TERRACINu LAND.--We are glad to sec
that the farmers all over the country are
beginning to see the benefit of terracing
their land instead of using the old hillside
bitches. A careful study of the matter
will convince any practical farmer that ter
racing is the only way to save tho land and
make gradual improvement possible. BY
this means the land is made to absorb
moisture which would otherwise. rua of, il
stops washes, and the fertilizers that arc
used from year to year, instead of being
washed away by the rains, arc caught by
che terraces, and thus all that the plant
does not take up is left in tho soil. Those
farmers who have experience with this
matter are enthusiastic in its praise, and
common sense teaches that it is good thing.
Whenever this country is once terraced
and the barren hillsides Of this Piedmont t
section is reclaimed, we may expect to see
q wonderful change in the condition of the
ountry.--Laucns advertiser.

to those who think that lawyers are too

who think that lawyers are public enemies !;
that lawyers have no patriotism, but only
want the Offices for private grcel aud per-

Can anybody point out any bad leg:sla-

responsible foS? How could such a thing
be when they have always been in minor

"A BLOODY TRAGEDY. - Grecu Vile,
MSrch 2.-Ahorriblc tragedy occurred at
Piedmont this morning. james w. King,
resident of Piedmont, after accompanying
to the depot his brtther-iu-law Phillips,
who took the up-freight train, returned to
his dwelling in the village, murdered his
wife by stabkius her in the breast and
throat with knife, and after this bloody
deed cut his own throat.
Parties who suspected something wrong
broke open the door of their room and
found Mrs. King lying on tho floor in
pool of blood and her husband lying across
her, both dead, and the knife lying in
Kings breast. What led to this dreadful
event seems to be wrnpt in mystery. Evil
IDENTIFY King aud his wife did not live ami
cably togeth6f. n circumstance creating
this belief is that King had recently noti-
fed merchants Of Piedmont not to let his
wife have goods on his account. King
earned his living by di,ching and some of
his children worked as operatives in the
Piedmont Factory. But little can bo

BAnN-YARD MANURE.-The chief value
Of barn-yard manure, an exchange says
very truly, lies in the manner in which it is
saved. IF allowed to be drenchcd and
washed by rain, its soluble portions are
washed away, and these contain about all
there is Of value in any fertilizer. If, on
the ether hand, moist manure is thrown
into pile, aud allowed t. heat, its valuable
constituents are volatilzed, and pass imme-
diately into that vast storchouse of fertility,
the air. Hence, under the action of water
and strong fermentation the valuable COM
stituents Of manure may be disspated until
so little remains as to be practically worth
less. In the feeding of animals in the
fields or in pasturago this fertility is not
lost. The soluble portions arc washed out,
and descend into the soil, and are held for
future use. The practical saving of manure
of yards and stables therefore becomes a
matter Of importance. Two means are con-
slant and simple the prevention Of fermen-
tation in heaps, and the washing Of the
soluble portions out Of the yards. The
first may be prevented by spreading where
it may be tramped under the feet of ami
mails and the second by forming the yard
dishing and with q clay bottom that will
hold the liuuid

A SAD REVERSE OF FoRTUNE.-The
other day met on the street a man, now
old, gray and rather seedy, who has had
some curious variations of fortune. He is
descended from one of the oldest aud
proudest families in the South. In early
manhood he was Professor in University
along with friend who now holds a dis
tiuguished political position. Then he be-
came n popular and learned minister of the
Gospel. When the war broke out he join
ed the Confederate army and attained high
command. After the conflict he affiliated
with the Republicans aud, for year or
two, led a factional fight, in a reconstruct-
ed State. His gside lost the game, and
from that time, he has apparently gone
down, down, until the wreck Of so much
talent aud courageis fearful to contemplate
Out Of his worn vest pocket he takes har.
monicon b blow the old war tunes of the
South; aud when he can get boon compan-
ions, tells scrofulous anecdotes and sings il
a quavoring voice, salacious songs. Car
there beauything more dreadful than nobl
gifts perverted to such uses!
