Another Partisan Veto.

The announcement that President Hayes had
vetoed tho "Act to prohibit military interference
at elections" did not astonish 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 illiterate
voters Of the country into servile submission to
their edfcts. 1t was not, ns be sophistically
calls it the dangerous violation of the spirit and
meaning of the constitution" in the first bill
which induced him to veto IL, but because the
clauses prohibiting the use of the military at
elections were contrary to the "spirit' and ne.
cessities of the Radical party. And we were
satisfied from the first that he would not sign
any such wholesome md just measure, however
and whenever presented to him. Hayes is the
plant President of the party that foisted 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 60 before the people of the whole country
upon the issue fairly and dispassionate made
oy their Representatives in Congress on Militia
ry interference ut elections.

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 disappoin-
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 "day's doings' and present them.
We regret to state that the attendance was not
rs general as it should have been, or as we had
reason to expect. Tho work was left almost en- :
tirely for few true hearted patriotic women to
perform, but they performed that duty faithful
ly, solemnly, and without ostcntation. Each
gIave of Confederate Soldier buried in this
town, which had been previously cleaned of. was
profusely decorated with the choicest flowers
and evergreens. Nor did these "loyal' South.
ern women eonine their attentishs and respect
TO the graves Of the brave soldiers of the "lost
ccase, but recognizing the truth that tho war is
ended and desirous Of Offering fit tribute to
the peace that should prevail between the two
sections Of our common country, their pure
hands streweu the graves or Federal Soldiers
buried here with sweet Southern flowers md
placed wreaths of evergreens upon them also.
No speech, no show, was made, but silently, SOL
emnly anl rcverentialy those noble. wome en- paid
their annual tribute Of affection to the fallen
braves, only conscious that God and their own
hearts approved the act.

The Crops.

The Crops.
Upon inquiries made Of gentlemen from al-
most every part Of the County, we learn that
the wheat crop looks we'll. 1t is somewhat
'thin on the ground" and the heads are not
large, but il 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 1t.
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
Gotten. 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 q stand-still. 1t has stopped grow
ing, and wants rain badly.
Gardens are doing nothing. Vegetables do
not grow for want of rain. We have not seen
the least improvement in the growing vegeta-
bles for over week, and housekeepers complain
that IL is hard TO makeu respectable dinner.

Unions Be- tass to WATERFORD.

Unions Red <ISass to waltsrboro.
AS was nnnuunccd, the citizens of this town
assembled 4 the Methodist church on Sunday
night, the 4h inst, to contribute to the reliet
Of the sufShg people of walterboro. Rev.
y. L. Scaifeiopened the meeting in . fervent
prayer. Rev, r. d. Smart, in short but ap.
propriate address, stated the object of tho meet,
ing. 2sE s1 ''@
Rev. G. 4 Nife Il W. shand, ESQ.,, Rev. B.
g. Clifford and Col. I. G. McKissick, upon being
requested, eloquently pictured the destitute
condition Of the people Of walterboro, caused by
the terrible tornado th4 had swept over that
town. and forciby appekled to the congregation
for liberal exercise of that greatest of all vir
tues-charity-in their behalf A collection
was taken up, amounting to S67.45, which was
placed in the hands of Mr.. SIN, TT to be for
wnrded to walterboro.
The congregation wa, dismissed with prayer
and singing the doxoldgy.
On the following day the town Council sup
plemented the above amount by q subscription
sufficient to increase ii 10 $lOO 90.
In addition to this. the congregation of the
Presbyterian church have sent $40 to Rev.
Dinwiddy, Pastor of the Presbyterian church at
Walterboro, whose house and contents were de-
stroyed.
We also learn that subscription from the
Masonic Lodge was sent to aid the suffering
brothers Of tke stf{eKen town.
All things considered. we think Union has
done well for her destitute fellow citizens. We,
however, feel it our duty to soy that much des-
titution still exists at Walterboro and any one
wishing to contribute to the relief can do so
through Rev. r. d. Smart, who will be pleased
to receive and forward it.

you will see perfect likeness Of the most no

ton Il is so natural that we have to speak to
it every time we look at it. 1t has got the very
twinkle of his eye and the jolly smile that al
ways marks the Judges countenance, when he's

takes them in excellent style. We should like

hour, fortunately doing no damage except 10
crops. In some places is has destroyed the

there has been more sold this year than last,

What is Done on Pea Ridge Land.

"nat IL Uone on fea 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 so 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. MIR. Jo.
'i"'r Pvorcr, n naic, nrurry grutlv,n~n ,S.s,u.
on to fourscore years, living near Skull Shoals,
called On us and posted us upon O 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 twentyone bales of cotton, averaging
6OOlbs to the bale. Ten acres averaged ], ,8OOibs.
seed cotton to the acre. We doubt much if any
section can make better showing.
But its agricultural productions are not the
only recommendations of Pea Ridge. 1t sent MS
many true and brave men into the Confederate
army as any section of the South with the same
number Of inhabitants, while it's healthy atmos-
phere is remarkable and it can show the larg-
est number Of healthy and heavy men and wo-
mon, over 60 years. Of age Of any section Of our
country. Pea Ridge is great place.

ALsToN's MURDERER Observation-Disclosures,
May THE jury in the Cox case were out ali
night, and came in at noon to day to be re-
charged In full. At o quarter to 4 o'clock this
afternoon they came in and announced that they
had agreed upon verdict. It was detained to
correct an informality, and was then read as
follows:
recommend that he be punished by imprison-
ment for life"
Cox received the verdict with calmness and
stoicism, having evidently nerved himself for
the worst. His wife, on hearing words so fatal
to her hopes, sat for moment trembling, and
then rushed for the orcn window near by for
the purpose of throwing herself to the ground
below. She was Wild with grief, but ns she
reached the window she was caught by Cox,
who held her fast She threw her arms around
his neck aud clung to him wildly, cxclaiming !:
"Oh, my God Oh, my poor darling" Her
shrieks were heart-rending, and the occupants
of the crowded room could not restrain their
tears Of PITY. Cox used all his power to calm
her, and finally soothed her grief, until only
her deep means broke upon the solemn stiffness.
Judge Hillyer sentenced Cox to be confined
in the Penitentiary, or such other place rs the
| Governor may direct, at hard labor for and dur
| ing his natural life.
| Gen. Gartrell gave notice that the defense
would make motion for new trial. and pray
| ing a writ of supersedeas Execution of sentence
was thereupon stayed twenty days. The pen
atty inflicted is virtually the extreme of the law
| in this State ms a law passed with Alstons aid
OF the last session of the Legislature giving ju-
| ries the right to recommend the life imprison
ment in all cases of murder as they see ft, in
effect abolishes the death penalty. Cox is the
/ first man convicted Of murder who receives the
benefit Of that law. The verdict is received
with general approval
