An Interesting Latter from Charleston
Charleston, S,C.,June 18—The great
est attractions around Charleston out
side of the city and its building and
monuments are the historic Forts Moul
trie and Sumpter. Both are across the
bay from the city and ofi'orded me a very
interesting visit yesterday morning.
No relics of the Revolutionary war re
main in Fort Moultrie. A few of the
| cannons used during the late war lie
dismounted on the ground. The United
State government has placed several fif
teen inch smooth bore and eight inch
rifled guns at the fort with a large
amount of ammunition.There ai*e, also a
number of motors. Fort Sumpter was
the first southern port to fire a cannon
and to be shot at during the late war. It I of the adoption of the stars and
seems strong to a visitor that the Unit
ed States government does not put a
garrison at one or both of these forts.

EARtHQVAKKE SIGNS.
The city of Charleston is associated in
the mind of everybody as being the cen
tre of the terrible eavtliquack shock of
the night of Augusta 31st 1886. The ex
tent of its destruction is fresh in the
memory. Although many of the eilerts
caused by the earth’s trembling have
been removed, still I have seen plenty of
its works in my walks around the city.

as the flag of the United. States. The
flag used as early as January, 1776. by
the Continental army had thirteen alter
nated red* and white stripes, with the
united St. George and St. Andrew
eroses let into the Union. This was
changed by act of Congress, June 14,
1777, by retaining the stripes and plac
ing thirteen stars in the blue field. An
act of 1764 provided that there should he
as many stripes as stars, hut on April 4,
1818, it was determined that the flag
hould he as it is at present, thirteen
alternate red and white, horizontal
tipes . representing the independent
thirteen original States.
For several weeks an advertisement
has appeared iu tlie papers announcing
that Mr. C. D. McKie would sell his
fine Jersey eattle at auction. This saie
took place yesterday morning at 0:30
o’clock. At an early hour horses, bug
gies and wagons were seen wending
their way to Mr. MeKie’s farm, which
is about a mile from town on the Jef-
fersou road. When they reached the
farm they found the eattle herded
around the stables, ready to be sold.
Numbers of men were gathered
around the animals, each one express
ing his opinion as to the merits of this
or that piece of eow flesh. The}’ would
stroke the sleek coats of the animals,
or slap their fat sides, while the cows
tood lazily chewing the cud and occa

around to find the reason for so unusu

Some hundred or so men attende
the saie, and they were all buyers. It
was well known that Mr. McKie had
the best Jersey eattle in the State, and
every one was anxious to strike a bar-

were sold,.32 of which are registered.
The aggregate price all brought was
$5,000. The prices paid "per head

tlie registered cattle was from seventy

A Question of Science.
Some days ago at YVinehester, in the
Valley of Virginia,the people decorated
with floxVers the graves of the dead
battalions of Southern soldiers whose
remains rest in that historic soil. Gen
eral Early, a soldier] whose services
were largely given to tlie defense of the
valley, was present by invitation, and
under the inspiration of the influence of
the interesting occasion delived a stir
ring and eloquent address, in which he
said:
That cause was l03t, but that did not
prove that it was wrong, for the history
of the world abounds with instances in
which might has proved more powerful
thqn right. The fact, therefore, that
the cause for which these brave soldiers
gave their lives failed of snccess, and
that we haVe accepted the result with a
determination to abide the issue as the
final settlement of the question which
led to Hie eonflet, does not justify those
time-seYvers who pretend to have dis
covered that they were on the wrong side-
in the contest, either from want of
manly courage or from some sinister mo
tive of self-interest. As 1 have said on
a former occasion: “If ever I repudi-
An Excellent Small •' Grain Yield
vested—A Large Area in Corn-
-ti i Cotton Backward—Far
mers Economizing.
From nearly every section of tlie
country we receive the glad tidings that
the crop outlook has not been so promis
ing since 1882." ' :
If any confidence can he placed in
signs, fora series of years, beginning
with the present crop, our tillers of the
soil will be well repaid for their labor.
From the daysof Joseph there have been
seven.years of plenty and: seven years
of poor harvests. If this be true, 1889
should mark a turn.in the tide. ’
Again, if Old Christmas, or the
twelve first days in January, can be ac
cepted as an index to the - ensuing
months, and hundreds of our people
believe in this sign, we are to have
good seasons, free from disastrous
floods.
But there is still another sign of a
good crop year that has i never been
known to fail : It is said that when
there is a good peach crop, all the othei
crops are sure to be abundant. Our sec
tion has perhaps never seen a finer
fruit year than the present. Every
manner of bearing trees are laden; and
this, too, will go a long ways toward
helping the people bridge the hard
times between now and when the har
vest matures. Gardens, too, ;are filled
with the nicest vegetables of all de
scriptions, and our industrious house
wives are enabled to set a good table at
a small cost.
Merchants from all over Georgia tell
ns that they never knew farmers to ex
ercise such rigid economy. Their store
accounts are from 25 to 50 per cent, less
thaw any previous year. There seems
.to he a unanimous determination among
this class to “save themselves out of
debt.” They are assisted in this good
work by the exceedingly low prices at
which they have been enabled to pur
chase supplies.
The dry spring also came to the as
sistance of our agrieultual friends, by
enabling them to clean theircrops with
out the expense of extra hands. The
recent rains have brought up grass, hut
the. regular force ean keep it down.
One of the best small grain crop3
raised in years has been harvested.
While the heads of wheat are not large,
the grain is sound and well filled. Fall
oats were never better, and fortunately
a good many were sowed in certain sec
tions. At one time it looked as if
spring oats would be a total failure, hut
the timely showers brought them out,
and there are few fields too low to har
vest. An unusually large area was
planted in spring oats, and while the
yield is nothing to brag oil, a large
quantity will be made.
Corn is as fine as the land can grow,
and more has been planted than any year
since the war. A few years ago, it was
a rare sight to pass a field of upland
corn. Now, in traveling over the coun
try, you see two acres in this crop to
one of cotton. Unfortunately, too
many farmers have become discouraged
and turned out their bottoms. No
floods arc predicted for this year.
Cotton is small, and in many places the
stand is had; hut the late showqrs and
hot days have brought out this crop
wonderfully, and a good qrop will
doubtles he gathered.
The outlook for our farmers was never
brighter than thir vear

Poisoned Butter Caused One Death.
Chicago, June 22.—Alice Dickey, aged
nine years, daughter of L. S. Dickey,
whose family were poisoned by food I
which they ate Tuesday night, died this
morning. ■ It is believed that the other
members of the family will recover. It
was supposed at first that the poisoning
was the result of fermentation in some |
stale raspberries which the family par
took of, but investigation by health £of- j
fleers has led to the belief that the poison
was contained in some* butter scraped
from the bottom of a jar brought from
the country. An analysis of the berries
will be made. *
