Their Scheme
f,'' .
When the Pan-American Congress
| ^first proposed, wc entertained
hopes that it would be of great benefit
to the whole ot the United States-a
national benefit?aud would not be confined
to a small section of it. \t the .
present time, however, it seems that
it is purely a scheme inaugurated by
Bpr***?- New England protectionists ?o secure
W a new market for protected industries.
The route has aireadv been definitelv
mapped out for the international ex*
, peditton. The cities in the main to be
*r? situated iu the moat avowed
protectionist regions.
They $av that the expedition will
wake a tour of the South? But when?
Why, when the delegates shall have
returned to Washington, and transacted
ail the busine?8 for which the
Congress was convened.
The Protectionist newspapers of the
South are wrought up about it, but
a i Ko and fYinrien verv aotlv
ays, tLii is perfectly proper when the
purpose of the promoters of the jCouconsidered.
"That purpose
is lo secure a ndtr-fttarket for our pro|
tecied mauuiactureft, which has out
grown the home market and no other;
| and the scheme is to try to induce our
non-m&ntafaciusring neighbors of
Central and South America to buy
g?; ' from us what they baye refused to buy
1| heretofore, on account of the high
prices we charged e^ch wiier.n
S WTioie troth is that the protectionists
are becoming apprehensive of
their ability to meet the fight of-freetrade
on one hand, and protection
on the other. This scheme, then, of
the promoters of the Congress should
meet with no sympathy from the
^ South. It is against our interest.
rll? whole object is to smoru a prop 10
the now declining theory ofprotection.
We think the News and Courier
U right in urging that when the delegates
are gone, and the subsidy
Scheme is sprung in Congress for consideration,

section "ongbt to emphasize the view
Of the scheme now forced upon them,

Some time ago a committee was appointed
by the Mount Ziou Society to
secure lecturers to come to "Winnsboro
and address the people on literary and
^ scientific subjects. For some reason,
we have not had a single address,
althousrh the committee was appointed
more than a year ago. Now we ap
predate the fact that it is no easy
matter to obtain prominent mens services.
We know that numerous invitations
would be extended before an
acceptance could be had, yet so imports
tant is it to execute this idea that we
now advocate a renewal of the efforts
.
to engage speakers. It is of para
x l 4.^ t?
mount/ importance tu jiuuui aivu jut
" stitute and is calculated to do no little
good to the citizens of the town.
For instance, suppose we could get
soine one to deliver a lecture on one j
of the sciences, astronomy, geology, >
physics or any other. Can any one i
doubt thai he would be benefited !
1 & ? <x*tbathe wouid be taught something?
All sciences are progressive, hence ]
Wf even those who have studied them '
years ago would find out the new dis-?
coveries made, etc., since lie -was a .
school boy. But it is not even neces
sary that the hearer should be a college i
graduate for these lectures to be enter- j
taining to him. "While all of the ;
sciences have their theories, yet in the ;
end they are infinitely practical. The [

the science of physics. Only a short ^
time ago, comparatively speaking, \
students of the science were busy <
engaged making experiments, and ;
have now embodied their observations j
into definite and fixed laws, and having <
done this the practical application has 1
followed. It is the same way in the 1
science or cnemisiry. xiiev are an (
ultimately practical. "Wealth, luxury, .
comfort. ?nd happiness all depend <
upon them. The experiments and ob- ?
serrations of the scientists are destined *
to revolutionize the world. Who does ^
not want to hear of these things? i
? t ^ - -L 'it .i AS L - 4
F(jan you aouox out mese lectures ?
would pre-eminently tend to increase j
the culture of our people? t
Then think of what a wholesome ]
influence it wonld have upon the young t
L people. "We once heard one of the t
most prominent scientists in tbe State ^
say that the day was near at hand
when scientific topics would take the I
place of the frivolous tete-a-tete among i
ihe young people. The man or woman ]
not posted on them must then be de- *
prived of proper social position in (
life.
Then we need literature as well. J
More is known of English literature ;
at the present day than ever before.
Money making is not the only thing j
Winnsboro needs. Simply to make 1
money tends to narrow and dwart tne
mind. Let us have these lectures. We
are certainly moving forward so far as
industrial prosperity is concerned, and
for this very reason our intellectual
culture must not be neglected. The i
two go hand in hand. A literary
atmosphere is as necessary as the .
"almighty" dollar. "Without culture
the dollar is a curse rather than a ]
blessing.
COTTOX CUZT1VATIOX COXTIXUED.
Mr. Editor: In my preceding article ,
I gave, founded 011 observation, the .
best plan to adopt in the cultivation of
cotton, taking the quality of land into
consideration. I will resume the subject
and give additional proof which
I think will fully substantiate the
views I have advanced. Take the cotton
early in July, when the lateral
roots are penetrating me son uu wouuu
sustenance for the growth of stalks
and fonnation of fruit and its development.
Could there be anything done
in the way of cultivation that would
retard its growthmorethan the cutting
of the lateral roots below surface culture?
and when done, will inflict irreparable
injur}', unless partially remedied
bv rain in a short time to com
pact the recently plowed earth, so as to
renew their growth and should drought
ensue, irreparayle injury must be the
result.
During the month of July we want
growth of stalk and fruit in its inciplencv,
which if we get, will develop a
good crop in August, unless the
weather should become unfavorable
for its maturity, wmcn l will make
manifest. We will say on rather ordinary
land, cotton is planted in rows
three feet wide and two feet in drill,
will give 70 rows and 105 stalks to
row and to the acre 7,350 and five get
10 bolls to stalk, which appears a small
yield, and 100 will weigh a pound,
gives 735 lbs. per acre, which exceeds
the average of crops annually made.
Two of the volunteer stalks in garden
as late as the 25th of last month, had
10 white blooms, on the 29th 5, and
30th 4?19 blossoms in three days,
which goes to show if we have the
stalks and shapes it don't take long to
develop blooms sufficient to make a
good crop, even if more than half of
them failed to develop fruit. "We generally
prepare the land to plant young
fruit trees and ayoid plowing anywise
deeDlv near them for fear of cuttinsr
the'lateral roots and retarding their
growth, and if it be applicable to them
why not to cotton, whose roots don't
penetrate so deeply. Take land destitute
of humus aiid concentrate commercial
fertilizers heavily in drill and
with cottun planted early commences
to fruit the last of June and if the lateral
roots are cut in Julv by plowing
anywise deeply, should brought ensue
"good bye" to crop for that year as on
most worn lands after rain "the stalks
fail to put on new growth and the
early bolls also sap the stalks, check
oti/3 Trnf^Anf T*o?n />oncoc o
WJj UUU XCUviiV AUO-14 VMUOVO t*
shedding: of young fruit and with both
combined a small yield must necessa.
rily follow and in most instances on
such lands planted the latter part of
April will give the best yield. It must
be apparent to every observing mind
that the plan pursued by our ancestors
when the lana was fresh and did not
require aid of fertilizers much only to
excellerate the development of fruit to
make a remunerative crop that since
they have become worn and destitute
of humus the preparation to plant and
the cultivation of crop must necessarily
be changed to suit.
T nrnnosp in mv npvf. nrfiplp tn crior_ .
gest a course to pursue, which I believe
if practicad, will give fertility to
the soil and wake the yield remunerative
with only a limited application of
fertilizers. j. ar. g.

ABOUT RAILROADS.
Fairfield Needs Them?A Proposition by |
Which the Roads Could be Built?Ad- j
vocation of $180,000 of Bonds be Issued |
by the County.
To the Editor of the News and Herald:
Please publish the following letter re-!
ceived from a gentleman of the county, j
"Jfr. G. H. McMaster?Dear Sir: i
This County is getting back for the i
want of railroads and it wonld be an I
easy matter for us to get railroads all j
through Fairfield County if some few j
men would work for them. I have j
been thinking sometime of going up to
see von on the subject. I would sug-'
^est" that this County would give a!
County subscription fo^tj&ree rail- i
roads, say one hundred an&4lffc? thous- j
and?that is to the Wadeshoro,
Winnsboro and Camak Railroad^- to !
the Fishdam, Winnsboro and Camden [
Railroad; to the Gafnev City, Chester ],
and Camden Railroad.* By voting for ;'
the three roads we would* have three- i'
fourths of the voters or, our side
* * In this, way I don't think it.
wcsdcT"be hard to get railroads started ]
hi this County. They are trying to j
get Chester County to give a County 1
suDscnpnon to tne brarney mty, u. <K j
C. R. R which I believe will be done. 1 |
Yours, etc., " i
That something ought to be done to .
lift Fairfield County out of the condi- \
tion in which Sherman and the war J
left her is manifest Formerly this j>
County was second to none in agricnl- J <
tural wealth. Now it is one of the j s
poorest Counties in the State. Other j
sections, where railroads have been |
built since the war, have been vastlv I *
i a J i. 1*1 :
oenenteu ana our inmost enorts snouia . ]
be put forth to keep pace with them, j,
[f the Wadesboro, Winnsboro and i
Oamak Railroad, and the Fishdam, J1
Winnsboro and Camden Railroad be i
built, Fairfield County, and "Winns- j <
tx>ro and Ridgeway and other towns ' j
that will spring up will compete sue- j <
lessfulJy with any other part of the j '
State in the race for wealth. These j5
two railroads will each ran about 45 j,
miles through Fairfield making about j |
X) miles of new railroad. I propose j 1
Lhat $180,000 of bonds or ?2,000 per "
nile be issued by the County for the i5
>enefit of these two roads. The interest
on these bonds at 6 per cent, would j ]
imount to $10,800 per annum and j
tvould at first require a levy of about { ,
> mills to produce the amount. But; .
;he railroad property introduced into j
the County ana the increased value j
pven to real estate will in a few years '
nore than double the wealth of the :
bounty and make the payment of the ;
ailroad tax a comparative trifle. > (
Ridge way will be greatly benefited by *
he Fishdam, Winnsboro and Camden '
Railroad, and if its prospective benefits :,
0 Camden be properly estimated by j'
be people of that town'they will make j ~
1 liberal contribution towards building
he road.
Columbia and Chester will each soon
iave railroads radiating in six direc- c
r
ft
dons, thereby being enabled to levy J
tribute upon the whole County of ]
Fairfield to the prejudice of our own ^
towns. To be placed in position to
jompete with its two thriving neigh- 1
bors, Winnsboro could well afford to
contribute $25,000 to the two railroads, j
[f we wish the roads built,action should .
be taken at the approaching session of ,
tne .Legislature to ootam tne power 10
issue an amount of bonds that will ensue
their early completion.

October 12. The weather is all we
can ask for in maturing and opening
cotton. The frost a few days ago in
jured young cotton to a considerable
extent in some sections, yet it did not
hurt us a great deal in this community.
The cottcn crop is the shortest
for years, there is no question about
that, we have a great deal of young1 cotton
that will not mature. Yet with
this general statement, which is true
there is now and then a fine crop in
our community.
Capt. X. Mason 011 fourteen acres
had picked and ginned over 12 bales,
averaging over oOU to the bale two

We had considerable frost here on

CEDAK CREEK.
October 12. A killing frost visited
this section on the 8th, which has
shortened the cotton crop by killing
the young bolls. Much of oar cotton
is late, and consequently the frost has
been untimely for us. We have had
frost in this neighborhood every month
this year except June, July and August.
and we escaped by the skin of
our teeth iu June. It seems that we
would have been seasoned to these
cool snaps, but such ia not the case, for
the October round knocked voung
young cotcon entirely out. November
will do the balance.
Old Billy Bed, my faithful charger,
though not exactly frost bitten, has
gone off with the young cotten. I
can't say whether it was old age, frost,
or gluttonous appetite which persuaded
him to leave, but the f&ct remains
all the same he's gone and "stretched
his limbs to rise no more."
On the 4th of October the Gum
Spring Alliance held its regular meeting.
Not much business of importance
was transacted.
Tn snfiakinor of the Alliance, it seems
to me that 6omt of the Sob-Alliance*
have forgotten that the constitution
provide* who are eligiblo for membership,
namely, farmers, ccuutry doctor?,
ministers and comity school
teachers and no others. And alto that
when a member becomes a merchant
he should cease to be a member, the
organization haying been intended exclusively
for farmers. Are all our
Sab-Alliances standing up to this? If
not, why not? Perhaps we have not
got the right constitution and others
have. We are certain that the one we
have ?loes't mention country storeteeners
alon^ with countrv doctors
and countiy school teachers. Ain't
there hard-fisted, hard sense and hardheaded
farmers enough to be our business
agents? And if not can't one be
taken from each Sub-Alliance and be
trained.

"A serie* once adopted shall not be
changed during the period of adoption
by the State Board.
"The series adoDted shall be Dut in I
force not later than the fall of 1889.
"Any teacher, who, while receiving
public fund*, uses text-books in the
course of study prescribed for public
schools that are not on the State list,
shall forfeit his pay for the time he
uses thetn.
"Any teacher may refuse to teach
any pupil not supplied with the books
prescribed for said school.
4,The Trustees, or in their default,
lio f'nnntw Urmi-rl r?f TTlTftmnipre shall
IUV I ^VU?V4 Vt
enforce these provisions.
"The County School Commissioner
shall withhold approval of pay certificates
ot any teachcr not conforming
thereto; and the teacher persisting in
violating the same shall be deprived of
his certificate of qualification."
It will be seen that the foregoing
regulations are quite stringent, but as
thev are altos-ether in the line of nni
formitv, and economy of the parents'
money and tbe pupils time, the
hearty co-operation of parents is requested
in securing their enforcement.
The following is the list, and might
be preserved for future reference:
Headers.?Appleloii's.
Histories?Davidson's South Carolina
aud Barnes' U. 8.
Geographies?Maury
Arithmetics? Sanford'* "Intermediate^'
aud "Common School," aad
Wentworth's "First Steps" and Grammar
School."
Grammars?Reed & Kellojfg'*.
Dictionaries? Webster's "Primary"
and ''Commons School" and Worcester's
"Academic" and "Comprehensive."
Spellers?Swintou's.
Penmauship?Harpers'
Physiology and Hygiene?Smith's.
Thk subject of reading something in
the line of school work is again
brought before teachers.
The experience and observation of
all school men of note will bear the
writer out in saying that teachers will
never improve and advance themselves
and schools unless they do ;ead some*
thing pertaining to their vocation. If
yon wish to keep posted with the theories,
progress and doings of the great
edacational world, [or want to do more
efficient work aud secure better positions
and bigger salaries, or desire to
become better, truer teacher#, that you
may do more for your pupils aud"for
the enlightenment, and betterment of
the society in which they aud yourself
etioll rnnvn rn/>?ll nrlmt ho nicoct unH
beat of your class have written for your
assistance and qoidance.
The thoughts and experiences of
these high men and women are found
ia the pedagogical works and journals.
The names of several of tbe latter,
with their subscription rates, were
published a short time since, but the
South-West Journal and Education,
Nashville, Terni., is again presented
for your consideration. It is edited by
Southern teachers acquainted with
Southern schools, aud a personal acquaintance
with the editors and a
knowledge of their writings enables
the writer to soeak in thfrhiehest terms
of the quality and litjjeas of its contents.
The more immediate occasion,
however, of its being attended to, is
the valuable offer it now raaki s subscribers.
Its regular subscription
price ie $1.00 a year, but for $1.50
you can get a membership worth $1.50
itr a reliable Library Association, a
a ten ccnt catalogue giving wholesale
prices of some 5000 books and the
"Journal" for ne year. .Said Library
membership entitles the bolder

The following are specimens of the

be given, but think the above sufficient
to show that a great deal can be
saved to teacher* when baying books.
