about the same. The present condition Of the
crop, as compared with the same time last year,
is better, with a prospective increase of twenty
per cent. over the yield of the last.crop.
The acreage in corn and other grain crops is as
large as last year. and the yield will be about the
same Upland corn is more promising than bot
tom lands, that planted in the bottoms having
been drowned out by the excessive rains in the
early part of the season.
The character of the labor is represented as
better than it has been any year since the war,
and this is borne out by the fact that notwith-
standing the unusually wet season in the early
stages of the cotton crop, retarding operations
and giving grass rapid start ofthe plant. when
the weather became favorable for tilling the
fields the supply of labor was about equal to the
emergency; the labor was willing and efficient,
and consequently buta small area, taking the ag-
gregate of the county, was abandoned entirely
to the grass. Some few fields were thrown out
but these exceptions are few.
The present outlook is cheering, and the finan-
cial condition of the farmers, and the general
prosperity of the county were never more en-
couraging. l.'..

G.. E. SPENCER, ESQ. Dear Sir: Your
note of this date, through the hands of, Mr..
P. Moore, calling attention to the fact
that in your address at McConnellsville on
last Thursday, while speaking of certain
alleged corrupt influences in the General
Assembly, last winter, you disclaimed any
intention to reflect upon myself personally,
or to connect me Herewith, is just received.

w. G.. Campbell, o. J. Gwin and others
who heard your remarks, failed to hear the
disclaimer as stated by you publicly at
Yorkville on Saturday, and reiterated IN
YOUR note of to-day. Had it been heard,
it needless to say that the strong language
used by me in repelling what deemed then
to be an unjust and offensive insinuaJion,
would not have been used; and since your
candid disclaimer of any motive or lntea-
tion to use the language you did IN any
offensive or personal sense, it affords me
pleasure to withdraw all expressions on my
part, in my address at cConnellsville, that
might be construed as opprObrious or otfen-
sive to yourself.
This will be handed you by my friend,
Mr.. John D. Mcconnell. 1 am very re-
spectfully, JAS. F. HART.
The undersigned, mutual frlends OF u. T..
Spencer, Esq, and Maj. Jas. F. Hart, after
reading the correspondence above on the
subject of the recent unpleasantness occur
ring between them at McConnellsville pre-

statements of each as satisfactory to the res
pective friends of both parties, and as form
ing sufficient basis for the restoration of
the amicable relations heretofore existing

YoRKvILLE, S. c., August 26, 1884.
MAJ. JAS. F. HART, Yorkville, sc. Dear
Sir; In your address at the Democratic
precinct meeting at Yorkville, last Satur-
day, YOU stated that neither yourself nor
your friends heard my disclaimer of any
intention to reflect upon the honesty of your
vote on the amendment to the Railroad
Bill, in December 1888; but you added
that my statement at Yorkville that had
made such disclaimer at McConnellsville,
was satisfactory to you. I mentioned no
names, because / had no idea, until you
spoke at Yorkville, that you had not heard
my remarks upon that point at McConnells-
vile; but now refer you to the following
named gentlemen who were present at the
meeting, and who did hear the disclaimer:
Gen. E. NJ. Law, w. B. Wilson, Jr., K: II.
Glenn, ESQ.,, w. B. Williams, Esq, and Mr..
L. Lowry Smith.
And now call upon you to do what one
gentlemen has the right to expect OF an
other, and that is to withdraw all appro-
brious language directed against me at NC
Connellsville.
This letter will be handed to you by my
friend, Mr.. J.. P. Moore. Respectfully,

STUNG TO DEATH BY BEEs.-Mr. VIM.
Maxwell, Jr, yesterday had fine pointer
dog stung to death by bees. The dog was
chained in the back yard and jumped over
the fence into the front yard, just at the
spot where hive of bees were stationed.
The chain held the dog so that he could not
get back and the bees swarmed on his head
and stung him so that he died in few min
utes. The cries Of the dog were said to
have been distressing. At the time he died
his head was swollen to about twice it's
normal size.-Cburl0tte Observer

will be Republican and us there are n
great many officers whose terms expire
during the next session of Congress thev
or their successors will be Immediately
reappointed by President Arthur and
confirmed by the Senate, and as their
official terms will extend over four
years, these positions will remain
heritages. They can not be removed
from office unless for cause, and conduct
on the part of any one of them unbe-
coming his position would be the only
act that would remove him. Mr.. Cleye-
land may find find 1t very difficult to get
the Senate to confirm his appointments

part of that body would have the effect
of continuing in Office all Republican

main in his position until either reap
pointed or succeeded. no matter If his
