The news and herald. (Winnsboro, S.C.) 1877-1900, 1879-01-21

GOVERNOR HAMPTON has been inter-
viewed by the Register reporter. Flo
stands by resumption and hard
money, thinks frauds in election
should be punished, denies that tho
Radicals were intimidatcd, and hopes
that tho Teller committee will tell the
truth, and not make partisan and
garblcd report. Hc thinks sofvisiting
Florida for few weeks, and will
resume his Office for q few days to
perform some unfinished duties before
finally turning the executive Office
ovor to Governor Simpson.
THE REASON THAT Charlos Nord-
hofr's Washington specials to the New
York Herald arc 50 generally report
cd arises from two Causes: first, that
the Herald is about the only leading
paper that cndcavors to get the truth
free from partisan bias; and secondly,
that it values Mr.. Nordhoff's services
in discovering tho truth at tho sum of
ten thousand dollars year. Any
body who Is paid ten thousand year
by the Herald is worth quoting. The
independence and iInpartiality Of the
Herald wcro never more splcndidly
manifested, nor more literally rc-
wardcd than in the days Of 1876, and
since then its reports have always
received great attention.

A CORRESPONDENT says that Cover
nor Hendricks is in Washington for
the purpose ofcffecting IL reconcilia-
ton between the Eastern and Western
wings Of the Democracy OH the money
question. 1t is intimatcd that as the
East refuses to 90 to Indiana, Indiana
will be willing to accept resumption
on condition that grocnbacks shall not
continue to be loyal tenders. The
Democrats always opposed the legal
tender aot, and its constitutionality
was only confirmed by tho Supreme
Court OIL the ground that it was n
military necessity. Unity in the
Democratic ranks is Of the greatest
Importance, and under present lights
it is better for all clements to combine
on hard money. Let the Western
Mahomet oome to tho mountain.
TIE Register Of Saturday desires
to have oh end put to the squabbles of
Hayes and Conkling over the New
York appointments, viewing it rs
merely personal issue that threatens
to consume the time of the Senate.
We differ with our contemporary
This contest embroils the whole Re-
publican party, and particularly tho
Republicans Of New York, and the
longer it goes on the better for the
Democrats. Indeed, in view Of the
disgraccful Kilkenny cat fight between
Tammany and Tildcn, Republican
discomfort in New York is badly
needed to save that State to us in
1880. The Democratic Senators
should support the appointments, not
that they love Hayes more, but
Conkling less. 1t is the policy al
ways to help the weaker faction Of the
common enemy.

THE PEAR ,
II. Culture /. Western re.n-
ny g. ONDERDONK, OF THE MIssIt
- VALLEY NURSERIES. t1i'

The many letters ofinquiry upon the
subject Of pear culture in Western
Texas have led me to communicate
through your paper. .3...
Many speak as if the terms dwarf
and standard" indicates the class or
variety Of the fruit. We make our
dwarf pear by grating the pear wood
upon the ounce stock. Our standard
pear trees are made by grating the
pear wood on Seeding pear stocks. SO
that any, variety may be produced eith'
er as dwarf or standard at pleasure.
according to the roots used as stocks.
The character aud quality Of the fruit
Of most varieties is unaffected by the
circumstance OF its having been grown
upon either dwarf or standard trees.
The advantage of dwarfiug is that
many varieties will bear as dwarfs at
from three to eight years of age, while,
as standards, the same varieties would
not become proitably productive until
twelve or fifteen years of age There
are, however. varieties which do not
become early bearers by dwarfing, and
there are varieties which will even
bear earlier US standards and should,
therefore, never be dwarfed, and we
have one variety, the Duchess de
Augouleme, which not only bears
younger, but makes ffner fruit as
dwarf, and should never be cultivate !
as a standard. On the other hand
the dwarf trees are expected to fail,
to die of old age at from sixteen to
twenty five years, while the standard
trees are young at fifty years, and
there are many sound, healthy and
productive standard trees that are
two hundred years old. We have
said this much as preliminary for the
benefit of those who are not acquaint
ed with the facts we have recited.
Many farmers insist that this is not
a pear country. They have seen many
pear trees planted which we're not Of
the proper varieties to succeed mere,
or may have seen them planted in a
spot where the best pear trees in the
world would have failed, or they may
have watched the decay of trees that
had become diseased during the abuses
incident to their passing from one
dealer to another. and because these
trees failed they have rashly couclud-
ed that this is not pear country.
But let these persons get trees from
the hands of man who raised them
in this country, and who knows how
to produce sound and vigorous tree
one who knows what varieties to give
them, and let them plant well upon
suitable ground, giving them suitable
care. and he will find, to bis delight,
that he lives in one Of the best pear
countries in the world. Ii has often
been said aud written that there is no
fruit so very eccentric ss the pear.
The real truth is that there is no fruit
so requiring. Failure to heed these re-
quirements has caused macy failures
with the pear. This fruit exaets very
precise conditions. or it sill fail Ele-
