Somebody se.:ais to be making special efforts 1.1 have the accusa-] tions made aga.ust George John stone by friends of Col. D. Wyatt Aiken in Newberry published as1 widely as possible. 'There is no method so sure to secure a man'si success as the bringing of false charges which are easily disprovedi against him. -1 Col. 1). Wyatt Aiken delights in posing as the farmer's friend andi apearing be fore the pubmlic as ai horny handed son of toil. His1 friends, not cointent with sustaining him in this perfectly harmless com edy, now seek to create the impres son that Mr. Jlohnstonc is thme far mer's enemy, and industriously cir ulate the story that that gentlemani declared in a speech in Columbia that the agricultural interest was becoming too strong and would have to be throttled to prevent it front absorbing the power of the State. Now Col. Y. J. Pope, of Newberry, putblishes the statement of~ the five gentlemen composing the committee to which the speech alluded to was made. They unite in declaring that Mr. Johnstone did not then or at any other time to their knowledge attack the agrical tural interests of the State. What ie did say was that an effort was being made to give the Board of Agriculture power over the dispo sition of certain phosphate rights which should piroperly b)e left with the people through their representa tives in the Legislature, and that that Board was acquiring too much p)ower and should be checked. That is the whole story and its dissem ination will surely show the people the truth andi gain their sympathy for a slandered man. One of the witnesses called by Col. Pope is Maj. E. B. Marray, of Anderson, whose response in de fence of his opponent by a prompt and frank statement of the facts is magnanimous. manly and exceed ingly creditable to him. He evi dently has- no tolerance for the methods used by Col. D. Wyatt Aiken's friends and supporters, in luding the sweeping application of offensive epithets to men who have offended in nothing except in daring to oppose Col. Alken's desire to retain- his clutch on oftlee, and the . idespread publioAtion of A.a ' dmaamaakdfuEd eharges against his leading oppo sent. We have heretotore opposed Col. Aiken's re-election because we be ieved him to be the enemy of the >ublic schools and of the unity of Lhe democratic party. The opposition will be none the less strenuous after the friends of the member from the Third Die. ,rict, presumably with his approval, ienounce men like George John 3tonc, R. E. Bowen and E. B.

C., July 14, '84. Dear Sirs :-In closing my letter I ;o Col. Johnstone, published in gour last weeks issue, I said that >wing to my afflictions I could not ! write more extendedly then. I would have done so, however, if I ad supposed that what I wrote would have been construed as re lecting upon those gentlemen who 3ad previously published state nents, as coming from me, in ref irence to Col. Johnstone. I have always entertained the kindest feelings of friendship, for 301. hIolioway and for Mr. Sligh md I would not, under any cir mstances, do either of them an njustice, and it is for this reason Ihat I will trouble you to allow me ;pace in your paper for a few more ines in regard to this matter. I desire to explain more fully han I have done the statement nade by me, upon which Mess. Eolloway and Sligh made their statements, and I will. Jo this as riefly as possible and I hope sat sfactorily. A bill was before the Legislature >roposing to give certain powers to he Agricultural Department, in ,onnection with the phosphate in erest and that in my opinion were iecessary for the proper develop nent of the phosphate territory. ['his bill was recommended by Mr. . . Roche, the Special Assistant )f the Department, and who is in mmediate charge of the phosphate nterests,and had my approval. It I assed the Senate and went to he House; was reported favorably )y the House Committee on Mines Lnd Mining; and had two readings n that body. On the third reading t was opposed by Col. Johnstone, ipon whose motion it was referred ;o a special committee and he was ippointed Chairman. This com nittee reported adversely upon the i11. I wa; very much surprised at his action as I supposed that the All would commend itself to at east a majority of the committee, md ii enquired the objections tp it, nd was informed that Mr. John itone had used the argument before he committee that the Department >f Agriculture was seeking powers ~hat it ought not to have and that mless it was restricted it would1 ave to be throttled. I was very1 ndignant because I felt that this was an unwarrafited and unjustifia le attack upon theDepartment and I Simmediately to Mr. Johnstone mr. ....lked with him about it. He lid not deny using this argument hen ;and in talking with Mr. Jos. L eitt recently I repeated this state nent and told him that I did not sppose that Mr. Johnstone would leny it now. At the time this matter occurred n the Legislature, and subsequent .y, I talked with some of my friends, mong them Mr. Sligh and Col. Rolloway about,.it and doubtless showed some feeling in the matter mecause from the information I had received I believed that it was an ~ffort to lessen the usefulness ot :he Department, and this I regarded s detrimental to the agricultural nterests of the State. I have since :alked with Col. Johnstone and he ias assured me that he had no such ntentions and I have regretted :hat in my own mind and possibly y what I have said, did him an injustice. I regret also that my language was such as to mislead Mr. Sligh nd Col. Holloway. and I desire to add that I know they did not in bnd to misrepresent any thing that ass. Respectfully, A. P. BUTLER.

His figure was a ittle above the medium in height and trength. His features indicated a trong will and a sunny disposition ; a ull beard covered his face. In early dauth he worked as a stonemason, and it twenty began to carve letters on ,ombstones and to make models in a narble-yard. In the course of the iext sixteen years he made a large mnmber of gd busts of such men as Andrew Ja2son, Cassius Clay and lolin J. Crittenden. In 1849 he went o Florence, Italy, to put into marble is model of. Clay's statue, made for he "Ladies' Clay Association," of Richmond, Virginia. On this model nd statue he worked, with inter nissions, for thirteen years. In 1867 ie completed the statue of Clay now n the court-house of Louisville. His >ther important works are a fioe copy f the Venus de Medici, a bust called 'Penserosa," representing a handsome soman with downcast eyes; the -Morning-glory," a beautiful little girl iolding a morning-glory in one hand and her scant, flower-filled gown in the )ther; an exquisite lady-like hand Lud wrist resting on an outstretched ove; a colossal bronze statue of'Vlay or New Orleans, and "Beauty's Tri mph." All of these works are great nid will ever be highly esteemed, but is fame must chiefly rest on the 'Triumph of Beauty." Of this he felt ssured, and with pleasure and conf lence staked all his meed of praise on hat great work, making it the chief ifort of his genius. the bright dream nd solace othis laborious life.

In Its success our people are amost as much interested as those of Kentucky, from the fact that whatever :ends to advance her interests cannot al to affect us favorably also. The Ex ~ositionwill be a splendid medium. if we lesire to use It, through which to ad ertise the great capacities of this State and we earnestly hope some action will e taken by our citizens looking to a representation; with a little exertion on .heir part. an exhibit of onr mineral, gricultural. :and manufacturinmg pro ucts can be collected and sent to Lon sville, whmich~ will repay a thousand old all the expense connected there with.
