In The Magistrates' Court.
Quite a number of people were in
town yes terdav from Scrauton and
vicinity, most of whom were witnesses
in the case of W. M. D. McGee vs
the A. C. L. R. R., which was heard
before Judge Stutts. Among the
number were noted the following:
A. M. and A. A. Cook, W. 1). Ward,
Myers Matthews, Wingate McKnight,
Preston Miles and E. S. Johnson.
The case involved suit against the
railroad for $50 damages on account
of a mule killed by an engine last
January. As the taking of testimony
consumed the whole day, the
arguments were postponed. The
plaintiff was represented by LfcRoy
Lee, Esq. and the defendant by

"ROOT KNOT WORM" AND.,4WlL7
FUNGUS."
A Remedy Suggested for Two Diseases
to Which Peas are Subject.
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.

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.
