the arrest will be followed by the punishment

The Brooklyn Bridge Trustees have lowered
the tolls for vehicles and animals about one
half. SO far so good These things ought they
TO haze done, but not to have left the other
thing undone-namely. the reduction of the car
fare and the tolls for pedestrians. Still we arc
not as those who have no hope. Concessions
come slowly and with rather bad grace from the
trustees; but they do come, and in the running
of the cars all night and this reduction of taxes

people see promise of a day when the great

Senator Bayard's visit to the President-elect

less than the Office of Secretary of State for
Mr.. Cleveland's greatest rival at Chicago But
II is some time yet between now and March a,
and Bayard is not the only statesman who has
been invited TO Albany. 1t can be said in favor
of Mr.. Bayard's chances, however, that owing
10 his speeches at the beginning of the war, he
would hardly be an Objectionable Secretary of

Spring Planting.

A good rule to observe in planting
trees is to select a time soon after the
frost is out of the soil and surface rea-
sonably dry. The earlier the better
for most trees, so that the roots may
commence working before the buds
swell. There are a few exceptions,
however, when the roots are of thick,
fiesby character and, if disturbed too
soon, will frequently decay. A nota-
bleexample may be found in the magno-
has, with roots of the above descrip-
tion, and experience has demonstrated
the utility Of setting them out just be-
fore the buds commence perceptibly
to swell. The evergreen family, as a
rule, prefer late planting, as the pecu-
liar 1eshy character of their. fibres will
not endure state of inactivity during
removal. A point to be always borne
in mind when removing evergreens is
not to allow the roots rc become dry.
The moment they are But of the soil
they should be freely Iprinkled with
water and wrapped i9 "a damp cloth,
unless the weather sh ID be moist and
clondy. Water sprh hkled over the
foliage also answers most excellent

Cooked and Uncooked Food for Swine

Of late years the practice of cooking
food for stock has met with little fav-
or, but, unless there is some mistake
in the figures, the results of an exper-
iment conducted by H. Gins,ack. of
Iowa, seem to prove that the feeding
of uncooked meal and bran is most
wasteful. Ten pigs. weighing $50 lbs
were fed on cooked food for three
months, and ten, weighing $50 pounds,
mere fed on uncooked for the same
time. In four weeks difference was
seen, and at the end of the test the 1st
lot:weighed $500 pounds and the 9th.
ers 1920 pounds. The feed was corn.
meal, bran and shorts in equal parts
and of the cooked food there wai
used 1886 pounds and of the uncook.
ed 4005 pounds. Lot No. 2 gained a
pound of flesh for little more than
pounds of food, fairly good result
But lot No gained pound for ev.
cry two and a half pounds feed! Bet.
ter try once more and watch the scales
closely.

Muck as q Manure.

Professor Caldwell is quoted as say.
ing: 1T is matter always Of dispute
whether it pays to dig muck and use
it as fertilizer. The different results
always arise from two sources, an un.
derstanding of composing or other
preparation, or failure in the muck
itself, not having a sufficient amount
of organic substance. The different
values of muck may be roughly arriv-
ed at by first thoroughly drying the
samples of muck in an oven, then
with small scales weighing out exactly
pound or half-pound of each, and
placing them on a piece of iron, which
should be gradually brought up to
red heat. The ashes of these when
weighed will tell this value the muck
which retains the most weight will be
the best manure

What Tomatoes to Plant.

I esteem garden vegetables accord.
ing to their table quality rather than
their appearance or productiveness
The surplus of the best is always good
enough to sell. In flavor and eating
qualities generally there is wide diff.
erence among tomatoes, ard | have
been trying all the leading varieties
for years to settle which one should
choose as the best for my purpose
Of the New Cardinal | cannot speak
till next year. The same is true OF
Mayf1ower and Rochester, for, although
they were planted wayward streak
OF lightning flashed along the wires to
which they were trained and interfered
with the experiment. OF the older
varieties the Arlington has satisfied me
as well as any. 1t is large, solid and
ripens we'll up to the stem, which,
ith its good quality, are points in its
favor
Last season I tried a number Of the
newer kinds, viz: Acme, Paragon
Perfection, Favorite, Nav flower, Roch-
ester, Hundred Day, with a view to
test their comparative merits as to ear
illness, productiveness, quality, etc.
The Hundred Days gave the first
ripe fruit, followed by Acme. in few
days, but the difference in time, as
shown by this one trial, was so slight,
to be insignificant when compared
with the superiority of the others.
These all proved desirable and excel
lent, but We gave the preference to
Perfection, as it seemed to have less
acid in the raw state and the mildest
flavor when cooked. We thought
Paragon good, Favorite better, Perfec-
tion best, and the whole three all that
could be desired for smoothness and
solidity. The Fall rains gave later
paintings vigorous growth that were
loaded with fruit when frost came.
The Essex Hybrid and St. Paul, in
troduced few years ago as great ac-
QUESTIONS, | have discarded after three
years trial. They rot even worse
than the Acme, if it is possible, and
require to be smothered in sugar to
make them palatable. AS l do not
run grocery nor a sugar plantation,
such acid tomatoes must go.'-E.

ANOTHER RESCUE FROM DEATn.-In 1881
while sewing on machine, my Wife was
taken with severe pain in her side, which
was soon followed by hemorrhages from
her lungs, severe cough, fever, and she
could neither eat or sleep, and in a few
weeks she was reduced to living skeleton.
Her stomach refused to retain any food and
the physician thought one of her lungs was
entirely gone. At final consultation OF
two physicians her case was pronounced
hopeless. 1 tried Brewers Lung Restorer
by advice of one of the physicians, and she
began to improve after the third dose. She
continued the medicine, and is now in ex-
cellent health, and is better than she has
been in several years. | believe Brewers

Reunion of the Gist Rifles.

Mr.. EDITOR: The second annual meet
ing of the Gist Rifles Survivors Associa-
ton was held at Williamson on Tues
day, August 5th, with 1st Vice-Presldent
J. NJ. Glenn presiding. There were forty
of the members present.
In the election of officers for the ensu-

End vice-P President, J. NJ. Glenn; 3rd
vice-President, R. V. Acker; 4th Vice
President, S. R. Davenport; Secretary
and Treasurer, J. L. Mauldin.
A number of letters, received by the
Secretary from some Of the absent men,
bers expressing regrets at being unable
to attend the meeting and good wishes to
all, were read, and it was evident that all
were pleased to hear from those they could
not meet.
It was ascertained that there are now
living Of the Company lib members, and
the whereabouts Of all except % are
known.
The meeting was adjourned to meet at
Williamson on first Tuesday in August,
1885.
Dinner was announced after adjourn
ment, and all repaired to the Spring grove
to partake of the bountiful fare. The
"boys" knew what to do with it, though
it was not like the camp fare they were
accustomed to twenty years ago.
A most pleasant day was spent in talk

so it was with the veterans; the declining
sun warned them it was time to break up,
and with many a hearty ''good bye"

meeting was over. NJ.

A Card.

To the Gtisens Of anderson County: 1t has
been reported by some malicious person
that my administration of the County Jail
has not been correct, in that prisoners have
not been properly fed, and that prisoners
have been hired to the city council of An
derson and thus double fees collected. Both
of these statements are entirely without
shadow of truth to sustain them. and am
confident that the people Of Anderson
County know them to be maliciously false.
II any proof of this is needed, I think the
following affidavit of Mrs. Margaret R.
Harris, q respectable white lady, effectually
disposcs of the first falsehood:
STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA,
County of Anderson.
Personally appeared before me ]. E.
Breazeale, Trial Justice in and for the
County and State aforesaid. Margaret r.
Harris, who being duly sworn, deposes and
says that she was the cook at the County
Jail during the year 1882, except the
month of August when she was absent,
and that it was during said time while she
was cooking that one James Patterson was
prisoner and he with all the other pris-
oners received the same kind of breads and
meats used by Sheriff Mcconnell and his
family, and to her own knowledge the pris-
oners were well fed and cared for.

The Municipal Election.

Very little interest was manifested In
the Municipal election last Monday. This
can be easily accounted for from the fact
that the primary election had settled the
result of the election in advance. Out of
nearly 500 voters, only 2S9 registered for
this election-2O1 whites and SO colored.
Of the number registered, only 17S per-
sons voted, 40 of them being colored.
The regular Democratic ticket was almost
unanimously elected, there being but
