"A exchange says: "a col.rcd
debating society, IN .Ncwbcrry county,
last week, discussed the question
(Which is Of more benefit TO the coun-
try, the lawyer or the turkey buzzard2'
The question was decided in favor OF
tho buzznrd." We offer coincidence to

Mr.. j. M. Stewart has removed to
Mcssrs. j. M. Beatty & Co.'s Corner

prices for cotton, and deliver the most

Seven hundred and cighty-flvc
agricultural liens have bccn fntlcxcd
the Clerks Office up to March 6, us
against 1886 to the Same date OF 1882,
making falling of, from last year of
over 500 in the space Of two months
and six days. This is magniticca 1t
showing, and is not only the best cvi-
dcnce of the. increasing mpopularity

elusive evidence OF the general pros
perity of tho county.
Next Saturday, the 10th inst, is
the appointed time for the great storm
OF the scason--so say the weather gods.
Ridiculous and unfoundcd as this
prophecy may be, some people have
been foolish enough to base their busi-
ness calculations upon it; sailors by
the scores have positively refused to
begin voyage until after tho fata!
day, and negroes in some portions of
the country arc actually building arks
on diminulivc scale, preparatory to
the coming of the second flood. Re
ports on preparations arc in order.
' CHESTER; TAKE NoTICE.-It was
stated some time since in the Chester
Reporter that gentleman in Chester
county made, during the last year,
forty bales of cotton and five hundred
bushels of. corn to two plows, and
averaging over his entire place fifteen
bales of cotton TO the plow. Mr..
Samuel Cathcart, of Fairfield, living
within five miles Of Winnsboro, made,
during the last year, twcnty-onc bales
Of cotton and three hundred and fifty
bushels Of corn to one plow, and aver
aging over his entire place, consisting
of nine plows, sixteen and thrcc-qnar-
ter bales to the plow. This, in our
opinion, is considerably ahead Of Chcs-
toT. We propose, at another time, 10
give further statements, showing the
marked success Of our farmers.
