The gloomy, dismal and desolate look
ing edifice, known as the bat cave"
emblematic of the sad wrecks of vice
and shame, ought to be sufficient terror
to evil-dOers, so that they might not
have to enter within its horrid precincts.
1t is said, the horror of vice, from its
frightful mien, wears of, upon too much
familiarity with the haggard monster
but if it is what the external look of the
"bat cave" indicates, then the last moral
nerve, and the last remnant Of the sense
of shame, must be gone. before this nat

CONTRIBUTORS NOTES.
Points and Brief Sketches, and Actual
Needs of the Times.

Yesterday, in the District court, the
States attorney made in a case of as
sault and battery, originating in words
spoken, some telling hits against the
otficious use of the tongue in our neigh
boris business. The plaintiff had sus-
tanned serious wounds and injuries,
causing him to be laid up for quite a
time. The defence was very creditably
conducted by Mr.. Maydole. whose
speech received special attention from
Mr.. Paschal in his closing argument.
The defendant, as we were informed,
was given thirty days to make payment
to the fiddler for his rather high amuse-
ment against the peace and dignity,
and majesty too, of the state. The argu-
ment of defendants counsel. doubtless,
had its effect in the modified penalty by
the intelligent jury. 1t Is noteworthy
and honorable to the plsintitf, In these
days of mob rule. that he seeks redress
and protection before the legal tribunal.

lence of the mob spirit in this land Of

The Columbia Register of the Sth inst
says:
For several weeks the hearts of oul
entire community have gone forth in
deep sympathy and solicitude at the ill.
ness of Mrs. Haskell, the wife of Major
John G. Haskell and daughter of Sena'
tor Wade Hampton. It has been known
that for the past week her condition has
been moat critical, and as the painful
fact developed on Tuesday that the

ing beyond the power of skill or love to
save her, the expressions of kindly inter.
est and sorrow have been heard on all
hands and among all classes of the com.
munity where her condition has become
known.
She passed quietly away from earth
yesterday at about 4 p. m., leaving to hel
sorrowing loved ones the assurance that
a life which has been so completely de
voted to the exercise of the amenities
and charities which alone make it worth
living, had prepared her for its fruition
in the rest which remains for the people
of God.
We are sure that the deep af1iction in
which the death of this elect lady has
plunged her husband and father aud the
large family circle which she has left,
will awaken feeling Of sorrow almost
as widespread as that which thrilled the
public mind when the life of her honor.

Primary Election Wanted.

Mr.. EDITOR: The people Of the Third
Congressional District should agree to
have their Primary Elections on the
same day, and to include the Office of
Congressman with the others, to be voted
for in this way. 1t is necessary, now
that there is a division of sentiment in
the Democratic Party on the tariff,
silver and other questions that we should
have them discussed before the people by
the candidates for Congress. If, however,
the Convention system is to be contin.
ued, there will be no necessity for dis
cussion, as this system is for the politi'
clan and not for the people. But if, per
contra, the people are expected to make
the choice, let US have the Primary
Election system, and before, hand dis
cussion by the candidates at one or more
places in each County on given days.

Report of the Agricultural Department

COLUMBIA, April 9.-The State de-
partment of agriculture has received
262 returns from county correspondents,
relating to the area and condition of
small grain, and the condition of live
stock, farm labor, &c.
The area in wheat has been decreased
4 per cent as compared with last year,
and the condition is reported at IS, with
100 representing an average. The area
in oats has been increased 81 per cent,
and the condition is reported at IA. It
is estimated that 25 per cent. of the
wheat planted and rs per cent. of the
fall sown oats were winter killed. The
oats have been very generally re-sown iu
the spring, and the original area will not
be materially diminished.
The condition Of horses and work
stock is reported as an average, and in
the upper counties they are reported in
better condition than for several years.
There is slight falling off in the condi.
tion of cattle, sheep and hogs, owing to
the severity of the winter and the lack
ofiproper care and shelter. Losses of cat.
tie and hogs from disease are reported,
but such losses have not been serious.
The correspondents estimate that
owing to the abundant corn crop of 1885,
and the necessity for greater economy,
that the amount of supplies purchased
will be decreased 20 per cent. below last
year. The reports show that per cent,
or about $4,000 bales, of last years cot.
ton crop is in the hands of farmers.
A correspondent in Berkeley County
says that fully 60 per cent. of the sea
island cotton is in the hands of planters.
The correspondents generally agree
that the priority lien law has not affected
farming operations materially, the only
effect being a decreased number of liens
taken from farm hands and the conse-
quent improvement of farm labor.
One hundred and seventy y-eight of the
correspondents report the labor "good,"
twelve as chad" and seventy.two as "in.
different"
Estimated upon the returns received
by the department, and without deduc.
tions for the area in wheat and oats de-
stroyed by cold weather and other caus-
es. and which may not have been replant-
ed, the area of the present year may be
approximately stated as follows: Wheat
188,137 acres, and oats 455, ,246 acres.
The sales of commercial fertilizers in
the State from November to April 1
have amounted to 104,5S1 tons, against
109,504 tons last year.-Correspondence

The Earle's Bridge Question.

Mr.. EDITOR: In your issue of two
weeks ago, you asked for information
from the Fork Township concerning the
propriety of building a new bridge on
Seneca River, and the .propriety of
changing the road, and building the new
bridge near the mouth of Deep Creek.
II am highly in favor Of a new bridge,
and more substantial and durable one
than the bridge that is now at Shallow
Ford. That bridge, in my judgment,
cannot be repaired So as to make it any
thing like safe bridge. The frame
work is very deficient, and there is en-.
tirely too much weight on the frame. 1
do not see how it could be repaired SO as
to be safe. lam not posted on the cost
of iron bridges, nor how they are con.
structed, but am fully satisfied that an
iron bridge would, in the end, be cheaper
to the County, than wooden bridge, but
i doubt the propriety of building the
bridge in new place and changing the
road. I do not believe the change would
be to the advantage of the general public
of the Fork. While it would be advan-
tageous to some, il would be disadvan-
tage to others for instance, the people
living above Shallow Ford, in the neigh
borhood of Bruce's Ford. The change
would make the distances to Anderson
from these points considerably further.
It would be an advantage to the neigh.
borhood below Shallow Ford. but we
should not be selfish, but favor anything
that would be general benefit to the
people. I think my friend who wrote
the communication in the last issue of
the. INTELL1GENCER is mistaken about
the distance in the proposed change. 1
am of the opinion that it would be at
least one mile further from any point
from Mr.. D. S. Whites to Mr.. N. 0.
Farmers on the proposed new road. 1
am satisfied that the road on the new
line from Green Pond to the river would
be shorter than the present road from
Shallow Ford to T. ). McClure's, but
have doubts whether the road on the
proposed new line would be any better
than the present road, as [ think it
would be difficult matter to locate a
road from the river to intezsect the
Townville road that would be any i'm.
prosement on the old road.
: am in favor of economy at home, in

the County and in the Stale, and if tie
County Commissioners decide to build
an iron bridge tie rcck arches of the
present bridge would curtail the expen-
ses of building the new bridge. The ma
sonry work of the present bridge is first
class work. There is no question that
all will agree that we ought to have a
better bridge than the present one.
This is matter that think the County
Commissioners should consider we'll be-
fore they act. This, am confident,
they will do. Respectfully,
G. w. MARET.
