Gladly we listen to the rushing of
water. 1t commenced to rain Friday
night and did not fairly quit before 9
a. m. Monday. Our creeks were far
above fording yesterday, depriving us
of mail. This freshet will cleanse the
streams and furnish plenty Of good
stock water, both of which were much
needed.

FAIR LAWN, Feb. s, 1881

q
Stewart & Rove expect to ship their
fat sheep this week. Their acre lot
that they have fed them in is literally
covered with cobs, and neighbors go
there with wagons and scrape up whole
loads of them in a few minutes.
\ well-to-do farmer on the Usage is
hauling cracked corn from Thayer's
mill at lola. He says he can buy it at
lola cheaper than he can buy the raw
corn near home.
Nortons have built an addition to
their house.
Our election passed off quietly. The
Republicans failed to support their
ticket and elected different ticket al
together. The reason of this was be-
cause the ''little ring" that was present
at the convention wanted everything
their own way, even down to road
overseer.
Mr.. Barnes is ready to fence in one of
c. Aldrich's quarter sections of land as
soon as the ground will permit, and a
Lacquer is prepared to Jump" it as soon
as he can build. We expect there will
be trouble for some one.
Our mail carrier was taken sick at
TT. Scott last Tuesday and we failed to
receive our Fridays mail from the west
until Monday morning.
We received a nice, steady rain last
Saturday which lasted until Monday
noon and completely overwhelmed the
creeks. If this rain had come sudden
ly it would have washed off the two
inches of soil that had thawed out and
we should have been two inches closer
to hard pan.
P.J. McGlashan dug him a stock
we'll just before the rain and secured an
abundance of water for 200 head of cat
tie. Fehleison, Norton, Richards and
Clothier also have the same kind of
wells. Water can be dipped out of
these wells, without using any rope, the
year TOuuC.
Fehleison encountered two wolves
the other day, but they escaped from
him.
If the dog tax is levied and we should
have the authority, we would warrant
that every dog that did not wear Ii
cense check in this township would
depart this life in hurry. We have
lived where every dog that did not
wear a license check and muzzle was
shot on sight by a person appointed by
the county, for such business, and in a
shcrt time there were no worthless
cusses running around, and every val
liable dog was thus taken good care of.

President Hayes has issued a special

President Hayes has issued a special
message in reference to the POnca
Indian case. He frankly acknowl-
edges the blunder that was made in
taking the lands from them, and as
the Executive under whose admins
tration the WRONG was done, he accepts
his share of the blame. An important
Item in this message is the recommen-
dations the President r,akes in refer
ence to the policy that should be pur-
sued in relation to the Indian question.
He recommends industrial and general
education, lands in severalty, citizen
ship, and payment for all lands left
over after the allotments have been
made. These recommendations should
receive the careful and prompt atten-
ton of Congress. No better solution
of the Indian difficulties have been
suggested. And we believe it is to the
interest of the Indians, as well as those
them, that some such
humane policy be adopted.

Jay Gould has been interviewed by

insists that under one system, without
any conflicting interests, such econ
omy can be introduced that rates both
to the press and to the public can be
gradually reduced. All of which is
doubtless true; but the people and
the press fear the rates will be gradu-
ally increased under one management.

a few hundred sheep are wanting a

mills is more imaginary than real.
One great advantage in growing wool
is that it can be shipped to the East

Sheep raising is now, and will continue
to be one of the most profitable indus
tries in ting State, regardless of the

On the first page of to-day's paper
will be found letter that was written
by our County Commissioner, A. J.
McCarley, to the Interstate, denying
statements made in that paper i'm ref.
erence to him; and also correcting
statements published in reference to
Mr.. Long, the Commissioner for the
district in the southern part of the
county. As this letter showed that
the editor of the is. was sadly mis-
taken OF else was willful liar, he
naturally felt agrieved so he publish
ed Mr.. McCarley's letter-as he claims
word for word and letter for letter.
Published thus, the letter shows that
our Commissioner is careless in the
use of capital letters, neglects to use
periods, commas, etc., and spells iEcor-
rectiy gseat many words but for all
this it shows that he knew what he
was talking about, and his letter
caused tie Bird of the LIS. to flutter
badly. Mr.. Mccartney has lived in
this community for over twenty years,
and while he has never protested to be
a writer for newspapers or public
speaker, he has given substantial evil
dence of his business qualifications,
and by an upright and honest life has
gained. and now enjoys, the confidence
of all who know him. While he makes
no professions to being scholar, he is
well qualified for the office he holds,
and as Commissioner gives universal
satisfaction to his constituents. That
Mr.. McCarley stated the exact truth
in his letter all who are well acauaint-
ed with the man will not for a moment
doubt, and those who think they have
heard to the contrary are mistaken.
1t has so long been the practice with
newspaper editors and publishers to
correct-as far as they knew how-all
errors in manuscripts furnished for
publication, as to become law among
them. There is not one man in fifty
who can sit down and write letter
hurriedly without making mistakes in
spelling and punctuation. The con-
duct of the editor of the is. in this
matter, and the unjust criticisms he
has made on the action CT the Commits
sioners, show that the columns of that
paper are presided over by dirty
Bird. If brass could be substituted for
brains the paper would be grand sue
cess, but as that is impossible, a
change in its editorial management is
necessary, otherwise the Democrats of
AIKEN county will be without an organ
in short time.
