It will produce two tons to the acre on good land, will sell for as much as Timothy, and is the only bay crop that'can be grown in the cotton belt upon which horses and mules can be fed and kept fat without grain. It can be produced far cheaper than.corn. Corn isa very expensive food for stock. Our old friend W. fl. Stallworth, of Phoenix, thinks that "even wheat is a cheaper crop to raise fer horses and mules than corn, espe cially as you can make wheat and corn ooth on the same land the same year." This same gentleman says that "the great problem for the Southern farmer to solve is, how to feed his stock more cheaply, that- is to say without grow ing so much .corn !" A horse will eat his own head off tvery year in corn and fodder. f Strange Things Will Happen. The McCormick News is responsi ble fer the following on John Black well and Dr. Tom Jennings: "You have heard of Turpentine Ri Ver catch ing on fire and burning on into Tar River, setting it on fire, but did you ever hear of an Irish potato patch be ing consumed by lire? Well, this re markable event actually occurred in our neighboring, county, ? few ?miles across the line: -A :aegro woman pass ing the potat? ps.tch oTMr^John. pipe on the straw^ with whiih the patch was covered und soon] 'thp.flaooe was seen to.ascen.dj a,nd the aJarm..was. givep and ail hands- fought valiantly, but unabated the .-flames swept on until the entire patch wau consumed." "A novel idea to get rid of grass in a sweet potato patch. We are credibly informed that Dr. T. E. Jennings, from near this place, finding his sweet po tato patch so over run with grass that would almost be a matter of impossi bility to root up the grass without rooting up the potatoes also, decided to pull up his potato vines and remove them to a more favored spot-'live and learn.' " The Meteor. The brilliant meteor soen in Edge field on last Wednesday night didn't fall in anybody's backyr.rd, but was visible everywhere in the State. We dfd hot see it, but have seen several descriptions! Here is one : "The^ first appearance was attended with a. cloud looking like^a small cy clone, and quickly breaking through this, the burning meteor shot rapidly across at least ore-quarter of the heaven j attended with a halo resem bling that which surrounds the moon on some hazy nights. The sight was a treat to those who were in a position to see its ingress and egress of the at mosphere." Here is another '. "Thetransit across the southern heavens last night about 9 o'clock of a big meteor, of comet pro portions, astonished the natives and knocked out the oldest . inhabitants. The* unheralded visitor looked like a mighty skyrocket; ajid as it darted over, the horizon from east to west lit up the whole heavens as by a monu mental streak of lightning. It . hurst in the west and disappeared in five or six parts as a skyrocket bursts, show ing vari-colored lights."

EDITOR : I have read wi interest the. l ng and evident carefufiy-and thoughtfully writte and doubtless would-be conviu ing and conclusive communicatk of Mr. J. M. Gaines, of Greenwo: county-the Pretender and tl Usurper-as recently published i the ADVERTISER and Chronic!? but I think the writer, being we aware of the ridiculous absurdil of his pretended right to hold h seat-jn the Senate, has permitte bis zeal to shield himself from ti righteous condemnation of tl outraged people of Edgeiield, I over-reach itself in the apparel confidence he seems to have as \ hi? .right to continue to hold tt office of Senator from Edgefieh whilst he frankly admits that h has. since the 4th of June "becom a citizen of Greenwood." The Constitution of the State c South Carolina-the organic la as adopted bv the State Constiti tional Convention in the fall c 1895-says : . "No p^rsor shall be eligible to seat in the Senate or House c Representatives, who at the tim of his electiou, is not a duly qual fied elector under this Constiti Mon in the county in which h may be chosen." Now, how is it possihle for M. Gaines, a gentleman of ackuow edged ability, or any one else even : a fool-to misconstrue th above section from the State COE stitution, uv less prompted by sell ish ambitious aims and unjus purposes? Therefore, Mr. Editor, if it i necessary for a person, at the tim of his election, to be adulyquali ried elector "in the county in whic, He may be chosen," in order to "b eligible to a seat in the Senate, why it is as clear as the noon da; sun that the moment the Senato thus elected ceases to be a dui qualified .elector in the countg i; which he was chosen, right then am thereh?b?come's ineligible to hob the office longer, and any pretend ed right -thereafter' to said office i an ; arbitrary and 'unwarrante* usurpation of th?'rights of the peo pie: And yet, blithe face of the Con atitutional ;l?ti\' before him, ' X?itl full knowledge- of" the clear am distinct frti?M:of'.6ai'd law-yet be the gentleman. \vt?p"h?s'- 'Mj'ecpm*e' ) citizen of Greenwood-," and wishe tc-'be recpgi?fzedlas "the Senate from '.??gef?jB ?d,7 bas'the^ffrou tor; :tfcv b^id^a-^fT^str ^so tar^s-tfr letter of law is ^cOnc?Vff?d,' I.hay> the right to hcM' .out the term' o 'four years as jSeria(or froto Edge field,?; ?ut r^ht '.?beie vVthaetil small ypice withiii" ^must-have as serted itself, ..anet the. Greenwood gentleman meekly) adds: "But t< do so? would not at all accord witl my . own ide'as of ' propriety." O course not, because law or no law it is not rigid , for him-to hold ai Edgefield office so long as he remain a non'-res?dsht Of the county., An( no one knows ibis better thari'lSlT J. M. Gaiues'i of Greenwood county In one breath the Greenwood Pie tender and Usurper says that he (an alien) hag a right to .hold ai Edgefield ' office four years-an( tlien iu the next, admits that t< do so -would not accord with hil ideas of propriety. Mr.-Gaines has considerable t( say in reference to what he saic and done during the last campaign And now-s?ys that at that time h< did not expect "Greenwood coiiutj to be put into .operation as earl} as it has been." Yes, and we knov that both he and Mr. Yeldell as sured the people that it woulc take two years or longer for th< coinplete'establishment of Gieen wood county, and Mr. Gaines alsc then said that as soon as Green, wood was duly organized he woulc hand in hii resignation. First de. luding the. people (unwittingl) perhaps) into the belief that, ii would take two years to accom plish what has been done in aboul six months-and now, (although he promised to resign when Green wood county assumed countyhood, the Pretender and Usurper de clines to make good his promise And, as an excuse, weak anc flimsy though it is, for not doin^ what he kuew was right in thc premises. Mr. Gaines tells us that certain "prominent citizens oi , what yet remains of Edgefield county," opposed his resigning on account of the probable expense , aud anuoyance of a special elec tion, etc. Now, with all due re ? spect for the views cf said "prom inent citizens," we think that they i have advised Mr. Gaines withou! , due regard to Mr. G.'s true posi tion. Because he has no right non I -moral or legal-to hold the office as Senator from Edgefield. And all acts of his, if he is permittee bp sit in the Senate, as Senatoi from Edgefield, will be void anc of none effect, and, if an issue it made, will be so adjudged by the courts, of the. State. Because Mr - Gaines has "become a citizen ol i Greenwood county"-is not i . "qnalified elector" of Edgefield ' county-and is therefore, as tb< , Constitution declaren, "not eliglbh - to a scat in the Senate," RED HILL, Jim Miner Says ''.it in Your Bufrgy and Let 'em Alone." MR. EDITOR: I want to put. a piece in your paper to ask the good people to let Brother Yeldell and Brother Gaines alone, as we are doing well at this time and hope other folks are enjoying the same blessing. It is some office seeker, and we had bettor watch them from now to the end. I hope it is no "auti" that wauts Mr. Gaines and Yeldell out of office, it must be a ''Farm Movement Man." I am one that tries to get my light from the best I can, but never could hide it under a bushel measure. I waot Mr. Yeldell and Mr. Gainee to hold their offices un til the next electioD-anything to "clap the climax," and that will clap it. The "Farm Movement Man" said the "tax would be lower, but" I can see I get lower every year, but not the tax. To change the subject : When you hear a man say what he is a-going to do (and ain't done it yet)git in your buggy and drive off as fast as you caD, and if you haven't got a fat horse call on me and Dr. Self, weare got the fast rnaresL My "Game Pullet" is fast but "Old Dick" is played out. Now, friends, I want you here after when you hear a candidate say what he is gwine to do, git in your buggy and go off, even if you have to go in a walk. As I have said above, me and Dr. Self have fat and fatt mares and will drive you off in our buggies if you want us to. It will be better to walk off on your own trotters than to "tay aud hear it over again, for there is nothing in it, it is wind, or as the Bible tells us. "Sound and fury signifying nothing." I always sign my name lo my pieces so that everybody may know where 1 am at. All your correspondents ought to do likewise. Messrs. Gaines and Yeldell are but following the acripturejin hold ing on ; that Good Book says, "Oc cupy till I come."' Ain't they a-do ing ii?
