Good for the Experimental Stations* A very important meeting of the State bourd ot Agriculture was belli in Columbia on Thursday last. Among other interesting matters which were acted upon was that of the Ex|>erimental Stations, the fol lowing account of which is taken from tie- m nm. s oi th>‘ Hoard : The Bfbtr* anburg station wa* in spected . n Fei»rnar> ‘28. The haud'Ome co’tage had been com plH.d • d » subs' ntial barn mar ly finished. Al the surroundings will b ptetiy and a: ratnive. Fourteen acres h ive been dtvideu into pints of 1 loth acre tor ex perimeutal put poses, lu the fait sixteen varieties of wheat uD t sev eral of oats wete planted and twenty varieties ot grass ; twenty acres w 1 be planted to cotton, twenty tu corn, ten in corn for ensilage, holt acre in tol>a co and several acres in new crops. At the Dnrliti!.' on farm, visited February 21), the committee were welcomed by a ootumujee of ci:i- z ns. The bui dings, Ac, were duplicates ot those at Spartanburg. Preparations are being made for exp riinentH in corn, cotton, eugar- cune tobacco, sorghum, Ac. The propositi iUsubmitted by the board of tiu-tees of the University is to the follow tug filed : Out of the Hatch fund the ti ns tees will apply $10,000 for tBeanla ries ol the director or scientific staff tor stations, or cost of sciett title investigations,chemical*, pO't age, office service, lu> 1. publication of bulletins anti reports Ac and will lump the remainder, $5,000, with au equal amount to be advan ced by the board of agriculture. This $10,000 to be equally divided between the three experimental farms at Spartanburg, Darlington and Columbia. These are all to he under one control, directors ami management, and the results oftne experiments, tests, Ac, a each, to be included in annual report. This proposition virtnaliv relieves the State stations of the payment of salary of director and cost ot publications, Ac. gives all the ad vantages of a large scientific stall, consisting of a director, assisiaut chemists, a miueradst and photo grapher, a beumst and entomolo gist, a microscopist and bacteriolo gist. sad a veterinarian, and turns over absolutely to the State farms the «um of $16,066 66. The $5,000 advanced by tin department of ag> riculture will all be spent, on the State farms which won deach there fore enjoy an income of $3,33d,33: $800 lor s dary ot supenuLendent and $2,533 33 for running expen ses. This proposition is so liberal and so manifestly to the advantage ot our stations hat we recommend its unqualified acceptance. As the money to be applied to our farms from the Hatch fund will be drawn Upon the order ot the cha.rmau ol the executive Committee ot the board of trustees upon th“ treasury of the university, and the amount Ulus piovided tor encli Irom (D u lingtou and Spartanburg) will b<‘ $833 33 all d tiiculty as to the delay in seeunug ihe ssins necessary lor weekly pay mint ot farm lanoi, Ac., will be avoided. Tire above report was accepted and marie the action of the board, aud the committee were instructed to call for the balance of ihe suo- scriptions made by the cries ot Spartanburg and Darlington for the expenses of the stations there located. State Farmers’s In dilutes At the meeiingot the State Board of Agriculture he d on Thursday, Mr. Moore from the committee on Farmers’ Instiiutes submitieii a re- j j oit ol thirteen sections of which ) the following are tire mo.*t fthpor- [ taut: That there shall be belt! one Jtate farmer*’ institute m each lyearat such time and p ace as may I be agreed Up »n by the executive ommutee of this board. Th .t tor this year the same shall lie held in Spartanburg Countv m connection nth the summer roeetiiiK ot the &tate Agr cultural and Mechanica 1 Society and State Grange, if the lame be praciioab e, if not, at such jime and place as the exeeuiiv* ouimittee agree upon. That such institute shall contin- i in session tor two days and shall ^ave five sessions. That the exec- ive committee arrange suob sub- ou of disoussioft and select such speakers as may suit the occasion, aud make other expedient and tie cessary arrangements. That the excutive committee be charged with the duty ol securing proper repre sentation for each county in accor dance with the law creating this board of agriculture. That in ad dition to the above State Farmers’ Institute, there shall be held such other county or local institutes us may be found practicable by the executive committee in each county of the State when requested so to do by any county agricultural socie ty or grange. That iu the arrange ment uf the order of exercise the programme of these county or lo cal institutes shall be L fr to the discretion of the local society, sub ject, however, to the supervision of the executive committee of this board. That the executive committee be charged with the duty of securing such spi-akers or lectures as the lo cal society may r< quest aud they p^em expedient, the board of a«j liculture paying such lec tires such p -r diem as max be agreed upon and the r actfl i travelling expen ses. That the executive committee be authorized to adopt such other uile* and regulations to do such advertising aud piiuting as they may find necessary to carry out successfully this scheme. That iu the selection of speakers, lioth b>r Staie and local institutes, the. executive commiitee will not feel themselves bound by State lines but are au horizetl to employ atich tali-iit a* can be procured, having due regard to the wise expend! ure of our funds. COLONEL E. 15 C- CASH Statements Concerning His Career by Oue Who Knew Him Macon, Ga , Feb. 28—Editor Telegraph: In your i^sue of this dale un-l r head ot special to the Telegraph announcing the de.nli ol Colonel E. B C. Cash, 1 not<- mis staiemeut* iu said special which 1 desire to correct. Fiist. lie is biatided as a tamous di e!ist, which is untrue. Cash only fougnt oue duel, wuieh was with tSham ou in July, 1880, io widen Cido..el Su.union fell. Secoud. It is dai ued (hat Cash defied ihe entire State lor ten days which is uutiue. Alter the duel Colonel Cash went quietly home, and to my own knowledge informed the Bnerifi' ot Darling on County (in which the duel was fought) that he would at any time give himself up, and to save him trouble, it he would apiKMiit a day he would ap: near al Darlington and give bond. Third. It is claimed that Col. Casu has killed tour men since th - war. This is false, having killed only two, Col. Sbauuou iu a duel and a member of the celebrated baud of desperadoes headed by Henry Berry Lowry, who si the time carried ou hold robberies and caused so much tenor in upper Souih and lower North Carolina, but this man was shot only alter the life of Cash bad been attempt ed. Fourth. It is claimed that trouble grew out ot a quarrel between the ladies ol the two families, which is faFe. The whole affair came out of a difficulty between R. G. Eller b , broiher-iu-law to Cash, and one Weiuges, at that time a resident of Kershaw County. Filth, it is claimed that Cash challenged Shannon. False again. Col. Shannon challenged Cash, deairing immediate satisfaction. Sixth. It is claimed that Shan non was an old man (to bring sym- paihy upon his side, I suppose). Granting that ne was, Cash and himself (Sliauiiun) were born within tue same twelvemonth, so where is the ditb-ri nee f 1 hr above are facts beyond a 1 pi r.iiiveu ure. 1 was couvi tsaut with me ent.r.- correspondence be tween C .ah and Shannon, and 1 was upon the fle d wi h Cash when Shannon fell, and no fairer duel was ever long it. Allow me to say lha no truer, braver or mote noble hearted man ever lived thauCa*h Your “spicial” would have the world believe otherwise. Cash may have had his faults, (who has uolfj but bis character w as spotless.

A truly good aud humane farmer cares for his live *t»ek in a proper manner. Every living thing, wrote the late Uev. A. J. Baird, D. D , as well as every field aud everything it produces, baa ini rights aud use. Study to know, and act accordingly, an i you will lie repaid. That man’s field is tat sud productive, because its mas ter feeds it well. It seems to re- joiee at his approach, and spread out its rich green carpets for him to walk on, aud holds up its sweet blossoms to perfume his atmos phere. It loves the docks that giaze upon it, because they belong to the same master, and it feeds them well. Ik seems to take pride iu making the stiong rea|>er bow to the heavy swath, and the wagon groan beneath its heavy yellow sheaves. It glories in its rights and is glad. That field over there is |>oor, and looks discouraged. No wonder. It has been badly dealt with It has a hard master. He scratches, robs and starves his field. Look at its bruised face God gives it raiu and sunshine, but it wants food. It wants a good master, who will give it what rightfully belongs to it. If you wish to know the ua tore of a farmer, walk wi h him out among bis stock. If they know him, and come to him, aud trust him. you may do so, for he will re spect your righ’s; but it they run from h in, something is wrong.

He is threatened w th the wrath ot his consume.its, who are ddared to be, probably, iu favor of the oill. This kind of talk is not likely to frighten a man of Mr. Dargau’s acute in ellect aud independent character. It is not too much to say, that, even it it were altogether certain, instead ot being, as the Eeicg and Courier ad mils, merely possible, thathisconstitucut’s views do not coincide with his own, Mr. Dargau would still have the cour age of his conviodous, aud would oppose a measure which is au in sult to the self-respect of the South. There are cases in which a Coii- gressmiu may he justified iu anta goniziug the sentiments of his constituents, aud such a case is presented by the attempted pas sage of the B air bill, which, iu the judgment of many able Southern men, (tears iu itself the seeds of unto d evil to the South. If Mr. Dargau really believes, as he doubtless does, that Federal aid to education in the South is both unconstitutional aud dangerous, be is ratber to be commended tor do mg all in his power to defeat it, aud it is difficult to see why he should be censured for manifestinr pleasure at an event which, iu his oinuion, prom sea to save the peo p] - whom he represents from de- gia lalion and coirupliou.

Made Crazy by Terror Cincinnati. Feb. 27.—Blanches ter, Ohio, the Means ueigbboihood, six mi es Southea t of this city, is n ted for its wealth aud intelligence. The people lake pride in (heir h ooded stock, fine farms, and edu ca e Mieir children at the best M-hools. One ol the mbst promi nent faun ies is William Means, a relative of Governor Foraker, whose lather res:ds near by. Last Thursday evening the \oung ladies of ihe neighborhood give a leap year parly at the residence of Mr. Means. Tue girls assembled some time before the gemleinan were ex pected aud were having a merry time, when two of their number, t >e Misses Btorer, vivacious, fui - loving girls, slipped away, and cov ering -their faces with a dough musk aud their forms with sheets suddeuly burst iu ou the group of laughing girls. With a scream most of them fled in terror, but four of them fell iu a taint on the floor. Two of the yonug ladies were soeedily restored to couaoiousuess, but the other two, Dora Kakins aud Lizzie Chaney, could not be roused, and for two days they remained in a stupor, only to wakeu hopeless maid ics who scream and yell iu the most ago dziiig manner. Their condi tion is such that physicians say that they can live ouly a short time. The Mis-ies Storer, whose thought less pi auk caused the awful affair, are themselves prostrated with grief. Oue is in the delirium of brain fever aud her recovery is re garded as doubtful. The whole neighborhood is iu mourning over the sad event and the best phy si clans have been employed. The Citadel Cadets in Battle F. Starr Gregory, of Company G.. Third Georgia Reserves in the Sunny South says: “Itwasiu De c-mber, 1864, about the time that Sherman had 1 ft Savannah and was marching toward Charlis'on Our forces that were scattered along the line of the Charles'on and Sa vannah Radio id were acting on the defensive. Tie notorious, cruel Col. ilartwe'l was in command of the Fedi-ra! forces near Coosa- wbachie. Early in the monnug, th<- leather being cold auddrosty, nbtttalio of the Fifth Georgi , as brave a set of men as any that wore the grey, under the command of Col. Daui Is, went out to lee 1 t >r the enemy, who w-ts found in large numbers silently pressing to ward the railroad Then began the fight iu Tullatiuny swamp, about a mile from Coosawhatchie and towards Pocotaligo. The brave Georgians obstinately held their ground against the vast odds that oppressed them. Owing to the swamp and the almost iinpene liable undergrowth, it was hmud impossible to bring in the artillery, although repeated attempts had bt-eu made to do so. Just tluui. of it—a battalion of hungry, baieh-ot ed men, aguiust a brigade of well- fed, well-shod troops, loaded with whiskey! Slowly # our men were compelled to fall back to th rail road, but at each step notdy cmi testing the advance ot the enemy Completely exhausted, the brave Georgians sought reluge behind the iai r.ia i e.nbaiikin -ut. aud awaited ihe coming of the foe. At this juncture a comrade next to me said, ‘‘Look, there comes the cadets!’’ I looked in the direction indicated and saw the well-drilled battalion of cadets ol the Charles ton Cit 'del. Their full dress uni forms of gray gave them the api»i-..rj mice ot marebiug out for dres* parade. Maj. J. B White, ot Mariou, their commander, had them to fall iu with the line ot Georgians behind the embankment. Ah ueie commanded to h t the enemy come up close.

Directly we began advancing, while the wbi- ky so iked foe were retreaiing—ou through the woods, cio.s>ing Hie toad and reaching the bloody swamp. The Cadets and the Geor gians pressed them hard and foretd them back iu great disorder, dm ing them five miles, when the dark ness ot night put an end to an all day hard tight. The Cadets, by their bravery, covered tbemst-ives with glory aud reflected great credit upon that fine institution of learning, the Citadel Acad'-ray ot Charleston.
