there were number papers that were

- There were about $4,000 people in
Louisville last week in attendance
upon the tenth annual reunion of the
United Confederate veterans. The re-
union was, for the most part, harmon
ous but there was one exciting in
cident. At the annual reunion of the
Army of the Potomac at Fredericksburg,
a few days ago, General Sickles, the
orator of the occasion, extended a
friendly greeting to the veterans of
the Confederacy, and on last Friday,
w. H. Burgwyn, of North Carolina,
offered resolution reciprocating their
greeting. The question was upon the
adoption of the resolution. General
Gordon ruled that the yeas had it,
although the vote had not been gen.
eral. There was protest, and, for an
hour, more or less, uproar. The mat
ter was finally settled by the adoption
of the resolution. The next meeting of
the convention is to be held at Men,
phis, Tennessee, in 1901.

AUCTION SALES.

There was but small attendance
upon the auction sales last Monday,
salesday for June, presumably because
there was no especial promise of great
bargains in the land to be offered. The
sales were by the clerk under fore,
closure and for partition, and the sher-
if, under tax execution.
By the clerk:
In the case of Sarah F. Gist, admin
istratrix, vs.. James Mcknight and
others, a lot of one-third of an acre on
California street in Yorkville. Bought
by J. S. Brice, attorney, for $35. Also
in the same case, parcel of land on
the Pinckney road in the town OF
Yorkville. Bought by ]. S. Brice fol
$40.
In the case of Lena c. Campbell
plaintiff, vs.. w. S. Forbes, defendant
tract of 100 acres in Bullock's Greek
township. Bought by G. E. Spencer
attorney, for $40.
In the case of H. B. Thompson vs.
Mary Lillian Thompson and others, q
tract of 70 acres on Kings Creek d
tract of so acres, known as tract No. 2
of the Westmoreland lands; and a tract
of $50 acres, adjoining the lands of B.
F. White and others. All three tracts
were bought by c. E. Spencer, attor'
ney, the first for $125 and the other
two for 500 each.
The property advertised in the case
of B. F. Scoggins vs. S. w. Mitchell,
was not sold.
BY the Sheriff:
A tract of 224 acres in Kings Noun.
tain township, levied on as the prop
erty of Joseph Thornburg to satisfy a
tax execution. Bought by w. R.
Lowry for $50.
The tax penalties and cost in this
case amounted to $19.46. The first bid
was for that amount, and slowly a dol.
lar or two at time the bidding ran
up to the amount indicated. After
the property was sold, it developed
that the land is we'll timbered, and
good judges say it is quite bargain
even at So an acre.

- The Port Royal people are very
sore over the proposed removal of the
navy yard from that place to Charles
ton. AS matter of fact, it is difficult
to deny that the natural advantages Of
Port Royal are unquestionable. The
water there is as deep as is necessary
There have been claims to the contra.
ry ; but the correctness of these claims
are very questionable. The water at
Charleston is not yet deep enough
but by additional heavy appropriations
that trouble can be corrected. Ac.
cordiug to the Port Royal people, the
real cause of the change from Port
Royal to Charleston is the alleged so.
cial advantages of the latter city. On
account of the lack of sufficient social
advantages at Port Royal, naval Off
GERS have from the first been doing
everything in their power to make
prejudice against that place.

IN SOUTH AFRICA.
Looks as If There May be One More Desper
ate Fight.

Looks as IL There May be One More Desper
ate Fight.
Although the dispatches are not
sufficiently clear to indicate the exact
nature of present operations, there is
every reason to believe that important
events are now taking place in the
neighborhood of Pretoria.
1t was reported last Friday that the
British had already entered Pretoria
but it afterward developed that this
was a mistake. There is practically
no authentic information from the
vicinity since despatch that was sent
by Lord Roberts from Johannesburg
on last Thursday.
When the British entered Johannes
burg, there followed great consterna.
ton and confusion in Pretoria. There
was a conflict between the war and
peace parties as to whether the strug'
gle should be prolonged, and at first ii
appeared as if the peace party was
successful but since it develops that
this is not quite so certain.
According to late reports, it appears
that President Kruger and his ad.
visers are now installed at Lydenberg
between Pretoria and the Portuguese
frontier, with the Tranvaal war chest,
consisting of not less than $4,000, 600
in gold. They are in position
to direct operations to the last mo.
ment, and then escape in safety into
Portugese territory.
The main Boer army, not less than
5000 or 10000 strong, is supposed to
be still in the neighborhood of Pre-.
toria but just exactly where is not
known. There are also hints as to an
intention to try to carry out some for,
lorn hope, some last desperate plan,
the nature of which is not known, and
it is possible that the dearth of news
during the past few days indicates that
something of the kind is now going on
but from the nature of the case all is
speculation. The public is not likely
to get satisfactory news until General
Roberts is ready to allow it to come
out.

the levy carried but those who oppos

granted it. He said that the consti,

MEANS GRASS.

Only few years back Means grass
was generally as much of terror to
the farmers of this section as is wire
grass now; but recent experiences OF
Intelligent farmers have occasioned
very decided change of opinion on the
subject.
Not long ago, prominent gentle
man who owned considerable tract OF
land on Catawba river, recited this
experience in the presence of the re.
porter
"My river bottoms were as fine land
as you ever saw, lying as level as a
barn floor, as loose as a sandbank, as
fertile as muck heap and easily good
for anywhere between 80 and rs bush.
els of corn to the acre. knew Means
grass by general reputation only, and
when it began to make its appearances
was very much alarmed. I trie9to
fight it at first but it gradually drove
me back from the river bank until it
had taken the whole bottom. Then
1 began to cut it for hay; but after
two or three years it began to die out
and would not grow any more"
The reporter repeated this experience
one day last week to Mr.. G. H. Smith,
who is we'll up on the Means grass
question, and Mr.. Smith kindly gave
bit of his own experience that may
prove of interest. Here is the way he
put it
GAS you know, have been working
with Means grass for quite awhile,
and have had good success with it.
My experience is that if you do not
attempt to make any use of it, it will
stay on a piece of rich land almost
indefinitely but if it is hay you want,
you're got to be careful with your
management. The grass will continue
to grow from the roots for about three
years, and it will not do much good
after that period. In fact, it will die
out. Pasturing will also kill it it in
three years. The best way of per.
petuating the crop is to let what
would be the last cutting 60 to seed
every year, and especially the third
year. You do not necessarily have to
lose the hay even of the last cutting.
The seed natures about the time the
hay is ready to cut, and by waiting a
few days longer the hay can be cut in
pretty good condition with the seed,
or enough of them, knocked out for
another crop"
Incidentally Mr.. Smith remarked
that his Means grass patches are not
doing so we'll this year as formerly.
They seem to have been injured by
the freezing weather of the winter.
In the case of one or two patches that
he intended to leave for hay, he has
found it more desirable to break up the
ground and plant in corn.
All of the farmers who have more
or less experience with Means grass,
and with whom the reporter has talk
ed from time to time, say that Means
