Such an amendment to the -lair was before the Legislature, and we thought it had passed; but in looking - ver the acts of the last session (jnst pcblished) we find ne such change in the law.

The authorities have issued orders to conduetors of freight trains not to allow passepgers on their trains under any circamstances en and after the 15th in stant. Ths reason given is that no ac commodations are provided for passen gers on these trains. Well, it is rather h#rd on passengers to have to ride on trains where there are no accommtoda t.ions; but it seems to us if the passen gers could stand it the road might. Fire. A house belonging to Mr. Win. Lang ford was burned down Sunday morning about 2 o'clock. The house was a two story one with four rooms, the first story of brick.

Another Negro Killed. Fielding McDowell was killed Mon day night, the 7th instant, on Mr. P. B. Workman's place in thi6 County. The Ceroner's jury returned a verdict that Simon Johnson did the killing. Job, a brother of Simon, says he (Job) killed Fielding,in self-defense. Job and Field ing had been to town that day, and were quarreling and fighting all the way home, both being in liquor. Job split Fielding's head open with a fence rail, and Dr. Patton sewed up the wound. The quarreling was resumed, Simon and one or two others taking part. In a short time Fielding was shot with an Enfield rifle and killed instantly. The witnesses all testified that Simon fired the rifle. Simon and Job are both in jail. The parties are all colored. Almanacs Wanted. The medical fraternity, or rather the quack nostrum dealers, or to be more polite the patent medicine men, are re quested to send down a few tons of their almanacs, as the demand just now far exceeds the supply. The colored chil dren go for them with an avidity truly astonishing. What they want with them we can't understand. It's lively to be about the Drug Stores as the pic caninnies come by from school, to see them go for Almanacs, but the Drug gists don't appreciate it as fully as they might; and when they are waited on by a score of little darkeys and asked for an Almanac, they show signs of im patience. We were in- at Fant's one afternoon last week, when a squad of colored urchins came in with the usual request-"take 'em, take 'em all," said the Doctor, who tired of doing a retail business concluded to close out at one venture. They did not wait for a sec ond invitation and in a twinkling the Doctor's counter was bare, and he fetched a sigh of relief as he said. "dog on-'em, that load is off my mind." Personal. Capt. R. H.

But "fine words but ter no parsnips"; and it is not so much what Garfield says as wbat Garfield does that the country is interested in. It has been reported in Newberry for the past week that Mr. J. M. Seigler, formerly an engineer on the Greenville & Columbia Railroad is dead; that he died in Florida, where he has been em ployed for some time past as an en gineer. We hope the report is not true. Mr. Thos. Abrams while returning home from town on last Sale-day met with a serious accident. His mules ran away with the wagon in which he was riding and threw him out. He sustain ed some very bad bruises, and for a time his condition was critical. He is nw greatly improved, and will be al[ right soon. When the up night freight reached Prosperity Wednesday night between 9 and 10 o'clock it was out of wood. The engineer called upon Messrs. Weeler & Moseley for assistance, whc waked up their drayman and sent him out into the woods for a load. There is very little wood along the road now. Whether it is because the road refuses to pay enough for it we do not know, bu have he.a-d so Tne engines are a]l services is the singing. If it be poo there is one important factor crip pled. One of the first things to be se cured is the co-operation of all the mem bers of the church, and others as well if possible. It is a peculiar service anc seems to be an endowment of God foi the exercise of all the people. To hav( a few persons doing the singing for the whole congregation is a shame and a t sin. The pastor has more to de witi this matter than is generally allowed. He will probably know who can lead the singing so as to secure the voices of all. As to what should be sung, the pastor or leader of the meeting ougbl to know best." The Methodist Parsonage of the New. berry Circuit. The Methodists of Newberry Circuit have taken a new departure in the right direction with reference to their Par sonage. They have so divided it among the churches that each church will have, as it were, a parsonage of one room to furnish, and to keep in good repair. Each department will be kept separate; and the ladies in each church will fur nish their own department according to their taste or ability. Some of the churches have already begun to work with earnestness and energy-all are moving. Now as the ladies have taken in hand the furnishing and beautifying the in side of the Parsonage, will the gentle men take in hand the other necessary repairs upon the premises. A little paint would improve the looks of things around there. We congratulate the good people of Newberry Circuit, and we hope that we will soon be able to chronicle the completion of the work so nobly inau gurated. Then we will have two neat parsonages on the same street. We have since learned that Mr. An drew J. Kilgore has been appointed a committee of one-and a good one by the way-to see to the outside work. That the necessary work will be soon done by him we have no doubt. The Sunday Magazine for April. The present number overflows with reading-matter to suit all classes, and which cannot fail .to prove instructive, entertaining and profitable. It is a publication which must find a welcome in every family. The contents are abundant and varied, but we can only glance at them. 'How the Poor Folks Live,' by the Editor, is deeply interest ing, and the twelve illustratibns serve to intensify the interest. 'Memories of Egypt,' by S. K. Hunt, 'Easter and the Days Before It,' 'Good Friday in Munich,' 'The Great South American Struggle,' etc., are among the particu larly notable articles. In the depart ment of fiction are, a continuation of the admirable serial 'Oat of the World, by Mrs. O'Reilly; 'A Ghost Story,' by Rev. J.

South Carolina right, or at least that par of South Carolina of which I shall speak before the many readers of the HERALD and especially in the eyes of "Palmetto. Now "Palmetto's" letter in the last week HERALD reminds me of an incident whiel occurred the year before the war ended be tween the lanented Henry L., then Gen lenniug, of Toonb' old Brig.de, :nd soldier of the 15th Ga. Regt. Gen. Ben uing catiie out, as Colonel of the 17t] G.+. Regt , Toombs' Brigade being comn posed of the 2nd, 15th, 17th and 20th Ga Regiments. Of course Gen. Benning neve forgot the 17th when he was promoted t< the rank of Brigadier-General, and ono dark rainy night when we were on a forced march from the Darbytown road in Vir ginia to Petersburg, the soldier had .to bt good grit who did not straggle some. Gen Benning marched that night in the rear of his Brigade, and as the stragglers wouk fall back beside the General's horse ht would call out, "What Regiment do yot belong to, sir?" If the soldier said, "to thf 17th Regt., sir," the General would say, "Well, 17th, it's a bad night to be on s forced march, but we must do the best we can; forward on, 17th, to your regiment, it's just ahead of you." But if the strag gler unluckily belonged to the 2nd, 15th or 2uth, or some other command, the General would draw his sword s.nd with an oath, order him forward, saying- at the same time, "The whole Brigade is stragglina back into the 17th till she can scarcely move at all." Well, soldiers were not slow to learn "the ropes," ar,d a young Corporal of the 15th Ga., had found that it was an advantage to belong to the 17th, and about 11 o'clock, tired and weary, he had fallen be bind till he was alongside of Gen. Benning. "What Regt., do you belong to, sir?" ask ed the General. "To the 17th Ga., Gene ral," meekly replied the Corporal. "I be lieve you lie, sir," replied the General. It being very dark and the Corporal knowing the General would never find him out, ask ed, "Who are you anyhow, sir ?" "I aui Gen. Benning, sir, of the 17th Ga., sir, now who are you, sir ?" at the same time drawing his sword and wheeling his horse. "I am Corporal Bogs, sir, of the 15th," re plied the soldier, as ie sid over the stone wall into the field and disappeared in the darkness, leaving the irate General stand ing in the road calling to the Adjutant to have "that man arrested." Now we feel that we will compare to "Palmetto" ai least as did Corporal Bogs to Gen. Ben fling. "Palmet to" claims to have traveled sis months in Georgia; well we have just com. pieted a three. weeks' tour ,in Ab,bevilli County and no other, and as we shall speal only "whereof we know" we will conflut our letter only to Abbeville,'and while d~e have no issue to make with "Palietto" wr do say that while "Palmetto" was traveling "six months in Georgia", that Abbevilki Cou:nty was making the most giganti< strides to the front, both politically, reli gion.sly and agriculturally, than she has it any thf-ee years of her existence before "Palmetto" saw the Haiman Plow Factor) in all its bl:ast, and it is no doubt a sigh worth seeing; but I 'will venture to saa that there are as many of Haiman's Flows sold and used in Abbe'ville County as anj County in Georgia.s They are goo-l Plows otr farmers know it. . We have been using largely for the last 12 months the Aver: Turn Plows and Sweeps, also the famous Dickson Sweep, as well as Dickson CJottor Seed. We ahio use in Abbeville licCor mick's Reaper and Binder, as well as one or~two others which give good satisfaction As rolling as our country is we have -morn than one of G. & G. Cooper's Traction o1 Road Engines which did well in th4 threshing season. We use HalIl's Self Feeding Gin and Condenser as well a. Smith's Double Power Press. We have Smith's Patent Gin Sharpener ; one mat can whet a gin perfectly with it in 5 hourz whether he ever saw a gin before or not ifE "Palmetto" will come over to Abbevilli just ndw he will see the Simmns' Compos Distributor at work in almost every field one hand and horse doing the work of one horse and three hands, and doing it splen didl ; he will also see countless number: of "West's Guano Distributors" putting out Fertirizers, and if "Palmetto" w ill visit u]: about the 15th of April he will see that wi know just how to plant cotton with Cottot Planters. The people of Abbeville used last season not less than 250 Rhodes, Black. lidge and Daw Law Machines. 'Malmetto' is right when he says these are the stan. dard machines. "Palmetto" says that oni man borrowed money to pay for a County. or bought it on time, we forget whih but it all amounts to the same, and inl years made $5,000. Well, the 18th day o last March (1880), a your.g man 19 year. old bought Calhoun Township for $25, foi the Rhodes Cotton Planter, and made cleai $180 that season, having only a month t< do the work in, and to our own knowledg4 he will make $500 clear this season. Cat "Palmetto" find a Georgian who will beal this young man ? At r. J. L. Brock & Son at Honea Path, known all over the State a~ large manufacturers of wagons and carri ages, told us it.. February that they ha gone entirely out of tne business and were making a specialty of Rbodes & Blacklidge Cotton Planters. W. C. Bro,ek, at Due West, is making Cotton Planters and Comt post Distributors. James A. McAlister, o Lwndesville, is mak ing a specialty of Seed Drills and Compost Distributors, and we will venture, to say that there nill be not less than 700 Cotton Seed Distributors ir Abeville County this year. We desire to say to "Palmetto" that we are abreast with the times. We do not know how Newber ry is, as we have not visited the lower por tion of the State for 3 or 4 years, but Ab. beville can make her mile in 2.14, and there is not much better time yet on tee.od Now, Messrs. Editors, I do not wish to be uinderstood,to disapprove of anything which "Palmetto" has said as regards the use of labor-saving machines.
