FOR CONGRESS?FOURTH DISTRICT: \V. II. PERRY, of Green Ailie. L?uon itlif from SJooks. As a correspondent of this paper g recently suggested, unless " Wiunsboro ^ and Fairfield wish to be squeezed out y like an orange, they will have to have another railroad," or words to that effect. ^ ; To one who seriously considers this 4 question the words of the correspondent quoted above will come with . | peculiar force, for to all such it is evident that wo must do something in j that line unless we want to calmly dry up and die, and we hardly want Fto do that. Now let us look at this railroad question in the light of taxation as assessed upon this county. In another! column may1! he seen figures taken from the treasurer's books showing the amount of taxes contributed by the railroads of this county. They pay ?G,025.1S, which is one-seven.h of the taxation of the county or about 1A per cent. Without this railroad property in ? our- borders this tax of over ,$6,000 would have to be met by the people, or looking at it in another light there would be an addition of 1? mills on | onr assessment. Now these figures show that if we tax onrselves to build railroads they in the end return it to U3 by paying taxes themselves, besides giving us advantages of competition in trade, which enables us to pay our taxes with bolter grace and a more cheerful, willing and easy spirit. In voting lo build railroads we of conrse increase our taxation, but, at the same time, we think the increased assessment to which we would be subjected would be counterbalanced by competition, and consequently cheaper ^?- prices for what wo purchase, and the ? taxes the railroads pay theiuselv?3, which lessens the self-imposed assessk ment-, so much. Looking at the matter, then, solely from the cost, and not from the necessity and good results H which wore so plainly pointed out by I Ka correspondent in our last issue, we believe it . ould be to the interest of Jjsvery voter in Fairfield county and tfte~tcrwn of Winnsboro to nse all earnest endeavors to build another railroad to this place, whether it be the two routes already agitated or whether it be others not yet considered. A Straw. The election in Newark, X. J., recently was quite a "loud gun" from the Democratic party. Newark is the great manufacturing city of that State and is one of the twenty principal manufacturing cities of this country. I^n^aofcictunng establishments emg^gJ^fiokd in 1880 .about 3.0,000 hands, over ;>2,000 of which were males above 16 years of age. In this city containing so many working men who have the requisite qualifications of the voter the Republican party had worked the .tarjff scare for all it was worth, some of the enthusiastic Republicans manufacturers handing the weekly pay thpii* dinnlnwii! flipm in pnvp.l ~V?^w^ vvw ? - ? opes containing on the back some choice maxims of protection lore, V which, by the way, is a kiud of ball^ dozing scheme 011 the part of manufacteirers, which equals, if it does not surpass, the bulldozing schemes resorted to by Southern "rebels" as alleged by some hot Republican journals. Notwithstanding this the working men had sense and courage enough to vote ^ lor the party which has their best interests at heart, and as the result of this, Newark gave a Democratic majority of about 750 votes. This vote has a peculiar significance. " ' It is almost the invariable rule for the Democrats to carry the election in "off" years, bnt heretofore, notably in 1880 aa? 1SS4, thcv failed to do so. Yet "Nc-w Jersey generally goes Democrartc in Presidential years, notwithstanding the Republican majority in Newark in those elections. The fact, then, that the Democrats, contrary to precedent in Presidential years, carried this great manufactur ing city, carries with it much encour? agemeut to the friends of tariff reform and generally shows that the -'tariff I scare" does not scare as the Republicans desire it- At any rate, it is a straw showing the direction of the wind. XoSfcrioas Cansc for Alarm. Congressman Hemphill, who has been j in Chester taking in the fair, returned ! to Washington on Saturday. lie is j just from the rural districts of the j Dirotal State of New York where he , has been talking tariff reform to the i farmers. lie says he met with great: encouragement, that the people turned i out well to the meetings and are taking j a lively interest iu politics. Four years ago, it will be remembered, the Republicans carried this part of the State by a large majority, and this is the section in which missionary work is needed. Mr. Hemphill says where the people are made to : understand the inequalities and injus- ; tice of the tariff laws they are turn- j ing to the Democratic party for relief, 1 and that the tariff is the ODly issue up j there. He thinks cpiaplications 111 the ! city^og^j^gjjj^^rill not seriously j chances, that ^ a hard fight j II if r "i" i I ii 'i i'r irnTmi XcwYork will be fotunl in the Democratic column on the 6th of November. Mr. Hemphill is looking- well and in fine spirits. He is always wideawake to the interests of his constituents. find f br> ImiorrM' he is keDt in Con gress the more valuable will his services be to them. rQi Dmm Aii Ku^oura^ins O;:o of the best and most encouraging signs 111 politics in this country is the determination on the part of people of every shade of political opinion in Indiana to unite to secure a fair and impartial election. The agreement is that in all election precincts where the inspector is a Democrat he shall appoint a judge and clerk to be selected by the Republicans of such precinct; and where the inspector is a Republican he shall appoint a judge and clerk to bo selected by the Democrats of trie precinct. This movement was inaugurated by the Democrats and shows that they are confident of their ability to carry the State under a fair election. Aside from this, it seems evident that if such a movement could be inaugurated in every State, it would result to t lie best interest of the whole American people, in that it would operate against election frauds and leave -no room for those constant tirades on the part of our politicians against unfair voting,"Jas they allege exists. The adoption of such a non partisan principle would redound to the good of all and to the perpetuity ot our institution.*. ?iO arm Tiir ftew York Sun, edited by the gifted bat erratic Chas. A. Dana, poses as a Democratic paper, bat it never loses an opportunity of stabbing the party in the bask. In 1884 it switched off the track entirely and supported Ben Butler as the labor candidate for the Presidency when it knew that Butler would draw more votes from the Democratic party than t!?; Kepubl ie:tn. Since that time, while nominally supporting the President, it has nevertheless not hesitated to damn him with faint praise at all times, and now at last it has completely thrown off the mask and openly supports the tariff bill of the Republican Senate rather than that of the Democratic House. Its opinions are freely quoted by Republican journals as Democratic sentiment, to the detriment of the interests of the party. The Sun ?>nly masquerades as a Democratic journal, being Republican at heart and belief. As the election draws near it might be weli to remember that the people will be called upon to vote on two constitutional amendments. These J are the lengthening of the term of the [ Probata Jud?e to four years instead of two as at present and making the office of Schooi Commissioner a] poiutive instead of elective. While these two amendments will be voted upon, they are not matters of great importance. It really is a matter of littie moment ; whether the Probate Judge's office is held for a term of two or four years, ! and as for the amendment proposed, j relating to the School Commissioner, it seems to be an unnecessary piece of i work, for under the primary system | as now in vogue all offices arc elective. Tiie whole Civilized world lias been [ shocked l>y the terrible reign of murder | in London, whereby in the ppace of a I few days six brutal murders were I committed. All of the victims were ; women and all were horribly mutilated by the blood-thirsty monster, for j ^ n,? ??n i iroin uie limine ui uto wwi.\ it an seems to have been planned by the same person. The police arc powerless, for the murderer does his work quick and sure without leaving even a trace. Similar crimes to this were perpetrated in Austin, Texas, some years ago and the fiend was never discovered, and from present indications it is doubtful if the London murderer will ever be apprehended. Senator Gorman, who is accepted everywhere as one of the most astute and clear-headed politicians in the country, thinks the situation is 25 per cent, better in favor of the Democratic party than in the national campaign of 1884. Senator Gorman does not believe that the triangular fight for mayor in New York city will or can be turned to the disadvantage of the Domocratic national ticket, when both of the Democratic factions will give their hearty sunport to Cleveland. A glaring attempt on the part of the Kepnblicans to carry New York by colonizing voters has been exposed. Publicity to such conspiracies means defeat, complete arrangements having been made to bofflo the contemplated crime, so, the colonizers will not be able to consummate the fraud.

The questions and answers arc given below: 1. Was not the planting of oat?, on account of frequent failure?, almost abandoned before Col. Wyatt Aiken introduced the red rust-proof variety, ! and from whence did he procure the | seed? 2. For a few years after the introduction of the red rust-proof oats was the oats crop both abundant and cer~ tain? 3. Has not the deterioration of the I seed caused the failures of the past few years, and would not the irnporta[ tion and use of a fresh supply of seed again insure good crops? | 4. With the poor corn crop of this year would it not be advisable to make the experiment this fall with fresh ! seed ? ( In reply to voar first question I would j state that the planting of fall oats was almost abandoned before Col Aiken I introduced the mst proof variety. I | do not. know from whence lie procured the seed, but one of the most I successfuUarmers in Abbeville county ' told me that he had failed for six year's ! in his crop of fall oats before he be! gan sowing them. The oats crop was abundant and ! certain for several years after they were introduced. In 1SS0 I purchased red rust proof seed from Gen. Br at ton who told me that they were not the-purest and would deteriorate; but although ihe winter ot':$l was as seve e as any we have had since, I j made a magnificent crop. I succeeded j for three successive years making large i yields. The fourth year my estimate i was half of a full crop, and <ince then j 1 have failed in the lull sowing. I believe this failure uue entirely to the- deterioration or the >ecd, for I have planted them at the ! iirht season. Of late years a Texas variety, said to be rust proof, i? used throughout o ir county, and from i hem 1 have never seen a crop of fail oais. I believe the demand for pare rust proof , seed to be imperative, and iho farmers of Fairfield should endeavor to secure them and plant :.t once. The Alliance should take hold of the matter and see that their members do so. It has been .my observation in many instances, esl pecial'y with small farmer.-, that they I plant their oats on the most inferior ! lands. This is a mistake. The oats I should be planted on the best quality I of soil, plowed in with small side | nir?tv lies and harrowed till the soil is | j thoroughly pulverized. Use pure rust j ! proof seed. Prepare the land worth j planting in the above manner, and j there will be no disappointment in the fall sowing. But how many plant land that they know will not be remunerative. There ! is mapy an acre on every farm that I have visited in Fairfield county planted in cotton which, if the planter would ask himself the question, will this pay?has not this soil been exhausted? would be turned into pasturage or allowed to rest. But they decide that a certain number of acres must be planted, and in many instances with all of its vegetable matter worn out. such land is planted, thereby throwing aw^y the exertions of the planter for a pittance?feeding' mules to cultivate it 011 corn purchased at lien prices, and paying t!;e negro with money borrowed al ruinous rates of interest. * I believe in the intensive system of fanning, although up to this time I have not practiced it. "Our people very seldom a^k themselves if they are making money or losing it. As a general thing they keep no books and cannot tell where they stand. They are satislied with the knowledge that they arc following the same occupation and methods used in the ante helium days when their grandfathers made ft;; tunes or their fathers provided every comfort for their families; but they never stop to think that times and customs change, that we have no more original woods to cicav, UUU UJIiL UIU 5UU3i<?in,\; w..o been gradually drained out of the soil. That with the impoverishment of the lar.d they themselves becomo poorer as each year rolls round. Cattle, the principal ingredient of.'nccessful farming, are little prized, and almost all of our mules and horses arc purchased from a distance. The Eastern, the Northern, or the Western business man drops any occupation or changes his system as soon ; as he convinces himself that it does not pay; but in our Southern land if ! this is done by one who would better ! hi.- condition his neighbors immedia'cj ly say: "Poor fellow, he has good qualities, but he is too changeable and t speculative to succeed." ! Bat I am digressing and giving you more than you asked for, but I must add that in my opinion we have the best climate in the world, land as generous, when properly fed, as any on earth, labor that, with proper direction j and under the control of a firm and i jt st hand is second to none. Free j from any plagues that effect either man or beast, with pasture lands, when comparing the prices at which they can be purchased as profitable as any in the blue grsss regions, we ought to be a prosperous and happy people, and if we are not so, the fauit is not in our government, no: in our stars, but in ourselves.
