The pic mic at this place on last Thurs
day passed off very pleasantly. The can:
didates were out in full force and seemed
to enjoy the occasion finely. The follow
ing questions were propounded by the
Club to the candidates for the Legislature {:
Will you supporta bill submitting the
question of Constitutional Convention
to vote of the people?
Are YOU in favor of the State receiving
the Clemson bequest, and establishing
school of Agriculture and Technology at
Fort Hill?
Are you in favor Of reducing salaries of
County offices, and also reducing the
number of Offices?
Will you support bill reducing the
expenses and mum ber of COroner's IN
quests, and requiring the Coroner to hold
an inquest only when majority of the
freeholders present shall say the inquest is
necessary, and limiting the whole ex-
pense of the inquest to say, three to five
dollars
Are you in favor of abolishing so-called
expert evidence in our Courts and in.
quests?
will you support bill limiting the
power of County Commissioners to spend
the peoples money, by forbiding them
from appropriating more than i've hun.
dred dollars for any new enterprise, with
out submitting it to q vote OF the people?
The candidates for the Legislature
present were Messrs. Breazeale, Miller,
Rucker, Watson and Clinkscales, all tax
ing up the questions in the order named,
giving their views in general upon them.
Messrs. Wardlaw, Miller and Russell,
who are aspiring for the School Commits
sioners Office, were called for, and came
forward and made nice little speeches.
Altogether, the day was an enjoyable one,
good rain fell about four o'clock IN the
afternoon, and all went home cheerful
and happy.
Crops. are doing vol. We think forward
corn is safe, SO far as rain is concerned.
DR.. r. G. Witherspoon is not only
successful physician, but a good farmer
as we'll; he has by far the best piece Of
upland corn that we have seen. Mr.. ohm
Anderson has three acl es of extra line
cotton. He made last year on two acres
of the same land upwards Of twenty seven
hundred pounds Of seed cotton, He has
added another acre this year, and the sea-
sons have been more favorable, making 1t
look very promising indeed.
By invitation, we visited Mr.. James Il.
Anderson few days ago. He is, perhaps,
the most successful bee man in our
knowledge. He is, and has been. for
some years making bee culture study,
and any one has but to visit his we'll kept
apiary to be convinced that what he has
learned, he is putting into actual practice.
He has recently imported from Carniola
a Queen, in order to better prepare him
self to supply any one that wishes to I'M !.
prove their bees without the expense of
ordering them from abroad. The Carnio.
lans are the greatest bees known-equal
the Italians in honey gathering qualities
and in point of beauty, and far excel them
in proli6cness and hardihood. Mr.. An
dcrson believes in doing "right what he
does.p BE has five acres of branch bot
toms in corn that we verify believe will
make thirty bushels per acre ct least.
He makes cotton his surplus crop, and
comes as near, ne expect, making MS ly-
ing at home as any person in the State.
The schools of this community were
re.opened on last Monday, and are only
tolerably we'll attended. BURKE,
