The labor organizations of New
York, however they may disagree as j
to other matters, are coming to the
support of Mr. Henry George for
mayor with a degree of acquiescence
approaching unanimity. How Mr.
George would succeed in managing a

great executive trust can only be a
matter of speculation until he has had ,
a chance to make the trial; but in intellectual
force there is not one of the
labor leaders who approaches him.
Wiggins, the Canadian prophet, has j
predicted dire results from an earth
quake, which, according to Ijdm, will ;
occur obout the 29th of this month.
Wiggins is a crank of the first water.
No man can foretell an earthquake
nor even approximate its occurrence.
He made his prediction, knewing that
be could sell it to the papers on account
of the recent disturbance. Xo
one should be disturbed by his talk.
It will not come, and if it does, Prof.
Wiggins certainly knew nothing about
it.
The Chinese are retaliating upon J
Americans for their treatment of Chi- j
nese in this country. Several outrages j
have been committed upon American
citizens in China recently. The cry of
the Pacific coast American is, "The
Chinese must go;" so the Chinese
echo, "The foreign devils must go."
We may get mad and demand satisfaction,
but the fact remains that the
Chinaman has not received fair treatment
in this country, and we could
hardly expect anything else for the
Americans in China.

Among the various reasons brought
forward by the advocates of woman's
rights, for the conferring of the right
of ballot upon women, is that women
will vote for prohibition. Everybody
thought this was a fact until the recent
election in Washington Territory disproved
it. In that election the women
were nearly equally divided on "whis
key" or "no whiskey." Having the
power to vote in that Territory it was
expected that they would come forward
in their might and forever down
whiskey. Bat they didn't do it. The
advocates must seek some other argument
to further their cause.

Cleveland and Frances Folsom states

make 10 times 7, the average age of
the two o times 7, and the one multiplied
by the other, 147 times 7; but it
would hardly affect the amount of

During the past vear there has been
much discussion regarding the negro,
his labor and his rights in the South.

The following comment has been
made by one of the Presidential party
as to the ability ot the Chief Magis- j
trate and his bride to engage in hunt-;
ing and fishing excursions:

missed a shot. He is iust as rnnl and !

erman, and few can handle the rod or i

An* attempt was recently made to |

cality in the law they were released i
and went on their way rejoicing. !
This Mormon business is one of the j
foulest sores upon the body politic, !
and it is one that it seems we can j
never cure. All religions are guar-;
anteed bv the Constitution, but when- j
ever any system goes beyond common
morality, it ceases to be a religion, and
should be unceremoniously stopped.
Mormonism is just in this fix, and all !
efforts should be exerted by honest, j
Virtuous Ciuzens ?Wj) II,
as it is a system which makes every
effort to proselyte. They have operated
among the ignorant of this State
with some success, and every patriotic
citizen will strive to secure the day
when it shall be wiped from the face
of the earth.
A leading exchange says: "ExPresident
Arthur seems to -have de
rived some benefit from his stay at
New London. Mr. Sherman W.
Knevals spent last Sunday with him.
He says that Mr. Arthur's health is
certainly no worse, and probably a
little better, than when it was when
he left Xew York. While he has lost
flesh and is confined to the house most
of the time, his appearance would
scarcely lead one to think him a sick
man. Ilis color is good, he sleeps
well, has a good appetite, is in cneerful
spirits, and keeps up his interest in
affairs in general. It is improbable
that he will pay any attention to business
for some time to come, certainly
not during next winter. His friends
believe that he is in no immediate
danger, though the exact nature of his
illness is, even to them, somewhat of
a mvstsry."
A leading New York daily says*
"If there is tiny cloud anywhere in
the financial sky it manages very thoroughly
to hide itself. There has been
no hint of it in the week past. Trade
is booming; merchants are crowded

every man who wants work has it,
and every dollar not locked up is
showing an earning power. The
farmers of the West and the South
have crops that pay for the first time
in years; the railroads in'all their history
have never been exiled upon to
handle such vast traffic. Illustrations
of the increased earnings of the railroads
of the country were given last
week. The same state of things continues,
with the one difference that the
percentage of increase is even larger
now than then. The result is unprecedented.
The prosperity betokened

A T^wnncc exchange ? "The
next war in Europe, come when it
may, and it may begin any hour, will
be of a destructive violence unknown
up to this day. Every source of revenue
has been strained, if not drained,
for the martial effect. It would be
idle to say that the world has not yet
seen the like, because never'before has
it had such destructive warlike means.
j^urupe is a great military uauip. xlic
chief Powers are armed to the teeth.
It is the combination of general effort.
It is not for parade or amusement.
Enormous armies in the highest condition
of discipline are armed to perfection,
leaning on their muskets or
bridle in hand, are waiting in camp
and field for the signal to march against
each other. A war in Europe settles
only one thing definitely, and that is
the necessity for auother war. The
approaching war may do more?it
may settle those who are chiefly en
gaged in it. Tiie amoition ox Kings
and emperors may thus lead in the
end to their own overthrow and open
the way for popular progress."
The Washington Star says that it
is reported that Secretary Manning
will go as minister to Austria instead
of returning to the treasury department.
lie has not fully recovered
from his recent illness, and it is feared
that to again undertake the duties of
the* treasury department would be
more than he could stand. It is
thought that a sojourn in Austria
would be very bencficial to his health,
particularly as he would spend most
of his time at Ilalle or Franzensbad,
the famous health resorts which arc
frequently visited by the crowned
heads of Europe with benefit. Mr.
Manning's physician, it is said, thinks
he would recover his health quicker
there than anywhere else, and the
President has decided to make the appointment.
A hint as to the appointment
is said to have been made to
Austria, and it was received wilh
great favor. Mr. Manning is sure to
be received with high distinction, both
socially and officially, and the Austrian
Government will be highly
pleased with the appointment. Tains
would be made to make up attentions
to him for the rejection of Mr. Iveilev.
The report has not been confimed.
Judge Cotliian.
From the latent telegraphic dispatches
Judge Cothran has been elcct
eel to Congress from his district by a
most decided majority over all other
candidates. Judge Cothran has not
made a personal canvass of his district
?he has not solicited the votes of the
people. His friends brought him out
for the position and he has swept
everything before him.
In going to Congress, the people
have gained an excellent representasenlative?one
who wiil always look
to the best interests of his native State.
His opponents were men of sterling |
qualities, who have alwavs served the j
State in her time of trouble. It is no j
disparagement to these gentlemen to 1
have been defeated by such a man. I

any man in the State. In his new j

At a meeting of the Thurinan Club ! t

in Cincinnati, in response to a call, 1 '
ex-Senator Thurman spoke as follows: *
My Young Friends: When I was a j

forth in the most beautiful and im- ,;

A Denial of the Charge that the Trustees
are "Wasting the Farmers' Money.
TrrJi'fnv s As :t trnnd m.'inv
misstatements have been recently made
regarding the agricultural department
of the South Carolina College, I ask
permission to give some idea of its
scope and its work. My reason for
doing so is the absence from the State
of others better qualified than myself
for the task. I shall speak only of
what has been done, s'nee the work of
the past has been al. .ged as proof of
in f Vi o "fnf n .?a
Sincc 1S82 there have been the following
scientific chairs in the College:
1. Agriculture and Botany, under
President McBride, whose work as a
scientific experimentalist has attracted j
attention in Europe as well as in j
Atnei ica.
2. Geology, Physiology, Zoology, :
etc., under Professor Woodrow, who !
has few equals as a scientist in the
country.
3. Mathematics* pure and applied,
i under Professor Sloan,a (.llslin^uishcil
graduate of West Point and a most
thorough instructor.
4. Chemistry, Mineralogy, etc., under
Professor Burnev, a Pi). D. of
Heidelberg, tinder Bunsen, ;i student
of Paris, under Wurtz, and a fellow
of Johns Hopkins. These gentlemen
are competent to give instruction of
the most thorough'kind. (Hereafter .
there will be two more professors, Dr.
Loughridge in agriculture, and Jtngiiieer
McElroy, of the United States
Xavv, who has equipped a school of
practical mechanics, including lathework,
planing, wood-work, iron-work,
etc.)
There arc in the entire College five
four-year courses and as many twoyear
courses. In cacli of these cliemistrv,
botany, physics and Physiology
have been taught, while geology and
astronomy also enter into the longer
courses. In three long courses and
three short courses the study of agricultare
is compulsory for one year,
while in the technical agricultnaal
course it is compulsory for two years,
and agricultural chemistry for one
more. In most of the Agricultural
Colleges agriculture is taught one year;
in the Mississippi College one year and
a third. The South Carolina College
therefore is more complete in this respect
than many others.
Since the reorganization of the College
in 1882 an average of forty-three
students a year have pursued the year's
crtni-co in n?rrifnltnrf>
What does the study of agricultme
proper include? During the first year
the following topics are discussed:
Soils, organic and inorganic manures,
grasses aud clovers, meadows and pastures,
crops, rotation of crops, weeds
noxious and innocuous, improvement
of soils, farm implements and machinery,
farm roads and buildings, domestic
animals, etc. Second year?the students
having been drilled in theoretical
chemistry are put into the laboratory
for work. Lectures are given on
the chemical constituents of manures,
theory of the action of manures and
best methods of application, classification
and improvement of soils, principles
of breeding stock and feeding,
laws of plant life and growth, analysis
of soils, fertilizers, etc.
The following are specimens of the j
kinds of practice problems tnat nave
been given out to the class from time
to time:
1. '*At the present cost per ton of
dried blood, cotton seed meal, stable :
manure, nitrate of soda, etc., find;
Tvhich is cheapest in proportion to the !
amount of nitrogen supplied."
2. "Given the market value of nitro- j
gen, phosphoric, acid, etc., analyse I
fertilizer, and determine its |
market price per ton."
3. Two years ago when Furman's |
formula was published the class was i
required to calculate the market value i
of a ton of his compost.
?. A company having offered to exchange
1,000 pounds of cotton seed
meal for one ton 'of seed, the class
made a comparison of values and
found that the offer was advantageous, j
5. Another published offer was to
give 3 tons of acid phosphate, 2 tons
of cotton seed meal and 1 ton of kainit j
for 12 tons of cotton seed. Calculation
showed that under the first table i
ol values used in South Carolina the
offer was not advantageous, but that
under the table now ruling in this
A-*utrtAi* nrAnl/1 rroin Kt' tlia !

exchange.
G. "Ill what proportions must cotton
seed meal, peavinesand oats straw
be fed together to a fattening ox to
secure most economical results?"
Such problems as the last are based

German v. showing the relative amounts i

>f albuminoids, fats and carbohylrai.es
required to keep live stock at
est, or at work, or fattening.
The lull course of chemistry lasts
'our years, and includes quantitative
Dialysis of soils, fertilizers, etc. A
iiudent has stepped from the laboraorv
right into a good position in the
)fFice of a leading chemist in Charlesou.
Others have made analyses for
"prtiHyfM- fnmiviitins nwl nov
'or them. This is an evidence of good
vork.
]>otany is much neglected in the
south, but in the College it is made
>ractical. Daring the latter part of
lie course, the student is required to
malysc and name unknown plants and
veed>. Some students have made
several hundred analyses each, and are
jood practical botanists.
The analysis ot seeds is also required.
?o many seeds are adulterated nowa
lays ttiac it is very important to test
he purity of the sample in order to
cuow how much to plant to the acre.
But I cannot elaborate further.
Besides class room work President
McBryde has conducted on an average
)ne hundred and fifty experiments a
pear in cotton, grains, grasses, &c.
Much material has been accumulated,
but in order to secure accuracy, he
t?as preferred to wait for the results of
three years continued experiments in
iluplicate, changing the plots each
rear to get rid of any effect from dif
tereiice in soil, ?fcc.
In cotton, for instance, every plot is
measured mathematically?two plots
ire given to cach kind of seed. The
number of plants are counted, allowance
is made for missing hil}s, the average
is then corrected and compared
for several years, and the general average
is thus secured.
I will merely mention that a three
gears'series of experiments in cotton
shows that one well-known brand has
uniformly showed a superior yield of
lint, averaging about forty pounds of
lint for every fifteen hundred pounds
-A* .1 * _ _ f 1 -1 3
[>i seeci. u.i a crop oi six nuuurea
thousand bales in this State this would
make a gain of forty-eight thousand
bales over the yield of other seed,
which, at nine cents, would give an
increased value of two million dollars
a, year to the cotton product of the
State.
The above is some of the work President
McBryde has been doing, although
not a cent has been given to
him for experimentation. lie has to
eke out a small sum by reducing other
expenses. He has been making bricks
and supplying his own straw.
Last year, despite the drought, the
farm averaged nearly a bale to the acre.
The Legislature, last year, refused
to give $2,000 to equip the experimental
farm. Give President McBryde a
few thousand dollars and he will accomplish
results that will attract wiob
spread attention, and greatly improve
farming.
Some of the most captious critics of
the agricultural department of the College
are those who have persistently
neglected or refused to accept invitations
to inspect its work.
When the Farmers' Convention met
in Columbia in April the president of
the College extended an invitation to
the members to visit the institution
and farm and see the work. The plats
were all labeled. Persons were on
hand to answer all questions. Yet. so
far as I can learn, no one who denounced
the College took the trouble
to walk half a mile to satisfy himself
t hat his charge was just.
1 say it not in spirit of boasting", but
as merely a fact, that I know of no opponent
of the College who speaks from
personal observation, nor do I know
any one who, having made an examination,
has failed to mention it in
terms of commendation.. le__
In a few weeks the College will be
open. I know that President McBrydc
will be most happy to welcome every
visitor from Fairfield, and more especially
a committee of inspection, appointed
by the Farmers' Association
of Fairfield county.
I hope such a committee will come
and see whether the trustees have so
used the "farmers'" money as to defeat
its objects. Certainly candid and
just men will not censtirc without
knowledge. Very truly,

A REJOINDER TO TILLMAN*.
Major Ransom Gives His Opinion of tlie
Agricultural Moses.
Columbia, S. C., Sept. 1G, 18SG.
To the Editor of the Sunday News:
Mr. Tillmar. waxes -wrath v. He objects
to "insinuations," "inuendoes,"
&c. Now, what he means by this is
tint I said that a certain statement he
was reported to have made was "untrue"
and "unfair." Those are not
very emphatic words, but to ears
polite they convey no doubtful meaning.
Mr. Tillman is, evidently, by
nature a vcy obstinate man. and his
head is so very hard that lie terms
polite language "insinuations." Now,
I wish to put the same idea in
words that he is in the habit of using
in order to bring their meaning down
to the level of his comprehension.
When he said that Prof. Joyties told
him that the South Carolina College
offered to make the analyses of fertilizers
for the South Carolina department
of agriculture for $5 each, in my
opinion, he lied?1-i-e-d. No insinuation
about that I hope, Benjamin?
When he says that I am "Col. Butlers
clerk, and the tail of the department
of agriculture," he makes the
only truthful statement that I have
ever known him to be guilty of. The
The department of agriculture needs
no defence from one occupying so
humble a position in it as I do, but I
may be permitted to say that Mr.
Tillman has never made a specific
charge of neglect of duty a?ainst this
department that has not been proven
false, and if he will make any more
specific charges of the same character
I will prove that they are also false, or
1 will give up my "potatoes" and advocate
his "principles." Will be do
this? No. He will answer that he is
a poor, persecuted, patriotic citizen,
who is called a liar every time he
says anything for the public good.
And then hejvill go on and say that
the public officials or oouin uaronna
feel themselves above criticism, and
then write a column or two about
nothing in particular and everything
in general, and wind up by claiming
that he has proven everything and
everybody corrupt, except B. R. Tillman,
the sole survivor of the long list
of honorable and patriotic men in
South Carolina.
Mr. Tiilman alludes to our past
friendship. He might have left that
out of his communication, in view of
the fact that he has forgotten all the
courtesies due from gentleman to another,
if he ever knew them. He
might have remembered that no journalist,
in this State has said more complimentary
things of him than 1 have,
and none have been more willing to
aid him in working for the good of the
public. I have given him credit for
honorable and unselfish motives, so
long as I believed he was honorable
and unselfish, and I have criticized him
when I believed otherwise. It is no
"prostitution of my position" to defend
the work of a department in
which I have been engaged for six
years, and which I have hoped had
accomplished some good for the State;
neither was it a "prostitution of my position"
to correct false statements regarding
that work whenever and
wherever made. I have done this,
and this only, and Mr. Tillman's ob
jections will not prevent it in the I
future.
A word of apology to the renders of |
the Sunday Sabs'. .Mr: Tillman's
swaggering bravado dt the conclusion
of his letter is evidence enough to my
mind that when he sees this communication
he will "come back-'* with a
lew columns 01 omingsgate. i regret j
to be the cause of such an infliction
upon your readers, but trust that they j
will forgive me.
As Mr. Tillman lives at a "remote j
distance from railroads," and "only j
gets his mail weekly," ho may not see j
this. Wili you kindly mail him a copy :
of the Sunday Xetvs containisur this
letter, and mark it for me.

1*OST-OFl'ICE A BUSES.
Postmaster General \ lias Determined to j
Correct the Evils, No Matter Who Suf- j
fers Thereby.
Washington, September 23.?The j
investigation into the management of i
the Philadelphia postoffice which is
now proceeding will not be completed
lor at least a week yet The commission,
it is stated here, was instructed
by Postmaster General Vilas to prepare
for Philadelphia a postal service
which will meet all the demands of j
the citizens, and to report the fullest!
facts i? the case, no matter who may ;
be injured thereby. The Postmaster j
f-lonpi'!!! c-iid tliflf nvnvirms nrlminitsfra- 1
tions had made a mark in the way of i
increasing postal facilities, and lie i
proposed to make his administration, |
if possible, a kindly remembrance in
the minds of the business men. The
commission was instructed as one of
its first points to notify Postmaster
llarritv that he inu>t not remove any
more employes unless for cause, or
unless such removal should be recommended
by the commission as a part
of its work. The demoralization in
the Philadelphia office was attributed
to the rapid removals and to the fact
of the uncertainty in the minds of the
employe? of their terms of office, and
the postal authorities thought that if
the men could be assured of retention
the service would be greatly improved.
It is also stated that Mr. Harrity was
advised that if he made any farther
changes and incurred trouble thereby,
lie would do so at his own peril. Information
received here relative to the
inspection is to the effect that many of
the employes of the office have not, as
most naturally would be the case,
given that strict attention to their
duties which they would otherwise
have given had they not expected
momentarily removal. It is also said
that the number of removals made by
Mr. Harrity since he has been in office
will not amount to the figures which j
have been given out semi-officially in
Philadelpia to satisfy the demands of
the Democrats for a sweeping out of
the Republicans.
The report of the commission will
not be ready for at least two or three j
weeks. It is believed they will re- j
commend an increase in the number j
of clerks. In fact this may be set
down as a certainty.
jtir. acotr, cmei 01 me department i
of accounts and allowances, is expect- j
ed to proceed to Philadelphia in a j
few days. The commissioners have j
not yet examined into the monetary j
