LOT OF EX-PRESIDENTS. Som? I ??? ?ho Whiife Kout? IO Fill Older Offices -What Others Dltt There bas been some discussion of what has boen called tho "problem :" What shall we do with our ex-Presi dents? The record of our ex-Presi dents seems to show that to them personally it was uot a problem. Some rotired to their estates and lived as gentlemen of leisure, de voting themselves to their private business, and receiving nothing but honor at tho bauds of thoir fellow oitizens. Others re-ontered their professions and others continued in .public life, says tho Washington Tost. Washington was ovideutly glad to Tetiro from public office when his second term as President ended, to resume tho congenial life of gentle man farmer at Mount Vernon. There he resided, occasionally, visitiig xrieuds in Georgetown and entertain ing hospitably after tho fashion of the time, and there he dira, ou the 17th of December, 179P, in tho 07th year of his age. John Adams returned to "that quiet home near the roadside in Quinoy." Ile was appointed a Presi dential elector, a?:d voted for Jamen Monroe, and lived to see his son President of the United States. Ho died on the 4th of July, 1826. Adams' laut words were : "Thomas Jefferson still survives." As a mat ter of fact, Jefferson had just passed away. Jefferson wont away from the White House to his estate of Monti cello, and lived there for seventeen years, until his death, July 4, 1826. Monroe returned to his home at Oak Hill, in Loudan county, Va. There he lived sovon years, and then went to New York with one of his .daughters. He, too, died on tho 4th of July, in tho year 1831, just five years from tho day that John Adams .ind Thomas Jefferson had expired. ELECTED TO CONGRESS. John Quincy Adams retired to his ancestral home at Quinoy. Here he -occupied himself in preparing a memoir of his father, and also pro jected a history of the United States. In 1830, Plymouth district proposed sending Mr. Adams to Congress. At first it was thought that an ex-Presi dent would regard the office as too great a contrast with his former one. Upon this doubt being expressed to him, Adams replied : "No person could bo degraded by serving the people in Congress. Nor, in my .opinion, would au ex-President of the United States be degraded by serving as a selectman of his town, if thereto elected." Ho took his seat in Congress in 1881, having been .elected by the National Republican, soon to be known as thc Whig party. He died February 28, 1848, two days after a stroke of paralysis received .Ahile in the House. . Jackson left the White House, a .nan of 7i?, and returned to the til e estate of the Hermitage, where he spent several happy years as a planter. He died June 8, 1845. Van Huron, after being defeated for a second term, tnado an extensive tour in Europe. Ile returned to Lindenwald, Iiis fino estate at Kinder hook, where he died July 24, 1802. IN CONFEDERATE CONQRE88. Tyler left tho Executive Mansion for his home at Sherwood Forest, Va. He caine to Washington and presided nt the Peace Congress in Willard Hall, which was held just before tho inauguration of Abraham Lincoln, Ho afterward became a member of the Confederate Congress, and died January 18, 1802. Polk, immediately after thc expira tion of his Presidential incumbency, ?nade a jonrnej to the far South, where his home, a beautiful mansion on Grundy's Hill, at Nashville, awaited him. II? succumbed to cholera June, 8th, l*l!>. Two years after tho close of his administration, Fillmore visited Eu rope, where he was the object of s many gratifying attentions. He re turned home to receive a nomination for the Presidency by the "Know Nothing" wing of his party ; but James Huchanan carried tho olootion. Tho remainder of his life was passed an rotirernent. He died at his home in vBuffalo, Maroh 8, 1874. B'ierce returned to his homo at ?Concord, where he died < >ctoher 8, 4860. Buchanan retired, amid the storm ?of civil strife, to his beautiful home at Wheatland, an estate about a mile / from Laucaeter, where ha died Juno! 1, 1808. SK KV KI? IN TIIK SKN'ATK. .Johnson served in the Senate after tbe close of bis Presdenlial term. He died suddenly while visitiug his youngest daughter al Carter's Sta tion, Tonn., IQ July, 1875. Grant's famous tour of the world was made shortly after the close of his second Presidential term. Ho afterward resided in New York oity and at Long Br?inob, where he had a Hummer cottage, tu 1880 a deter mined effort was made by tho Re publican party lo nominate bim tor a third term. He was unfortunate in business transactions, but left a mod est fortune for his widow hy writing bis memoirs during bis lingering and fatal malady. He died, of cancer of] tbe throat, July 23, 1885. Hayes returned to the home of his j young manhood, in Fremont, Ohio, still in the primo of his years. His last notable appearance in Washing ton was as a plain "comrade" in a Grand Army parade. He died at Fremont, January 17, 18?KJ. When Arthur retired from the Presidency aud returned to New York, he was still in the prime of life, and there was every reason to suppose that many years lay before him. But in the following year he had a severe attack of illness, result ing tn death, which occurred in New York city, November 18, 1886. UNIVERSITY CONNBCTION8. Cleveland, nft.pr the inauguration of McKinley, became connected with J nnceton University, and he devoted much time to literary labor. Upon retiring from the Presi dency, General Harrison was engaged by the late Senator Stanford to de liver a course of lectures at the Leland Stauford, Jr., University, in California, on constitutional law. TheBe were delivered during the early months of 1894. In April, 1896, the ex-President married Mrs. Mary Scott Lord Ditnmock. Three years 'aler he appeared a? counsel in the Anglo-Venezuelan boundary arbitra tion commission. He died at Indian apolis, Indiana, on March 13, 1901. Ten-Hour Day in Union. At a meeting of the directors of the Union and the Buffalo Cotton Mills, of Union, recently it was de cided that the ten-hour work system be adopted in the milln mentioned. This action was based on the idea that a larger production and better goods would be obtained by this plan. The deoision affects a large number of operatives, as the Buffalo and Union Mills are among the larg est in the South. There will be no decrease in wages. HE above picture of the mun and fish is the trade mark of Scott's Emulsi?n, and is tho synonym for strength and purity. lt in sold in almost all the civilized coun tries of the globe. If the cod fish became extinct it would be a world-wide calam ity, because the oil that comes from its liver surpasses all other fats in nourishing and life-giving properties. Thirty years ago the proprietors of Scott's Emul sion found a way of preparing cod liver oil so that everyone can take it and get thc full value of the oil without Hie objectionable taste. Scott's Emulsion is tho liest thing in the world for weak, backward children, thin, delicate people, and nil conditions of wasting and lost strength. Senti for fte? sample.

To the I'M ?tor of tho State : I saw in ono ot your late paper? a uall from the s. cm ai y of the Daughters of the American Revolution to any one hav ing any inf<J>ination on several mat ter? in ba_ch county, places ot historic liai ure, <l( script it ms of same, nam? s ot" parties in such war, wheru buried, with full particulars. Having mis laid said paper I will communicate some historical data of Greenwood county, whioh ?B limited, yot im portant, hoping it may fall into the bands of this compiler of historio events. In the limits of our ?un ty we have the old redoubt or State fort at Ninety-Six, afterwards oalled Cam bridge. Its war history in well known to the youngest child. Judge John McGehee owned ninety acres, including this fort, retaining the same all through his natural life ; would never part with it ; said it should always remain in the family. He was a lawyer at old Cambridge; built the first u. ?ide in Greenwood in 1823 ; tnoveo to Florida, where he died several years ago, when his legatees sold all the land surrounding the fort to outside parties. This fort, two miles south of Ninety-Six depot, on the Greenville and Columbia railroad, is still well preserved and distinguieuHule, to gether with the under-mine tunnel, cut at the time for its destruction by the Americans. This fort is now covered by a nativo growth of oaks, and where there was once a prosper ous town, even after the Revolution, there is not now a house standing. Five or six miles from this city is Stoney Point and Indian Spring, both mentioned in Revolutionary history. One and a half miles out on Kooky oreek, where now is located the city's water and eleotrio plant, is where stood a few years ago the house, now burned, of Capt. John Erwin, or Irvin, as we called him. This house was built of logs with loop holes to guard against the In dians, it being directly on their trail, le-..?mo from the Indian settlement of Keowee to Ninety-Six, their trad ing post. A very large white oak tree, with numerous spreading branohes, still stands on the side of the road, and a few feet baok of the old rock chimney. It was here under its branches, family tradition says, Glen. Greene rested with his army and ate their midday meal, quench ing their thirst from one of the (incut springs near by. Capt. Erwin was a Revolutionary Boldier ; where his re mains are is probably not known. A mile from this point and two miles from the city of Greenwood, on what was once the plantation and residence of Carr McGehee, known as Plain Dealing, rests the remains of Mrs. McGehee's father, John Mon tague, of Revolutionary fame. Ile wa? the sixth in line of the descend ants of Peter Montague, who landed with 1,5100 others at Jamestown, Va., under Sir Francis Wyatt, on the ship Charles, January, 1621. In tho lifo of Peter Montague and his descend ants it is recorded that "John mar ried Rebecca Brown, January 7, 1774 ; born 1755, in Orange county, Va.; was a soldier under Gen. Wash ington and received two wounds on his head and arm while defending Gen. Washington from a sabre cut of a British soldier and carried the Bears to his death. Ho moved to South Carolina in 1708 and settled near tho Star fort of Ninety-Six, where he lived until very aged. He was tall, straight and commanding, and ft pious member of the Episcopal church ; died September 20, 1831, aged 80 years, at the residenco of his daughter, Mrs. Carr McGehee; was buried in the family burying ground. His grave has no mark of identifica tion, but being a groat-grandson of his, those facts are known. C. M. Calhoun. Groonwood, S. C. The Negro in the Way.
