III endeavoring two weeks ago to
supply an omission, we got things
slightly mixed" We refer to an
allusior to the decisions of the State
Supreme Court. The mistake We
made was in saying that Senator
Rhame was of counsel for the defend
ant in the case Of Hodge ct al VS..
Weeks ct al. Mr. Rhame WAS not in
this case, but was Of counsel for de-
fendant in the case of DeLaine vs.
Alderman, the other case we mention
ed the previous week. Nh: Chas.
Boyle, of Charleston, was of counsel
for plaintiffs in both the cases. We
have it right this time.

stock, and has some as fine stock as
is in the county. Last Wednesday
he received by express thorough
bed merino buck, one year and five
months old, which cost him sl6.S5.
The sire of this buck yielded at one
clipping sixteen pounds OF wool.

grade of sheep as far as the quality
of wool is concerned, as it is about
the same quality as that of the ordi-
nary sheep, but they yield about
three times the quantity of wool. An
ordinary sheep will yield about five

will begin sheep raising on a small
scale, but he believes there is money
