COMPANIONS IN MISERY.
Cnder Circumstances It Made No
Difference to Her.

A we'll known New Yorker tells q I
story amusingly illustrative Of the
horrors of nal de mer. This gentle
man, according to his OWE account,
was coming from Southampton on
one of the big liners. Although the
skv was clear and the weather warm.
a somewhat tempestuous sea had oc-
,,sioned more than the usual
amount OF seasickness among; the
messengers. AS the New Yorker
paced the deck one afternoon ne
observed a lady reclining in q steam
er chair, and the unearthly pallor: OF
her face and the hopeless languor OF
her manner indicated that she had
reached that state Of collapse mark
ing the extreme limit OF seasickness.
Touched by this piteous spectacle.
the New Yorker approached the poor
creature and in his most conpassion-
ate tone asked: Madam, can ! be OF
any service to you?'
She moved her head feebly and
answered: "No, 7 thank you-noth-
ing at all"
"But your husband, madam, said
the New Yorker, indicating a gentle.
man lying with his head In the lady,s
lap, "shall 1 not bring something to
revive him?"
The lady again moved her head
feebly, gave a glance of utter indi1-
ference Ia the direction OF the man
at her feet, and then murmured
family:
THANK you, sir, but he is not my.
husband. I don't know who be Is. :

"The late Judge J. I. Clarke

"He said that certain man was

about the right to challenge, and
evidently he felt that the more chal-

"I am going to take the liberty OF

Is now 60 near its close. / think it
quite likely that you are congratulate
Ing yourself. though others are not,
on the nearness OF the conclusion Of
your ofacisl labors. Such, think, is
apt to be the feeling Of the faithful
official, who has borne official respoD.
sibilities for four years.
Permit me to add that regard
your success as governor as the more
remarkable as well as creditab.e FROM
the fact that you had no previous ex-
perience in official life.
II am extremely glad that you have
allowed yourself to be made preaident
of the recently organized immigration
society. In that capacity I am sure
you can do large service for the pub
Lie. I congratulate you also on the
SUCCESS Of your commissioner Of tmmi.
grafton, Mr. Watson. he has cor
tsinly done what no one before him
has been able to do, namely, start q
tide OF immigration directly to South
Carolina and the South-an event, j
hope and trust, OF large influence fol
good to the whole South.
Whenever you can conveniently Dc
80, please give Mr.. Watson my cen
gratulsttons. though I have no per.
sonal az suaiptance with him. My In
teresu iu all things In your state is al
ways keen and particularly 80 in this

Upland Long Staple Cotton.

Mr.. W. W. Watson OF Batesburg,
who has been doing some exrerimen
tai farming, has received % cents .
pound Tor shipment OF upland long
staple cotton sold to Whaley e Rl7ers
OF Charleston, s22044 tor two bales
OF cotton. Mr.. Watson Is 30 much
pleased with the yield and sale Of this
variety OF cotton he expects to plant
probably 40 acres IL this long staple
cotton next year. Compared with
the yield OF ordinary short staple this
year the proportion OF lint was just
as good OF better. he thinks every
farmer should plant not less than
half OF his crop In an improved varie-
ty OF long staple cotton, This would
insure better and more uniform
prices Of both long and short staples.

Gated and brought to the barracks at

wish, through the medium OF your
