THE MANNING TImES. '_IEDNESDAY, MAY 26, 1886. B. S. DINKINS, Editor. The contest for the Gubernatorial ebair is warmly prosecuted in Geor gia, by Gen. John B. Gordon, on the one hand, and the Hon. A. 0. Bacon, on the other. Both are gentlemen of prominence, ability and character, and either would fill the position with dis tinctien. Gen. Gordon, however, will likely be the successful competitor; his enviable war record is a most ef fectual advocate in these days, for the people's suffrage. The victorious hurrah of the old heroes' friends will be re-echoed in the hearts of South Carolinians for his gallant services to this State in 1876. A letter of considerable length, pub lished in the News and Courier of Monday, from Capt. B. R. Tillman, defending the acti.on of the late Farm ers' convention against the adverse crit icisms made by that paper, is repro duced in the Txm s of to-day, to the ex elusion of editorial articles. This is done that our readers who do not take the Courier may see both sides c-f the question, and to establish our dispo sition of fairness towards Capt. Till man. Capt. Tillian's Letter. To the Fitor of The Aews and Courier: Pres sure of farm work since the adjournment of the "Farmers' Convention" has left me no time to reply to the fusilade of criticism called forth by its action. And, first, let me correct some mistakes and misapprehensions of your Reporter. The effort to belittle the Convention and el evate me on the pedestal of the demagogue by saying, "It was Capt. Tillman's Conven tion all the way through," &c., will not hurt our cause in the least, because it is not true. It was a representative body of earnest, in telligent men taking counsel for tne good ofthe Stite, and what little control I exer cised over its actions arose from the fearless mner in which I had attacked existing abuses and the unanswerable arguments ad duced to sustain my position. The com mittee on resolutions, who had full control of all bnsiness brought before the body, consisted of one from each county, appoint ed by each county delegation. I had noth ing to do with their selection, and I don't even know half a dozen of the thirty picked men- composing that committee. What more need be said to show that these men went -to- Columbia with their minds already made up, and had no desire to hear lengthy discussion on the questions I have been agitating and others besides. [went into the Convention on Friday an ticipating a long and hot debate. I was prepared with facts and arguments to sus tain each' and every one of my resolutions. The-speech made at the opening of the Qvention had required little labor and thought, while to show the justice, the wis dom,.the necessity of the reforms I advo cate -ar been my sole study for months. Tho'Convention needed no arguments other thanIhavealready used in the Netcsand Ou ier to ednvince it, and I am glad that I was spared the labor of making any. The Nezes anmd Corier will if it continues its present bbardmeDt. give me an opportanity to use much of this ammunition, so I may say it is wellto be prepared even if it was not aneoeary to shoot. But I desire to make a tredietion right here, and that is that the of the State will ratify most if not all the acts of the Convention, and time will show whether it was a Farmers' Convention or "Cant. Tillman's Convention." I can tell where t'he shoe pinches. It was a "Farm ers' Convention," and was a thoroughly rep resentative body, and every one' knows it, but it nearly kills some people because it agreed with "Farmbr Tillman." The insinuation that the Convention was drunk on Friday evening, as shown by the use of the words "staggered mn," was un worthy the brilliant young gentleman whose fulland otherwise full and accurate record ofiS~proceedings is worthy of all admnira io.' .I hop for his own sake that it was * tapograph'cal error, and that he wrote or meant "stragled in" "for it cannot be shown tbat there was any drunkenness. "N. G. G."'was very mad about the Citadel being abolished, on paper, bat this was an ungen etous way to get revenge, and the accusation 02nly recoils on the accuser, if he so intend edlit. *One more mistake in the report of the proceedings and I will pass on to the edito rials. Ihad nothing to do with the ap pointmient of the committee of seven to memorialize Congress. I did assist Mr. Tizidal in making up the executive commit teeat his request, asit was to he supposed Isaas better cognizant of what men were best suited to carry out this because it is so industriously tried to be shown that the Convention was an assemblage of puppets in my hands which is totally untrue. .The first objection raised by the Yewes and (buier ' -~iktwhat is terms the "Tillmian plaform 'is theappointment of a commit tee to propose birs' and wait on the Legisla ture next November and urge the passage so, aa- to change these resolutions into law. The "modern Moses" wrote his resolutions to cover all the points he wished to make, mnd gave no thought to the "stone tablets of his ancient prototype." If I could have done this with less than eleven resolutions, I wouldhave done so. I do not feel that I ami ordained to lead the farmers "out of the wilderness," but I sincerely and honestly believe the reforms embodied in these rcso lutions would go far towards helping to ad vance our agricultural interest: so believing, Ishould be less than a man not to boldly urge their adoption.. This committee, representing the large and respectable body of farmers who recent lymzet and authorized it to present these matters to the next Legislature, will exercise great influence, even if that body shall be oif men other than farmers. We will, if we can, send men to the Legislature to "take It.* But it is surely permissible to show the justice and expediency of our action. One simple fact will show not only why this is nedessary, but that The Netos and ourier is as ignorant on many of' these questions as the members of the General Assembly are likely to be. It says: "The proposition to have the secretary (commissioner) chosen by a board of agri culture, which itself shall be elected by the delegates to a class convention, to take the place and assume the duties of a State offic ur, was assuredly not well weighed before it was- promulgated and adopted. Such a -proposition, we are sure, winl never find far or in a South Carolina Legislature, evtn though it were composed entirely of farmers.' "Let not the shoemaker go beyond his last." The Newes ad Courier, too, better stick to "free trade" and let agr'iculture alone. The legitimate duties of this oflicer would be the encouragement, protection and ad vancement of our agricultural interests. The collection of the phosphatte royalty should be given to the comptroller general, ad in all humility ? ask, why may not the farmers of Sonth Carolina be allowed to control that department of the government which they alone support, which is, or iught to be, devoted entirely to advancing their interests? This method of choosing the secretary, has existed in Ohio since 1h47. The same system of t'gricultural adminis tration exists in Maine, in Connecticut, in Iidiana, in Illinois, in Iowa and many oth er Northern States. If The Setes anti Curier can tell us why the agricultural societies, free from political iuunvs, ennat s..icrt a better boarditha the Legislature, and why the board thu! chosen cannot select their own executive of ficer and thus secure a prompt and efficient one. I would like to have it do so. Without the power to dismiss an incompetent or un worthy officer, the board can accomplish nothing. and if the Legislature cannot trust the farmers to manage their own department we had better abolish it altogether. I will next briefly notice the Xews and Courier's bookkeeping. They say "figures won't lie," but I have alwaysthought it de pended on who set down the figures, and with what motives. As the Xews awd Couri er enters some "words" from my speech in its column of "promise," and then charges up $300,000 increased taxes in the column of "performance" alongside. I may well ask permission to show that its figures "lie" if I can. And, first, let me say that the present value of the plant of the Mississippi College does not represent its cost. The original cost of the buildings and farm was in the neighborhood of $100,000. There have been additions in stock and other appliances out of each annual appropriation during the five years since it started, but a large per cent. of its present valuation is increased in the value of the farm by a proper system of cultivation and natural increase in the large herds of cattle, &c., &c. Rome was not built in a day, and we do not ask or expect that our agricultural col lege shall come, like Minerva from the brow of Jove, armed and equipped for battle. All we ask is to plant it on the right foundation and l-t it grow. An appropriation of S7d, 000 fr -:. the tax on the fertilizers, which can be i. ;ed the first year to build and equip it, is all we want. The board of agriculture already possesses a complete chemical labo ratory which would thus not have to be bought. Many of the books in the State li brary can be spared for the agricultural li brary. Convict labor can be used in exca vating the foundations of the buildings and in making brick, &c., provided they can be spared from that blessed "Columbia ditch," and I guarantee that with these helps and with the money mentioned, the college can be opened on the 1st of January, 18SS. As for the experimental station, if Con gress don't give the $15,000 then the faculty will, as they now do in Mississippi and Michigan, carry on experiments without it. My information is that the bill will pass if it is reached on the Calendar before Con gress adjourns. If it is appropriated the money becomes available on July prox., and if the present trustees of the South Carolina College spend it on the agricultural annex at Columbia, the demand next winter for a separation of the agricultural college from the South Carolina College would be met by the argument that the experimental station had already been established at Columbia, and another link would be forged in the chain which now binds the two institut ions together. This argument, which I us ed in the Convention, overthrew all of Col. Duncan's specious arguments and promises on behalf of the trustees, and the farmers passed the resolution because they prefer a whole loaf hereafter to a crumb now. If the legislature grants our wishes in December next, then the experimental station can be provided for in planning the college. I am satisfied, also, that there is going to be a lively competition among the counties to secure the college, and I hope to enter Edgefeld in the race if I can wake her up. This element in the estimated cost will amount to no small item, I imagine. If we allow the present appropriation for the Cit adel to keep it up as a school for girls; if we give the South Carolina College $5,700 in place of the land scrip fund and its tuition fees, both institutions, it would seem, could be thus bountifully sustained, so that there would be really no call for any money save the $5,700. Noy, as regards the Constitutional con vention, I cannot see why it should cost ex actly $100,000. Why not say $1,000,000? It would appear that the changes needed in our organic law could be secured in at least as short a time as the Legislature takes to make an annual addition of patches to that alreads over-patched volume, the Revised Statutes, which won't stay revised, and I feel sure the s.ivings which might be secur ed in our county government, by a return to our old way of managing these things, say nothing of many other leaks which might be stopped, will amount, many times over in one year, to what this conventio'n would cost. There are many other urgent arguments why we should have a Constitut ional convention, but I will not give them here. I will sum up as follows: Additional expenditures recommended: Real Agricultural and Mechanical. College........--.---.--.---..$ 7500 Additional tax on fertilizers......25,000 Made up to South Carolina College for land scrip................. 5,700 Cost of Constitutional convention 30,000 Total..................-140,O0 There are those who believe a constitut ion of our own making is worth this much, if for no other reason than to call it our Con stitution. The present instrument under which we live was made by negroes, traitors and carpet-baggers. It was forced down our throats at the point of the bayonet. It has provisions, mandatory at that, which have not and cannot be obeyed. Our legis lators scorn and spit upon it when. it suits, and give as excuse that they are obliged to disobey some of its provisions, and thus they have lost respect for it. If for no oth er reason we need a new one and should have it. But let us see v;hether the $140,000, which is a liltle less than one mill, cannot be got ten w'ithout additional taxation, The work on the State-House should be stopped as soon as a good roof is put on and needed repairs made. We need education more than we do a grand State-House, Seventy five thousand dollars can be obtained right here, and without searching for a Legislat ue anxious to be economical can easily ob tai the rest and still reduce taxes. If the farmers do their duty in sending men to the next General Assembly there can be many thick-padded places found that will bear sli cing. They can find "places to cut" if they want to. The Farmers' Conventio~n has been blamed~ because they did not go into details. We were not a Legislature and we knew it. We intend to elect one, though, that will carry out our recommendations if we can. I will in another article notice some other things which have been said about the Far mer's Convention and its works. B.- R. TnLmtx. Hamburg, May 17, 1886. A REPORTER PUNISHED. On the occasion of the recent visit of the young ladies of the Columbia Female College to Florida, a reporter for the Jacksonville Herald, by reason of a witty article published in that paper, at the expense of the college girls, brought down on his head the dire vengeance of Dr. Darby, the pres ident of the college. The reporter, though no doubt, innocent of any de sign gr'eater than to furnish a humor ous column to his readers, merited the wrath of the Dr., who acted very properly. The account taken from the Columbia Register' says: On passing through Jacksonville a report er of the Hferald made up and published in the issue of his paper that (Thursday) after noon a pretended interview with one of the College girls, in which he put into her con versation all the slang he had rehashed from an old newspaper version of a similar inter view with the Vassar girl. On the return of our party to Jacksonville Dr. Frank Darby called at the office of the Herald an~d required that an apology should be made for the wanton disrespect shown by the reporter, and was assured by the writ er that it was only intended as a jeu d'espril, and that an aone.ide would be m'~de in the following issue of the paper. Later in the day as Dr. Frank Darby was on his way to vith some insulting word.-, whtn lie prompt . struck him, and as the reporter drew a istol Dr. Darby knockel him do-wn, when .is friends carried him of, and Dr. Darby oined his party at the depot in tune to take .he train. Served him right. The United States Court. This Court seems to be a big farce in South Carolina, and this assertion is made with great regret. Judge Bryan is a man of the highest charac ter, but his age incapacitates him from discharging the grave duties of his high office with that ability and expedition a proper administration of the law demands. Col. Youmans seems to enjoy the perquisities of the office of District Attorney, while Ex Judge Carpenter and-Wingate, both unpleasant relics of radicalism, do the work.-Pee Dee Index. From an editorial that appears in last week's issue of the Pee Dee In dex and copied in this week's issue of the Advertiser, we are informed that the office of United States District Attorney in South Carolina, while nominally filled by the Hon. Leroy F. Youmans, the duties in the offices are performed by one Wingate and Ex Judge Carpenter, two noted worthies of the carpet-bag Radical regime who found their way out after the war to feast and fatten themselves upon the misfortunes of our oppressed and insulted people.. Why is it that these men are kept in the discharge of the duties of the office? Mr. Youmans was appointed by a Democratic Pres ident as the people of the State sup posed because he was a Democrat. If Mr. Youmans is responsible for the continuance of these men in authori ty it is time the people of the State knew it. It has been more than once hinted that he retains them in office. We shall be sorry to learn that it is so, but if such is the truth the sooner the people know it the better.-Ches terfield Advertiser. Williamsburg Herald: Every Ameri ern citizen has, theoretically, a part in the sovereignty of the State. One of his gravest and most responsible du ties as a citizen, is the exercise of this power at the ballot-box. If incompe tent and corrupt men fill offices, elec tors have themselves to blame. The voter should let no personal motive influence him, nor make any promise of his vote for friendship's sake, but cast it for the best man and the pub lic benefit. By all means avoid promising to vote for any one. Keep it untrameled until election day, and then cast it for the candidate who an swers most satisfactorily the following questions: Is he able? Is he so ber? Is he reliable and patriotic? Williamsburg Record: At this writ ing, the 18th of May, the crop pros pect in this county and throughout the State, so far as we have been able to ascertain, is not encouraging. We have recently conversed with farmers from various parts of thl' county, and they all concur in the opinion that the outl6ok at this time is unpromising, and more so than for many years past. They estimate that at least one-third of the cotton crop is not up, and that even where it has come up the stand is bad and unsatisfactory. This is all attributable to the want of rain, and to the cool weather that has prevailed for several weeks. Those who plant~ ed cotton early, and while the earth was moist, obtained a good stand, but the cold nights and incessant winds have destroyed a great deal of it, and it is an exception to hear a farmer say he has a good stand of cotton. Cot ton that was planted later is still in the ground and will mostprobably re main there, until there is rain to bring it up. The corn crop, as a whole, is re ported to be b'ackward, small and in feior. The oat crop, which consists entire ly of spring oats-the fall crop having ben killed by the severe winter weather-is generally regarded as al most a failure, owing principally to the drought. rank Leslie's Popular Mlonthily for June, Opens with a very vivid sketch of the statesman who at this moment rivets public ttention-William Ewart Grladstone--grap pling boldly with a problem which for a :entury has taxed the intellectual power of he leading men in power in England-a government for Ireland which shall insure Ihe well-being of the people and retain the sland as a contented part of the British.
