From early morning until late at
night the streets were thronged, and
It Is said over 30,000 people visited
the camp of the old veterans in Un
fair grounds. While, thousands of
visitors did not leave the business seo

miles distant, where t he opening exer

The men in blue light their annual

Preparations'of lands made rapid
progress, except tliat Dittom lands

calities the week was uniformly fav
orable for farm work, but, owing to
the prevailing low temparature. was
unfavorable for germination of plant
ed seeds over the central and western
counties, and for the.growth of young
crops, especially corn and truck. The
former is yellow and sickly in places.
There is a scarcity of good corn and
cotton seed.
Corn planting is nearing completion
oveTthe eastern count ies, where much
is up to fairly good stands, but not
uniformly so, atid where cultivation
has begun; over the central counties
most of Uie corn crop has been plant
ed. although hut- little is up; while
over the western counties only a small
portion lias been planted, and scarcely
any is up. Cut worms and crows have
damaged stands, necessitating some
replanting.

Appelt also produced a paper show

Tillman's reply and defense con
sumed about three hours and only
"shreds and patches” of it can be
stated here. He was only an humble
senator from Washington. He had

said that \he sworn statements in tlie

They Were Convicted.
One of the most interesting cases
tried at Greenville fora long-time was
against men who made tin attack up
on Mr. Thomas M. Hill, the depot
agent at Greer’s, in which he was so
seriously wounded tliat his life hung in
the > 3lance for some days, while he
was confined to his home on account
of the wounds for several months.
The men who were arrested -for this
dastardly crime gave their names as
