A tew days ago a COW belonging
to William Spencer, who lives
near Carthage, Jefferson County,
N. y, caught its tail on the end
of one of its h. rms, aud when found
che was spinning around like a top
and groaning with pain. She had
evidently been in that condition
some time, and when released was
completely exhausted.

1t will surprise old poutrygrow-

Is regarded as a valuable bird. He
destroys 100 field mlcc for every

amount of shrubbery around the

One Of the hardest lessons iu liIo
for young people to learn is to prac.
tice economy. 1t is a harder duty
for a young man to accuuu'lte and
save his first thousand dollars thau
the next ten thousand. A mau can
hc economical without being mean.
II is one Of tho most solemn duties
to lay up sufficient iu days Of
strength and prosperity to provide
for himself aud those who may b.
dependent on him il days Of mis-
fortune. Extravaganza is one ofthe
greatest evils Of the present age.
1t is undermining aud oycrturuiDg
the loftiest and best principles that
should be held sacred iu society
1t is annually sending thousands
Of young men and women to ruiu
and misfortune. Cultivate, then,
sober and Industrious habits; ac--
quire the art Of putting a little
aside every day for future nece:
sites; avoid all unnecessary and
foolish expenditures. Spend your
time only in such manner as shall
bring you profit and enjoyment,
and your money only for such
things as you actually need for
yonr comfort and hsppiness, a.
you will win and retain the resp
and honor of all worthy and suu9l
stant;al people.
Mr.. Tilden says he would very
much like 10 see Gen. Francis c.
Barlow appointed Secretary Of
War. His reasons are that up to
1876 lie was an ardent Republican
and was sent to Florida to inyes
tigate the vote Of that State in tue
Presidential election Of that year;
that finding the Democrats had
fairly won tho State, he had the
courage and honesty to say so and
to. refuse 20 cooperate With Repub'
lican managers to steal the electo-
raj vote. He then quit the party
and has since acted with the Dem
oc1ats. He also says he has o
brilliant military record, is every
inch a gentleman, and a man ol
ability withal.

For the Advertiser
In Memory of Manchester Padgett.


In memory Of our highly esteemed
and honored friend, MANCHESTER PADa'
EFT, who, after years OF suffering, de-
parted this life. on the 2sth July. His
was the life Of true Christian, and
Like mdurnful wall of music,
Or q tender sad refrain,
Came to him sweet voice saying,
Loved one leave that world Of pain.
Patiently he had awaited
Long the summons from above,
So that ho might dwell with Jesus,
In that land of light and love.
Though light has gone from earth,
There is an angel for the throng,
That round Jehovah's throne gives birth
To harmonies of harp and song.
Ere he reached that cold dark river,
Famed by Deaths mysterious gallo,
He saw crossing the stream to meet him.
The aged ferryman, grim and pale.
Life for him with its tolls are over,
He is now forever blest;
TheSavior' voice has ssweetly called him
To como mp there and be at rest.
Gently he called his loved one home.
Finished tie task which He had given
His weary feet no moro shall roam,
His work is done, he rests in llea:en
A FRIEND.

Proceedings Of Court.

We mention the most important c;scs
already disposed Of, or to be disposed Of:
Young Glenn was not tired last week as
had been decided upon, but will probably
be this week. Joe Moore, thenegro fellow
accused Of arson, was copr icted, and re-
commended by the jury t. mercy. In the
case Of the State against Hinch Hughes.
for assault and battery and carrying con-
cealcd weapon, the accused was pronounced
not guilty. Goode Head, the young white
man tried for murder, was found guilty Of
manslaugher. A young white man named
Snipes, accused Of assault and battery with
intent to kill, was found guilty of assault
and battery and sentenced To six months
in the county Jail or fine of one hundred
dollars. A young white man named Yonce
accused of assault and battery, was cleared.
Falkner, indicted for aggravated assault,
was found guilty, and sentenced 10 pay
5000. He paid it and departed.
In the beginning of the second week.
and with the jury Of the second week,
Sheriff QUITS was cleared of The charge
of allowing prisoners TO escape. Or in
palmer English, the jury acquitted him
Of evil intent In allowing certain prisoners
too much liberty and too many privileges.
Of course we all understand and appre
ciate The fact that it was simply too much
kindness of heart that led our good Sheriff
into this error, if error there was. On Fri,
day, Matte Isaac the reputed Clintonward
murderess, is to be tried. The case of the
State vs.. Joe White and two other negro
men for riot and murder-the Dark Cor
ner negroes implicated in the riot at the
time of the killing Of young Black well.
has been continued until next term.
Goode Head and Joe Moore have not
been sentenced.
The Judge has instructed the Sheriff
and his constables 10 allow none but at
torneys and officials Of the Court to enter,
or at all events frequent, the bar. In
such weather as we have now, the said
bar often becomes very uncomfortable
from being too crowded.

As regards The prospecting party, We dc
! not hesitate to say that We hope they wi
see matters clear enough TO be thoroughly
disappointed, and that they will speedily
return to old Edgefeld-to live and die
where, all things considered, they will be
infinitely happier and better off than any
where else.
Narrow Gauge Meeting at Denny's.
This meeting at Denny's on Thursday

numbers, in enthusiasm, and in practical
result. Saluda's wisdom, public spirit
and money will be there. And God grant
that the outcome..maY be such as 10 for
ever nullify all wish and necessity for the
sundering Of Saluda and Edge6eld.
Capt. B. r. Tillman.
This gentleman made TIC speech of the
occasion at the Bennettsville meeting. AS
it has not been published, and as we have
not seen Capt. Tillman since its delivery, we
cannot safely comment upon its scope and
intenta. We earnestly hope that the Exec.
utive Committee Of the Association will
have 1t published in pamphlet form. They
ought to do 30.
The Johnston Baptistery.
The baptistery of the Johnston Baptist
Church is in progress Of erection, and
from the size of the room as one drives
along the high road, promises to bea large
and of course well-ordered affair. Indeed
we have no doubt it will be beautiful. o
all the churches in our county, this one
most continually and most literally ex-
emplifes its zeal.
Studying Law.
We find our highly esteemed and very
gifted young friepd. Mr.. James P Bean,
ut Johnston. beginning the study Of law
This profession will suit his head and his
turn Of mind precisely. We are glad to
know of his resolve in this respect, and
