The two letters mentioned were in the wreck, and have lain under water for nearly four months. They were in a perfect state of preservation, and many letters that never crossed water were in a worse condition. On the back of each was printed, "This letter on S. S. Oregon which sank March 14th 188G. Ilecovered between 1st and 4th July 1886." This speaks volume for the efficiency and enterprise the of Postoffice Department.

Editors: As it seems tc be the order of the day for everyone tc i fivnress their views Oil all topics of public interest, I thought I would give you mine as to our representatives. It is a well-known fact that the longer a man sticks to his trade the more competent he becomes to turn out good work so I think it is with our law-makers. As we have in our county a delegation who are well divided a3 to occupation and section of the county, I hope the clubs will endorse and the people support them for another term, and 1 keep them there as long as they discharge their duties as acceptably to tho people in the future as they have done in the past. While I am in hearty sympathy with the farmers' movement, I do not wish to proscribe anyone on account of their occupation, 1 think we ought to have one lawyer in each delegation, and as we have a yoang, intelligent, energetic lawyer in our delegation, who, if he continues as he has begun, will be an honor to our county, and a thorough representative of her people. I move that we elect him again. flat branch. LIVE AXD LEAHX. Messrs. Editors: To say that we have had more rain since the 20th May up to the present date than was ever known in the same length of time, would be repeating what yon have already heard for the dozenth time, still it ought to be put on record- A neighbor told me that a large branch which runs through his place has been out of its banks sixteen times, and Little Rocky Creek has been out of its banks eighteen times and has been fuller than at any time since 185G, when so many mill dams were broken. A large per cent, of the bottoms are completely drowned out. Messrs. Editors, my main object in writing is not to chronicle the above facts, but to thank your correspondent "Old Man", for his explanation of cheat or chess in wheat. I have been reproaching myself for a thing I thought was a fault of mine, but now I feel wonderfullyrelieved. To explain: I have a field lying along the public road and ? ' "? -11. ! J --."L X ~ planted couon m it, ana very ujueii iu my disappointed and chagrin, the land being wet and sponty, the cotton deteriorated into crab grass. A neighbor told me that he planted corn in a field and it deterioted into weeds. I made a fish pond in a -wet, spouty place and put in ten German carp in it, and very sad to relate, I find that they have deteriorated into three large B?frogs. Now the lesson I have learned from "Old Man" and the com fort I have derived from the information are invaluable, middle-aged. MORRIS CREEK XOTES. i Jfvssrs. Editors: "Morris Creek" knows of nothing of a local character that would be of general interest to your readers. To say that our people are in the grass would only affirm what all know, and what, under existing circumstances, could scarcely be otherwise. But while some crops have been lost by high water, and portions of others by the grass, still it is better not to murmur at those events which are i o far beyond oar control as to release us from all responsibility. Farmers may find some consolation in the fact that this extraordinarily wet spring has restored to our evil a degree of fertility which it has not possessed for perhaps two decades of years. Many barren spots which have produced nothing for years are now covered with grass. And besides having, in all probability, a large crop of hay in our fields (as in olden time), we shall also have such a heavy coat ing of vegetable matter on our lands as will greatly benefit them if turned over after the frost has killed it. But should any of our farmers think that this vegetable matter ought to be turned over in a green state, I would refer them, before doing so, to two of our best farmers?Mr. W. N. Mason and Mr. Thos. Watt?when '.hey would probably be persuaded out of it. They r% TTA #-V?lO/7 if UCbV^ W >\AJ AC* "What has the farmers' movement to do with politics? Would it not be well for those who are trying to pour cold water on this grand and noble movement first to furnish some evidence of the danger they suppose to be concealed in this Trojon horse? They assert there is danger. The burden of proof must therefore fall upon them, and not on those who deny it. Why throw out dark insinuations and suspicions against the movement without fur liishiug any prool or evidence for them? Wbv c. cate a man of straw and then t; v ij hew him down to the dust? If tliis issue is forced upon us, we ask for a fair fight; and would respectfully ask the opposition to show us what was said or done in the Convention in Columbia that betok.3 .3 ~a _ _ir. . i | enea auy uesigu ur iiiluuuou 10 anect the Democratic party in any way. Besides, who were the rr.en that composed that Convention? Were they tainted with Radicalism or Greenbackism? Or did they refuse to bear arms in the late war? No. They stand among the truest and best of our men. Why make Mr. Tillman the head, life and soul of the Convention as now organized? Did his head contain all the brain power in the Convention, or were the members his vassals to come and go at his bidding? No such thing. They acted upon their own individuality. They were no doubt in full sympathy with many of Mr. T.'s views. He had secured "this sympathy by his successful example as a farmer. Then by his practical writings on agriculture. The Convennco ionr o I uvu aoo^UiL/ivu wvvwucv/ muj oatv u? need for it. Patrick Henry aroused the Colonies to assert their rights, throw off oppression, and take their business in their own hands. But was the American Pevolntion Patrick Henry's war? Was he pleading for his own selfish purposes? Was he not fnr n. r.nmmnn rAnsfi in whirh the interests of all were involved. Tillman has stirred up the people to seek their own interest in developing their agricultural and financial re? 1 seources. Honor to him for it. But : others think as well as he. The Con, vention is a Convention of Farmers, and is destined, no doubt, at no distant ; day, to benefit all classes, professions : and trades in our State, especially as ail are dependent, more or less, upon : the successful development of our agricultural resources.
