Abuse and ealmuuv have been considered as very efficient wea pons in advocating any political doctrine. Just now, the no powerful j weapon, laughter, has been used with apparently great sticcoss. Whether the cau^e of truth is advanced, we are : very much in doubt, but if tiae laugh i goes against a speaker, his advocacy ] fall* to the ground. We ail pretend 1 to seek and love the truth, but a gowd laugh puts to flight many wise savings and destroys tinny structures of thought. The Farmers' Institute. The FarrnyiV Intitule will be held on the tir?t Tuesday and Wednesday ?f November next. This will be the fourth meeting of the Institute and we hope it will be as well attended and the exhibits be as lull and various as maainmc Thiii hrilicrinu" at lis JUi 11411 Ail^VUU^o* Atltv V *?9>-a of our people tegether 1* rivalry is the art of production Las an advantage far beyond the premiums be stowed. The science or art of agriculture is of all branches of human industry the one we are most ignorant ?of. The value of knowledge consists in the quality of precision and this quality we need especially in agriculture. "What will the harvest be", is continually tbe question of the farmer. The factors of rain, sunshine, moisture and cold cannot be held down to mathematical quantity?s> rauch is thin tbe case, that the proverb current with Solomon is applicable to-day, "he that rcjrardeth tiie clouds shall not reap". The best manner yf advancing agriculture is by companion of the practical results obtained round about us. What cnu be produced here, at our doors, in our lields, is of the most value to us. This mode of bringing from different parts of our county its various productions make us realize the wonderful variety nature has given us?makes one persou who has failed in one crop take neari at uie success of another person in a different crop. The social pleasure of meeting together aud exchanging; idea* and ask?f iug about and caring for one another's welfare gives new zest to life aud makes many self-imposed burden of anxiety fall from one's shoulders. Besides, tae producer, the man who has brought iato being a natural product, has a right t? feel pride and satisfaction at bis sncce??. Bob Ingersoil says, "A man who has done a decent action wants to tell it". If this be so, 'tis certainly natural and moat conmendable in a man to want to communicate his knowledge of and power over nature. We wish much success to the Institute and b#lieve that our people will help it forward as a useful and pleasure giving organization auiong us. STRAWS FROX STKOTUEK. Strother. S. (J., Sept. 17.?Special: After the cold,{dreary, damp summer, wbicb we can never forger, we have never seen more *ieligl:tlul weather than the golden days e>f the past week: Tve caji safely say that autum has begun vrith weather which stirs tiie blood like wine. With the exception of a few weeks of hot weather, we cannot recall anything that would justify us in complaining of enervating weather, j Comparatively speaking we have not had the summer to which South Caroliaians look forward with dread. Not one ofour farmers iu this section has sold cotten, and we fear the "fleecy staple*' will be scarce, and the price is utterly discouraging. Mr. A. W. Ladd gave a picuic an<2 pound party on the eveningot the 9th,; to which the world and his wife (in a limited sense) were invited. With j good music, a supper that would have j done credit to Harver, the most hospi- j tabls of hosts and hostesses, why I should it not have been a grand success ] in every sense of the term. Miss Sue j Owings assisted her sister in the : general details of the occasion, and all j who attended will find the reiaem- J brance of it a never-failing source ?f ! pleasure. So enlivening was the music that Mr. Ladd and Dr. Arnette tripped j "the light fantastic toe" i There seem to be a great many cases j of malarial troubles. Mr. Jimmio j Blair was ill for weeks. Dr. Arne:te ' >v;is UUUIlUg III liis .lUCiiuuuc, auu .<11, iJ. is now convalescent. Miss Ella James has endured un-' told agony from a felon on hrr left iinnd.

At one time I Dr. Provence feared that the ampti- j tation ot'a linger was unavoidable, but J now hopes that difficulty can be ob- i yiated.

W is at h Former Citizen ha* to *:iy of Atlanta. Atlanta, Ga., September 22.? Special: I will give you1* many readers u brief synopsis of the marvelous growth and commercial importance of the (Jute City of the South. On every hand art; visible the perseverance and energy that goes to make Atlanta the most progressive city in the South. Her wholesale merchants do an extensive business, both in the city and the surrounding country. ' i">?i iftovtio/1 l?v fniivfrsimr with some of the railroad officials that freight on the various roads running to and from the city are not near so volumi; nous as has been heretofore at this season of the year; some attribute it to the economy that is being practiced by : the farmers of Georgia and elsewhere. | Notwithstanding that one impediment to the future prosperity of the city, ; her enterprising business men are Making strenous effort to help her in the front rank of the most cnterprisj ing business centres. The Legislature, I which has been in session since the I 8th of August, has not yet adjourned; ; some of the members say it. will per! haps not adjourn within a month. I ; ain not familiar with the laws that I have been enacted by the present session except one <*r two. The State hns imposed an additional license of $iU0 on ail whiskey retailers in the State. Your correspondent h:ul the pleasure of hearing (.ol. L. F., the president of the State Alliance, address tin: j members of both houses of the Legj islature. lie dwelt ?n some of the j important questions, some of which I will mention. The disposition ?uf the State press to misrepresent him on some of the leading questions. He also refuted the false report of his having- recently affiliated himself witli j the Third Party and expressed himsell I as being strenuously opposed to the j new political movement. He also ! dwelt to some extent on unity and cooperation among the white people, in order to maintain white supremacy and an economically administered State government; otherwise we might be named Dennis, aud driven to the I wall by the ignorant masses we have ! to contend with and whose name i would then be Eli. The Colonel also ; deroteci some time to an explanation j of the sub-treasury and other in.porI tant measures. He was repeatedly | applauded during' the delivery of his i speech. While listening' to the speaking yeui correspondent's attention was called j to the presence of Sara Jones, wh? was standing near by in the door of the ! hall. The writer had ncrer before j seen the famous preacher, but at once ! agreed that lie bore a faint resemblance i t? Gov. Tillman. The outlines of hi? I visage countenance would impress the most casual observer, that he is a man of indomitable will, energy and determination. The visitor cannot help being attracted by the appearance of the new capitol buildings, which 1 am told were : built on the same stvie of the National ! Capitol, and is certainly a magnificent I piece of architecture and cost the State j over $1,000,000. While strolling through the different departments ot the building the writer chanced tu observe some very large oil paintings, life size, and on entering the room distinguished them separately, as George "Washington, Alexander Stephens and How el! Cobb, who wa.? | once .speaker or congress, unci x?en j Hill. That of Stephens represented hiwi in his invalid wheel chair, witli pen in hand and manuscript on j I table in front of him. That of Hill | was more striking in appearence, i standing erect with arm elevated above 'hisheadand index linger pointing tc ! the Heavens, as if he was making an ! appropriate gesture during the dej livory of a sublime oration, or in the j excitement of a political discussion | during his term ??f service in the Sen! ate. lie was the most entrepid dej claiiner a*d eloquent speaker that ever sat iti that august assembly of representative American statesmen, a man who was worthy to have been called the peer of Calhoun, Clay and Webster, for it was he who rose triumphant in the American Senate and j crushed the injurious Yankee down ; with his burning work of eloquence, j and wrote those notes that kindled the i tires of hope here and elsewhere. I j fear vour many readers will think me i rather eulogistic, but I cannot forbear ! writing as I have written. He who I woukfnot be enthused with patriotism i whil? standing in the presence of that | group of pictures of distinguished I ia?n who did so much for both Church j aad Stat# would certainly be very ' tallous-hearted; men who shed a lust re [ over all with whom they came in coni tact, and left their impress indelliabiy i upon the minds of the American ! people. j However, I have deviated from the course I intend to pursue in this article. There eeenas to be som? dissatisfaction on account of the present ! Legislature not accepting the soldiers' houso. 1 have not yet seen the house, but have heard it spoken of very highly by ?everal who have visited it, for which the old veterans are very much indebted to toe lamented 11. >v . Grady, who -was most instrumental with both pen and voice .in formulating: a plan by which the disabled soldiers might be cared for in their declining years, "Peace on earth and good will to all men" would be an appropriate epitaph to inscribe on his tomb, for his whole life-work was devoted to the alleviation of the oppressed condition of his unfortunate fello\vinan. now dead in one sense of the word, but yet liveth in the hearts of his countrymen, for his name is a synonym in every household of the Empire State of the Soutn. The visitor cannot help being impressed with the hurry of the people to and fro as they pass up and down ihe streets on errands of business; they walk or drive as if time wa< precious. They also have the be>t railroad and street car facilities. Electricity i< now taking the place of the mule in the street car traffic. Every important street in the city has a line of street ears thai are propelled between their respective places by electricity. It is almost useless to fay anything of the splendid railroad facilities of which all are aware. The ?ini1 aI't):/?!"?! road, which will be another trunk line fr?m North to South ami EasttoWesf, will be completed by Christmas and will be a competing' line with th? A C. division of the 1(. & D. railroad. For fear I have tresspassed 011 your valuable space, [ will not write any more, for this is my first at writing a discripttVe letter and hope this effort. though however incorrect it may be. will not be a contribution to the waste basket. 1:. 1:. .1. Children Cry for_ Pitcher's Castorla. JEFFA KES REPLIES TO PLEHS. Messrs. EditorI have recently seen i :ia issue of the Advocate in which j there i> an article from Mr. I'Jcbs in reply to my last communication in j Tiik Xkaws axi> Herald. Mr. Plebs i pars lie cannot s?'-e wherein he has misi represented n;?-. I will explain, if pos<ihle, wherein iho mi-representaj tion originated. I si i lie commence* | ment ot hU tir.-t article he ?:tid that I ! nad branded some of the demand of the Alliance as i:iiqui:ous. I admit j that construction; for to Use a dramatical expression would be in the singular I number and wnald not include all the ! demands, and ?i little further on in his I | first pices he says a* a useuibur o? the | Alliance he wished t? take i.-.-ue with ' me, when j:> lie said I branded the ! demand.-* of the order as Iniquitous j and putting the latter expression in th'" plural number ansi thus leaving (the public 10 draw their inference I from i!.e latter, hs well as the formtr j sentence. Mr. Pleb* says, in answer ! ing his questions, I have asked him ! some also, and I aw very sorry he did i | not answer my questions explicitly? j : | the first one 1 wiil quote here in order j that it may be easily understood. I Does the sub-treasury propose to make ! any provisions for the man who has 1 j no landed property to give as collat-1 jerai? Mr. Plrbs srys the demand of! j the Alliance known as the sub-treasury i i is not intended to benefit any particu! lar persons, be they rich or poor, but' > I if carried out as contemplated all classes will fee! the influence." Of , course all classes will feel the influence, but just here let me ask what ; eflect will that influence have? Can ' you solve the question? I fear that %ou will not explain it as definitely as [ j i would like to have it, consequently ; i 1 will give my opinion ?fine ali! absorbing i?su? which is now agitating ! t tie minds some ot our most pro-1 1 " 1 *' l ciiinn wlm :iro . . roaiia liiiuM'i aiiki i4i.-v .JV...V .. ? : not doing unicl) practical thinking or .' workim: either, but vrho are just ready ! and wiiling to believe every constructiou t!ie>e leather-tongued orators arej . putting' on the sub-treasury, in the i way of issuing money directly from .

Now there are a large per cent of the land already under tnodgigc, and . ; there is also a lur?tr per cent of I'ariueis that would not Miortjagi! their land on . any conditions. consequently tV*ui 'lie above statements y#?u can very easily i infer that then: are three classes ot ' farmers that ?ould not receive any money under the land moifga?e s\*?I tern. New is it just and proper t* compel tho.?e thi>e classes to pay an ' indirect, tax to the government for ' building the warehouses tor which the ! bill provides? Is that equal rights to all and special privileges to none? ' Now, Mr. Plcbs, there is a large per | cent of farmers who work their own land and alter hiring their labor atul paving the current expenses of their | farms would not, if eighty per rent of their er?ps were left to them, be able to pay the expenses incurred in mak| ingthe crop and then hare enough left [ to buy the supplier that their families ate compelled to have, as I have already said, from October to March. They could not do otherwise than sell at its market value, would tiixr class be bftiifiiited bv the i>ronosed legislation? Of coui8!.', there is not enough ui?ney in circulation to handle the great crops that are made, but, mr friend, if there were only tour in place of eighr million hales of cotton made, we would eventually get as much uionoy for four million as we are now getting for eight million bale?1. The law of supply and demand regu{ late the price of cotton to some extent, I et me illustrate as follows: Suppose | I have ten melons for sale and there is ' twenty men who can eon Mime the i whole ten, atid I ask 25 cents for each : melon I will realize $2.50, but it there i ia> only ten meu thai will consume live j melons, why of course I would then I only realize SI.25, and thus you see I that theory would hold good in regard to the amount of money we receive for i our cotton crop. And L say if there, i was only four million bales of cotton I made the capitalist would be hunting i it, and we would not be compelled to sell it on a glutted market at a sacri| fice. Mr. Plebs quotes Mr. Edward At; kinson to some extent. Now any j man who contracts to deliver 100 I bushels of grain for a debt and by act | of Congress is enabled to settle it for j 75 bushels is a knave and apolitical { demagogue, lie think* the trick of i paying debts with 75cet< ?n ihe dollar j of silver under unlimited free coinage i ! legal tender standard dollars would : soon he found out. AH 5his mean* i i that unlimited free coinage of ?ilrer, j in Mr. Atkinson's opinion, is a con-1 ! s pi racy on tuc part of a few citizens | | to swindle the whole country and that | the conspiracy did not succeed. He | i to* loses sight of the prestidiginarun j trick ot Kinblcniatical legal tender j i paper ami storage, both concomitants j I in th" common swindle proposed, ami. ; which Mr. Atkinson wouid pronounce ! an economic robbery of the people, not equaled in anv of their previous j currency alllictions. 1 nr? one J will think 1 am opposed to !iee coinage j of silver, a> I saul heretofore; 1 am in ! i favor of free coinage if it can be made j j at par with gold. Some time ago the general govern-1 ! incut called in a certain number of \ dollars, ami issued in their stead silver j bills. Why could the yovornmenf not I let that siiyer stay in the hunds of the j people ami i->ue >ilv.er bills to tiio poor I | farmers uuon their farm products? i Why, my friend, the. government is no: j j going to take up any one class of men i j and go arm in arm with them and ; make a scene almost like that of Romeo j and .luliet on the stage. ; "Will the sub-treasury not hold the grain until the Southern farmer is squeezed'' ami then will that shut out nil opportunity for the capitalist to Costiv Becomes chronic, if the ;.roper mod- of treata purgatives only tend to weaken the towels am j and most effective aperient is Ayer's Pills, thi \ the bowels and strengthens the whole digestiv " Having lii-'-n subject, for years, to constipation. without bt-ing able to find much relief, I at last tried Ayer's Pills, and I deem it both a duty and a pleasure to te>tifv that I have derived great benefit from their use.

It is very unfortunate and ought not to be so; but it is nevertheless true that we of the South are, to a very great extent, ucpemiew on tlie grain-growers of the Northwest for our daily food. Would it be wisp for us, through ur representatives in Congress, to assist that section in getting a measure enacted that would enable its farmers to deposit their grain in Government warehouses, and deprive ns of it until we arc forced to pay fancy prices for it? 1 lave tliev heretofore proved such disinterested friends of the South that we could afford to trust them with such a power over us? Were they not among the most energetic and persevering in the prosecution of the war, and in hewing their way through to the Gulf? Have they not generally been among the most relentless partisans against the South since the war closed? Did they not just last year assist in passing that infamous sectional tariffbill, known as the McKinley bill? And did we not hare a special I>roof ?f their liberality and good faith towards the South" last year in the United States Senate, when our i Southern Senators joined them in securing free twine i'or their grain and when their Senators refused to join ours in securing free bagging or free ties for our cotton? Now, Mr. Plebs, the sub-treasury men say. Oh! just let the Government issue more money, and the tariff will be a thing of the past. I)o they ever stop talking and just think for one moment the amount we are paying indirectly to the manufacturer every time we buy an article? Let us take statistics, and ligures never lie. Be1 - ? ^ *ii - , 3 tore the recent tarin uin was passcu. ! there was already a duty on cotton j lies;, and almost every other article we consumed, that bill put an additional tarift'tax on cotton ties to the amount ! of twenty-live cents per hale, now for the calculation at eight millions bales, which would amount to $2,000,000. . Just think of that, my friend, if those Northwestern men had been so intensely interested in our future welfare they would hare recipro. cated by giving us that and several other articles free ?f duty. And by that we would have had several mil! lion more dollars as a circulating medium in the South. If Mr. Plebs | wants to know how that evil can be removed, I'll give him my opinion in | my next communication. lie seems ; t0 have been very much amused at ! some of the sentiments my letter centaiued; I will say this in regard to i some of the answers he ga ve to some | of my questions?that they were certainly very inconsistent with the question I asked and I was somewhat amazed at the answers he gave for thev were almost transparent to say the best you can of them. My friend seems to think the negro is no longer a dangerous ciemem in pontics. 1 cannot agree witli him; the negro is yet a potent factor in American politics and will remain so as long as the national Republican party is in power. The negro is both imitative and submissive, but not inventive, and the superiority of the white race over the black is not transient and artificial, but permanent and real and I will do as much as anybody to maintain white supremacy, however, that is aside from the subject at issue. I will not write much more in this article. In conclusion I will say that we should all have consolation to know that there is neither rank nor prerogative nor station in the republic of the grave. At this final threshhokl the philosoher ceases to be wise, and the song of the poet is silent. The rich man relinquishes his millions and poor man his rags. The poor man is as rich as the rich man and the rich man is as poor as the pauper. The debtor is acquitted of his obligation and the invalid need no physician, and the labourer re-.ts from unrequited toil. ^\'e are fast shuffling oft" the stage of human action and. here at last is nature's final decree in the laws of equity.

Editors: You would oblige j j me by publishing the following parts j ' | of a communication to the Atlanta! Constitution by Rev. Sam Jones. It is : chock-full of hard horse-sense, a com-1 modity that ought to be brought to I . the front these record breaking times, j G. 1L McMastek. 1 j The Vanderbuilt and Pennsylvania j , j railroads combine a network of rail-; ! j roads stretching almost orer half the United States, give the best equipped j i lines, the fastest trains, the most, rea- j : soiuible rates of anv railroad in the I { world. "What the South needs is not I the dismemberment of railroads ami j the bankruptcy of her corporations, j but such friendly consideration and j wise legislation as will conserve their j interest and develop their resources j until the southern states shall have as ; magnificent railroads as New York, j Pennsylvania, Ohio. Illinois, etc. I may not have eyes to see rightly ! nor ears to hear wisely, but surely I! have had opportunity to see and hear, as I have covered most of tiie ground; from Maine to California, and Canada ( to the gulf. I am candid when 1 say j that this warfare on our railroads and I corporations have done us infinitely j more harm than all other things com- > bined, for when you depress and ham- j mer down southern securities to the! point where our bankers cannot hy-j pothecate them in New York to get! money to move our cotton crop, then j it's time to call a halt.

Editor, because they were | on iny mind and heart. I pav more fare to railroads than any private (citizen in this couutry, and had rather pay fare on first-class railroads than I go free on those where accident in! surance is necessary. J know it is unwise to push this I battle further against railroads, and . if those in authority shall think and I tinio [ .id nnil will de ! monstrate who was wise and who was i foolish. Yours truly, Sam P. Joxks. j J P. S.?These times of stringency j will soon pass away, and wise lefis-1 lation and friendly relations will usher upon the South an era of prosperity such as no section under the sun ever leajoyed. Let's treat railroads and all J other corporations as we would private ' individuals, remembering' that right is I stronger than might, and that "wisdom, ; justice and moderation" arc the three j pillars on which our constitution and I laws must rest. s. i\ j. ] ?-'I think the intensive system of i | tanning is Ihe tanners only remedy.
