Good Bye, If You are Gone!

The Era talks in its last two issues
about not holding any further COM
munication with us. We don't blame it
We suppose that it has occasion to re-
gret what it has had already. Oh
course we will feel lonely at the depar,
ture of the Era for it is an excellent
counselor to give advice on any side Of
all questions. 1t first takes one side
and then the other, and then neither.
If it does 60 we will feel like singing
the following
REQUIEM TO ITS DEPARTURE.

Who Started 1t?

The Era says "all the other issues
and personalities have been pushed up
on us by the STANDARD" Now sob
servant reader" who asked the six
questions that we have been discussing :
Look in the Era of the 26th of Feb,
1880, and you will sec. There d. F.
Wallace asks us l If we voted for the
50-4, and four other questions, and then
comes the 9Th, Ul f
Will the STANDARD vote for Savage
for Governor 2 ~
This is what started it and pushed it
on the STANDARD; the STANDARD
pushed down the avalanche and the
avalanche crushed the Era, and if any
body is hurt it is not our fault.

Who Handed the 50.4 Paper Round !
A. M. BURNEY's STATEMENT.

A. NJ. BURNEY'S STATEMENT.
We met d. F. Wallace in Fleming's drug
store with the paper in hand with his name
signed. He handed it to us, we signed it,
and he handed it to DR.. Fleming, who signed
it and d. f. Wallace handed it to w. V.
Whtson to sign. This we saw, Messrs. Har.
well, Murray and Spurlock speak for them
selves-hear them.
D.F. wALLACE's CERTIFICATE
"We never refuted, or attempted to refute
or deny that We signed the petition to the
bondholder, and we did it in DR.. Fleming's
drug store" y .; "and that you signed af
ter us, and DR.. Fleming after you" [See D.
f. Wallace's statement in Era of March 1S
1880. This is what we say too.-ED.l
Mr.. M. B. Harwell says:
"Mr. Wallace gives statement in his pa
per purporting to be what 1 said. | deem
it an act Of justice to state the matter my
self. I said to Mr.. Burney that d. F. Wal
lace, according to my best recollection, pre-
sented the paper to me near the post Office
door, and if he did not Kennedy did"
MR.. MURRAY's STATEMENT.
stated to Mr.. Burney that after my nam'
had been signed to the paper, that anothe
COPY was presented, and to the best of m!
recollection it was presented by d. F. Wal
lace. do not think any thing was said be
tween Mr.. Burney and myself as to whethe
my recollection was clear or not, as that wa
not mentioned, if it had been, would hav,
told him that it was not clear.

A Great Year for this Country

The year 1879 will pass into Ameri-
can history as year Of wonderful ag-
ricultural prosperity. The cotton crop
is larger by half million bales than
ever before, the tobacco crop, 12,0O0,.
600 pounds greater, and the sugar crop
exceeds by some 200, 900 hogsheads all
previous yields. These are crops which
belong almost exclusively to the South
ern half of the Republic. In behalf Of
the Northern States the excess of pro-
ducts this year over the crops of any
previous year is, according to the Chi
cago Journal of Commerce, 20, 900, 900
bushels of wheat, and from 80,000,-
900 to 100000, 900 bushels of corn.
The hog crop also is larger this year
than for years past-if it be not the
largest ever raised. Scientific American.

Our esteemed friend, Prof. A. M.
Burney, has purchased the SOUTHERN
STANDARD, at McMinnville. He is
an accomplished, graceful writer, and
will make an able, excellent editor
Columbia Herald.
We do not intend to occupy the
space of our columns nor the time Of
our readers with all that we see in our
exchanges complimentary to the STAND
ARD, but we hope our friends will par
don US for reproducing few short no.
tices this week as they will show how
the STANDARD ranks among its con-
temporaries. The above notice is from
the Columbia Herald, paper that we
have read from our boyhood Its pres
ent editor is our highly esteemed friend
Col. A. S. Horsley, whose fame as an
editor is not confined to the limits of
this his native State, but has been
sounded over all the South and far dis
tant West. But as our friend Horsley
is now verging upon Bachelorhood, we
do not by any means wish to make the
impression that he was the editor when
iUe were in our "boyhood."

Marshal is Wheat, a very useful

Revenue Collector bird we'll adapt
ed to the business ofcollecting, especial
ly as it has long blu against every
debtor, and can reach to the bottom of
the pocket where the money lies close
and fast. Then we have an Elder
John L) as chief clerk in the United
States Revenue Collectors office. This
vegetable has been long prised for its
medical qualities as well as for domes-
tic uses, such as making pop guns for
the boys and faucets for maple sugar
makers in tapping their trees. In Bot
any it belongs to the genus sambuens
and our North American plant is the
san'bucus canadensis, but this does not
mean that our. friend John Elder is
now changed to Samuel or Samson
either on account of his exalted piety
and gift of prophecy, or his increased
strength by virture of his promotion to
that office. The word Canadensis
above looks as if it were the word from
which Kennedy, the name of our
clever and popular Postmaster, was
derived. But McMinnville caps the
climax. We here have not exactly
Bismarck Brown so fashionable some
years ago, but John 7. Brown, and on
our public square both in the center
and on the N. +. corner we have a
Pm,k-Robert Park oar Revenue man.
