A match game of base ball was play
ed on tho College Green on Wcdnes-
day afternoon between the Chester
Club and the Carolina Club of Winns-
boro. A match had been played Mt
Chester couple of weeks ago, when
the Chesters won u victory by heavy
score. Naturally, therefore, the game
here excited considerable interest, and
the crowd of spectators was unusually
large. The feeling was strongly in
favor of tho Chesters-their friends
"backing" them with grcat confidence.
and they themselves being very hope
ful, to say the very least. The game
was called promptly at half past four
O'Clock, and the Carolinas, winning on
the toss, sent the Chesters to tho bt. .
On tho first inning tho Cbcsters made
three runs and the CaroIinas fvc-a
good showing for the latter. But OH
tho second and third innings they we're

reminded me Of 'ye olden time,' pre-
senting q vigorous ind healthy ap.
pearance. With one more good rain II
would make full crop. We are
greatly IN want of rain In this immc-
diate vicinity, yet cotton where well
cultivated is looking we'll. Gardens
appear to suffer for want of rainsto O
greater extent than ever knew them.
This is owing to the want of deep spadi-
ing or ploughing curly in the spring
and improper fcrtilizing in somo de-
gree. ....Why do not our gardeners use
irrlgation? This is not attcndcdiWith
much expense where well of water
with Il pump is convenient. Irriga-
tion is used in many countries with
fewer facilities than we have, even to
produce corn. We. hear the drought
is fatal in many portions Of our State,
and also in the West, as we'll as in
Texas. l notice much of the cotton
blooming near tho top-a very unfa-
yorablc mark SO early. / would;not
be surprised if the present crop of
cotton and corn did not reach hast
years in production. The wheat
crop has fallen off in the West several
million bushels, aud we may look out
for hard timoS tho ensuing year. Let
us prepare in time to meet the issue.
How is this to DC donc2 Iwould here
suggest that I have passed through
several years of drought-trom 1916
to the present timc-and would advise
planters to sow more oats and wheat
than usual, and SOW oats at different
seasons-llom August to February.
Also two or three varieties Of turnips
for winter use. Prepare the land we'll
by deep ploughing two or three times
and manure and work well. Also cut
hay wherever il is practicable. Don't
rely on Northern hay any longer.
Most Of it is worthless, and costs
money. Our crab grass is very good
for hay, and take time and NOW it
during the month Of September if cot
ton is open. Sow clover and lucerne.
Depend no Ion rcr on Western corn
and Yankee hay to feed your stock
and supply your tables. Plant less
cotton and improve your lands by
sowing grain and follow with the field
pea. This is the advice of nearly an
octogcnaran.
Let me not forget to mention my
cordial reception at Prof. Dusby's.
He invited me to his acadcmv and
showed me through. He had divided
tue school ro'im into two apartments.
lie has Il lAdy assistant--Nliss Faucet
-occupying one apartment and he the

RlDGEwAY, July 13.--On last Sat-
urttay rain fell above here, and vestcr-
day, from appearances, general rains
fell around this point, except south
east Of here, where there was only q
shower.
There were several typographical
errors in the last "dottings.' The
types made Postcll Harrison say "IIc
did not know hoW that baby was car
ricd to his house," just after having
said il was carried there on horseback.
1t should have read, he did not know
,ohy it was carried to his house. The
types made me say Ridgcway has a
large rlaning mill; it should have been
a large Nouring mill. AS to II planning
mill, DR.. Campbell has had one in
successful operation just below. here
for several years. Again, the types
said on irrcprcssiblc mad dog had
made its appearance. Now, accord
ing to Mrssrs. G. and D.. in their arti-
clcs published in TIE News AND HER-
AID as to the gender Of the and an.
the masculine q wish to be respect
fuD article IUr. The should have been
printed instead Of the feminine article
Lddy IN, ard the line would have
read "Ihe irrcprcssiblc mad dog"
&c.
In my last I mentioned the fact that
in and about Ridgeway there were
four Caucasian octogcnarims. Inow
chronicle the fact that last week two
colorcd people were placed in their
last resting abode. Esther Pool, aged
112 years, died near here. And old
Ben Williams in his 98th year breath
ell his last the same week. Old Ben
had been afflicted with "hvrUcritical
rheumatism" U do not know if the
disease can be found in medical works
but the name is appropriate to the
casc). from 1850 to February, 1865.
His legs were perfectly usclrss>1md he
could only draghi insclf about with his
hands; but sherman and freedom
acted like a charm. AS soon as Ben
found out that he was free, lie struttcd
up to his master and informed him
! that he was well, could work and was
able to support himself. Old Ben got
q icH-handed blessing aud departed.
| have, since 1865, seen him walking
into town from his home, some miles
distant, with several shuck collars and
two or more cotton baskets swung
over his shoulders. need not add
after the above that Ben was thor
ough Radical from principle.
Tho thermometer in the shade 102
degrees and in the sun IA degrees,
has sent several persons from Ridge
way and its suburbs to seek cooling

What II Statutory Intemperancei

What is meant by the expression in
the statute, "Intemperate habits?"
Habit is defined to be '.fixed or estab-
lished custom; ordinary course of con-
duct" It need not be the uniform or
unvarying rule, but to be habit it
must be the ordinary course of conduct
tho general rule or custom. Itmay
have exceptions. Exceptions do not
destroy q rule. But unless, when &C.
casion offers, there is disposition, or
probable inclination, to drink to ex.
cess, Incorporate habits cannot be pre-
dicted. If sobriety is the rule, and oc-
casional intoxication the exception,
then the case is not brought within the
statute. On the other hand, if the rule
or habit is to drink to intoxication
when occasion offers, and sobriety or
abstinence is the exception. then the
charge of Incorporate habits is estab-
lished. Now, to make out this charge,
it is not necessary that the custom shall
be an every day rule. There are per-
sons whose custom is to remain sober
while at home, and who. when in COM
pany or visiting the town or village,
generally drink to excess, although &C.
casionally they abstain and remain So
Der. lnsuch case, drunkenness is shown
to be the rule, or ordinary course Of
conduct; and to sell or give to such
person, knowing him to be such, spir-
ituQus. vinous, or malt liquors, is a vi.
olation of the Observation-Disclosures Su.

Permanent Pastures.

The grasses in a permanent pasture
must be chosen with the object offurnish-
ing as near as possible q constant sue
cession of bloom. To this end there
must be variety. Variety is necessary
to fill up the spaces and form a conf
plete turf or sward. Every plant throws
off waste matter which is poisonous to
itself but fertiliz;ng to another variety.
This is the reason why pastures with
but one or two varieties Of grasses soon
run out-why land becomes clover-sick
for instance, and refuse to produce that
which at first it produced in luxuriance.
This is the principle that underlies the
rotation of crops, a practice but little
understood in this country, but a
matter of profound interest to the
higher agriculture of the old world.
We have not the great variety OF
grasses adapted to this climate that are
found in England, but have enough to
to furnish an almost constant succession
of bloom, and fresh luxuriant foliage.
Suppose now that we are selecting
seed for permanent pasture, we first
inquire for that which will produce the
earliest bite, and our choice isnot blue
grass but orchard-grass. 1t grows
early and rapidly and stands close
cutting. Next comes blue grass, which
rushes into bloom from the middle to
the last of May, and then gives way to
other grasses for the time: Tue next
grass that claims precedence on the
soil and hence in our selection is white
clover, which has the gift of continu-
ance, and throws up constant success
sion of bloom till fall, if there be sufficient
moisture. Next the first crop of red
clover asserts its rights, followed closely
by the bloom Of the orchard-gr For
this reason it must have place and q
prominent one in the pasture. We
believe we should exclude the mammoth
clover, as it's dense. woody growth and
large leaves are in danger Of smother
ing out the fine grasses, but q little
alsike might be used, if only to furnish
bee pasture and q bloom between the
first and second crops of red. Next we
should select timothy, which though
not q tirst-class pasture grass. yet must
have its place in q permanent pasture
for July bloom, and also occupy the
ground till other grasses take hold. In
August and September we can de-
pend on the second bloom of red clover,
and in October we will be rejoiced to
find blue grass coming forward grandly,
and in spite Of the frost holding its own
to the end of the growing season. and if
we permit it, laying up the materials
for winter pasture. There are three
other grasses worthy of experiment to
say the least; mellow fescue. or as it is
called here /" English bluegrass" red
top and fowl meadow grass. We have
not had sufficient experience with either
to recommend them. Red-top will un-
doubtedly do better on wet land than
any other grass, but it is said by some
to spread over arabic land to the ex-
clusion of moro valuable grasses.-
