FAILED TO AGREE.

Some portions of the road leading from
Ebenezer to Rock Hill having become al
most impossible. the citizens Of the latter
place have for some time desired to open
new public road and close the old one entire
ly. To do so, the proposed new road would
pass for some distance through the land of
S. M: Fewell, Esq. Negotiations on the part
of those interested in the matter having failed
to obtain, on satisfactory terms, Mr.. Fewells
permission to open the road on Friday last
the County Commissioners met on the ground
for the purpose of determining whether it
would be more feasible to repair the present
road or open new one. After inspection, it
was decided that it would he impracticable
to attempt to repair the old road, and the
Commissioners, at the suggestion of Mr..
Fewell, appointed three free holders to select
route and assess damages, merely in the
way of a proposition, their conclusion to be
binding on neither party. The Commissioners
appointed for this purpose committee con.
sisting of Messrs. Frank H. Brown, Peter
Garrison and D. A. A. Watson. After
making their report, Mr.. Fewell declined
to. accede to their proposition, and in conse-.
quence of the failure to make terms, those
who favor the opening of the new road have
decided to proceed in the manner prescribed
by statute.

coming thoroughly frightened for fear the
thirty days would expire, Cannon sent four
notices of contest to Salt Lake, each to par.
ticular friend, with instructions to hunt
Campbell regardless of expenses. One man
took the train east, and accidentally met
Campbell at Green River Station on the very
last day of the thirty. Campbell was about
to sit down to breakfast in fancied security,
but the man with four wives and seat in
Congress was too much for him. The gentle
man was so upset by being discovered, that he
could eat no breakfast Had he been able
to avoid service of notice of contest, Cannon
could hardly have maintained his contest.

EDITORIAL INKLINGS.
A Word Picture of Conkling.


-- The following faithful sketch of the
magnificent stalwart was drawn by Mr. Blaine
in 1866, when the New York representative
(Conkling) refused to give way to the Maine
representative, saying: mo, sir, do not
wish to have anything to do with the member
from Maine, not even so much as to yield him
the foor," to which Mr.. Blaine replied:
''As to the genteman's cruel sarcasm,
hope he will not be too severe. The contempt
of the large minded gentleman is so willing
his naughty dsdain, his grandiloquent swell,
his majestic, supereminent, overpowerlng tur'
key-gobbler strut, has been so crushing to my.
self and all the members Of this House, that
know it was an act of the greatest temerity
for me to venture upon controversy with
him. But, sir, know who is responsible for
all this. | know that within the last five
weeks, as members of the House will recollect,
an extra strut has characterized the gentle
mans bearing. 1t is not his fault. 1t is
the fault of another That gifted and satiri-
cal writer, Theodore Tilton, Of the New York
Independent, spent some weeks recently in
this city. His letters published in that pa
per embraced, with many serious statements,
a little jocose satire, part of which was the
statement that the mantle of the late Winter
Davis had fallen upon the member from New
York. The gentleman took it seriously, and
it has given his strut an additional pompos,
ity The resemblance is great. 1t is strik'
ing. Hyperion to Satyr, Thersites to Her
cules, mud to marble, dunghill to diamond,
singed cat to a Bengal tiger, a whining
puppy to roaring lion. Shade of the nigh,
ty Davis! forgive the almost proclamation OF
that jocose satire.
Important Ruling on the Stock Law.
- At the last term of the circuit court of
Abbeville county, an important ruling involv-
ing the constitutionality of the stock law, was
made by Judge Kersbaw. The case came up
on appeal from trial justice, with whom
Phares C. Martin had lodged his complaint
against Samuel J. Hester for trespass by stock.
After hearing the trial, the justice sentenced
Hester to pay fine of one dollar or be impris-
oned FIVE days. An appeal was taken to the
circuit court on the following grounds:

LETTER FROM CHESTER.


CHESTER, S. C. February 22-The weather
is now quite favorable for garden and farm
work, which is being vigorously carried on
There has been considerable complaint that
the severe weather of the past few weeks in
terfered with the sowing of oats; but now
the farmers seem to be getting along finely
in that business.
Very little cotton is being offered here now
The highest price paid last week was lOa.
The railroad depots here are crowded with
freight, principally fertilizers, large quaint
ties of which are being received.
The depot of the Chester and Lenoir Rail
road has been enlarged and improved, to meet
the demands of the freight traffic on that
road. Messrs. Bennett 4 Moffatt are now
building five box cars for the road.
On the evening of the 10th instant, Mr..
John A. Wood and Miss Fannie Melton were
married at the Presbyterian church by Rey.
G. A. Trenholm. Among the attendants
were two of Yorkville's fair daughters. On
the succeeding night hop was given at Wat
sons Hall in compliment to the newly mar
ried couple, as also complimentary to Mr..
and Mrs. r. B. Woods.
The Circuit Court for this county will con-
vane on the second Monday in March, Judge
Frazer to preside. The criminal docket is
unusually heavy, and there will probably be
considerable business on the civil side.
A Young Mems Social Club" whatever
that may be, has been recently organized here.

LETTER FROM WHITAKER'S.

WH1rAKER's, S. c., February 2lst.-Ths
continued cold weather has greatly retarded
farming operations in this section. But very
little work has as yet been done on the farms,
although an increase in the cotton crop is
contemplated by many of our farmers, should
the spring be favorable, Notwithstanding the
inability of many of them to gather all of the
last crop before it was covered with snow and
ice.
A larger quantity of fertilizers is being
shipped to this place than ever before. This
is partially due, however, to the break in the
Carolina Central Railway at Indian creek
trestle (Which was burned just before Christ
mas) in consequence of which trains have not
since that time been running through to Shell.
by. Shelby dealers will supply their Gus
toners south Of that place at this point.
The extremely cold weather of this winter
has partially, if not totally, destroyed the
peach crop in this section. Four years ago
we suffered in the same manner from an un-
usually cold snap. The effects of the weather
are also visible on all sides-evergreens, rose
bushes, &c., and in many places the old field
pines, have suffered. While the farmers will
suffer to some extent by the effects of the
weather, it is hoped they will be pro6ted by
the destruction of insects which have multi.
piled wonderfully in consequence of the last
three or four mild winters, causing no small
amount of trouble and anxiety each spring.
The building interest of this place contin.
ues lively. The handsome residence of DR..
A. F. Hambright is receiving the finishing
touches of the painters brush. The Baptist
church, which is near completion, will be a
comfortable and commodious place of wor-
ship. The dwelling of DR.. Denny is in course
of construction and will be completed in a
short time. Orders are now at Dover's mill,
near this place, for lumber for four new dwell.

INTERESTING DENTAL OPERATION.

discolored and badly decayed in two places.
It was extracted, bleached to its natural col.

the mouth for an hour and half. The op.
Grafton was performed eighteen months ago,
and the tooth to-day is as perfect and as firm
