TiFk recent revelation of the Greenville
Xetcs is getting decidedly mixed.
It is now simple a question of veracity
between the gentlemen concerned.
liKKi/s absence from the House on
Wednesday was the occassion of ai>]>
ause. What a relief it must, have
l>een to be rid of the tv rant even for a
few days.
Thk famous Lodge bill has been
shelved. So this is to be one of the
principal issues in the election of Representatives.
The Democrats can well
afford to go into tin* campaign on such
an issue.

Thk ^election of Col. Coward a?

one and an honor deserved by him.
Col. Coward once poccessfu'lv managed
the King'* Mountain Military

quite a reputation, and it is believed
that under his administration the Citadel

It is a very deplorable that the two
Eurtions of the Democratic party can't
K:ct some settlement of the differences
Which now divide the decent; white
flcople f Fairfield County into two
Jnrarring and bitter factions. It is
It rue there are weighty legul differences
which now severs the ties which should
bind the Democratic party in this
county, but, rather than cling to the
nicety of a legal position, many meu
on each side are willing to forego their
convictions with the hope of restoring
the harmony and peace of the party
that once ruled with honor and unsevering
integrity. The situation now,
since the failure of the joint meeting
of the committees appointed by the
respective conventions, to arrive at
any just ana equuaoie adjustment, is
an exceedingly gloouiy one and must
.be regretted by every conservative
and patriotic man. Upon the committees
depended a matter of stupendous
impartaire?Hie supremacy of
the Anglo-Saxon race with all of the
solemnity that the expression carries
with it. Without such a rule the future,
without a single speculative
^ theory to the contrary, must be fraught
with serious and utter ruin to the race
which is justly entitled to the control
of the government. Upon those who
shall reject anything looking to a
compromise must rest the responsibility
of a complete metaphorphosis in
our political bearing. This change in
the ]>olitical atmosphere is a new one

recall that jn^t one hundred \ ears ago, i

! founded the cotton inuntifacMirinij 111j
dustrv in this country by building a
j mill at Pawtuckel with three carding
michines and 72 spindles. At that date
thi? wa? perhap* the only cotton mill
in this country, ami in the same\ear
the fir-t su?*ce?sfu! crop in South Carolina
was ma le by William Ediott on
his farm at Hilton II- ad. Ei?ht>-oue
' h.ilos were exported to England in
j 1790. Six \ears previous 1781, *-i?ht
! ba?r< ?f cotion shipped to England
j were se'z-d, on the ground that *o
i inn:h cotton could not be produced in
(he Unitc-d States. Of the 7,311,322

i it w }?. Imnr-il that some adiust
" " " ~"* ""l
| merit may be arrived at whereby the
divided Democracy of the county may
come together and harmony be restored
once more. There is evidently an
earnest desire on the part of the conservative
thinking men on l>ofh sides
to have the breach healed and the white
people all brought under one acknowledged
head. This can be done if a
spirit of urn u:il concession be brought
to bear bv both sides. While (he
| recent conference committees may not
j have been able to settle the differences
j we feel assured that if time is allowed
j for the feelings engendered iu the hot
campaign through which we have
passed to cool oft' tome plan will be
formed whereby the factions may be
brought together. This can be given
| :f the primaries are postponed,
j The State issue will very soon
be eliminated ami as the present
complications have grown out of
differences in regard to that part of
the campaign, with a little time
for reflection and cooling off,
we believe we will come together.
The general election is sixty days oft",
so that there is no necessity for hastening
the primaries. AVe hope the Executive
Committee, which meets to-day,
will postpone the primary and give
the party time to unite. This we
, believe is desired by the rank and
file of each faction.
Two Hard Lick# at Cotton Farmer*.
I Ii rraMy serins tiiat the Republican
ui 0<>iiiy >" Cousri-ss is determined to
do what it can to oppress the Southern
cotton farmer in the way of pass1
ing laws discriminating against him.
' Cotton tics are used exclusively by
' - iimer.? ami any measure increasing
the cost of this aiiit.-.'o
fall directly upon that class. During
' " !.? .... il>a
liju ICUCiit ucuaic iu mi; ucuait vu lut
' tariff on ties Senator Butler developed
: the fact that the new tariff bill will in'
urease the cost of cotton tits .$'lt0">0,000.
That is to say the ties used to
pack the cotton crop, after the passage
of the bill, will cost the cotton
r fanners over a million dollars more
I ihav lor tue preceding crop. The
L Sena/.or also expo.M:d the fact that this
. increase in the t?.< collected on th;.s
itom ffiij mad* 1?\ ili?* r.iinniitff-P with
. out a single petit ion <>r request from
. anybody.. There was no demand for
the increase because no tie- are manufactured
in this country and theic are
no infant factories to protect. This is
a gratuitous act on the part of .he Republican
Committe to oppress one of
the most important agricultural pur1
suits in the country. The Government
! docs not need the increase in revenue
so there is not iwn that exen-e lor it.
Tlie tax will amount to prohioitiou
and it is tor the purpose, pet haps, of
, inducing Americano to niunufaciure
tits that the tax is put on, and the
i;uuun piumi'i uiu\ uc
: fronted by a cotton-tic trust as graspinof
a> t lie jure trust.
Again, the passage of the compound
laid bill is a direct thrust ai the cotton
rai-er. Within the ks; lew \ears it
ha> become known that cotton seed
oil is valuable as a substitute for hog
lard in the manufacture of which it is
extensively u*ed. CVrtihcstes from
some ol the most t mineut physicians
have been given to show that cotton
seed oil is the most wholesome of ail
vegetable oils, being an exc-llent
article of food. But this oil has come
in competition with hog lard and
something must be done, so the Republicans
say, protect the hog raisers,
and the compound lard bill has
b^en trnmpcd up for this purpose, and
what has become a lucrative business
in the South must be prohibited lo
keep alive the comparatively few hng
meit; and cotton seed, a large product
of the Southern farm, will be largely
reduced in value.
But this is no! all. The reason hog
raiting has become unprofitable is be
cau>t the hi^h tariff laws of these same
liepublicaus have caused some of the
J European countries to pass retaliatory
law* which prohibit the importation oi
American h'?g products. This of
course reduces the cleman.l for ho#
lard and cotton seed oil lard is now to
be driven out to create a home m trket
for the product of the hojj raisers.
Allowing the cotton crop of the
Southern States to be seven million
oaies wun iweiuy mjvcii uusuets u iue
bale, 1S9,003,00<> bushels of col ton
seed will be m ;de. The passage ot
the compound lard bill will reduce the
price of seed at least live cents per
bushel and the loss to the fanners will
be $9,453,000 To this aid the increased
tax on ties and we (iud that
the*e two bill* will c ?st the cotton
planters ten and a halt'million dollars.
L?t us see what is the effect in Fa:r
neld. There ai e uDoui ou,i>vu Dales or

the inrreuse in the c.>tton-tie tax will

The cotton season is now open, and
picking is in full progress. Several
bales have been sold from this section,
and it continues to open rapidly,
though the weather for the past week
lias been sulky with daily showers.
It is believed the cotton crop will be
an average. Pea vines are very vigorous,
but whether they will yiel I well
is doubted
From the report of one of our neighbors,
his potato crop is something
remarkable. He says the ground has
been raised about six inches from the
potatoes. Mi rub He dicta.

J fexsn. Edit or a: Jn the quitude of
early morning; we feel an irresistible
impulse to dot down a few items.
We have had frequent and copious
rains, and farmers apprehend rust in
their cotton, and it has actually appeared
in many places, but we hope the
plant i> not seriously injured.
On Wednesday night we were visited
by a furious rain and wind storm.
We were forcibly reminded of the
cyclone. No damage was done, except
the injury to the open cotton which
was blown out to a considerable extent.
There art many cases of malaria
troubles in our section, but not many
fatal so far.
"We wish to record the death of Jim

of Mr. George B. Pearson. For

The political excitement has subsided

position. Itsaieais s<mothing more
than 9U0 square miles.
Topographically, the conniry is divided
into three di-i inet sections, each
having decidedly difl'-ring charactcisties.
Thy western poiii??n of the c(uni\ is
farmiliarly known as ihe 4 IMney

diflereiit kinds ol oak, hickory, etc,

are undulating and soil more or less

are numerous. This sec ion is healthy
and settled by thrifty, prosperous, intelligent
and contented people. Its
wealth of timber is almost boundless,
besides the lands are well adoplcd tc

and cotton, and is the best part of the

The beautiful anil majestic livers, the
Saline and Guchita, bound this section
on ihe west and northwest, affording
ample flipping facilities, and the
extensive canebrakes on the Saline,
will aflbrd winter pasturage for the
cattle tpon a "thousand hills'' loi
many years to come*
The eastern boiuwlsry of the section
lust desciibc* is a line sharply deiiliniu^iWdillereuce
between it and
*tne prarie lands, which you entei
about four miles west of Hamburg,
the county seat, a beautiful little town
of about 1200 inhabitants, well supplied
with good schools, churches, etc.
where a lively business is carried on
in the mercantile line at all seasons.
Leaving the town and still facing
eastward, there stretching away in
that direction, and extendi nor "from
north to smth across the entire length
of the country, is a broad level plateau
known as the "pr&rie region." But it
must not be inferred from this that all
this section is an open plain; k> tar
from it only about So per cenr. of its
area is prarie. The remaining portions
are covered with a fiue growth
of oak, hickory, pines, dogwood and
other southern limber. But anciently
the whole region was one vast boundless
prarie. Scattered about in spots
are several large praries designated a<
ltound, Pine, Fountain, Smith's, and
Twin praries, and many smaller ones
all bearing some special name. Thesu
lie embedded in this section like
islands scattered about in a sea, yr
rather like weving lakes hemmed in
by the great woods. They are covered
annually with thick coats of wild grass
and adorned with flowers of every- discretion
and hue. This region has
magnificent advantages for slock raising.
The fat cattle now found browsing
its wide acres, and the thousands
that this country has lately contributed
to the surrounding markets bare ample
proof of this statement. Fifty thousand
tons of hay might be cut from the
public lands of this pari of the county,
costing nothing but the labor of saving
it. Thi< section has within its
bounds nearly 250,000 acrcs every foot
of which is available for tillage or
pasturage. It 1$ penetrated it; every
direction by small water courses,
which, however, dry up in holes in the
summer, but usually affording ample
water for stock. There are many
small farms in this belt, some of theui
very fertile and fruitful, but not more
than one-twentieth of its area is under
cultivation.
Leaving the praric di>trict and still
facing the rising sun, ws begin to decend
what is familiarly known here as
the "over fl >w hills," ih*? western
boundary of the alluvial district as
I magnificent a farming country as there
is in the world. Hut to give a ju-t
discretion of this section would make
this aaticle too long1, ?o will leave it
for another writing.
In the two sections we have hastily
sketched over the price of lands is
very low, and there are thousands of
acres still open to pre-emption or
homestead under the United States or
State laws, which will cost the settler
hut a trifling sum Or if it i? preferred
the United States lands can be
bought lor $1.25 and the State l.?nds
for fifty cents per acre. This soil is
fairly rich, the climate is mild aud
genial, game is abundant and of great
variety, fishing is good, and the only
perccptable drawback to the country
is a lack ot railroads, and from the
number of surveys recently made
t'irough here, it h to be hoped that
this (tendering cause to the national
progress of tlis county will no longer
exist. Then immigration will pour
intn this njirt of the Slate. This yreat
forest will be cut down, and the wonderful
natural advances of this grand
country will be uielizef*. More railroad-,
more people with more money
ami more energy is what is nveded
here.
