The farms of our country enruhes every one but those who work them. The cotton plant blesses every land ! bat the one that gave it birth and the time has come for it to bestow it3 birthright nearer home, and the ap pearpnees are that that is going to be done at no distant day. The time is neariDg for this wandering exile to return to her native land and wor ship at th^shiine of her native cradle and unite with her sister industries in a fervent prayer to the creator cf all nature to bless my 'Home, Sweet Home." If we will feed our cotton seed to sheep and cattle and get the milk, butter, beef, mutton and wool, we have the finest market in the universe for them and at a profit that no land on earth can ever ! pay and no other investment can ever give. Oar farmers give their cotton seed away for $12 50 for a hundred bushels and buy guanos and inferior fertilizers back?that one hundred bushels of cotton j=?ed is worth and will biing in beef $50 00 if fed to cattle and sold. If they are properly stabled and the compost saved, that i3 more valuable than aDy ton of guano on the market. If little dry feeds and pastures are furnished the cotton seed and compost can easily reach $100.00 of real v gold or silver?and for it we have taken $12 50. The oil in the seed makes them too laxative on the cow or sheep and should be feed with dry feeds and pastures and in this way our worn lands in pastures and some of our fine lands in hay or forage crops pays us very handsomely. We sell a bushel of peas for from \ 40 to 75 cents. If we would put it on an acre of average land and plow it under, no five dollars in guano can take the place as a fertilizer. Every little peavine is a first class guaDO manufacturer on a small scale and of a fine quality, much ahead of any0 thing we buy. From day to day it is collecting the fertility from the air and storing it in cur fields for the master's use next season. Oue bushel of peas has been known to catch and ?s rmifh ammonia as we can get out of 1200 or 1100 pounds of cotton seed meal, but it will need acid phosphate and potash in some shape to make it a first class and perfect manure. These we can get very cheap, for it is the ammonia that costs and Dature stands ready to open her docra and give a welcome to the farmer to her unlimited store. But a greater gaiu will be given if we cut off the vine and feed to sheep and cattle and return the compost to the lands. The roots and other vegetable matter makes a large yield to , the field and well repays. Every bushel of peas are sold at from$l 50 to $5.00 per bushel that a farmer can sow on his worn out, tired fieldr, simply as a renovator if they can be no other profit from them whatever. Corn and peas fed prudently to stock will return in flesh and fertilizer. $1.00 to $2 00 per bushel. The various sacrifices in sheep, bullocks and heifers of the Hetrc-w law made tfcem of certain sale at good ptice?, and rendered those industries very 1 rje. Sheep and cows having the power to convert the grass and vegetation of Caanau into flesh, clothing, milk and money in such a short time made this historic land the marvel of antiquity and the wonder cf the surrounding nations, and it was ever a coveied prizs for the revenues that Israel could always raise- A combined stock and farm system is the hope of our future and in that and Dot in pure silver, tho ownership and control of railroads, telegrsph lines, &c., will our hopes ever be realized. There would soon cone a time when we would have more grain and hay than we co-uld use, more ilesh than the county could consume, more milk, butter andebeese than to supply the demand and transportation of products would give to all classes '-bread and butter" and to the common carriers commerce and prosperity, and with the other good and gracioua gifts would be independence to tbe farmers. Oar farms produce diets that should make us tbe heartiest and mo3t loDg lived of ali classes of men-- Oar rustic tables for health and happiness do even new "set at naught" the kingly banquets. The hale, hearty, bright eyed, barefooted boys aud girls that daily gather around our tables need not envy those who sit at the royal feaets. The farmers wife who sits down her husband and children at night to a repast and supper on a sweet corn hoecako and fresh, cool buttermilk, prepares her family for a quiet, delightful, happy rest, denied to the inmates of the monarch's heme. A little more providence and foresight would make his home that fairy land from which the loved ones would not long to wander. There is no need of our boys seeking peace and nrnsneritv in the mercantile world r - ~ - at ? nor in the busy marts of trade. Our country girls can find useful employment and spend a happy life and not find her way to some town or public ' DRclftrfts if Is the and Tonic Made from Georgia's There is not one person in a hundre< whose system can successfully with stand the severe drains of the Sprinj season without the*aid of a tonic.

The doctor gave | ^ im very strong stimulants from j ^ rhich he rallied a little, but later in j ' w he afternoon he began to sink. Tbe j ^ octor said he could not live long, j ut the end was not expected so ' oon in the night.

The first news of Governor Eiler- j te's death reached the city last night ^ hrough a telegram from the chief ^ xecutive's brother to Private Secre- | a] ary Evans. While it was of course j iot unexpected, the announcement [ c ailed forth many expresssions of j orrow. In official circles the news j ai ras received with the most profound ! p( orrow, and at once preparations be- j p ;un for the official family to attend 0, he funeral at Sellers. tl Mr. McSweoney, owiDg to the p leath of the governor, now becomes g governor of South Carolina, it being r< nly necessary to appear before a le oagistrate or notary, if he so desires j; nd take th9 oath of office. It is un- tl lerstood, however, that Mr. McSweeley wili decline to be sworn in as e< governor until after the funeral of it he deceased chief executive. w Mr. McSweeney in his telegram oi xpressed the deepest sympathy at es he sad announcement of the govertor's death. ! a Mr. H.van9 also Eolihed by wire j l? be two United States senators, the J ai even congressmen and a number of j E he dead governor's most intimate J fc >ersonal and political friends. | a: He then saw that all the State I p louse officials were notified.

Governor Ellerle was a practical trme-r, and in his early youth bis ; auds were hardened by constant j mtact with the plow and hoe ban- j les. He always applied himself ; eadily to his business, aud was icccssful in his chosen pursuits, j ad whilst it was not necessary after ! b reached manhood's estate that he lould engage in the manual labor of I ie farm he was fully qualified for ! ork of aDy kind that should be ?un.d necessary. Governor Eilerbe went from a i immon school in hi3 own county to | r'eftord College at Spartanburg, but j efore graduating there he entered j auderbilt University. On account j i ill health he was prevented from j nisbiDg his course at the latter in- : itution, and, returning to bi3 home, j )ck up the pursuit of farming as his j fe work. In the memorable campaign of 1S90 i ie same convention that Dominated j 'apt. B R. TillmaD for Governor, ] nd in wLich the Reformer?, of j ourse, were largely in the majority, | iere were two men nominated for ; jrnplroller General. Messrs. Stokes j ad Elleibe, the latter being a smooth j iced young map, very boyish in ap- ! earance aod entirely unknow in pol i ics. He was regarded by his friends 3 a moderate Reformer. His oppo- ' onent was a much more extreme 1 artisan. The vote showed Ellerbe's ppjnent to De in the lead, but at j re solicitation of a Columbia news- I aper man four of the Richland dele- j aticn-chaDged their votes before the j jsult was announced, and Mr. El- | :rbe was nominated by a small ma- j irity. He did not make a speech in } rat campaign. j Iu lSi)2 Mr. Eilerbe wasrenomioat- j 3 and elected Comptroller. This j upartant office, for the four years he : as at its head, was acknowledged a all sides to have been ably, hon3tly and impartially conducted. In lSt'-l they had what wa3 called Reform primary? a scheme to let J leformers choose their candidates n.d shutting out Conservatives. Mr. j lilerbe entered this as a candidate i >r Governor against Evans, Tindal nd Pope. He was opposed to the lan which shut him off from the apport of all the people, but in the auditions then existing be was help- : ;ss. The result of the contest was oe nomination of John Gary Evans. . free for-all primary would have undoubtedly resulted in the choice of llierbe. Iu the summer of 189G, Mr. Eilere again announced himself a candiate for Governor and received sevens-odd thousand vote3 as against 7,000 as the combined strength of Iessrs. Harrison aod Whitman, al < hough Senator Harrison was a man | f considerable political strength in ; he State. Governor Ederbe assumed the gu- j >ernatorial duties with a large folowiug of all classes, more than any tber Governor has had since Governor Richardson's retirement, ud every one predicted for him a j afo and prosperous administration. Time rolled on. The Charleston j aetropolitan police force and other omplications, too numerous to mtn > ion, characterized his administration, ie had a hard time of it from first o la-t. Then the campaign last summer a me on. The Governor stood for e election. The story of that cam nign is still fresh in the minds of ill.

It was the celebration of Children's Diy. The regular programe of the M E. Church was used, and the children recited their pieces admirably, which proved that they had been very carefully trained, and the largo congregation that assembled in the church were richly edified as they listened to their efforts on this special Tension. The singing was under the sole direction of Mrs. F. M. Hodge, assisted by the choir. She acted her part nobly and proved beyond the shadow cf a doubt that she was mistress of the organ, as it peeled forth the delightful strains of music, under her management. It was an inspiration indeed to hear the school sing Hip twn sneeial son^s on the Dro ~r o - ? A. gram. Swansea can boast cf that which not many towns can boast of-that is her gift in singing. We have heie ladies and gentlemen who can sing, and sing almost perfectly, and it is a treat indeed to hear them use their voices in this high and noble art. Hon. W. H. F. Rrst, as Superintendent, lead the services, and his address to the children showed taste and culture. He is a loyal and true man in the Sunday school work; in training and teaching the children into the principles of a true, honest and Christian life, and I am sure that his work will indeed bear fruit in future year3 to come. The Baptists also joined us on this occasion, and their help was highly appreciated and added very much to the success of the day. Brother Quattlebaum's closing prayer was very touching, and to the writer was indeed a blessing, a blessing not to him alone, but to those who heard it. SAMUEL r. HAP.SEV. Midst the gay and joyous scenes o? life we are maDy times brought fee) to face with that dieaded enemy death, and seemingly strange to say, that in its woik, it is no respecter of person. The little babe is snatched suddenly from its mother's bosom, the little boy and girl, just merging into the joyous pathway of life, is also suddenly, without a moments warning, cut loose from the tree of life. Then we see the young man and maiden just entering into a lire of usefulness, inve-ting their influence for future success in the pathway of life. They, too, have to shake hands with lb!3 dreaded enemy death, and we see them cut down in the bloom of young manhood. Aud as the autumu leaves of old age begin to fall on the grey, silvery locks of time and years, midst the j >y and gay pleasures of this world, old men and women are also taken away to join in the sad, sad, cortagc of death's travelling multitude. 0! death, the poor man's dearest friend, the kindest and the best. Welcome the hour my aged limbs are laid with thee at rest,.the great, the wealthy, fear thy blow fiorn pomp and pleasure torn. But Oh! a blest relief to these that weary-laden mourn. But apart from these sad scenes what is more nobler, more sublime than an honest true, Christian man, as some one has said "an honest man the noblest work of God."
