County Examiner Boards of Pensions are required by Jaw to meet on tue third Monday in January of each year for the purpose of considering applications for pensions, as provided for by the laws of South Carolina. There were no changes in the Pension Law by the last Legislature and those Boards arc expected 10 follow the same rules governing them the previous year. The law, as we understand it, docs not contemplate a re-examination of applicants passed upon and approved heretofore, but County Examing Boards of Pensions will receive new applications under the rules heretofore governing them. When all applications shall have been acted upon, then the County Examining' Boards of Pensions and the Board of Pension Commissioners elected by the survivors of the respective Counties, i-?iall muet together and examine the pension roll for . itch County, and .select therefrom such number of the most needy applicants as will be sufficient to consume the appropriation of such County, allowing to each applicant so selected the sum of three dollars per month from such appropriation, in selecting such apl^Aiioinn tlir* ?*11/1 Rnnr/1 !Jlii;UUl9 X\Jl I * v' UJV, <? shall hare re?ard i<> tin; physical c*oudition and financial means of such applicants, mid also to the iiiiancinl condition of near relatives of the ?creral applicants, and shall. in every instance, select the most helpless and needy applicants for aid that can be found upon the pension roll.

This being known these dusky agents were notified at once to get up and dust" and forthwith to bid the old hills of Fairfield an everlasting farewell. This they accordingly did in a most unceremonious manner.

It is to be hoped however that the emigration fever will soon subside and | that they will go to work with their characteristic energy ami faithfulness, and realize the fact that "there is 110 place like home." The crops in this section were exceptionally line last year. Several instances can be given where parties on very ordinary land without the aid of fertilizers of any kind, made from 10 to 15 bales of cotton. The farmers arc better encouraged and more hope ful than they were at this time last year, and will no doubt strain every nerve to succeed again this year. \'ery little farm work has been done as yet, thought it is quite probable that if tho weather continues favorable another week the voire of the plowman will be heard, and the routine of turning' old mother earth will commence in earnest.
