T?'?S. J. ADAMS, EDITOR WEDNESDAY, NOV. 20, 1895. The Convention has raised the school tax from two mille to three ? mille. While the Louisiana sugar plan ters are pouring their, waste mo lasses into the ponds and streams to get rid of it, 2,804,554 gallons were imported last year from for eign countries 1 It is made into rum. The Convention has passed an ordinance providing that any coun ty in which a lynching occurs shall be liable to damages in a j sum of not less than $1,000 to the person injured, or. his legal repre sentative, if he is killed. Judge Earle on the Dispensary J Law. Greenville News. During the course of his re marks te the grand jury as to the " finding of bills of indictment for | violations of the Dispensary law, Judge Earle read to the jury the provisions of the act which pre scribe the manner in which sales shall be made by the county dis pensers throughout the State. It is declared to be the law that the county dispenser shall sell upon requests, which ha*re been made out~by the applicant upon blank forms furnished the dispenser and ] signed by the applicant iu the presence of the dispenser or his clerk, these blanks being number ed and returned to the county auditor, and used in making set tlements between the dispenser) and the county treasurer. The Court stated that in some other counties in which he had . held Court it had appeared that the county dispensers had been belling liquor upon orders sent in to them by third persons, permis sion to do so having been* given them by the State Board of Con trol. Such action, . the Court re marked, was in plain violation of] the terms of the act, and the State -Board of Control in approving such conduct, had acted without authority of law. The dispensary law, the Court declared, should be enforced, and all violatore of Iii law throughout the county should be brought to punishment, but at the same time it was in accord with justice that the county dis penser whe should vi?lale the law. should notwithstanding bis posi tion and the fact that his wrong doing may have been mainly tech nical, he also be hold to account for his unlawful act, and be prevent ed from repealing the violation. This is highly essential in order | that a beneficial example may be j set to yiolators of the law moog j the people, and, again, if the coun ty dispense]: should be allowed to sell on orders there was nothing to prevent his running a blind tiger on his own account in connection with his legalized business. A Rotation for the Small Far mer. BY PROP. W. C. WELBORN. The South ought to have a system of rotation. We can grow a great er variety of profitable crops than any other part of our country, and why waste our- energies and our wealth of fertile soil in an un wise and wasteful course of crop ping? The small farmers throughout the South generally raise cotton, corn, and oats. Why not let these crops follow each other in regular order? Then the rotation would be, first year, cotton ; second year, corn and peas ; third year, oats fol lowed by peas. The fourth year the laud would go back in cotton. It is not at all probable that the time will soon come when a great majority of Southern farmers will not raise cotton. Under such a system SB proposed, a good corn crop grown very cheaply could al ways b3 counted on after cotton. The peas would enrich the land for the following oat crop : The oat and pea crop would fill the laud with vegetable matter and put it in good physical condition for cot ton again. So, in tho South, we can grow our regular feed and sale cropB ev ery year aud keep our land rich with the catch-:-rop pea?. Of course it is understood the" farm would have tc bo divided into three parts so that each crop could be grown eAery year. Thero can be no doubt that had *och a sys tem been practiced in the South, the third of many farms in cotton would produce more than the whole now does. Every farmer can arrange for himself a rotation of the crops he grows,remembering always to grow aleguminous, or food-bearing crop, as often as possible, to bring down fertililing muller from the air for succeeding crops. In the black tami, lime, and heavy clay sections of the South red clover succeeds admirably and could be used in a rotation. In the BRI.dy and loamed sections, great claims are made for this an nual ci tm ion ci ver.

Gei Dunovant of Chester-with J and imperfect sketch of hi You may remember he succ me in the command of the b: composed <?f the Fourth, Fiftl Sixth Si.utn Carolina ca which joined the armj'of Noi Virginia iu April, 1864, a opening of that desperate an ing campaign which Grant gurated against Richmond. G al Dunovant was in commai the Fifth South Carolina whe regiment reached Virginia, ai I have remarked, was made 1 dier general when I was pror to the commander of Ham] division in September, 1864. was the beau ideal of a soldi knightly chivalric gentle thorough in the details of d: line and order, exacting, bi ways just, guarding with car? solicitude the interest of his diers, demanding of all alik< full measure of their duty, result was his command wa ways ready to respoud pron to his orders. He was in hir a model of promptness and p sion, both in obeying and e: ting orders. To say thal General Dunc was able in the organization discipline and commend of tr in battle would bs no highen mendation than could be beste on hundreds of othe:.*s. He exceptional in these respects, deserved higher rank than he re ed. Twothiug8 conspired to vent his advancement: First hostility, and I am incline* think jealousy of a superior cer in the early year? of the had blocked his way to promol and second, his post of duty not afford that opportunity foi tive field service for the full e eise of his military talents. His experience in the r?gulai my of the United States, whic) left to cast his fortune with Confederacy, prep* . ec! and qi fied him for organization and ] ting volunteer troops in the li His first sorvice in the Confei ate army was a field officer in First regiment of South Caro! r?gulais, performing garrison d in front of Charleston. This d was, ol course, arduous and im] tant, and I-don't think ha3 b properly appreciated. I have ways insisted that the defensi that historic city, so full of un ampied tleedsof heroism, fortiti and gallantry, is without a pni lei in military annals. The fenders of Forts Moultre and Si ter and the Morris Island bat ries s gainst the combined attai of the land and naval forces the United States, when consid ed in all of its bearings and tails, is the most remarkable history. But I am straying fri my subject. Dunovant was a time one of the actors in ti great drama, but it was when was transferred to the broac fields of Virginia that his taler became more conspicuous, and received the promotion to whi they entitled him. Hu was killed on Oct. 1, 18 nef.r McDowell's fara, below F tersburg, leading his brigade, figl ing as infantry, against the breae works of the enemy. He w mounted on his favorite litt chestnut horse, and it. was my fo tune lo be at his fide when he r ceived his mortal wound. Gener Hampton had dirooted me to hoi a certain position on the Squirr Level road uutil I heard the gui of Gen. W. F. H. Lee on my le and tnen to move forward and a tack all along our front. It was cold, disagreeble, rainy day. W were dismounted and had throw up temporary breastworks of raili logs, otc, and had bean engagin the enemy almost the entire da} reeisting repoated and determiue assaults he would n ake on ou lines uutil about 3 p. m., when was appraised of Lie's ad vane by an incident which was almos ludicrous, and as is often the case came near being tangie. I wil pause to describa it: Dunovant': brigade occupied the left of ou line with Young's brigade on thi right; I had withdrawn Tallia ferr?'u regiment, the Seventh Geor gia, ol' Young's brigade, and sta tioned it in reserve near the point where I had fixed my headquar ters. We bad cautioned the offi cers on the line not, to fire toe quick y on any /mounted column that might approach them, as I was apprehensive lest some of Lee's troops, not knowing our ex ftct position, might; mistake us for tho enemy. Ho hko ourselves, had been fighting on foot in their at tacks during tho morning. It was ii mos*: unfortunate admonition, os tho sequel will show. Whenever rhe Federals would advance to Attack, they would come with a pell and hurrah, which though ?omet mes formidable and loud ?uriugb, never reached Hie vol-1 ?me and audacity cf the 'rebel pell," with which bet i s'.ha be ;arae so familiar sooner 0.1 ialer. This performance ha^. been going >n solong and our men hud got ?o accustomed to driving back heir assailants, that Dunovant eft his lines and joined nie lin ier a largo tree. The rai;: was )onriog in torrents and all who :ould afford one, were covered ritb an oilcloth .cape or overcoat < .nd mast of our men had succeed- 1 d in getting ono, by capture.or 1 otherwise. We noticed the -? ing in front of Dimovau.'s was more continuous than ui and he galloped off through open woods to see what it me He had scarcely got out of/si crossing an angle iu the road our front, when I saw the head a column coming around a ci in the road, charging in col um ! fours, full down upon us. ? posing they were our friends, enemy, for like ourselves, t were all covered with waterpr< and therefore not easily recogu ble, I ordered Colon ;1 Auden in command of the Seventh G' gia, to form his men and get re to fire, at the same time with s at/d couriers we spurned our ho: into the road to resist what supposed to be a charge of the erny. Almost at the minute were in the act of delivering a from our revolvere, pr?par?t to mixing with them with sa Major Rials, provost marshal the cavalry corps, charging w Lieutenant Colonel Phillips of Thirteenth Virginia at the heat his regiment, recognized rae. one minute more they would h received our fire, but as we esc ed, if only by the skin of our te? we enjoyed a hearty laugh c the iucidcnt. Colonel Phillips plained that he had been orde in by General Lee, and having countered Duuovant's line on I left he charged it, supposing il be the enemy, captured it and ' carrying everything before tb until he struck us. The imr. tance of the precaution to our n not tb fire too quickly became m ifest. Dunovant's people rec nized the Virginians, but the cognition was not mutual. If tl had not bein recognized how mi of thom would have been unhc ed by the rifles of our dismoun men it would bp difficult to Q mate. I ordered forward the wh line and they went at a run du the hill, leaviug the two l attei on the ridge engaged, over i heads, iu a sharp artillery d with the enemy's guns. Turn to Coloi.el Phillips, I inquired it was Yankees he was look for," and on his replying in affirmative, I said: "Well, ti tho he'jd of your column and I v shew them to you.*" With tb ai turned and we went thunder down the hill, plump up aga! the incompleted breastworks of enemy. They fired a volley, wh went over our heads, and br< away from their lines and eros; a swamp to mother line they 1: on the east side. ****** Duuovant gave the comma "Attention meu" in a loud voi .They had been subjected to sue! terrible but a short time befe they were a little tardy in hsedi the order. He called out a seco time, iu tones that could not mistaken, and every man jumj to his feet and mqved forward, i ing across the swamp. Dunovan horse was fretting and careerii and mine was not behaving mu better, and as we reached the eau way to cross with the line on c right and left, wi:h an open ro to the eneruie's works on the ott side, we were greeted with a dead volley. Dunovant was shot a tumbled forward from his horse on,the causeway. The horse das ed forward and ran into t enemy's lines. His commai "Forward"' to his gallant soldit was the last word he ever utterc Wbon his body was taken up, u der the directions of his failhf and gallant Adjutant Genen Jeffods, I discovered an ugly ide tatiou on his forehead and co eluded it was there he received h mortal wound, but on examin tiou, it was found he was shot tbe breast and the wouud on tl forehead must have beeu mai when he fell forward, by a root i log on tho causeway. We at once summoned Dr. Foi taine, medical director of tl corps, and as he was making li way through our batteries on tl hill in our rear, he was Btruck i the neck by the fragment of a she from the enemy's guns, and he tc paid the penalty of a faithful, fea lees discharge of duty-a splendi gentleman and accomplished oil cer, passed to his last account, h could, however, have rendere Dunovant no service, as his gallar life went out almost in the twin! ling of an eye. General Dunovant was born ? Chester, S. C., on the 5th day c March, 1825, and was therefore ii the 39th year of his age at th time of his death. He served i the Mexican was as 3rd sergean of Company B, Palmetto regimeu and was mustered into the Unite* States service at Charleston, De cember, 1846. He was discharget ^at the City of Mexico November 1847, on account of a severe woun< received in the charge of the Pal raetto regiment against the wal enclosing the castle of Chapulte pee. He was subsequently ap pointed a captain in the regula army and resigned hiscommissior of captain of the 10th infantry ii 1861 to join the Confederate army Soon after his arrival in Virgi nia in 1364, he was detached wit! his regiment on temporary duh under command of Gen. Fitz L*>( and while so d*tatched received ? paint' 1 wound in the haud in ar engagement with the enemy on thc James river. Before his wound was healed he reported for dut} with hand in a sling and nevei again left it until his death. This, with what has preceded, is the brief story of his career, and of his services to bis country. They were as honorable and patrioticae any man's and that country has never had a more devoted ann or gallant defender. He was one of the lew men I bave met in my life who seemed absolutely indifferent So the clangers and perils of battle. II : was always sedate, self ci?m |)Ciin\l, fearless and ready. He died x?
