A representative citizen of one of the counties in the interior of the State which has an exhibit at the Exposi? tion visited The News and Courier office yesterday. Some of his observa? tions and reflections, after spending some days on the Exposition grounds, 9 are worth noting for the considera? tion of people generally in the counties which have not done, and are not doing, much towards making exhibits for themselves. The burden of his remarks was an earnest and oft-repeated expression of regret that the people of his own county did not better understand the value of the opportunity presented to them to "advertise" its resources and attractions in their own interest, and to their own profit. Most of them, he said, really had no idea of what the Exposition was; he had but an inade? quate idea himself until he had seen it. Having seen it, he was sorry and ashamed to see the small exhibit made by his county, when he knew what it could have shown for itself with a ilttle effort, and with inconsid? erable expense, compared with the benefits to be dreived from a full ex? hibit. And his own county was not alone at fault. He was painfully im? pressed with the appearance made by the collective exhibits of the counties represented, as compared with the splendid showing made by the State of Missouri, especially, in the same place. His county had done something for itself, and with known good results already. After looking at its partial exhibit of its agricultural products fruits, grains, vegetables, etc-which contains some really fine specimens, if few in number and representing only a few varieties of hundreds that could have been shown, a visitor from a Northwestern State said that it was almost incredible to him that such wheat, barley, rye, oats, rice, pump? kins, pears, peaches., and so on, could be grown in South Carolina, as he supposed the soil and climate were un? favorable to such products, and asked, "what was the price of lands that wouldjyieid such crops?" The point of his inquiry and of the whole matter con? sists in the fact that, when he was told that it ranged from tenjto twenty dol? lars an acre, he started negotiations at once for the purchase of a large farm in the county making the exhibit, which are now practically closed. He preferred, he said, to farm on such soil, in such conditions, to working land in his own State, costing 850 to $100 an acre that would not yield such returns, and where fae work had to be done half of the year under all the drawbacks and trials of a rigorous winter climate. "And," said the representative of the South Carolina county, in telling the story, if we had expended a little more labor and money and thought to make an exhibit truly worthy of the county, we could have impressed all home-seekers far mere deeply and effectively, and have filled the county with such farmers in a short time. The sale of some cf our unemployed acres, at fair prices, would alone pay the cost of an exhibit many times over if we had spent 000 on it." He was geing home, . he added, to try to induce his neighbors, the "business m?n** among them, at any rate, to j retrieve the mistake they had made, ? ann employ the opportunity presented J to them as weil ;:s they could in the ti?:: . remaning to them. The Exposi? tion would continue until July. There were "still five months for work," and t';e great body of the visitors from the North and West were yet to come. He proposed to urge his county to have something to show that was better worth their seeing:--to have it do jus? tice to itself, in its own interest. It could SH all the space allotted to it, -and more, with specimens, in some form, of the nearly unlimited variety of field crops, pasture grasses, orchard fruits and vegetables, which are grown in it-a list of which would fill a column of print-and such an exhibit j would amaze and greatly interest all strangers tb the possibilities of this region : most visitor* to the Exposi? tion being such strangers. ' To the .strictly agricultural specimens would be added, if his counsel prevailed, specimens of wods, manufactures of all kinds, flowers, building and other stones, mineral deposits, mineral wa? ters, brick and other manufacturing clays, large photographs of shoals and other sites for water powers, and of mills, woodlands, school houses, home? steads, farms, roads and growing crops, statistics of health, crop profits, descriptive lists of lands for sale, with prices" for tracts and per acre-and every other form and kind of facts that would go to show the county *s it is and give to prospectors and ho] seekers the sort of information t j would naturally desire to have j their guidance. They cannot get elsewhere, or otherwise, with hunting all over the State in per for it ; they could get it at the ] position; and the speaker propo? that they should get it there, for : county, if his neighbors could aroused, even now, to the great va of such an exhibit and advertisemi and would join him in providing it the time remaining to them. "Tb [ was still time enough, if only it w< ? devoted to intelligent and united wc for the purpose in view." These are, in substance, the vie of one county representative, who I seen the Exposition and has learn what it is and means, and what it m yet be made to mean and do for i own county, by even belated work the part of its people, working toget er for their own interest. They a well worthy of thoughtful considei tion and prompt and practical applic ti on by representative men in all t counties.-News and Courier. The foregoing editorial which a peared in The News and Courier last Saturday* is well worth considei tion and we hope that our people w think over the suggestions so peri nently expressed. We are inform that Mr. E. I. Reardon is the repi sentative citizen whose remarks fur ished the ground work for the ed toriai. Hagood News Items. Hagood, Jan. 27.-Here we are wi1 one month of the new year closing Not much time remains for its worl Perhaps we have all been pretty bus: Some people are busy all the time bt do nothing. I suppose they are i tired as other busy people. Some of the colored fraternit around here started out on a new role farming, with nothing to farm or They may have taken too literally the scripture: "'Man shall not live b bread alone," but they are finding oe that he must have the bread, and a that article is scarcer than usual theirs is not a floury nor a flower bed. Many farmers have plante' their oats over. A few were so fortn nace as not to lose them. Many oat that appeared to be living are dea< and some are still dying. Fertilizer will not be used here to the same ex tent of last year. We need more di versified farming : So long as we de pend on cotton alone as the mone; crop we may expect hard times. '. can see no reason why tobacco canno; be profitable here as well as in othe: counties: I am satisfied cur landi are as well adapted to its culture, One reason why farmers get along sc bad is that they "rest" too much. ] can cite exceptions to this rule tc prove the above assertion. All our spare time can be profitably employee making homemade fertilizer. Mr. Editor, I want to exhort the young people to get married. When I go out and see so many marriageable girls, bright and smart, I almost wish I was single again. I went into a bachelor hall not long since and ii reminded me somewhat of a pig sty. This was not an exception, I know because I have been there when the madame was away. Deliver me from bachelordom "single blessedness!" I am reminded of the epitaph written on the tombstone of a great liar: "Here lies-a bundle cf truth." Get? ting a wife is serious business, to be sure. Many a man gets a "bel]; eat" instead of a "help meet" and many a woman jumps into trouble when she marries. I knew a fellow that wedded a girl reared in affluence. He drank up and ran through what she had. When she went to tho field to hoe cotton this fine fellow was lying up in the shade." "Come Jim" she said "and help me hoe: its pleaasnt out here." He replied, "You can't fool me: that sun is hot." If you ever need your head it is when you go to choose v. partner for life. A man is not so apt to mistake as a woman. 1 may write more on this subject at a future time. Few men succeed in single life. Many men owe their success to their wives. A good woman is earth's nearest approxima? tion to an angel without wings. We all 'remember our dear mothers. A bad woman, who can endure. I never . have blamed Elijah for running from Jezebel. "Hagood." - WI I fl -I I Ml - The U. S. Civil Service Commission wi ii holli examinations at several places in each state during March and April, to secure young men and women for the government service. 9,889 persons secured positions last year through these examinations. Probably 10,000 appointments will be made this year. All appointments are for life and for most positions only a common school education is required. Salaries at appointment vary from $660 to $1200 a year with liberal pro? motions afterward. Politics is not considered. There is less competition in the southern states than in other parts of the country. This alfords a good opportunity for people between 16 and 4? years of age. Those desiring places of this kind can get full infor? mation about them, free, by writing to the Columbian Correspondence Col? lege, Washington, D. C., and asking for its Civil Service catalogue, num? ber three. A Popular Preacher. Some years ago while I was pastoi of a certain charge within the bound? of the South Carolina Conference, 1 received a communication from Rev. C. C. Brown. I did not reply, and in a few days a card came as a remindei that I shall not soon forget. I dislik? ed the man heartily. At that time I had never seen him and had no desire to. I have heard some speak of the man in the way I felt, but all such do not know him. I have been with Bro. Brown much since that time and did not find it a difficulty to learn tc love him. I do not mean to write him,up: couldn't if I would: he's toe big. Bro. Brown is a Baptist preach? er, but if you note I do not under? score Baptist. Not that I mean he is wishy washy, but that he realizes there are other preachers besides Bap? tist and when they come to Sumter none will give them a heartier wel? come or be a warmer friend than Brown. All the new preachers get a good send off when they go to Sumter. I believe he is on the best of terms with them all. Brown is good compa? ny because he is brainy, bright and jovial; he is a soul that causes mirth, and yet always in fine spirits, using pure speech. He is just such company as one can be in always and never tire. "Laugh and grow fat." I wonder if he was ever lean. Some? times when I look at his effort to en? list the sympathy of others in behalf of the unfortunate and helpless, which seems to be his daily occupation. I think he is all heart, but when I hear him preach or lecture or read some article he has penned, I feel that he is all head. His like is not often found. No wonder that the longer he lives the more he is loved and honored. The older he grows the bigger he gets. Some people never grow out of the church they were reared in, but he has grown into the other denomina? tions till he has become common prop? erty, and I am glad, because we can well afford it. I am glad he can do it, has done it ; because we need him. He has been pastor at Sumter a long time and they are not tired of him yet. When the time comes there with the Methodists to change preachers they are in the habit of saying, so I am told. "We do not know who our preacher will be, but we do know he will be as good as the Conference can send, for Brown is here." Were you ever in his sanctum? It is a veritable work shop. True the study is a place of books, but hard by is a shop where all sorts of things are turn? ed out. ? know not what be can't do. He is not simply literary, but a schol? ar, who has laid carefully, broad and deep, the foundations on which he has buiided so well. Christianity turns to gold ail it touches, but some people have little in them, I am glad the Church got Bro. Brown bceause it got so much, but if he should chance to read these lines he will feel "I am Brown and nothing at all, but Jesus Christ is all in all." I never saw him idle in my life. Some people can work all the while and do nothing, but you could not make certain cid worn out preachers think so of him. I suppose when he dies he will carve this epitaph: "Here lies the great beggar." Yes, he works, and well is it done whatever its kind. Few wield such a pen, whose productions are read with such interest and pleasure. The Baptists are proud of him, and well may they be. Long life to C. C. Brown.-A Methodist, in So. Ch.

Address Delivered Before the Graded School by Mr. R. W. McCutchen. Editor Watchman and Southron : On account of the anniversary of Lee's birthday falling on Sunday the celebration of the event by. the school at this place was postponed until Monday, the 20th instant. The exer? cises from 1 until 2 p. m., were inter? esting and appropriate, consisting of the singing of "The Bonnie Blue Flag" and "Dixie" and the recitation of the verses entitled "Lee's Sword." The writer deems it very necessary to the right training of our youth to implant within them admiration for the martial valor . of our fathers, and an admirable effort was made to do so by Hon. R. W. McCntchen, member of our County Board of Education, who delivered the following oration to the great delight of all present. We deem it of sufficient merit to ask you to publish it in full or part. Trustee. LEE, THE GENERAL. It affords me great pleasure to be with yon young friends, ladies and gentleman and to speak to you on the subject selected for this occasion. Although I feel that I can say very little, but what has already been said, and yet; it is a subject that will never be exhausted. To do honor to this man is but to do honor to our country and who among us would h?sit?t e to do if we could a patriotic act, a noble deed to our State, our South, our country. Young friends, ladies md gentle? men, none of ns can ever do too great an honor to Gen. R. E. Lee, when we consider what he has done and been to us ; as a man, an exemplar, a leader: ever true to his purpose and intentions in the sight of his fellow man and his God. It shall be my purpose in presenting this subject to omit the great battles and victories won and confine myself rather to the apparent small deeds and acts of his generalship. Feeling that we can get a more per? fect insight into the life and true greatness of any great character by studying first, the smaller acts and deeds than by omitting these and sim? ply referring to his deeds of greatness. Knowing as we all do, that the smaller acts and duties of life are a truer in? dex of what we really are than the greater achievements. What would our literary world have suffered without Dante, Milton, Shakespeare, Macaulay and other such. And likewise our military without Alexander, Hannibal, Napoieon, Jack? son and Lee? On Jan. 19th, 95 years ago was born to the South, one of the five greatest military leaders of the world. Well should Virginia be proud of the birth and life of this her illustri? ous son and the South together with the outside world should give to him the honor'and reverence due him. At the age of 18 his military life at West Point began, and from start to finish we find him faithful and dili? gent. As a reward for this, he is graduated with honor and distinction. Next we know him as Lieutenant Lee of the U. S. Engineering Corps: from Lieut, to Capt. we meet him advancing on his military career. After the close of the Mexican war, when there is no further use of his services, his alma mater reaches out her arms to him, not as one for in? struction, but as an instructor. Having been in the U. S. service 32 years before the declaration of the civil war and now being offered gen? eralship: we find him turning his back upon rank, honor, and position and pursuing the path of duty and dictation of conscience. Form henceforth he is known as General Lee of the Confederate army and our future, dealings with him will be in the capacity of same. In the short discussion of this sub? ject it shall be my purpose to present to you only three of the many facts that proved to the world the superior generalship of Robt. E. Lee. First. The disadvantages he was at in competing with the multiplying odds of men, material and resources. Second. The recipocated love that gashed between general and private soldier. Third. The real cornerstone of Lee's life was his trust in his God. When we consider the great disad? vantages he was at in competing with the Federal army, as to number of men, great wealth and superior arms, it is then that we shonld truly appre? ciate his courage, skill and calmness. Who among us would have dared even to line up against such an over whelming number? Compare the armies as to number: IS millions of Federals against 6 mil? lions of Confederates. Three to one. At the battle of Chancellorsville Lee won his greatest victory: here too we find him the victor of three times his number. Now for a moment think of the con? dition of his men. Behold, them in rags, shoe-less and half starved, what an awful picture it presents! Yet when we think of what they ac? complished, we are inclined to over? look the hardships and endurances to which they were exposed. Not only did his men learn to love and adore him, but the whole South began to look to him with great love and hope. The next point I call your attention to is the reciprocated love that flashed between him and his men. There is I think no more suitable words of expressing this feeling, than by the beautiful poem of Thompson, entitled. , LEE TO THE REAR. At the dawn of a pleasant morning in May Broke thro" the wilderness. cool and gray, While perched in the tallest tree tops, its birds. Were carolling Mendlesolins "song vvjth words." Far from thc haunts of men remote Tile brook brawled on with a liquid note. And nature, all tranquil and lonely wore Th.e smile of spring as in Eden of yore. Little by little as daylight increased, And deepened the roseate flush in the East Little by little did morning reveal Two long, glittering lines of steel 2 All of a sudden ere rose the sun, Pealed on the silence the opening gun, A little white puff of smoke there came And anon the valley was wreathed in flame. Yet louder the thunder of battle roar? ed, Yet a deadlier fire on their columns poured : Slaughter, infernal rode with Despair, Furious twain, through the smoky air. Not far off in the saddle there sat A gray bearded man with a black slouch hat; Not much moved by the fire was he Calm and resolute, Eobt. Lee. Quick and watchful, he kept his eye On two bold rebel brigades close by, Reserves that were standing (and dy ing) at ease Where the temple of wrath toppled over the trees. The grand old beard rode to the space Where death and his victims stood face to face, And silently waves his old slouch hat A world of meaning there was in that Follow me! Steady! We'll save the day. This is what he seemed to say : ' And to the light of his glorious eye The bold brigades thus made reply. "We'll go forward, but you mus? go back" And they moved not an inch in the perilous track Go to che rear and we'll give them a route Then the sound of the battle was lost in their shout. Twining his bridle, Robt. Lee Rode to the rear. Like the waves of the sea Bursting the dykes in their overflow, Madly his veterans dashed on the foe; And back-ward in terror thst foe was driven, Their banners rent and their columns riven. Wherever the tide of battle roiled, Over the wilderness, wood and world. Sunset out of a crimson sky Streamed o'er a field of ruddier dye, And the brook ran on wtih a purple stain From the blood of ten thousanud foe man slain. Seas'ons have passed since that day and year, Again o'er the pebbles the brook runs clear And the field in a richer green is drest Where the dead of the terrible conflict rest. Hushed is the roll of the Rebel drum : The sabres are sheathed and the can? non are dumb, And Fate with pitiless hand has furled The flag that once challenged the gs.ze of world. But the fame of the Wilderness fight abides And down into the history grandly rides Calm and unmoved as in battle he sat, The gray bearded man with black slouch hat. History tells us that there was notii ing he undertook before asking God's guidance and direction and whatever came to him he always said "God's will be done." He was called the great captain of his age. The great general of the South, a good knight, noble of heart and strong of purpose both a soldier and a gentleman. These beautiful words were said of him soon after his death. General Lee's fame is not bounded by the limits of the South .or by the continent. I rejoice that tue South gave him birth. I rejoice that the South will hold his ashes. But his fame belongs to the human race. Wasihngton too was born in the South and sleeps in the South, but his fame belongs to mankind. Let us then place the name of Lee by that o: Washington. They both belong to the world. There is one thing more I wish to say before I close. General Lee's fame ought to rest on its true foun? dation. He did net draw his sword in the cause of slavery : be did , not seek to overthrow the (J. S. Govern? ment. He drew it in thc defense of consti? tutional liberty. That cause is ' not dead, but will live forever. Our hon? ored Lee was not only a soldier brave and true, but also an educator. It is an honor to all the Southern schools and colleges, that this pure and bright name is joined'by the will of him that bore it with the cause of education. We oelieve that so long as the name of Lee is cherished by Southern teachers, they will grow stronger in their work. They will be encouraged to greater effort when they remember, that Lee was one of their number, and that his great heart bore also, amid its latest aspirations, the interests and hopes of the teacher. As time rolls on, statue and city will pass away. But the name and virtues of Robt. E. Lee will never die since they era written in the history of his country, in the Book of Life and will live beyond the shores of Time. will save the dyspeptic from many days of misery, and enable him to cat whatever he wishes. They prevent SICK HEADACHE, cause the food to assimilate and nour? ish the body, give keen appetite, DEVELOP FLESH and solid muscle.
