March 19. : : 1890 Our editorial space is given up to other matter this morning. ? Where is the Errrr ! Either of two things must l?e true, namelv: L didn't read our report of * the Farmers' Mas? Meeting or he wantonly desires to misrepresent 11% and we would dislike very much to believe the latter i* t->e case. The fact that he assume* thar we used the word "socalled" carrier with it the reasonable presumption that he did not even read the account, or if he did read it it wa8 only casually. Certainly it was not read by L with that degree of caie which would warrant, him in criticising it. The word "so cal'ed" does not appear in the piece at all, nor does No. 8 say it doe?. Whether or not the word is In the account is, of course, an immaterial point so far as an accurate accouut of the proceedings of the Convention is concerned, but we only allude to :'??$ to show bow labored are ?- ? the^ effort* of L to find* some little flaw. We mu?i at least say that our critic Is late in finding ont that we failed to give a true statement of the facts; and if he proposes to except to our report of the Convention we would be glad t? have him point out specifically wherein the errors lie, and not simply make the sweeping generalization that with two representatives of this pap*i on. the floor a true report was not given; and we challenge him to poiuf out one single misstatement. The purpose of the paper was to give a fail unbiased report, and this we .believt we have done. Trying: t* Ket TtjetUer. The Republicans find it difficult tc fram.' a tariff bill. So loug as the olc bil! lasts it is a piece of framework which though badly decayed still hc'ds together by "were force of repoe. liui as soon as a single timber i? moved the whole concern will topple dowi with a crash. This is evidently tin ' ason why the Republican plat for ir declared against any change? whatever. But changes have to come New industries are pressing in, oldei ones are jtoin^ to pieces, and the wort of adjustment, forces HWlJq'i/ilZ'taLiiin^ "goes up all along the line. The wool jnauui'acturera of Pen nay 1 ranis . ' and the ?ool growers of Ohio are at each others throats, about free wool. New England is almost solid for free iron and coal, while Pennsylvania wants ttili higher duties. The tin miners *f Dakota demand a hearv in??? crease of duty on that article, while the frnit snd vegetable cmners ot Mar;land have organized a network of club* to fight the increase which will cost them $600,000 a year. It takes a hundred bushels of oats in Missouri to brimr a cheap suit of clothe?; and in Kansas a fanner was declared by the Court to exempt 100C bushels of corn from a levy, to be used as fuel since it was cheaper than protected coal. To get all these people together is the plea>ant t*bk. of Major McKinley and his It* publican Committee of ways atid mean?. Those faint-hearted Democrats who thiuk that tariff reform i* a mUtakeu cry mar well ponder these tuggestire facts. A Blow at Southern Industrie*. A bill 1ms been introduced iuo Cou-\ gres6 with good prospects of passage mKk which is aimed at one of the most prosperous industries recently inaugurated in the South, that of manufacturing cotton seed oil. This oil has by careful analysis been proven to be healthful. When refined it makes a good food product, and it is now largely used in the manufacture of lard compound, a cheap and satisfactory article of cooking. In consequence of its general use for this purpose the demand has become so great that good prices for oil can be secured, which enable the uianufac turer to pay a handsome price to ttie farmer for cotton seed and yet make a satisfactory profit for himself. Any measurr that tends to destroy the demand will surely reduce the price of oil, bring down the price of seed to the farmer, or raise the price of meal and fertilizers and seriously cripple the mills that are now springing up on all sides. The hog raisers of the Union, feel the effect of this competition, aud have aused the introduction of a bill in Cengress to prevent the "adulteration' of lard, so called, atid to put a tax on AAmnAtinrl ncA/3 fftn wMU SJli WIU^VUUU U9VVI 4V4 VVV??**^| fl U1IV lard is to remain untaxed. No one can reasonably object ^to a bill that -? prevents articles from selling under false pretence, and when people purchase lard, tbey desire to be certain tbat what tbey get is indeed lard. But recent investigations showed that there is very little pure lard in the land. Ahno?t all manufacturers adulterate their product in one way and another, and it is charged that the Kni4!a? nf cnffAfflfofl fpnvnn np swine are deliberately thrown into the frying vats. While person of fastidions taste i much prefer pure leaf iard tu any compound they are no lvs* btaious that J adulteration, if such is- inevitable, should be secured through pare vegetable oil, rather than through unclean animal products. Unless the bill, therefore, stamps ont all adulteration, it aims a blast at cotton seed which is without the least semblance of justice. But admitting the propriety of preventing oil or any other substance j from being sold under a false name, I there is no warrant in the constitution or in justice or in common eeuse lor taxing a food product under its own name merely because it competes with ancther article of food. Herein lies the stiug of this bill. Wc hear of no organized opposition to this bill, yet it is one that calls for action. The Farmers Alliancc is expressly designed to protect its members and > others from such utijnst descrimination and it should act at once. It should forward protests from every ?ub-Alliance.. until these petitions pour like hail upon Congress. It should get the i o?/? rtf tiip cntfnn seed manufacturers in scotching the bill. The fertilizer companies are also interested; for as the cost of prepniation of cotton seed is reimbursed from the joint price of oil and of meal, the more that is received from oil, the smaller will be the selling price of meal. The consumers of the South are interested because the u?e of cotton seed oil as food keeps down the price of lard, which would otherwise enjoy a monopoly. This is one measure on which all classes in the Sonth can write, ?nd The News and Herald hopes they j wiir do 5-o at once, before the bill goes ? i".? tx7i!l fko a lljAllP.A IUU jar ;ur mucau mil ?.?. ? take the iuitiative in making a protest? COUNTY NEWS. EA.ST WATERKE. March 11. The blooming plum, blushing peach, and budding oak, all telling of the near spring, have been nipped in the bud by the recent cold snap. Although the farmers have done a great deal of plowing, yet they are not much further advanced in pre" 11? paring for planting tnan usuum at this season of the year, for the principal -work that has been done is breaking. The Hessfc i fir has injured small grain considerably. ' The young people of Oakland and ' East "VVaterec are contemplating [ organizing a reading club. Two of our Scuffletown bachelors hare become habitually accustomed to ! wandering into the eastern part of ; the county. Can any of the good people of that section give an account > of them ? ' The latest novelty in this section is : a bell tower of which Mr. T. W. 5 Rawls is sole proprietor.

The farmers are all as busy as bees ^ettiti<r their lands prepared for a bi* crop; we have had guch nice weather to work. This \ear we are all about two weeks ahead of last year. I don't think I ever saw as much guauo used as ihe farmers are using this year iu our neighborhood. Acid phosphate seem* to be gaining on the amoniated guauo. I heard a farmer say that be used last year the amoniated guano by the tide of acid phosphate and he could tell no difference in resrard to yield, *ize of stalk etc., and there was a difference in price of 50 per cent in favor of acid. 1 fee in your paper of March, the 5th, that * our Buckhead correspondent _ ? *- ? -1-of fKa A Hi. 13 cry 111" 10 111 SKIT a -Ul"5 at mv *?...? ance.

This way of running accounts orer from year to year will keep any man's nose to the grind stone and will eventually grind *11 the manhood oul of him in the bargain.

So hurrah fur i>cn Tillman for our next Governor, IIOREB. March 15. Farm work is well advanced stock and cattle are in fine condition. Farmers in our community are using more guano than heretofore. I think there is at least 30 per cent more commercial fertilizers used than last year. There will be less provisions bought by our farmers on time this year than for several years past. The oat crop is improving since the freeze. The Hessian fly, I hope, has finished its labors. The cotton crop 'will be as large as last year perhaps a slight increase in acreage. The corn crop will be as large as last year. Some few of our farmers have planted part of their corn crop. Onr friend, X. C. Robertson, is, I think, improving slowly. The free school (Bethel Academy,) taught bv Mr. the Mr- Culp is - -ar^grood teacher and has given satisfaction. "We are sorry the school will close so soon. KIlASTEIIVILLE. March 15.

Woodward for Governor is Urged. (Ridgeicay Advertiser.) While we do not propose to discuss or criticise the famous "March convention," the result of the call of Mr. Shell, either as to its merits or demerits, we urge upon all good citizens, those who desire to see continued the probity, honor and dignity, the grace, intelligence and manhood which has adorned the gubernatorial chair, since the days of'76, upon those who propose to renouuee the demagogue and all his works, upon delegates to nominating conventions, caucuses and what not, by whomsoever called upon intelligent voters, we urge the name that throughout the Slate commands the love and respect due a just, honest. God-fearing citizen, the name of Thomas W. Woodward, of Fairfield, for governor of South Carolina. A Conservative Farmer's Reason Why Jno. Bratton Should be Nominated for Governor. {Cor. Ntuos and Courier.) To the Edior of the JXews and Courier: As in these days there is 110 ring in Isreal, and every man is doing that which is right Jn his own eye, thinking each for himself, I venture to express through your columns ray opinion regarding tho present political troubles in this Stale. Your issue of the oth inst contains a tabulated statement of the results of the meetings held cfti salcsday, .vhich j is weii worth careful consideration. It bhows that had acti?u been taken by all the counties the certain strength of Tillman on tbe 27th inst would be even then us three to thirty-four, only three counties being: stated as having declan.d for him, ;;nd the inference is that those which refused to send delegates at all ar:: opposed :?> him in any case. It shows also that Tillman has not attempted umcIp'*-handed work to attain endorsemenths charged against J him, and that J:e m;?id$ of the farmers are not so much c">i:.;v*riit?l with him personally, as wi?'? the principles which the Convention ;s lo promulgate. The platform to be adopted there is, every disinterested farmer thinks, a much graver question than any consideration of particular candidates lobe chosen to sustain it in the eamnaicn. Tbat this is true, and that the farmers generally believe they have substantial complaints as to their condition, not in regard to any set of men now in office, of who have previously controlled state affairs, is shown in the lact that so manv counties electcd delegates to the Convention for the very purpose of setting forth these complaints, at the same time forbidfrt foL-a fKo fnrfKiit* fitono nf uxu? lt,gm lw luw Ulvt/U v* making nominations. - Now the bad policy in that i?, that b i this class of delegates tends te make : | the Contention a generally reprcsenta- i ! tive one of the farmer*, and theu it | leaves it subject to the entire control i | ?f the few extremists in such a vital i ! point as that of nomination?.

So much, now, for the hind eight. Is it yet too late to correct the mistake < and not leav*- th" Convention to Tillman's nnr.heck*d control? Not if any i general consent can be had and a com- : mon policy adopted by those unwilling to caiumir the blunder of going betore ;he Democratic Convention wilh Tillman tor endorsement. If they continue to nominate a man who j has their confidence first, and commands a* well the good opinion of the entire State, setting lortti :? national platform for him to aland uputi, all 1 will yet be wsll. Such a man, I Mieve, they huvR in Gen.

Gen. Hagood having found his private interests conflicting with a consideration of his candidacy, there is now no difficulty in the way of the farmers from every section of the State uniting in support of Gen. Bratton, and, in truib, of nominating him without a struggle. Then, with a substantial platform, with Bratton supporting if, there would be no likelihood for a moment for the regular party Convention to ho^itute to endorse the action of the March Convention; and with a united Democracy in South Carolina, with all classes now re-united, all would be in preparation in the fall to hold ,u" ?? *?? f^rrntVior SciiirJ) ('arnlina I LUC l^ai LJ u/^viuwt MUM vwM.M v? for Cleveland and home rule in 18J2 For it is certain that if Tillman be presented to the party tor ratification as Governor be will be rejecttd.

Bobbin <fc Co. also manufacture pickling outfits the Wakefield Manufacturing Co. are also manufacturers of canning outfits?but T can recommend Robin & Co. as being me lowest in prices and they will give your people satisfaction. Yours very truly. j J. K. Calhoun*. i "What a luxury to have on our tabic j in the midst of \vinter the various fruits and vegetables, etaining all the richness and" flavor of their natural state before going into the can! Each year has marked some improve-! ment in the method of preparing1 the different varieties of food for canning1 until now with the various appliances j and improved machinery at command, | the careful packer is enabled to pre-! ' % * * - A ? - ~ 11 _ - j serve eacn article in nermeucany sealed cans to be opened months afterward. Yea even years. As good J rich and nice as when fi; st packed. Thus has the canning industry become one of the greatest of the* country employing thousands of hands and giving to the world food in convenient! packages which may be transported to the most remote corners of the globe. This is unquestionably the most important industry of Maryland in operation to-day, particularly when considering the immense force of workers it employs. The fruit and vegetable packing season commences in July and continues until October; in. +l>rt cnocmi wnnl/l liiC OUILIU tIJLV/ CVttCVH ?t V vnvi May and continue until November. About 750,000 people in the state of Maryland depend on this industry for a living in packing fruits, vegetables, oysters and etc. The labor employed in the packing trade is composed largely of women boys and girls. There' can be no more interesting sight tliau a visit to a large canning factory when in full operation. The mother with her entire family, the baby rolled in a blanket asleep tucked away on some convenient box; while she with her boys and girls are at work to procure "the means with which to support their home. It can be said there are no "hours of labor' about the packing house in the busy season, as they are at work 011 perishable goods which must be put up. Waues are mostlv mid bv piece work and vary according- to the article packed. In the south with plenty of fruits and vegetables of all kinds, abundance of "labor at command this industry would yield handsome profits. Heretofore "the machinery required for the business of canning was held at sucli priccs, that but few persons outside of this and a feunorthern states cared to make the venture. It was also hard to obtain the secret of the business, no one cared to give it away without a consideration, and it was necessary if one did go into the business to obtain a man who understood the process; but now an outfit can be had for $150 that lias a capacity of canning 2000 3-lb or 2750 2-lb cans per clay. The purchaser obtains with his outfit all necessary instruction as to putting up. and operating his own factory, gets all of the so-called secrets of thejbusiness, in fact in a very few days will be thoroughly familiar with its workings. Larger outfits <;an be had and can be operated by steam power or set in brick. I have just received a letter from a gentleman who wishes to .know how the dclicious flavor of the t^jto is retained and how can it be doneSqothoiit a previous knowledge. I will a**nyer this. The tomato is brought frolic field in bushel baskets, are theif^qmpQj jj? some convenient place near tm>^ai(}ing kettle: they_ are taken then an^ ^t ju the scalding basket (an iron D^et for the* purpose:) the scalder theu"NiipS i them into the scalding kettle here they remain three minutes the basket is lifted out and emptied on the peelingtable. The process just gone throng with is done for the easy removal of the skins, here the peelers remove the skins. They are then passed to the packers where they are packed in the cans, then passed to the capper who puts the cap (or top) on the can, but leaving a small hole in the centre of the cap as an exhaust. After leav"? ? Aw A?A in 1I1JJ" Uie I !iCJ JJV LV iuc mail Ail charge of ihe kettles who places them in a wire cage suspended by a crane; they are then lowered into the exhaust kettle and allowed to remain ten minutes. Thus the cold air is exhausted by means of the little hole in center of cap; after exhausting the cage is swung around to the capper or tipper who closes up the little hole thus it is hermetically sealed. The cans are now placed in the process - ?^ ? ?? ? J il.A r*i?A/?Af? A1? cagc aiiu luwcruu imv uw ui cooking kettle,here they remain twentyfive minutes. After going- through -with this, the last process, the tomato is ready te go on the market with tlie exception of putting 011 the label. Absolutely nothing is used to flavor the tomato the native flavor being retained. Some packers use a teaspoon fulJ of salt with each can packed, but the majority use nothing. Other vegetables are even more simple in their preparation so arc fruits, which require very little processing. Fruits and vegetabhs can be packed just as well in your section as here in Maryland. As "to Us paying there is no doubt. Just a few days since I was speaking; to one of our foremost farmers, this j is what he says about the canning I business. I find the canning business j profitable and have made money; it I pays me better to put my produce in ! cans don't care to ship. Your farmers j will find it will pay them, the early j markets offer inducements to truckers, i but they run the risk in early planting J and very often loose heavily. AVith j the canning industry their crops could be planted after all dangers of frost were over and realize more per acre than they now do. Canning mfU'hinprv is sinmle comnosed. I as it were, of scalding, exhaust and i process kettles. Scalding, baskets exhaust and process cages (reeepticles for containing the fruit in the various stages as described) then a crane for handling these cages, fire pots soldering tins ancl etc. for a factory of 2000 31b cans per day it would require about twelve hands, three men, the women or children. An out it to can 5,000 or 10,000 cans per day ;ould be had at a small aditional cost, ^ans can be bought 2.35 per hundred :or 31b; $1.80 for 21b.; labels are $1.50 tnd $1.75 per thousand any brand vith name of packer. The 3ib can is nostly used for putting up tomatoes, with or without syrup. Machinery can be utilized for tilling the cans with tomatoes, corn and etc., but as a general thing this is done by hand. Machinery is also used for "silking :md removing the corn from the cob. There is also a pea huller and seperator for canning peas. Tomatoes as a general thing pay better than anv vegetablc packed, and this season they arc bringing better prices than in some time. Last season the pack was short and prices will rapidly advance. Any kind of vegetables will pay. American canned goods are now largely exported and the foreign demand is increasing every year. There has been iarge shipments made recently to South and Central America and other foreign markets. If the south packed a sufficient quantity to supply her own demand, it" would require a very large number of packers. If some one of your farmers declared his intentions of goin5 into the business, he would even if lie did not raise the stuff himself have ! all the stock he -wanted in Maryland. From 20 to 30 cents per bushel paid for tomatoes, and when considering j from 200 to G09 bushels are raised to tho acre it navs well. One can raise his own stock. One bushel of tomatoes will pack IS 31b. cans. The most popular varieties for canning are the "New Queen,"' "Paragon" and "Acme." Let your farmers look into the matter:" Put "in a few acres of vegetables and i try the canning business. It will give [employment to your people | and encourage home industries. I | will be glad to give farther information if desired. J. If. Calhoun. j P. S. Those interested could write | to A. K.
