Editor County Record:? 1 notice that your correspondent at Johnsonville calls attention to the fact that fields of peas are dying from what he calls "root rot." In some sections of our State the pea has for a long time been subject to two diseases, viz: The wilt fungus, which occurs ou land continuously planted in peas, so that the laud is popularly described as "pea sick." The second disease?what your correspondent calls "root rot"?is generally known as "root knot worm." Both diseases usually go together. The attack of one so reduces the vitality of the plant that it is subject to the other. We have noted both diseases for a long time around Monetta, where my farm is situated. On large areas we could grow 110 peas, as the land got so badly affected they would all die until we secured the "Iron" pea, which is thoroughly resi6tent to both the wilt disease and the root knot worm. With this variety I am now making 15 bushels an acre on some infected land that with any other kind would not have made the seed planted. If you or any of your readers are interested in this pea you will find a full description of it in "Farmers' Bulletin No. 17," which may be obtained bv writincr to the Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. Yours truly, T. S. Williams. 1430 Mariou St., Columbia, S. C. Reunion of Co. G. 15th S. C. Rejf't. This regiment held its 2nd reunion at Indiantown church on Tuesday the 14th. It claims a membership of 121, 27 (or more) now living. There were 10 present, viz: W. S. Eaddy, H. H. Kinder, J. J. Brown, Henry Browder, C. A* Gaskins, Robert Nesniith, S. B, Thompson, Robert Hanna, Thos. Tuftner and J R Cox, with 3 of other companies or regiments: Dick Parsons (?), W. C. Snowden and Laird Lifrage of (I). The veterans Mere given a short march by Brown, Vet. Browder bringing up the rear. The meeting was presided over by Veteran W. S. Eaddy. The roll was called by the secretarv. Hugh McCutchen gave .? > >* e 1 1? J me auuress oi weieuuie, mspuuucu to by H. H. Kinder. J. J. Brown had a long written address, which was instructive and entertaining. C. A. Gaskins was made to gi re some war experiences?also Kinder, the latter's being on the line of the origin of the war, or the events leading up to it. The South did not institute slavery, but the New England States. They sold slaves to us, then quarreled because we had them in slavery. The North wanted to retain the South from mercenary motives, or for its money and property, to do as it pleased with them. His speech, tho' unwritten, was quite lengthy and instructive, especially to the present generation. War tales and jokes were given by .Brown ana Gaskins. It was moved and carried (having a standing invitation) that they meet at the same place, on the 2nd Tuesday in October, 1903. ^here being no further businesi the formal meeting adjourned, soon after which dinner was announced, the veterans being served first. Th< dinner consisted of warm barbecue, turkey, chicken, ham, rice, warm coffee, bread, cakes, pies, etc. There were 30 or more ladies and childrer present. Five veterans have died since November 28, 1901. We hope that all ' Ml 1? ..11 A I now Jiving win oe auve ucai jwh; ! and that all of said regiment in th< ' State or county will be present al the next (and possibly the last) re union, as the ranks are being reduced to a very small number.
