"Did you notice the man who just

reporter.
Eyes, what about him?" said the
reporter.
"How old would you take him to

"Oh, about thirty-fve, I guess"
"Well, you have made the same
mistake that many others have made.
That is Mr.. Geo Bradley, and he is

A few days later the reporter was

He seemed pleased, and in explaining
the reason for it, incidently told OF a

I was breaking up land for cotton in
the northern part Of the State, and
my plow stuck under large pine
root. Iloosed my plow and told my
three boys to have the root pulled up
by the time I came around again.
When I returned I found the root
still there, and thinking the boys
were not trying to get it up, 1 told
them to get out of the way and I
would pull it up myself.

The Bows Who Wore the Gray.

ASSoASsA W
Confederate Survivors and Lezlng-
ton Camp of the United Confederate
Veterans, met in the court house, at
this place, last Monday, to transact
the business for which they were
called together.
Every section of the county was
represented, and as one stood at the
door and glanced down the isles and
saw the gray haired and grizzly
bearded veterans assembled beneath
the roof of the temple Of justice, the
scenes of other days, when these
same men were in the spring time OF
their lives and responded to their
country's call with bouyant steps,
flashing eyes, and high spirits over
flowing with patriotic devotion to
their State and country. We stood
gazing upon these battle SCARED
veterans, nearly all of whom had lett
some member of their body upon q
field of pattle, and in memory was
carried back to scenes when the
bursting of shells, the rattle OF
musketry, the deep toned thunder OF
cannons belching forth fire, grape
and canister, the clash of sword as
steel met steel, the shouts of the
7ictors the curses of the vanquish, d.;
the groans of the wounded and the
dying, the sightless eyes OF the dead
as they turned heavenward as If in
search of that place where strife,
turmoil and bloodshed are unknown,
and the white winged angle of peace
overshadows the blessed land:
To US the scenes of other days
came vividly before US and We could
not help but recall the bloody fights
around Charleston, in the sacred
fields of Virginia, and the long tire
some marches through her fertile
vallys with bleeding feet, tattered
and torn garments, and starving
bodies, and on many hotly contested
battle grounds in other sections, and
with pathetic sadness we returned
from the past and remembered that
the cause for which these men gave
their. young manhood, their limbs
and their lives was a s'Lost Cause
and the bonnie blue flag which they
immortalized by sacrifice of blood
and devotion was furled; but thank
God no taint of hishonor attaches to
it which will cause the blush OF
shame to mantle over cheeks or cause
our children and our children's chill
dren to regret that we offered our all
upon that altar of our country.
Capt S. M. Roof, a one-armed vet
eran whose empty sleeve bears testi-
mony to his gallantry and fdility,
presided over the meeting and Capt.
M. D. Hartman, the faithful devoted
and enthusiastic member Of the Old
Goth, acted as Secretary:
The Survivors met in obedience to
the State pension law to elect two OF
their number, who with the Auditor
and Treasurer, will constitute the
Pension Board with q practicing
physician to be elected by the four
named above, who will be the fifth
member.
Rev. N. S. Younginer and Col. D.
T. Barre were appointed tellers.
The following were elected members
of the Board: Capt. J. H. Counts,
and DR.. S. A. Haltiwanger.
The Board will meet, according to
law, on the Goth day of April, to
organize when notice for the recep'
tion of application for pension will
be given through these columns.
There being no other business, the
Survivors adjourned.

work no hardship to all loaners and bankers
outside of great money centers.
The farmer, getting normal and compensat-
ing prices for his labor, wonld have, probably,
double what he now has to distribute, and all
kinds of business would begin to pick up, as
we'll. The failure of banks and business
houses would be checked. Bankers in rural
cities and villages will be correspondingly ben
Gifted. Deposits would largely increase, and
the normal incomes being restored, with the
assurance of continued prosperity, would i'm
part an impetus to wholesome enterprises that
the country has not enjoyed since the "vandal
spoliation system in 1873.
The great remedy lies in restoring the free
and unlimited coinage of gold and silver at 16
to I. Set this mighty industry once more on
its feet, and prosperity will again begin its
happy reign in America
If England and Europe continue to depress
the price of silver, we will invest the proceeds
of cur exports in silver bullion and COIN into
"I,2929" dollars, and with them pay our debts
in Germany and England, as stipulated in the
contract" And nothing but treaclrery to our
interests can or will seek to prevent this
Our honor, our national eXistence-nay, our
CIvILIzATIoN-must rest upon this bi-metallic
foundation, as the only alternative, of this
great financial question, which is now before
the American people, and demands immediate
decision.

NATHAN HIATT'S OPINIONS.

From every land under the sun there are re-
ports of social unrest and general vigilance,
laden with fearful anticipation. There is no
country to-day on the earth whose people can
lay their hands on their breasts and say all is
we'll. Not only in the United States, but all
other nations, the poor people are suffering,
caused by class legislation.
No man ever lived long enough to earn
million dollars. 1t is the 'ctissed' old Jews
the London money power-that are causing so
much trouble with so many great nations of
the earth.
There is only one remedy for all this and
the sooner it is applied the better it will be for
all classes of people except the moneyed aris-
tocracy in all nations of the earth. 1t is for
the people of the United States to cut off the
head of this old dragon-this London money
power that is located in this country.
Now, the question is, how can it be done?
BY direct legislation; by declaring ourselves an
independent nation of people; by declaring
that we will recognize but one kind of money
in the United States, which shall be coined on
paper, and secured by the government of the
United States, and we will have sound money.
No better money can circulate III this country.
"But," says one, eve are in such predica-
ment that it cannot be done. 1t would rob
millions at our people of their gold and silver
that they have honestly acquired" To settle
the question, let the government give its sound
paper money in exchange for gold and silver to
all persons who are loyal to the government
Then let the amount Of money and property
to each person be limited to onetenth of a
million.

free coinage of silver.
All other nations will soon follow our exam

old AGITATOR continue in its great and good
work for all time. The paper cannot be equal
ed in all this land for good work.

their pains for their trouble. Wall street could

Tune"Tramp, Tramp, Tramp. the Boys are Marching"
In the happy days gone by
When the government was run
For the people, by the people, every enc,
There was plenty in the land
There was work for every hand
There was freedom both for father and for son.
Chorus
Tramp, tramp, tramp, the boys are marching;
Cheer up, comrades every one;
For soon the time will come
When free silver will be won,
And none but the Shylocks then will mourn.
But the times have changed since then.
We need more free-silver men
We need workers for the home and laboring
Twas the gold-bug put us down,
And he rules us with frown,
And as he winks, so dances Uncle Sam.
Chorus.
We have mines of silver white;
We have mines of gold so bright
Both are good, and both had rights our debts
to pay;
But the gold now rules as king,
And premium soon will bring,
If we let the gold-bugs longer have their way.
Chorus
To protect our own loved land
Let us take strong, firm hand
For the rights of silver equal to the gold;
For it's truckled long enough
To Wall streets yellow stuff,
And the good twill bring has never half
been told.
Last Chorus
Work, work, work and work for silver.
Cheer up; soon the time will come
When gold will not have sway,
But free silver win the day,

After the American people have had their
settlement with the thieves-and may God
grant that they'll be more mercifu1 to Shylock
than he has been to the1n-they will establish

themselves.
All this is as clear as the sun at noon-dav to
those who read the alphabet of the stars
You ask how is it possible that there will be
no election in the electoral college?
Well, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio will all be
taken out of the Republican column and given
to reform candidate, with all the West; Geor-
gia, Alabama and Texas will go to the new
party, while all the other Southern states will
go Democratic. The Republicans will get

RESTORING PASTURES.


The maintenance Of pasture lands mas
become one Of the important problems
IN connection with farm management.
Our system Of close grazing, followed
by periods Of prolonged drought incvita-
bIy leads to weakened vitality OF grass
plonts, resulting in deficient stand and
reduced proluctiveness. One OF the
best plans Of renovation, says the Mas
sachusetts Plowman, is to harrow IN
some clover seed. From experiments
at the Iowa station II appeared tha'

pled TO blue grass pasture at the rate
OF 20 tons per acre increased the yield g
per cent, equivalent to i,7oo pounds o.
cured hay per acre
The addition OF 70 pounds OF grass
seed per mere, together with the dlscnp
and narrowing, increased the yield Of
grass $40 per cent or the equivalent OF
500 pounds Of hny per acre.
A top-drcssng Of liquid manure oo'
gallons to the acre, without grass o.
clover seed, increased the yield only 26.'
per cent.
The pasture used for the test wa
stated to be rather poor, shallow, gray
ely soil, with a fairly good naturn
stand Of grass.
The results show that clover see'
gave twice as much increase as gras
seed, and more than twice as much a
that produced by liquid manure.
