WHEAT CRoP.-Wc learn that from pre-
sent appearances the yield OF wheat IN our

per.
Notwithstanding the late seasons, so al
verse to cotton planting, the young plant
comes up with boldneSS and s;outnesS ,hat
il somewhat unusual, and there are some
very fine stands. Barring the iljnry that
the dryncss does to gardrns, and the back
set to cotton planting, no harm is apprchend-
cd for field crops. Wheat harvesting it is
hoped will 60 braTey on, and with rains c
little later, cotton and corn must push
forward luXuriantly.

Trial Justice, Long, who has been but slolt
tine among the Scylla and Charibdis OF
Blackstone, undertook to perform the ar
duous duties imposed upon him by the new
code in case, and either from ineXperiencc
or wilrul ignorance bluGdered into those dl-
lcmmas which culminate in positive wrong

talented Young townSman, Mr.. J.F. J. Cald-

as to make the sweetness, Long, be drawn

President Bush Of III: G & C. r H., made
Il short speech at Grcenville Court House
last week, and said among other things that
tue road would be thoroughly oTcrhaulcd
and rendered first class; and that the run
from Greenville to Columbia shall be ma';e
in six hours. To illustrate: 4 Grccnriic
merchant having business in Columbia, Will DC
enabled tc leave home at five in the 4ftcrnoon
and reach Columbia al II P. m. So that the
round trip including time for sleep and for
the transaction of business is made in little
more than q hours, With The reduction Of
freight and passage rates and a safe and
quick transit there is no doubt that the Du>l-
ness OF the road will materially increase.
