[For (lie Ornngcburg Tniia J
Our Branchville Letter.
Mr. Bailor:
For this season of the year busi
ness is exceedingly dull, and sexcral
of our merchants are weaiing lung
faces. The prosperous and enter
| rising t among them, however, have
not. only enlarged their stocks I) it
I beau tilled and improved their place*.
Your former fell >w-eiti/.ou, Mr. \V.
C. Mitchell, has contributed largely
in this latter respect. His skill as i
painter has made many unsightly
objects beautiful. Mr. A. F. II.
Dul>_e&, the lead ins; men h int her",
employed him liest, and as he is not
only a good citizen but a popular
man, many of our residents followed
his example, much to tho benefit of
the town and community. Nothing
addsso much to the attractiveness of
; a place as fresh paint. Thore is but
I one store hore now dirty and black, ami
I I would advise its owner to put on a
little enterprise, throw otT his cornfield
notions, and brighten up uia exter
ior.
Mr. Edward Carroii, recently Ap
pointed J rial Justice, is giviug satis
faction. He is a man of considerable
intelligence, and withal, a gentlomin
of the oid schooi, which rua^os it safe
to say that bo will do nothing wrong
knowingly.
A number of deaths have occurred
here lately, owing, 1 suppose, to the
fact that the Council permits certain
of our citizens to make ?jpig ?ty| of
the place. There are more hogs
raised in the immediate town of
Branchville than in any other placj
in the State numbering live times its
iuhabitants. Aul for this wan ton
n/.c^>)' Iasa for swine, the place gives
up annually a number of precious
lives. For a little sausage and pud
ding some seem willing to jeopardize
the lives of their families ! A higher
civili/.ation, huw<jvor, wiil stop this.
I am satisfied if Dr. OIt's advice on
the hygiene of Branchville had been
taken by the Council we sh mid hava
had no sickness hero.
Our popular fe'Iow-citizcn, Mr A.
1.01 yea, I regret to say, speaks of
leaviig this place. His absence will
be a positive loss to Urachville, as his
go.lia'ity, together with the cjurtly
mano rs of his son, Mr. W. L. have
done much to add to the gr.1u.3S and
[i rngn s.s of the t?? tvn.
In the sign painting business we
have ii genius here. I aliu le to !>.?
Lewiis Berry. I recently saw s ,mo of
\\\< wirk which for artistic ? < ? m i >i
j cannot be surpassed. The Br. is one
of our progressive citizens, being not
i only a successful druggi.-t, but a
gentleman ui stieci 8sc4 *'a I round."
Bui 1 will stop for tins t into. 1
have complied with your positive rj
ipicst, to be laconic. Mr. E litor, do
j you think it right to want till tho
spacy yourself? J admit frankly that
youi leaders are excellent, and I am
free to confess that your advice if
takth will tie more for this County
than all the adMpttindunx co.ikors of
forty disappointed political aspirants,
still 1 think it fair to give a chance
to fit'I, free and intelligent discussion
of current subjects to whomsoever ad
resscs to your paper a comruuuication
j not interdicted by journalistic rules
from the public eye.

Kindness.
Kindness is as cheap as it is beauti
ful. It may be given in a word or a
look with' ut diminishing aught of
our wealth. With courtofies nlotn
we may illumine our pathway, aud
pluck down blessings which no gold
could purchase. To be brotherly, to
befriend, and cheer, and console as
far as in us lie. ihete are the crown
ing graces ol humanity?and all these
arc born oi kindness. It is anger,
breeding hate and contumely, that
has liilcil the earth with misery aud
ruin.
Anger between kindred and races,
before which all that is beautiful in
man vanishes, leaving only tho wild,
lieioeiiuimal of bis being. Families
divided, friends parted, communities
at h ud, and nation w.trriug against
nation?these ura the fruits ofutiger.
It has begotten the fullest uf crilUos.
But kiudness iu proportion as the>e
has been the ruling spirit among men .
peace and happiness folio we I. The
home hear h has been the centre of
paradise, and the community a fra
ternal elysium: Verily, "Better is a
dry crust and quietness therewith
khan a house full of sacrifice with
strife.'' Let m study and strive to
be kind, no matter how seemingly
trivial the occasion nor how small
the promised fruit. It, is the ouly
language of our nature that isuniver
sal and irresistable.

Office-Seekers.
There is nothing more demoraliz
ing to the country than tho vast hoard
of oflice seekers w hich like so many
parasites are preying upon tho poli
tical vitals of the country. Just at
this juncture in our political history
it really seems as if, since Radicalism
is in abeyacce, that it would be best
for all loyal citizens to solidly unite
in a campaign against any man who
desires to run for an office Lot
gentlemen thoroughly understand
that office is to seek a competent
official and not the official to seek the
oflice, ?Olarentlon /Vww.

C. P. Leslie Heard From.
The Sumtcr Watchman publishes
the following extract from a letter
received by a Republican iu that
town from a colored man named
Stuart, recently removed from the
plaee to Kansas : MC. P. Leslie Land
Cumin iesioher, aud sometime boss ot
Burnwell County, is here. He bus
been enjoying perfect obscurity till L
found him out He was very nervous
on the subject of being carried back
to South Carolina for? till I meution
ed to him the infamous compromise
that took place in Charleston in,
April. That intelligence threw him
into convulsions of joy. He says the
only thing he is sorry for is that he
did not steal the whole God damned
State of South Caroliua, and if ho
i had to do it again, he would try his
level best to steal it all; that none but
a lool would suppose a man was going
to risk his life in the South without
stealing whatever he could get hold
of. "Taint human nature," said tho
old veteran thief as he warmed up
with his theme. He has been here for
near two years." The people of Kan
sas had better keep their eyes ou tho
old scamp as he may take a notion to
steal chat State.
An Editor's Vacation.
About six weeks ago a parson
entered ourotficouud proposed tosell
us a new-fangled "fountain pan."
The rash youug mac at length men
tioned as u recommendation that the
pen held ink enough to last through
twenty-four hours' incessant writing,
and obviated the tedious necessity of
dipping in the ink-stand. Thereupon
we exclaimed : "Dear young iriend,
would you deprive us of our vaca
tion ?" "I don't understand," ho
replied. "Why," said we, "the only
vacation we get is while we are dtp
ping our pen in the inkstand, and no>
man .-hall deprive us of that. Please
go away with your vacation extingu
isher. He saw we wer? in earnest,
and he went, no* even daring to offsr
us one of his "fountains" as a'gift,
aud ae dipped our old-fashioned pen.
j in our muddy old ink-stand au i took
a rest.
Nothing is easier than to grow
rieti. It is only to trust nobody?-to
I. efrieud none?to get all you can and
.-ave all you get?to stint yourself
and everybody belonging to you?to
be the friend of no man aud have no
man for your friend?to heap inter
est, cent upon cent?!o be mean,
miserable and despised for some
twenty or thirty years?and richea
will come as sure as disease aud dis
appointment. And when pretty
nearly enough wealth is collected by
a disregard of all charities of tho hu -
man heart, aud at the expeuse of
every enjoyment, death comes to fin
ish the work, tho body is buried in a
hole, and the heirs dance over it, and
the spirit goes? Where*
Some of our exchanges, says tho
Georgetown "Timos,'' are afraid to
< omni it themselves. They want to
hear what the conventiou has to say
fust, und then they promise to give a
big hurrah for the man who is nomi
nated fbi Governor* Every honest
and thinking rann must have an opin
ion for his own, and if he has cm let
him speak it out and not wait to see
if he is on the "popular" side beforo
he lots us know where he is. This is a
free country, brethren of the press,
and let us net like freemen and not
like dumb driven cattle.
The Democrats will havo from two
to three majority in tho Senate in
spite of everything the Republicans
can do, until 1883. After that there
may be a deluge. Some people think
the day of judgment will then have
been ono ycai old. So, lot as pro
servo our tempers for a few years yet.
Beware of little thiugs! A coat
collar with one single hair ou the
surface will cause more trouble than
a 810 switch anywhere else.
