EDNESDA Y, DECEMBS? 14. Oar State Contemporaries. The Farmer's Convention. Prosperity Press. The second aonoal Convention of the Farmers' Association of this State, which convened ia Agrbultaral Hal!, Columbia, S. C.. December 1st, 1887, was one of the most pleasant roeetiogs ever held by the farmers. Harmony ; prevailed throughout the sessions, con? sequently business was transacted with jdispatcfc.jj . The unanimity of spirit which per? vaded this meeting was a genuine snr >p?8e,to - those opposers of the Farmers' Movement who anxiously desired, and looked forward to, a discordant time when the Convention assembled. The failure to have their hopes realized has carried confusion i a to the ranks of the i opjwsttion, and various reasons are be- j ing given for such failure. Some ar- j gue that Capt. Tillman has lost his j grip, and that the *'bottom has drop ped-oot. of the Farmers' Movement." Others, of a more fearful turn of mind, are. of the opinion that "still water runs deep,39 and that the marked - har? mony which characterized the acts of the members of the Convention betokens increased strength. f? The. action of the Convention has put the farmers in good shape before the public, and now is the time for the -5?o?Bty Organizers to actively carry out >.Jbeju:.p}ans. . Anderson Intelligencer. The Farmers' Convention met in Co? lumbia last week. Its effect upon legis? lation is not likely to be very great. ... The Bill- to reorganize the Department of Agriculture by increasing it to ten J /members, and permitting it to elect the j '"Commissioner of Agriculture, was, on j %?:Aotioa of Senator M array,, made the : special order for Wednesday. It has, j probably, with some amendments, been l passed by* the Senate, and will become j - a law. The Bili to establish an Agri- I cultural College will hardly pass this j session. The trustees of the South karolina University want to eularge the University and give it an efficient agri? cultural department. It is very uncer? tain as to what will be the result of this -educational conflict, as there are no means of forecasting the result of the - vote in either House on these issues. An Important Bill? Edgefidd Advertiser. " One of the most important bills in? troduced at this session of the Legisla? ture, is one by Maj. Ernest Gary, mak? ing municipalities liable for damages, * arising from accidents by reason of de * feetive bridges, streets, causeways, etc. I Up.to the present time, it seems there r was no way of recovering money on a "judgment for or against a town? except * by special act of Legislature. Pickens Sentinel. What is the use to investigate the i financial affairs of Clarendon county? 'What is the matter with the Grandit ^Tury 1 They caa employ an expert and ' ?x that little business all right. I o C Nearly everbody is moralizing on the J s recent Atlanta el ec ?ion. which promoted - whisky, but no one can find much, if any morality in it. Atlanta worked this n basin ess like she works every thing else, I by rush and storm. Beasoc and right a had small show. The friends and foes 3 of- prohibition were alike imprudent, ? and whatever result would have been for c the best interest of the community-all j fi . went down before a reckless ambition le * which strove above for victory. The I h final result was made sure by the foes of t! prohibition who persisted in violating s and evading it, and by the friends of b prohibition who made nothing more 1 than a sickly effort to enforce it. Bat d by whatever means an election is car- \ .. ried, the graceful and easy submission u 'of the vanquished is commendable. ' c There should be no appeal from elec- t tjons, even if the contest is between ls money and morality. The former has s <<be sway in Atlanta, and it was entitled d to the victory. "Resignation of Comptroller Gene- a ral Stoney. ' c Columbia Regiiter. g Captain William E. Stoney has ten- * dered his resignation of the o?ce of j f Comptroller General of South Carolina j ? After maDy years of efficient and faith- j fui service, and wincing golden opinions j { from ali sorts of people, Captain Stoney ! g has abdicated his State place to cou-jd suit his interests in another sphere cf I action, it gsve* us p.easure to bear ! s testimony to this citizen's private worth j u and bis public virtues. A graduate j 'v with distiuction of the South Carolina j .Military Academy, young Stoney en jp listed in the late war between the States: i e rendered galiaot service, and sought no j 0 -discharge until Appomattox ended tbe ! ]; .?rama with its tragic aud pathetic i [ . close. Carried by the enterprise of a ! " military character to the distant shores j 1 of the Pacific, he sought to make hi.-, j p : fortunes iu the modern iii Dorado j M Returning to his native State, the exile J } found employment iu the office ot Comp- j f, troller General ilagooJ. under whom j y he bid served in war. and whose coa fi- ?j dence he had wou by ?deiity of service. ! a Taking position as clerk iu the year 1877, he served for five years with such ! j efficiency that he was promoted to the j w office of Comptroller General in 1882. ! w From that period until the present, he j a has been discharging the duties of his j ? , responsible place with such accepta bi I- j h ity as to have won the respect and ad- jj, miration of the State. With soldierly j A vigilance ; with mathematical accuracy ; \ i\ vith painstaking care, he has admin- j istered his office with ao eye sit?le to j tc the public -interest?. Moro may bo I p Said. Ho has mastered the subjects j <t, ttjat came within the scope of his de- j w partaient ; has made valuable sugges- ! j, tious as the basis of legislation-aud. 1 above a.'l, he has impressed his fellow I [, citizens with his incorruptible integrity. : c< He will retire from his office as the sol- j n dier leaves a well-fought ?eld of victory. ! i\ The mature age of William E. Stoney ! answers to the promise cf his young ? manhood. Wa knew him when he j stood with modest bearing upoa the j threshold of life. Iiis aspirations were j S high and his ethics sound. Ile has not j v trodden upon the ideals of his youth, j s? By open means he has risen to station j a of command and well may he retire! si npon his high wou laurels of military j 1 aud civil achievements. ! r; - M Another Game Bird. i ti . Charleston Sun, j ly The latest candidate for en?^tment h among the game birds is the terrapin. ; tl His case is especially urgent, icasmuch J as he is unable to climb a tree and has ? failed to develop speed eveu after a loog process of bunting and training. He has no wings at all and because of his natural infirmities and deficiencies rare? ly enjoys the happiness of getting there all the same. He can be trusted with? out dog, gun, pine torch or bait, and his conservative tendencies make him easy prey, as be usually lives st home and does business at the same old stand. The cooter stands on hts own -merits, and may receive favorable considera? tion without derogation of the claims of his fellow game bird the 'possum. Each has and ably fills his own sphere ; for, while the 'possum is the champion roaster and baker in the cheerful com pauionshii> of browoed sweet potatoes, the cooter naturally runs to soup and is at his best when absorbed by the aid of a silver spoon and with his own flavor mingled with a dash of the best sherry. The 'possum is a democrat, always ready in his season, grateful to a robust appetite and a palate wholesome enough to accept strength ; the cooter is an ar? istocratic bird, whose function it is to awaken the languid stomach to yearn? ing, to give nutriment while passing over a sated tongue with the softness, delicacy and delight of a gastronomic benediction. Let the two go upon the statute books hand in hand as game ; let us cherish them both as types of our coun? try, our climate and our institutions, which offer happiness to men of all classes and gratification for every hon? est taste and righteous ambition.

Dear Chronicle : As delegates from t the Edgefield Baptist Church, Mr. 1 Arthur S- Tompkins and your corres- < pondent attended the State Baptist Con- I vention ia Sumter, the capital of the ? deservedly noble 'Game Cock County.' s Here we met Dr. Bailey, and Dr. s Griffith, old acquaintances of the As- f sociaticn, sod saw the venerable Dr. c Furman, and Dr. Ticbencr, one of my i acquaintances of days gone by. Busi- I ness was transacted with a sufficient ? amount of zeal and energy. Over f $13.000 was pledged to Farman Uni- t versity as endowment. The Conven- c tion really ended to-day. but has ? h formal ending to-morrow, when every t pulpit in this place will be Siled by t; Baptist Mioisters. We saw also a min- I ister friend from China, who talked as s if reading from Macaulay. And there b ;oo was Miss Pack, a blind lady from j d Darlington, who sings sweetly and gives fi ?oncerts.

AUiiU Iii ri* w. i On'Friday last as Mr John Johnson, j r., and his wife were returning from a i:i isit to their brother. Mr. Isaac John- j .!? )0, who has since died, they met wira ?h shocking accident that has since re ikeU ia the death of Mrs.. Johnson, of 'he accident happened near Mrs. liar- lb et Kitebings, iu Tabernacle township, iii hey bad just passed her house when Uv jey met Freddie Holmes, nephew of vi lr. Alfred Holmes, who was riding a ry orse Freddie attempted to get out of m ie road, but the frout wheel of Mr. it. obnson's baggy caught the horse in ai tbe flank which caused him to com down on the wheel, crushing it to th ground. The noise occasioned by thi collision frightened the mule drawin the buggy and it immediately starte off-running about fifty yardi-when i stopped and commenced kicking. Mr Jonnson was thrown out of the buggy getting his arm broken and sustainiu, injuries. The mule dragged the bugg some distauce further, kicking as i went, until stopped by Mr. Jas. Kitch ing, who was at the mill and witnesses the accident. When he got to th' buggy he found the mule standing witl one foot through the dash, and Mrs Johnson lying insensible in the roa< twenty yards behind, having been kick ed in the forehead. She was careful!; picked up and conveyed to the residena of Mrs Kttching, Doctor A. L. Hatti was summoned, and everything tha could be done for her relief was done The Doctor after examining her injune said there was no hope as her skull ha( been fractured. This happened abeu four o'clock on Friday afternoon and a ten o'clock on Saturday this poor un fortunate lady was a corpse. Bloody Crime in Darlington News comes from Lydia, in this county of a bloody tragedy enacted near there, on the Nahem Galloway place, on Wednesday afternoon of lasl week. Fred Edwards, colored, re aiding on the premises mentioned, was punishing one of his children foi i trivia^offence, when his wife re? monstrated in the child's behalf. A quarrel ensued, and Edwards knocked tis wife down and beat her and chok ?d her unmercifully. While doing so lis son John, aged about 18 years oi ige, interfered and begged his father 0 desist. Edwards threw an axe at tis son, barely missing him, and pro? ceeded with the brutal punishment of :is wife. The son ran into the house md grabbed a gun, loaded with slugs md pieces of iron for the purpose of ?hooting hawks, and commanded his atherto desist from choking his moth :r. A daughter was at the time also nterferihg in behalf of her mother. Edwards paid no heed, and his son ired. Father, mother and daughter ell, each havirfg received a part of he contents of the gun in the region f the bowels. The mother died in alf an hour afterwards. The daugh er is so dangerously wounded that here is little hope of her recovery. Jnfortunately, the father, who de erved to receive the whole load, was ut slightly wounded Before 6he ied the mother exonerated her son ?om all blame. Tiial Justice D. G. Du Bose im pan led a jury and held an inquest over ie dead body of the woman. The erdict of the jury was in accordance 'Uh the above facts. Young Ed rards was sent to Darlington and >dged in jail. A letter from Lamar, received late esierday afterday, says : There was a serious difficulty near iis place on Tuesday afternoon, he trouble occurred at the piania on of Mr. W. <L Windham between ie later and a negro named Boyd ierce, who was living upon his ace. It grew out of the negro dis iting his account. A few words , issed between them, when the negro eked up a piece of 6cantling and ruck Mr. Windham on the head, ttting a gash about two inches Jong the s.kuli bone." The wounded man as brought here to Dr. J. A. Cole, bo dressed the wound. The doctor j onounced the wound not dangerous. ! ?Funner Friend ---j ^.n Important Case Settled.

A young lady of Newberry who was at the late fair but who did not take in the situation described, received the following spicy analysis from a gallant young biped. She enjoyed the ridicu? lous analysis of ber sex very much, and gave us a copy for publication : I have heard it said that woman is a compound being, made up equally of the angel and mule. I have been dis? posed to accept the qualitative if not the quantitative statement. My mind was never clear as to which predomi? nated-the angelic or themulic! Of course I am now speaking of the aver? age, and, as a genera), rule, I know there are many exceptions both ways. But since attending the fair, I am dis? posed to modify my opinion, by think? ing she is a very much of a duck ; for I never saw that fowl take more kindly to a mud puddle than she did on the aforesaid occasion. I mused myself for an hour or more, watching them enter the grounds ; they would begin picking their way very gingerly, from one tuft of grass to another; then balancing themselves gracefully on a pebble or a chance bit Of wood, (this would last for the space of five minutes,) when they would be? gin tiptoeing through the firmest mud. At the end of the next five minutes they would be walking flat-footed into the deepest mud-hole, as coolly as any duck in the land-so my analysis stands about this : in fair weither-angel 50 parts, mule 40, duck 10-100." At state fair, raining-duck 75, parts, mule 20, angel a trace, earthly soluble 5-100. Under most favorable circumstances, I think about equal parts angel, duck and mule, would be the happy medium. -Prosperity Reporter. O'Connor is headquarters for Santa Claus.
