Mr. Legare was warmly received by his many friends in Clarendon who were glad to see him and note the improved condition of his health. Your correspondent had the pleasure of listening to Mr. Legare in a full and replete expose on the tariff, and Canadian and general reciprocity which was pleasing and instructive and convinced his auditors thbat he was mas ter of the subject and fully competent to act at thie opportune moment- to the best interest of the country and the great Democratic party of which he is a recognized leader in the lower house of the United States Congress. Mr. Le gare hias a large influence in Washing ton, and if the Democrats are elected to the central of the National government he will be a power at the National Cap itol and will then be in position to ren der greater service to his distriet, the state and the greater South--our South land-the garden spot of the Western world. Mr. Legare had intended vis iting many other points in Clarendon but only a few days remained before Conress would convene, and not wish ing to slight his host of friends in Ber keley county he was forced to cut short his visit here.

It is a fact that present conditions in many respects are different. from what the were two years or' even one year ago, and notwithstanding the efforts be ing made to relief, the results of the "resent cotton crop depression, it ap f'e'ars to the writter that there should be some legislative action ,both 'State and national, with a view to incoutrage and protect the interest of the soil pro ducers of the country. Hence, Mr. Editor, I suggest that you call township meetings (announce in aper) of the citizens of each town hip to meet at a certain place (naming th plase) on a cprugo day. making the date as early as practable to' discuss this matter, "and matters generally. tind elcct delegates to a caunty convention so that we may get in touch with all our people ana suggest to our law makers the enactment of such laws as 'e thiiC'ouhi rilieve the present de rpssed bonditions t na provide against W.
