4 Sahbath.breaking Judge.

There is one thing that should be strong
" impressed upon the minds of all young
peonle and that is the vital importance of a
proper observance OF the Sabbath.
We know of nothing that has so strong q
tendency to the utter corruption and de-
moralization of people as a disregard for
the Sabbath day, for with this disregard
there comes disregard for all things holy
and righteous.
The way to impress upon the minds Of
tie young the great importance Of this mat
ter is ior people in prominent positions to
set the example. Preaching upon this sub
iect will do but little good so long as the ex-
ample Q: people Of position and influence is
set the other way. Recently in Sumter
there vas the shocking spectacle Of Judge
of our high Court holding Court on Sunday.
1t was shameful violation Of the Sabbath
day that all right thinking people will pro-
test against.
The convenience Of the Judge, jury, and
one OF two lawyers is not to be considered.
and is no justification or excuse.
1t was shame upon our boasted Chris
tan civilization, and o fearful example to
the young of a disregard for the Sabbath
day-and We sincerely trust that such q
thing will never occur in our midst again.
The tendency of the times IS too much to-
ward disregard for the Sabbath any way,
and when men in high places" Will not
respect the Sabbath what are We to expect:
-Sunter Adrance.

Hens, Eggs, and Dogs.

IDA, June lS.-Mr. Editor:-Wont you
let the TINES champion the hens Of Claren-
don county They are faithful in their ro-
cation (egg production), but, alas, all their
faithfulness is set at naught because of n
vagabond army of suck-egg dogs prowling
around nights. This is a great nuisance,
and ali expensive one. Let the TINES bring
this matter before our people and our II PIE
sentativeS venture plan by which this
curse can be abated if not entirely removed.
The dog tag does no good as it is now man
aged. We believe that but a very few pay
the tax Now let our superintendent of
district highways be empowered to collect
the tax on dogs and kill ell on which the
tax is not paid. These superintendents
will generally be able to know or find out
the owner Of vagrart thieving ours. The
Auditor does not know them, and conse-
quently very few are ever listed for taxa
ton.
Now, Mr. Editor, it appears to mo that
such law as have led to outline would
tend very much TO mitigate this intolerable
vagrant cur nuisance. Let the superln-
tendent receive small commission on all
dog tax collected; the net proceeds will then
be much larger than under the present sys-
tenn }.

Two Chicken Tales.

Mai. 2, G. Benbow tells us that some
time ago one Of his hens, Of her own
voition and without his desire or kncwl-
edge. began sitting on one egg, which, in
due time, produced one chicken. A short
time after this chicken was hatched, she,
possibly disgusted with her former effort,
began sitting again, this time on seven
eggs. The young chick went kind o part
nership this time, each night resting snrsly
b;neath It's mothers wing. In duo time all
seven eggs were hatched, and, after carrying
the chickens a short time, she, probably
not yet satisfied with Ler two former efforts,
has again gone to sitting; and her first
chick, though not frying size get, has kindly
taken the little orphans (the second brood}
under its care, and is carrying them around,
clucking and scratching in genuine moth
erly style. Maj. Benbow says tie chickens
can be seen any day in his yard.
Dr.. A. J. White, Of Foreston, tells Of e
most remarkable luSus naturce that recently
came under his individual observation. A
hen had been killed in his yard for table
use, and, while preparing her, an egg cov-
cred with shell was found in her. This
egg was broken, and t. the surprise Of all and
horror of the cook well-developed chicken
was in the egg. A reliable gentleman tells
us this as coming direct from DR.. White
who says it is literally true, strange as it
may appear.
Since the above was in type, another gen
tleman tells US that there is q still more re-
markable occurrence connected with this
fact. He says that a few days before the
hen was killed Dir. John White, grown son
of the Doctors, saw this hen fly out Of the
fodder loft, cackling as is the custom OF
hens after laying an egg. He found in the
loft, instead of an egg q neao!y hatched chick
en-. He thought little strange Of it, as no
hen was sitting at the time, but gave it little
thought. However, he new believes that
the hen laid lice chicken. What has science
to say of this?
The above freaks are given for facts. and
not as tales.

School Exhibition in Salem.

Me-. EDuoR:-Will you please allow ME q
little space that I may tell you Of delight
full exhibition which it was my good fortune
to attend on Friday last the 22nd? I refer
to the closing exercises Of Prof. B. B.
Thompson's school, and do assure you
that it was indeed an enjoyable occasion.
Salem's fair daughters were there in great
numbers, and you may know, without my
writing it, that the young men were also
there. for it is said that the bees are lnvarl-
ably found where the flowers are in bloom
Seldom, indeed, sir, that You can gather an
audience so select and yet so large, especial
ly in the country. 1t was to my mind, con-
elusive evidence Of the interest taken IN the
great cause of education. The people Of this
entire community are greatly aroused up
on the subject, and how can it be otherwise,
when such efficient teachers are at work IN
that section? Well may the patrons con-
graduate themselves in having procured
the services of Thompson and the
Messrs. Hill, all of whom are deeply inter
ested in the dissemination Of knowledge
among the masses. had almost forgotten
what set out to do. An organ, two violins
and a flute discoursed soft sweet melodies,
whilst tie scholars acquitted themselves IN
their recitations, declamations, and dia-
loeues, in such a manner as to satisfy the
most incredulous that care has been bestow-
ed upon them. Capt. S. R. Chandler pre-
sided with dignity and gracefully presented
each of the speakers.
After the exercises Of the school were over,
the chairman introduced Prof. Thompson,
who delivered chaste, beautiful, and well
prepared address upon the subject, South
Carolina; past, present, and future" The
learned speaker gave evidence of great re-
search, as he contrasted the past with the
present, and drew beautiful pictures Of the
future greatness of OUT beloved old Carolina.
He was followed by Rev. Nr. Gleaton with an
address upon education, in which he forci-
bly reminded his hearers of the probability
of the negro outstripping his white competi-
tor in the race Of lite, taking the higher
ground that knowledge is power, and that
the negro race was making greater efforts
and sacrifices than the whites, that their
children should procure an education.
Capt. Bradham, being ever ready, was called
upon, and from the upturned faces and
open mouths, imagine he completely cap
tivated his audience. Your correspondent
promised them speech upon some future
OCCASION.
And now, Mr.. Editor, close by saying
that if ever you are passing in that land OF
plenty you will find the latch string hang
ing on the outside of erery door, and within
a generous and unstinted hospitality will
be extended. y.
