IF the farmer persists in selling off his
crops, or anything that is made from his
crops as beef, pork, butter, cheese, the soil
must be constantly growing poorer in nor-

elements removed, for when we SILL any pro.

South CARoLINA's QUoTA OF ARMS FOR Forty
YEARS, FURNISHED TO THE Misunderstanding
ton, September 9.-Gevernor Hampton went
away from this city without being able to secure
any government arms for his State militia The
critics who cried out at Hampton's coming here
to secure arms for what they pleased to call the
White League, will have to change their tone.
When Hampton made application it was thought
that his State entitled to large num-
ber of arms. The militia companies in his
State are not able to arm themselves hence the
application. On examining at the War Depart
ment the astounding discovery was made that
South Carolina has already received an advance
Of oil arms to which it is entitled for forty years
to come. 1t was also discovered that this extra
ordinary issue of arms came through Don Cam
eron, who, at the instance of Honest John Pat
terson, ran this load Of arms into South Carolina
for the use OF the negroes only. This was done
last fall when the Camerons and Chan;llers were
crying out so loudly at the dangers arising from
the presence of the White Leagu0rs in South
Carolina. This when the negroes had twenty
stands Of arms to one of the whites. Besides
this great issue of arms, it will be remembered
that large body Of troops was ordered into
South Carolina. Everything was done that
could bo done here to preoipitate O color-line
fight, but the patience and GOODNESS Of Governor
Hampton and his people frustrated this we'll
laid plan. Governor Hampton goes back with
out any arms for his State, but he is satisfied
with the reason as it will help explain to the
public the extreme means adopted by the ad-
ministration people towarde the South.-Ne,o
York Sun.

CLovER.-No matter how mismanaged,
clover is benefit, and whatever else he
may do, the farmer who grows clover, is
making his farm better What, then, might
not the result be, if the same care were ta-
ken of tho clover field as of other crops ?
1t does not need cultivating; the long, deep
reaching roots mellow and pulverize the soil
as nothing else can. If the clover grows
thriftily, the top acts as mulch, seeding
the ground and keeping it moist. A crop
of two tons or more of clover, whether
ploughed under or cut for hay, can hardly
fail to leave tho soil better than it was be.
