Another Partizan Veto.

The announcement that President Hayes had
vetoed the "Act to prohibit military interference
at elections" did not astonsh us in the least.
His first veto showed too plainly that he was
under the party lash and dare not sign any bill
that would deprive the corrupt Radical leaders
of the power to overawe the weak and illierate
voters Of the country into servile submission to
their edicts. 1t was not, as be sophisticaily
calls it the dangerous violation ofthc spirit and
meaning of the constitution in the first bill
which induced him to veto it, but because the
clauses prohibiting the use of the military at
elections were contrary to the "spirit' and ne
cessiiies of the Radical party. And we were
satisfied from the first that he would not sign
any such Wholesome and just measure, however
and whenever presented to him. Hayes is the
plant President of the party that foistcl him
upon the people at large, and the very existence
of that party now mainly depends upon his us
ing the power and influence of his high position
| solely for its benefit. The democratic party may
safely 50 before the people of the whole country
upon the issue fairly and dspass ionatcly made
by their Representatives in Congress on Militia.

The Crops.


Upon inquiries made of gentlemen from al
most every part Of the County we learn that
the wheat crop looks well. 1t is somewhat
''thin on the ground and the heads arc not
large, but it looks healthy and remarkably for
ward. We have not heard of any rust anywhere
in the County. A slight rain, it is supposed
would help it.
Oats do not look SO promising. They are
badly in want of rain In some places the crop
will not be worth harvesting if rain does not
come soon.
We hear great complaints of "bad stands of
cotton The ground is so dry that the seed can
not sprout. What is up is not growing. The
dry Geld weather is greatly against this crop.
Corn is at n stand-stil. 1t has stopped grow
ing, and wants rain badly.

Memorial Day.

We waited until the last hour for friend to
give us some notes upon the memorial exercises
at this place last Saturday, but were dsappon-
ted. Being unable to walk to the graveyard we
did not attend the exercises and now at this
late hour can only gather up few fragments Of
the days dongs" and present them.
We regret to state that the attendance was not
as general as it should have bcco, or AS we had
| reason to expect The work was left almost en-
tircly for few true hearted patriotic women to
perform, but they performed that duty faithful
ly, solcmnly, and without ostcntation. Each
grave of a Confederate Soldier buried in this
town, which had been previously cleaned oir, was
profusely decorated with the choicest flowers
and evcrgrcens. Nor did these 'loyal' South.

Guilty or Not Guilty.

Touch'ny Address Of Poinderter ,chcn Called In
for Sentence.
1t was an hour more after the court wos
called TO order before Poindexter was required
to stand up to be sentenced. In the meantime
he was engaged in reading over and altering q
paper in pencil. The clerk having told him to
stand up, and he having arisen, in answer to
the question if he had anything to say why
sentence should not be pronounced, Poindexter
read the following:

What is Done on Pea Ridge Land.

|
1t has been supposed by those who know
nothing about that beautiful part of our County
that the lands On Pea Ridge are 50 poor that they
will not pay for cultivation. In fact, it was
once said by person travelling through them
that they "could not sprout cow peas" and from
| that remark the section received its name
Time and intelligent culture have changed all
that, and Pea Ridge is fast becoming the gar,
den spot of Union County.
a few days ago our esteemed friend, Mr.. Jo-
oiaii Poster, naic, ncarty gcuuvm"u ,v.s,"s
on to fourscore years, living near Skull Shoals,
called on us and posted us upon q specimen
crop made last year by Mr. John Sprouse, on
Pea Ridge land that sixty years ago would
hardly sprout COW peas Upon 20 acres of this
land, with one ton of Fertilizers, Mr. Sprouse
made twcnty.onc bales of cotton, averaging
5OOlbs to the bale. Ten acres averaged ,SOOlbs
seed cotton to the acre. We doubt much if any
section can make n better showing.
But its agricultural productions arc not the
only recommendations of Pea Ridge. 1t sent as
many true and brave men into the Confederate
army as any section Of the South with the same
number Of Inhabitants while its healthy atmos-
phcrc is remarkable and it can show the larg-
est number of healthy ana heavy men and wo-
men, over GO years of age, of any section Of our
country. Pea Rilge is great place.

tues-chariy-in their behalf A collection
was taken up, amounting to SG7.45, which was
placed in the hands of Mr.. Sm' rt to be for
warded to Walterboro.
The congregation was dismissed with prayer

In addition to this. the congregation of the

stroyed.

All things considered. we think Union has
done well for her destitute fellow citizens. We,
however, feel it our duty to say that much des-
titution still exists at Walterboro and any one
wishing to contribute to the relief can do so

to receive and forward it,
