WINNSBORO, S. C.
^ Wednesday. December- 18. : : 188'J
We calf special attention to important
interrogatories of J. M. G ,
arid hope that Ihev will draw out
some valuable information from our
farmers.
f Gen*. McCkady's bill for the working
of convicts on the public roads has
been defeated. After all of the discus
sion on this question it seems that no
definite and practical result will be
accomplished by the Legislature. We
will probably continue to run in the old
ruts for some time yet.
Col. IIaskell has introduced a bill
-?' inTIKsLegislature regulating the voting
by sfobtliolders in the corporations
of the state. We ave not informed as
to the limitations imposed bv the bill
and arc therefore unable to commend
or condemn it. There are dangers
from both rides-the majority and the
minority- and any change should be
well digested before made. While
the majority, when each share votes,
is somtimes oppressive,, too much
power should not be placed in the
i j?? v.. ? in
JUUJUiS UI LUC UUlturilt UV il tuiuuuui>v
system of voting, thev* have less propv
ertv at stake and are necessarily not
as much interested in the ultimate
success of the corporation. A bill
providing a wise, conservative mean
between the two extremes will be of
great benefit in protecting tne interest
of all concerned.
Cothran Re?i?ns<
Judge Cothran has resigned his :-eat
in Cong: ess to accept the position of
attorney for the Richmond and Danville
Railroad., the position recently
held by Col. J. C. Haskell. Wo regret
if- ^at Congressman Cothran has seen fit
to pnrsuc this course; not only because
he is a verv able man, having shown
himself such at the bar, on the bench

cause his resignation mar deprive the
Democratic minority of a vote when
in sore need of it. Who can tel! what
will come up during the election of his
successor? W. C. Benet, George
Johnstone and?. B. Murray have been
mentioned as candidates to fill the
vacancyj.occasioned by his resignation.
By the way, as oUr contemporary,
the Columbia Register, suggests, thos-e
who hare worked to cut down the
salaries of our public officials may
lears a. lesson /icm this, namolv. that
corporatious are willing to pay more
, ior th? services of an able man than
\ the State. You mav talk of honor
conferred as much a* you please, but
if yon want good men, faithful officer?,
you must pay as much as private
enterprises do for tlie same amount of
work.

A1V OFF-DUTY LKTTEK.
Columbia, Dec. 16.?Being off duty I
and bei::g" of a restless disposition I ;
availe.d myself of a proffered opportu- j
nily, in company with another liepre- :
sentative and two Senator-, and a :
.gentleman whom L do no* \\IsIj to I
! >?omo hnt ia woll biinwii lO OUT ('Ollll- !
ty (who furnished tlie turnout), we !
constituted ourselves into a joint com- j
niittee for the purpose of looking at
all we could see in reference to the
State's interest. Well, we made a
visit over in the County of Lexington
byway of recreation. There we saw
a fiue plantation?the old Ta\lor farm.
There is said to be one thousand acres
of good bottom land lying on the Con
garee ltiver ana ^ongaiee v,it*uK. xav
I land lies beautifully and is quite fer!
tile, judging from Use crops that are
! grown thereon There i? several Jhuu!
sand acres in tl.e tract and I hear it !
! whispered that i!i<? Statu may probai
bly purcliase it lor the penitentiary
: farm.I do not think it would be a j
. bad purchase. It lies in a lew miles I
| of the city and is a very healthy place;, j
Oar next visit wu$ to the State farm i
; below the city?a farm well known j
! from its reports. It is tiue this is a I
! bad time of the year to leli what has
! been done on the farm. I saw a plat
i of small grain, apparently of oais.
j There is some cotton unpicked in the
fiild. I do not know why delayed so
long, ?i? it certainly is not entered for
any .special contest, judging from the
: stalk-. So I see other people are rather
| slow in tanning as well as the countryman.
Among the specialties that
was observed was a very large bam,

were *evera! pers about four bv >ix |

and iteu' as rtga:ds the growth ?! the j
pig.-. Jvnno were lacing t.?u"h, one j
ea^t, one west and one north. There
<*ecmed to be an experiment in the j
fattening process from the physical I
: condition of the pigs and my verdict {
U that from the present appearance
that it might be like the Irishman's
i horse, about the time that it could do
without eating it would die. Upon
j the whole from what your correspou!
dent saw, I think it is a failure.
I bstrred from a communication
; over the signature of "Occasional"
that my friend J. D. 11 .?s cotton seed
bill has some trouble. The bill met
with no trouble only it was advanced
; upon the calendar with another bill
; with other countics. I kne v that
| your correspondent did not intend to
j vlace it in that position.
i The Ulem-on College bill has had a
; hard time in getting through the
' House. Tlie deb.sti s yro and con were
j ably conducted. The maj ?ri;v in favor
i of ihe bill was very light. The bill
| wns opposed not as against the college,
| but the manner in which they proJ
posed to build and ran the college.
I I think the opposition to the college
j was verv small if any. The biil goes
j to the Senate. I cannot prcdict the
j fate of it there. Fairfield is trying to

salary system triumphed.
A biil had been introduced bygone
of the Fail held delegation for the protection
of home-raised cattle, requiring
all betvistobe inspeced on foot before
being killed?the purpose being
to keep At incur and other beef packers
from coining into competition with
r? ? yi ? !..
oou<ii Vsuroiuia uuxusis?in mm to
keep their beef out of the market.
Mr. Buchanan caUcd attention to the
fact that cattle raising would be a
thing of the past in the-State unless
something was uone for its protection,
; and -.hat the product of our own peoj
p!e jught to be protected. It was
! only a question of time when our
j stock men would be run out of the
i market. That it had been established
over and over again that diseased beef
I had been shipped into the State and
sold. It was replied that we wanted
free tra'le in beef and that in substance
home-raised cattlc and its protection
was a secondary affair. The bill was
killed. It is queer how promptly tl e
farmers vote .against their own ini
; terust.
The biil k> prevent the sale uf seed j
cotton in the several Coiinties (Fair-,
field amongst them) was killed and
the most persistent efforts of sc-veral
delegations to reconsider it only
seemed to embitter and antagonize ils
opponents. Another bill for the same
purpose has been introduced and it is
hoped will meet with better success.
A bill to prevent the absorption of j
home corporations by foreign ones i
was introduced by Mr. Haskell. It
provides that the shareholders cf all
corporations shall have the riglit to
vote &S follows: Owners of one to two
!\ hares iWe^one^rJj^eiI owners of j
j two to live shares to havc*S^Q votes, j

Dear Sik?Your letter inviiiug me
to be present at the memorial services
of our "grand hero who sleeps in death
whilst his people mourn" has j??t been

circumstances beyond my control will
prevent me from being present on this
truiy sad occasion and contributing
whatever of honor and glory and juslice
I ecu Id io i he memory of the
grandest man who has appeared in
American historv. But I tun with
you in heart ami soul, and rejoice to
know thai the citizens of mv town and
section are thus engaged. It is truly
the highest calling which could command
the attention of any people as
it tends to promote the development
of those higher attributes of head and
heart which are the main stays of
society and civilization. We have indeed
sustained a loss which in these
our first moments of anguish it is impossible
to philosophize upon. Mr.
Davis was peculiarly the type of that
elegant true Southern gentleman
wnicn nas commanueu wic respcci anu
admiration of the world. The beauties,
of Lis private character have ennobled
the name "of man, whilst the powers
of his intellect have dignified and
elevated the Amer can statesman
wherever the English language is read.
It was his chivalric renins and indomitable
courage which buoyed us up.
in the most unequalled contest which
the world has ever witnessed and made
him hope against hope, and battle
against destiny; when strong men
] trpvp nim?!!.>rl n?ul whpii stnut hearts
hesitated in their e.Torts to avert ruin,
the thoroughness oc which lie most of
all seems to hive appreciated. But it
is in his clankering trains in the mids't
of defeat, desolat^n and despair that
he stands forth grandest; the martyr
of a vanquished p. op!e, and caused to

Columbia, December 16. We
thought we appreciated your valuable
paper before leaving home, but find
we are mistaken. Had you any idea
of how anxiously we, Irom Fairfield,
look forward to the day of its arrival,
you would not f.iil to send it down.
The House is "dragging irs slow
le'igtli along" doing very little, if any
tiling. Too much time wasted in usi!e?s
tulk. The Cleuison Agricultural
(Joiicitc has, after two days lirne,
passed the House, for the third reading,
but we are of the opinion w;l!
be killed in the Senate. Had the ad
voeates of this bill been willing to
bring it forward and let it stand upon
an equal fooling withother institutions
of learning, we do not think there
would have been a dissenting voice,
i ? '
but to a>k for the sinking fund for all
time to conic which has already been
pledged for the payment of thr State
debt, for the Hatch fund, privilege tax,
and everything else where there is any
j money, and also the agricultural and
mechanical pari of that noble and timehonored
University, the pride of our
State is certainly more than any
, reasonable man, or set of men who
have at. heart the interest of the State,
could think of submitting to. The
bill had strong opposition, but passed
by about 7 votes. The writer was
<;lad to see that the delegation from
Fairfield took n sensible view of the
matter, and opposed >be bill with the
amendments.
The bill taxing dogs for /dncMional I
?r-?
purposes was killed. Tr,e seed cotton
bill, that is the selling of cotton seed,
introduced by Mr. Harrison, we think,
will pass through. The only way
however, to get it through was 10 tack
on Fairtielu ~;th other counties making
a similar application.
Mr. Harrison made quite a fine
effort for his fir.-t attempt before that
flnornst bodtr on the Cleui-son bill. His
argument was based upon ihe-ground,
that the sons of farmers miM lay the
foundations at Idiiio; that we were
too poor to genu them otl' to an Agricultural
College. Start them well at
home, and then if able, kt them go to
any college they may prefer. T'?e
CleinsoM was only an experiment, and
he did not think it would be doing
the State justice to pledge any amount
