aov. McswEENEy'S LETTER.

@OV. McSWEENEY ) LITTER.
Gov. McSweeney promptly wrote
Col. Blanding me following letter:
Columbia, April II, 1890.
Col. j. D. Blsnding, Sumter, s. G.
Dear Sir: It gives me great pleas
ure to acknowledge receipt Of your es-
teened favor Of the 9th, turning over
TO the State in perpetuity one Of the
flags carried by the Palmetto regiment
in the war with Mexico. I shall see
that it Is placed in the archives re.
served for such historic relics; and, TO-
gether with the interesting his-ory
which your letter gives Of this tattered
and worn banner, have them put In
such position that they may stand as ;
memorial to the valor and hsroism Of
the sons Of Carolina who followed this
Esq to victory in so many hard fought
battles Of the Mexican war; and also ss
constant reminder to those who enjoy
the same birthright, "that truth, cour-
age ana patriotism endure forever"
The regiment that bore this flag won
honor and distinction, in every battle,
FOX the American army in its march
from Vera Cruz to the City of Mexico,
and in this they were but true to the
instincts Of their birth" It vas this
regiment that led the charge against
the compact front Of the enemy when
other regiments had been called upon
By Gen. Shields and declined to volun-
teer on account Of the dangerous and
hazardous undertaking. When Col.
Butler was asked If his regiment vas
willing to clinch the victory, his
prompt and characteristic reply was,
''Yes, every man Of them, and to the
death" They fell upon the enemy
like a tornado and the victozy was
won.
We honor ourselves in honoring the
bravery and patriotism of the noble
sons Of Carolina who followed this
banner.
But the feS Of the members of this
noble band survive, and they are scst-
tered wide: bat, wherever they may be,
it should be a pleasing thought to them
to know that they and their comrsdes
who have already answered the final
roll call and heard the last tattoo, are
held in such loving remembrance
By the sons and daughters Of their ma.
tive State. My p1ayei is that those of
this grand old regiment who still sur.
viye may have, in their declining years,
the beaedictions Of 3 kind and tender
Providence, as they have the hearty
good will Of every true and patriotic
citizen Of the State.
It is also with pleasure that give
permission, in behalf Of the State, to
place the jackson vase" in the legis-
lative library, and it shall be properly
cared for and disposed of as directed
by the Survivors association. ! am
sure, I voice the sentiment Of the peo-
pie Of South Carolina when I express
to you my appreciation Of the generous
| and patriotic spirit which prompts you
to give your contingent right Of proper.

Next tn the Lowest Bidder,

"Said contract to go to the next to
he lowest bidder" is the way that a
Iccal building contractor would have
HE closing sentence read in advertise
ments for bids on any particular job.
Willis speaking of the matter recently
Ibis same contractor said that if the
ruth We're known nine out of ten of
the lowest bids made are made through
mistake in the calculations of the
Bidder.
IF the contractor who gets the job
was aware that his bid is Oftentimes
81 900 below that of the one next above
MIN, and this on a comparatively small
lob, he would Immediately institute a
search and find where he had made
the mistake, thus having an Opportu-
nifty of failing to qualify to complete
HE job. This privilege is often denied
HE bidder, however, and he gets well
along with his work before the fact
dawns upon him that he is on a losing
Venture. 1t is then too late to go back
on the job, and the result is that the
party who is doing the building and
The contractors also are losers, and this
Because of the natural inclination of

lose any more than he is absolutely
obliged to in order to get out on the
bad deal.
These mistakes are not only disas-
nous to the parties Immediately con-
cerned, but to the trade in general, as
by the error of the unlucky bidder an
other worthy contractor is unable to
get the work at reasonable figures.
Give the work to the next to the low

eral rule."-Omaha rld-Herald.

The Women's Health Protectiv

The Women's Health Protective
societies of the various cities, which
have worked effectively against ex-
pectoration in public places, and
against the depositing of garbage on
the streets, would do we'll to start a
crusade against trailing skirts. Not
only are they incompatible with per-
sonal cleanliness, but they are dan
gerous conveyers Of disease. A bac-
terioligist asked a woman, who did
not usually have to go on very dirty
streets, if he might make an expert
ment on one of her skirts. It was
comparatively new one and received
daily brushing. He found on part of
the skirt binding at the hem the fol-
lowing small menagerie: Two hun

THE WEAVING OF PIGS.

A common practice has been to al
low the pigs to suck until they are six
weeks old, and then they are sudden
ly weaned, and one or two pigs are
left to keep the sow's udder from in
fiamation. That course has tenden-
cy to stunt the pigs taken away; and
when a pig is once stunted in it's
growth it hardly ever RECEIVERS what
it lost. Pigs should be left to suck
not less than eight weeks. They
should have learned to eat with their
mother. By throwing a handful on a
clean place on the floor, when the pigs
are three weeks old, they will begin
to pick it up.
Then there should be a low and
shallow trough in a part of the pen
partitioned off for them, from which
they can obtain warmed skim milk
mixed with little ground grain or
shorts. If the young pigs can be
turned out with their mother on a
clover field before they are weaned
they will learn to eat it readily. They
should be given a chance to take
plenty of exercise even before they
go out to clover. From the time they
are weaned a moderate supply of
skim milk, buttermilk and green
clover or similar feed will promote
the growth of muscles, which becomes
lean flesh.

OUR FARMERS.
ADVANTAGES OF FARM LIFE.

It is very proper that the farmer
take time to look about and consider
some of the advantages that make
farm life desirable and the most pleas
ing of all occupations. Eve can make
ourselves miserable in any position in
life if we think only Of it's hardships
and perplexities, and, on the other
hand, the stream of life can be made
to flow quite smoothly if we look upon
the bright side instead of all the time
anticipating misfortunes that may
overtake US, which we imagine await
us in the future. Farm life has it's ad-
vantages over all other occupations
and it is we'll to consider them as we
go along.
One of the advantages of farm life,
says Farmers Guide, is it's healthful-
ness. StatisticsIshow that the farm
er's life is the most healthful. Forty
per cent. ofssfarmers reach the age of
seventy years, against thirty-fv per
cent. among merchants, thirty three
among soldiers,a. and twenty nine
y
amonglphysicians.
There is Eless Eof that worry that
shortens life than in almost any other
occupation. True enough the farmer
has to work hard, and his business is
at the mercy of the destructive ele-
ments, the ravages of insects, and the
manipulation of professional gamblers
who abnormalize markets; but take
the merchant, the banker, the teacher,
the minister, or any other class, and
it will be found that the rank and file
work hard, and have their world of
cares also. There are few in all the
callings who work but little and draw
big pay, but these are exceptions and
should not be taken as standards.
A very large per cent. of the mer-
chants fail. The fact of statistics of
this country, it takes nerve to embark
in the mercantile business, if a man
goes in wide awake.
What is causing more uneasines in
this country than anything else is the
mad scramble for money. There is
too much sham in business. Too
many people are posing as wellto do,
while they are on the brink of finan-
c1al ruin. The inordinate desire for
money causes many people to over
reach. They get in debt. They be-
come the servants of the money lender
and happiness flies away. The nation,
all the states, and large portion of
the cities are in debt. No wonder
there is SO much restlessness.
The farmers who own their farms
and pay as they go are the most in
dependent people on earth, and, as
rule, that class are not SO restless. IF
the rising generation of farm boys
could see things as they really are,
they might be willing to start on a
small scale and extend their borders
as they are able. The boy should not
expect to start in life as s'well fixed''
as his father is after working life
time. Farm life has more sunshine,
balmy breezes, health, bird songs,
luscious fruit, pure water and air,
wholesome food, than any other, and
if the farmer is out of debt and has a
clear conscience, he has less anxiety
than people of any other calling.

Preserved Cherries Stone the
cherries, saving all the juice. Weigh,
and to each pound allow three-quart
ers of a pound of sugar, unless the
cherries are very sour, when pound
will be required. Put the cherries
into the preserving kettle, covering
with the sugar, and stand aside for
three or four hours. Then bring to a
boil, skim, and simmer till the cherries
are clear. Pour into the jars, and
seal.
Gooseberry Jam.-Stem the goose
berries. To every pound of fruit al
low one pound of sugar. Put the
gooseberries into the preserving ket
tie, just covering with cold water.
After they are we'll boiled to pieces,
add the sugar, and cook slowly, stir
ring often for half an hour. Put into
jars or tumblers, and stand aside to
cool. When cold cover with paper.
Currant Jelly.-Bruise and squeeze
the currants until all the juice is out
of them, then strain through flannel,
and put the juice on to boil for fifteen
minutes. Strain again, measure, and
allow the same measure of sugar.
Bring the juice to boiling again, and
as soon as it begins to thicken on the
pan, remove from fire, add the sugar
quickly, stir we'll and remove the
scum, then turn at once into the
glasses. Currants should be gathered
on clear dry day, and before they
are fully ripe.
Gooseberry Pie. Remove the
blossoms and stems from one pint of
green gooseberries and stew slowly
in porcelain kettle with very little
water until they break. Sweeten to
taste and bake between two crusts.
Half cup of seedless raisins with
pint of gooseberries gives delicious
flavor.
Russian Tea.-Put two teaspoons of
tea into a fine strainer, pour half
cup of boiling water through to
cleanse the grounds; then turn the
grounds into the scalded teapot, pour
on one pint Of freshly boiling water.
Keep hot for five minutes. Put two
cubes of sugar and one slice of lemon
into the tumblers, half filed with
broken ice. Pour on the tea and
serve. Never let the tea leaves re-
main in the tea. If desired cold, pour
it from the grounds as soon as steep
ed.
Burberry Pudding. - Stew one
quart of blueberries in one cup of
water, until soft. Add half a cup of
sugar and mash them we'll until all
broken. Then turn into coarse cheese
cloth and squeeze out all the juice.
Remove the crust from white bread.
Vienna bread is the best Cut the in
side into small, thin pieces, and put
layer of it into a bowl or earthen
mould. Moisten the bread with the
hot berry syrup, putting on as much
as the bread will absorb. Add more
bread and syrup until all are used.
Set it away to cool. Turn out and
serve with cream.
