Mr.. EDITOR: The weather has
been entirely too cool for cotton
and corn to do we'll for the past
two weeks, stands are generally
good, but cotton looks very bad
and is not doing much. The cut
worm has seriously injured tho
stand of corn and done much
damage. The oat and wheat crop
is generally sorry on account of
cold weather and drought; about
one half crop upon an average
will be made.
Farmers are generally hard up
on account of raising too much
cotton and failing to make plenty
of corn and meat, and it would be
true, too, to say they don't work
enough. They do not stick close
enough to business, and lose en-
tirely too much time. If they
worked as hard and stuck to busi-
ness like merchants and town peo-
pie generally do they would be far
more successful, prosperous, and
independent. Some men complain

Shooting Affray at Denmark.

DENMARK, S. c., May 1S.-Again
the ever ready pistol has caused
great excitement in the quiet
town Of Bamberg. This morning
at 9 o'clock the citizens were
startled by hearing reports of
pistols firing in rapid succession.
Messrs. II. Eaves and Willie
Johns had just entered in a per-
sonal encounter. The firing lasted
two minutes and ceased.
"Mr. T. E. Andrea, who was
standing about 100 yards away,
was struck by stray ball over
the eye, fracturing the skull. He
is dangerously wounded. Mr.. Eaves
was shot through the pants, the
ball grazing the skin. Mr.. Johns
was shot through the thigh.
The two journalists, Tally and
Malgas, are getting OH as we'll as
can be expected, but they are both
dangerously hurt.

A Visit to the Coosaw Phosphate
Works.

Mr.. EDITOR: I thought a line
or two from this place might be of
passing interest to some of your
readers. Leaving home on the
18th inst, I reached Beaufort on
the following evening, where I
spent the night, and the following
day in visiting some of the phos-
phate works near there. We came
to this place yesterday morning
and began the moisture test'' at
Coosaw phosphate works with Gen.
VIM. Stokes, of Early Branch, and
Mr.. Comvoysiers, cf Port Royal,
who are acting with me. This
moisture test is instituted for the
purpose of ascertaining the per-
centage of loss between the crude
and dried rock, and to establish
uniformity in that among the
different phosphate companies
mining in Coosaw river and other
streams.
At present there is no uniform
rate in that respect among them.
Coosaw employs variously from
two hundred to five hundred hands
in all departments of their work.
The company complains of not
making money nevertheless. Yet
the time once was when their
dividends were enormous, COM
pared to incomes from other lines
of business.
We met here our genial friend
DR.. Hutson, who formerly lived at
Edgefeld. He is the popular
physician of this village. He
made inquiry of many Edgefeld
folks and particularly of his
special friend Mr.. James NJ. Cobb.
and complained that be had never
honored him with a visit.
1t is quite i'll contrast with our
loose way of farm-business to wit
ness the system of conducting the
labor of one of these large phos-
phate works. Everything moves
with clock-like regularity. There
are no evidences of any farm work
carried on on this island so far as
we have observed. 1t seems TO be
used for pasturage for goats and
cattle. The largest flock of goats
that we have seen in a long time
are grazing around here on this
luscious grass. We have scribbled
this in haste.
Yours, etc.,

been in cultivation between thirty
five and forty years, and it makes
between seventy and seventy-fve
bushels of corn per acre, without
any fertilizers. Our land here is
high rolling prairie and produces
equal to any bottom land, all that
it needs is rains during the sum-
mer. One ordinary hand here can
cultivate as much as two good
hands can in Edgefeld.
Crops in this part of Texas are
looking we'll. Some of the early
wheat is beginning to turn and
will be ready to cut in about ten
days. Oats are just beginning to
head, that is spring oats. Fall
oats will do to cut about the time
that We cut our wheat. Corn is
from knee to waist high. Most of
the cotton is up, but some are not
done planting yet. We have not
been able to do any work on the
farm for a week, as it has rained
every day, and it will be three or
four days before the ground will
be dry enough, if it don't rain any
more.

and say they have no luck. I am
not surprised at all that they don't
have any luck because they don't
work and manage as they should.
The best way I always found to
get anything was to work for it,
and work, and keep working on,
and not be afraid of work. A man
in a great measure makes his own
luck by his good work and close
attention to business. If I could

MR.. EDITOR; upper Choty stlll
lives and moves and has her being.
The farmers are exerting all their
energy and muscle, trying to de-
stroy the grass, while it is yet
young and before the wet weather
sets in in June. Having had dry
April and May We are looking for
ward to rain, and lots of it, in June,
when oat cutting time comes.
We have had good rains since
our last, which has caused the oats
to stretch up. The forward oats
are very good, but the late sowing
is sorry, and SO is the wheat ex-
cept in spots.
In spite Of cut worms there are
good stands of cotton, and some
are about done chopping out. Cut
worms are not as bad in this sec
tion however, as they are over in
the neighborhood of Mr.. Abe Gil
christ. Abe passed our house a
few days ago, and told us that the
cut worms had cut down all the
cotton in his section, and the foots
of all the plows and a few of the
negroes.
Your humble scribe and one or
two chums went down to Uncle
Ben Glanton's a few ago on big
fishing frolic. We went in high
spirits expecting to bring home a
two horse wagon load. Uncle Ben
Lewis and N. HI. worked faithfully
with us night and day, but alas
in vain were our efforts, and we
come home sadly disappointed.
While there Uncle Ben told US
some old news. He said that he
met an old colored woman at Parks
vile not long ago and thinking
she was the oldest looking person
he had ever seen asked her how
old she was. She looked up at
him with a toothless smile, and
said, "Ah, Lawd Massa I can't
tell how cid 1 am, but member
we'll when the Savannah river
wasn't nuthin' but little bit of a
branch.
On our way home we took in
Red Hill, the capital of Choty,
and it is getting to be quite busi-
ness place. There is one store
run by Mr.. Arthur Morgan, that
carnot be surpassed the country
round. Then there is a saw mill
and grist mill with shingle ma
chine and planer attachment, a
blacksmith and wood shop, and
also large and fourishing school,
but speaking of schools the one at
Barr's chapel taught by Miss Liz
zie Eubanks cannot be surpassed.
Miss Lizzie takes great pains with
her pupils, and they show itwhen-
ever you see them.

noble sermon at Barr's Chapel

Sensation.


Sensation.
The following we clip from the
Columbia Journal. There is prob
ably enough truth in it to flavor it
and that is all.
CHARLESTON, S. c., May 1s.7A
prominent farmer from Edgefeld,
who has represented his county in
one branch Of the Legislature, told
some interesting things to The
Journal correspondent this morn
ing. He is a man of wealth and
influence and Tillmanite. He
has been here several days on
business and returns home to-
night.
His remarks were not made for
publication, but everything he
stated was said in bold, fearless
manner in the presence of several
others.
If what he said is true, and gen.
tlemen who know him say his We
racity cannot be questioned, his
utterances Will, be widely read
throughout the State, as they di-
vulge some interesting matter:
Yes, sir, We are growing mighty
tired of this never-ceasing politi-
cal fight, up in Edgefeld. Till
NANTES and Conservatives are
alike praying for peace and quiet
once MORE"
"Who is to blame for it ALP"
was asked.
"Both sides. One es much as
the other, and both sides are weary
1t is beginning to look like fight
of the office-seekers and politicians
and the people be ID" A pecu-
liar Edgefeld accent fingered upon
the last word.
care you a Tillmanise or Anti?'
someone asked.
"I am Tillmanite, or rather
was until Irby and Governor Till
man defeated Uncle George Till
man for Congress. But I reckon
now I am a backslider. 1 have
fallen from grace or disgrace, ]
don't know which"
"Is it true then that Gov. Till.
man opposed his brother?"
"True? Yes, as true as Gospel
aud the people of the Second Con.
gressional District know it."
"But he didn't fight him
openly?"
"Oh, no. Nor do I mean to say
that Governor Tillman in his heart
opposed his older and only brother
who has been like a father to him
What has been done was done fol
policy's sake. The Reform leaders
marked Uncle George for slaugh-
ter, and with or without Ben's con-
sent the order was passed along the
line. I believe Ben Tillman con-
sented, for all this deviltry was
Matched in a meeting at the Exec
utive mansion. over which Gov
ernor Tillman presided. The loyal
Irby placed the unsheathed dagger
in the Governors hands, who,
when a panorama of political
glory was pictured to him, wavered
between love for his brother and
sdntv' TO his movement. The latter
triumphed, and he sent the gleam-
ing blade hilt deep into the breast
of his only brother, who aursed
him in childhood, and in after
years befriended him as only few
brothers would"
"Then you think Irby had a
hand in it?"
II know it. Irby is a sort of
pickaninny Walpole. He has the
treachery of that great English
man and none of his brain. Irby
thinks he is cunning, but his craft
is the ostrich kind. He fools no
body and only mi sleads himself.
It was this man who executed the
Tillman-Talbert combination"
