The work on the Savannah Valley
Railroad has progressed rapidly and
smoothly since Maj. Twiggs began with
the conyicts. The greater portion Of
the force was removed on Tuesday to
stockade No. 2, about sixteen miles be-.
low Anderson. The force left was ex-
pected to finish the work at this end OF
the line by this morning, when they will
be removed about eight miles below here,
where there is short gap that they will
complete in a few days. The work is
being thoroughly done. The Road will
be graded entirely without gaps this time,
and made ready for the cross-ties. Gen
eral Humphreys and the Board of Di'
rectors have shown good judgment and
energy in the administration of the
affairs of the Road, and its speedy COM
pletion is assured if the townships in
Anderson County will only contribute
the small sum necessary to complete ths
grading. We hope that all who can 20
so will visit the work, and when they 90
80 we feel satisfied that they will be con-
yinced that we will soon have a Railroad,
and that it will pay them to invest the
small sum asked from them in Fastening
its completion.

A PATENT MEDICINE COMBINATION.
A dispatch from Pittsburg, Pennsylva'

A dispatch from Pittsburg, Pennsylva-
mia, under date of April Oath, says:
"The movement to maintain prices on
proprietary medicines, inaugurated by
druggists here recently, promises to
spread throughout the country. Thir
teen of the largest patent medicine man
ufacturers in the United States have
formed protective association to pre-.
vent the cutting of rates, and circulars
have been sent to all wholesale aud retail
dealers notifying them not to sell at less
than established prices, under penalty of
having their supply cut off. Thirteen
prominent firms in the East have already
been boycotted because of their violation
of the rules of the new organization.
The combination controls 10000 drug
stores and between 700 and 800 wholesale
establishments. The patent medicine
manufacturers interested are Hostetter &
Smith, Perry Davis g. Sons, G. G. Green,
Johnston, Holloway & Co., Charles IL.
Vogeler & Co., Fleming Bros, DIR. Joyce
G. Sons, J. G. Aver & Co., Foster, Mel
bourne & Co., G. w. Campion & Co.,
Tarrant & Co. and DR.. J. H. Schenck &
Sons"
This means an advance in price of
patent medicines by checking competi.
ton between manufacturers. This is q
new use of the pooling Of issues, and as
usual in such cases the people who use
the medicines in the combination, have
to pay for the privilege.

The Democrats of Iowa have just had
the biggest State Convention ever held
by the party in that State. Tilden dele
gates were elected to the National Dem
ocratic Convention, amid the greatest
enthusiasm, and Tariff reform platform
adopted. The papers which have here
tofore been unable to see any indication
of a boom for Tilden have probably
begun the eye opening process. Penn
sylvania, West Virginia, Oregon and
Iowa are the only States in which the
Democrats have held their conventions,
and all of them have elected delegates
who will vote for Tilden. These States
represent the various phases of the tariff
issue, and yet all of them agree upon
Ex.Gov. Tilden as the man to lead the
party. This is most fortunate way for
the Democrats to get out Of their tariff
divisions. The great fraud of 1876
should, and we believe will, be rebuked
in 1884 by the overwhelming election Of
the man who was cheated out of the
presidency by an TO Z Republican COM
mission.

Hillside Ditching.

Mr.. EDITOR: Rotation OF crops, good
manuring, deep plowing, &C., are very
proper-yea, indispensable to success on
the farm, yet these will measurably fail
unless some method is adopted to prevent
the constant washing away of the soil.
I have often been astonished at the man
ner in which many good farmers cultivate
their lands. They plow up and down
hill, never make hillside bitches, nor
pursue any plan to prevent the exhaust
ing effects of drenching rains. A few
years of such management will destroy
the fertility of the best piece of upland
in the county.
I have tested two principal methods
to prevent washing, both of which,
properly practiced, will be effectual.
These are we'll located and properly pre-
pared bitches and horizontal plowing or
laying off of rows. Much has been
written of late in favor of terracing lands,
that is throwing up bank to catch and
hold all the water and sediment above it.
Ny limited experience is not favorable
to this method, for the reason that it is
difficult to construct terrace that will
hold all the water falling above it, unless
the space is quite narrow and the ground
not much rolling. prefer comprom-
ise between an old fashion ditch and the
terrace. My plan is this After looking
carefully over the plat of ground [ wish
to ditch, and settling in my mind the
number, location and course OF the
bitches, with my eye, sometimes COM
pass, trace the exact direction of the
ditch, keeping nearly or quite on level
until reach an outlet for any unusual
amount of water that might collect. l
then run two furrows with large twister
along the course marked out, throwing
tue dirt in opposite directions and leav-
ing room in the middle for one or two
more lurrows, which completes the plow-
ing. With shovels and hoes the dirt is
then taken out, placing from one'half to
two.thirds of it on the upper side of the
ditch. This done, run with the same
turning plow one or two burrows on the
upper side, the wing turned towards the
ditch, thus throwing up with the dirt
already placed above a considerable
bank, which answers for terrace. Thus
made, The water from most rains will
lodge against this bank with any sedi-
ment carried down with it. From a
very heavy rain the water would break
over in few places, fall into the ditch
ard pass off, carrying, however, but little
sediment with it. The idea is not to
provide for the draining of the land, but
for the escape of a superabundance of
water that may collect from heavy rains
ard wash off the soil.
Having completed my ditch, when I
come to lay off my rows, I endeavor to
keep them as pearly on level as posi-.
Bile. If the ditch is level, that will be
guide for beginning the rows. If there
is fall in the ditch, a few short rows
ought to be run at the upper side of the
lower end of the ditch, or the reverse at
the upper end if beginning there.
would ask my farmer friends to try
nv plan on a small scale at least, and if
they have any thanks to give in return
in the future, let them call on the Editor
who will inform them upon whom to
bestow them. HORIZONTAL.

The Executive Committee of the Car
olina, Cumberland Gap & Chicago Rail-
road met at Abbeville on Wednesday, the
23rd of April. The agent of the road
in England is hopeful of the early sue
cess of his negotiations. 1t is not prob
able that the people along the line of the
road will be called on to vote on the
matter of taxation, as provided for by
the last Legislature, Immediately. From
what the Register correspondent learned
from Gov. Hagood, the policy of the
road is to wait for short time for further
developments of the financial negotia.
tions in England before taking any steps
in the matter Of taxation along the line.
This is great enterprise, and its success
is anxiously hoped for by the people of
South Carolina. 1t is pleasant to have
the assurance that there is prospect of
assistance in its construction.

ANOyEL SATISFACTION

The Greenyille Ncars of one day last
week gives this account of Il novel way
in Which one of Grecnville's livery
receives payment for damage to his hor'
ses from over.driving by customers who
hire them:
On Sunday last j. P. Charles, a livery
stable. keeper in GreeuVille, cowhided
Matthew Petit, an employee at the Cam
perdown Mills, for driving one of his
horses almost to DEATH Charles says that
when Petit came to his stable he made
the following proposition: "Now | will
let you have the horse if you pay me two
hundred dollars, or will take sum III
proportion to the damage which you have
done 10 him. If you do not choose to do
this | will prosecute you and give you a
whipping. Which will you do?" Petit.
it is said, agreed to take fifty lashes, and
those present formed ring. Then thir-
ty-eight lashes were administered.
Charles only struck thirty.eight lashes
and told Petit that he would let him OIL
with that. Petit denies that he agreed
to let Charles whip him, and says that the
horse he hired was sick when he got him.
1t is understood that Petit WILL through
his counsel, j. I. Nix, sue Charles Tor
$1,000 damages.
If Petit does not get a verdict against
Charles VIC imagine his horses will be
secure from over.driving by future GUS
toners. If, however, Petit gets good
verdict against Charles, land such things
