at 2:05.

defendant "was charged with conspir
> acy 'to defraud tlj.e State and with hav- t

The Letters.

The letters which played such a part
f in the case are as follows:
Newberry, S. C., March 9, i902.
Dear Goodman: I know you feel disI
appointed at the month's purchase,
but it could not be helped. If you will
I look at Friday's State paper you will
see and also that Crum and the legis- I
lative ^committee was tnere ana w?
i -was asked only to buy one month's
. supply of the goods we had already,
^ purchased from house and that way
out. If you will note John Early only !
got 50 barrels X rye and no other j
^ goods; that is why I made motion tr;
buy only for one month. I intended j
to give you and John all my order. I
As it is none of my friends got hardly!
anything this month but next month!
things will be better. The committee;
and Crum just asked for goods; we!

f body's stuff. I am almost disgusted j
with it. There will be no more new j
goods for quite awhile. Your 66 is'
going pretty well when sub-dispensaries
can get it. I am going to put it
in in bulk. I could not work the corn
in without samples. I think this was
put up job. Will tell you all when I
see you in April buying. Regards to j
all. Your friend,

Dear Goodman: Your two checks'
and letters received, one ror $250 and!
one for $50 and $50 in Columbia
makes $350. Here is the list you go-:
50 barrels X rye, 400 barrels X corc,
35 barrels X gin and 10 barrels apple
brandy. Will put in some case goods;
next month and keep building up.
Many thanks for kindness. .

V CLEMSON EXTENSION WORK, <$>
<S> <s>
In all of the places visited in the |
wilt infested sections of the State we I
have found root knot very prevalent j
In fact root knot and cotton wilt seem i
to go hand in hand. Where one occurs
the other is nearly almost always
found. Either trouble is bad

occur they frequently destroy whole j
crops of cotton and cowpeas.
Rot knot is caused by small nema- j
todes (eel worms) which bore into the
roots of the plants and irritate the tis- j
sue, causing enlargement of the point i
attached. These enlargements vary in |
size from almost nothing to the size j
of a nea and sometimes even larger, j
When cut open and examined under a
microscope these knots are found to j
be full of the tiny nematode worms, i
These live over the winter in the old j
roots and in the soil, and begin work
again the next spring in the young
roots. If the crops that they live on |
i
are kept off the land for several years, I
the nematodes are starved out.
We get' rid of the root knot then by j
rotation; i. e., we grow on the infest- !
ed land only those crops on which the i
nematodes can not live. Corn, oats, j
wheat, rye, Iron cowpeas, peanuts and ;
velvet beans are safe crops to use in |
such rotation. Sweet potatoes, cotton,
cowpeas, tomatoes, okra, cucumbers,
watermelons, beans, tobacco, and a
number of other crops are subject to.
root knot and are not safe to plant j
on infested land.
wilt is caused oy a parasitic iungus j
which grows in through the roots of;
the plants into the stems, and plugs ;
up the vessels which transport food j
and water back and forth to the dif- !
i
ferent parts of the plant. When these |
vessels are clogged up the plant wilts
and dies. The fungus which causes
the trouble lives in the soil and will j
remain alive there for a number of
years even when cotton and peas are
left off the land. The only way to
control wilt is by the use of Tesistant j
varieties, varieties which are' almost
wilt proof. The varieties of cotton
which are resistant to wilt, however,
are by no means free from root knot.
Root knot encourages wilt because the
flirt n-hm ri ? /% T-* Xl'i 1 i oft 1 tt /\

ters the roots through tne wounds
made by the nematode worms. The
first step then in controlling wilt is
to get rid of the root knot.
Now the ordinary farm practices
which are followed in this State tend
to encourage both wilt and root knot.
In the first place, the wilt which attacks
cotton and peas is practically
the same, and the root knot which is
common on cotton, peas, potatoes and
fnhapfn lo ova/>tlv fha cono fnimfl'ic
wwv^w *0 LUV OU. W ?? I
which are used ill every imaginable ro- !
tation are subject to both of those
troubles which prove so disastrous to
cotton, so where we use the common
varieties of cowpeas in our rotation
we are encouraging both of these diseases.
There are two varieties of cowpeas>
however, which are free from
both root and knot wilt. These varieties
are the Iron and the Brabham;
and it is with the view of calling attention
to these and emphasizing the
necessity for their more general use
that this article is written.
The South Carolina farmer can not
farm without cowpeas, yet where wilt
and root knot occur he can not grow
the common varieties; and it is not
safe for him. to plant them even where
they do make some growth, because
they encourage the same disease of
cotton. It is wise then to secure and
grow the varieties which are resistant
to both of these diseases?the Iron
and the Brabham varieties. These varieties
are quite generally grown in
some sections of the State, but are still
unknown to many farmers who are
badly in need of them. There is a
great demand for pure seed of these
varieties now, which demand is sure
to increase; so' it behooves all who
have these varieties to plan to save j
all the seed possible. Xo other variety
of cowpeas should be used on any farm
where wilt or root knot occur.
A good rotation to practice where
wilt and root knot occur is to follow
cotton with corn?planting Iron or
Brabham cowpeas, in the corn. Follow
the corn with oats or wheat, then sow j
the stubble in Iron or Brabham peas, j
After the peas, sow rye as a winter
cover crop and plow it under before
time to plant cotton the next spring.

In Harper's, for March, William Gil- j
more Beymer, tells the true story of j
Mrs. Greenhow, a Washington woman j
of gentle birth who acted as a spy for j
the Confederacy and gave the informa- |
tion which resulted in the Confederate;
? ? i
victory at Bull Kun.
"Washington lay ringed about with
camps of new-formed regiments, drilling
feverishly. Already the press and
public had raised the cry, 'on to Richmond.'
When would they start?
Where would they first strike? It wjis
on those two points th_. die Confederate
plan of campaign hinged. It

where he anxiously awaited
tidings of the Federal advance, there
came about the 10th of July the message
from Mrs. Greenhow. The message
told of the intended advance of I
the enemy acros the Potomac and on j
to Manassas via Fairfax court house J
and Centreville. It was brought into
the Confederate lines by a young
lady of Washington, Miss Duval, who, j
disguised as a market girl, carried the |
message to a house near Fairfax court
house, occupied by the wife and daughters
(Southern born) of an officer in
the federal army. Gen. Beauregard at
once commenced his preparations for
receiving the attack, and sent one of {
his aides to President Davis to com- j
municate the information and to urge
the immediate concentration of the
scattered Confederate forces.

shore of the Potomac to a ferry

that she 'received a copy of the

'had not used her powers in vain l

Col. Jordan's reply:
" 'Yours was received at 8 o'clock
at night. Let them come; we are ready
for them. We rely upon you for precise
information. Be particular as to
description and destination of forces,
quantity of artillery, etc.'
"She was ready with fresh informa- j
tion, and the messenger was sent back I
with the news that the federals in- j
tended to cut the Manassas Gap rail- j
road to prevent Johnson, at Winchester,
from reinforcing Beauregard. After
that there was nothing to be done
but await the result of the inevitable
battle. She had done her best. What
that best was worth she learned when
she received from Col. Jordan the
treasured message:

you for further information. The Confederacy

then and quietly detaching a bell from
Baldwin's old blind horse, approached
the well, bell in hand, and began to
ting-a-ling.
Jack thought the old horse was coming
and said: "Hang the old blind

he ain't got on more sense than to fall
in on me. Whoa, Ball!"
The sound came closer.
"Great Jerusalem! The old blind

An Irishman walked up Fifth avenue,
dropped into a Presbyterian
church and immediately went to sleep.
After the services were over the sexton
came and shook him by the arm.
"We are about to close up," said
that functionary, "and I'll have to
ask you to go now."
"What talk have you?" said the
Irishman. 'The cathedral never
closes.
"This is not the cathedral," said the
sexton. "The cathedral is several
blocks above here. This is a Presbyterian
church."
The Irishman, sat up with a jerk and
looked about him. On the walls between
the windows were handsome
paintings of the Apostles.
"Ain't that Saint Luke over yon
der? he demanded.
"It is," said the sexton.
"And Saint Mark just beyant him?"
"Yes."
"And, still farther along, Saint
Timothy?"
"Yes."
