THOUGHTS ON \0TING. Twelve days only will elapse be tween now and the primary election. The result of this election?the nam ing of a United States Senator, mem bers of the lower House of Congress, State Senators and members of the Rouse?will be locked upon by the people everywhere as indicating the intelligence and moral stamina of the citizenship of South Carolina. Un trammelled by Republican opposition, undisturbed by factional differences, there oan be no excuse for the selec tion of any man whose ignorance, moral turpitude or want of courage un fits him for the position he seeks to fill. It is a well known fact that thou sands of dollars have been wasted in the enactment of laws in recent ses sions of the Legislature which proved to be unconstitutional, causing con fusion to the counties, delay in the courts and much unnecessary trouble and expense to private individuals. Of such was the county government law, the jury law, the drainage law and some others. Can there be auy other cause assigned for this mislegis lation than ignorance? Surely there can be found among those offering for public office men of sufficient brains, culture and honesty to fill the positions, and he who feels a pride in his citizenship and hopes for progress and prosperity should place the quali fication of a man above friendship. Ignorance is a field in which grows rank weeds of vacillation, inconsist ency, weakness and unreasonable pre judices. Whatever of good grows in such a field is planted and nurtured by other hards. It is not indigenous. In short, an ignorant man is at best merely the tool for intelligence and likely to be used as often for bad pur poses as for good. The typo of man here represented is not without friends. Some of them have very many, and to such we would suggest that they will best conserve their friendship and at the same time bene fit their State and honor themselves by declining to cast their votes for this friend. These remarks aro di rected more especially to our State offices. It is a plain, simple plea for intelligence and morals. , In the selection of representatives for Congress, a Senator and members of the House of Representatives, coupled with intelligence and purity of life, there should be undoubted moral cour age and dignity. The industrial bat tles which must be fought out in the near future in the hallo of Congress calls for the strongest men the State can muster. Men of ability, courage and dignity who will stand amidst the brains of the nation, alone if necessary, and battle for the rights of the plain people of our Southlaud against whom the iniquitous laws of the Republican party are operating in a manner more disastrous than they have ever thought of. Legislation of the Republican party enoourages and fosters the enor mous combinations of capital which have restricted competition and ncr ruwed the field of employment. The small factory and small store is rapid ly disappearing, and with them the numerous opportunities of beginning life in a moderate way and gradually winning comfort and independence. A small clerkship, with barely more compensation than is sufficient for support is about all the average young mau need hope to obtaiu. The pro tective tariff law, a Republican meas ure, which brings about great corpor ate fortunes at the expense of the plain people, operating against them as an indirect tax which they are forced to pay ou every article of cloth ing they wear and on every instrument or too* they use in the various pur suits of life; these and other vicious systems of legislation which are grind ing the people to desperation, must be corrected, and it can only be done by the selection of representatives who have the courage of their convic tions and whose brains aud energies will be constantly engaged in demand ing the rights of the people. What is needed by the South in Congress is men whose dignity and wisdom com mands a hearing. It has been so and can be again. Victory cannot be won over a Republican majority without the constant waging of war, and men who can be bought off or toled off by an occasional appropriation sought, is far from being the representative the, people want. How insignificant ap pear the appropriations secured for South Carolina from the last seven months' session of Cingress, when the fact is known that the sum appropria ted during this session reached the enormous amount of one t housaud and fifty-niuo millions, five I un 1 red and fifty-seven thou? .id and tiftytwo dollars, all of which is wrum* from the addition to the indirect tax resulting from the protective tariff law?. Is it not time that .South Carulioa was waking up to the necessity of sendiog tuen to Congress whose energies will be directed to the BEST iuterests of. the plain people? The cotton mills of this State have organized a mutual insurance com pany with headquarters at Greenville for the purpose of insuring members against loss by fire, storms, etc. The company is known as the Southern Manufacturers' Mutual Insurance Company, and there is no capital stock as the company will be conduct ed on the assessment basis. The company has been granted a commis sion by the Secretary of State, and the list of iocorporators include Jas. L. Orr, J. A. Brock, V, A. Smyth and many other mill presidents in various sections of the State. Public sentiment in favor of that simple and effective form of anti-trust legislation which will remove the du ties on all articles controlled by the more evil trusts gains strength and volume day by day. There is a feel ing that this is the only praotical way in which the trusts can be successful ly fought. The truth is known that the monopoly trusts could not exist but for the high protective tariff which creates their monopolies. The further truth is known that the Ameri can people pay the gigantic tax im posed by reason of the high tariff which thus fosters and enriches the trusts. This makes plain the man ner in which the trusts are to be over came. The tariff duties on all arti cles controlled by the monopolistic corporations must be removed. To the oareful observer and earnest enthusiast for a higher and better life on the farm, there comes a thought true and forcible,?are we educating toward the farm or away from it? We look at our primary schools, our high schools, and do we not see the ten dency almost wholly against the farm? There is a remarkable development and interest in agricultural education in Europe, where it is common for agriculture to be taught in every grade, from the primary school through the college. What is the tendency in this agricultural nation of ours? Too often, we fear, away from the farm. The common school recruits the academy, the college, the univer sity; but does it recruit the agricul tural and mechanical college, or do what it ought to recruit the ranks of good farmers? May we not hope the time is near at hand when agriculture will be taught not only in the com mon schools, but the high schools and colleges as well? Townville News.
