We thought, tlicit that llicy were mortal enemies?if they could uct ai cach other. < >uc day l.isi wei I: the cry of "mad dog" was heard, i.nd the dog in the piazza was the vie-; tlni. It was a touching sight to see a few days later thed^t: on the street run up and down the sidewalk, bal king and watching alltction-. ately for the sight of liis brother to come, that j th* y might romp and play as of yore.

C., May ir?, lSIKl. 1 ('apt. I!. K. Tiiluiau: In the newspaper reports of your speech at. Anderson on .May 1" ,>'1111 siiv reported sis diamine substantially ; that the department of agriculture hsis peri:iitli'cl t he fanners of South Carolina to he defrauded in the purchase of commercial fertilizers hy failure to punish manufacturers whose goods fall below their guarantee . You jsuv fur.ther reported to have said that you ; could prove all that you charge, and quoted , from theaunusil report of the department for [the year IShO sis authority upon which to sus| tain your statement. [ The legal penalty in regard to deficient fertilizers is seizure, condemnation and sale, and | because this penalty lias not been Indicted iyou deny that any other penalty has been imposed. This provision of the law cannot be en forced lor the sufficient reason that when the analyses are made, the fertilizers have been put In the around and are out of the reach of sin action of the kind prescribed. This defect ill tin- law has been reported to the Ijeglslsiture, and could have been amended if Unit body thought it necessary or desirable. That this has not been done forces me to the conclusion ill..I the representatives of the people honestly believed that the existing laws were sufficient, or that the action of the department it self lent made amendments unnecessary. Wliili', therefore, we have not seized anil sold deficient fertilizers. we have detected ami exposed sill deficiencies,as the very report from which you quoted shows. i-'imliii^r that the law did not reach the case as contemplated. the denartment resorted to ttic publication of the manufacturers guarantee a!oug-ide of the official ahmyses, printing in italics those brands falling below the guarantee. TnN directed attention Immediately to all deficient brands. It should be understood, however, that llie department has never undertaken to exercise the Judicial authority to declare which, if any, of such brands wee fraudulent. This penalty, voluntarily Imposed by the department, was, after detection, put upon every brand no mutter how slight the deficiency. 1 nunc case this deficiency amounted to only one one-hundredth < I 1 percent, of potash, the cheapest ingredient used in commercial fertilizers. Thodepartment con Id not say that this was a fraud any more than it could officially pronounce oilier brands fraudulent where the diIterance was greater. Just what constitutes fraud is a question to be determined by the Courts alone. There may be a difference of opinion as to whether merely exposing the deficiency was suilicient punishment,hut the Legislature has so regarded it. because it has for ten years failed to provide other punishment, even after i... ,i.? i.,?. i j.ttW.inllv r,._ hut ucicvm in vnc mn wvu ? v ported. Itut the host evidence of the effect of this method of punishment is found in the >uiiso(|nent reports of the department. Tiiis plan [<>f italicising deficient. brands] was first a<l?ple<l iii tss-t. An cxnmination of our reports since Hint, time will show tliul there has been a steady improvement in tlie value ol fertilizers. Il w?i? not expected thai ft would, in one season, result in bringing every 'brand up to the guarantee, because new brands were bein^ Introduced every year, and the manufacturers of such brands, not bavins; realized the effect of this penally, might take risks tiial those who inul been once exposed would afterwards avoid if possible. With tlie exception of the ammonlated fertilizers in a single season, the improvement in the grade of fertilizers has been marked, fake, for instance, the very report that you so garbled in making your charges. It is t here siiowti that the averages of the manufacturers i'ii iruutees for am mutilated fertilizers for that season were: Available phosphoric acid S.22 percent Ammonia 2.18 per cent . otash 1.4!? per cent t'otumeicial value 7!) per ton The averages of the analyses by ourchenii.-t were: Available phosphoric aeid per cent Ammonia U.fil percent Potash ?17 percent C.i:iiiner<i:il value Si I 17 net" ton Now this shows that., taking the general sties throughout the State, these goods lor thai s-ms >!i exceeded the manufacturers guaran cos in: Vvai a'i!' phosphoric acid 1.<K per cent nuiioaiu 0.1:1 per ccnl i'nia.-h (l.iJS per cent t'otnmcrciai value $ 1! OS per Ion Why did y?ni not explain this also? Was it boc:in<e you hnd d<-Icrnilncd to denounce the dop.irt ui.-nl ol' agriculture regardless of facts ami simply made use of sueli garbled extracts . k ssii i o.l the purpose you had in view* Iain loreed to that,conclusion. This is confirmed iiy the further reply you are said to have niudeuhcii you were silked what hi-cume ol the money of the department, and replied that you "diil not know." The report in which you found so much to condemn contained, as yon well knew, an itemized statement of every expenditure made by the depart incut, for that year. You therefore did know the purposes for which it had been expended, and your answer was worse than a dniple evasion of the question. You have assumed that all fertilizers found deficient are fraudulent, and that in all such oases the farmers are swindled. The agricultural value of many brands of this character U not.alleeU-d by the slight deficiencies detect ed. but all are published because consumers loivea i-ll?111 to Know the exact results obtain i'U. It Is often the case that the comincrcial valu<* of such fertilizers exceeds the guarantee; hut, there being a difference between commercial and agricultural values, we regard and treat any brand falling below the guarautceof any element of fJlant food as "deficient." Vou.ignorantly or maliciously, take extracts from a tab!" compiled in this way t<> show that ''deficient" fertilizers are fraudulent. The imperfections In the fertilizer laws have b.-en admitted and pointed out. ?nd efforts made to correct them, hut nut :i tint is done the departmento''agriculture cm only execute such laws as exist. At the risk of again being charged with collusion with I he manufacturers. I will say that, in my opinion, based upon ollicial experii nee for tlie last U n years, Hie manufacturer who deliberately and intentiom.lly attempts to defraud the firmers is Lite exception; and, liirmcr, i iiiiii hi ntsi; wmivthis has hern attempted it liu? fuib'tl of success because of tiie department's supervision, [f you ki.ow anything to tlie contrary you should state it. I therefore challenge you to point to one instance where the fanner* have been defrauded by in1111 inci urers ot fertilizers where such (rami was net. published with all the power Mat the departmeiit lu.d at its cointnand.and c!> tin-.lid tliiit jtiH make u?tod your cliiiraeor retra el it.

AND HIS WIFE SUSANNA FOSTER McCASLAN. I Like "Saul mill Jonathan. they were Lovely an<l I'leasant in their Live*. mid in their Death tliey were not Divided." Southern Presbyterian. There recently died In Abbeville county S. I'.,ill the advanced n?e ol eighty yours, Mr M O. McCaslan and wife. In some respects the most remarkable couple of that section of country, which furnished so inanv distinguished individuals. Horn In the same community that gave to the world John 0. Calhoun, George McDullie. James I,. I'eilfiru, and others, his name unlike theirs is unUnown to fame; but in his sphere in lile lie was in the truest sense a (jreal man. In the light of eternity many of the greatest naii'es of earth will lose their lustre and fade Into obscurity or oblivion. whilst the unknown great of earth win "shine as the brightness of the llrmamcnl." anil "us the stars"lor ever and ever."' Among the latter will be the name of M. O. McCu-lan. He and his wife were horn within six months of each other: he, Dec. 7lh, tsOtl; and she, .Iline 171 li, 1S10; and died within six weeks of each other: lie, Feb. 5th, 1S90; and she, March 21st, ltfJ'. They were horn, llvitl, and died in t h?? same community. They Joined Hopewell I'resbyteriun church the same year under the ministry of Father Held, about ISj", and were married by Rev. Isaac Waddell, Dec. 1st h, 1NM). His liulier, Robert McCaslnn, emigrated to Abbeville from County Antrim, Ireland, and was one of the lir*t members of Hopewell church one hundred years ago; nnd although twice elected elder, he declined to serve on account of his extreme modesty. Thro of his iive sons were elders and his two daughters married otlieers in the church. His third son, M. O. McCaslun, the subject of this sketch, was elected eider about lS-52, and served in that capacity nearly sixty years. Seldom was he absent froin his accustomed place in the sanctuary. As fur back as the memory of the writer goes, he cannot recall even one single occasslon upen which tiIs -eat was vacant. For many years it fell to his lotto have the entire care of the church buildinii; and theamountof time, labor, anil thought which he gave to it. is known only to the Master whose eye is upon ai! bis servants. He served the church in every capacity, as leader of the music, superintendent of the Sabbath-school, and the mo vine spirit in ev??.. i.,,.,A..?ln.,l ai.tiiniiien 14 /i Iava.I tlto courts of the Lord's house; and the entire sjtli Psalm, "How amiable arc thy tabernacles," etc., was in wrought into his experience us u large fHclur or his spiritual existence More than ail Ills brethren he represented his church in I'resoytery. and South Carolina Irtsbytery Uas few elders that have sat in its sessions in the last sixty years more frequently than lie. He was not an educated man in modern sense, but was endowed by nature with rare sifts, and by his energy and diligence he acquired a large amount of property, and was a recognized man of influence and wealth until like so many others his fortune was wrecked by the war. He made large investments in the "bank of heaven,'1 and laid up much treasure "where moth doili not corrrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal." As lie had a noble ancestry, so he was honored in liis children and decendants. Ills only son, Cant. It. F. McCashin, was llrst a deacon and is now an elder in the Ninety-Six church, and represented South Carolina Presbytery 111 the last General Assembly at Chattanooga, Tenn, One daughter married Rev. J. A. Lowry, of Alabama, and two others married oUlcers in the church. One grandson is Rev. S. Ij. Morris, of Macon, CJa., and a jrandjiaughter married Rev. E. 1*. Davis, oi Winston, N. C. Another grandson, It. F. .Morris, Is at present an elder in Hopewell, the same church so long and so faithfully served by the grandfather. His wife was Susanna Foster, daughter of one of the most prominent and wealthy gentlemen of that period. Hers was a 11 to oi self-sacrifice, suffering, and toiling for others. She lived to serve other people. The poor, ( he si?k, the atllicled, the orphan, I he mourner, had in her a "ministering angel." She bore many a burden not her own, and shed many a tear of sympathy for the sorrow of others. In her death that community lost its most competent historian. No one else possesses the Information which died with her. No living Individual could trace family alliances and ancestry as far back as she could. I he writer often purposed to write out the information which she alone could furnish, but, alas, neglected it till too lute ! Never was there a more hospitable house than theirs, and many a preacher of the gospel has occupied "the prophet's chamber," and found such a warm welcome that he never again felt a delicacy in testing their hospitality. II there ever lived a couple of whom It could be said they were "generous to a fault," this was that couple. They were simple-hearted, sincere, and entirely consecrated to the service of Christ and his church. Their sainlshlp began on earth, and it was but an easy transition for them from grace to glory. They are now gone from among us ! They have entered upon "the rest that rcmaineth unto the people of God." They are with that vast multitude "thatenme out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb." They have exchanged the service, the loll, the suttering of earth for the glory and blessedness of heaven. Well done, good and faithful servants! I test in your peaceful honored graves! Kest in the arms of Jesus, "safe on his gentle breast!" Home at last! Itest In your eternal habitations in our Father's house of many mansions ! Will we ever see their like again? May Godsend us many more such noble spirits as "ministering spirits'1 to suffering humanity and as followers of Christ to carry forward the work of the Lord! May the mantle of Klijah full upon some worthy Elisha! CORNER COMMENTS. Picnic lit Ki'H'iii'n M i II... I>im<roi? of Lcaviiif Horses Hitched to Plows ? Editorial Visit--.Other flutters. Due West. s.

Owing to the recent unprecedented amount of drunkenness and di>or<letly conduct on our public square and elsewhere in town, the town council have wisely concluded to put on an extra policeman to guard the town in the night lime. Mr. Joseph S. Hammond is now on duly evcry night,as the extra police force,and lor tlie last few nights loafers and drunkards have been made to hustle oil'of our public square after ten o c!o:-k. If tills rule of makiugdrunkards get oil' the square is continued, we will hear less vulgarity and profanity in the midnight hours, and fewer of our people may be slain. As a further good oi bavins; a liisht watchman on guard at night, the occupants of one house have been reported to the council lor keeping a disorderly house, and better order may hereafter prevail in that direction. Two arrests of railroad hands were made last week : A negro man was drunk and disorderly on the square. When arrested a piilr of metal kiineks was found in his pocket, ii > was put In the guard house. After being bsought before the council next morning, l.e was sent to the council Jail under charge of carrying concealed weapons, and it is thought he will explain the matter to the Court in June. A white man, connected with the railroad force which was psssing through town on the way to Atlanta last Friday evening, raised a row. nnd was arrested. The next day he settled with the town council, hut the fact that a pair of kiiucks whs found in liis pocket cost Inm much more. Being arrested on a charge of currying concealed weapons, lie was released only after Indeposited to insure his presence at Court. Of course he will not. come. He was a contractor on the railroad, but could not write his name. The Alignment I!as liexnn. Charleston World. The alignment lias begun.

Gary conies forward as a candidate for the position of attorney-general on the Tillman ticket, lie Is no doubt ready and anxious to relieve the head of the ticket of al least a portion of (lie arduous work, which will be the necessary accompaniment of a thorough canvass of the state. So far Tillman has borne without flinching the brunt of the lire, but now (hat this first candidate for the otliee of attorney general has placed himself also upon the platloriu of the .March convention, wo may look for a pretty general alignment ol candidates within the next week or so; for the aspirants for office must declare themselves for one side or the other if they desire to be remembered by the delegates wiki will attend the convention to be held 011 September 10 iu Columbia. Jletwcen now and that date we will have, in South Carol.na, the first genuine political campaign, experienced by this slate l.S-i7, and lie who wears an honor at lite close, must win It in the struggle. The World believes, that the campaign itself will do good, it. will bring oui (he lull Democratic vote l<> the primaries, and will thoroughly awaken tlie interest of the people, forcing tliein to take an active part in the contest, and, by satislj'ing them that the choice of (he convention is tnc choice of the peopie, do away with thai feeling ol discontent w hich lias found vent in murmurs and accusations to misrule, for here will he a fair test of the opinions of the majority.

Newport, Kv?, May 17.?'The wife of John Korb, GO years of age, living on the river road near Four Mile, was to all appearances dend last Monday, after a loner snell of sickness. The body was prepared for burial, and oil Wednesday, while the pallbearers were carrying the casket from the church, they heard a noise inside the coffin, and upon removing the lid the woman was found to be alive, but too weak to speak. The greatest consternation among relatives and others in attendance ensued. When the womau opened her eyes, women screamed and ran about as if demented. Some fainted. Many of the men lost Iheir presence of minu, ami it was only when the woman sat up that aid was extended. She could not speak, and was evidently frightened at her situation. She was taken into the church and made comfortable while a physician was sent for. Before he arrived the woman moaned, started to an upright position, and fell back lead. The physician on arrival pronounced her dead, and she was buried at once. There is much excitement in the neighborhood, aud many believe she should not Have beeu buried.
