Winter Effects Of the Drought.

It is often thought that we are learn
ing from year to year; but the conduct.
or Of newspaper, beyond most 9th
ers, knows how slowly the world prof
its by the labors of discoveries. From
time to time. however, we can refer to
new matters in season, as the knOwl-
edge can be made available, and in this
way the newspaper can be made
teacher as well.
Among the knowledge gained in re-
cent years is the truth that the effects
of q drought on vegetation is not al
ways Immediately apparent. Trees,
which seem to get through the sum-
mer struggle remarkably well, will often
live several years afterwards and yet
die. The reason of this, Invested of all
technical language, is, that though not
killed, the vital condition is lowered,
and thus degree of cold, Or any unfa-
vorable circumstances, which under
ordinary conditions the plant would
easily resist, is too much for it, and the
tree dies.
We have had this season one of the
most trying times in the drought line
ever experienced. Hence we may make
use of this knowledge wherever we have
particularly valuable trees thatit is worth
while taking q little trouble to pre-
serve. What is called life or the vital
principle in plants, is simply food
changed into that character. and thus
by giving food we strengthen life.
Therefore. there is no better way TO
help a half-dried tree to get through
the winter than by giuing it manure.
Spread thin around such trees as soon
as may be after reading this. It may
be seen that as there will be no more
leaf-growth or growth of branches this
season, there will be no use putting on
manure now. But this is not what ex-
perience teaches. 1t is found that the
roots are strengthened; the whole vital
power increased by the top-dressings
around weak trees in the fall as we
recommended; and as great old farm
writer once said. 50 grain of practice is
worth q whole ton of theory" Ever
green hedges especially will be found
benefited by q top dressing of manure.

Dawes, wrote letter to the Republican
caucus, asking the party to proceed to
executive business, and calling on the
friends of the administration to vote for
an executive session at once. This ex-
traordinary letter has had the effect of 4
dynamite explosion in the Republican
camp, and The confusion is probably as
great as that which exists in routed
army. The party was in hopelessly
divided condition before the reception of
this letter, and now the crisis has burst
upon them. The President has decided
to give Mr.. Conkling no further time to
fortify for the fight over Robertson, and
the battle will begin. Where the end
will be, or who is to be victorious de-
pends largely upon the wisdom with
which the Democratic party is handled.
The struggle will be interesting, and in
all probability will have very potent
influence upon the future course of poll
tics in the United States.

The Star Route Frauds.
WASHINGTON. April 2S.

A table of the Star routes, which are
now the subject of investigation, shows
the manipulation Of ninety.three routes
out of 1925, whereby the annual cost of
the ninety.three routes was raised be.
tween July /, 1878, and January /, 1880,
from S727, ,1l9 to 81, ,802,214. The regular
appropriation for Star route service for
the year ending June 80, 1880, was S.
100000. Of this amount 50, ,S02, ,214 was
absorbed by the ninety.three routes EN-.
braced in the table, leaving s3,097, 1856
for the remaining 1882 routes. The
frauds seem to have been mainly in con.
nection with the routes in Louisiana,
Texas, Indian Territory, Kansas, Ne
braska, Dakota, Montana, Wyoming,
Colorado. New Mexico, Arizona, Utah,
Idaho, Oregon, Nevada and California.
The rates of increase obtained by con-
tractors in many of these cases are enor-
nous. One route in Indian Territory
was swelled from Sc 900 to $3.50, 900; one
in Dakota from $2,350 to $4,000; one
in Wyoming from Sll 900 to 100000; one
in Colorado from So, 800 to $8,133, ETC., etc.
In considering the aggregate increased
pay shown by the table, it should be
borne in mind that the increase extends
over the remainder of the contract term,
the full term being four years. Assum:
ing that three years is the average period
for which the increased pay would run
on the ninety-three routes described, the
aggregate of the arbitrary awards on
these routes would be Sc, ,275, 1886.

The Charleston Canal.

The work on the Charleston Canal is
progressing steadily and satisfactorily.
Capt. Green, of the United States Engin-
eer Corps, who has the work in charge,
says that cut has been made from the
Ashley River eight hundred feet by
seventy.five feet wide, and eight feet
deep at low water. The channel now
extends as far as the island near the
point of the Deyereux farm. The quay,
which commences at the western extrem-
ity of the Devereux farm, has been built
out two hundred feet towards the island.
The whole length of this wharf will be
one thousand feet and the work upon it
is progressing at the rate of about sixty
to seventy feet week. Just at this
time, however, the work of dredging has
been temporarily suspended, owing to
the necessary removal of the dredge to do
some work on the eastern side of the city.
The grading for the reception ofthe South
Carolina Railroad track will be com.
menced next week. The track will cross
the land of tho late NJ. P. O'Connor, a
distance of about 200 yards, and will then
proceed through Simmons street down to
and across the marsh, a distance Of 900
feet, and then on to the quay, out to
point where there will be IL feet of water
at low tide. 1t is expected that if no
unlocked for delays occur the track will
be laid and everything will be in running
order by the 1st of June next. The en-.
tire length ofthe new piece of road will
be about one mile and three.quarters.
Simmons street, a distance of three
quarters of mile, is already prepared for
the reception of the track.-Neps and
Courier.

TOWN MEETING.

There was meeting of the citizens Of
the Town of Anderson in the Court
House on last Tuesday afternoon to hear
the report of the delegates from this
place to the railroad meeting in Winston,
N. c., on the 22nd ult. The meeting
was largely attended, and evinced a great
interest in the proposed extension Of the
Virginia Midland Railroad. The report
of the delegation was heard, and the
meeting provided the arrangements for
such surveys by this point as may be me-
eessary. Anderson is fully alive to the
importance of securing this extension,
and with the inducements which she will
offer feels hopeful that she will be able
TO obtain the road.

Governor Hagood has offered n reward
of two hundred dollars piece for the
arrest and conviction of the parties
engaged in the recent lynching Of the
negro woman charged with barn burning
in Laurcns county. There were some
twenty-five persons engaged in the affair,
and consequently the reward offered
would amount to five thousand dollars,
should all Of the participants engaged in
the crime be brought to justice. This
decided step on the part Of the Governor
is proper and commendable one. The
lynching was IN outrage, and the public
should be shown that such crimes can
not be committed with impunity. Gov.
ernor Hagood does not intend that South
Carolina shall be ruled by mob law dur
ing his term of Office.

The Washington Republican, Of which
Mr.. Gorham is the editor, is the organ
for Brady and his friends in the matter
of charges of corruption in the manage.
ment of the star route postal service, and
it has not only defended Brady, but has
very plainly and vigorously attacked the
President and his administration to such
an extent that Mr.. Garfield is bent on
revenge. He has expressed himself to
the administration Senators as desiring
that Gorham should be withdrawn as
the caucus nominee for Secretary of the
Senate. The President also went so far
as to say that he would feel it to be q
personal insult for Gorham to be elected
Secretary of the Senate after what had
transpired. Thus another family quarrel
has arisen in the first two months of the
new administrations experience. At
this rate there will be very little peace
and harmony in the Republican party,
and President Garfield will prove more
disastrous to its prospects than Mr.. Hayes,
with all of his faults. The Democrats,
however, will gain by the conflicts which
are brewing, and the republic will be
safer than with q united administration
party.

A RIOT NEAR SAVANNAH, Ca
Savannah, Hay IA row occurred
among a crowd of negroes, fifteen or
more, on the bank of the canal mile
from the city. The parties were engaged
in gambling and dispute arose over the
cards. Pistols were drawn and a general
fusilade followed. Patrick Reagan, a
very worthy citizen, who was passing on
his way to his pasture to get bis cows,
was struck in the heart and killed in
stantly. His body was brought to his
home in this city. Great excitement and
indignation have been aroused. Nearly
fifteen hundred persons soon collected at
the scene. rwo negroes were arrested.
The others escaped, but the police are on
their track.

It is said that the worst disgusted man
in Washington is no less parsonage than
President Garfield. He has been most
persistently tormented by the army Of
Office. seekers, and abused by men inside
and outside of his party, and in trying
to please each of them has disgusted both.
Such is the reward of what men call pro-
motion, and Gen. Hancock to-day is
doubtless happier in defeat upon Govern
nor's Island than Mr.. Garfield in victo-
rious occupancy of the White House in
Washington.

The 14tIl Session Of the National
Grange.

We have just read with interest the
proceedings of the late meeting of the
National Grange, P. of H., at Washing
ton City. Evidently the farmers of the
United States are engaged in the great
work of perfecting an organization
which is destined Il. no distant day to
WELD powerful influence over the des-
TIMES of this republic. The government
of the United States has been usurped,
and is being prostituted to the base pur-
poses of the most unscrupulous corporate
power known in the history of any peo-
pie. BY the corrupting use of money
these corporations assail both parties
alike, and purchase the high places of
the government for their paid attorneys.
As an evidence of The fact, it is asserted
that Jay Gould, the great railroad king,
owns controlling interest in two leading
partisan papers of New York, to wit:
the World and Tribune-Democracy or
Republicanism either is good enough for
these magnates, provided these organiza-
tions may be used for the advancement
of the unholy ambition of these selfish
and unscrupulous millionaires. They
have we'll nigh monopolized the tele-
graphic business of the country, and
now propose to superadd the transporta-
ton OF the country. With this vast
power in the hands of few men the
millions of the masses will be laid under
q tribute more CALLING and more despotic
than the Turkish Khedive.
The farmers of the United States are
organizing by means of the Grange to
throttle and oyerturn this huge corporate
and monied monopoly, and propose to
fight the battle at the ballot box for the
control of our legislative bodies, State
and National. T. II. R.

A Horrible Affair.

A dispatch to the NeUs and Courier
from Allendale gives the following &C.
count of a most horrible affair. Young
Priester was cadet at the Charlotte Mil.
itary School, but left that city in conse-
quence of having killed colored waiter
in a restaurant there. He subsequently
became cadet at the Greenville Militia
ry Institute, and married Miss Cole,
daughter of we'll known and highly
respected citizen of this county. Prizes.
ter is about twenty.three years old:
ALLENCALE, April ga desperate
encounter took place yesterday near AL
lendale between William and Henry
Priester, father and son, in which the
former was desperately if not fatally
wounded, having received five balls in
his body from a pistol in the hands oi
his son, three of the balls in his bowels,
and his life is despaired of.
Parties just from Mr.. VIM. Priester's
house at 7 o'clock report him in q dying
condition. The exact cause of the ARRAY
has not been made known, but the cause
currently reported is the inability of the
young man to live amicably with his wife,
and yesterday morning upon her request
to her father.in.law for funds to return
to her home, the young husband interfered
and getting his pistol, commenced firing
at his father, shooting him twice through
the abdomen, once through the thigh
and lodging ball in his side.
He then fell to beating him with the pis'
toland only desisted when his brother, who
bad been at the store some little distance
from the dwelling, ran in and parted
them. The young man disappeared last
night. The evidence of the wounded
man was taken to-day by the trial justice,
Capt. Bostick. The only witnesses OF
the shooting were the young mans wife
and her little sister.

A MONUMENT FOR GEN. GARY
The Barnwell People says: "The De-
mocracy of South Carolina should testify
their high appreciation of the distin-
euished political services of Gen. Gary
by erecting over his grave a monument
worthy of the man and of the party he
has served so we'll. Carolinians cannot
forget Gary, for his history is theirs and
their heritage; and while loving rela-
tives would see that his last resting-place
is not unmarked, a grateful people should
claim the right and privilege of preserv-
ing in memorial marble the story of his
gallant life"
