tiousness in the discharge Of his public duties,
and his ability and patriotism as the Chief
Executive of the State In retiring from the
office which he 50 ably filled, Governor l1a-
good deserves, as he will receive from the
entire people of the State, the plaudit-
doffe, good and faithful servant"

A FINE PORKER.

Mr.. W. J. Gordon slaughtered hog the
other day which, when dressed, weighed $50
pounds. The pig was only 13 months old /;
and this fact shows that pork could be raised
in South Carolina, if our people would only
take proper interest in this important depart
ment of agricultural economy.
Mr.. S. A. McElwee seems to be turning his
attention in this direction-he having received
by express last Monday three fine Berkshire
pigs from a Tennessee stock-raser The pigs
are six weeks old and weigh about 60 pounds
apiece
