We woiiM like t** { have information on thisquesl ion. Ones-' lions of vit.il importance to the welfare of; t??e people arc to bo voted upon, ami wej think it nothing bnt fair to give both sides of these questions a hearing. The matter of new counties is one of the1 questions to ho settled. Various propo-1 sitions are being made todividethe er.un-' ties into mcch smaller territory with the! sivowed hope of enhancing the value of i certain property, and also for the greater' convenience of the people generally.: SVith the area reduced to 425 square! miles soino fifty tic weoun ties may and! ill be organized. We now have only j 34 counties. In earh county there*arc? j 1 Sheriff. 1 Clerk of Court, 1 Atulitor, 1 Treasurer, 1 Master in Equity, ? Probate Judge, 1 School Commissioner, 3 County Commissioners, 1 Clerk for County Commissioners. 1 Supervisor of Registration. Twelve county officers in each county, <>r in fifty couulies six hundred additional county offices to bo support ?d by taxing iho people. In audition to the support of these officer.-*, each county would requiro 1 Court House, 1 Jail, 1 Poor Farm. Tho Court IIouv? p.t Abbeville cost; about $-0,000, tbc jail about $10,000, and tho poor farm say $."1,000, in all ?&,()(Hi. The safes, desks, pigeon holes, books and other furniture in the Court IIouso is estimated at Can we afl'ord to build j now court houses, and jails, purchase j poor farms for fifty new counties, and then pay the army of offlcors who will j thenceforth live oil' tho public? NViil anybody say that these officers will live! without expense to the public? It is claimed that property will be enhanced by the establishment of Court Houses. Is this true? If the property of one town is made more valuable because of the transfer of business from another town, is not one town injured in the exact proportion that the other is ben- j cfitted ? All those are important matters, and deserve serious consideration, and j wo think tho Democratic managers should give tho people ft chance to vote! either way. . As the Democratic party in the past has ] faithfully kept its pledges in reference to ! the management of the public funds,! Nvo presEme that it is tho intention of| the party to fuliill its promises in the fit-J luro. Tho proposition to erect one hun- i clrecl and fifty public buildings by taxa-; lion, and to add six hundred officers to! "be paid by the people, deserves earefnl | consideration by the eitizen. The gt'eatj majority of our people will bo burthen-. od by increased fees, and higher taxes. | to su]>port an army of six hundred offi-1 cers, more than are how maintained at | public expense. Where the offioor is not paid out of the treasury by direct taxation, tho fees, under the proposed j scheme, must necessarily bo greatly in-j creased. In addition to the .six hundred new ' county officers, the number of our.Sena- i tors would be increased from thirty-five J to eighty-live. The number of Circuit' Judges and Solicitors would be more! than doubled. To view the matter in a practical light,! may we not ask if it would not be cheap-1 cr to the public if gentlemen having) much business in Court, would tnovo to i the Court lionse? When Mohammed j lad business on tho mountain, ho went! to it, The Graded School.

Tho! taiass meeting, however, will take place! V>n Saturday of this week and on that 'day competent speakers will explain thej -*iin of tbo movement that was inaugurated at the educational meeting in the; Court House last week. Thereare many; practical advantages to be derived from a; Well graded school, which would require' more time and space than we have in or- j <ler to fully explain and set forth, but we; Siopo that all who are interested in the: matter will attend tho meeting next Sat- { urday when the whole subject will bel'ul-: iy explained.?EiljcHcld Chronicle. After several year's experience with a , ??- graded school the trustees of the Abbe-1 ville School have abandoned the "graded i system,'' and have now organized a high J school under a system of teaching which' will not bo embarrassed by arbitrary, rules that interfere with the teaching ca-' pacity of the teacher while they seta lint-j it to the scholar's progress, regardless of his ability to advance. Under the graded j system the brightest student must wait: for the dullest member of his c'a-<s, and' under the graded system the work of teaching is unequally divided?some j teachers having U>o much to do, while' Mothers have idle time on their hands. ; The Augnsta Trade Issue. i "Last week we received tho Fourth!

Editors Prens and Banner: II is tint justice to the newly elected town council of Abbeville to say in reply ! to the correspondent from Abbeville to; the Ifetvs and Courier, under the sigtia-! ture of "JV that tho cull of a citizens i meeting was called by the organ of the] old council, to wit: the Press and Manner, and upon that call the eutire voting strength, both white and black, assem- i bltd to nominate a ticket. When the meeting was called to order by the Chairman, Mr. R. E. Hill one of the nominees on tho new ticket, rose to address the meeting and opened his spceeh by saying i that if any good man would take hisj j)lacc ho would willingly and gladly with-j draw in his favor, but that he was heartilv opposed to the old council. He then j( proceeded to state his reasons, whereupon j one of the supporters of the old ticket [ pulled bis coat ott' and proceeded to curse' and abuse him.

JiDWAHD NOBLK, JR. j Survivors Konnioit at Hodges, S. C. A reunion ol' the Survivors of Company F, Uoleotnbc Legion, was had at Hodges on Wednesday loth instant, in the hall of the Knights of Honor. Maj.' M. <_;. Zeigler, who was the first Captr.in ! of the Company, was ealled to the chair, j and Sergeant Wm. F. Roderick request-: ed to act as Secretary. On taking the! chair Maj.

No sound can awuke thetn to glory again." 11 I might say a great deal about our com- j i panv, but, as tliero aro others who will M probably wish to say a word, and as we ! ] have work to do in getting up a roll of, j the company's killed ami wounded, I ji will close with the wish that the trictn- j bers of old Company F may always entertain the same high degreo of friend- ' ship toward each other that we have al-1 ways had, and that each and every one': may prosper in every undertaking, and j I that all may bo as true to their country's j' interest as citizens, as they were in the j capacity of soldiers. jl The meeting was a pleasant one, there (i being a good turnout, considering the > good weather for farm work, and the j short notice given.

Sam l.eeand llobort. Smalls were nnmlnat?-tl tor temporary Chairman, and a count of noses showed an almost, equal division of adherents between the pale descendant. of the hoiiMi of Mos?s and the "runaway slave" of African scent. l.ec received sixty votes and Smalls fiftyone, and a feeble shout from the camp of the Ishmaelites attested their victory. Smalls moved that the vote be made unanimous. which was carried. I,en was conducted to the chair vacated by his rivip, Macke'y. and nfter a few words of thanks he jc<|uesicd thatgentlemen not members of ih'> Convention would vacate the seats on the tloor, and that the regularly accredited members would occupy them. (ten l>ona.hl?:on. of (ireenville. obtained the floor and called attention to the fact that the reporters ol the democratic newspapers were present, and appealing to them, hoped that they would net fairly if-. Riving the proceedings ol' the Convention to the world, and not treat the body with disrespect. He was sick and tireil of seeing constantly in the Orrrnriilr S'rws, the Cn'innhi't }{ *;/i*Irr and the (A'om ?<ia (mirief allusions which were not complimentary to the Republican party, and he hoped that as they were accorded a place in the Convention they would treat it> members and proceedings with respect. A motion prevailed to appoint a Committee on Credentials of one from each county alter a goo I ileal of fuss and the Chair appointed tlic committee and requested them to retire and prepare their report. A number of the members appointed requested to withdraw, which was granted, but the thing becoming general, the Chair put. a stop to it by refusing to entertain a motion from the gentleman lin black) from Lancaster that his colleague be allowed to resign in favor ol some one else whom ho named This brought, up the first mentioned gentleman from I Jin caster, who proceeded to discuss the "law"of the Convention, according to liar clay's parliamentary digest, which lie declared was tins highest authority in the world, and "he knew what Ite was talking about."' He talke.il for about a half hour, and crew more and more Indignant as he proceeded, changing Hrst the Chair and then the revenue department with attempting to choke'hitn otl and yag hitn. A scene ot considerable confusion ensued, with about a dozen members on tiie tloor at once. During all this eonfn?ion the member from T.ancaster held the lloor ard at each lull in the bubble referred to Ha relay's digest and demanded t<> know it the Cha'i dated to dispute liis law. MP lor, of Heaufort. cot the floor for a short time and put in a few strong point* against, the revenue department, which he charged had imported men from other States and appointed them to oillco in place of good men, white and black, who had fought, hied and died for the Kcpuhlican party,and the head of the department had brought these men hero for the purpose of controlling the Convention, and now talk of "dirty work" and "log roiling." A member moved that the Convention go into Committee of the Whole to discuss these points but was overruled. The member from Lancaster reserved the tloor with Barclay's digest, and wanted to know if the Chair dared to rule in the faee of this Convention that he and Barclay wercout of order. Another member rose to a point of order, which was that tho whole Convention was out of order, and that Smalls be requested to address the Convention until the Committee on Credentials returned. Finally.a gentlemen in the rear moved that any gentleman who gets the flcor llrst knows what he had to say, and then say it nnd get through with It. and not be making jackasses of themselves by the course which was now being pursued. At this stage a recess for one hour was moved, and as by this time, .1:20, the crowd were getting hungry, the motion pre vailed. The Conven'ion reassembled nfler (lie recess, but did not get to talking until about a o'clock. Lee. who was prompt ly hi the chair at the close of the hour, sat placidly waiting a*< the tardy members dropped in by twos and threes. The Committee On Credentials reported a list of members from all the counties, embracing the names which had been enrolled in the morning with a few exceptions, A minority report was also submitted, and upon these reports a lively tight ensued. Lee pertinaciously ruled the majority report the matter lor consideration, while Miller led the opposition, insisting on the consideration of the minority report, which recommended the seating of several members of delegations rejected by the majority. A general melee ensued, participated in by Smalls, Mackey,Shrewsbury,Miller, Kr.iyton and the members generally. It appeared that the malority wanted to seat Mo-srs. C. M. Wilder, of ltichlaud and Warren It. Marshall, of F.ilrlleld, (?) as deleKates from Union, although neither of the gentlemen had ever lived in Union and knew nothing </f ihe constituents they were called on to represent. A Mr Cummlnshad come to Columbia from Newberry on a visit, and being a good man to vote, he had been assigned to represent Pickens, which, as a member said, knew no more about Cummins than Cummins did about Pickens. The same good office was performed for Anderson, which had not sent a suitable delegate, and a gentleman from tho revenue department was temporarily assigned to duty for the Republican moonshiners. Myers said that if the men who had brought in the report had the modesty of Judas Iscarlot they would go out and hang themselves before perpetrating so great a Wrong. Hr.iyton said it would not do to scrutinize too closely the methods by which the delegates had been returned, or it might be found that but few would remain. Some member asked him ho^v it was Trith himself? ne replied: - wen, ne una ueen oiuiaweu, but he paid bis poll tux in Aiken and luul his washing done in Columbia." Taft thought it high time that the Repnblleun parly was organized according to its own rules. They should he rigidly enforced, and it Republicans would not keep up thoirorganizations in the several counties, their representatives when bent here should not b*; allowed to take part in the Convention. Nevertheless, he thought it not the time to make the issue, and favored the adoption of the liberal report of the majority. Miller charged that the revenue department was running the Convention ; that ISray ton had imported men from other States and appointed them to office, to the exclusion of good men, while and black, only that he might pack the Convention with them and outvote honest Republicans. The party had been brought to ruin by mismanagement In ls7C. Hut for these distentions in Colleton in '7<>, Hampton and his damnable horde would never have ruled South Carolina. Another sable representative said that the Democrats had brought, the Republicans to such an unhappy condition by their election and stuck laws and laws against stealing that it was bolter to be in hell than under Democrat ic auspices. In the midst of the din and confusion Hen Donaldson, of Greenville, cot the Door and moved that the Convention adjourn and go home, which was put to a vote, it sounded to nn impartial observer that the ayes prevailed by a considerable majority, but the astute Chairman decided it nay. The question on adoption of the majority report tin credentials was put and carried over the protest of Miller and bis adherents, who charged that Lee and IJUle had counted them uut. Then came the motion that the temporary oflieersof the Convention be declared permanent. The opposition nominated Purvis of Charleston, and again lln'ie was confusion worse' confounded for the space of half an hour, but the question was put and carried. Lee resumed the chair and started a set speech, thanking tlie Convention for the honor conferred In elevating him to the position,' nt which point lie was in1<-rrupt<-d by cries; lrom all parts of the House Of "Not so! We didn't do it!" accompanied by the loud and ilerisl ve gull'aw of Maekey and the asseveration of Miller that he had robbed tiietn ofi their votes. Lee apologized and humbly declared, calling high heaven to witness his sincerity, that he had endeavored'to put every question to the! body fairly and honestly and with an eye sin-] ;le to ascertain the sense of the majority. Tlie rules of the House of Representatives! were then adopted for the government of the Convention and a Committee on Rules appointed. Hitherto the course of the Convention had been stormy. 'J'hey had been washing the lirly linen of ft very dirty concern, and the i liUnily exposures had stirred their liercest passions as of yore. Maekey poured oil upon the troubled Waters by moving that the Convention now resolve itself into secret session for the purpose of dismissing the state of affairs?meaning the bargain with the Cret-nbackers noticed in the Rrt/infrr some weeks ago. This was a bond of harmony?anything to beat the Democrats? find like a den of wild beasts who are devourInn each other when a victim is thrown; among them, lliey forgot their own squabbles and went to devouring the Democrats. Tnc motion prevailed, the nail was cleared and the following resolution was ottered: Hi'xotvi'il,That this Convention endorse tho nominees of the State ticket of the Independent (.ireonback Labor Ueform party. A substitute was ottered : "That a commit- i tee of seven be appointed on the part of this I Convention to confer with a suitable committee on the part of the Independent party of the state on the nominations which they have ] niiide and other matters which may come tip " ! Smalls took the tloor and hoped tlmt t he hit- j ter resolution would pass. He believed that. | they were in a hopeless condition, and could ! do nothing but endorse the (ireenback party. He knew that what he should say would be ' published to the world, tint it must tie said. 1 ['resident Arthur had promised him, and ; would stand by ills promise, to do what lie' L-onld to help them beat the Democrats In j south Carolina. The Greenback ticket had, been spoken of as very weak, but It was as i strong as could bo expected from such poor j material. It was certain that we could not L'iect a silicic man on a State ticket, and. In I the nuine of God. let us take the Greenback | 'icket and help them to elect It. He wanted i to hear from every county represented in this i Convention what the people thought of the! [ireenbackers, and whether they could dot itnythlng by uniting with them. As for him- j self, lie was for taking it and doing the best! they could wltb it. Kershaw responded by her representative Brooks. He had thf honor of furnishing the j lirst. martyr to the cause. He thought that' without coalition with the Greenlmckers j there was no hope w hatever of success. York's delegates was for union. The Kepub-1 limns cannot get a imijorit.v In the country, j ?nd If the (ireenbackeis will come to u.s with [ uiythinK like fair terms let lis Join them. | Neither ut us can succeed separately. 11c wan unwilling, however, to take them upon their' L'lnpty promise to do better lor us than the1 Democrats.

Mackey said the proposition did not ask the 11 inn nf the fireenback jiialform. butsirn- 11 i ply thai tliu Convention should endorse their 11 j stale ticket. There was but one alternative; i j we have got to run a straighout Republican i ticket, which no man who iiii>I ounco of sense ' < i believed we could carry, or must wo Join some j \ party In tlio election of their ticket. Theji ; (iri enbackers, it was true, would go no fur- jj I ther than promise a free ballot and a fair jj j count, and we would have to trust thoni for i | the t'nI(iIirnorit of that promise. It was the n j best that cou'd he done; and he was in favor of., closing the bargain without any further talk , | ! about it. I j Miller said that the great advantage he ex-1 < j peeled from the endorsement of the tjreen-j, ; back ticket was that it would teach the pres. I( ! cut rulers of Sout h Carolina the lesson thatji j they can be split up and divided and hnvingji j done this in this election he had no doubt i< ! that in Ins i the IJepubllcan party would be 'j j strong enough to stand alone, and then it|| j would absorb the (Jrccnbne'ter and other fac-1 j tions and acknowledged by them as the grand ; I ruling power which was henceforth to sway j ( the destinies ol the people- of this stnte.

' , I The delegate froi#Sumter thought the com-' i j milieu bad done ils work as they should have I, done. Everything should be stated that the : (Jreenbackers Intended to do.

I I if we go with them at all it must bojisKe-i, i publicans and not as 'Jrcenbaekers, and if we J; j aid them to elect their State ticket it should ! be stipulated that they should come with us'j (and help us to carry the county elections.;) j The (ircenbackers were but a part and parcei;, ) of the ISourbon Democracy, and wiio knows ; I that after the election is over, having useu us < | I to secure it, they will turn us out in the cold jj land forget all these promises to us, as then j Democrats did after 1-S7II. j ( 1 The Greenback platform was called for anil j i j pulimlttcd, but the managers 01 mc coauiiou i : would not permit It to ho r?ad.

I j Mackey put In the urt/ttinenfeni ml hominnnI ( j that they could not allord to spend so much j, j time over these discussions; they could not | i stay here another day, (tse knew what lie was i talking about,) and as this thing ha?' to be h i done, he thought they should do it without ' further talk. I I The talk, which had now consumed twoj( hours, was on the naked proposition of then j Committee of Conf'*renco to endorse the|| Greenback ticket. The discussion showed < that the temper of the Convention rebelled t t against a a transfer of the party to the Green- h backers without other consideration than ajj free ballot and a fair count, and Mackey, ij , therefore, Introduced the resolution given I, j above a? a substitute for the suggestion of the j j ! committee. 1 The talk was renewed for another honr. I Talt took occasion to gel In a word on Con- ( I gresslonal subjects, and to give T. J. Mackey ( I a kick where It would do most good. Ho said ( . there are I'ourbon Republicans to be guarded j against as well as Hourbon Democrats if wo i did not wish to see the Republican party j | buried so deep as never to In- resurrected.

Herein HesCulFee's stronghold on a cotton farm. With markers o regnlate widths of rows, with seed plant rs and riding cultivators, a cotton crop night be made with comparatively little laior; but the pieklhg ah! there comes the ub. In the grass and grain regions agricultural liuclilncs arc displacing tho negroes rapidly, it-cumulating them In the cotton regions pro>er. What is to be in the futures of these if legro suffrage continues? We have no faith n ttie elevation of the negro. If he has the dements of development and progress In I li in how did the races get so much the start if him? How> it that Africa,'with the ex.'eptlon of its northern border, which Is occu>icd by other races, not negroes, has never developed a civilization, whilst Asia, Kuropo, S'orth and South America, In the ancient iVrnviaa and Mexican, all have had theii respective civilizations and have made marked irogress in organizing governments, establshlng complex social systems, and In develipjng literature and arts. Africa alone stands as a blank, a black spot on tlie othervise brightsurfuco on the earth, ilow can ,bcsc fads be explained other than by Inherent inferiority of race. But we do not pro >ose to discuss this mutter here; our aim is iimply to call the attention of tho.se living in he cotton regions proper, to the very grvat mportanceof thorn raisin;; oilier crops than ;otton, whenever It can be done with any profit, for the purpose of preventing Hie con:entration of the negro population on them, ivith its attendant politic.il and social evils. Whilst lookingattheother disadvantages of if raising cotton to buy corn, let us not overlook this one, this subordination of the while Lo the negro race as a direct conseqtence of the all cot ton sy*tcui, to the exclusions of these autumn crops now under com-lderition. , ???nr ,)l(1 AnOttHT very Cflguilt 11-iinuii > intensive cultivation of autumn crops Is that tliey seldom suffer from drought, the scourge of our summer crops. 1 tains are ibundant in winter and early spring, and If land lisis been well prepared, properly manured and crops Ntiirted early enough in the rall.lt is rare for them to fail, even though ;lry weather prevails in the spring. If very liard, compacting rains leave the surface Itard and ernsty under March winds drying nil' proceeds rapidly, and there Is danger of .Tops suffering somewhat: hut this can in jreut measure lie wanle 1 off by timely and repeated harrowing*. Hut, as we have often urged heretofore, the secret of success with winter crops is high manuring, forcing crops forward before spring droughts can do liai ill. Another mul most Important reason for devoting large breadths of land to autumn sropf, is that they counteract, the loss of plant food by leaching, consequent upon the copious rains of winter. This has been most satisfactorily shown by (ho observations of Mr. I.awes at Uothamsted, Knglund. Collecting the water from drainage pipe* in lields covered with growing crops and those naked r?r bare vegetation, ho found little or noplaiit rood being carried oil' from the former, but Tuite large quanities from the latler. To a prudent, far-seeing farmer, this fact alone would be most convincing argument in favor of nutumn crops. Indeed it is a question worthy of careful consideration, whether simply as an nnti-lcnching remedy, und without any reference to laisinga crop or grassings It, it would not pay a farmer to sow rye or ur other grain broad cast in Ills cotton at fho last ploughing of cotton. The last reason we shall mention at present in favor of enlarging the hounds of lutumn crops, is I hut on rolling land they are neat preventives of washing away of the soil by heavy rains, and are also great soil milkers. As every one knows, land set in arras or clover or small grains washes llttlo or none. The smooth level surface does not ?<: tin mutate wafer as dothe middleof rows, and the soil is held in place by the covering of its Klll'lace l>y II1C Iiuillliuue <I| j:inins, Hiiu mo binding of it togeiher l>y their Innumerable fihroiisi roots. It Is not subject to I lie injudicious laying oil rows, which ott! lines accumulate wutfcr at certain points and send it surging down the slope-. Those crops then not only hold the soil already made, lint add continually to It. Each year an additional set nf leaves and roots decay alio become addrd to the soil. The roots descending deeper ard jeeper Into new, raw earth drra.v in it and convert it. Into soil. For the chief difference between soil and subsoil Is the larger amount :if humus in the former. The very best methadone can adopt to Improve and enrich his lands, Is to put it and keep it, for awhile, in some of these autumn crops. There is no better plan to make large crops of cotton, than lo pre-pare it by seeding down the land lor a couple of years in grass or clover, or even in small grain. when the last is well manured and the Held not pastured after harvest. Pilose who have no experience in tho cultivation of grasses and clover would do well to begin on a small scale and faml'larlze themselves with the wants and habits of Ihese plants. We have often mentioned in these columns their requirements: thorough preparation, high manuring fall sowing and light covering of the seed, ect., but there Is nothing like actually seeing and watching >i thine for oneself. Moreover there is hucli ;reat diversity in soils, it Is well to study the adaptability and requirements of tlioe In relation to any particular plant, before venturing upon cultivating it on a large Scale. To Illustrate: clover as a rule, requires only mineral inanities and does not ask for much liurnus lu the soil; butou some- poor soils It will not grow with abundant applications :>( mineral fertilizers. A case In point: Upon a rather strep hillside on our larin were several ''galled spots-"the soil proper had been washed away anq only a. raw clay remained. This was deeply nnd throughly broken with a two hor.-e subsoil plough, well b-m'owed, abundantly dressed with theash of cotton seed hulls, and early in tho Hpriug (Cth jf March) cloverjsecd sown. These came up well. nndalt.hougU the exposure is a northern one, and the seasons have been cool, with sufficient rains, most of the clover has died iiit and none of it is healthy and thriving. Had some nitrogenous manure such as cotton <ecd meal, been added, very diHcrcnt results ivould probably have* issued. It is said that Uit.y bushels of cotton sted per acre will cause clover to grow on very poor land, it alter It Is uj), the clover Is topped dressed with :t mixture one bushel of plaster, two of ashes, mil one peek of sail and lime. Fifty bushels >f cotton seed per acre will make grass grow >n almost.any land; live hundred pounds of :olton seed meal could take the plana of fifty nusliels of cotton seed. In general we would >a.v, prepare land for eloverand grasses Inst as me would for turnips, both as regards ploughtig and manuring. It Is greatly to he hoped that the large crop >f oats harvested, will not prevent the sowing >f an equally large breadth of land In oats igaln this fall. There is far from being grain noii^h in the cotton States to stop the lin ortatioti of It from the West, and by winter, ,hose who)lmve had oats for sate will readily get I'lots or morea bushel. All the laud in cotton low, might be sown In oats or other grain, villi postlve advantage both to each Individlal farmer and the country at large. The exjense of making oil's in this manner Is so sxcecdinjjly small, and the benefit to bind so treat. In preventing leaching nnd washing ,vc urpe this course with the greatest con(P lence. The land now in slubhie will lie amile for a full cotton crop; it will take kindly ill the manure you can give ti cotton crop, nuch more kindly than that now In cotton ind destitute of vegetable matter. Dlminishng the cotton area one half, heavy manuring md high culture with reduced labor account, s the order of the day. and It is one that will nost assuredly pay. War across the waters s likely to create more demand for provisions hat means hluher prices for bread and meat ind probably lower ones fur cotton, should iicli prevail how ridiculous it would bo to aisc cotton to buy provisions. Something1 Green for Hie Pigs. IIow many readers of flic Gnz-ttc have at bis tint oil lot of perhaps pretty well bred ihoatsor pigs confined In unwholesome pens, villi littit! or no shade and poor water, tryng to summer them' through on scant rations >f corn.supplemented possibly by a lew potato leelings and a little dishwater?
