REMINISCENCES OF PUBLIC MEN.
BY EX-GOVERNOR PERRY.
FRANKXIJf J. M?SES.
The late Chief Justice Moses and my?
self were admitted to the Bar in Equity!
at the saine time. | He had' been admit?
ted to practice in the Court of Law twelve
months before. . I .was admitted in both
courts ntthe same time. I met him soon
afterwards in a Union Convention in
Columbia. He was then a Union mau^
"but one night made a speech which dis?
pleased hnr- Union-- friends very-?much;
Gov. Manning, the father of the-predggt
ex-Gov. Manning, was a member of this
Union Convention from the same district
of Sumter, had a conversation with
Moses after the convention adjourned,
7 and reproved him ?forJhis speech. - The
next morning M?ses came iuto-itfie con?
vention, made an explanation, and was'
received back,, into full .fellowship, .as a
Union man.. v, j,.jiaye. frequently thought
since that this speech characterized* the
man in after life. He was wanting in
? boldness and decision of character, and
afraid to take any step for' fear1 of the
consequences. r a
' Chief Justice MoseS rose* very* rapidly'
? at the.Bar, and sqpn.h.asL a_.gflmraandipg.
. nractice,He. was. ^ne^ ofithe, most in?
dustrious^ au&: Qndef^ -lawyeis I
ever knew. He had a great tact, too, in
getting business, and had one side or the
other of almost every case at his court.
No one Overcharged him with a want of
. zeal or ability in the prosecution or de
i fence of his cases. He was well read in
his profession. Whilst I was Provisional
Governor; Moses applied for the office of
District Judge Of the United States for
South Carolina, and I endorsed his appli?
cation in very strong t-erms, for learning,
i ability and industry. But before nil ap?
plication was acted" Oh by the President |
he'was ejected one of the circuit judges
of the State. He had been an applicant
?for the ofSccrof district judge under the
. Confederate "government," and .'the ap
Sointment was given to myself, by Presi
ent , Davis, on the recommendation of j
my friends in the Xegi^k^uxe.
Whilst quite a yoiwg man/ Chief Jus?
tice Moses was ? elected to the State Sen?
ate; and continued to be re-elected for 15
or 16 years in succession. " He was
very stropg man in the Senate, and spoke
well and often. He seldom let any ques?
tion nass without expressing his views on
it. I served with him four years in the
r State ? Senate, i I! remember>:consulting
him, once, about some matter which was
comius-vup' in the Senate'; and ' he ex?
pressed^ :himself decidly with me. But)
1 the next day he voted against', the meas?
ure I advocated, and I said to him he
had deceived me once,- but would'never
have an opportunity of doing so again.
He had great tact in finding out the pop?
ular breeze. and\ would never let it blow
in his face long. He made a great mis?
take, however, when he permitted his son
to have him elected Chief Justice by the
Radical party. His son was, at thatj
time, Speaker of the House of Represen?
tatives, and all powerful with the mem?
bers. Judge Moses was confident, that J
the .whole'State would be Radical inj a
very short time, that there would be a
general vtumble-over ofnthe Democracy,
and a race for office under the now re?
gime. ''He-thought that he was only get-1
ting ahead of his 'Democratic associates^
W^en he:sa.w;himself deserted by all the"
decent people of the State, and some of
his own kindred, he wept like a child, asr
. I have been informed. I never spoke to
him after he went on the Radical Bench!
as Chief Justice. I was present in the
Supreme ^Court when he first took his
seat there. !
He called to see me at Mr. Janney's
residence, after his hopeful son had
joined the Radical party, and spoke of
2 his course*with regret. ' He-'^said, how
* ever, jthat his son had peculiar /views of
his .own in reference to the matter. I
thought he intimated that his son went
over for the purpose of controlling the
?arty in the true interests of the State,
'his was theory of every corrupt scoun?
drel who deserted his colors and turned
traitor to his State and principles. They
were all for the good of their country!
Like the Dutch mistress of George the.
First of Great1 Britain.
I have no doubt that Chief Justice
Moses' death -was occasioned by his dis?
tress'of mind. " He' was!agonized between
doing his duty and crushing the party,
which had honored him. He was natu?
rally kind-hearted, and wanting in firm?
ness. He loved office, andyet.ne wished
to have the respect of gentlemen,
have no doubt he cordially detested, in
his heart, the corrupt and vulgar scoun?
drels who surrounded'him, and had be?
come his associates.. He had been de?
nounced and put in conyentiy by the,
Demqciate^md was. th^bemj* scorned
and hated By the Radicals! "
Judge Moses made a very able and fan
circuit judge. He despatched the busi
-.ne^s .of. the. court promptly And with great
impartiality. I never heard any com
Slaint of him on the circuit bench. Nor
0' I know of any impropriety in his j
opinions on the supreme bench. He had
sense;enough To know that he-.could only
acqufre'reputation, as a judge. By fairness
and impartiality, and'he lovea reputation
dearly. He was not made.of that.stuff
which defied public opinion in doing a
base act. Boldness ana insensibility are
-necessary for that;-purpose, and -he did
,\doj [possess.? either ?f ith-iSa? qualities.
Sensibility was his virtue, and tue want
of courage his misfortune. They have
kept many a man from being a villain.
Chief-.Justice. Moses was,..a social and'
cordial companion, and. a man of great]
hospitality. He lived in handsome style,
and liked^to entertain his friends. I
. wnce Visited|iim wftb a party- of friends,
and spenFa"day or two with him and his
family by invitation. We: were treated
with great kindness by him and his lady,
who was a meihlber Of the Presbyterian
Church, and a cousin of CSanc?llor'r^ob
. Johnston. The Jewsh?ve a' foridneiss for I
silver all over , the world, and.the.Chief
Justice had this national trait in a very
great degree. I dp not know that l ever
saw more silver -in- a private gentleman's
residence ^Bjj^sft^.jff the Chief Jus-1
tice?s, "who was "then, however, only a
Senatordud a lawyer. ; '
''^he^ydice of Judge Moses iu deb?te
was remarftabik. I never heard any thing
to equal it in discord'and harshness, ex?
cept- the sound of the Chinese gong.
When excited in argument or discussion
he pitched his voice. jjpry high, and
seemed to*i^ between^a seaream and a
howTl But notwithstanding the un?
pleasantness of his voice, his argument
was always forcible and logical. He was
a strong mafi both at the Bar and in the
Senate, and also before the/people. He
?jvas^. 'towards' the close of his legislative
career, elected President of the Senate,
which had been-his ambition for many
years. He started out in life a Union
man, but when he saw the State ready
for secession he becane very warm on
that side, and wished, to run against Gov.
Allsten for President of the Senate on
the ground that Allston was not strong
enough in the interest of the secession
movement. When the civil war broke
out he went to Virginia and got a place
on Gen. Wise's staff. After the1 war was
over- he was in favor of accepting all the
exactions' of the Federal Government.
Governor James Barbor, of Virginia,
used to say that his brother Phil, could
scent a popular breeze sooner than any
; man in the State. I have heard gentle*
men in Columbia frequently say that
?they. could always tell by Senator Moses'
course whether a movement was popular
or not.
I have said the Chief Justice was kind
hearted, and I think this virtue will be
conceded to him by all who knew him.
, I remember his giving me a graphic de?
scription of the misery and want of a
parcel of Federal prisoners whom he saw
pn th? ^railroad ?toQt-.the\close of the
'war. jGais/sympatoy/ wal deeplylxcited

condition of their poor, captured &?ldlers,
.?and: the utter inability ?S tht?Gonfederjate

It is'said'that the last words uttered by
the late Chief Justice were, "Hanyitpuis

FARM GARDEN AMD HOUSEHQffi.
ui^^w^ EX
In ibis decidediy progressive age, we
think, there is great lack of progress man?
ifested by the Southern farmer-in-fche*m
plemeuts he year after yeaf^lods^aldrig
with through the crop season. Save the
cotton-planter and guano-distributor,
(and these two are the samej and the
sw?ep,'fthere^s"notiolour mina'? single
impro'^:.meht,J3jho?gst our. implements.
Indeed, the sweep is little else than the
old, old-fashioned buzzard wing, or shovel
and heol sweep. When we sow our grain,
we toss it from the hand. When we plant
corn, we drop it from the fingers. When
we harvest, we use the cradle. When we
break up land or cultivate the crop, we
use the single-horse plough,,going across
the field back and forth, three times as
pflen as we should.; And seldom, if ever,,
do we use implements that are decidedly
labor-saving.
Why is this ? Are we anti-progressive ?
Is land too cheap to warrant such invest?
ments? Is our labor incapable of being
skilled to the u6e:'of'such 'implements?
Or are we too p'dor to make' the invest?
ments necessary? ,.Not one, but we im
fajjine'all of'these combined reasons have
'tfleir influence tipoh'us.'' We'are accus?
tomed ") travel the road our ancestors
did, ."?\id auy divergence from it is a risk.
The hard-wo/jkfngi fracticalHarrders in
whom we have confidence don't use the
latest'bnproveme?te/aud.this shakes':our'
faith in .them as an economy. Those
who.^?^hlie^tffelfii-fr?ni some "cause or
other do so somewhat spasmodically, and
this gives u?>h6-encouragement. We
have Lor4eai rwith the negro, and upon
him depends our''supplyof labor. And
.he is averse tq- progress... fnxproved ira*.
Lplemeius have to be bought, and" this re?
quires the cash, which we seldom have.
And so it goes, that we cling to, our old
implements, and are yearly falling be?
hind th'?se who*.are more progressive.
'There'are many tilings to be done,
however, beside buying the.implements
upon bur farms before we catvsuccessfully
use them. The land must" be prepared
for them. AU roots, ?tompft logs, rocks^
and hundreds ' Of little nobstrnctlohs;
which only, show themselves when the
imprfoe'd'implfeinent 'is' tcsied.'haVe "to'be'
removed; and then some time-is requiried^
to acquire the skill to adjust and use
them. \ qy gfnsj "7-! ?:
In 1887 we purchased a Stafford culti?
vator, (an awkvvs^and.not^^c^rmniical
implement, but then the bestlh use,) and
during ?.he first-.day's use we needed an
extra hand along to caution us when we
.were ploughing up the crop. The imple?
ment was known as a buggy plough, was
drawn by two horses, and ran four good,
shovel iurrows, but the work it did was
behind the door.
Inst<;;td of-beiug.encouraged in,the use,
of such ah' implement,.it. was the.laughA
ing stock, tof the neighborhood. One.
thbugbt w'e'shonld'now nave an umbrel-'
?la^ an<DiherSuggested a jttg between our
ifeBt &U<0? either with whiskey 'or water,
or both. The negroes had objections to
it, and could not be induced to use it.
One thought he'd go to sleep in it ; an
atKjtheJ'-^new/he'd break it, and it would
cost.hur...his year's wages, &c. But we
persevered, and alone did the ploughing
with it that year of thirty-five acres of
sorghum an]fr;fiVe? acres "bf cotton, .and*
seldom ploughed over half of any one
day.
?/? We:subsequently purchased a "Chal?
lenge" cultivator, which was either .at
riding or-walking cultivator, and found
it a great' improvement upon the other!
Unable to induce negroes to use it, we
sold ife-i.?> an energetic young farm er,, who
cultivated, a full cotton and cprn crop
with1" ft for several years, doing easily all
the ploughing for a crop that required
three good hoe hands.
We t'.re satisfied that-'any;of the im?
proved cultivators of the present day will
perform more and better work, where the
4aTld1rprepffred"'for it", with'Two go?oT
mules and one driver, than .can be done
-wjthr th'. ee mules and three drivers, each
to ?tfslugle old-fashioned- plough. Any
of the improved ploughs that require two
horses will, with one driver, ao more
work it. bedding up and cultivating the.
crop, than can'be done' bv the same two
mules and two drivers with the old-fash?
ioned oneniiojsjj -plough) stock; jJVIQTi
Our iioxTinveslment in improved im?
plement: was in a reaper and mower, and
as these were more complicated still, our
'success'was less than with the cultivator.
?We drcve the reaper successfully, but
'cdyld never induce thefreedmen to do it.
T^el mo??er. was more simple and was
used by them. In heavy grain, where
the land was thoroughly prepared, (and
by that means made as smooth as a floor,)
a';driver and two horses will keep five
binders very busy, "fend save one-fifth
more grain than cradles can. But in.
fhin, "or ordinary grain, the cradle is the
best;..
Almost every farmer has his cotton
planter, and he knows how. labor-saying,
it is, even though "he pays, as he almost
always does, twice as much for it as it is
worth.' Before they were introduced, it
was the usual practice to .thresh in live or
six bushels ofrreea to the '?cre, by hand,
into .the previously, opened furrow, and
then wony* with ?tbe l?tfoVof- chopping
out the cotton fo.a stared, Now we can.
if the bV.i.dsfresh andithe laud well pre?
pared, open'tne^-farrow,'drill in One to
two bushels of seed, and cover them, all
at the sai;j6 operation.
Not so, however, with corn. Wo still
drop the i eed by hand, oftener than oth?
erwise, dropping twice as many seed as
necessar , and at irregular distances, and
hence there is not only an irregular
stand, but an irregular growth and yield,
some stands where less crowded growing;
larger and bearing more abundantly than
others. ^Wji haV^e/seen on the prairies of

Bedding out 'YAks.?The''season "Is
shortly at hand when our planters and
gardeners will turn their attention to the .
best means to secure an early and abun?
dant supply of potato plants. By exper?
imenting ? last- year with--, several plans, I
have/ faniTully 'satisfied, found out'the
moat .economical,..practical, and every?
way the best plan to bed sweet potatoes,
especially yams. I took it from the
Southern r Cuit'ycatof, .April",:No. 1S7Q?
signed F.- S. JftcksoinC Cdlinty, which
is as follows:
Early in March I' made' a hot bed, by
setting up edgewise four planks or slabs,
one foot wide, driving stakes: on the out
side rfa h$]d tliem- Cup, and; fjjling ihjs '?
frame'with fresh stable manure, that has
never been, we^. . t then, pack it down

the manure! with two inches of rich earth,
upon whj .'h i. spread out evenly, but not
upon,.oac.'i;-'other,.'-; my yams or potatoes,'
and cover them with two inches of good
earth. I then raise one side of my
frame six inches and cover .with boards,
?to keer/ off all rain, until the slips are up,
?which will be in about two' weeks.
After this'f uncover them and water
,freely . with .soap-suds. In four weeks
from bedding out I have a fine bed of
slips ready to set out, getting a weekly
supplyfrom April.Tjntil July, if they are
kept well watered.

Deep Ploughing.
However much the opiuiou of farfcers
may differ in regard to-the'cultivation of
crops, whether the deep and high ridge
culture of the old school/or' the surface
skimming^.flat.,culture of.the "new.de-;
parture," all'agree upon one point, vjz::
that deep ploughing iu the spring , is-ab
solutely necessary to secure, the oest je?
suits., So universally^ is this admitted
and the reason so obvious that it would
be idle to adviso it were it not that one|
half of .the arable' land in the State is
"broken-up".with one-horse plows,mpd
at the average depth,of 3$ to 4: inches.
Lands thus prepared cannot fail to dis
appoint the. Lopesr of the farmer, and
where the heat of a July sun wilts the
-leaves and the crops come to a stand still,
he is ready to murmur and say it is a bad
"cropTyear,!', when the fauJC to a great ex
tenUios at his own door.

withstanding the fact thfltr4he^-stock lair
of Mecklenburg county was only passed
a few week's'ago, the county has been eq
tire'y fenced in. The farmers took hold
of .it immediately, .and the work, eorai
plcted on Saturday. A meeting of the
Board of County Commissioners is called
to-day for the purpose of appointing a
committee of two free-holders and. one
magistrate- to-duake- an-inspection of? th c
whole line of fence and report to the
Board. It has been discovered, however,
since"tirs;me?tiifg"iwas; called, "that it is
not tbd duty of the. Board 'to "appoint the
committee. Acting upon this construc?
tion of the law, it is supposed that the
Commissioners will meet to-day only to
adjo?rn to some -day during the latter
'parti'of this week or the first of next,
when the inspection shall have been
made in .-the manner .required by the law1,
wh'etf'they will appoint! the persons in

The Season for Pruning.
: :"The following 'seasonable article j ia"\
:from our valuable contemporary, the1
'"Country Gentlemen:
It is now admitted by all .who'have'
'given attention to the subject, and it vf
m accordance with both theory and prac?
tice, that to favor a free growth of the
shoots and leaves, pruning should bfepfffjj
formed .while trees are dormant or leaf?
less. On the other hand, to .check
jgrowth, and to promote fruitfulness, the
pruning should be done on the trees in
leaf and growing. We'know of no culti?
vators who dissent'from these truths. It'
is commonly admitted, also, that summer
pruning; favors a more speedy healing of
the wounds.?? .
. Each sqasqn, .therefore, has its peculiar
advantages. Unless the. trees have super?
abundant .vigor,, the pruning should not;1
be done after.the buds begin to..swell..'
.'Winter' may be better, than early spring
for harcly trees, by allowing the fr.eshly
cut faces to dry, and close the sap pores
before the commencement of growth;
but, .as cutting away branches always
makes trees more susceptible to the effects
of cold, the work should not be- per?
formed much before spring.on half-tender
trees. . Pruned at this season of the year,
they .'are'not checked in growth, as when
the work is done in summer, when the
tree must lose ? portion of its leaves,
'and become thus suddenly checked in
the performance of its functions.
Pruning in summer, or while the trees
are in leaf and growing, may be practiced
if they are in vigorous condition, and
but a small portion is cut away at a time.
There can be no harm at any season in
removing a single misplaced shoot. A.
better way is to rub off needless shoots as
-they are starting, or to pinch off the ends
to prevent extending, as this is not'at
itended with a large loss of leaves. If
trees: grow too fast to bear, a general"
pinching over the head, or a summer
thinning of the shoots of the whole tree,
will tend to induce fruitfulness the sec?
ond year.
As we have already stated^ summer
pruning usually favors the more speedy
healing of the wounds where limbs of.
much size are cut off. But experiments
do not prove that pruning at this sekson
is always best for the tree. James Bed
path, of Iowa, cut off a branch from an
apple tree' in (every month of the year,
and at the end of five years, when all had
healed over, the wood was found least de?
cayed}, on cutting tree, in those
prurfed in February and March, and
most in those cut in June and July?the
latter having healed entirely over one
year the :soo?cst. Ih another similar ex?
periment; all Were healed over in four
years, with a similar result. The decay
from the summer pruning was about
three times as great as in winter.
In this connection we offer a practical
hint for the mechanical removal of limbs
which require the use of the saw. To
prevent splitting the bark on the lower
side as the limb falls, first make a small
cut beneath and opposite to the main cut
made by the saw above; or if they. do
not quite coincide, let the lower-one be
slightly nearest the tree. This mode will
not only leave a smoother face, but will
save time and trouble to the operator,
who must otherwise hold the branch with
one of his hands, or by an assistant. The
sa\y jug. off of the stumps above mentioned
is . rapidly and easily done without any
such care.
,fSfex of Eggs.?A correspondent of the
Southern Farmer tells how an old poultry
raiser distinguishes sex in eggs. It is
related as: follows: "'Eggs with the air
bladder on the sides will produce pullets.'
The old man was so certain of the;troth,
of his dogma, and the poultry yard-so far
confirmed it, that I determined to make
experiments upon it this year. I hav?v
done so, carefully registering every 'blad?
der verfiele' or bladder on one side, re?
jecting every one in which it was not
decidedly oneway or the other, as in
some it was only slightly out of the
centre. The following is the result; 58
chickens hatched; 3 are dead; 11 too
young: yet to decide upon their sex; of
the remaining 44 every one has turned
out true to the old man's theory. I tried
it myself and found it to be correct, apd'
I think it.lo be of great practical advan?
tage, I am pleased to give it my full
endorsement."
