The Country’* Predicament.
The subject of farming has be
come quite u topic ^nong thefai-
mei s ot this county, and-we have
been an enthusiastic listener to ev
ery conversation that we have had
the opportunity of hearing; and to
say that we are glad to find all ihat
we hear express themselves, have
decided to begin economy and to
live at home; would not express
our feeling for the inexpressuble
burden the farmer ImB had to eu
dure, we know something about.
Now we do not only Bay that we
wish the farmers of this country
would stick to what they sny, but
were it possible, we would Btay
their minds, and draw the pioture
of the future before their eyes as
we think we see it, and would cause
them to turn from the way in which
they have persisted in the post If
the farmer does not turn from hiB
present course and relinquish the
id^of gitting rich by. raising cot
ton, the speculators will soon have
him in snch pressed circumstance
that he will have to quit trying to
furm. We do not disapprove of
raisiug cotton, if they would raise
corn enough first, but this is the
trouble; they plant two-thirds ol
their crop in cotton and some plant
all cotton. Now let ns just revers
the tiling and plant t\vo-thirds in
com; if we wi 1 ! do this and only
put
all the fertilizers on this third
that we put on the two-thirds anil
count, out the expense of work,
there will be a greater net realized
than from the two-tliirds. There
iR no use for hr to say if they will
quit trying to raise ro much cotton
times will he better; they will have
to quit it or there will be famine in
this country; for it Rooms that the
whole world is against the farmer,
when if they would look at it in
the right light, they are depend
ent upon them, or would he if the
farmer would do his duty at home;
but as it is,the fanner is dependent
upon them, and this dependence
renders us slaves to them Now
farmer let us awake from our sleep
and throw from our eves the vale
of darkness; and let the co-opera
tion exist among us as does among
other classes; and to think of the
many thousand pounds of meat,
and the many thousand bushels of
corn that has been hauled even from
Butler this year, is enough
awaken farmers to their duty and
even shake the nerves of any con
siderate one.
As we have spoken in the above
lines in regard to all who are try
ing to live by farming, we will now
speak a few words in u way of ad
monition to the young men of the
country ns we are classed among
them. Young men let us not
lie
afraid of the plow-handles,for ther
is the source from which every lux
ury that we enjoy springs. Let us
not feel like it is a disgrace to work
for it is far mote honorable ilnn
strolling about over the country
an«l in towns seeking easy employ
ment, and if we do indulge these
habits in our youth we will become
absorbed in vacillation and when
our heads are hoary we will still
be without stability.

Severely Chastised.
One of the severest crimes and
most uncalled-for acts of chastise
ment occurred about three miles
from Howard on Saturday morning
last that we have ever known. Mack
Smith, an inoffensive colored boy,
about 17 years of age, who had
been accused by Kandall Hays, a
negro man who bears not the best
of character, of having stolen from
his cabin a suit of clothing. About
seven o’clock on Saturday morning
Mack, who had gone in the dilec
tion of Howard, was pursued by
Kandall, and overtaken some eight
miles up the railroad beyond But
ler. Overtaking the accused, the
clothing was at once demanded,hut
there was only found in hiB posses
sion, one pair of old panrs, which
Mack claims to have been given him
by Kandall in part payment tor
his work, which statement we do
not doubt to be true, but the infu
riated negro without hesitation drew
his kuft’e. and alter threading the
life of h s victim, strippedmim, tied
his hands behind him, and with a
stick Mack was most unmercifully
heated, and left in the woods. Late
in the afternoon he made h s ap
pearance in town, having provided
with clothing, and stated the facts
of his case. A warrant was issued
tor the arrest of Randall, but he
had left for parts unknown. Noth
ing but the severest punishment of
the law should he Receive.
A Letter from Air. Seott.
Messrs. Editors :—I reluctantly
ask for the second und last time a
little space in the columns of the
Herald to correct any misappre
hension into which an unsuspect
ing public may have been lead by
the letter of Mr. Freeman Mathews,
published in your issue of the 14th
of June last. In the beginning,
permit me to state, that 1 have no
inclination to indulge in bilings-
gate; but if I had, 1 must confess
that Mr. Mathews iB so easily my
superior in that line, that I would
not for a moment dare to attempt
it. 1 submit to every candid read
er of the Herald, that although
I was bitterly assailed for vfliat 1
conceived to be my sworn duty, I
have made no “base misrepresenta
tion'* against Mr. Mathews or any
body else. Take my communica
tion in reply to my assilants and
read it, and I think you will agree
with me in saying, that Mr. Math
ews has utterly failed to sh"W that
any statement of fact it contains,
m. de as of my own knowledge, is
not substantially true. I am per
fectly willing to take the responsi
bility of my acts, in this, as in sll
ma’ters of my lit’*; a brief state
ment will show my position as to
this bridge business. When the
present board came into office, I
found that the old hoard had abol
ished Huff s bridge, so far as this
lounty was concern d. At the
meeting before last there was a ver
bal pet i i ion from two or three cit
izens, to the board, to re-establish
said bridge. Now it mattered not,
what I thought about the matter,
the board could not afford to set
the precedent of building a bridge,
and reversing the previous action of
the board, upon the verbal petition
of two or three men. In order
therefoie to ascertain the wishes ot
the public, and the necessity of
this bridge, I moved that the mat
ter be continued to the next regu
lar meeting. Thus time was given
the friends of the bridge to get up
a written petition showing what
was need* d and what the people
wanted. At the la*t meeting of
the boaid, the time to which the
matter lmd been continued, there
was before the board a written pe
tition signed by more than one
hundred and fifty citizens, asking
that the bridge be re-built, and 1
cheerfully voted for it, because the
board was furnished with sufficient
evidence to show, that the bridge
was a public necessity, (and not to
please or gratify Mr. Mathews or a
member of the board as ignorant of
the law as Mr. Mathews himself )
All that the board or myself ever
demanded was this written petition.
It has been intimated that I was
recreant to the interest of Howard
district. My view of the matter
is, that it is my duty to furnish
the board with all the information
I may possess as to the necessity
of that district; and here my
special obligation to Howard ends.
When I have done this, it is my
duty to look after the welfare, not
only of Howard district, but of
the whale county. The statement
I made as to Mr. Mathews owning
the whole of Howard, the amount
of his tax, etc., are of minor im
portance; bit 1 am still inclined
to believe, that if he does not own
the whole of the place, he never
theless owns enough of it to exert
over it a coutroiing influence, and
that was the idea I wished to con
vey. The reas n that Mr. Math
ews gives for not hhving u wriiteu
petition for the rebuilding of the
bridge at the binning is, somewhat
of the weakest He seems to think
that unless the member of the board
who turnSshes him information is
present at its meetings, no bridge
can be abolished Now I had a
higher opinion of the capacity of
Mr Mathews than to think he was
better informed, but if I have been
mistaken in th s respect, I b«g hi:
