Concluded from First Page. the part of wisdom to he prepared for this, and to marshal our forces to meet it successfully. We cannot rely upon the fereor of 1876. Such efforts are not re? peated in a generation. We can. only succeed by thorough organization and diligent work, and in preparing for this you have, in my judgment, seized upon the trne plan of battle., When the can? vass, with its disturbing influences, is limited to the short period necessary for the only pnrpose it can effect, the arous? ing ana solidifying our friends for the final effort, you have given the time to do the work which will be mostpowerful in accomplishing the result. This is a contest to be won by votes. There is a portion of our people who are reliable to a man, who need no sum? mons but that of the Democracy. To brinr these to the ballot box is the only problem. A very large part of the re? maining portion 6f our people have now voted with the Democracy in two succes? sive campaigns. We have only to poll the same votes and to supplement their number. The time you have wisely given to the purpose will enable your ex? ecutive authorities,' both State and coun? ty, to quietly and patiently organize oar forces to move when the signal is given. And opportunity is afforded to recruit our ranks by the exertion of the full in? dividual Democratic voter, that "each man a man" policy, which we have be? fore found a powerful factor of success. Accepting in perfect good faith the en? largement and debasement of the suffrage which events have compelled, we will and most preserve the life of the Common? wealth by keeping its control in the hands of its better element. Seeking to deprive no man of his franchise, conceding free? ly to all men their rights under the law, the God-given right of preservation re? mains, of which neither laws nor con? stitutions can deprive a people, and we will assert it by those appeals to reason, to interest and to persona! associations which influence men everywhere. We have found them potent before, and we j will find them potent now. I have spoken of the approaching canvass only from our local standpoint, because the necessity of local success is to us supreme. Bat our interests and welfare cannot be dissevered from the National Democra? cy. Until the General Government is restored to the methods and doctrines of its founders, until the American doctrine of local affairs is again made the key? stone of the structure, until there is blaz? oned upon its portals once more, that "the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution nor prohibited by it to the States are reserved to the States respectively or to the people"? until this is done the position of civiliza? tion in South Carolina and of all that makes the State fit for freemen to live in is at best but that of armed neutrality. Our people want peace. . They want repose from revolution and revolutionary methods. Savaged by war and stricken and stunned by Federal leg? islation, they have staggered to their feet and ask only to be let alone in their pro-. gress of recuperation. The freeman wants relief from disturbing political ag? itation, that he may recover and increase his prosperity. The freedman wants it that he may qualify himself by educa? tion for the duties imposed upon him, and that he may enjoy in material and moral progress the opportunities of the higher plane to which he has been eleva? ted. God grant that this peace in its full? est development may not be far distant, that the doctrines of conciliation and good will and harmony among all classes of our citizens set forth in the platform of 1876, and faithfully acted upon by the. Democracy for the last four years, may be carried to a fuller fruition. It is upon that platform of pure gov? ernment adninistered by competent of? ficials, of economic administration, of equal rights before the law and of har? monious progress that we stand to-day as we did then. It is to these ends that I invoke your effort in the approaching folitical straggle, and should success, as am assured it will, attend the result, you have the assurance of every act and utterance of my political life that I will, so far as in me lies, faithfully exe? cute your behests. Gentlemen, I bid you adieu, to meet again when South Carolina expects every son tq do his duty. When the history is written let it not be said that yon or any other of those entitled to her name and inheriting her fame have failed to res? pond to her summons. gen. kennedy's address. Gen. John D. Kennedy was then in? troduced to the Convention and spoke as follows: Gentlemen of the Convention: I thank you for the honor conferred upon me in flacing me second upon the State ticket, endorse the remarks of our distinguish? ed nominee for Governor. They are words of wisdom, and his counsel, ad? monition and exhortation mast address themselves to every thoughtful man. Cool, sagacious, and yet bold, the Democ? racy of Carolina under the leadership of of Johnson Hagood will march forward to overwhelming success. We must, however, gentlemen, have thoroughness of organization, efficiency of discipline and entire devotion to duty to achieve this grand result. We must furthermore sink so much of our individuality as may be necessary for the common good, and follow the advice and direction of those appointed to shape our policy and guide our action. I know that I address men who love South Carolina so dearly that they will regard no sacrifice as too great, no work too onerous, no responsibility too imposing-to do all and dare all to main? tain and perpetuate Democratic suprema? cy in the State, which means the welfare of all ber people of both races. Let harmony and. conciliation mark our course. I pledge myself to devote whatever of talent I may have and all the time that may be necessary to achieve the triumph which I know awaits as. When the sun rises the day after the election may our standard float over the last rampart of Badicalism in this State, proudly, but peacefully and benignly, and cover beneath its protecting folds every citizen of this Commonwealth. The Convention then adjourned sine die. The members of the Democratic State Executive Committee met subsequent to the adjournment of the Convention, and elected Gen. John Bratton, of Fairfield, chairman and Col. John C. Haskell, of Columbia, secretary. Night Air.?An extraordinary fallacy is the dread of night air. What air can we breathe at night but night air ? The choice is between pure night air from without and foul air from within. Most people prefer the latter. An unaccounta? ble choice. What will they say if it is proved to be true that fully one-half of all the diseases we suffer from are occasion? ed by people sleeping with their windows shut ? An opened window most nights in the year, can never hurt any one. This j is not to say that light is not necessary for recovery. In great cities night air is often the best and purest air to be had in twenty-four hoars. I could better un? derstand shutting the windows in town during the day than daring the night for the sake of the sick. The abscence of smoke, the quiet, all tend to make night the best time for airing the patient. One of our highest medical authorities on consumption and climate, has told me that the air in London is never bo good as after ten o'clock at night. Al? ways air your room then from the outside sir, if possible. Windows are made to open, doors are made to shut?a truth which seems extremely difficult of ap? prehension. Every room must be aired from within. But the fewer passages there are in a hospital the better.?Flor? ence Nightingale._ ? A boy ten years old tramped all the way from Ohio to San Francisco. Frnit Culture. The following essay was read before a recent meeting of Associate Grange by Col. W. S. Pickens, and is published by request of the Grange: Worthy Master, Patrons and Friends : The field assigned is vast, the motive power is weak; but if I could bring to bear a giant intellect, coupled with the most powerful energy, justice could not be done in an essay limited to an occa? sion like this. Fruit, luscious fruit I the sight of which causes the eye of the infant to sparkle in bright anticipation, childhood to dance with gleeful joy; that which excites hunger and longing in youth, produces strong desires in mature manhood and sharpens the appetite of old age; that which is a necessity of our physical na? ture; luscious to the taste, excites the digestive organs, strengthens the nerves, renovates the system, and is universally sought by man, beast and bird; and yet, 0, how culpable are we, in that we fail to provide such an essential, and by such neglect set before our children a tempta? tion to criminality which they are scarce? ly able to resist, for their longings for fruit?in its season?are such that they are bound to have it, by begging or sponging if they can, but by stealth if they must. And yet, how little atten? tion is given by the mass of farmers and landowners to this vastly important item in the make up of a good living. Oh! says one, I have no time to attend to such matters. To such I would say, save the fragments, utilize the moments, and you will have time plenty. But, says another, it takes up too much good ground for an orchard. I answer by saying, shame on you, sir, when I see all around your lots, plots and gardens enough lands wasted in Jamestown, earless, Jerusalem and horehound weeds and other malarial and noxious pests to grow all the fruit trees necessary for your household. But to the subject. First, the location for apples. Let it be a depression or northern slope, thereby keeping the tem? perature as low and even as possible through the winter and early spring in order to prevent killing off by frost. The ground should be dark, tenacious loam, with a clay subsoil, which will give a more vigorous and healthy growth as well as lessen the danger of uprooting by storms, and being less porous is not bo subject to frequent atmospheric changes, and is altogether preferable to light sand or gravel soil. Set the trees 18 feet each way. While I am apprised that this is less distance than is usually adjudged necessary, yet, after observation and ex? perience of fifty years, I claim that it is sufficient for the penetration of light and heat for the full development of fruit and growth of tree, and thus planted they act as a mutual support and protec? tion to the tree in time of storm and to the-fruit in time of chilling wind and late spring frost. As to the propagation and stocking, it is folly to go beyond the mountains, rivers and seas to get selec? tions while Nature's God has given every soil and climate that variety suited to its latitude. I once imported seventeen va? rieties of select apples a distance of 600 miles only to learn that but three out of the lot were worth bringing, while all were good, and extra good, in their na? tive soil. Fruit, like other things, must be acclimated, and where there is great contrast in the component parts in the make-up of the soil, as well as great dif? ference in the climate, it has its wonder? ful effects upon the fruit, and usually to its disadvantage. But for variety, by propagating from seed, hybridizing and grafting we can have all that is necessary to our latitude. Indeed, too many vari? eties is only vanity, or rather for the sake of gratifying vanity, for only a few of the varieties can be superior. We want size, flavor and keeping qualities in the fruit and health, vigor ana capability of much bearing in the tree, and the requi? sition is full. Take, for instance the early red and white June, followed by the golden sweet and golden Bussett, these succeeded by the horse apple and the variegated Redraft, (or pie apple) these followed by the merit or Shockley and the large yellow Pearraan, and these again by the red cluster, the winter sweet and the green Pearman, and we have all in point of variety, flavor and keeping that is desirable. In short, fruit all the time, for the three last named varieties, as I have tested, will keep to meet the fruit of the succeeding season. And here arises the question of p res er vat' jn. The answer is, gather at the approach of frost, store dry in a well-ventilated apart? ment where air can pass underneath, and all that is further necessary is to keep dry and above the freezing point. The stocking and culture of an orchard de? mands attention. Set the scions of any healthy, well-shaped sprouts at hand, and graft for select varieties; but do not set as if planting a stack-pole, in a hole just large enough to swallow the Btock, with cramped roots, but let the excava? tion bo sufficient to bold the roots laid horizontally, set in ten inches deep, fill with good soil sufficient to cover the roots and then drench with water to settle the dirt well about the roots; then fill the remainder of the hole with dry dirt. If this is done from November to February, and the same sides of the tree turned to the points of the compass as it first grew, there need not be exceeding 2 per cent, of loss in transplanting. Then keep the ground well pulverized?deep at first; more shallow near the tree as the roots expand. Keep down ?eeds, avoid crops that leave on the land any amount of dry stubble or haulm, branch the top at four feet above ground, and in due time there will be a good orchard. If grafting is done at the ground simply cut off the stock and slit in the center of the stump, then insert the graft, shaped glut or wedge-like, taking care that bark shall meet bark, at least on one side. Then a poultice of mortar over the joint will answer; but if desirable to graft up in the branches of the tree insert as above stated, and then bind with a strip of cloth saturated in a solution of two parts rosin, one of beeswax and one of tallow, sim? mered together. Bind the cloth tightly around the joint so as to exclude air and hold in place, and the work is done. I prefer to take grafts off healthy, bearing trees?avoiding water sprouts?in Janu? ary or first of February, and bury them in fresh earth until the sap begins to expand the bud of the trees; then cut grafts from three to four inches in length, aving at least two bud joints or eyes to each graft and inBert as above, and there need not be a loss exceeding 5 per cent., and if taken from bearing trees and set in stocks or trees large enough, I have had them bear fruit the second year, and in one instance the fruit matured on the graft even the same season in which it was set. An apple tree well cared for is apt.to live 50 years, but there are per? haps 50 kinds of vermin that must be looked after as enemies. For the body of the tree the best cleansor and renova? tor that I have tried is an annual wash? ing made of lye drift from wood ashes applied in the spring season. Next to this as a wash take four parts lime and one part salt to which add sufficient water to make a whitewash, and apply. The same is good for the borer in the root, as is also diluted fish-brine, or other brine wherein meat has been pickled. As the apple is the leading orchard fruit with us, I have dwelt at some length in giving details, and can merely touch upon a few other kinds. Taking next the peach, which is un? certain in its bearing and subject to many pests, yet withal very desirable. Let the location, in this section of country, for a peach orchard be on the most elevated ground, or if sloping let the dip be to? wards the north, and it will be less sub? ject to frequent freezes in the winter, and the temperature kept lower and the budding held back until later, and thus lessen the danger from spring frosts. The distance need not exceed 15 feet from tree to tree. I would prefer to plant the seed at once where the tree is to grow, as it insures a more vigorous growth and lessens the probability of borers or grubs in the roots, as they seem to have an inclination to seek bruised or wounded parts in which to commence their depredations. The best applica? tion which I have found to the roots as a preventative is a solution of lime and salt, and next ashes and rusty iron. Peach trees should always bo branched low, say from three to four feet body. It is safer from storms and it will be easier to gather the fruit. As to variety, I pre? fer for early ripening the clo^h-of-gold plum, and the red-side?open-seed. For summer use the large coiogne-drip and the orange, both free-stone, and the gold? en and Maryland yellow, both plum. Both of the last varieties are superior for drying purposes. For full use take the white and yellow clings, and the yellow October?open Beed. But I will here state that in order to obtain early and late varieties, take the seed of the early before quite ripe and plant, and it will bring a tree much later in ripening, and it may be thus continued until it will not ripen at all; or, on the other ex? treme, let the late peach remain on the tree until it falls from ripeness and then take the whole peach thus mellowed u ad plant it. On trees thus growu I have had the fruit to ripen tour weeks earlier than on the mother tree, thus demon? strating the practicability of getting in a few years both early and late peaches from the same original tree. The com? position of the sou and culture of the tree for peaches is much the same as that of apples, and with proper care the peach will bear when from three to four years old, and in some cases will live for thirty years. Until I can find a preventive or remedy for the ring blight to which the pear tree is subject, I deem it unnecessary to say much of its culture. As the surest to repay the care bestowed, I prefer the oval June or the fig black-heart, both food bearers of fruit luscious to the taste, 'or summer use and drying purposes the August bell thrives best and is pretty sure to bring a crop every alternate year, but only begins to bear from eight to fourteen years of age, and continues thence up to forty, sometimes fifty years. As to cherries, every family that will give a fence corner can have the acid and the May cherries. The black cherry makes a beautiful and well proportioned ornamental tree, but in this section I have never known it to bear to any pay? ing extent. ; Of plums I regard none so valuable as the New Orleans sugar plum. It is a [rapid and symmetrical grower, and if ! planted where the land is constantly trod upon, it is a constant bearer, and in thirty-five years' experience 1 have not known a crop to blight or prematurely rot. This fruit, to my taste, excels any other plum, and the tree is free from those deadly pests that destroy so much of man's labor. Other varieties of cul? tivated plums are quite uncertain, mostly, shedding the fruit or rotting as it matures, and thus disappointing our hopes. The blue damson is perhaps worth some at? tention, but generally the sun cracks and spoils the fruit before it ripens. Figs, of the varieties common wit a us, the small black-heart is to be preferred as a Bure bearer, and the fruit, either fresh or dried, is delicate, refreshing and pleasant, and fs also considered quite wholesome. It is not liable to blight, but is not sufficiently hardy to stand our winter freezes, and until we become more provident ana painstaking is not worth garden room. Of grapes, there are numerous varie? ties hawked upon the market, most of which are too subject to rot to be worth much attention. The small mountain summer or wine grape is among the sweetest and best varieties with us.? Next to this is the Scuppernong, which is rather a muskadine, and is hardy and of rapid growth and not much subject to disease. But here I would like to suggest that one of the principal causes of rot in grapes is our nightly dews. This you may verify by training part of the vine on trellis and another part of the same vine on a tree with foliage, or tender the eave of a roof, and you will be convinced of the correctness of my conclusion, for while you will get a crop from the pro? tected vine the other will shed its fruit and disappoint your expectations. For family purposes?making wine, pre? serves, pies, or even first-rate vinegar? the domestic summer grape may be made a source of both pleasure and profit, only requiring foothold and room to grow. But every kind of grape which I have tried does best by annually pruning be? fore the flow of sap, for after that period they will drip or bleed, perhaps to the ruin of the vine. But with proper train? ing, plenty of pole, protection from dew, ground moderately rich, dry and some? what gravelly you may luxuriate in grapes while sitting under your own vine and looking upon your owu fig-tree. But while I am aware that 1 must close this essuy without having given much edification, yet I am disposed to give you a small dessert of raspberries, even if it is a bramble. No liuc in the garden pays better than the one well stocked with raspberries. The small purple is the surest bearer, is hardy and of easy growth, only needing rich, pul? verized soil and a frame, or poles, to bear it up, and sure each year will there be a full crop of lusciouB berries, which, for pies or a dessert with cream and sugar, cannot be surpassed. I said a full crop every year; remember then that the same vine only bears one crop, and is exhaust? ed. Then it devolves upon the gardener as soon as the crop is exhausted to cut away all bushes that have borne, and give place for the young shoots that are coming forward to fill the demands for the succeeding crop. And now, having passed in brief pur? view a few of the leading fruits of our orchards, and having also exonerated myself of the possibility of being charged as derelict in duty to the organization with which I affiliate, it only remains for me to thank the Associate Grange for the honor conferred, for the kind indul? gence and patient hearing given and to I implore that you redouble your efforts to make the Organization in practical real? ity what it has long been in theory?an institution for the promotion of the in? terests and elevation of the standard of society, physically, mentally, morally and socially throughout the whole- of our country.

Dying With the Bear Gnard, We were going to fall back! No one but a soldier realizes the mean? ing of an order to fall back in the face of a foe flushed with victories gained on right, left and center. It is next to a panic. One false move will make it a panic and a root. "The army will fall back in a more favorable position," were the words of the general to tho various commanders. That meant defeat. It meant that our dead and wounded were to be left in the hands of the enemy. It meant that we had been outgeneraled and that the only hope left was to withdraw and re-form in a new position. The wagon train bad been moving for two hours, and now, within three hours of sun down, our bat? tle-line melted away as regiments and brigades were called in and divisions went marching down the highway. There, were pale faces and timorous glances among the old fighters. They had laughed and joked each other on the battle line, but there were no smiles now. Put a soldier with his back to the foe if you want to see a coward I The enemy are passing forward. They are exultant and reckless. There is only the one dusty, crooked highway for hunt? ed and hunter. One charge of cavalry down upon our rear?a dozen screaming shells from a battery planted on this hill ?will be the signal for such a panic as only soldiers ever see. Men will throw away everything that impedes flight? they will frighten each other with looks and words?they will forget their battleH, their scars and their flag and think only of a swifter pace. Who will be the rear? guard ? There comes an order to settle the question. "The General orders the Third to form in rear and fight and fall back?fall back and fight. Leave your dead and wound? ed where they fall. Hold the enemy in check at all hazards. On this depends the salvation of the whole army 1" Fight and fall backl First fight. Where ? Begin right hereon the crest of this hill. The enemy is coming up the road at a gallop, chcc.ing and yelling and determined to ri'1" over us. Steady now 1 Here we are in battle-line across the highway, with a company on each flank along the fences. Tue road is full of the charging cavalry, and with a grand yell they are upon us. It lasts but a minute, and as the wind whirls the smoke away we see that the road is full of men and horses?some dead as thestones under their feet?some writhing in the torture of ghastly wounds. There is a cheer as we see the remnant galloping back out of [ range, but it dieB away as we count thir? ty of our own dead and wounded. In that one minute of fierce fighting more than one hundred men went to the dust. Fallback? No! This is our battle line for a while vet. The wounded are lifted from the dust and laid upon the turf, and we are yet at the work, serving friend and foe alike, when the enemy comes again. It is cavalry, as before, but while they are massing as best the narrow limits will permit, a battery on the hill be? hind them shells us as if it meant to leave no one alive. Fence-rails go flying? dust and dirt are sent higher than the tree tops?trees are cut short off or splintered as if lightening bad spent its fury there, but no one moves. Our order was to die on the line. "Beady, men I Hold yoor fire until every bullet will count 1 We can hold this line until dark I" Here they cornel Beyond us is the last of the great wagon train, followed by brigades which are looking back at us as women do at twilight shadows. If they can only break through us! Not a word?not a whisper in answer to those wild cheers. Not a movementjin the lines until the nearest horses are burned with the wave of flame which rolls out and enwraps horse and rider with a crimson robe of death. They pass on. Horses leap over the dead or trample upon them. Sabres and bayonets driuk blood, and men fight on after they have fallen. It is over again, and we have beaten them back. The highway is an awful Bight to look upon as the Bmokefloa ? sul? lenly away. There is no longer a path through the dead. The road is packed with the dead and wounded?literally packed.
