N LOVE MAKES THE" WORLD ROUND. HATTIE TREMAINE TERRY. Sometimes I'm faint and weary .Of this work day world and life, With its endless roand of duties, And all its cares and strife, So tired of unmended stockings, Of huttons-that won't slay on, Of answering unnumbered questions From Harry, Dick and Tom. Tired-of planning the dinners, ; And*furnishing brains for the cook, With scarce au hour of quiet thought, And never time for a book, I marvel that wo as women, Gave up our girlhood's life, And look upon ns the ivorries That fall to mother and wife, Till I envy each single maiden With no greater grief or care Than the cut or fit of a diess, Or the smoothness of her hair. - Unt when the day s work ia over And stilled each'wee lisping tongue, When quiet reigns which all day long. With childish voices has rung, And when in the gathering twilight I draw out the easy chair, I fe el that this world would lie ernply But for loved ones that are there; " / When I think of the Jove that is mine, Tbat ina?ftS my burdens its own, Tm grateful for my lot in life - That I'm. not a maideu lone. And so the problem now is solved, My question an answer found, Twaa ever thu:< and e'er will be, That love makes the world go round. Ue (ailed Him "A Damned Radi cal fuss " The following, from the Qreenvill Daily News, refers to Judge " Slip pery Dick'* Carpenter, who used to preside in Edgefield : On Monday during the trial of J. M. Bright for counterleiting, Alexan der Stewait was put on the stand by the defence to testify lo Blight's in tellectual weakness. In bis argu ment Assistant District Attorney Car penter ridicule?! Mr. Stewart, who is a "solid man" financially aud other wise and was one of the contractors ou the Greenville and Luirens rail road, and made fan of his testimony. This being reported to Mr. Stewart, he walked into-court on yesterday and handed Judge Carpenter an un sealed note reading in s?bstaiice as that you, in snbBtauce, accuse me of ewe^ -%og a lie and havjng enough to do to" t ike care of my own mind. " It is true I have not been blessed with much sense, but I have hilly as much as yourself, and I claim to have a better countenance. "All I ask is for you lo say on the street what you charged behind the bar; then Greek m eels Greek. lean ehow st my home as good character for truth and veracity as you or any other d-d radical. I have been well rai?ed 4o abhor all auch d-d cusses as you are." "ALEX STEWART." This very frank exposition of Mr. Stewart's opinions was brought lo the attention of Judge Bryan, who sent ont and had Mr. Stewart brought into conrt. That gentleman is elderly and somewhat deaf, but he expressed him self as sanguine of his own ability to mash Mr. Carpenter's month, and freely annouueed his willingness to perform that agreeable feat if suitable opportunity was given. He remained obdurate under an impressive lecture from Judge Bryan, and there was a rather tangled discussion of the affair, members of the bar going to Mr. Stewart's aid and citizens being called on to testify of thc provocation giv en by Judge Carpenter's speech. Judge Bryan finally decided to put Mr. Stewart under bond of $2,000 lo keep the peace. Mr. Stewart refused to give it at first, declaiing that he had not broken Hie peace and had only defended himself, and that he would rather go to jail than submit. ---H&AlJflat yiel 'ed to the persuasions of friern??Tand executed the bond, and a somewhat novel legal (or ille gal) incident was at an end. Mr. 3. U'. Bet lis. The State will hear with regret of the death of Mr. B. W. Betti?, the Democratic County Chaii man of Edge field County, which occurred yester day at his residence, near Trenton. Mr. Bettis waa a young man of excel lent education and fine promise, and by his superior worth in many re spect8 had already won a high posi tion in the confidence and regard o bis fellow citizens in Edgefield. Hi; duties as a leader of the Democratic party in his county were of the mos exacting nature and were performet with marked ability.

A New Enemy Discovered to the Cot ton Crop-The Sting of un Insect Destroying lt. Editors Augusta Chronicle : The writer visited with a friend the plantation of Mr. S. 0. Lamkin near Harlem in Columbia county, last Sat urday. We found Mr. L. m his field with a countenance indicating the deepest solicitude. We accosted him and began to praise his crop. Mr. L. at once said : Gentlemen get ont of yor-r buggy and walk through the field with me. I will show you how deceptive appearances are. We fol lowed him and passing through cot ton that would easily have made a bale to the acre, he showed us on uearly every stalk the most frightful ravsges of disease or insects. Nearly evei y maturing boll was touched with the blight and many entirely rotten. This was uot confined to any locality but general over the field. It appears an if au insect had stung each boll, and wherever the spot was seen a yellow streak could be followed in the centre. Mr. L. said that in a few days theso spots enlarged am' the boll became rotten. Samples of the stalks were brought to, the city and left at the Chronicle office for inspec tion. Th? writer also gave one of them to Mr. Cargill, to be exhibited at tho Gotten Exchange. This is not only to be found on Mr. Lamkin a plantation, but on several others in Columbi?.. It was oidy dis co v red about a week, ago hy Mr. L., aud be says if it continues he will make absolutely nothing. Upon in quiry the writer learned that an ar ticle appeared in an agricultural journal in 1879, describing just such a blight in Missis-ippi, and it was dis covered to 1 e an insect that stings the bolls, and decay nt once sets in. But for snob a misfortune there ia no doubt that Mr. Lamkin would have made ut least a bale of cotton to the acre on his crop, but aa it is he cannot gat one-half of that yield. VIATOR. A Letter from Mr. Lamkin. HARLEM, GA., August ll, '85. Messrp. Wheless & Co., Augusta, Ga. th, reqn<?JJCS? .Your nost?! JoI_tha to the "blight or rot" that has ap peared on the cotton in my neighbor hood, received to day. *-i-4i-Qpvered thc rot on the cotton two weeke ago; at fust I did not at t ich much importance to it. In a lew days it made auch rapid progresa I aaw that if it continued until Sep tember at the rate it was spreading I would have very little cotton left. It first appeared in my forward cotton, planted early in April. It is now get ting in the May cotton. I do not think it ?3 spreading so rapidly LOW in the forward cotton as when I first discovered it. > It is now spreading very fast in the late cotton. It has damaged my early cotton at least 20 per cent, in two weeks. It only made its appearance in the May cotton three days ago ; it has not yet dam aged it very much. You ask if it ie general ? It ia on all tho cotton in my neighborhood, more or less, I know of but one crop damaged more luau mine. Mr. Wm. Hendricks' crop was attacked about the same time that mine waa. Farmers who have seeu his crop to-day think it is damaged at least 50 per cent. I saw a larmer from the red lands near Ap piing to day. He Baid it had appear ed on bia cotton, but had not yot done any damage. Yon wish rae to give you the cause. I think it is a small Hy that punctures the boll ami de posits eggs. The egga hatch very sm di white worme that teed on the cotton in the boll and causea the rot. The worms cannot be se. n with the eye until the bolls arc entirely rotten and dry. I opened many of the first bolla that it appeared on to-day and found thom fille ' with email werms not larger than a thread, about one eighth of an inch long. I cannot find a worm in the b. 11s recently affected but think it is because the worm if so smaU cannot be aecn until boll ii rotten and almost dry. My obaervation ia that the Hy firs attacks the bolla that are most ex poaedtothe sun. Tho peculiar i tie of this rot differ from any I have eve seen in cotton. Yourstruly, S. C. LAMKIN. P.

General Grant's book, soon to be published, will contain the following remi?iscence8 of Leo's surrender : "I found General Lee had been brought io'o our linea and conducted to a house belonging to Mr. McLean, and was there with one of his stall' officers waiting my arrival. The head of his column was occupying a hill, a portion of which was an apple or chard,- across a little valley from the court house. Sheridan's forces were drawn up in line of battle on the crest of the hill on the 60uth side of the eame valley. Before stating what took place between General. Lee and myself I will give all there is of the famous apple tree. Wars produce many stories of fiction, some ol' which are told until they are believed. The war of the rebellion was fruitful in thc same way. The story of the np plo tiee is one of tho-e fictions with slight foundation of fact. As I have taid, there was an apple orchard on the side of the hill occupied by the Confederate forces. Running diag onally up the hill was a wagon road, which at one point ran very near one of the treee, so that the wheels on that side had cut. oil* the roots of the tree, which made a little embankment G.m. Babcock reported to me that when he first met Gen. Loo he WHS silting upon this embankment with bis feet in the road and leaning agaiust tho tree. It. was then that Leo was conducted into the house where I first met him. I had known Gen. Lee in the old army, and had served with him in tho Mexican war. but did not suppose, owiug to the difference in our ages and rank, that he would probably remember mo, wliilo I would remember him more distinctly because he was chief engineer on the staff of General Scott in the Mexican war. When I had left the camp that morn i og I had not expected thc result so soon that then was taking place, and consequently was in rough g:irb, and I believe without a sword, as I usu ally was, when on horseback^ on the field, wearing a eoldier's bhjuse- for a coat, with shoulijpjMrt8 RJY rai1^ W lien" I went i ntowH, Bf" 1 "'JUT] 0~ Gen. Lee. Wc greeted each other, and alter shaking hands took our seat?. What his feelings were Ido not know. Being a man of much dignity, and with an impenetrable lace, it was impossible to say whether he felt inwardly glad that the end had finally come, or whether he felt sadly over the result and w is too manly to show it. Whatever his feelings were, they were entirely concealed from ob servation, but my own feelinge, which had been quite apparent on receipt of his letter, were sad and deposed. I felt like anything rather than rejoic ing at the downfall of the foe that had fought so long mid gallantly, and had Buffered PO much for a cause which I believed to bc one of the worst for which people ever fought; and for which there was not the least pretext. 1 do not question, however, the sincerity of tho great mass of those opposed to 119. Gen. Lee was dressed in full uniform, entirely new, and wearing a sword of considerable value, very likely the sword that had been presented by tho State of Vir ginia. At all events it wan an en tirely different sword from one that would ordinarily be worn in the field In my rough travelling snit, whirl was tho uniform of a private will straps of a general, I must have con trasted very strangely with a man RI handsomely dressed, six feet high, o faultless form. But this was not f matter I thought of untu afterward General Lee and I soon fell into con vernation about old army limes. H remarked tkut he remembered m very well in tho old army and I tol bim, as a maller of course, I reinem bered him perfectly, bul owing to th difference in years, there being abou sixteen yeare difference in our agei ami our rank, I thought it very likel I had not attracted hifl attention su ficiently to be remembered after sue a long period.
