Tbe Oblumbfa State from week to week publishes the names of the sol diers In the Revolutionary war, as they have been culled from the quan tity of loose documents discovered by Secretary of State Gantt * in . the State house. The State says when the worft is finally done, it is hoped, “that a comparatively complete list of the men who fouaht under Marlon, Pickens and Sumter during the clos ing years of tiie Revolution—that pe riod which marked the bitterest frat ricidal struggle that has taken place In an American State, and of brilliant and memorable achievements of soot of South Carolina—will be preserved. ‘ Prior to the fall of Charleston, May 30, 1780, our State was removed from the •‘qnj.re of the conflict, and but for the brilliant victory of Port Moultrie and a few desultory and almost blood less invasions, engaged In little of the fighting: but during theclosing years, wheti the-e men. whose names we are publishing were fighting, South Caro lina bore the brunt of Uie conflict, and these men drove the British from pur State and Cornwallis’ army to Washington and Yorktown. But for thel-deeds, and without their help, Washington would have been like Dav s and Lee In latter years, tbe lead ;r of an unsuccessful revolution, and South Carolina probably a British province."

Joseph Atkins: authorized by Govr be possible, it is nevertheless entirely feasible to produce cotton^at a margin of profit that will compare favorably with that Involved In the production of moat of tbe staple crops of the United States by following what have become known generally a^ the cultur al methods, involving changes and modifications of the system of cotton raising made necessary by the weevil. They were originally suggested by a careful study of tbe life history and habits of tbe pest, and naturally any Improvements that may be made will result in tbe continuation .of that study. They have now been tested successfully on a large scale by the division of entomology, as well as by many planters, during two very un favorable seasons. Of greatest advant age is the reduction of* the numbers of the weevils by ihe destruction of tbe plants in the fall. Tbe advantage thus gained is followed’up by bending every effort toward procuring an early crop the following season.” The changes in the cotton raising system urgently recommended are: Early planting with seed from as far North as possible; thorough cultiva tion of the fields, which influences the constant growth and cooseqiient early maturing of the crop; planting tbe rf>wa 48 fir fp* 1 * ** an( ] thorough thinlng~out of planta in 3&e rows: destruction by plowing up Wind- rowlng and burning of all the cotton showing the farmers bow to grew something else besides cotton. Thi department of agriculture is-laying Its plans to meet the spread of the cotton boll weevil. Congress ’ has appropriated 3250,000 for this pur pose and this sum is to be used not only in Texas, but In the various cot ton growing states. Tbe department not only proposes to deal with the weevil In Texas, but it proposes to teach tbe farmers to grow sometbiog cdse than cotton, if It should appear «o the department that It Is not able to control tbe pest. To this end diversification farms will be eastabllshed In each of tbe South ern sutes. Two of these farms are] to be in South Carolina, and ^de partment has about decided to place them Ju the districts of Representa tives Lever and Johnson. These are not experimental farms in any sense of tbe word, but are to be model farms, under tbe supervision of the experts of the agricultural de partment. The plan is for the depart- men to furnish all the seed, one-half the fertilizer and the expert super vision, while the individual is to fur nish tbe land and the labor. The correspondent of the News and Courier says of this idea that Mr. Lever has recommended to the de partment as a suitable man to carry on this Idea Mr. F. H. Hyatt, who is a most progressive citizen, living near Columbia, an^ within easy touch with the entire state. It is proposed not only to grow the various crops, but during the summer time to invite the farmers of the state to visit the farms In order that they may see their prac tical workings. J It Is proposed not to plant cotton, but only to supplement It. Cotton a exhaustive to the soil, and this diver slfication Idea is intended to demon strate to this farmers that it is better to grow crops In rotation, in order not only to maintain the fertilizer In the soil, but actually increase it. Great practical good is expected by the de partment from this plan. stalks in the fields as soon as the weevils become so numerous that prac tically all the fruit is being punctur ed, thus destroying the very great proportion of weevils developing late In the autumn; and extensive use of fertilizers so as to procure earlier crops.

He was a preacher of marked ability, and in what was considered bis best days, great crowds attended his ministry. He never had the advantages of tbe Seminary, and of colleges, but he built well on the good foundation be received in the “old field” schools. He read good-books and was a close student-oXthe Bible.- He, was well In tbe fundamental New t doctrines, and in bis preaching he always dwelt' on these great themes and presented them with unusual force and clearness. He was a mrfn of pleasant manners, gen tle, sweet-spirited, generous, and pru dent in speech and conduct. He loved bis brethren, and esteemed highly his brother ministers, holding them in honor, and was always cour teous and kind: In the days of his strength he was so much sought after by his brother pastors for revival ser vices, and his gifts in this respect.were conspicuous, and his caution In re ceiving candidates for baptism was well known and universally commend ed. He believed in a high standard of Christian life and wisely contended for good discipline in the churches. For a number of years he was a mode rator of the Orangeburg Association meetlngs. -Ofr recent years his healtfa was not good, but as long as he a . was Democrat in politics, able he preached. Only a few days ago he quietly passed away, full of years, and years full of labors for tbe Master.
