Making Butter tn Cold Weather.
Strain the milk into pans that
have been previously rinsed in hot
water; put II ON the stove for "A few
minutes; then remove IL to the
place in which you usually keep II.
See that it Is not too cold. The next
day put IL on the stove again, make
il very warm, return il as before.
Skim it into an earthern bowl, pour
off the thin cream that will natural-
ly fall on the sides; stir every day,
the third day Stir il with your hand
or butter ladle; when nearly done
pour in the thin cream By degrees;
If with the former, pour some boil
ing water on some bran, rub your
hand well with It, then rinse. There
are some cows that will naturally
make frOthy cream, and should be
disposed Of The way to try them
is TO strain the milk into separate
bowls, skim and stir with aispoon.

ANOTHER wall Of want comes up
from the huts and novels in which
are slowed the poor negroes who
left The south in pursuit Of chimer-
ical happiness in Kansas. Efforts
are being made in New York 10
raise funds to purchase food, fuel
and clothes, wherewith torelieve the
dire straites into which these unfOr-
tunate blacks have been forced by
the cold weather and the colder
hearts of their northern friends.
Without desiring to intefmeddie in
a matter with which we have moth
ing to dO-conceiying Il TO be the
duty of those who se(luced these
poor people from comfortable homes
to provide for them lit is suggested
that the most efficient manner Of
relieving this distress would be 10

Down on a small truck-patch in
the neighborhood of Sixteenth and
Dickinson streets, Philadelphia, a
family named Glen have had as
much as their hands could do to
support themselves. Within a week
the wife has received advices indi-
eating that she is the heir of a for
tune of 81, 10000 The man who
died possessed of this large sum of
money, and yet who could not find
his daughter to enable her to enjoy
his fortune with him while living,
was named James Boyle, and thirty
years ago was a peasant farmer in
county Donegal, Ireland, unable to
support his family on the meagre
yield Of the poor soil. When he
einigrated to Australia, a baby,
Mary was left with the grandpa
rents. Boyle prospered, and, after
the death of his wife and child,
gave up farming and prOspected for
gold. Prosperity attended him i'm
this venture and when he died in
1880 he was worth G285, 900. The
baby left IN IrelanI had in the mean
time grown into womanhOod, cor
responded with her father, married
and moved to America. Owing to
both herself and her father moving
at about the same time, and a mis-
carriage of letters, they lost trace of
one another, and as letters sent to
the old address were not answered,
each person thought the other dead.
Mrs. Glen was informed of her good
fortune some months ago by an un-
Gle living in Ireland, and steps were
at once taken to secure possession of
the money! /. HOrid.
"WELL, you are the biggest goose
/ ever see," said an uncnltiVated
but honest Bostonian to the partner
of his Joys aud sorrows. And she,
who had the advantage Of public
school education, smiled upon him
with a seraphicsnaile as she remark
ed, "Oh, Hubby, you are such aself-
forgetful darling7

White Water Falls.

Last week with party Of young folks we
visited White Water Falls, in 0conee County,
for the first time, and were very much sur
prised at the magnifcence of the scenery.
Besides eurselt and better half. The party
consisted Of Miss Jamie and Miss Addie
Rosamond, of Anderson County, Miss Alef
Durant, of Colleton County. Miss Esse Bowen,
Miss Ida Bradley and Mr.. James Bowen, Of
Pickens. We went to the falls by way of
Birch's Ford on Keowee river, and were
gratified to find the crops along the road
much better than we expected From this
place TO the river we saw decided evidences
of progress and increasing prosperity. Lands
are being cleared and brought into cultiva>
ton, new houses are being built, and ut Mr..
Mabrey Mnuldn's, ten miles from here, we
noticed n cotton gin, run by steam engine,
in full blast. Near this place the Messrs.
Paynes have first rate country store and
seem to be doing thriving business. We
were, however, very much surprised TO find
the country on tho OconCe side so sparccly
settled. After leaving the river at Birchc's
Ford we did not pass but two or three houses
until we came TO the river again at Jocasse
Valley, n distance OF ten or twelve miles
The land generally lies well, looks to be fair
farming land and we'll tmbered. Why it is
not settled up we do not know, unless it is
that the lands are owned by a- fowindividuals
who will neither sell or settle upon them.
On the bottoms Of the Kcowee, where the
land appeared to be a little sandy. We saw
very fine cotton growing, and in the Valley Of
Jocnsse, Mr.. Fisher has rs fine cotton rs we
have seen any where this yenN: 1t seems
that latitude now has but little to do with the
growing Of cotton, especially south of the
Blue Ridge mountains in this State.
We arrived at Mr.. Fishers Just at dark,
under whose hospitabe roof we remained
during our stay in the Valley. On Wcdr cs.
day we visited the falls. Mr.. Ben Fisher
kindly acting cccronc for the party. After
climbing two mountains by means OF z;gzag
road end leaving our vehicles. We descended
Ivy foot path, to the bottom of the falls
where the scenery in all lis magniicencc and
beauty could be taken in. This fan the

The Atlanta Exposition.

The Cotton Exposition opened at Atlanta
last week with every indication Of success
Col. a. =. Butler, he efficient and indctnii-
gable Commissioner for this State, IS on hand
and doing al he can to have South Carolina
creditably represented. While much has been
done to exhibit the varied resources of our
State, much more can still be done if the
farmers will only CO. operate with Co.. Hujhr
and forward directly to him AT Atlanta, spcci
mems Of tic product Of our soil, timber, min
erals, Sc. From n private letter, address ed
10 us by Col. Butler, we take the privilege of
making the following extract. which we think
will prove interesting to our readers:
"Since coming here, and seeing the exhih.
its Of other States partially spread and ar
ranged. | feel still that our State will mike a
very creditnbe exhibit if even at this lat c
day, our citizens will cooperate in selecting
and shipping samples of what we know grows
or exists everywhere throughout our State
We arc located in conspicuous place with
hard neighbors TO compete with Our space
is bounded on one side by Kansas, which is
making rich and tasty show of corn, the
small grains and grasses, including broom
corn and the sorghum cane. Texas and Ark
ansas are also both very close TO us. Their
exhibits are fine. Kansas has men and women
both at work arranging her show South
Carolina will be we'll represented in wood,
hut it has been contributed through the Rail-
roads, and will represent the growth in the
States through which they Iun, rather than
any particular State. The Roads do not seem
to distinguish the States within whose limits
the wood was cut.
"Ihe special object of this hastily written
letter is to beg you to procure the shipment
to me here, at the earliest possible time, a
ga ok Of white corn in the ear. and also one of
yellow. We believe your County can com
pete i'll size of ear and grain with any samples
that have Teen spread here yet. will highly
appreciate any other fine specimens your
judgment may suggest rs likely to advance
the State in the Exposition. The Depart
mcnt will refund the outlay made in gathering
and forwarding specimens. Samples of wood
sawed in wheels about to 10 inches from
good large trees Of their kind, such os, white
oak. hickory, beech, birch, maple, sweet gum,
walnut. pine, snssafras, mulberry, &C., such
as have bccn furnished through the Railroads
would add greatly to the exhibit. Very Truly,
RUM

An Interview with Hon G. D. Tillman

Verbatim ct lteratim. We are rushing
from the Court House across the square on
salcday at 10 4. NJ, and we meet our disiin~
guished Representative in Congress rushing
toward the Court House. AS we dart norvous>
ly to one side to avoid so ponderous and fatal
a collision, both parties rushing onward, we
cry out, George. the people are extremely
anxious to hear your views on the political
situation. Do writo something for us and let
us have it in the morning" And the answer
comes back to us thus, the Colossus still stri-
ding onward in his course: ooh, Lord God.
Jim, I've got no time to write nor talk; and
if had, NIL Nv" got to say, is let us 60 on
building onr railroads md call n constitution,

The Stock Law in Edgefeld.

mass meeting Of the friends Of the stock
law was held recently in Edgefeld. All the
Aownships in the county were represented,
except three, which were inadvertently left
out, and the aggregate number ofvoters, who
favor the law, as shown by petitions, was
1852. The Advertiser snys the three town.
ships rot represented in 'ho meeting will add
over three hundred names to tho list. which
will make 1000. About two thirds of the
voting population. Resolutions instructinc
the Senator and Representatives of the county
10 vote for the law vas passed unanimously,
and committee Of one from each township
appointed to 90 to Columbia during the ses-
sion Of the Legislature to look after the law.
In making this movement TO secure the stock
law, the farmers Of Edgefeld are doing more
TO advance their interest than they could
possibly do in any other way. The law only
needs trial to become popular.

The stalwnrts, or Conkling wing Of the Re-
publican party Of the State Of New York, was
completely whipped out in the recent State
Convention, by the Half breeds, or anti
Conklingites. Comkling's star seems TO have
set, for the prcscui at least in the Excelcior
State. What effect it will have on the party
in that State, time alone can only tell. II
Conkling should sulk or belt his party. it
would give the Democrats clean sweep;
but the Democrats arc so broken up into
fncicns that it will require very large split
in the Republican party for them to win,
Notwithstanding they are in n very large ma~
jority in the State. The politics of New York
are hard to understand amy way. The spoils
system seems 10 govern both parties.

1t is announced Tint scandle hns been
unearthed in the Pensions Department at
Washington The Star Route and the Treas
'ury frauds il seems would have been enough
for Mr.. Hayes administration, but now an
other in The Pensions Bureau is unearthed.
Hnyes himself got into the Office Of President
by fraud and it seems that everything con,
nectcd with his administration is about TO
turn out to be fraud also. Some Of the
clerks, ii seems, formed iing, and the way
they operated was by ascertaining who had
not applied for pension that was catitled TO
one, and whenever they found such person,
they simply submilteda a focticious name for
thnt of the real party, passed his claim
through the Department, drew the money and
put il in their pockets. If the Republicans
oontroll the government much langcr, Wash
ing on will become so rotten and throw out
such a stencil that huzzard will have to
hold its nose when il flies over the city.
