Messrs. S. G. Worth md Geo. b.
, Boyd, members of the United States
Fish Commission, recently stocked the
Pee Dee River, in-the lower part Of this
State, with fifty: thousand young shad,
and last week returned from Havre de
Grace, Nd, with fifty thousand more,
which they placed in the Congaree River
near Columbia. These young shad were
brought on in tin cans, and will require
three years in which to grow large
enough to propagate. The savannah
River has already been stocked, and it is
hoped other rivers in our State will be
stocked soon. The Broad River has
been stocked in North Carolina, and Of
course we will get the benefit Of it. The
thing which now remains to be done is
to require by Law that all dams on our
large streams shall have fish sluces kept
continually open, and by giving the at
tention necessary to so important sub.
iect, we can soon have an abundance OF
the finest varieties of fish in all the
streams of our State, which would be an
inestimable blessing.

In the letter replying to the letter of
Mr.. Potter, both of which appear in an
other portion of this paper, Hon. Alex
ander H. Stephens pursues very unfair
course towards Mr. Potter and all of the
other Democratic Representatives in
Congress. His predictions about trouble
and revolution have been so completely
dispelled by the course of the Democratic
party, that it is not necessary to notice
his groundless croakings upon this SUBJ
ject, and the remainder of the document
is equally as mythical when it is fully
analyzed. He processes to object to the
investigation because It was ordered
without allowing amendments, and
thereby confined the investigation to
Louisiana and Florida, but, in fact, the
Committee hss now the fullest authority
to investigate, OF as Mr. Stephens would
call 1t, "Me1icanize," the electoral vote
of any State in the Union. 1t is true the
Democrats refused to allow the Repub-
licans to amend their resolution to in
vestigate, but, as soon as it was passed,
they extended the Jurisdiction Of their
Committee to every State in the Union
where charges of fraud and corruption
are made against the last electoral vote.
The whole of Mr.. Stephens walls have
gone forth to the country not because
the frauds could not be fully investi-
gated, as he claims, but simply because
the Democrats preferred doing thing
themselves to allowing the Republicans
to do it for the purpose of making capi'
tai for their party.

The Augusta Chronicle & Constitution
akst thinks the danger of numerous in
dependent candidates for Congress in
Georgia is very general, extending, prob
ably, into every district. The most i'm
portant Congressional elections occur in
the Seventh and Eighth Districts, repre-
sented respectively by Messrs. FELTON,
and Stephens. DR.. FELTON, has been
twice elected as an independent, and will
go directly before the people without
asking, any fsvors of nominating con-
yentions in this canvass, and, if elected,
will, it is thought become an indepen-
dent candidate for Governor of Georgia
two years hence. The Democrats are
thoroughly organized to defeat him, and
will pretty certainly nominate Col. Jas.
R. Brown, q brother of ex-Gov. Brown,
of Georgia, and of DR.. W. g. Brown, of
this County. Col. Brown is an able and
influential man, who, it is thought, will
compel DR.. FELTON, to retire from public
life for his country's good. In the Eighth
District it is thought Mr.. Stephens will
run as an Independent, and il so, the
race will be an intensely exciting and
important one. Judge VIM. Gibson, of
the Augusta Circuit, is the most promi-
nent candidate for the nomination, and
we hope he or some good man who can
beat Mr.. Stephens will be nominated.
The day for sending chronic grumblers
to Congress has past, we hope. Mr..
Stephens health has been bad, and has
Of itself afforded a sufficient reason for
his retirement, but when he attempts to
destroy the Democratic party by his self
ish egotism, there is not only reason for
his retirement, but it is the duty of all
true Democrats to unite in the effort to
defeat his schemes.

ALAF1A, FLA, May lS, 1910.
Mr.. EDITOR: There were good many
in Anderson when 1 left who manifested
kindly interest in asking to hear from
me when reached Florida, and as they
are all readers of your valuable paper,
and / desire to show my appreciation of
what 1 regard as an interest in me and
mine, and not as an idle word spoken at
g farewell for the want of something bet
ter, I have concluded to make it a medi-
um through which to respond, asking
your indulgence meanwhile, and promis-
ing to be brief SO as not to occupy too
much of your valuable time and space.
1t would be scarcely fair for me to at
tempt an opinion of this section of the
State in the period of time that have
been here, the unusual seasons producing
disadvantages which will not furnish a
fair precedent to judge from; hence, 1
have decided to con6ne myself to our
trip through the country, hoping it will
afford some points of interest, and at
another time, if your patience is not too
sorely taxed with this, I will try, when I
am better able to judge, to give those Of
your. readers who wished to hear from
me, through desire to know something
of Florida and its resources, IS fair an
account as am able.
We left Anderson Oh the 18th of Feb
ruary, little after noon. The weather,
it will be remembered, from about
Christmas up to that time had been very
unsettled, and the roads in a dreadful
condition. This was very discouraging
to me, particularly when I remembered
the good wife's holy horror of horses,
and that my team was measurably un-
tried, having but recently purchased
them. We got along the first day toler-
ably we'll, encountering one very severe
hill near Mr.. Moses Deans, and stopped
to camp the first night at Mr.. Newton
Burriss', about IL miles from Anderson.

WILLIAMSON
FEMALE COLLEGE,
WILLIAMSON, S. c.,

Is approaching the close of most pleas
ant and prosperous session. The One
Study Plan, which is one of It's principal
peculiarities, gives constantly increasing
satisfaction. Each pupil, having only one
leading study at time, can give this study
such attention as to ensure much better
success than is possible when the mind is
occupied by several subjects at once.
Williamson is well-known summer
resort for invalids in search of health. The
Chalybeate Spring, a very short distance
from the College, has greatly benefited
many of our pupils, who, coming to us
in delicate health, have returned home
strengthened in body and mind.
Unusual attention is given to physical
exercise. By the habitual practice of light
calisthenic movements and the careful use
of the Health-Lift every day, the evils of
sedentary life are greatly mitigated, if not
entirely overcome.

The election in Oregon week before
last vas very important one, and the
reports from it have been slow about
coming in, with some conflict in their
statements. The latest and most reliable
news, however, is that the Republican
State ticket has been elected, but that
the Democrats have certainly elected
their Congressman and a majority of the
Legislature. This gives US q Democratic
Senator to succeed Mitchell after the
fourth Of next March. We are willing
for Oregon to have Republican State
governmentas long as she gives US DEM
ocrats in the Senate and House of Con-
press.

opposition to any attack on Mr.. Hayes
title to the Presidency, and declined in

aatter myself that any address from my
self could exert there such an influence
as you imagine, I should most cheerfully
respond in person to your invitation,
with the hope of aiding to preserve the
tranquility of the country, if my duties
would allow me to do so. But I shall
have to be absent from the State just
now for week or ten days, and this will
prevent my visiting your city st the time
indicated. Joining you in the hope that
the peace of the country may be pre-
served, and that all its constitutional in
stitutions may be maintained in their in
tegrity, I am" &c. We are glad that
the Governors duties here prevented his
acceptance of the invitation, for the
meeting is engineered by the Republi-
cans, and is intended to benefit their
party politically. The Governors re-
marks about assisting in preserving the
tranquility of the country were surely
satire upon the crowd who are yelling
"Mexicanization," because the Presiden-
tial fraud is being investigated. The
tranquility of the country is not in dan
ger, and hence Governor Hampton very
properly preferred staying at home to
going to Ohio to address Radical mob.
