MIR. EDITOR: At meeting of the

which came before the club this reso-
luton was offered and adopted.

of our delegates in the Congressional
Convention who voted against Prima-

sentiments of the County Convention
that Pickens County was by large
majority in favor of Primary, and if
not directly instructed were Indirectly.
Respectfully,

A Dangerous Lawsuit.
y. B. SUTHERLAND, Pres.

We are informed that an action has
been commenced in tho United States
Court by the heirs of q former resident
of Columbia named Friday to recover
from the State the Agricultural Bull
DIM and the lot on which it stands.
The basis Of the suit is that the title
is defective and that the State there
fore bought nothing. This property
was purchased somo two or three
years ago, and the purchase money
and improvements cost the State some
$4,000.
We would like to know who is re-
sponsiblo for this blundor? who ad-
vised the purchase? and Now came
the State to buy costly property upon
defective titles? Give us the facts
Wdtchnedn and &outhron.

Truth Stranger than Fiction.

There is an old saying to the effect that
"there is nothing new under the sun"
and yet from the following it would ap
pear that there is an exception, even to
this rule.
At point six miles wcst of st. Aug
ustine, Florida, on the line of the ST.
Johns Railway, lies beautiful tract of
land which has recently been laid out in
q towns site called, West ST. Augustine
st Augustine proper is tho oldest City
in the United States, and abOunds with
lengcndlore, and historical antiquity, and
few if any of the many thousands that
visit Florida fail to take look Mt the Sea
Wall, Old Fort, and the many other in
tcresting objects. 1t was founded Sep
tombor 8th, 1865, forty two years provi-
Gus to the settlement Of jamestown, Va.
and fifty years before the landing Of
the Pilgrims on Plymouth Rock The
name st. Augustine was given to The
place by the Spaniards, because they Ian
dod upon the day dedicated to that rev
cred and learned saint. st. Augustine is
growing rapidly, being tho terminus of
two4ailwayS, and othors are being oxtcn-
dod toward it, and tits now known as the
Hotel City of Florida.

j. III. G. Durham, of 1S Mile, has
brought to this Office Brazilian Yam
potato, about eight inches in ciroumfer-
ence, five inches long, and weighing one
and onc-fourth pounds, of this years
growth. He not only has fine potatoes,
but good crops generally, and is one of
our best farmers.
While i'll Indiana last week, We had
the pleasure of viewing aud partially go
| ing ovor, ono Of the finest farms for corn
wheat, oats, and hay we have over seen
or heard of. This farm is owned and
operated by Mr.. William Harness. he
has harvested several thousand bushels
of wheat and oats and is now moving his
(Timothy) hay. Our attention was spe-
| cially called to 200 acres of land planted
in corn, this year, for the first time. The
land was broken with four yoke of oxen
hitched to n plow-stock having beam
ten feet long, and plow-sharo five feet
in length which made furrow about ten
inches deep, by twelve inches wide. Tho
corn was planted about the first of June.
The rows are about three feet apart. md
the hills of corn 18 or 20 inches apart,
with four stalks oftenor than two in n
hill. 1t has not been touched bya In
borer since it was planted but it looks
fine and will make from so to GO bushels
per acre. There are 1000 acres of land
IN Mr.. Harnesses Hiawasse Farm, and he
owns besides, most valuable farm ut
Middle Fork, Indiana, which is superin
tended by one of his sons. Mr. Harness
also has fine herds of swine and cattle.
We would have been delighted to have
spent several days in his hospitablo
home, with his pleasant family, but time
forbade us. He is staunch democrat
of Virginia descent, and loves the South.
A HAPPY CONTAMINATION tho 21st

ton ut that Deserted Village Old Pick

by many of the friends and relatives of
these old settlers, who delight to Wow
again the happy scenes Of their youth,
and on this quiet sacred, and secluded
spot to opon to tho inquisitive gaze of
their children the precious store house of
memory. Many of them gathered from
Walhalla, Seneca, Pendleton and Pick
ems to greet each other, and together to
turn over the precious jewels of the past,
and to allow fond memory to be refresh
cd, by painting the scenes of other days.
"Swect scenes of youthful bliss, unknown

An Enormous Reptile.

Mont, special TO the Pioneer Press says:
Last Monday stage driver and two tour.
lists while near Yellowstone Lake claim to
have seen an enormous reptile which, while
running through the grass, carried its head
10 or. 10 feet about ground. They think it
must have been ut least 80 feet long. A
party was organized to pursue the reptile.
Yesterday party OF gentlemen, among
them Colonel Wear, superintendent Of the
Park, and his assistant, Captain Barronette,
while near the cave Of an extinct geyser
in the vicinity of the lake, heard a Kissing
and saw the head Of the reptile thrust out

Judge Castaneda, who has from the begin
ing been, with Medina, the instigator OF
the whole trouble. lie is all enemy of the
prisoner because the latter always treated
him with marked lack Of respect. The
trial will commence within three days at
the furthest. Council has been assigned
to Cutting against his desire. The lawyer
who was thus assigned is said to be mex
perienced. Well-informed Mexicaus who
are thoroughly conversant with the crimi-
nal practice of their country, say the sem
tence will be pretty apt to be two years
