Spring oats are a failure and gar dens up to this time in the same category; but corn and cotton are all right and wheat, a good deal of which is already harvested, is only a partial failure. Those who manured their wheat generously and prepared the ground well have made a fair crop, while slip shod methods have produced, as usual, only a crop of disappointment. There is yet ample time and a big chance for gardens. Every man now who has possession of a square rod of ground should plant it in vegetables and hope for an abundant supply for his table. IM'AIU AND I'M'Ol'NDKD. A news letter from Union to the News and Courier last week with reference to Limestone College does great injustice to the college and its friends as well as to the Greenville Female College. The letter was copied by the Greenville News with out comment, but with headlines that are widely misleading. The letter is a strange distortion of facts and makes the impression that Gaffney and the friends of Lime stone College are planning and working to demolish the Greenville Female College and make it a Fitting School for Furman I'niversity ai d Lunestone College. The writer iur- tiier states that Limestone College is to be turned over to the liaptist State Convention and made the State C dlcge for ihe denomination. l n- less the types have gone astray, lie also strangely perverts figures as well as facts, when he undertakes to teil the amount of money raised for Litneslom. Now, the amount of inon y raised for Limestone is about fifteen thous and dollars, instead of fifteen hun dred, as stated by the aforesaid cor respondent. It is quite probable that five thousand dollars more l \ill be added in completing the projected plans for the college. It is the de termination of the trustees and of those who are generously supporting them to put the college on the highest possible plane, to equip ir in a manner equal to the best, to em ploy the strongest faculty that money can secure,—in a word to put the college in a condition to do « work that will command respect and patronage all over the country. In working for sucli an end, Lfie idea of crushing or crippling, or in anywise injuring any other college, has never entered their heads nor found a lodgement in their hearts. Their sole purpose is to equip Limestone College for doing us good work as can be done anywhere else, and then tojet it stand or full solely upon iH merits, They wish other colleges all possible good and will strive with them in generous rivalry for the pro motion of the great cause of educa tion. Whether the college will be offered to the .State Convention and whether i fie Convention would deem it advisa ble to assume control of it, in case it were offered, are questions at this time of little or no interest. The college, as we have said, will rtdy solely on its own merits for success and will not look to the Convention ror to any other extraneous source for factitious aid. We hope that the News and Cour ier and the Greenville Nows es pecially will kindly give publicity to to the facts which we have here stated. NOT KS AND COM >1 UN I S.

Charles I’inekney was Governor at that time. In LS118 Patrick Noble, of Abbeville, was elected Governor. The Legislature up to the civil war elected the Governor. That was done early in December and the in auguration took place a few days af ter the eleection. In 1810 Patrick Noble died and was succeeded by II. K. llenagan, Lieutenant Governor. That was the first lime in the history of the State when a Lieutenant Gov ernor was called on to fill the execu tive office. No other Governor died in office until the death of Governor Eilcrbe. So far as we know every Gov ernor after Noble’s time served his full term until Hampton's time. He was elected Governor in J87<* and again 1878 Soon after his second election he was elected to the Senate of the United States and Lieutenant Governor Simpson succeeded him. before his term expired he was elected Chief Justice and J. II. Jeter, presi dent pro tem. of the senate, took the oath of office and wa-* Governor fur a few months. In 1880 Gem ral John son Hagood was electid < ov.or.or. When the election of 1881' (nine he utinouuced that he was not a candi date for re-election. A scramble for the office followed and when the con vention seemed to lie tending towards a deadlock, Hugh 8. Thompson’s name was put forward and he was elected, with John C. Sheppard as Lieut'Governor. In July, 188(i Hugh 8. Thompson and his entire ticket were re-elected. In July, 188i), Gov. Thompson resigned the Governorship to accept the office of Assistont Sec- netnry of the Treasurer under Pres ident Cleveland. Mr. Sheppard then became Governor and served until the end of the term. In IS8<» John IVter Richardson and W. L. Mauldin as running male were elected, and re elected in 1888. In 18110 the Till man regime came in and each Gov ernor has served his full term until the death of Governor Ellc-rbe.

Thu liumUoine Ihtilge Worn by HIhh ItHinlolpli -tien. W'heoiur Ko- ci-lve* an Otullou. Before proceeding with our reunion narrative, we wish to go hack a little and tell of our visit to the headquar ters of It. E. Lee Camp, U. C. Veter ans, of Virginia, which we did at the kind invitation of one of its members. There is a secret influence in the vet eran’s houit that draws him naturally towards the godmother of the Confed eracy— Virginia—and there is great respect for the “Land of Washing ton.” This wo think is equally sig nificant when called the “Land of Lee and Jackson.” With these signifi cant and pleasant reflections to at tract, it was very natural for us to visit the headquarters of 'he Virginia veterans. The camp was in command of A. C. F'euy. It carries on its roll many of the most distinguished citizens of the Old Dominion. What we claim for Camp Lee is more or loss applicable to the other Virginia camps—espe cially those of A. 1‘. Hill and George E. 1'ickett. But wo have not and don’t intend to draw a line between them and any others as to their gen eral make-up of men or general ap pearances. All were Confedirate sol diers and fought for the same cause and with the same view, and that is sufficient. We hold to the fact that | there is us much honor, (yea, even ! more,) due the poor backwoods pri- ! vale soldier, who stood at his post t and did his duty like a man, when he ; had nothing at stake but his honor, ; tliuri is due the gold-laced officer i whose special privileges often placed | him out of the range of bullets und ■ shells. It was our privilege to compare the Charleston with the Richmond re unions, and these veterans were ful some in their praises of the reception they hud met with in the Palmetto State. They spoke freely of Churles- ; ton and its brave defense of the South ern cause. They admitted that Vir ginia hud the largest delegation at Charleston that it has ever sent to any reunion. Th« State's sponsor was Miss Nina Randolph, and her maid of honor Misa Anna Stuart Magill. The badge worn by Mias Randolph was beyond doubt the handsomest worn by any of the sponsors. It consisted of a clasped bar of white ivory with the word “Vir ginia” in blue letters; a strip of yel low silk, with cross sabres, for “cav alry;” then a strip of red silk, with cross cannon, for “artillery;” then a strip of blue silk, with cross muskets und an anchor in monogram, for “in fantry and the navy.” These were in horizontal lines, while in perpen dicular lines ran three strips of rtd, white and blue, representing the col ors of the Confederacy, on which were the words: * * SI'ONHOK FOR VI K<; INI A, I . ('. V. REUNION, < iiAiu.bSToN, s. ( May lorn I.'Jtii, * * This exquisite workmanship, so ele gant in design and emblumutic in its teaching, was presented Miss Ran dolph hy ltie veterans of R. E. Lee Camp No. 1, Confeuorate Veterans of Richmond, Vu. The short lime spent with the the Virginians was very pleasant. Their accounts of the old battle-fields and how they look at the present day was very interesting, and to a brother Confederate wishing information they were ull anxious to add something to his store of knowledge. Many of the fields upon which American valor was fully demonstra ted and stamped in indelible colors on the pages of history, to ho read hy future generations, are now waving with golden grain and luscious fruits, and wherever it is known that the dust of a Southern soldier sleeps, lov ing hands with warm hearts have marked the place, and annually the mound is covered with choicest flow ers. It is held sacred, because •'Somebody's darling slumber* there." The opening exercises of the con vention on Thursday morning showed that interest ir. the reunion had by no means ditd out during the night. It was nearly II o’clock when Gen. Gor don culled the conventiou to order. He asked all present to join in sing ing: "1‘i'iiisi* (jml from whom all hlegulnx* How." '1 his request was met with a general response, und Rev. Jus Rower Smith, D. I) , of Stonewall Jackson’s staff, offered a fervent and impressive prayer. We would be pleased to re produce it, hut suffice it to say, he Invoked God's richest blessing on the whlow of Stonewall Jackson, and all others who were made widows and orphans hy the war. He paid a high compliment to Gen. Gordon und other survivors, and the immortal deeds of those who haw passed over the river. It was very touching in sentiment, and was made doubly so by coming from the lips of Stonewall Jackson’s spiritual adviser. We have never In life seen and felt more reverence than was displayed during that precious moment. Dr. Smith is a member of Camp Lee, U. C. Veterans. He en tered the Confederate service with the Rockbridge (Va) Artillery und wan afterwards promolcd to captain on Stonewall Jackson’s staff. When Gen. Jackson was mortally wounded at Chancellersville, Capt. Smith was also wounded by the same volley, but | was si ill able to walk. As Gen. Jack- ] son was being carried from the Held I one of the litter horses was shot down ; hy the terrible storm of bullets. It I was during this trying moment that ; Dr. Smith placed hiiusolf between the enemy and his beloved commarder to protect him from further harm from the terrible fire. How truly does the scripture treat—that “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friend ” (See St. John, 15 :15. Gen. Gordon then culled for reports from the committee on resolutions and credentials, and Georgia not hav ing reported, said: “Georgia was never known to bo behind.” Then there was a hunt for Georgia. “Geor gia is all right,” came from the rear of the room. Gen. Gordon said some thing about the tardiness of the Vir ginia delegation. He spoke in a pleas ant mood. South Carolina reported T. W. Carwilo on resolutions and Jas. A. Hoyt on credentials. There were reported present at the reunion 172t> delegates, representing 1181) camps. Of this number South Carolina had 125 camps and 22‘J dele gates. When Gen. Gordon introduced Gen eral Wheeler the demonstration was harder to describe than it is to imag ine. Gen. (Jordon said: “And now, comrades, I have in store a treat fer you, if I should tell this convention that we have with us the hero of San tiago.” That was enough. Applause after applause followed when it was understood what was coming. Calls for Wheeler! Wheeler! mixed with “Bring out Wheeler. Let’s hear from Joe Wheeler. Hurrah for Fighting Joe Wheeler.' ” Gen. Gordon (than whom no man has a better command of language) continued in exactly these words: “Comrades—If I should tell you that although he has a very small fool he brought it down with great force at El Cnnej, and that he bore to lha front the American ling.” Hero an other whirlwind of applause set in, and such a demonstration cannot well he defecrihed. The crowd was satis fied with that introduction, and some enthusiastic admirers on the stage wanted to pull Gen. Wheeler to the front. But Gen. Gordon was deter mined to have hit say, anyhow, and ho cried out: “What’s the matter with )on? Can’l you wait till I get through?” As soon as order was re stored he continued: “If I should tell you that at Santiago, when he saw the Spaniards flying, he forgot where he was and cried, “Forward boys, the Yankees are running!’ If I should relate any of these things I should strike a responsive chord in every Confederate heart; but 1 urn not going to do that, 1 urn going to strike on the chords of your hearts at one stroke and aet them vibrating at once by announcing the name of Joe Wheeler—the wlxiard of the Confed eracy.” That was sufficient. The demon stration that followed was indescriba ble, and cheer after cheer wus echoed and re echoed until drowned hy the hands playing Dixie. Gen. Wheeler, who Is rather a small man, stood quietly, with one hand on the table, and after awhile stepped to the front and began his speech, fre quently-referring to Ids manuscript. A sufficient extract from his speech has already been published to justify our omitting it here. Most of our readers have seen what he said. As he began to speak some follow in the rear of the hall, evidently under the influence of John Barleycorn, hal looed out, “Wo don’t want to hear anything from you; we want to hear from John B. Gordon.” This would- be-smart-Aleok got no sanction, and the contemptible silence with which ho was treated must have made him feel hud. Gen. Wheeler proceeded, paying no attention if he heard that fellow. I made no inquiry to find out who he was. Didn’t cure to know anything of him. Everybody spoke in highest terms of Gen. Wheeler’s address. He spoke for nearly an hour. Letters from Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, from near Havana, Cuba, and Miss Mildred Lee, were read, each regret ting the causes which pre vented their being present. Miss Mildred Lee had been specially invited to come ns the guest of the L’niled Confederate Vet erans’ Association. j. r,. h.

Maymakd, 8. C., June t.—Mrs. El mer Hodges, of Gaffney, and Mrs. Frank Smith, of Easley, spent one day last week visfting the family of Mr. John Roptr of this section. Mrs. Hodges has been spending some time visiting friends and relations at Eas ley—her native heath. T. T. Wimpy went to Central last Friday on business und returned Sat urday. Mr. B. A. G reen and family spent Saturday and Sunday in Greenville county visiting Mr. Green’s mother. Our drought still continues. There is a great deal of land that is not yet planted, and which cannot be planted until it rains, and the lute planting of both corn and cotton is not yet up, and can’t come up until it rains. We think that the Ledger is a little too harri on the lawyers, and espe cially so on those who are defending .Mrs. Mattie A. Hughes. As for our part, if wo had a case In court, and the lawyer would not exert his whole knowledge of the law in our behalf, we would want another lawyer. What use would lawyers be if there were no Intricate technicalities in law? I am sore that there is noons who is being himself tried for any offence that will ever object to his lawyer taking any and every possible advantage of the law in his behalf. To the host of our recollection, the principal ground upon which the judge overruled the motion to dismiss the case against Mrs. Hughes was not that the motion was irregular or contrary to law, but that they had failed to substantiate their claim to the satisfaction of the judge, and he remarked in his decis ion that if lie went wrong that the de fense had a remedy for the correction of the wrong. It would seem, from the trend of the Ledger of the 2.1 In stant, that all that he would require of his lawyer would be to examine the witneases, and perhaps make u little speech to the jury, and “let ’er roll.” Bui 1 think that it is the sol emn duty of a lawyer to bring into play all the ability that ho may pos se**, inside the pale of the law, In behalf of his client.

Lipscomb, after having suffered much for eighteen days and after having tenaciously held to this life for several day* after death had been imminent, responded to the want of Him Who knows best. Little Grace could not talk but it was still the sadder to see the dear little one even at almost the last moment look into her attentive, constant und loving mother’s face as if asking for help. She thought her mother was her only comforter. That lesson should have taught the thinking grieved ones that watched her to the end that a time will come to us all when science and skill, and, last hut not leas*, a loving mother cannot give us relief and that the AM Heal ing must come to our rescue.
