A Few Maxims.

There is no system of Inaxims or pro-
fssEional rules that know of that is
Z ibid down for the guidance of the jour
nnlist, said Charles A. Dana to the Wis
ccnain editors. The physician has his
system of ethics and that sublime oath
az Hippocrates, which human wisdom
has never transcribed. The lawyer
aaso has his code of ethics, and the rules
d she conrts and the rules of practice
which he is instructed in; but / have
naycr met with system OF maxims that
seaned 10 me to be perfectly adapted to
&he general direction of newspaper
zaan; and I have written down few
Eazaciples which occurred to me, which,
with your permission, gentlemen, I will

Another Road Trouble in Salem.

Lest Tuesday, Sep. 11th, the
Bosrd OF County Commissioners
held a meeting in Motifs Town
ship, in Salem, to take in the
full merits of new public road,
recently granted by the Board. The
aforesaid road, though only mile in
length, has been bone Of great con i,
tention, and threatens to be the fruit
full source of more to come. Thereg-
ular petition was duly handed in, ard
all the necessary steps taken for open
ing the road, when some of the par
ties living near the road came over,
and after inspecting the signatures,
pronounced some of them forgeries.
There being so much feeling in the
matter, and contemplation largely
signed, and placed on file in the Com
missioners' Office, by many whose
names appeared upon the original
paper, it was deemed necessary to
overlook the grounds, and take testi-
mony, before any further action was
considered.
The two sides for and against the
road, are said to be up to fever heat:
and trouble may rise from it yet.

What Does it Mean =?

Wilson's, Sept. 1.-THE writer was
met this morning by young man OF
our community who seemed to be
greatly troubled. Upon asking why
he was in this condition he gave US
the following account of his troubles.
Says he, "Our cooks sisters mothers
daughter has eloped with one of the
Young men from Mallett's, and I was
waited upon this morning by young
brother Of of the bride-elect, and in
formed that we would have to do the
best we could for breakfast. This, Of
course, was an exciting bit OF news.
Upon inquiry later we were fortunate
enough to obtain an interview with
the groom, and from him got the fol-
lowing history of the affair: BOSS,
youner know bow it am wild we. We
not so fortinit as youner. Youner al!
have money fer git marry on, and
youner git marry and have big time.
When we have to git We gal We do
de best we kin do, specially when de
gals mudder coniects to de disunion.
Boss, dats de way wild we, we git de
notion in we he'd dat we git marry
any how so I take him fer ter walk
Sunday ebepin and me and him walks
right up to NIanrings and der we get
der rebbern ter marry we right dere.
Boss youner ought to hear how him
mudder rare round, she sware she
guine fer kill We both if we come
back specially me. But boss We
guine ter go to Georgia wid Capt
Mellett, den him mudder can't git up
wild him. Now boss der freight train
am comm and I promise him I go up
on de freight and we so right on ter
Georgia" AS the train pulled off the
darkey who is known as Dutch
stood on the rear Of the coach, and
shouted to his friends, 81 go up and
git him and We go ter Georgia den
him mudder can do as him please"
So ended the interview, and your
correspondent was about to return to
his home, thinking that the interest
ing topics of the day had been dis
cussed and that there was nothing
more for his ears when be was some
what astonished to hear that our post
master was selling postal cards at the
rate Of twenty-six for q cent and e
quarter. This we fnd is the case.

Last Sabbath evening, while the
different congregations were engaged
in worship, suddenly and not far from
the Court House square there burst
upon the still night air the oft-repeat-
ed blasts of some instrument, that
sounded very much like fox-huntef's
horn calling to dogs; and the dogs
all over town, especially those OF the
hound persuasion, responded in an
swering howls. This wanton disre-
gard Of the sanctity of the day ar

though he mag have no religious
scruples himself, he ought to respect

The Piasted Cotton.

There appears to be wide spread
alarm on the part of our farmers, in
consequence OF the damage done to
the cotton already opened and to the
partially opened bolls, during the
recent terrific storms of rain that al
most every day for two weeks or
more deluged the whole country. The
open cotton, in many instances, as we
stated last week, presents the unusu-
al and almost unheard of spectacle OF
the seed sprouting in the lint while
still upon the stalks In some in
stances these cotton sprouts are two
inches high and contain two leaves
The outlook is far from being cheer
full and promising.

Snicr News from Greeleyrille.

GREELEEv1LLE, Sept. 14.-After a
few days sunshine another heavy rain
to-day from the south. The late
cloudy and rainy weather of two
weeks duration has seriously injured
cotton and some late provision crops,
while upland rice though well grown
and fully headed out is found almost
entirely without grain, owing it is
supposed to want of sufficient moist
ure at the right time. In other por-
tions of the country cyclones and
oyerfows, and in New England frost,
have been perhaps more destructive.
The primary election of the Sth
inst. resulted in continuing in Office
two out of three members of the Leg
islature, and FIVE out of ten county
officers. With as the primary is a
simpler process than with you. The
white voter is not required to have
his name on q club list. If he is
qualified to vote at the general cleo
ton, and is consistent Democrat,
10 more is required. Candidates are
assessed for campaign purposes, and
they are notified that the names Of
those who pay will be found on list
at the voting places When the votes
are counted and aggregated the can
didate having the greatest number is
decl&-eo nominated, and there's an

He is writing up the genealogy OF The

other link viii be added to Williams
burgs historic chain.
Recently a festival was held in the
new depot here, and handsome sum
of money realized, which will be ap-

rain interfering, doubtless much more
would have been realized.
