CROPS AM) WHdTICS.
FoKK OF EniRTO, I ,1BI\RTY Tuv.-v HII',
July 1st 1880.
Dtithr Titties :
I thought a word from this section
might In- of interest to your many
readers.
The crops in this section arc look
ing very well, considering the ilry and
hoi weather, though very hack ward
for the first of July. Wheat is a
(complete failure. Oats-?very good
c rop.
Now, Mr. Editor, as the lime for
our County nominating Convention
is near at hand, I thought I would
like to say some thing about Some of
i he aspirants, as several have already
Iteen announced. As farmers, in
LS78, 1 tliink we were too exclusive
in our County nominations, saying
WO would not take any law or physic
in ours. 1 think. Sir. Editor, we
should mix a little this time. I see
from the papers, Gen. Jas. p. Mar is
recommended as a candidate for
Stale Senator, and I heartily concur,
and think hint the most popular man
in the < oiinVy for that position: also
Dr. J. C. llolinan for representative,
and I would add another name with
Dr. prefixed,.J. W. Summers of* Low
er St. Matthews. With these two
M. D's. on our ticket as representa
tives, the fanners interest would he
in good hands. The writer has been
acquainted with Dr. S. ever since we
"went to the same log school house to
gether, and know him to be an ener
getic successful farmer, and in every
way qunlilied, and I hope he may he
announced I>y his Club, and nominat
ed hy t he ( 'onvont ion.
In reference to the aspirants for
Clerk of -Court, 1 think the claims of
Mr. Robert Copes (hebest, if materi
al services rendered the County he
any considerat ion.
Now, M r. Editor, the last, though I
not the least, is the announcement,
that I and your many friends rejoiced
to se?'. that the unmc.nl* Mr. S. K.
Melliehamp is put forward for
School < 'oinuiissionur, as no one hut
an experienced teacher can know 111??
wants of a public school.
Mr. Editor, is there no remedy Ibi
<>ur present free school system? It
has been tried and found wanting?
as the poet said, "Hollow?hollow, all
is hollow."1
I mii>t close sis I am only prepar
ing food for t he waste basket.
Very Respectfully,

.lOIfiS IIEPXEIPS LUCK.
.lohn Ilepner of Reading was horn
in Germany in ISl?. In 18-10 he
married. M is wife lived eight years,
and bore him seventeen children.
She presented him with twins in the
first year <>f their marriage. The
next year another pair of twins was
born. Every year for four years
thereafter Mrs. Ilepner gave birth to
triplets. The seventh year was sign
alized by the birth of only one child
to the couple. Mr. Ilepner's seven
teen children, thooldest only 7years ]
of age. were taken in charge three
months after .Mrs. Ilepner's death by
n young German lady, who became
the second Mrs. Ilepner. The first
Mrs. Ilepner died in February, 18-18.
IuFehiuhry, L8-10, Ini*successor pre
sented Mr. Ilepner with a boy. Oil
Christmas Day of the same year the
nineteenth child was added to the
Ilepner's flock. Oliee a year for
live years afterward the family was
increased by twins, and for three
years after that one child a year was
born to Mr. Ilepner. The last three
were born in this country, Mr. Hep
tier having emigrated from < icrinsiny
in 18.VI. In l.s-"?7 hi^ wife died, hav
ingbeen married nine years. Of the
thirty-two children thai had been
born to Ilepner. twelve had diel. In
LS?8 he married a widow with one
child. The third wife bore him nine
children in ten years, by single
births. Mr. I lepucr and his hist wife
are still living. None of his lirst set
of seventeen children survive, d u o
of the second wife's lifteen are.alive,
and three of the third wife's nine.
AVilb the step child that the last
marriage added to the list, forty two
children have called John Ilepner
father.
We clip the following from the
'?Stall- Riiildcr:"
"As one goes from Columbia to
wards Charleston on I be South Caro
linn Railroad, ho sees a growing town
in the upper portion of Orangehurg
county, a few miles below Fort Motte,
which is now called St. Matthews,
formerly Lowisvillo. It was our good
fortune recently, to spend :t few
hours there and were Surprised t"
learn the amount nfbusiness that is
done, ami the rapid improvement of
the place. It ison an elevated locn
lion, very healthy, and 'thecentre of
a line section of the surrounding
county."
A man was sawing wood yesterday
afternoon in a backyard. Me sever
cd two sticks a> thick iisyou'r wrist,
and then wen) into I he house und
said to bis wile: "Mary, iny collII
try needs me ; I here's no use l a Ik i ng,
we've jusl L;ot to slaughter all those
Injuns; and no true patriot can he
expected i" hang round a wood pile
ihose days." "?lohn," said his wife,
"if you light Injuns as well its you
saw wood and support your family,
it would lake one hundred and eight
ecu like you to capture one squaw,
and you'd have to catch her w hen
she had I he ague a ml throw pepper
in her eyes." John went back to the
wood pile wondering who told his
wife nil a I mil I him.
A DESERTED TRIBUTE.
The- niiiili plank in the National
Democratic platform adopted at Cin
cinnati reads as follows:
? The resolution of Samuel d. Tihl
en not again to he a candidate for the
exalted [dace to which he was elected
by a majority of his countrymen, and
from which he was excluded by the
leaders of the Republican party, is
received by the Democrat's of the
United States with deep sensibility,
and tin y ihcl re tinir eonlhleneein
his wisdom, patriotism and integrity,
unshaken by the assaults of the com
mon enemy; ami they further assure
him that he is followed intothe retire
ment he has ? hosen for himself by
the symphathy and respect of his fel
low-citizens, who regard him as one
wht), by elevating the standard of
public morality and adorning and
purifying tin public service, merits
the lasting gratitude of his country
and his parly."
