BiDce the constitutional convention
only three new counties have been
formed in South Carolina under the
provisions made by that body, as we
^recall. The smaller county senti
ment seemed at that time to be quite
strong, but if itfwas it has sinoe ma
terially weakened. A n amber of new
county schemes have been proposed,
bot generally have failed because
there has seldom been any good rea
son for them. D The movement, as a
role, starts in some town ambitions to
be a county seat, end opposition in
existing counties (bas been too strong
for dismemberment. Oar ooantioB
now are not', ?too Urge, and to split
them np into smaller, results in little
more than making two sets of oonnty
offioials to be paid when one was en
tirely sufficient.
Many persona make a somewhat
serious blunder and at the same timo
commit an offense'ogainst the govern
ment hy carelessly, or otherwise,
sending or attcmpting^to send first
class mail matter (writing) through
the mails as second, third or fourth
class matter. That is, they will pre
pare a paokago or parcel of news
papers or periodicals or merchandise,
as the case may be, and slip a letter
or other wtitten message in the paok
ago or parcel for transmission through
and by mail at the second, third or
fourth class rate of postage. Section
484 of the postal law provides that
any person found guilty of this of
fense shall be fined for each and every
like offense not less than ten dollars.
We merely mention these facts for the
information and guidance of the un

The last issue of the Wicnsboro
News and Herald contained the fol
lowing timely editorial, which is ap
plicable to the farmers of Anderson
County, who should read it carefully
and carry ont the advice given in it:
"There have been about thirty car
loads of mules sold in Fairfield Coun
ty within the pa3t four mouths. This
means a total of about 800 mules
shipped in here from the western mar?
kets. The average prioe of these
mules on tho home market bas been
close to, if not altogether, as much as
$200. It took more than $125,000 out
of the connty to bring these moles
Itere.* The marvel is that in the face
?0? the&o figures Fairfield farmers can
n?t see the wisdom of raising their
males' here at home. It is easier to.
raise one mule than it is four bahs
of cotton that it takes topsy for one
even at the present prices. There aie
great possibilities here in the mattir
of. E took raising, and the present prices
of western stock would certainly jus

To say wo farmers are having mild
weather for all kinda of farm work,
would only be faintly expressing our
opinion of these spring-like dava of
warm sunshine, which are really being
highly appreciated by the "tillers of
de r I," for progress is being made
tow "ids the preparation of the coming
crop. The cotton acreage of our im
mediate community will evidently be
equal to those of preceding y oars, but.
however, we should not think it will
exceed that of .'ast year. A good
acreage of oats were pot in last fall,
and some wheat, and our farmers al
ways grow their coin at home to fully
supply their every need, and hence
we are not inclined to think of an in
creased acreage of the fleecy staple
this season.

Some of our neighbors attended the
burial of M ra. Mary Martin at Sharon
last Sunday. She died on the 10th of

?Since the ruin last week making the

been malling things hauling fertilizers,

crop will l>? made. Very little in said
about reducing tho acreage. Every
man hopes "the other fellow" will do
the reduction net ami let bim plant all

scant; nven now, and when the rains
come pouring down and tbo cotton
Heids look like hay patcbes then you'll
hear a howl tor "help" tbut wi?l almost
equal tho cry from Macedonia. Would
it not bo a good thing for tho country
if cotton would go down to 8 cents per

As we seldom see anything from this
section of the County, we will try to
give the many readers of The Intelli

The Farmers' Union at Kheuhama is
in a flourishing condition. This is one
of tho strongest Unions in the State,
und all its members take an active
interest in the workings of the Union.
Na half-heartedness is noticed, bnt all
seem to have a desiro to puBh ever on
ward nud do all tho good that they
can. This Union is doing a large
amount of co-operation buying, and
will soon ba doing all of their business
by that plan. Every man who feels
an iuterest in his chosen occupation
and in the welfare of himself and fam
ily should not hesitate any longer but
send in his application at once. Now
"s tho timo to . como in. Every other
profession has some kind of organiza
tion, and now is tho accepted time for
tho farmer to unite with this grandest
of organizations, for next year it may
bo too lute, and time once passed
never returns; the opportunity lost
now may be lost forever. Some may
argue that times are good enough now,
but they shonld remember that when
our sky eeems most settled and serene
in some unobserved corner gathers the
little black cloud in which the tempest
ferments and prepares to discharge
itself on oar heads. While bears and
speculators are forming plans to head
us off let'o make onr stronghold enre.
