Wade Hampton** Farewell IfHis Soldier* From His Pia/./.wLast May.

My Comrades: I have indeed, as

Major Hart has suid, heard that Rebelyell often before and when I heardit from my own men, from the men

whom I had the honor to command,I knew that we were safe. I thinkit is one of the British poets whosaid :

"The kites know wellThe long league's swellThat bids the Romuns close."I might paraphase this by saying:The Yankee knew wellThe Rebel yellThat made the Johnnies close.

My old heroes, I hope it never will)e forgotten. I hope it will be transnitted to your children and to yourhildren's children.if not for thetno use, to tell how it used to ringrom the forests of Virginia, how itaog from (fettysburg td the west,nd how it always told 01 men whorsre willing to die for their southind,to die for truth, for honor, forlanhood, for chivalry and for a greatause. I want you to try anfl teachour children, your children's chilrenthat ours was not a lost cause. Iant you to tell them that we were

ghting for the right. George Washigtonwas a rebel but Lee was not.

i'hen Great Britain recognized theidependence of this country ane

reign. There were 18 independentnd sovereign States. They foundedlis union and they had the right to

ilhdraw from it whenever they chose> to do. We were not successful.itnot given to mortals to command

access. You have dine more.youave deserved it. '

And now in your declining yearsnd when mine have extended longeyond the period allotted to man,

du, my old comrades, whom I lov-1. whom I trusted and with whom I 1

ilt as safe as I do now, 1 want to

ly to you and all that the love you (

ave given me has been more than

iciprocated; that all that I haverer been able to do for you, for any I

le of you, or* for South Carolina, *

as been more than repaid by themors you have unsolicited conferredpon me and by this the crowning 1

mors of my life. I may not see

iu again. I remember a story ofardinal Wolsey, who, when ready to !

tire from public iJfAwoot to the 1>t and said :

* "O father abbotn old man broken with the storms

of state. ».

s come to lay his weary bones amongye J

live him a little earth for charity."That is a'l I ask of South Caeolioa

-a few feet of earth where my kinIredfor six generations are resting.

Lnd I am proud to say that one or

nore of each generation, since theyvere known in South Carolina, has

illed a bloody grave "for South Caroina.(Applause.) I claim no credit

.'or that. Every South CarolinianAho was true was willing to give his

t>lood and his life for the old State.

[ am sure that I was willing to do so.

I think I can say to you, my men,

that I never turned my back upon

one of you when your faces were

turned toward the enemy. The greatesthonor I felt durirg the war was

once when 1 came upon a poor privatewho was dying. I stopped besidehim and he said: "I am happyto die fighting, and 1 am proud to die

fighting under you."I pray God will bless you and will

give you peace and prosperity, give it

to the old State, give it to each one

of you and that you will go home and

tell your kindred that you have seer

your old comrade and that he thank*

| them through you.

FROM COTTON TO CATTIE.

Poor crops, low-priced cotton andhe overflowing of bottom lands are

ausing many tamers to turn their.ttention to cattle. It is a wise confusionthey have r<ached and theyhould wisely make the change,luch a change is a revolution and itannot be accomplished in a day.lie first of April in a certain town inhe upeountry a man was inquiringor one or two good milch cows. lieaid he knew whore there were some

'oung ones with first calves, hut

hey were so poor that they couldmrdly stand up. The owner of theseleifers was not ready to go into theattle business. If one wishes to

aise fat cattle for beef lie should seurea thoroughbred bull of one ofhe large breeds. He should thenceep only as many cattle as he can

eed well through the winter and upo the first of May. Th.e cheapct'oughagc for cattle is hay made fromiea vines and sorghum, uuless ono

las a meadow well set in good grasshat requires no reseeding. If one

tas no winter pasture it will requirebout two tons of hay to feed a twoir three year old cow six monfjis.That hay will be worth about $30,>ut the manure, if properly caredor, will be equal to a ton of the bestcommercial fertilizer. If a farmervishes to raise milch cows he shouldjet the Jerseys or Guernseys. TheTolstein is better suited for thosevho sell the milk as they give more *

ban the other two breeds. Get the>est breeds. Do not attempt to win4tmore than you can feed well. J)otot overcrowd your summer pasture.iV'ork at this business by degrees.HE VABMEBS ABE UNITED ON COTTON.

Beports from various counties ofbe Stat® indicate that farmers are

laying much more commercial fertilInbtruinJtn An Tho

neaning of that is that they are gongto increase the cotton area. Theres no combination on the part of farners,but there is a sort of telepathiccommunication and transmission of>nforraation.a kind of wireless intercoursewhich brings them to activith unanimity when it comes tocotton. All the cotton farmers are

ioing just what the farmers of thisState are. They figure it out that itIs cheaper to make 9 cent cotton andbuy flour, bacon and corn from theWest. Let the farmers 6tick to theirplan of raising more corn and haythan usual, even if cotton should goto 12 cents. Look at the conditiontoday, More than half the farm animalsof the State are not properlyfed. Empty cribs mock their owners

as the wind whistles through thecracks. Cattle are in poor condition.The only hope is to raise an abundanceof grain and hay A farmer ofthe State said a few days ago that hesowed five acres of land last Octoberin oats, applying about 2:30 pound* pof commercial fertilizer to the acre.

He expected to make li>0 bushels ofloat» on the lot. The frottta, free/onI and llooda which laRt«d continuously-.uifi tuo.ilhs, killed the oats. Aboutlue utk>t of April his foreman saidthat he would like to plant that fiacrelot in cotton for he could makethree bales with the addition of a littlefert'lizer. At 8 cents that cottonwould have brought $120. The costwould have been $713; leaving #1.3 andthe seed net. The owner of the landsaid,''No, let it alone. It is not

washing. Sow a bushel of pea3 tothe acre about May 2U *o June i.

You can save ten tons of hay worthin the barn $150, at a cost of $30.That would give a net profit of $120.The land would be in better conditionthan if planted in cotton."Another interesting hay problem

is proposed for those farmers whothink that cotton is the only thingworth planting. Suppose a farmerhas a ten-acre lot which under favorableconditions would make 10 bahsof cotton worth at 8 cents $100. Theseed at present prices would be $75.The cost of making and marketingthe crop would be 5 cents a poundwhich would leave a net profit of$225. The cost of a pea crop on thesame land would be about $50 includingbaling. Land that would make a

bale of cotton to the acre would make2$ tons of pea vine hay, or 25 tons on

the 10 acres, worth $15 a ton or $825net profit. Let the farmers of theState think on these problems.FARMERS ARK CONSUMERS NOT PRO-- J

cotton in the fall to pay for these

supplies. It is a rare thing to see a

farmer bring in something to sellevery time he comes to town. Theywill never be able to assert their independenceuntil they become producersinstead of consumers. Let thetnraise to sell. Owing to the mult!plieationof towns there is a prettyfair market in reach of neariy everyfarmer, By making cotton the surpluscrap the farmer would be able to
