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.

la speaking of the number of idle
negroes in the South, the Columbia
Kecord thinks '.there are too many of
them, and that whero the idicrs are
fcbout equal in number to the workers
progress toward wealth and a better
f?nrxi;i5A?i nf sfYWirs is slow. 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.

! 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

?t? nrst luif

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.

An Es*ay JJefi>r? tho irlonticello
Farmer*' Alliance by the Hon. Hayae
McMccklc:.
Bro. 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

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.
