Tenants Unable to Pay Rent
Saluda Standard.

Saluda STANDARD.
"J. H. c." of Meeting Street
etches dreary picture of boil weevil
blight in that community. His de-
scription will fit portions of~Saluda
county. He says in the Edgefeld
Advertiser:
The cotton crop is almost a total
failure in and around this section.
Lands planted in cotton will not near
make rents promised the land lords,
and if they do not share the loss with
the tenants I don't see how any busi-
ness can 60 at all next year. We can't
see how people are to pay any obliga-
tions that they are due or even pay
the next taxes as they will have no.
thing to pay with. Of course, they
will have some corn, molasses, meat
and other eatables,, if it is not taken
from them, for what they ofe others,
but, it will be hard for the people to
even make crop if they have their
corn and feed stuff without some
other help 1 believe the people round
here made the greatest effort of their
lives to make a crop this year, and al
most without any source of help at
all. The awful pest, the boil weevil,
has destroyed the cotton almost en-
tirely, leaving one. and all helpless,
and at the mercy of those they owe.
Now, what is to be the outcome? We
will only have to wait and see. Our
people don't know how to proceed or
what to do. I know of lots Of faAms
rented for two bales of cotton that
will not get over FIVE or six hundred
pounds of seed cotton all told. Then
what can they do? 1t is calamity
that has come upon us, that no can
can help. Our people are down cast
and almost where they are ready to
surrender and give everything up. If
some aid or help some way does not
come along many will be down and
out. People are so blue that they are
getting almost black, and l hope some
way will be provided so they can go
on and pay their obligations later,
which those who are honest will sure
ly do when they can. They cannot
do it now under existing circumstan-
es.

AN OLD LETTER HERE
BRINGS UP THE PAST
President of the Late Confederacy
Wrote the Late Col. Schumpert
Beautiful and Touching Letter

Mrs. O. L. Schumpert has handed
The Herald and News the following,
which will be of interest to our ma
ny readers:
Beauvoir, Harrison County, Miss.
9Th March, 1880.
To O. L. Schumpert, Newberry, S. c.
South Carolina Soldiers of the Con-
federacy.
My Friends:
With grateful emotion have read
your cordial invitation to visit you
in your peaceful home at Newberry.
No greater consolation could have
been offered to me for all we have in
common suffered, and lost, than such
expressions of regard and esteem ad-
dressed to me by men whose deeds
have illustrated the heroic fame of the
Palmetto State.
It would indeed be a great JOY to
me to receive the welcome you ten
der, but circumstances, not within my
control, deny me the pleasure Of be-
ing with you at the time stated.
For cause not less just, and l
think, more demonstrable than that
of your Revolutionary Fathers, you
bore privations, encountered dangers,
and performed feats which, when his
tory shall truly record them, Will
make your children, and your chill
dren's children, proud of their lin
cage.
The long list of signatures to your
invitation is to me much prized
treasure, and will be preserved for
the few days which remain to ME.
Be assured, gentlemen, partakers
with me in the hopes of the past, and
the sorrow with which We saw them
d.sastrouSly crushed, brethren OF
creed not, Jess sacred in defeat than
in history, / tender to you fraternally
the regard with which
l am faithfully,
Jefferson Davis.
