TmE President has appointed Judge Manning, of Louisiana, minister to Mexico to succeed Mr. Jackson, whose resignation was tendered some weeks ago. SIEonrTAnY MANNING Is improving slowly, but those who should know say he will never again attempt to supervise the arduous details of the treasury department. JUDGE BitYAN, of Charleston, has resigned his position as United States District Judge.' His resignation has been forwarded to President Cleveland for Immediate action. There are three aspirants in the field for the position Col. Chas. Ii. Simonton and Gen. Edward McCrady, of Charleston, and Col. Fitz James Caldwell, of New berry. Either one of thes. gentlemen would fill the position with dignity, and the President could not mistake if he appoiated either. However, Col. Simonton seems to be the leader in the race, and will probably carry off the honor. SECrETAl BAYARD has been the subject of severe criticismn since the details of the special envoy's spree in the City of Mexico have been made public. It is stated that when Mr. Sedgwick lived in Washington a few years ago he led just such a life as is described, and that tne Secretary should have known the man whom he was sending on so important a mission. Many look upon it as a national disgrace and say that Mr. -7.>.. -.um .iroi .C thoe r61ts be true the envoy should be immedi ately recalled and som1o one sent who will represent the American people honorably. Tn E .News and C'ourier' of Septem ber 1 devotes most of its space to a review of the trade of the three cities of South Carolina during the past year. Charleston leads the list with a total business (luring the p)ast year ot over $36,000,000. There has beeni a general increase in almost every busi nest. While it has beeni a yeatr of general depression throughout the en tire country, we see no reason wvhy Charleston should not be well satisfied with her showing, as seen from the report in Wednesday's paper. Columr bia, Greenvilie and Spartanburg all make good showings, far better than we would think without making a thorough investigationi. While just at present the outlook in somne branches of business (lees not seenm encourag ing, yet our people should not despair, but exert every effort and energy to make the next step one onward and up ward1 On tihe tihe road which leads to general p)rospecrity. An Interesting Article on an Initerestin,g Subject. The pea ought to 1)0 mtade by every farmer as an extra crop). As'to p)lant lug and cultivation a practical, good managing farmer can hlave it so under favorable circumstances. By planlt - ing your corn crop as early in March as the seasons w ill allow, and working rapidly, wvith good seasonis, by pea planting time, the 10th of June, you will not have more than one or two furrowvs to the corn row that needs to be seen. Then comes in your pea planting--that only takes tile place of corn working. Now as to my mode of planting and cultivating. I always try to plant not later than the 10th of Julno anId plant by opening Atrrow with an eight-inch straight shovel plough, having rows on ordinary lands about thirty inohes. Drop the pha thirty inches in drill, puitting nIOt less than twelve to fifteen .peas, wvoll oleanod, ini every hill; not scatterlng, but putting in a huddle; cover with one furrow, using a similar plough, running On tile low side of the 11111 or la? off' furrows righit and left. Just as soon as tIle pea puts on the fifth loaf, righit then you must give them dirt, by running 91ne furrow in variably on the samo side you cover from. By this time your .r'OW will be ploughed out: if not, in a week or ton daye givo a furrow on opposite side, using the same plough. By this time you will have beeni over y'our cotton crop the second tline wVith the ho0o. Thou chOp through your pa .jgl due time give them one .furro 5 twouty-inch sweep, and yout 'p$ mad e with five ftrrows, Includinglaj& off hriow. As to gathering. If' you latkt the speckled pea, which I think is by fai the best variety, all things considered, its early maturity and a bunch gro.wth will thereby enable you undo favora ble seasons to gather a fair ioking before your cottuu comes on and by picking the pea as it ripons they will continue to bear. A band can pick more of the speckled pea than alny other variety because they cluster or bunch, thereby enabling him to pek as miany. pound's in weight of peas as ho can of cotton under the sauo circumstances. One hundred pounds of speckled peas in the hull wIll turn out a bushel of nicely clegned peas. Now as to the pea as a food. There is always some risk in feeding in any shape. I only feed in the hull or ground, and nothing is equal to pea neal and a little chopped hay or roughness of any kind, for oxen or a milch cow; and almost any common cow fed in this way will make Jersey butter in color and much better tasted. As to economical mule feeding, peas in the hull, with shelled oats, which is corn and fodder both, is by far the best I have over tried. Ido not gather nor feed the vino to, any extent. I have two principal reasons. The first and most important is that the vine ought to be left on the land as a fer tilizer, and the second is, if we cure' the vino as most planters do (not farmers) by pulling up the vine, pile in heaps and the next week haul in house, when nothing is left but the dry stem, containing about as much nutri ment as the dry cotton stalk in mid winter, and not as digestible. But if you care nothing for the improvement and reclaiming of your old -worn and exhausted hills, and must have feed, put them up in stacks on the George Brown plan. Gather and stack while green on ita limbed pole, handle care fully and save leaf, pod and stein. When that is done your land is im poverished more than you would think or imagine, as I will endeavor to show by the p.tactical results of one of the most successful farmers in our State-Dr. Barton, president of the A ricultural Society of Orangeburg. Whten lie bought his place, since the war, it was very poor and his neigh bors laughed at him. The place would hardly bring peas, as one of his neigh bors told me. Now, from what I have heard and fron what the Doctor has told me, ho has used the pea its a fer tilizeri longer, more extensively, and with better results, than any other farmer in the State. lie sows or plants his stubble in peas and when matured, or later, ho turns them under, and there they remain all winter. In his cultivated cotton lands, at last ploughing, he sows from one, to oie and a half bushels of speckled peas per acre, and lots everything remain nectsary'or seed an(t food, and with the vine, loaf and pod, together with all that is on the cotton stalk, gives him a better coating of vegitable matter than he could possibly gather fomn the woods and broadcast, putting his hinds in fine condition for theo re cep)tiont of commercial fertilizers. The results wore astounadin g. Four~ or five years ago he had brought his lands up to a bale per acre. Now, it we he farmers would p)ractisu the sameo methtods, we woitld b)e crowined with sutccessful results and we would yet see life in tis old land. Next as to the potato as a feed cr01p. It is m'y experience that ino onto crop that wve planit is equald to the potato as a food. More good feed caii be made on Otto acre planted int sweet, potatoes thtant anything a farmer can grew. Thte yild is sitnply enormous. Mr. Thes. Riabb,' of this county,' a few years ago made fottr hundred bushels to the acre--measured and certified to by Avitnesses. Mr. Tomtmie Robert son, of Longtown, a man of uni donbted veracit,y, made five hundred measured bushels to one acre. Now as a money crop, that pays better anti brings a better moneyed incomoe even at forty or fifty cents per bushel, than antything we plant. Only of late years have I realized their value as food. I have fattened my bacon fhogs for the last three years almost entirelv ont potatoes. I thinik thny make th'e sweetest meat, aitd the lard will (be like snow-fiakes. Whenm fed to milk. cows alone there is nothing better thait sweet potatoes, anid the vines p)ulled and stacked when green make the swveetest long food, containing moro nutriment thtan anything I have ever fed. I fed my milk cows on them for foutr months last winter, with pay ig results. ini feedinig the potato to liege that vou intendl for bacotn, give them all the salt they will eat. Keep salt in an extra trough sheltered ftron the rains. A hog wlli not fattotn with out free access to salt. To keep or preserve the potatoes through the win totr, always d ig before the least frost falls on the vine. If you do not the vinto will be injured as a food and p)ossibly the p)otato wvill be damaged, for some varieties grow necarer the surface, andt the least frost will afl'ect the potato. Ti is otto prime cauiso of spoiling in witer. .Bank anid house ivhent di-y, cover lightly until they go through a sweat atd dry, thani a(dd dirt as tite weather gets eQlder. .Iu' variably elctor and keep thte potato dry. If you wille titus handie your crop they wvill keep well alliWhnter andi be nice atnd sweet in th'e spring. If the potato get' too'hot they will take what I call a dry' rot N. o. RI. Saved His-Life.
