The trouble ending in the sus pension of Massey had its begin ning when Major Richardson, chair man of the board of commissioners and a salaried officer, appointee of Gov. Blease. told Edward J. Jones, a Confederate vetefen, but not an inmate of the Soldiers’ Home, that he could rot hold his Job as hospit.-l steward at the home if he did not bestir himself in behalf of 'Blease. Massey heard of the threat, and understood that It applied to all employees whether .inmates of the home or not and so reported it. Lat'f, Maj. Richardson, in a talk at the home, denied that he referred to all employees. Mr. Massey was not then allow ed a hearing rod made a statement In the newspapers.

This was our first visit to this section. Col leton county is down cTnse to the Atlantic coast and d level, sandy sec tion. / Though an old county, they are Just now getting through with turpentining ard saw milling and commencing to farm right. The county Is largely settled with white farmers who own their own homes. They have the best crops in this county that we have seen this p?ar We didn’t see a grassy crop or a poor one in the county. It was like comir-z upon an oasis in the desert, to Me their fine,corn and cotton after seeing so many poor crops In other aectloce. Still these f;.-mers have their troubles. They have the wire worms in Colleton and they are doing a great deal of damage in certain fields. This wire-worm is r. small white worm that ftever gets larger than a knit ting needle. They multiply by the thousands, and getting or* the roots cf the corn nr cotton suck them to death.’ In June they develop into a small grub or Jr-rva and thence into a brownish beetle. They do not do anp damage much after June so the farmers can grow a lets crop of corn or cotton or they can grow a fair crop of oats on the land. Wire-worms are a serious pest for the sandy sections where they begin to propagate. There were over a thousand peo ple out to the picnic and we certain ly er*’oyed meeting with these peQr pie. They hc-ve a good county down in Colleton, and Walterboro, the county site. Is a beautiful old town, with large lots and fine trees. In fact, we hr.ve n?ver seen finer trees than we saw in Colleton county, which shows that their sandy soil has the strength In it.—The South ern Cultivator. D 1 * -1- > M-ag rraessmai nonces.
