge were
very encouraging They have q small
monthly paper published by colored man
at Columbia, which, if properly managed,
can do q great deal towards furthcring the
cause among the colored people.
Next Monday is the last day for paying
the first instal,nent of State and County
taxes. Those who do not pay now can pay
in October, but then there is penalty of
five per cent. upon the half which should
be paid now. That is five per cent for five
months, or all interest at the rate Of twelve
per cent. Those who can pay had better do
so within the time mentioned. The Trca>u-
rer of this County had collected up to last
Tuesday night 4,562 90, leaving balance
of about sl7 500 of the first instalment still
unpaid. The amount of the Savannah
Valley Railroad tax collected, $212.65; the
amount Of the Atlantic and French Broad
Valley tax, $28.15.

State and Congressional Nominations.


Mr.. Ep1roR: The wisdom of the action
of the County Convention, in recommend
ing no nominations by the June Convcn-
ton, is becoming more and more apparent
every day. But our delegates may not be
able to control the nomination of the State
ticket, because other portions of the State
may think differently. But in regard to
Congressional nominations, the delegates
should absolutely refuse to make any nom-
nations whatever. We are evidently on
the eve of All exciting canvass in this Con-
gressional District, and it is due Mr.. Aiken,
our present representative in Congress, who
has so faithfully served us for the last four
years, and who is even now, at this very
moment, and has been for many months,
standing manfully at tile post of duty, that
he should be allowed ample time to vindi-
cate his public career from the assaults
which have been made upon it. 1t is no
less due his opponent, Mr.. Orr, that he
should have equal opportunity to present
his claims upon the suffrages Of the people
before any nominations are made. Not
only should no nominations be made at the
present time, but the nomination for Con-
gresham should be referred back to the
people to be determined by primary elec-
ton. This done, and the verdict will be
satisfactory to all.
FAIR PLAY.

"Means' Grass"

Mr. EDITOR: Will you, or some Of your
agricultural readers, be good enough to give
US m article on the nature, growth, hay
making qualities, or any other useful infor-
nation pertaining to means GRASP"
To begin the investigation, propose to
give you briefly the history of single
plant, leaving the conclusions to those most
interested. About the 18th of April, 1879,
1 observed from my seat in the car near
Allston, where we had stopped moment,
q single stalk of Means Grass" about
seven inches tall. Leaving my seat hastily
I drew it from its place, without bringing
with it single root. 1t broke off above
all the roots After showing it MS spcci-
men of that grass to several gentlemen on
board, young friend politely rolled it in
bit of newspaper, wet it aud laid it on the
watcrstand, where it remained until we
reached Anderson. The next morning it
was planted with some care in my garden,
where it grew and ilourshcd, without any
other labor or attention. except to pull the
grass and weeds from about it. In short
time it not only threw out roots from the
main stem, but put up new stems from
these lateral roots until it covered about
two and half feet square, and matured
seventy full grown heads, about six feet
high. l saved all the seed, cutting each
head as it began to ripcn, carefully avoid
ing the dropping Of loose seeds to spring up
when and where might not desire to cX
tend the crop. Early this spring every root
remaining in the ground during the winter
appeared to have received new impulses OF
life and vigor, and by the 18th Of April had
grown up to about knee high. then cut
and fed some to horses and cows, which
devoured it greedily. The second growth
is now over half-ies high, and will be
ready to cut again next week. While very
young it resembles the growth of a stalk of
dwarfcd common corn, and afterwards re.
scmblcs growing millct, with long blades,
and soft, crisp, juicy, canc-likc stem.
Very productive and exceedingly prolific.
My observation of its nature, growth and
fine qualities for feeding stock convinces
] me That it is beyond question a fine forage

grass. But its great tendency to monopn-
lizc and sprca'l itse'f-by ro6t and scc'l-
over adjoining lands, prompts luc to ca'ltioI'
farmers against its free cultivation on the
farm. Judging from the growth and ex-
pansion of my stalk, consider it capable
of becoming more odious pest than Ber-
muda grass.
Since my practical misgivings in the
propagation Of this crop rastrains me from
extending its culture for the present, permit
ME herewith to turn over to your disposal
my first crop of means Grass" seed.

The Savannah Valley Railroad Survey.

The Savannah Valley Railroad Survey.
The survey of the Savannah Valley Rail-
road is progressing rapidly, and the route,
as far as the corps had proceeded up to Sat
urday night, is reported to be exceedingly
favorable. After leaving the corporate
limits of the town, we understand that for
twelve miles no cut or embankment of over
six feet has been met, and in nearly every
instance the necessary cuts and fills will be
yery short, so much so that Chief Engineer
Lee says it is the finest route for railroad
he has ever surveyed, except one on the
coast, where the ground was almost perfect
" level the whole way. In the distance
mentioned no stream, not even spring
branch, is crossed. In conversation with
President Latimer and some of the Direc-
tors. we learn that they intend grading the
road as far as the taxes collected will go
during the idle time of the summer, when
the days are long and labor will be very
cheap. They have information that labor
can be hired at that season of the year
cheaper than convicts can be clothed ana
e,arded, and will make their contracts in
q such way as to ensure the money extending
os far as possible. They have offers to take
nort;ons of the route under contract at
verv advantageous rates, and if enough tax
ia paid in a considerable portion of the
grading in this County will be completed
this summer. We therefore hope all per.
sons who can pay the first instalment Of
their railroad taxes will do SO at once.
They will save FIVE per cent. Of this first
tor and at the same time will confer Il
oreat benefit on the railroad. 1t will,
therefore, be mutually advantageous to
both parties. The time for paying the first
,nstalment of this tax in the County ex-
n;res on next Monday, and in the town Of
Anderson it expires OH the 18th of June.
