[CONTINUED FROM LAST WEEK.]
JAMES EDWARD HENRY.
For many years Major Ilenry
was a distinguished leading member
of tho llouso of Representa
tives of South Carolina, from the
District of Spartanburg. lie was
ono of the most proininont members
of the Bar on the Western
Circuit, and -possessed a most lucrative
practice. He was a man
of rare talents and genins, selfmade
and self educated. As a
writer of Action ho gave on mis
takable evidence ol bis talents and
ability in "Tbo Tales of the Packolott
" and 44 Myra Cunninghaiu."
His great succcsg at the Bar show
ed hie legal attainments and devotion
to hiy profession. But ho was
at the same time fond of polite literature,
and sometimes even courted
the Muses.
'Itt44 The Bench and Bar of South
Carolina," toy Jodgo O'Neall, there
ia a long biographical sketch of Ma?
jor Henry, written partly by the
Chief Justice aud in part by the
lie v. Mr.Landrnm. He was born
in Province, lihode Island, in

where ho rdtnained several years,
and. then came to Spartanburg,
Sonrti'UaroUna, fir thtvpiwpose of
engaging in > tba *4 Woaver Factory."
But he wot prevailed upon
to take ehargd of a School in the
neighborhood of the factory, where
he remained for gov oral years, and
then commenced the study of law
under William Hnnt, Esquire.?
He was admitted to the Bar In
1821, and formed a partnership
with Col. Patillo Fariow. When
I first;became acquainted with
Majdr H6pi7 he was practicing
law at Spartanburg, in partnership
with Jwdgo Earle, and I know
the Judge had a very high opinion
of him as a lawyer and a gen
tlemau. * * - I <i ? . j I M il?
Aa a boon companion Major

always in good spirits, full of wit
and humor, talkod well, and was

they were elected. They all de

knew what each one would have
said, and would, for the gratification
of the comjiany, rehearse their
several speeches, together with bis
own: Thereupon, ho commenced
with the speech of Gov. Adams,
who was then General ?f Cavalry,
and bad been an old lino Whig.
In succession hd made a' speech
for each one of the other candidates,
and eondaded with his own.
The^ were inimitable specimens
of his wit and hurhof1, and never |
qrcrTTTcftnpwyw gentlemen cn
joy an exhortation with more rapturous
glee.
In the argument ol a crim. con.
case at Spartaiiburg, Major Henry
took occasion, most wittily and
humorously, to allude to Potiphar's
wife. The senior counsel
on tho other side, who was taking
notes of the Major's argument,
and uot being well versed in Biblical
history, enquired of his junior
sitting by him, u Whero that
case of Poat^fers wifo was reported
I" The junior counsel, who was
fresh from his classics, said " he
thought he had read it in the Greek
Testament !" The ennuiry and
answer were overheard by other
members of tho Bar, and produced
a burst of laughter. This gave
the Major an opportunity of con
tinning his hutnorons remarks, to
the great amusement of the Court
and sjwctRtors.
In the latter part of his lifo Major
Ilcnry joined tho Methodist
Church, and became sincerely pious.
lie told me he found it hard
to break himself of the bad habit
ho had contracted of cursing un
der sudden impulse and excitement.
Shortly after he joined tho
/~m.~ l. 1. - l. - J _ .? ? -
vvijuiuii no nuiHiou u window to
look out. when tlio sash fell on his
head. He involuntarily exclaimed
" Damn the window." Judge
Earle told me that ho returned
from Columbia in the stage with
Major Henry and his partner, Major
Deane, some time after thoy
had both attached themselves to
tho Church. Henry enquired of
Deane if he had lost none of his
piety in Columbia, and whether
he was as zealous in tho cause of
religion as ho was before he left
homo. Major Doano replied that
ho had experienced no change
whatever in hia religious feelings,
and begged to know whv thelites
tion was asked him. Honry said
he himself did not feel as much
zeal in religion as when ho left
home; that meeting his old friends
in Columbia, and spending three or
four weeks with thein, had, he
must confess, demoralized him
very much, and made him neglect
his religious duties.
When I first became acquainted
with Major Henry he had just
been defeated for the Legislature,
and in Speaking of tho canvass,
he said ho was most unfortunate
_ . ! a * - i . ^ - -
in luuuuug iwo oi ujc most serious
charges that wore brought against
him, and which defeated iiia election.
I enquired how that was.
lie ropliod that botli of the charges
were true, and he could npt deny
either of them in his public speeches!
This somewhat excited my
curiosity, and I begged to know
what these accusations wero. lie
suid they accused him of being a
lawyer ! which was 'me, and they
charged him with being a Yankee!
and that also was the truth I
In the Legislature, every session,
Major Ilonry would submit a
string of resolutions, to bo referred
to the different committees, to enquire
and report as to the expediency
of legislating on the various
matters referred. These resolutions
generally embodied a good
deal of popular sentiment expressed
during the canvass. Some of
the Major's friends said to him
i that he had introdnccd his resolutions
for Thin com be, and if they
hould be favorably reported on
! ho wonld bav'e to vote against
them himself. 44 No." aaid lie.
,4not all of them?I think I could
vote for one half of them at loast."
I had, through life, a verv strong
and sincere fiieudwhip for. Major
Henry, and deeply regretted that
habit of iutemperance, Which car
ried him to an untimely grave,
and which was contracted in the
latter part of his life by his cordiality,
sociablln,/ ondlovo of friends
and company, lie otvoe said, to
mo that no one was in dangei of
being a drunkard if he only drank

Major Henry was appointed oue
of Chief Justice O'NeaU's aids
wheo lie was elected Major-Gone
ral. He soou resigned his commission,
(says his (Chief, in the hi
ographical sketch already alluded
to,),pod, trankly confessed that he
had po ipilitary talent at all. 1
onoo heard the Major wake this
acknowledgment in the Logisla

on game military bill, and apologized
bv saying that he professed
no military genius, pride, or ambition
in that line, lie had never
aspired even to be a Governor's
aid ! This was said immediately
after His Excellency, for the time
being, had appointed fifteen or
twenty members of the H0U60 on
his staff*. *''
The death of Major Henry was
a sad nffiictibn to his friends and
family. It was also a great loss to
his adopted District and State.
He was indeed, as the Chief Jus
tice said in his Bench and Bar,
u the child of genius." Ho had
given reputation to the Spartanburg
Bar, and position and influence
to the District in the Legisla
ttire. lie was the great advocate 1
of manufactures in Spartanburg,
and injured his fortune seriously
by it. IIis loss by the Bivingsville
Factory was very large.
At the meeting of the first Court
at Spartanburg after the death of
Major Ilenrv, I was requested to
draft suitablo resolutions by a
meeting of the Bar, and present
them to the Court. in doing so,
and addressing Ilia Honor Judge
Withers, I was affected to tears.
In attending to it at Laurens Court
the next week, Judgo Withers said
it was all over now, and Henry had
passed out of our minds I replied
to him that, so far as I was
c m'cerncd, it was a great mistake,
Major lieury hud been almost constantly
in mind ever since, and i
that I never could cease to remember
and regret htm, that the curly
friends of youth were far more endeared
to us than those of later
lifo. Henry was indeed a most
lovable man, warm hearted, generous,
disinterested, and public
spirited. IIis courage was as truo
as steel, and his firmness unconquerable.
But ho was as bitter
an enemy as ho was confiding in
friendship. In his early struggles
through poverty and obscurity
there was a family iniliienco which
attempted to crush hitn. lie said
to me once that the bare thought
of the possibility of his blood be
ing mingled with that of this family
in future ages rendered him
unhappy. But the Rev. Mr. Lan
drum states, in his sketch of Major
llenry, that, whilst on his death

Shall we Sell at own Price or that

With the products of the eArth,
produced by the labor of tljo fartner,
" t h o anomaly exists o f
the bbyer' coining ipto market,
and settinsr bis own Driee for tho
commodity be wants. He is himself
tbe collectQf of Information
concerning the crops of tbo world,
and this intormation is easily
tinged to suit his purposes. By a
simple and oft-repeated process of
over-estimating crops, prices are
kept low until the prod nets are
out of the hands ot the farmor,
who then can reap no profit from
tbe rise which so often takes place
just too late to benefit the producer.1'
It is calculated that the
cotton planters of the South alone
have lost, in thirty-four 3 ears, by
this system of overestimating 1
crops, the value of one and throe- t
fourths of an average crop, and
$375,000,000 in the la6t six years
alone, by fluctuations in prices '
which could not take place were ,
the seller as well informed as the
1 ?-?J - -
uujcr iu i^uru iu uie amount oi
the crop.
Mr. Pope Barrow, in tbe Southern
Farm and Home, bus collected
statistics of prices from which
ho deduces the fact that from
18G7 to the present tirno, u inid
dling cotton in Georgia markets
has averaged nearly as follows :
Three winter months . . . 19 5 G
Three Summer months . .24 3-10
"Thus, it will be seen that
thoBC gentlemen who have earned
a livelihood by purchasing cotton
Irotn us during the winter, and
selling the same the following
summer, have, upon the whole,
made a very handsome thing of
it. It becomes us now, after this
exhibition of comparative prices
of American cotton, to give this
matter a careful consideration.?
Ono thing is certain?that is, the
cotton planters will Bell their cotton
almost entirely in the full and
winter. 13y the first day of March
in each year the crop of the previous
one will havo passed out of
the hands of those who made it;
and if tilings aro managed in the
future as they havo been in the
past, the producer will continue to
lose tho three or four cents per
pound. It is quite impossible for
us who grow cotton under the
present system in the South ever
to be able as a body to hold our
cotton over uutil the following
spring or summer, to wait for the
flood-tide of prices. We are ob
liged to sell during tho winter.?
It being imposssihle, therefore,
for us to go to tho high prices,
they must be made to come to us,
after the time honored manner of
Mahomet and his mountain. If
wo wunt those additonal three and
a half cents to go into our pockets,
we must exercise the same energy,
intelligence, and good sense that
have been displayed by those who
havo heretofore pocketed it. Tho
key of the whole problem lies in

is they who count the bales,
who add up tho columns ol re~
ceipts ; it is they, in short, who
know all that is known upon the
subject, and we have seen that
they have uiado their knowledge

Pea* Better Than Clover.
A correspondent of an exchange
says : " I assert what X believe

all persons who have the soil, or
facilities for growing it to do so.?But
it is because-1 believe comparatively
few have these facilities,
and because l.know that peas
can be grown successfully on all
farms, that I recommend the cul
ti vat ion of the latter above that
of the former.
"The field pea cau be growu
successfully in every section,
and upon almost all soils
throughout the South. Clover
cannot. Peas are easier sown, are
Bure to germinate, grow faster,
and afford more protection to tho
land at the right time than clover.
Two crops can be growu yearly
on the same land in every South
ern State ; the seed required to
plant a given area costs less ; it is
as good a fertilizer as clover, and
makes as good winter provender
when properly cured. Bosides
the seed peas when gathered
oithcr green or dry, make an excellent
article of food for stock.

for fattening hogs; unsurpassed
as a green manure: and,
to crown all, it will grow on all
sorts of 6oil, and won't he long

avowed design of securing the
nomination of an honcBt Stato
ticket is iu accordance with a
pledge of Grant to support the
effort with all the power of the
Federal Administration. It is asserted
with great earnestness that,
unless the coining State Convention
accede to the demands of the

a thorough reform ticket will be
put in the field. Such a ticket
would receive the cordial support
