Struck q Snag.

The State board of pensions has struck
a snsg as to the construction ofthe pension
law which leaves everything at a stand
still for the present so far rs the final
payment of the pensions Is concerned.
Nothing further can be done until the
other members of the board, Messrs.
Tompkins and Barber, return, and the
attorney generals Office CONSTITUTES the
pension act. 1t Is a question under the
terms of the act whether those who were
members of the First, Second, Third and
Fourth Reserve corps, South Carolina
Volunteers are enlisted to draw pensions.
Some of these men, and many OF them
nave filed applications for pensions, were
c.lled out on guard duty at various times,
out generally returned to their homes In
a few days. Others were held 10 reserve,
but saw no service at all. The act say
that those who were in the service Of the
State or Of the Confederate States are
entitled to pensions. The stumbling
block is as to what constitutes ''service''
under the act.- Columbia State.

Sheep on the SeabOard.

The Southern Planter urges that every
Southern farmer should purchase q few
ewes in the late summer and early fall
months, and give the sheep raising and
wool growing industry a fair trial, and
in support of its advice prints some infor-
nation which should interest South Car
DINA farmers.
Virginia, it says, has only about 400 600
sheep, while England on an area very
little larger, and supporting 40 000,0 900
population, has over 100000 sheep, or
nearly as many as there are in all the
United States, which have 100000 for
70, 900, 900 people. The English farmers
have just harvested" e crop Of 10000, 600
lambs, worth, at the average of so pounds.
from S6 to So apiece. This means that
the crop, which is harvested before any
other crops are grown, is worth S6O,tOO,-
600 at the least. Virginia and the neigh
boring Southern States could raise that
crop as readily as England, and 1t would
represent the equal in value of q crop of
over a million bales of good cotton. If
all Southern farmers will not 60 into the
industry, however, those who will should
fiud it just as profitable to them. The
Planter says:
"rhe conditions are infinitely more
favorable for success here than in England,
and while the money returned would not
be so large, yet at present prices Of 81 to
SIS per lamb Of so pounds weight, the re-
turn would be equally as profitable to
the farmers, from the much lower value
of the land and the much less cost Of feed
ing the ewes and lambs. We ought TO
have in Virginia at least ten times as
many sheep as we now have, and the
same applies to North Carolina, where
the whole number at present is very lit
tie mon; than 100000. There is not in
the whole world Two similar areas Of
country so we'll adapted by climate and
natural conditions as Virginia and North
Carolina to become great centres OF sheep
husbandry."
Except South Carolina and Georgia.
Sheep have to be sheltered and fed for
weeks at a time in winter in Virginia,
or the thermometer Is feeling for zero.
Such conditions never obtain here. Our
winters are comparatively mild and sheep
can take care of themselves with but lit
tie attention from their owners. There
are flocks of thousands in the piney woods
of Georgia, which are estimated to cost
about Is cents per head per annum.
There are flocks of scores and hundreds
in South Carolina that cost but little more,
If any more. The only cost of raising
sheep in this part of the country, indeed,
is the cost Of killing the dogs, eagles and
wild cats which affect q mutton diet, so
we are assured by experienced farmers.
really ought to raise more sheep, and
if the shepherds of. the Northern, Middle
and Western States could be made to
understand the facilities and opportunities
for their business in this region they
would not lose q day in coming here to
rails @ them. There is no more comfortable
and profitable Industry in the South when
it is conducted Under fairly Intelligent
dlrectjon.-NsWs and Courier.

FORT SCHUYLER. N. Y, July Z, 1896
EDITOR lNTELL1GENcER: I wrote the
Adiutant and Inspector General of South
Carolina in July of last year, asking
whether or not his office contained any
record Of Capt. j jones, who is sup
posed to have commanded . troop of G. s.
cavalry during the late war, and received a
letter from HIM stating that the matter
would be looked up. but not having heard
any more on the subject, I have the honor
to request, in behalf Of Col. Crosby, of
New York city, who commanded q regi.
uent of United States troops during the
early part OF the war, that you give this
space ia your paper. The Colouel has in
nj. possession q sword with the letters -.
J Us G" engraved on the hilt, and it is
certain that the troop corr mander's name
was Jones; and if the officer or any of his
family could be traced, it would afford the
Colonel great pleasure to return the blade
to Its original owner.
III could learn from what part of the
State Capt. Jones entsred the q. 3. service
[ might obtain from the County officials
something concerning him or his family
aud any information will be gladly re.
ceived. Very respectfully,

A great many Of the leading newspa-
pers in the North and East have come
out squarely against the platform adopt
ed by the Chicago Convention and say
they will not support it. This is due to
the silver plank. The outcome of this
may mean that a gold ticket may be put
in the field, running under the Demo-
cratic colors. Henry Watterson of the
Louisville Courier-Journal telegraphed
his paper from Switzerland that another
ticket Is their only hope. He adds. mo
compromise with dishonor. Stand firm"
This action on the part of the goldites
cannot but help the Democrats, and it
may lead to an overwhelming victory
for Bryan in November.
