vaDces I may be able to gather items
of news Of more general character to
everybody. For everything seems
monotonous-scarcely anything to
write, except rain. This might Justly
be called rainy week. 1t almost
excells any time we have ever known,
for farming operations. Lands are 50
boggy, that if the rain stops, a week
must elapse before plowing can lie re-
sumed. The wet weather has caused
much delay. Instead Of getting ready
to plant we all have to ditch. There
is really some uneasiness felt as to the
future prospects Of the farming inter
est of the community, because OF so
much rain. It is impossible to fore
see what will be the character of the

Jordan Notes.

Jordan is moving quietly but reso.
lutely along the path of prosperity.
Our merchants and many Of our
farmers have been to Charleston re-
Gently to purchase supplies, the
former are now driving a lively busl-
ness. The farmers Of this section have
gone to work with a determination,
which, with the large amount of fer
tilizers procured, insures another big
crop.
The public schools are still in ses-
sion in this district and will be until
the last Of March. The credit for
this great improvement in the length
of the term is due our worthy board
of trustees, who have managed the
schools in such a lucrative ana equit-
able way, that their changes and de-
cisions have met with general appro-
baton, with the exception OF one OF
two teachers, who were thrown out

Is the Pension Law Unjust ?

S[R. ED1ToR:-In your issue OF Sth
Feb'y, Your piece headed The Pension
Law Unjust, after criticising our leg
islators, you branch out on poor SOL
diers. You say the law savors I too
much of supporting mendicancy; thatt
the soldiers who deserve the pension
are those who have something. we
venture there is not one who lost a
limb, and has accumulated property,
but had something when they came
out of the war. You bave thrown q
bomb in the camp of the. poor Con-
federate soldiers. You have given
them weapon to stab you with. How
about the poor soldiers who came out
of the war without scratch, and are
still poor to-day. They must cer-
tainly be worse than mendlcants.
We did not think there was a man IN
South Carolina who would wish our
soldiers to be beggars. You certain
" do IS YOU say pension the few, very
few, ii not by the State, then by their
neighbors. We would like for you to
mention few who asked the State to
pension them. Our soldiers have
been silent ever since the war closed,
not asking for ceat, and now to be
accused as beggars or recommended
to beg their neighbors, IS too bad; It's
shame.
Now, Mr. Editor, do You wis your
paper to prosper? if 50, t&ke our
word for it, YOU let soldiers alone.
You have subscribers all over the
county who you are recommending to
beg their neighbors. We admit there
are black sheep in all Aocks, but your
assertions are too broad.

As early as it is in the year, there are
several candidates in the field, and it
is very likely the canvass will be a

two candidates for Sheriff, one for
