' I: VICE-PItESI ENT: ALLEN G. 'THUIIAN, l,F 0111. We ackinwledge from I-Ion. J. S. Cothrau a copy of 10H1n. J. (.. Carlisle's speveh on the t:rif. Greenville Gala Week was a grand success. Crowds of people were there, and everyone, it seems, enjoyed him self. At least that seens to be the general verdict. We are glad it was a success and only regret we were unable to attend. Governor Richardson and Mr. Till man met again at Chester last Monday. Capt. Dawson, of the News and Courier, has publicly announced that he will meet Tillman on the stunp; - then it will begin to get lively. Capt. I)awson is now in New York. The Press Association met last week in Greenville. The same officers were re-eleeted for the next year. 'Maj. John W. Holnes, of Barnwell, the annual orator, delivered an address on "The Garden of Eden." If there is much Garden of Eden in the publication of a weekly newspaper we have been una ble to find it. The next meeting we believe is to be held in Columbia dur ing December with Capt. F. W. Daw son, of the News and Courier, as orator. Governor Richardson does not think that the State should be made a party to the lawsuit in case the Clemson will is contested, and that the State should only accept the bequest if the State can control the college. He says: "Rather than have the State endow with large funds a college of agriculture and not be able to control it, he would prefer that South Carolina should let the Clemson bequest go and estab!ish and endow the college herself." The News and Courier of Monday publishes what purports to be a full list of the candidates so far announced for county offices in the State. It makes a total of only 852. Newberry is given only thirty-three in the list. Really we do not know how many are running for oficee in Newvberry, but we do know there are more than thirty three, for we have nearly that many candidates for county commrnissioners. The candidates are a good set of fel lows and have a good time. Maj. D. R. Duncan of Spartanburg was equal to the occasion. In the con gress convention at Laurens on Tues day night the nomination for congress is~'ofresto him by the convention, but as Laurens and SpartaiXburg had instructed for the primary he refused to take the nomination and preferred to submit his case to the decision of the people at a primary as the people pre ferred. He will not lose anything. by this decision, whether he receives the nomination or not. The county canvass is a little. over half through, or rather will be to<!mor rowv. So far, we believe, it has been pleasant andl free from personal ill-will. Of course tihe usual "campaign lies" are told on all the candidates, and they have occasionally to correct them. We * hope to see our county campaign fought strictly on the personal merits of the respective candidates, and without bad blood. Let the will of the people, as ex pressed at the polls, be the verdict by which the candidates must stand or fall. "This is not to be a pedigree cam . paign, but a camp)aign of square issues. The American peole don't care what your grandfather was, or whether you ever had one." The personal character and record of both MIr. Cleveland and M1r. Harrison is said to be good. The main issue, we presume, will be the tariff. We believe the people do love to have good stock, and they want to know that you have good blood in your veins, but a great deal more depends on what you are yourself than~ what y-our ancestry was. We have received from Mir. James Wood D)avidson, through MIr. John B. Alden, p)ublisher,.a cop1y of his book. "The Poetry of the Future.''

The H crald and News has never been :nvf- thu, ingor " . he.ub J''t of a eparatte :gricult :ral ollege. In Ihct, our record has rat her bIen agai-t -uch an ii-titu tioln at this time; not because we op pose the edlucation of the farmer, but rather bceause we favor such education, and have never believed it could be ob tained by the establishment of such an institution. The great mass of the peo ple and politicians took up the cry for a separate :griculttural college, and it is the questioni of the caIpaign, county and State, and all the canlidates at least are on one side, in favor of such college. So strong seemed to be the flood for such an institution that we have been silent on the question for some time, because suber thought and argu ment would not be listened to, and one who dareu to say that he did not be lieve a panacea for all the ills of the farmer was to be found in such an insti tution was put down as an enemy to the farmer. When Ir. Clemson's will was made publie we rather favored the acceptance by the State of this bequest, and thus let the experiment of a sepa rate agricultural college be made with out much cost to the State. Such an institution will be an experiment with us, and as we thought it could be tried in this way it might be well. We have thought of this matter a good deal lately and we have read care fully the will of Ir. Clemson, and we have come to the conclusion that the State should not accept this bequest. If the people want a separate agricultural college let us build it. This will may be contested by Miss Lee,the only heir at-law of Mr. Clemson, and who is yet a minor and will have four years after she arrives at the age of twenty-one years in which to do it, and then the control of this institution under the will, will not be under the State, but in the hands of the trustees appointed by Mr. Clemson and their successors. If the State is to have a separate agricul tural college let us have it, so that the State can control it. If the people want it they can have it. The people rule in this country; they pay the taxes and elect their rep resentatives who can establish such an institution if the great mass of the peo ple say so. Now we desire it distinctly under stood that The Herald and News is a friend to the farmer, notwithstandihg what anybody may say to the contrary. It is very nice to talk about trained men as lawyers, doctors and preachers, and the necessity for trained men as farmers, but is the thing practicable? How many boys from Newberry Coun tv could attend such an institution if it were established? How many who did would return to the farm and become farmers? What would be the praCtical results of the establishment of such an institution? These are quest ions to be considecred along with all this theory that we hear on the subject. There is one thing that may be put down as sure,that if such an institution is established with or without the Clem son bequest, the funds now available even by tearing down the "annex" will not be sufficient to maintain it. That, however, is a small question, if the peo ple want the institution. Siississippi has an Agricultural College, and wvhen this discussion first began a great deal was said ab)out such an institution on the M1ississippi p)lan. A correspondent of the News and Courier who attended the commnencemnent of this College last yer sunmmned up the opposition to it in that State as follows: "First, its establishmenit has in creased taxation tinnecessari ly. Second, that if they are to be taxed it should be for free common schools. Third, that the college does not make The tr-"uble with this College is that it does not make farmers, and we be lieve the same complaint conmes from other agricultural colleges. The John ston MIonitorgives the Farm & Fireside, an agricultural paper, as authority for the assertion that out of (65 graduates of the Agricultural College of Ohio, only one is:engaged in farming,and from the sane paper the following qJuotationl is made: "Indeed, we venture the assertion, which we believe cann ot be successfulIly contradicted, that no college or" iniver sy of genmeral edIucation in the United State.s wilt shou' a smnaller proportion of its graduates engaged in agricultural, pursuits than this agricult ural college oj Ohio." Rlestults may be diff'erent with us. If not, wvhere is your argument for techni cal training for farming, when only one ini sixty-five who have been trainedl for that business engage in farming? The trouble is that the farmer does not know what his son will be, or want to be, or is fit to be, when lie starts him of to college. The young man who is going to secure a technical course as a doctor or minister first obtains, if pos sible, a good literary education, and until this is dotne the decision of a pr.o fession is rarely mIade. A n agricultural college, separate andl distinet, is niot going to reach the farmers as a class, nor do the good they are now led to be lieve it will when established. What we ieed is more and better connton schools wvhere all the boys and grls can go and obtain ai good English educat ion: and when we get these, then, if we (desire it, let tus have I lie college, where the yomung man who desires to farm iimay go to take his technical course. A ilIthe legislative candhidates in New b erry favor the estabh lishmrzent of an ag rieulturaul college ando we suppose a majority of our people are on the same side. This beinug the catse, the people hear oniy one side of this question. Our convictions being those stated in this article, we felt it our duty to state them plainly and simnpl--. T1he peoplle will decide this question for them slves. No one will deny that ani agrictultural college will accomplish good. It will be a step forward, but is it the one most desired to he taken just ntow, and( the one if taken, that will result in the most good to the greatest number of our people who are the tillers of thet soil? That is the que-t ion to he dlecided. SENATOit IUTLElI AND THE CONFED) EItATE HOME. Sanator Butler itn his speech at G reen vlelast week called attetntiont to the tact that therewere Confederate soldiers and seamen in this State whose condi tion couild be best met by the State appropriating an annual sum of money to the cofeiersett f;':1e at michniil Va., or by the estai.lishmient of a Hont n this State.

The galleries cheered Iustily, gr and here the large number of Green- re ville spectators put in good work. P C. A. Douglas, of Fairfield, made a P strong plea for the convention. He st1 1 felt called upon, in the face of the almost de overwhelning sentillent agaiist him, er to enter one protest against the resolu- tl tion. He favored the conl"entiol, but ri was willing to ileet the primary men 1 half way, by adopting a system similar Cl e to the electoral college system, which to works so admirably in Georgia. ".John ImI Bratton,"said the speaker,"G(od knows, el is not afraid of the people. He faced g' 1 them in trying times and can do it e: now.'' He hoped the (olveltion of would give until tomorrow morning to s consider the cluestion. to I W. L. Gray spoke ill favor of the res- ti e olutions. "We have followed the plan pa outlined by the gentleman from Fair- gr field, by accepting a compromise bor- O rowed from the State of Georgia. It is the - hurled at us as a mere subterfuge, er alluding to tile Srate canvass.'' At the conclusion of Mr. Gray's speech, the 11 question was about to be put, when a an ~ motion was m a d e to take a recess. It Pe r was objected to, and a division was sl called, resulting in 25 to 19 in favor of se the recess. by During the recess a call was made for ut a conference between Union and I Spartanburg, Laurens and Fairfield delegates. This was not altogether relished by Greenville and Richland, w vho were quieted, when after five min e utes Mr. Gray returned and said that ni s the conference was not for the purpose , e of plotting, but to understand each m t other better. By this convention Dun- 10 can could be elected, but we have the ti< assurance of Duncan himself that he be e will go to the people. to ,1 In the caucus Fairfield not only to t otiered her full vote to Duncan if the st nomination were made by convention, B r but urged it with the vehemenee ex- c h ibited in Mr. Douglass' speech on the floor.

[Augusta Chronicle.} Ben Tillman evidently regards his eeting with Editor Dawson with tre dation. and suggests that chicanery ay triumph to his discomtiture,which Aks a little like hedging against an apate( disaster. No meeting day has tn fixed, but it is written that Cap in Dawson is after the farmer agita r, and will seek a meeting on the ump. He will be accomlniodated. an Tillnian is an honest toiler in his use, whose heart is his work, and he as brave as he is honest, and will not oid a meeting. The captain has only put in appearance where Tillnan is an appointment, and there is no lestionl about his being allowed every' >portur it.yto unload himself, for plain irier Tillnman never breaks a eamn uign engagement, and runs from no me.

Some Say that There is, and Others Say that There is None-Some Facts of the Case. BlEAUFORT, July 31.--The Beaufort Phosphate Company have obtained a license from the state board of agricul ture to dredge phosphate rock in the the waters of the Beaufort River. The incorporators of this company are: Jacob Paulsen, W. F. MeColley and Alton A. Smith, of Savannah, Ga. The colpaiy will go to work at once, their dredge and tug boat having arrived. This is a good t hing for Beaufort, as it will give emnploynelt to a g.>od many ienl iow1" doing not hing. It is estimat ed that it will cost between fifteen hundred and two thou.and dollars per month to carry on the business of the new coilpaly and most of this nioney will be spent'in Beaufort. It should be mentioned that this comlpany is not in the Coosaw "Trust." It is rumored in certain sections that there is no such thing as the trust men tioned in a special from here sonie days ago, but that a pool had been formed by the several river rock mining conpa nies. This impression is true that nearly all the rock mined in this coun tV is sold in Europe, but no pool has been formed ill order to protect the price of rock. The Coosaw Mining Company, the Sea Island Chemical Company and the Oak Point Mining Company have formed a trust and have one supreme superintendent, who is lord of all he surveys. If the Sea Island Chemical Company or the Oak Point Mining Company want a pound of rope they cannot get it without it being ordered by the chief of the "trust." It should be remembered that the Coosaw Mining Company is the only phosphate company in this State that has any exclusive rights, and the char ter giving them th:I special right will expire in a short time and theirchances of getting any other exclusive rights are very doubtful. It is stated by sone of the ph,sphlate inen, not in the Coo saw Trust, that the only reason why the Coosaw Company sought to form a trust was with the view of being able to say to the next Legislature, that now we are all under the same management, grant us exclusive rights to as many miles of river bed for such a number of years and we will pay such a sum of money for it that the State can say to other parties, we do not want you to dredge any more rock; we can do as we please with with our own property. Just how much of this may be true one cannot say, but at any rate it is quite reasonable to suppose that such is the idea of those interested in the "trust scheme." On the other hand, it is not very like ly that the Coosaw Trust will get any of the other companies into their scheme, and they will have rather a hard job to down all of the companies now controlling their own business. The Farmers' Phosphate Company is as strong alone as all of the trust coin panies, and it is a well-known fact that they will not go with them. The Phos phate Mlining Company (the Brother hood Comipany) will not go into the trust as long as Mr. F. Brotherhood can keep them out. Mr. Brotherhood is now in London in the interest of his company. The Beaufort Phosphate Company will never join the trust as long as they exist. When they cannot run any longe- and control their own business they will tie up their mach in ry and await the ftuture. The Port Royal Minling Company will not be able to begin work until after Janluary 1, 1889, since their failure to obtain a licenise from the State board of agriculture. This is a great hardship to this company, as they had purchased a dredge and tug boat at considerable expense.
