THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE

.,... DOCUMENT.

Gentlemen of the Senate and House Of
Representatives:
1t is proper that should, before
entering into discussion of the grave
questions which will come bet ore you,
give the reasons that impelled me to
call the General Assembly together
at q time so unusual and incOnveni-
ent to it's members. recognize and
appreciate fully the great personal
sacrifice demanded of the call which
brings them here; but the critical
condition of public affairs and the
welfare of the State made it impera-
tive that | should invoke the aid OF
the legislative branch Of the govern
cut 10 assist in the great work of
reform before us, and | felt confident
that the patriotism of those compri-
sing this branch Of the State gov
ernment would inspire them to meet
cheertully all sacrifices required for
the interests Of tie State. Your
presence proves that have not been
disappointed in this hope; and I cher
ish the additional hope that you will
forget the animosities engcndered by
political strife, rise superior to the
petty consideration of partisanship,
and devoting yourselves with patri,
otic z:al to the service of your State,
and that you will strive earnestly to
restore it's lost prosperity, to revive
itS wasted industries, to reform all
abuses in it's government, and to pro
mote peace, harmony, good will and
justice among all classes and parties.
To the accomplishment of these noble
aimsI pledge my constant, unwearied
and earnest efforts; and in this pa
triotic work I invoke your aid, gen
tlemen of the Senate and House of
Representatives, not alone as mem
bers OF the Legislature, but as patriots
and Carolinians.
The anomalous condition of affairs
during the past few months, while
it has entailed the necessity of con-
vening the General Assembly has
precluded me from laying before this
body such full and accurate intorma.

One hundred and fifty bushels OF
gTasshopers, is the lowest estimate we
heard reliable men, who were there,
place upon the amount destroyed last
week in the southwest portion of Ne
mRha precinct by one set of laborers.
This immense number or quantity OF
hoppers was killed on ground where
cattle had been herded last summer
and fall-on the rolling prairie
the grass being eaten off close
and the ground pretty well
tramped, the area of the herding
ground, about 600 acres, was just the
genial spot for the hoppers to resort TO
to deposit their eggs. There were
engaged in this terrible slaughter of
the miserable pest from twenty to
thirty men who used the common
coal oil and coal tar drag pans. They
had two pans, one sixteen and the
other eighteen feet long, dragged by
horses; and eight or ten six foot pans
dragged by the men. The "medi-
cine" used was coal tar and coal oil
and after working awhile they dis
covered that a mixture of the two sub
stances was just the thiug-was eff
fectual and cheaper than when used
separate. The coal oil served to cut
and thin the coal tar 10 Il better consis-
tency, and made it more surely a
deadly "dope'-as the boys called 1t.
This is quite a grasshopper story-one
We would doubt did it not come from
parties of veracity and good judg-
ment. We have no doubt of It's
truth.
We will add In this connection, In
order that true impression may be
made regarding the precinct and lc-
cality, that about all the hoppers OF
any consequence in that precinct was
upon this herdlng ground. They, OF
course were upon some fields of wheat
contiguous thereto, but the farmers
were confident IN their ability TO de-
stroy the hoppers and save their crops
AS yet no damage had been done. II
is gratifying that The people have fl.
nally become masters Of even the grass
| hopper situation.

VIM. TIdrOw, of Aspinwall, gave
us a friendly call and chat on Mon
day, circus day. He looked SO pleas
ant and cheerful that we gladly well
coined him, wondering all the time
what was the cause of his eXuberant
manner; whether 1t could be possible
that one usually so staid and undem-
onstrative as Mr.. Tidrow, could be
thrown into such ecstacy of delight
at the prospect of a very warm day in
which to behold the wonders Of the
European circus, and to hear the stale
Jokes of a clown. However, we were
not to remain in ignorance long, as
the high spirits of our visitor would
not permit him to remain long silent.
After clearing his throat that he
might articulate plainly, he In
formed US that it's girl at his house,
that wife and child are doing well,
and that he was, at that very moment,
undoubtedly the happiest man in his
ASlSD OOIuOONy Oi pei uo Pc III -NSihaiAo
county. After listening to much of
this kind of talk, we finally succeeded
in somewhat calming the happy faith
er's ardor by asking him of the crop
prospect, and to what extent the hop
pers had damaged him or his neigh
bors. At the mention of that name
'hoppers, his countenance changed
but slightly, and it was plain to be
seen that he was full of hope for the
future. He said there was but two
places in his neigh hborhood where
they were at all thick on the farms
of Lewis Fisher1nd Daniel d. Davis.
On Mr.. Fishers premises they have
been so thinned out, by means of pans,
bitches, &C., that but very little if any
damage is apprehended; while on
that of Mr.. Davis the task Is almost
hopeless. Corn fs a good stand and
looks well, and the farmers generally
in his neighborhood are hopeful and
expecting good crops.

Nature,s Remedial Agents.

II is said that for every disease that effects
suffering humanity. nature has provided a
remedy, and that all man has to do is TO dis
cover these remedial agents ard apply them
10 their approximate ailments. These are
mostly found IN the vegetable kingdom, and
roots, barks, herbs. grains, and other simple
and harmless ingredients are more effective
than any Of the mineral pOisons used so
freely by many physicians. The celebrated
DR.. RadclIH, in the Seven Seals or Golden
Wonder has compounded a vegetable reme-
dy peculiarly adapted for wide range Of
diseases, combining as &c does Che curative
properties of a great number Of the most eff
fective roots, herbs and banks. For pains
