Brownsville, April ISth, 1890. To tho Friends of tho Quininy School Canso in South Carolina. SPARTANBUUG, S. C., April l?, J SOO. Dear Brethren :-Tho nocossity and importance of the Sunday School to the Church and to the country need no do uions! ratiou . Tho fulute of loth do peuds largely upon tho character of tho Sunday School work of tho prcsout. livery christian man and icoman should encourage and join all legitimate cjj'orts ?ioincrease thc. vnmhr.v.: mu?. <?f?h\}%?A? \thC Sunday Schools of our (State. Tho Interdenominational Sunday School Association, through Execu tive Committee, heroby appeals lo all workers, of whatever name, in all parts of tho State, for sympathy and co-opcra lion. Our motto is: "The linton of all Christians for tho salvation of all o'hers." Our aim and object: (I) "A Sunday School within reach of every home in our .itatc. (2) A Convention, at lea3t once each year, withiu reach of every Sunday School Teacher. (3) A work ing Sunday School Organizition in every County and Township. (I) Thc visita tion ol our houso to invite all to Church and Sunday School, and lo make known to all Cod's free oiler of all Salvation through .Jesus Christ." Wc are greatly encouraged by thc successor last year's work. Ten new ' County Organizations were effected, making the total number of organized j counties twenty two. One ol thc re? waining counties has already organized this year, leaving unorganized only twelve, viz; Oconee, Greenville, Abbe ville, York, Chester. Fairfield, Horry, Georgetown, Beaufort, Darlington, Sum ter and Florence. Thc prospects tor the work before us were never more encour aging and we hope to extend thc work of organization in all thc remaining counties during thc present year. In a lew counties there exist Sunday School Conventions, Unions or Coaler enees, held under thc auspices of thc separate denominations, and tn such cases workers may be lound who hesi tate to engage in our Interdenomina tional Conventions, To all such breth ren wc desire to say that there is no con flict or antagonism whatever between thc two. Both the denominational and the interdenominational movements aim at thc very same results-better and more effective Sunday School work. Wherever it is desi ried and thought best by those interested to hold the denOmL 'national meetings let it be done, and we bid all such God's speed. But wc earn estly beg that in addition, you will also unite with the brethren of other dc? nominations in ?his work, and by organ ization, contact and discussion, give and receive*the benefits ol the wisdom, I methods and experience ol all for stim ulation and profit in your own home work. Thus, too, wc are brought into intimate and harmonious relations with the great International Organization which is encircling thc globe. Organi zation, systematic and thorough, is our aim; and wc do not want to ccai? our effoiis until every township in thc S:ate basan cflcctive organization, with coins mittccs actively at work visiting every house. The late Slate Convention was a most interesting and profitable meeting. It instructed the Executive Committee to employ an efficient, consecrated Chris. tum man as Organizer, tom0 >nto the Held and organize first the counties re maining unorganized, and dsit as Jar as he can thc other counties. The Committee, after prayerfully and carelully considering the irater, have elected Mr. C. L. Kike, of Ladens, S. C. as such Organ?7er, and they recommend him to the hearts and hordes of the friends of the Sunday School cause in the Stalo. Give him your .)ntirc sym* pathy and support. He con cS among you not his or for our glory, PUt for that of our common Lord and Sa>'0,lr?

TIW FAKMm?$> MQVmt?WT\ A CARKFUI, HKVIKW 1?V A KAHMUK, MR. EDITOR : A farmer wlio ie not in sympathy with tho present political agitation; known a? tho "farmers' movement/ cnn feo inconsistence*} and tilings that are unjust, both in the movement it self and those that lead it ; and, with no intention of abusing anybody, would direct tho attention of your renders to a few of them. It is inconsistent in Capt. Tillman to consent to enter tho race for the Governorship, when ho has persist ently said for thc last four or five years that he did not want atty ofjice lie ''new that he was laying himself Hablo to tho ohrtrgo of ?noonalntohoy whoa in his speech at Columbia he said, "There will bo those ready to proclaim from the housetop : 'There, ? - L. \- i-.i:....

She1-!, who hayo hohl office, and now holding them, aud who wish to continue doing the same, to cry out against tho iniquity of "aristocratic rings." //' they believe in the doctrine of "rota lion in office," why not bo consistent and rotate themselves ? It is hardly consistent for farmers to growl and complain at tho existence of "rings'* that they themselves have helped to form; for ii' "aristocratic rings'' exist uf nil thpv nen <?f iinrv.aair\r jnrt/}.t i/n of material that the farmers by thoir vote at primary elections and conven tions, nominated, and heneo elected, to office. Suppoao tliov elect all tho officers, Sta to and County, from Till itirin do\yn to Coroner, what gu iran tee have."they that Tillman will no*, hoad tho '"Stato House King'' and bogia to put oi\ airs and feel aristo cratic in tho Governor's chair? And if tho county ofllcers heretofore elect ed haVo formed "Court House rings," what is to* prevent those hereafter clectcd^from doing likewise? Till man and his followers do ?wt con-? [jcieotioimly believe tho Democratic party is corrupt ; neither do they honestly bojioyo in the actual exist ence of corrupt rings. All SUQII talk is bosh, and they know it, but iirordcr to reach the offnes, they have harped rm that string, Boiled down, Till maiiism is a fif ht of tho "outs" against the "ins" . .' . Ca])t. Tillltiau has made tho cjalm nt "Iho/armers havo' been deni?d {"?ir jA.v-:..\ - J$$sM 'Ul,~ .?1 ,!,n. unjust. Since 1970 fourteen men havo represen tn I our county in tho lower house of Representatives, only two of which number have been law yera, and all the others wore farmers. Tho lawyers were sau.siiod to serve one term each, while some of the farm ors have boen returned for two and evin tliree terms. Our county offices have been (il ed by farmers in about the same proportion, and tho sumo ratio would be shown for ell the counties in the Striae, except Charles ton, and perhaps Richland. Tho Governors regularly elected have ali heen farmers, except Thompson. Simpson and .Shepard only filled ont unexpired terms. And certainly a majority of tho Sta Le officers hpvp been taken from tho farms. The farmers have, had an equitable share of the offices, State and county, and hy ii ir vote haye controlled the elec 'ion? in the State since 7(3, and there fore they have not been denied politi cal rights in regard to office holding ; and if they have been discriminated against in the Legislature, they alone arc to blame, for they hove always had a majority in the Legislate "e. li is unjust to other classes of poo pie in the Democratic party ?or the farmers as a class to arrogate to themselves the right to control the affairs of the party. A farmers po litical movement necessarily excludes other classes from working with them A farmer would not intrude himself into a merchants' or lawyers' political movement, and yet those classes have the same right to organize themselves andjclaitii thai the}/ are the Democrat ic parly. I am sick of the sentiment that seems to prevail throughout thc land : "1 am a farmer, therefore 1 am entitled to this or that j" or, "bc catHC we arc farmers, this or that must be done for our special benefit." Let the fai'mois get out of debt, rnise their own supplies, pay cash for wh \t they buy, get rich farwing, then they would not ask our Coiigrcsmen te pass Sub-Treasury Bills, nor cure whether Tillman was Governor or not FA RM iou.

"My husband doesn't chew any moro tobacco," said a newly mar ried woman, to a party of friends, "or at le ist he doesn't where 1 can see him." "How did you stop him?" they all asked. "The morning nfl or wo wore married, "began tho lady, 'and ho and I were sitting on tl e front porch, i noticed ho was ill %t ease, and finally I asked him what was tho matter with him." "'My darling' he said, taking my hands, 'there is something I should have told you bo foro wo 1 wero rhnrri ed.' 1 : " 'What is it?' I gasped, as tho; 1 vision of another woman swept 1 over me.
