ing on the election says:
Evans is undoubtedly elected Cover
nor OF South Carolina, despite the COM
bination of Republicans aud lpdepeo-
dents. His majority will be some
where between 10000 aud 80, 900.
probably much nearer the latter than
the former. OF the Conservative coun-
ties, Sumter is the only one which
stood up to it's primary pledge. All
honor to the men Of Sumter County !!
They know what political honesty is
and have proven their possession Of it.
Had the other Conservative counties
acted as Sumter did. Pope would not
have had the support of eorporal's
guard of white men, As it is, ma.
jority Of the votes cast for Pope were
cast by negroes"
This is probably inspired from bead
quarters, aud may indicate that the
Reform leaders are thoroughly satisfied
that Sumter County kept the pledges
made at the primary. Iftbia surmise
be correct, Scarborough aad Stuckey

Offices which they were selected to fill

boiled. This, the SWEET CAssAvA, is
described as having the leaves parted
and the root of longer shape than the
common or bitter Cassava, and much
smaller, only about six ounces in
weight; but other descriptions repre-.
sent the sweet Cassava as having roots
quite equal in size to the bitter. The
manioc is easily propagated by cuttings
of the stem, and is of rapid growth,
attaining maturity in six months. The
produce is at least six times that OF
wheat"
1t is the latter species that MIR. Spanu
has cultivated, and the specimen We
have is proof that the Sweet Cassava
produces roots exceeding six ounces 10
weight. Mr. Spann says that some of
the roots he raised this year have
weighed about twelve pounds. He
finds the Cassava very welcome addi-
tiop to bis bill of fare. Hogs snd all
kind of stock thrive on the roots which
they eat greedily. and the best recon :
mendation Of all, the plant is remarkably
productive and is easily cultivated.
We do not believe that Cassava will
prove to be the philosopher r'ss,one to con-
vert our sand hills into heaps Of gold,
but it will prove a welcome addition to
the list Of our productions and will aid
our farmers to live at home and fare

poiuts 10 the State we have not the
slightest doubt, but We do entertain
great doubt as to whether the fraud
had any effect on the result of the Cub
eroatorial and Legislative elections.
Evans vas undoubtedly elected by a
safe majority. aud so we're sufficient
number Of the members of the Legisla-
ture to insure Tillman's election to the
Senate. Hence we regard il as abso-
lute folly to contest these elections,
with any expectation of altering the re-.
sult. It would not be bad idea to
prove to the world the rascality of the
ring in it's efforts to make assured sue
cess doubly certain and this would be
all that could be accomplished.
The Constitutional Convention was
undoubtedly defeated as far as ballots
could defeat it, but. as lrby has said,
"Whas are you going to do about it?"
We see 90 way to defeat the purpose OF
the ring. In Sumter County We do
nos believe there are any serious ground
for charges of fraud. There may have
been partisansbip that may have had
some small effect upon the result Of the
election, but we do not believe that
there was any serious effort on the part
of the ring to alter the vote Of Che
county to suit the design Of the ring,
We are. of this opinion. for a single
reason, which is sufficient. The status
Of Sumter County is too we'll known for
any considerable fraud to be committed
without detection. The risks we're SO
great that the game was not worth the
candle.
There has been little, out very lit
tie, said about the Conservative faction
not redeeming, in full, :he pledges
made at the primary. 1t is-the better
so. for when broken pledges are in
question all reformers are referred to
the vote for the County officers. the

specimen Of Sweet Cassava which he
grew on his place He obtained cut

The plant is described in the 1nter-

formerly known as jatropha m,cnihat,
aud as .jamlpha maanshat, a large half
shrubby plant Of the natural order
euphorbracee, a native of tropical
America, and much cultivated there.
It is nov also extensively cultivated in
Africa, and has been introduced into
other tropical countries. The plant
grows in bushy form, with stems
usually six to eight feet high. but some
times much more. The stems are
white. brittle aud have very large
pitb; the branches are crooked. The
leaves are near che extremities of the
branches, large, deeply 7-parted. The
roots are very large, turuip-like, some
times weighing 80 pounds, from three
to eight growing in a cluster, usually
from a foot to two feet long. In COM
mon with other parts of the plant, they
contain milky juice, so poisonous as
to cause death in few minutes but
as this is owing to the acrid presence of
bydrocyanic acid, which is quickly dis
sipated BY heat, the juice inspissatcd BY
