TIME AND ?.
" We are two travellers, Time and I
Through gay or gloomy weather
And since he hailed me at my birth,
. We're alway8 been together.
He led me through the land of youth,
He journeys onward ever,
And helped my toiling footsteps climb
The hills of right endeavor.
We are two travellers, Time and I,
Through harsh or happy weather.
Unsolved the secrets of his soul,
Though we have walked together !
He guards1 the mysteries of the world,
Life,. Death, Disease and Sorrow ;
Efe knows so much, so little I,
And we most part to-morrow.
- Wm. H. Hoyne, in South's Companion.
The Le Conte Pear.
The attempt ta give a description
ol Ute resources of Thomas. County,
.?d that portion which adds to the
beauty, of Thomasville, as well as be?
ing the most remunerative product in
all Georgia, would not only wound
the pride and institutions of the pro?
gressive inhabitants of this part of the
country bat would be talcing from
this letter an item particularly- inter?
esting to the readers of this paper all !
?vcr Ute country. The Le Conte pear
ls to Thomas county, and this section
of Georgia, what the orange groves
axe to Florida.
T. E. Blackshear, who is president
of the Le Conte Company, and who
the success of this fruit is in a great
measure due to, owns separately from
the company's orchard of 100 acres,
the grandest pear orchard in the Uni?
ted States, if not rn the world. Ile
took great pains to show your corres?
pondent over his entire farm and ex?
plain the phenomenal history of ti-is
fruit Here is what he says : "The
tree and its propagation can hardly
claim an age reaching into the teens,
and yet such is the widespread inter?
est shown in the fruit and the tree
which produces it, that, as Floiida
can be called the home of the orange,
so may Thomas County be called the
home of the Le Conte pear. In 1856
Mr. John LeConte, a native of Liber?
ty, one of the seaboard counties of
Georgia, while North, visited Prince's
nursery, near Albany, N. Y., and
purchased, among other fruit trees, a
seedling ft om the Chinese Sand Pear.
When be returned to Georgia his
little seedling was promiscuously
stock into the ground, and no partic?
ular thought given to it thereafter,
?pt receiving cultivation or fertiliza
tion. During the troublous days that
passed between 1861-65 the tree be?
gan to bear fruit, but weightier mat
ters claimed the thoughts of those who
clustered around the old homestead
where the seedling had been planted,
and who knew of its bearing fruit. In
1866 the tree was loaded with deli?
cious fruit, and it was not until this
time that the tree was noticed.
The new tree only resembled the
Chinese tree in two respects. Its
rapidity of growth, and its capability
of being successfully propagated from
cuttiugs. Just how, or just when,
the LeConte pear (it has been so
called in honor of Air. LeConte, who
first brought the seedling South,) ob?
tained its distinctive peculiarities, it
is impossible to say. From its par?
tial resemblance to the Chinese sand
pear, the theory that it is a hybrid
between that and some other variety,
is quite reasonable, but whether a bee.
toying with the sweets of the Bart
lett, the Duchess, or the Side, bore
their fertile pollen to enrich the bar?
renness and staleness of the Chinese
variety and thus formed the new one, .
or whether a chance breeze took the ,
precious burden, or whether the new
tree be Ute product of one of the
freaks of nature, one fact is incontest?
able, it stands to-day at the head of
the pear family, and until some more
perfect variety is evolved by a like
cause there are none to dispute its
proud position.
A few years after the war closed,
saya Jttr. Blackahere, the superinten- J
dent on the farm where the tree had
first started in the South, came to ,
Thomas county and brought a few '
cuttings with him from the parent
tree which he put out in the yard.
The cuttings at once took root, grew
rapidly and soon began to bear fruit.
As soon as the fruit made its appear?
ance it attracted attention. The tree
too, was remarkable, being hardy, of
wonderful rapid growth and entirely,
exempt from blight, and free lrom the
inroads of parasites, while they bore
such prolific crops that all other vari?
eties were distanced. The fruit itself
compared most favorably with the
best known varieties, and as it could
be produced with such certainty, and
in such quantities, competitors were
p!entiful.
But witfi all the good qualities be?
longing to the tree and its fruit,
.neither sprung at once into popular
favor ; so oft-in before had new vari?
eties come before the public with
loudly vaunted claims which test have
put to flight, that a prudent people
took hold of the new candidate very
gingerly at first. But, as years pass?
ed, and neither the tree nor its fruit
were visited bv the enemies of the
pear family, the truth and justice of
the claims of the LeConte vere recog?
nized. Therein the LeConte excels.
In rapidity of growth it shows a
decided superiority over ali thc other
known varieties, not only of the pear
family, but of all other fruits as well,
while it begins to bear at an age at
which other pear trees are mere
htfiplings. Cutting? have taken on
as much as 14 feet of new growth the
first year after being put out. This
is, of course, a phenomenal growth
f<?r even this phenomenal tree, but
six to eight feet is an average growth
each year.
The trees begin to bear at six
years old with ordinary care, while
if they have special care in cultiva?
tion and fertilization, they will begin
to bear at four years old.
In point of hardihood, vigor and
freedom from blight, its claims are
even more wonderful. During the j
past 10 years, when the eyes of nur- j
Hciymen everywhere have been upon j
the tree and its fruit, and among; the j
hundreds of thousands of young trees, j
not a single case of blight has been j
developed, and no parasites have j
Wen found to molest either the tree, ;
or its fruit.
In point of yield its claim are more !
wonderful ?till ; upwards of 30 bush- |
els have been gathered from one tree
from a single crop, and 25 bushels j
is not an unusual yield.from a 10 year j
j old tree.* Taking i'Cf tftrshels, which
j h a low estimate for a 10 year old
tree, as an average, it will double,
yea, treble all other varieties.
The size and quality of the fruit is
all thal could be expected from even
tuis phenomenal tree, while in ship?
ping" qualities it yields to none. Sin?
gle specimens of the fruit have been
produced tfrat tipped the beam at one
pound and seven ounces, while an
average crate will Bhow nearly, eig?it
ounces per pear, The fruit, while
hardly equal to the Bartlett, is deli?
cious, finely flavored, almost without
seed or core, and entirely free from
the woody, coarse taste that is often
present in other varieties. The ship?
ping qualities of the LeConte are
fully equal to those of the California
pear, which-is all that need be said
cn that point.
The ease with which t!>e tree caf* be
propagated is one of its stronger
claims to popular favor. Cuttings put
into the ground with ordinary care, and
with ordinary cultivation, will show,
on an average, oue vigorous tree to
every ?ve cuttings.
No other-variety of the pear can be
so easily or so rapidly grown. The
time at which the pear ripens gives
it a practical monopoly of the market
for nearly J two months of the year,
j The fruit ripens for shipment early iu
July while other pears do not come
on thc market till nearly two months
later. r .
The most important thing lil this
industry is the money that can bc
made out of it. While many will
desire a few trees to supply fruit for
home use, others will desire to
plant for shipment, sn? others will
wish to propagate the youug trees
?for sale. In addition to its shipping
and eating qualities no other fruit is
half so delicious wheu evaporated or
dried. The presence of saccharine
matter is so marked that when evap?
orated it forms a coat of sugar around
the fruit which makes it a tidbit for
the gods. Mr. Blackshere, being
the- pioneer of this fruit, says there
are two sources of profit in the Le
Conte pear orchard-. One the sale of
fruit, the other the sale of young
trees, and that the average yield is
about 15 bushels, and commanding
an average price of ?3.50 per bushel.
In answer to the question if it was
an exceptionally fine pear, he said,
*lt is a fine flavored pear.'
'It is not the best. The Side,
which is a small pear, surpasses it iu
flavor. So does the Duchess-many
prefer the Bartlett. It is a splendid
fruit, however. Its flesh is sweet
and juicy, and will melt in your
mouth. There is none of the 'woodi?
ness' about the core, that is the fault
of the California pear. Indeed, it has
very little. It is a fine shipper, lt
has a firm skin that does not break
or speck easily. On the stand it will
outsell any other pear, from its hand?
some appearance/*
This is the hardiest fruit your cor?
respondent has ever seen. It re?
quires but very little attention, and
if there could be some way to get this
pear started iu the Northwest noth?
ing on earth could prevent il from
being a success. On account of the
sap continuing to run \n February,
the cuttings eannot be shipped north,
bot, if some way, artificial, to get the
cuttings or seedlings and preserve
them until they could be planted in
the Northwest, one year would give
the root, and their perpetually as?
sured. This winter it has been cold?
er in the South' than ever before.
These trees have been frozen, and *
the roots hare been incased in ice
for several days and the tree was not
hurt in the least.
From Mr. Blackshere's home
orchard he averages from $150 to
?200 per acre from' his 'ord trees.

IN MEMORIAM.
At the recent Quarterly Conference of
Wedgefield Circuit the following committee
was appointed on the memoir of Rev. \V. F.
Wright, hereto annexed; J. R. Phillips, R.
J. Jones and J. S. Folk : j ~:~ *
S WILLIAM FRANCIS"" WR?GHT
was born of Christian parents, in Suteburg,
Sumter Co., S. C, .March 18th, 1813, and
died at his home near Providence, in Sumter
County, Aug. 18th, 1886.
He joined-the Church in Camden, in-1831,
ander. Rev. SumueL.Capers ; be experienced
change of hear', the same year, and soon after.
was appointed Class Leader. In 1845 be was
licensed to exhort through the Rev. Mr. Zim?
merman, at Providence Church.
Bro. Wright was a pious man ; he held a
solid and satisfactory experience of religion
from the beginning to tbeend. lie knew that
his Redeemer liveth, and rejoiced in a bright
future. Ile grew in grace as he grew in years,
and his path shined more and more into the
perfect day. He walked with the Saviour
day by dav, until "he was not, for God took
him."
Bro. Wright's last exhortation was at his
"dear old ProvidenceCburch," in 1884, where
he had held his membership for more than 40
years. Failiug health prevented him from
regular attendanceat Church, but on pleasant
days his seat was always filled unless pre?
vented hy sickness, and it was a benediction
upon the whole congregation to see that ven?
erable old soldier ai his post there, drinking
in the divine waters of life as it flowed ftesh
and free from the sacred stand.
Bro. Wright's courteous and modest Chris?
tian character won the affection of all ; and
while he had broad Christian views he was
devoted to his Church and its interests.
During Bro. Wright's la>t illness, on one
occasion he said to his youthful pastor, plac?
ing his blinds upon his head imploring God's
blessing upon him and his labors, ''Let no
man despise thy youth."
Bro. Wright was aware of his approaching
end, viewed it calmly, and spoke happily of
his future home ia Heaven. He- gave encour?
aging words to those of his relatives and
friends who watched him so closely and atten?
tively during his las? days on earth. He said
a few days before his death th;it the G40th
Hymn was closely associated in his mind dur?
ing his last illness.
"How firm a foundation ye saints of the
Lord.
Is laid for your f?ith in his excellent word.
What more can he say than to you he hath
Said ?
You who unto Jesus for refuge have fled."
Just before j>H3*in;r away be paid, Jesus
was with bini and lhere was no "mistaken
crown laid up- for me," and Unis passed over
(lie river one of our pillars of Zion shouting.

Special Notice.
The price of the New Yoi " Weekly Star is
reduced to one d/Uar for one year, postage
paid.
At that price it is the cheapest weekly
newspaper published in the world, because
it is the bes". I ts size (10 pages, ) i's varied
and interesting contents and the quality of j
piper and typography make it superior to j
any similar publications. For these reasons,
also, the cost of the Weekly Star is greater
than that of any weekly paper sold at the
same pr.ce, but its large and rapidly in creas- !
itig circulation enables it to make the reduc?
tion.

Amount Paid Out by Prater
nal Societies in 1885.
The amounts paid to the depen
dent beneficiaries of deceased mern
hers of fraternal societies, in 1885,
are known in each community where
these societies exist, but few ap?
preciate the enoimous aggregate of
all these small disbursements in one
year. We estimate that the total
amount is not less than* twenty mil
lions annually.* The four largest pay?
ing societies and'.the amounts dis?
bursed by each in 18S5, are as fol
lows :
Kniftht3 of Honor.$3,153,000
A. 0. United Workmen. 2.566,000
American Legion of Honor. 1,935,500
Royal Arcanum. 1,260,500
Total.$8,915,000
Thus it will be seen that four of I
the leading societies pay out neatly
nine millions annually. If to this
total we could add the amounts paid
by the uumerous small fraternal so?
cieties, we have no doubt the sum
would be more than doubled.
Kev. L. D. Bass.

Testimonials of Eminent Physicians
of the State.
The following are selected from many sim?
ilar ones :
DB. L. C. KENNEDY, of Spartanborg.
writes the Proprietors : "The remedial qual?
ities of Glenn Springs I have known for over
forty years, and can attest to its value in
Dyspepsia from gastric or functional derange?
ment of the Liver. General Debility, Dropsical
Effusions. Uterine Irregularity and Affections
of the Kidneys and Bladder. To the last dis?
eases I would particularly call attention, as
the waters have shown large curative powers
in these complaints."
DR. 0. B. MAYER, of Newberry. S. C.,
says: "I have sent more than fifty persons
suffering with Jaundice to these Springs, aud
have never beeu disappointed in any case;
they all speedily recovered. I cannot find
words to express my confidence in the Glenn
Springs water, as a remedy for the Liver,
when functionally deranged. Dyspepsia,
Dropsy, certain skin diseases, troubles in the
Kidneys and Spleen, if produced by the Liver,
have all, as I know, disappeared at the
Springs."
DR. JAMES MCINTOSH, President of the Med?
ical Association o? South Carolina, in his an?
nual address before that body remarks:
"Glenn Springs, for diseases of the Stomach,
Liver and Kidneys, deserves to rank with
any other on the contiuent."
PRICE OF WATER.
Per case of two dozen quart bottles, securely
packed and delivered on the train at Spartan?
borg, $4.00.
Per gallon, by the barrel, delivered at
Spartanburg, 20 cents.

A WELL TRIED TREATMENT
For Consumption, Asthma, Bronchitis,
Dyspepsia, Catarrh, Hay Fever,
Headache, Debility, RJteumatism,
Neuralgia, and all Chronic and
Nervous Disorders.
When 'Compound Oxygen' is inhaled, the
heart has imparted to it increased vitality.
That organ sends forth the blood with more
force and less wear to itself; the vital cur?
rents leave on their circuit new deposits of
vital force in every cell of tissue over which
they pass, and return again to the lungs for
a new supply. This isa rational explanation
of the greatest advance medical science has
yet made.
'The Compound Oxygen Treatment,' Drs.
Starkey & Palen, No. 1529 Arch Street, Phil?
adelphia, have been using for the last sixteen
years, isa scientificadjustment of theelements
of Oxygen and Nitrogen magnetized, and the
compound is so condensed and made portable
that it is sent all over the world.
DES. STARKEY & PALEN have the liberty to
refer (in proof of their standing as Physicians)
to the following named well-known persons
who have tried their Treatment:

SUFFERING WOMEN!
Read what the Great Methodist Divine:
and Eminent Physician says of
Bradfield'sFemale Regulator!
ATLANTA,. GA., Feb. 20, 1884.
Dr. J. Bradfield: Dear Sir-Some fifteen
years ago I examined the recipe of Female
Regulator, and carefully studied authorities
in regard to its composition, and then (as well
ns now) pronounce it to be the most scientific
and skillful combination of the really reliable
remedial vegetable agents known to Science,
to act directly on the womb and uterine or?
gans, and the organs and parts sympathizing
directly with these, and, therefore, provid?
ing a specific remedy for all diseases of the
womb, and of the adjacent organs and parts.
Yours truly,
JESSE BORING, M. D., D. D,
Bradfield's Female Regulator is only intend-,
jd for diseases peculiar to women, and for
these is a Specific.
Sold by all druggists. Send for our trea?
