Strain in Which He Pays a Glowing Tribute to the Wo men of the South. By special request we publish be low a portoo of ao address delivered by Co). J. L. Strain, of Etta Jane, to the Daughters of the Confederacy, at Jonesville on the 3rd inst. The one who sent in the article with request to publish, says: “These patriotic remarks coming from a brave Con federate soldier will be read with much interest. I would be glad for you to publish all of the address if you had room, but the entire speech would fill five colums of The Ledger. It is a fine production and contains much history that ought to be read by our people who know so little about what others of our people did and suffered in the days of the war, and how true they were.” The portion of the address sent ns contains Col. Strain’s concluding re marks, and is as follows: “In conclusion I beg to present another chapter of this sad drama, it is that made by the noble women of the South during and since the war. We cannot afford to ignore their help, or withhold the praise due them and maintain our own honor. God pity the man who can’t trace some noble act of his life back to woman’s love and influence where it had its origin. When a Federal of ficer asked General Joe E. Johnson after the surrender of Vicksburg why the South didn’t surrender her armies and stop the war, he replied: ‘Sir, our women would never consent to it.’ Corp< ral Tanner, an ex-Union soldier, said in an address at the Con federate Reunion in Richmond, Va., in July, 189G : ‘If it hadn’t been for the women of the South we would have whipped you in less time than one year.’ ‘The women of the South.’ These words convey a eulogy in themselves, and ara so interwoven with the South ern history as to give it its brightest page and sweetest charms. It is a phrase that epitomizcs|all that is no ble and exalted—a type of al- that is gracious and refined, blending the patriotism of a Joan of Arc with the heroism of the Maid of Saragossa You’re wise if you have an Insurance —inspiring faith with fervor and generation tojgeneration. And above ail, God forbid tiiat this land should ever be drenched again with the blood of contending armies speaking the same language and springing from the same race. On the contrary may He grant that, the causes of strife be ing at last all extinct, peace and har mony may prevail and make this land in truth,and no' oerely in name, the asylum of human liberty. God bless the noble women of our country and especially those of our Southland, for they are the wives, mothers,daughters, sisters and sweet hearts of heroes. Lastly, comrades, daughters, sons and friends— When this life with us shnll he no more and final taps shall sound, And in Death’s great battle we appear; When the good'of all the armies shall tent on yonder camping ground, And the roll is called up yonder, let’s be there. When the roll is called up yonder, When the roll is called up yonder. When the roll is called up yonder, When the roll is called up yonder, let’s be there. Finally, ^daughters, comrades and fellow-countrymen, when that mo ment comes to me which is too sol emn for my lips to mention, ‘i nd this mortal shall have put on immor tality,’ all I ask of you is to wrap my lifeless body up in the flag of my nation and lay it down in an humble grav withjno monument to mark its last resting place {save and except Constitutional liberty and an im perishable Union of the States.” CROP BULLETIN. ‘Office over National -Bank.

WOMEN AND SOCIETY. [All Communications to this column should be addressed to P. O. Box 304.1 The difference between French and American women is less marked than it was formally—in dress and in man ners, that is—but there is still one point of marked contrast. The Frenchwoman will not wear bright colors on the street; the Ameri can not only will, but does. In Farit dressmakers have certain toilets which they term carriage toil ets, certain hats which they call car riage hats, and these comprise every thing which attracts attention by its odd form or color. The French woman nearly always has some wrap of a subdued, demure shade from which chrysalis she emerges a radi ant butterfly.

C, June 22.— The week ending 8 a. ra., Monday, June 22nd, bad a mean temperature of 78 degrees, which is about 1 degree be low normal. There is general com plaint of cool nights checking the growth of cotton. The week’s sun shine was about normal. The extreme western counties had no rain, the west central ones light or none, while the east central and northeastern counties had excessive precipitation, and the coast regions had moderate rains. Lands were badly washed and eroded in Bamberg county and adjacent sections. The excessive rains were unfavorable on growing crops, as the soil was previ ously well supplied with moisture, and the need of the crop was dry weather and cultivation. The rains interrupted cultivation, and stimula ted the growth ol grass and weeds. Rain is needed in the western coun ties to soften hard and crusted lands and make them tillable. Damaging hail occurred over extensive areas in Baraborg, Barnwell, Beaufort, Berke ley, Clarendon. Orangeburg, Sumter and Williamsburg counties, and hail doing slight damage occurred in Hampton, Lexington, Florence, Col leton, Darlington. Marlboro and Ma rion counties. Cotton and tobacco suffered most, though corn was also affected. Cultivation made rapid progress, and was vigorously prosecuted, ex cept. where rains interfered, and fields are gradually being rid of grass and weeds, although grassy fields of corn and cotton are the rule rather than the exception. The week was on the whole favora ble on corn, and early corn is being laid by. Some is tasselling low. Bottoms are being replanted as they become sufficiently dry. The crop is late. Coiton lacks uniformity, some just coming up, and some not yet chopped, and ranges from extremely poor to good. It is small for the season, and Mrs. G. W.

The women of the South were our greatest sufferers during the war. as they are from its results. Holding positions of ease and comfort | in all their domestic relations—when the wheel of fortune turned against us and all was lost—the ease and grace with which they ad ipted them selves to the new order of things and went to work to rebuild their shat tered fortunes called forth expressions of admiration at home and abroad.

Trough, June 23.—Notice ie here by given to the colored churches and Sabbath schools of Thickety Moun tain that Green Bethel church and school will not be able to entertain the annual Sunday School Convention this year. The church is near Pacolet river between Fajolet Mills and the Clif- tons, which were destroyed by the re cent flood. So our people made a part of their living by working and trading at those factory towns; some of our women wasbtd, ironed and cooked; eome of the boys and girls sold plums and blackberries, and most of us farmers sold wood, milk and butter. But now all 6t that is stopped; and, consequently, we are now suffering from the loss of our trades and labor. I have several dol lars worth of wood cut and cannot sell any. The cbnrob and community saw what a bad condition they were left Id by the flood, and on the 14th idst., they voted, 22 to 1, that they would not be able to take tbe annual Sun day School Convention. We will give the official notice soon. We are sorry that we are iu such a condition. W. G. Patterson. Notice to Colored School Teachers.
