ST A X D ASJD-BIIARER5 | FOR PRESIDENT : 'JSOVEB CLEVELAND, Or NEW YOIUC. FOR VICE-PRESIDENT : ALLEN G. TALISMAN, OF OHIO. SOU CONGRESS?FOURTH DISTRICT: W. H. PERKY, of GreenAille. We OziRht to 55eip. Four years ago the Democratic iNauoaai uomauitce issuvu ikn for a papular'subscription of money to defray the necessary and proper expenses of the campaign and the appeal was cot made in vain. At that time the funds of the committee had been ,-educed to the ioweat ebb, aud they had not means to defray their weekly office expenses. Shortly alter the appeal was sent out money began to come in in small sum3 from all directions, so that the committee were enabled to carry forward their work to a triumphant conclusion. The conditions were the same when the committee made its recent appeal to the country. The large subscriptions of a few rich men had been ex hausted by the great demand ior me printing and circulation of documents, and it became necessary to appeal to a wider source of supply. Wo are gratified to state that this appeal has met with a ready response. Subscriptions are flowing in from all parts of the country from people who are not able to give more than one dollar aod some even less. The subscriptionsj however, range all the way from ?1 to $10,000. *lt ia:a cignificent fact tlsai a large part of the contributions come from the workingmen in the North, who CDntribule their mite, accompanied by enthusiastic and encouraging letters. The response to the committee's ap peal hat been both prompt anu lioeraJ, not only on the part of workingmen, but on the part of manufacturers, many of whom understand the true economic principles underlying the present contest. This is a fight of the people against tfie extortions of the monopolists arid trusts, and every man who looks to his own interest [and that of the people generally onght to contribute to the best of his ability in furthering the cause. "VVe, therefore, call upon the people of Fairfield to assist in the work, and to send to Chairman Briec, of the Democratic Campaign Committee, New York city, any contributions they may deem fit to make, and it will be placcd whore it will do the most good. It is now a little over five weeks before the great election occurs. "VVe are, of course, safe in South Carolina, out iftt every man m aoatn uaronna and Fairfield county assist by money in bringing forth the good results of tariiT reform. Specify the Localities. In making any comments on yellow fever tho Northern papers, generally speak of the fever "in the South," thus including the whole geographical area known as the South as being in the infected district. These false statements materially affect the business interests of this portion of the country, for if it is generally reported that yellow fever is in "the South" capitalists will not care to take any risks or make any invest inems 1:1 mis secuon. Newspapers should specify the locality ia which the epidemic prevails and not generally designate it as being prevalent throughout a whole section of country when it Li confined to three States, a.id in these three it is by no means common. So far as imported yellow fever ha* appeared in several towr.siin Florida and only one town each in Alabama and Mississippi. These towns and * sections, while a component part of this section, are by no means "the South." It is, then, unfair for newspapers to speak of the yellow fever in the "South" unless they specify the sections of this part of the country where it has appeared. Geographically the South is composed of all the States j soutn 01 tne rotomac ana unio rivers and three States west of the Mississippi. "Within this vast area there are only three States which have the fever, yet whenever it is referred to, the ??"South" is spoken of. Yellow fever is a torriblc plague, and is one that is calculated to frighten both immigrants, visitors and capitalists, bat it is by no means common in the "Sonth." Mr. Geo. "W. Williams, who has recently been North in the interest of the big hotel in Charleston, represents that the people of the North do not care to invest their money in the South owing to the prevalence of yellow fever "there." It; is also stated that theatrical troupes want to cancel their engagements in the South, among other things, owing to the fact that yellow fever is "there." These straws show which way the wind blows, and we think it the duty of every paper to show promptly where the fever is. not to secure anv i advantage over oar unfortunate bret'n- { ren suffering with the terrible plague, { but simply to show that the South, as j a rule, is as healthy as any other por-! tion of the country.

The j Record says: | The extraordinary percentage of j idlers and of irregular workers among the Southern arises from different causes, most of them patent to careful observers of the course of things since the negro got his freedom. "In the view of the average negro his freedom had neither form nor substance so long a? it was not asserted by an actual severance of the relation of master and servant. Without regard to his own interests or to his own moral obligation to the employer who had treated him fairly, he felt bound to parade his freedom by quitting one man to work for another. Having made one change, it soon became the habit of his life to stay but a short time in any one employment. These constant changes have impaired the efficiency of the colored man's labor br causing him to be a mere hireling? with no aspiration higher than the wish to earn a bare subsistence with as little work as possible. That subsistence being attainable by comparatively little work, it has been by very easy stages that the negroes sloth has degenerated into idleness. Not that all negroes, in the farming dis tricts, are idle?110 sane man would advance so absurd a proposition. Bnt the percentage of positive idlersjis great, for the reason that the negroes who work are somehow always willing to give food and shelter to those who do nothing. On well-nigh every farm in South Carolina there arc constant sqnatters for the time beingable-bodied fellows who go from place to place, or even stay on one place, d-jing just so little work as may serve to get them the little that they wish. If necessity become too pressing, theft is an expedient always easy?and in most cases very difficult of detection; ^ Nobody can deny that this>s{ate of things is injurious?indeed gradually ruinous?to everySinterest affected by negro labor. The negro himself is perhaps, as he clearly deserves t'eCbe, the great^lt sufferer. There is hence a great responsibility resting upon those who aspire to be the connselor.s qf the negro in the ^mattersfetbat affeci? his interests?Tjis teachers and his pieachers. These can accomplish much for the colored race by disabusing the aegro of his false "notions of independence, and by showing him that he is indeed a poor ambition which is satisfied with a bare living from day to day. 'IT1 Aoout eourc ssessiicasAn intelligent juror, in talking about the hardships imposed upon farmers in having to attend Court this session, thought that if possible some change ought to be' made, for as the matter stands at present the farmers arc called off to Winnsboro at the most important season of the year, a season when all their attention is needed on the farm. The juror referred to. said it was peculiarly hard on the farmers this year, from the fact I hat for a month prior to Court they could do nothing on account of the rains, and just as the gracious rays of the sun appeared they were called oil to attend Court, much to the detriment of their business. Not being sufficiently informed in the matter we cannot express any opinion as to the feasibility of changing the time of holding onr Courts, but we do think if it be possible onr Court hhonkl be held at some season when both farmer and merchant could attend to his bonnden duty in the matter without serious loss to his business. It is hard at any time for any man in business to leave it and attend Court, but it is a matter that must be considered in order taat justice may be meted to all, and it seems to us that more convenient seasons might be inaugurated. If thoso "who have the matter of naming the time of holding Courts could by any means appoint tiie times best suited to the business interests of the county affected it ought to be done. But as we said previously we are not familiar enough with the subjeet to discuss it at length, and we simply throw out the ideas suggested by the juror to those who have the power in the premises. Tarl ff .Reform. The Philadelphia Times, one of the most conservative and independent papers in the country, has been getting views from prominent mnnufacturers of the effect tariff reduction would have upou the manufacturing intesests in this country. The woolen manufacturers, among whom are Bui I lock, Khodes and Singerly, cacn large manufacturers in Pennsylvania, say that their mills cannot be profitably run without free wool. Other gentlemen of reputation were interviewed and they all express the opiuion that j tarifi' reduction ought to be consum[ mated. The Times, in commenting upon the re3Hlt of these interviews, jsays: Docs Mr. Singerly seek to destroy | his halt million woolen mill to serve a party purpose? Do Messrs. Drexel, : Bullock, Dobson and Khoades testify against the mistaken policy of their party from any other motives than a sincere desire to prosper industry and protect labor? A large majority of the wool consumed in this country is imported from foreign countries either in raw materials or in manufactured goods, and even under the high tariff tax of 41 per cent, to protect wool, the wool iiiflnctrr r?rv?'?rii 11 cr in older States. The battle for free raw materials used by our general productive industries is the great battle for the disenthralmeut of the workingmen of the country. It is a battle for enlarging our products; for enlarging the demand for labor; for enlarging wages by increased demand for workingmen; for reduction of the cost of the necessaries of life, and for cheapening our American goods to home consumers and competing in foreign markets. Is this not the battle of labor? If it is, let labo;.' calmly consider, fully understand a:id vote honestlv for itself. Bucklon's Arnica Salve.

The recent disasters to the railroads ! from freshets in the Broad and Saluda ! rivers are telling arguments in favor ! of the cxteniion of the proposed raili road from Fish Dam to Winnsboro. j The only outlet at present lrom the j northeastern part of the State to | Columbia and points South is by.inoans ; of the track between Alston and j Columbia.- While this is safe and ; pleasant 02: ordinary occasions it has ! been utterly unable to withstand ; heavy floods. Sherman's freshet dei prived that arch barn-burner and rail| roadsinasker of the pleasure of destroying that part of the railroad in 18G5. In 1866 mauy washouts occurred, and during the past mouth I travel was impeded almost two weeks, j to the great inconvenience of visitors to and from the mountains, and to those needing freights. Persons living | in Walhalla and Greenville were coin pelled to go to Columbia by way of Charlotte, losing time aud money by so doing. i A railroad from Fish Dam to Winusboro would be always reliable after j crossing Broad River. It would be a ! much more convenient route than that by Charlotte in case of floods, and it would pass through a country that ought to be able to sustain it. Fairfield needs one or two railroads running across the couutv, and this place might become a part of a great trunk Hue. "While! not advocating reckless railroad building, we believe that at least one cross road would bo a benefit to Fairfield and to Winneboro. The Outlook. The Mupwuinps who so enthusiastically supported Cleveland in 1881 itf New York have been inclined to kick >over the renomination of Governor Hill. While supporting Cleveland the Mugwumps and their journals have been inclined to oppose Governor Hill. The New York Star, however, says the opposition to Governor Hill is breaking down of its own weight. Even should the Mugwumpian journals oppose Hill they will support Cleveland and use all their influence lu promoting his election, and there is positively no doubt about Democratic success in that State. From Connecticut, Indiana, New Jersey and California equally encouraging reports of Democratic success are given. It looks like Cleveland and tariff reform are certain. Republicans are moving heaven and earth in their endeavor to defeat Roger Q. Mills' return to Congress, and are using the Prohibition and some of the Granger vote to do so. It is inconceivable that any farmer should oppose a man who has done so much to reduce the tariff, and a district that will not re-elect a man who is leader of the House ot' Representatives is not fit to have any Congressman at all. Mr. Mills, wc trust, will be re-elected triumphantly. It may not generally be known that Roger Quay Mills was born on the T>oraer ITncrbetweeh Chester aud Fairfield, and that he married a near relative of the late Abraui Jonc?, of Longtown. Something good ahvay9 comes out of Fairfield, and that explains why Mr. Mills is such an able man. The people of Fairfield should take a still greater interest in him. The outside public may gain some faint idea of the great political battle that is being waged in Indiana when it is learned that the Democracy has 2,500 local speakers throughout the State, who have already canvassed their own counties and are now exchanging with adjoining counties. The majority" of this army of orators are assigned for speeches every night in the week for two or three weeks in the near future when new assignments will be made. The list of local speakers on the books of the State Repub ?t? nrst luif liUill AO live Wiiij'ix/iv) M %?? at least 1,500 are listed, which is an average of nearly fifteen for each county in the State. At the approaching general election the proposed amendment to the Constitution making the office of School Commissioner appointive or elective will be voted upon. As the matter stands at present it seems to us that it makes little difference, for the candidal es already in a large majority of the counties submit their claims to the primary like other officers. "We suppose it will always be thus whether the office is elective or appointive.

President und Members of MoniiccUo Alliance: I:ve been inibniu-c' liiat at a late meeting of our Alliance you expressed a desire that I shouM say something about renovating exhausted lands. This is one of the important of the } many problems that confront as for so- } i at ion. The impoverished condition or our lands is the great obstacle io agricaltural succes?. It is creditable to your discrimination, that you have given precedence to this subject in the discussion of our affairs, but I'm at a loss to comprehend why you have honored me in the selection of a leader in ii. I approach the subject with uc- i most diffidence, but 1 yield to a sense I of the duty incumbent upon each mem- j bcr, to contribute his full quota of j thoughts, actions and materials to advance the best interests of our organization, and ask your indulgence while I submit a few thoughts. Speculations of this character arc a labor of love i with me. It is interesting, even in imagination, to contemplate productive fields taking the place of the unsightly, scarred, and gullied areas that now disfigure these beautiful hills, and re proach our profound mismanagement, Practical achievement in thi3 "department of agricultural economy, partakes of a similitude to the creative faculty, but these barren hills admonishes that there must be no dalliance in the attempt. TVe face the stern fact that we must adopt a better method of farming or sink into greater depths of prostrate dependence. Men now live whose lives run back to the time wheu continuous forests of first growth, interrupted here and there by narrow clearings, shaded and adorned a soil of generous fertility that was spread deeply over theso same hills. "What has caused the change? This question meets us on the very threshold of a practical consideration of the subject, and mus>/ be auswered ifwe wish to avoid the mistakes of our predecessors and correct our own. Briefly I would say there were several causes, some of them still active: 1. The institution of slavery. 2. The culture of cotton. 3. The loose, friable character of our soils, i. The cheap, rich lands of the West and Southwest. These four causes cooperate without a jar to wrest from their predecessors their rich heritage. The landlord having his slaves was not troubled by the question, "How shall I clear and cultivate new fields?" This, coupled with fhp pvictfiiini* of fhe rich lands of the Southwest, developed a habit of regarding fertility of the soil here as so much capital that would be most profitably utilized and exhausted in the cultivation of cotton, convertible into money with which to buy a rich plantation in the Mississippi valley. Hence the policy of cur most energetic and successful planters was to clear new fields and get all there was in them by an uninterrupted succession of cotton crops. This process of exhaustion was facilitated by the loose, light soils, the frequent and long continued stirrings requisite in the tillage of cotton, and the steepness of our hillsides exposed to the denuding effects of the torrents of rain during the summer months. The result of this policy is our heritage, and kuowing these things and living under conditions that exact the practice of the closest economy, have we improved on the methods of the past? On the con-1 Ain-e ?vo TT-*"- Tr-nrsc "\frwp uai r VUtO (*?V A vuti; rv v? vv. than half the arable lauds, by the tenant system, are managed and con. .trolled by tbe negroes. A thHiii<-i^guishing existence by aid of the lien law, through the twenty-three weary years since the surrender. Piles of debt, secured by mortgages on land that wonld scarcely bring two dollars per acre at forced sale, are the result. It is quite clear then, we are discussing this subject none too soon. Too late I fear for many of us, for now creditors have to be consulted who may not concede the time required to inaogurate a change, but if they should, still there would naturally be a shrinkage from the increase of debt, necessarily exacted by the exigencies of the change, for instance, in the purchase of stock, the construction of fences, barns, etc., since it is manifest that stock raising must go hand in hand with farming if we wish to teach the best results. But supposing all such difficulties overcome, ana one snoam consult me relative to the adoption of some better method of farming, I should reply by an illustration: Take for example a 300 acre tract. Surround the whole, and divide by two cross fences into four equal" parts, reserving oue-fifth of the whole as a nursery for timber, this reservation being made, if practicable, in equal parts in the adjacent angles of Uin four divisions. This would leave GO acres in each of the four parts to be devoted to cultivation. Designate these fields respectively A, B, (J, D. Operations begin, we will say, in 1889. Iu A plant 25 acres of cotton, '30 zeros of corn; B rest, or better still, broadcast with peas to be turned under in the fall; C sow in wheat, oats and rye; D pasture. In 1890 A having been sown in previous fall, devote to pas tare B iifgrahl, C broadcast with peas; D in corn and cotton, divided as in '89. In 1891 A broadcast with peas; B in corn and cotton; C grain; D sown with rye and pastured. In 1892 A in in grain; B sown with rye and pastured; corn and cotton in C, D, broadcast with peas. And so continue to rotate, observing to fall sow the cultivated field in rye for winter grazing and for a pasture the ensuing year; and to sow with grain the field devoted to peas, which after, harvest, may supplement the pasture, doubling the grazing area during the dry months of the year. Eight or ten milch cows, fifty sheep and four brood mares, raising two colts annually, can be kept on a placc of this size. A tract of a greater or less extent may be treated in the same manner, always reserving not less than one-fifth as a nursery for timber. Of course the cultivated fields will be smaller or larger according to the extent of the tract. But no plan for renovating lands is complete that does not provide some mode for retaining j the soil on the hillsides. My own observation and experience convince me that terracing is preferable to ditches, especially when combined with rotation, which in itself largely arrests the rr?T. caused by Ihe storms of rain. A simple and effective terrace is made by making with the plow horizontal lines finished in the manner we plough out a cotton middle on the hillsides successively from bottom to top, each about three feet in perpendicular height above the one below. Place a line ofpoles, (pine will do) not less than five or six inches in diameter at the larger end, the smaller end lapping about one foot on the larger end of the adjoining pole in these farrows. Then ran a fax-row on the upper side of the line of pole?. The gullies and washes intersected by the terraces should, at each place of intersection, be filled with pine bnsh, so that the line of \ poles may l>e extended wituour inter- ; rnptiou 011 the top of the9e brush dams f Those who have not tested them will probably be surprised at the effectivelies of such terraces from the very outset Iu connection with a system of rotation they almost completely ar- \ rest the u-niai.ei caused 0:i hilsides by the washing rain?-. lam persuaded a lew years 0f diligent adherence to some plan of this kind would show not only larger cr0p yields, but richer lands, and relegate the purchase of coramcrmercial fertilizers to those pursuing old methods. Irs general adoption would greatly reduce the area devoted to cotton, lo my mind, a most forcible argument in its favor. Ie iSrsei*,. autl to the Foinl. Dyspepsia is drcadfui.
