COLUMBIA, April Ex-Governor Till
man has had another novel question
propounded to him, which will doubt
less involve another lawsuit before the
matter is settled Assistant Attorney
General Townsend, to whom the mat
ter has been referred, says that no one
who was of age in 1882, and who has
failed to take out registration ticket
can now do so, and that those who
subsequently, became of age and did
not take out their registration certifi-
Gates in the same year can not do so
now.
The decision will debar very great
many voters, and especially a class
whom it wa, especially intended to
affect. The complaints now being re-
ce;ved by Governor Tillman come
chiefly from Sumter County, where
some white men are being declined
registration certificates in accordance
with the law as construed by Assistant
Attorney General McLaurin.
To-day Governor Tillman received
the following direct opinion with re-
gard to the law:
COLUMBIA, April 6, 1892.
To his Excellency, B. r. Tillman,
Governor of South Carolina, Colum-
bia, S. C.-Dear Sir: The letter of w.
J. Shaw, of Sumter, S. c., asking
whether a person who was qualified to
register at the first call for registration,
and who did not register then, can now
register, has been referred by your
Excellency to the Attorney General
for his opinion, and I have the honor
to state to your Excellency that such
person cannot now register, morris there
any provision for his registration.
The Act Of Registration, approved
9th February, 1882, provided that the
books of registration should be opened
IN May and June thereafter, after Que
notice of the time, place, etc. It also
provided that after the completion Of
the registration then, or down to the
months OF May and June thereafter,
t le books should be closed and not be
reopened until after the next general
election, and then to register only
such as had become qualified after said
election. There is no provision for
registering person who was so care
less as to allow the proper time to
elapse without registering. have the
honor to be your obedient servant.
D. A. TOWNSEND,
Assistant Attorney General.
Governor Iillman has taken the
matter under advisemen5, and will
probably refer to the matter in his next
message to the Legislature.

as we come South, we find as in the
case of corn and wheat, a very marked
falling off: Maryland keeps up to ABOUT
20 bushels per acre. But Virginia has
only a little over 10, that is a yietd OF
6,6l7, 900 bushels on 6lS, ,404 acres. North
Carolina comes under 10 bushels, that
is $4,000 bushels on 55s,93S acres.
South Carolina yields 4,0S5, 900 on 1885,
36l acres, or about 10! bushels per acre,
certainly nothing to brag of, but at any
rate not quite the worst, as in the case
Of wheat and corn.
Kentucky, Missouri and Texas so up
to about 20 bushels per acre. The total
product of the country was 73S, 1874, 900
bushels; acreage 25, 5Sl 1851; value s232, :
312, 267; yield per acre % bushels; value
per acre S9.10; value per bushel 81
cents. The crop Of 1890 was 523, ,62l 900
bushels.
The table in question does not give
the cotton crop in detail, or fea: our
State would make the same bad show
ing as compared with other cotton
States. 1t merely gives the estimated
value of the crop at $3.50, 100000 and
rightly attributes the low prices to over
production. The average yield in South
Carolina is bale, and rather light
one at that, to three acres, which is not
over one third of what might easily be
produced. The writer is sure from
some slight experience, that baie to
the acre can be produced without rluch
effort, and with less labor and expense
than it takes to make one on three
acres.
Here is a broad field of labor fo: the
Alliance and Farmers movement, to
teach our farmers by every means at
their disposal to improve their methods
of cultivation so as to make their :ands
more productive, and the advantage Of
varying their products, so as not 10 be
dependent on single crop as at pres
ent. This would be a far more fit and
proper field tor the exercise of their en-
ergies, than the one now occupied by
them in fomenting discord and tostil-
ity between the farmers and other
classes of our people. This was the
original alleged purpose of the Farm
ers' movement, and no one more hear
tily endorsed it than the writer.
Let US hope that it may be brought
back to it's original purpose. If 80, it
will be antagoniZed by no class of our
people, and least of all by our mer-
chants and bankers. CIrIs.

LOUISVILLE, KY, March 20.-At the

less and hopeless. They were taken
bv kind people from their house o.
refuge and cared for, but Mrs. Agnew
would as soon have died, except for bel
children, for with the wreck Of the
Cambria Iron Works her husbard was
lost, and, though she searched a. fal
as she could down the river, the cruel
waters refused to give up his dead body.
She was widowed and beggared, one Of
the many.
She was seeking in despair, when
there came letter from the ci3y. It
was from her brother, John PritchaId,
a well-known machinis5 at the Louis
vile and Nashville shops. He bade
his sister come home to him, ard her
mother sent her the means to come.
Here she lived quietly, grieving for her
husband, while her little ones. with
the happy forgetfulness of childhood,
found in Uncle Jack another ;ather.
For a long time things went on quietly,
and the poignant first grief melted
into the later sorrow of widowhood.
One day not long ago letter carrier
stopped at the Pritchard house. The
letter bore the stamp of Allentown, Pa.
With nervous fingers Mrs. Agnew
opened it. She read it partly; then q
great joy came over her, for her lost
husband was alive. When the de-
stroying water swept over the works
Agnew was swept away in the wreck.

he was lost.
Darkness and che agony Of death
settled upon him, and he knew no
more for time. When he recovered
kind hands were lifting him from q
tangle of wreckage and dead bodies,
aud he was carried to a Red Cross tent.
There lie lay many days u1corscious,
shattered in mind and body. At last
The flickering fame of life began to
burn more briskly. Reason came back
and the bruised body regaiDed strength.
Then he inquired after his wife and
children, and for the first time he
learned the extent of the disaster. He
lived because he could not help 1t.
For long tina he went or thus; then,
through the inquiries of a good priest,
it WAS learned that the Pritchards lived
in Louisville, and with them the lost
wife and children. James Agrew and
Elizabeth aguew are reunited, but they
will never forget the Johnstowp horror.
