Aftei: all tlie farmers will plant a

Many of the counties haTe begun
work on their arch for the Columbia
Centennial. What is Fairfield doing?
Nothing ?
The President's 0.000 mile swing
can't help him. Very probably in
?92 this 9,000 mile swing will be iepeatcd,
in a wholly different way
though ? he wiii be swung 9,00-0 miles
or mure trorn the White House?and
Mr. Cleveland will be swung in.
Wiiex it was a question whether
any county intended to erect an arch
" *"? at the Columbia Centennial, Fairfield
might have been e.\cu?ed for apathy.
But now that many otner counties
have made arrangemrnts to erect such
memorial? it wouM be a disgrace for
Fairfield to l?e conspicuous by absence.
It U stated thai Senator Irby has
withdrawn his influence t? secure the
Industrial School for Laurens because
Gen. A. C. Haskell was invited to deliver
an address before one of the
schools in Laurens next June. Poli
tics is one thing:, and business is hii- I
other. There is something small
about that sort of conduct.
The Italians are having a hard time
in Atneiica just now. The massacre
in Xew Orleans was hardly over before
an Italian was brutally killed in
CharJctte, by a negro, and a race riot
was almost precipitated thereby between
the whites and blacks. It is
difficult to understand from the newspaper*
exactly how the state of aftairs
was produced in Charlotte. The na
tive citizens are very indignant ana it
is stated threatened to lynch the negro.
TnE Marion Star apologises to Attorney
General Pope for having said
before his election that he was "a
lawyer." The apology is made because
the editor of the Star iinds he
unwittingly erred, and is convinced
of his mistake after reading- his argu-*
ment in the Coosaw ca?e. Our confam?uM">vc
tlinnl/1 hi>nr ill milirl that
as the Attorney General is a pretty
good politician he would not let such
a ?ood opportunity slip without a
little display of his 'Stump abilities"
especially when he knew that it would
likely be published.
Seize it by the Forelock.
"Opportunity has Hair in front, behind
she is bald; if you seize her by
V.a Am. a'/%/?!_ ? <*,? mov llAI* hilt
IUC ;wu tuu; wvi? uvi) J .
if suffered to escape, not Jupiter himself
can catch her again." ,
Winnsboio and Fairfield County
now have an opportunity presented
and it looks like it wiil not be seized
by "the forelock," and if we don't
exercise more agility it will be gone.
The town has an equal showing
with any in the State, and superior
chances to most of them, for getting
the Industrial School located here,
and jet the business men, though they
will admit that ii would be :t great
tbin^ fur them and the county, stand
with folded anus ami are severely
passive so far as doing- anything towards
seeming the school is concerned.
This i? :it?t said in rebuke or in an
unkindly spirit, but this sheet sent to
the homes of our readers and friends
from time to time would fall far short
of ifs mission if it did not seek to
arouse the public on questions that
concern the welfare and prosperity of
the community. We are painfully
conservative and cautious in Winns
bero, ana me sooner we cuscaiu some
of this unnecessary conservatism lluTwreti
with iithargy and indifterencc (
the better it will be for oh. We need
more ?f that bold, slijjhtlr reckless,
plucky spirit which enables men to
, win in 'he face of great odd-. Again,
we need persistence and indomitable
energy that will refuse to be abated
by any outside force. It is no use des
pairing anu (iccianug a lunig can i ue
done, w hen not a linger has beeu
raised to do it.
What we need right now, and need
it very badly too, is a systematic, organized
effort to get this school. It is
al! very well for an individual here
and there to say; "Weil I am in for
that reboot," but that alone will do
nothing towards securing it. The individuals
must be organized so that
there caw be a concert of action, and
then what they do will be received in
a great measure, as an index of the
public sentiment. Effective work cannot
be attained unless it is organized.
Now let's get down to work in this
matter, and 20 into it with the avowed
determination of winning. The opportunity
has come, seize it by the
forelock; or some other place will,
and nave us only the bald spot.

The Agricultural l ollc'so Fund. ]
Iu the mailer of the Congressional,
appropriation for Agricultural educa- j
lion in this State. Governor Tillman |
is clearly right and Secretary Noble j
all wrong. When our Legislature j
agreed to give one-half to Clemson and i
one-half to Claflin it made a perfectly
equitable division. While it is here
that there are more colored than white
children in the Stale, yet of those that
are able are likely in the near future
to avail themselves of college facilities
the whites are in a rerr large majority. I
An equal division of college funds is
therefore :i liberal provision.
There is quite another way of looking
st the matter, while the colored
children are in the majority in the 1
colored schools, the larger portion of
the common school tax is paid by the
whites. It can be fairly said that no
colored child in South Carolina is deferred
the privileges or school. Xow
all of this is a striking- proof of the liberality
of whites. If Secretary Noble
persists in his obstinacy he will prove
himself an enemy of the colored race,
by rousing a spirit of antagonism
among the whites which may lead
them to pat into operation the scheme
that has often been suggested of apportioning
to schools for each race
only that part of the tuoney that is
paid by it in taxes. In this case the
colored people, in gaining the shadow
of greater collegiate facilities would
lose the substance of fuller common
school advantages.
IIeret?fore the friends of education j
have succeeded in inducing a liberal
policy towards colored schools. Sec*
retary Noble will add increased difficulty
to their task.
We think it would be well for the
colored people of the State, to inform
the Secretary of the Interior that the
interests of education can best be subserved
by an acceptance of ihe proposition
of the Legislature. lie inay a3
well understand that he could not
coerce South Carolin, and his refusal
to accept the fund at all will only work
hardship to the colored people. Since
the whites are abundantly able and
willing to lake care of their own colleges.
"'orter On Southern Industries.
The most encouraging tribute and j
commentary on the growth of the
South in manufacturing enterprises is
contributed br Robert F. Porter,
Superintendent of the Census. It is
especially deserving of great consideration,
coming as it doe?, from a Republican
and from one in the position
of Porter, who has before him the data
which enables him to speak with acAc?
fiQfC ?\!V
VUiiW ?XO CilV f.'IMlV ? Cj >
Porter is not a Southern enthusiast,
but a Northern Republican, and the
manager of a bitter partisan paper in
New York." This augments the sig
nificance of the article written by the
Superintendendent of the ccnsus for
the Manufacturers' Record of this week.
The development in the coal, iron
ore and pig- iron has been amazing and
startles the world. Mr. Porter sayg
that his figures show that the South is
producing as much of these as the entire
United States did in 1870, and the
urohahilitv is that like nro^ress will
be made in the manufacture of st?el
within the next decade. IIo also calls
attention to the fact that this increased
derelopement will necessarily attract
a higher class of labor, and command
higher wages thus increasing the consuming
power of the South.
The greatest drawback now is that
many of the products have to be sent
to the North for further manipulation.
This, howersr, might be expected.
The progress in manufactures lias
been magical, but it is perfectly na
turai mat tJae &outn wouia not ue prepared
just now for the higher grade of
work. That will come in due time.
The remarkable growth of the South
is made appreciable when we are told
that Anniston, Ala., in 18S0 had a
population of only 042, but in 181)0 it
is returned at 9,876; while Birmingham
was actually unknown when the
census of 1870 was taken, but now has
something oyer 20,000 inhabitants.
Many other striking instances of this
kind are mentioned. When we add to
this the aew life and growth of almost
every city and town in the South,
while not as wonderful as Birmingham
and some others, it presents a
progress which the world ha* never
known before. Moreover, it is a j
healiuy ami stable growtn.
The development has not been
limited to the mineral resources. The
manufacture of cotton lias been almost
equally as marvelous. In 1880., 180,000
bales were consumed in the South,
while in 1890 it reaches as high as
407,000 bales.
The progress is exceedingly gratifying,
and all the more wonderful
bee.use it has been made under most
adrc'-c circumstances. j
iirover Cleveland.
>\ e sincerely trust iuat our peopie i
will not be led away frotii advocacy of I
Cleveland by the attacks of auy of our
leading men either in South Carolina
or elsewhere. Cleveland stands to-day
head and shoulder? ahead of every
other Democrat 111 popularity and in
the confidence of the people who are
not politician?. As proof of this we
ask our readers to pause and reflect
whom they would nominate were
Cleveland out of the race.
There wis a time when the man did
not count, and the election was deter-1
mined bv party allegiance. But this !
is ::ut true to-day. There arc in New i
York, New Jei>ey, Massachusetts, !
Rhode Island and Connecticut alone j
enough independent votes to throw the i
election either way. They elected j
Cleveland in 1SS4, because of Blaine's i
unsavory reputation, and they would j
have elected Cleveland again in spite !
of all of Quay's boodle had Harrison
not been personally pure and the free '

They will take Cleveland. Again the

catcd. In (his regard Cleveland has !
110 rival in the Democratic party ex- j
cept Carlisle and Mills and BreckenriJ^re,
who are barred by*sectional j
considerations.
As for Democratic success in the !
West it is very doubtful. Western
voters arc of the same character as j
| Southerners. They have had party j
ideas and prejudices deeply ingrained 1
into them. The majority are as natu- !
rally Republicans as the Southern i
whites are Democrats. Already we j
; see Allianccman McGrath, of Kansas, j
; threatening to return to the Republi- j
i can fold unless the Southern Alliance- j
: men join a third party, wmon ive ininK j
I it safe to say Southern Alliaucemen I
j will not do.
In this situation, to throw over i

I pendent vote of the Eastern and Mid-;
; die States at his back on a taritl' re
I form issue, and pick up some Western |
or Southern man in the hope of catch- j

j satisfaction to their supporters, and j

! defeat.
j A party that has lived a hundred
: years has a vitality anil lastingness i
(if we can use the word) about it that
will carry it through dangers and enable
it always to rally its members.
It is a trained and disciplined army.
A new party, formed of recruit?,
brought has'ily together, like militia,
may make an overwhelming dash,
but it is liable to melt away. Its issues
are ephemeral. No stigma attaches to
one for leaving it and returning to
lifelong allegiance to an old organization.
Whereas it is hard to change
from Democracy to Republicanism and
vice versa. |
Elect a president on the single issue
of silver, and when the bill is passed,
where will he be? No one knows.
John Tyler was picked up by Whigs
because of his oppofition to the more
liberal Democracy. When he became
President he outheralded Herod in his
war on Whig iuea>ur?s. Andrew
Johnson was picked up by the Republicans
tor a single merit in their eyes.
He was a Union man in Tennessee and
was needed to allure Southern Unionists.
When he became President he
was the veriest thorn in the flesh.
Let the Democrats go into battle
with fundamental Democratic principles
as their watery. Let them select
Grover Cleveland who has already
made his record, whose future policy
can be predicted with great certainty.
They can elect hitn if they can elect
anybody. We have not ranch faith in
their ability to clect any one else. He
will make a just President and a
strong one. He will give silver every
proper opportunity. He will advocate
what we believe to be the ou!v
possible measure to restore silver to
a proper relation with gold. And he
will not be a demagogue or time
server or fishy politician.
For all these reasons we earnestly
counsel our readers to stand earnestlv

Pain Proved to be Comparitive.
The Nineteenth Century has an article
in a recent number from the pen
of AV. Collier, dealing with the relative
sensitiveness to pain of the auiinal
kingdom. lie shows that as wedecend
the scale the sensations become more
blunted. Active brain workers are
most susceptible to pain. With pain
as a resultant, there of course exists
causes, and these are mainly dyspepsia,
general debility, loss of appetite, insomnia,
chronic malarial, taxannia,
blood poisoning, disordered liver and
kidney complaint. Nature has provii-la/1
