The Joint Summer Meeting of the
State Agricultural Society and State
Grange, which convened in Chester on
Tuesday, the 18th inst, was we'll attend
ed by representatives from the different
sections ofthe State, and was throughout
q most pleasant and profitable meeting.
On the first day addresses of welcome
were delivered by Mr.. T. G. Castor, on
the part of the town Council of Chester,
and by Mr.. Sanders, on the part of the
Pomona Grange Of Chester County,
which were responded to by Col. j. N.
Lipscomb, Master of the State Grange,
and Hon. B. F. Crayton, President of the
State Agricultural Society. Able essays
were read by Col. A. P. Butler, of Aiken,
Fish Commissioner for South Carolina,
on the culture of fish, and by General
Johnson Hagood on stock breeding. On
the second day Col. Lipscomb delivered
an able and elaborate address upon the
Grange and its objects, after which a
meeting of the Survivors of the Seven
teenth Regiment was held, and addressed
by Col. F. w. McMaster, their Colonel
in. the Confederate service. In the af-
ternoon interesting and instructive essays
were read By DR.. G. B. Lartigue, of
Barnwell, on grape culture, by Chancel-
lor johnson, of Marion, on the subject of
orchards, and by Mr.. D. R. Duncan, of
Union, on the grasses. We hope soon to
be able to lay these essays before our
readers, and can assure them they will
repay a careful reading in the pleasure
and profit they will afford. The third day
was taken up in discussion of several
queries pertaining to the agricultural in
terests of the State, prominent among
which was the subject of railroads and
railroad transportation, which elicted, as
usual, lengthy debate upon the griev-
ances of their management. Invitations
for the next meeting were received from
Greenville and Darlington, and referred
to the Executive Committee of the two
bodies. The Grange held several impor-

DEATH OF J. S. G. RICHARDSON, ESQ.
The death of James S. G. Richardson,
Esq, which occurred at the Rockbridge
Alum Springs, Virginia, on Monday
night last, will be received with deep and
universal regret by the bench, the bar
and all the people of South Carolina.
Mr.. Richardson had filled the highly i'm
portant position of State Reporter, with
the intermission of four years, when the
office was filled by James NJ. Strobhart,
Esq, for thirty-four years. Publishing
his first reports in 1915, he was succeeded
in 1916 by Mr.. Strobhart, but again re-
sumed its duties on reelection in 1850,
and has continued ever since, through
every vicssitude of war, revolution and
recaicitrating misrule, the Reporter of
South Carolina decisions of Law and
Equity. He has reported thirteen vol.
umcs of cases in Equity i'll the "Old
Equity" series, and fourteen volumes of
the sold Law Reports" Nine volumes
of his "New Series" have been pub
lished, and the tenth is now in the hands
of the printers.

Something New.

The following article has been go- ing the rounds of the Western Press and which, if true, will prove a great thing for the south western States and Territories:
 Gov sBroSs, of the Chicago Trjb- une, informed the writer the other day that he had discovered on the farm of Deacon James Hollister, at Kinsley Kas-, grain-yet unknown to American agriculture-thatis is des= tined Gas the Governor expresses iO to become, in the near future, of more importance to Colorado and the arid plains of the West than all of her gold and silver mines combined. The grain was imported from the rainless country on the Upper Nile, in Egypt. MT. Hollister has raised about five acres of it this year, and it produces in the nei ghborhood of sixty bushels to the acre. He terms it "rice, or Egyptain corn" It will flourish anywhere upon these dry plains, without irrigation, and is fully equal in quality to American corn or bar ley.''

"What is that for?" said Parsons.
"Mr. Perkins says he is very busy to-

''Take that back to Mr. Perkins, y
said the Judge, "and tell him to come at

When Mr.. Perkins appeared, the
Judge looked sternly at him, and said:
"what do mean, sir, by sending money
when you are summoned to sit on this

Mr.. Perkins replied, II meant no dis
