WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 1. IN MEMOBIAM. JEFFERSON DAVIS. 1803-1S89. At rest, not dead ! Such men can never die ! Just gone ahead to be .enthroned on high Above the spite of those base, coward knaves Whosesole delight, the joy of ghoulish slaves, lt is to howl, like curs of lowest state, And seek to foul the truly pure and great. Nought careth he. Don't wolf dogs bay the moon ? And why care we? As shines the sun at noon Ia cloudless skv with wholesome warmth and light For low and high ; so he, in glory bright, To peace doth call the North, the East, the West, And, most of all, the South, by bim loved best. JOHN M RICHARDSON, Dangerfield, Texas, Dec ll, 1SS9. Hampton and Wanamaker. The following letter of Senator Wade Hampton's in regard to the Columbia post office was published in the New York Herald of Tuesday : WASHINGTON-. Dec. 22. 1889. To (he Editor of the Herald : My experieuce of the Herald has made me regard it as disposed to judge men and measures fairly, and hence I was surprised to see some days ago an editorial iu it commenting on my letter to the postmaster general, in which an injustice, unintentional, I think, was done to me. That article criticised me for speaking of Columbia as "my j post office," when of course I used that ; expression in the same sense that fifteen J thousand of my feliow citizens would i u?-e it. It has always been my post j office, for my home has been there all my life. Another point brought against me was that I asserted my right to nominate j the postmaster of that city, and that j I asked the retention of the incumbent BDtil the expiration of his. term. I did neither of these thing?, and in order j that the Herald may understand the j real and only issue between the post- j master-general and myself, I will state j all the facts ia the case. Soon after the inauguration of Presi? dent Harrison, Mr. Eugene Gary, a Northerner who has lived for years in Columbia, a Republican who is esteemed and respected by ali classes there, sent to me an application for the position of postmaster. This paper was indorsed by nearly all the business men of Co? lumbia, irrespective of party. I wrote to Mr. Gary saying that I could make no recommendation in this case, but that his application should be filed, and if, as has been the custom when a post? master was to be appointed at the resi? dence of a Seuator, I should be con? sulted about the matter, I would say how strongly he. was indorsed, and that I regarded him as better qualified for the place than any of the other appii- j cants. I gave his application to Mr. Whit- j field, assistant postmaster, in the ab- j sence of the postmaster-general and in- j formed him of what I had written to | Mr. Gary A short time since I saw the postmaster-general and asked bim in reference to this application of Mr. j Gary. He replied that he had not con sidered the matter of the Columbia post ! office for the incumbent's term would j not expire until February and that he i should not be removed uutil then He j went on to say that when a postmaster J was to be appointed there, he would j remember that this was my post office j and be would consult me about the ap pointaient. This assurance was given j voluntarily and positively. I did not ask for the retention of Mr. I Gibbes, nor did I ever mention his j name. While at home, a few days after this interview, I informed Mr. Gibbes of the promise made by the ! postmaster-general, and to my great ? surprise I saw very soon afterward the official announcement of tht> appoint- | ment of Dr. Clayton, "vice W. H Gibbes, removed." Any gentleman can understand why ! I felt naturally and properly indignaut at the marner in which I had been \ . treated. It was not because of the re- j mo va! of Mr. Gibbes, for I expected j t' U, knowing how the civil service roles are ob?erved in the the post offiee department under its present administra- ; lion ; nor was it because of the appoint ment of Clayton But it was ^because I had been made the medium of com- j municating to Mr. Gibbes a falsehood, and I was thus placed in a fa!.?e posi- ; tion. I have no possible iuterest io the ! post office at Colombia, except my desire to nee a good pont ma-ter there, for that is a matter of importance to my fellow citizens I hud no candidate for the I place, nor have I interfered tn the mat ' ter in the slightest degree beyond my action in reference to Mr Gary, whom I should have been pleased to see ap? pointed, a* he is thoroughly qualified in every way for the place. In one of the several published inter- ] views with the Postmaster General. I norie very consistent, 1 see that he says that I WHS **too previous that Mr .Gibbes had not been removed. I gice an extract from a fetter of ?he ex post- . master. Mr. Gibbes, bearing on that point : -"When Wanamaker stated that no commission had been issued, ir i V9A3 a mere subterfuge, HS the appoint? ment had been ma:ie and Clayton's hoods sent him for execution " The Postmaster General sa>? that he sent a T. D. t<> me, but I have received none from him. Let me say in conclusion that I did not make my letter public. I cent a copy of it to Mr Gibbes to let him see that if l? d to believe a falsehood I wap not responsible. I am, very respectfully yours. WALK HAMPTON - - . ? ? . om Three Failures at Camden.

Messen-1 The Russian Influenza. America has imported an epidemic, in fact almost every civilized couutry in the world is having a taste of the Rus? sian iofluenza. It struck New Yoik and New York sneezed, likewise Bos toD, and it is rapidly spreadiog over the Uuited Slates. The symtoms of the Russian influenza, or "la grippe" as it is called in France, are discribed as follows : Headache, pains in the eyes, soreness all over the body, as..if one had been beaten, a feverish condition, and a general sense of lassitude and discom? fort. These general symptoms are to be followed by various local troubles, such as a bronchial attack, a cold in the head, sore throat, diarrhoea, and some I times by pleurisy or pneumonia. .'The only real danger is preFented I io the last two cases, which can usually j be guarded against by proper care, j From three to eight days is the average duration of the disease pioper' but its effects upon the system are comparative? ly severe, so that several weeks more are ofteu needed for a full convalescence. The Grand Duke, Alexis, who was ill for only a week, will probably require a month before he feels himself again." At latest accounts. tb*?re were 3,000 cases of influenza in Hamburg, and 6.000 in Stockholm Great Britian is sneezing and of course sundry anglo maoiacs io this country must follow suit, influenza or no influenza Here in Aiken we are comparatively free from its attack. Many persons with a simple cold get the idea they have the influenza, but nine times out of ten they are mistaken.-Aiken Journal and Review. --^-???~^-mm Cotton Bagging. One of the matters upon which light was admitted at the St. Louis meeting was the covering for the next year's cotton crop. Representatives from the j jute factories outside the trust were j there, and offers were made of contracts for 2 pound bagging at 7 cents a jard. Manufacturers of cotton bagging were also there and offered the standard cov? ering of the Alliance, 44 inches wide, seighiag I of a pound to the yard, at 8 j cents. The farmers generally favored a continuation of the use of cotton cov? ering. The matter was referred to the State organizations, which will make arrangements for bagging on next year's crop. The convention united on a demand for actual tare, which the legislatures j of"the different States will be called upon to enact into law Then a uni? form custom of 7 yards of 44 inch bag? ging, 12 ounces to the yard, will be ob? served, making no variatiou iu stand? ard bales. The mills now have ample notice of the inteotion of farmers aud should put in proper looms, which are inexpensive so that no pretext may remain for ob? jection to cotton bagging less than standard width and weight. The mar? gin for profit at the price stated, 8 cents, is ample, and the covering for the cotton crop will require between 40,000.000 and 50,000,000 yards, or nearly ?3 500,000. The refusal of the government to grant a patent on the standard cloth leaves no tangible objec? tion on the part of factories to its gen? eral production, and it is not probable that any farmers will find difficulty in securing an ample supply for the next crop-Nation al Econ om ?st. - m .??.?.?? mm Prize Crops. Tn January last the American Agri? culturist, of New York, offered prizes amounting to about ?10.000 for the largest yields of oats, Irish potatoes, wheat and corn per acre. The four grand prizes were $500 each. The prize :r> oats was awarded last month to R. W. Strickland, of Orleans County, New York., whose yield was j 134 bushels and 23J pounds. This is an enormous yield ; but a j, Mr. Gillesp?3, of York County, writes j to the Agriculturist that Col. Wiley, of ?1 Lancaster County, S. C., made 145 I bushels on one acre a few years ago. ! The biggist yield we have ever known \ > in this section was 117 bushels by Mr. J. P. Pool, of Newberry, in 1882. The result of the Irish potato contest will be given iu the Agriculturist for January, of which the publishers have j kindly seut us advance sheet9 The j first prize of ?500 was awarded to !" Chas. B. Coy, of Aroostook County, j Maine, whose yield was 738 bushels j and 25 pounds. He also took the ad- ? ditional $600 p'iz'? offered by the J> >w ker Fertiliser Company His potatoes ' were the Dakota Red.

The land was a strong clay loam and a tun of fertilizer ! was UK'd. 1 Ititi pounds l.-eiiig strewed along the driiis and bein" plowed in before planting, and the rest worked in | about the h?ls at the fr sf hoeing.

Hill who has been ex? perimenting for several years with the okra plant as a substitvte for jute, or rather as a substitute for anything and everything in the line of textile fabric? -has just sent on to Commissioner of Agriculture Rusk a specimen of his handiwork which will certainly open that distinguished agriculturists' eyes. The specimen sent is six feet lung, as big arouud as a horsed tail, and each strand as strong as flax thread. If the National Department of Agriculture does no* take hold of this thing and es? tablish a farm in our State or County for the purpose of fully testing this val? uable product it wili certainly be re? miss in its duties. Capt. Ben. Tillman, on the right track as usual, is taking a lively interest in thc matter and aiding Mr. Hill in his laudable efforts to down the jute trust. The Government will certainly come out on the side of the people in this thing and help them with a little okra 6bre farm and an appro? priation.-Edge field Advertiser. - "mm ?-? - A HEALTHY G KO WT H.
