Since my last communication, business has
called me 10 many parts of our county, and
the result of many pleasant cEit-chat with
our farmers and planters, has caused this
second communication from your occasional
correspondent, as learned from them some
thing In regard to the present growing crop
This. together with what have seen of the

Thus lar no candidate Tor any office, either
State or county, have announced themselves,
and hope they have wisely thought TO await
the finishing up of the cultivation OF the crop
ere they would do so. As regards the potl-
cal condilion of our county, our people gene
raIlyi are lukewarm. Our county Will be
ranked In the present convention In Coum-
bia as one of the do.nothlngs, as she will not
be represented by any regular appolntees. But
