According to his own statement constable Elliott raided Mrs. Noltej? premises, in Charleston, at the suggestion of a negro and was under the influence of liquor at the tine. Is this the Governor's standard of gentility. To wiiat have we c:>?ne? A whiskey constable was convicted, after a fair irial, ot assaulting a white woman in Charleston and the Governor ot the State quickly pardons him. The manhood of thu old State should blush for I baaiui;. If "Bunch" ilcBee should happeu to be elected Governor, it would be mighiy hard to bamboozle him, for he has ali the secrets of the rabbit foot professiou at his fiugers end?. He ku?ws the business so thoroughly is why he to?k the old Bliuker in so easily. Thk Charlotte Observer says that more iutelectual activity is manifested in Charlotte and throughout the whole State than has been witnessed in twenty years. Charlotte is growing financially, and we are glad to Know that if. is improving not only materially, but intellectually. Material progress without a corresponding in ? tellectual growth produces the wo;st kind of narrowness. In spite of the hard times and discouraging outlook the new? comes that tae farmers hare gone to work in earnest looking only to the hope of the future. There is something iu the newly turned soil which brings hope, and The News axd Herald joins the farmers in putting behind us the disappointments of r93, and in pushing forward to better times. The recuperative powers of this Southland are wonderful and let us hope that the close of the rear 189? will bring with it a prosperity which shall abide with us. "VYe are requested by the gentleman, who suggested the ticket published a few days ago, to say that he is not a "Straightout." This gives more weight to his suggestion, and if the conservative Tillmanites wish to elect a good ticket like that we shall certainly offer no objections, but the past has proven that the "Conservatives" can do nothing. If any change for the better is to be made in our State government, it must be done by the thinking and conservative men among the "Reformers." "We hope that it will net be "* ' ? t-iA tii.i-.il?

"We have never had any words of censure for the administration in trying to enforce the law as far as its provisions will authorize, but we cannot approve of the Charleston proceedings. The law is wrong in principle and the Tf Atff/vwtArl oIaovat if". JU-lV/lt lb IO V1UVXV/VU ".iiv vjvmiav*. -v v comes evident that it is a bad piece of legislation that should be repealed. "We hope that Governer Tillman will continue to try to enforce it, and this will reveal its bad features. The congestion of money in New York, and other money centres shows a very unhealthy condition of business, i and may result in stimilating speculation to a dangerous extent. It also shows lhat it is not more money that i? needed but such laws and conditions as shall restore confidence and stimulate enterprises. With the unjust tariff law? repealed, the llnauciai policy or the country based on sound and honest money and the disappearance of the wild cat financial herisies of the populism, this great reserve energy, n?\v lying idle in the vaults of big banks, \ri!l go out amonj? the people fructifying labor and bringing hope ! in the future. And this i? what is j expected of ihe Democratic congress now in session. Oru friends across the North Caro- J lina line are having a little rumpus j over the collectorship. It seems that Elias and Simmons, the latter the Chairman of the Democratic party in the State, were appointed collectors. Senator Vance objected to Elias on some charges against his personal character and he withdrew. Simmons has been appointed, aad his appointment is hanging up in the Senate for i confirmation. Senator Vance, it is said, that he objects to this confirmation, and some Democrats in the State are incensed because the Senator will give no reason for his objection. Sim- } mons is said to have been a very hard Democratic worker in elections in 1892, and it 13 said tnat notmng can oe brought against his character. So it seems that S?uth Carolina is not alone [ in complaining of its Senators, Governor Tillman's interview on the recent conferences in Washington, published in the daily press, shows that the Governor has at last become a "trained politician," one of those witty fellows mentioned in the iam?us manifesto with the writing of which he had something to do. Appreciating that the dissensions developing among the lieutenants would result in the repudiation ot the bosses by the people, he has practically shifted the fight back to the reform rotert in the primaries, where he knows he can manage and direct the struggle. TillmaD knows his power as a bamboezler of ; his peeple and he has no idea of allowing his? coat-tail swingers to jeopardize his chances for th? Senate by getting up a quarrel among themselves. He also kn?w3 that It by & Co. are mere incidents to bis movement and the shrewd Governor has no intention of letting then forget this. Tillman is the Warwick of State poli tics and he will hare more to do with nameing his successor tkan even the reform voters themselves. The tail will not wag ihe dog. SiNATtR lR*r and the "Refawm" Congressmen are holding frequent conferences in Washington with the aid of Governor Tillman, who has been there. The conference Tuesday morning does not teem to have beon very harmonious. Mr. McLaurin got mad and withdiew. Governor Tillman, it is said, is on the fence but leans towards Irbj's side. McLaurin champions the Bowden-Eilerbe-Sheil ring as against the Irbj-Evun* ring. The poin' we wish to make is that the s'ate for Soulh Carolina's Governor and other State cifljers is being fixed in Washington without consulting ine people, yet we were told that the prime object of "the movement" was t? smash the ri:.gs and restore self-governinf.*t. Naming the Governor of the State br a few politicians in Washington is a mockery called self-government. However, it ii not our ticket that is being made by the ring; it is the '-Refawm" ticket, and if the *lRefawmers" are pleased to oe ruled from "Washington in this way we shall not complain. We merely want to direct attention to the existeuce of the ring. That's all. KCor;*u izea> The business of The Nkws and Herald has been lately reorganized. Mr. W. D. Douglass will hare charge of ihe editorial department, Mr. James Q. Davis will take charge of the business department, and Mr. \V. J. Elliott will hare control of the local department. The prime object of The News and Herald will be to furnish its readers with all news pertaining to thit county, and no effort will be spared t# make it- a newsr and interesting" fcheet. We mean to let tho.e who live in one section of the county know what is going on in another. We rriil iucrease the number of our correspondents, and hope to make the paper more interesting than it ever has been. The Corbett-Miteheri Fight. The theory of evolution that man is evolving higher and higher every day, and that this process of reaching out after higher and nobler things is a law traversing not only the physical world but is equally true of the social world, finds something to cast a doubt on the probable theory in the brutalizing prize fight, which has just taken place in Florida against the power and strength of the law. It may be that such "toughs" who. attended contest between the beasts have not' reached as high in the scale ?f development as the rest of mankind, and in fact constitute the long looked for link between man and monkey. They cerA f f <> 1 Q o flirt lrtTPOr baling iiavc ao uiuictt tvuvi animals and have nejust claim to be classed any higher than a little beyond the lower auimals. We regret that Governor Mitchell could not have stopped it. Athletic sports are harmless, and add dignity to the participants, but the CorbettMitchell fight cannot be called an athletic sport. All of its attendant circumstances, so corrupting and brutalizing, are revolting to the pure and high sentimcn's of life. It is not only against the letter and spirit #f the law, but against decencv. * * * Mrs. Corbett said that "Jim was in fine trim and was sure to knock Mitchell out." Her prophecy has come true, and she must be very proud of her bull-dog hnsband. * * Now that the Corbett-Mitchell fight is over, we hope that we shall have something else in the newspapers. * * * If fighting with gloves bruises, disfignres and covets the participants with blood and the law prohibits fights "by appointment" how could the Florida Judge escape the conclusion that the Corbett-Mitehell fight was against the Florida Statute on the subject? Governor Mitchell ' mar have been influenced to a great extent in ihe course which he to?k by a desire to create a little political capi tal, knowing that lie held tbc popalar side, still hu wa* right in his purpose whatever may have been his motive,.

( Sow i Can be Done in This Country at a " Minimum Cost-It Now Takes One Bale cf Cotton to Pay for One targe Hog?A ' Very Thoughtful Article on the Subject. Iu view of the present low price of ;otton and recent high price of bacon, , it would probably not be amiss for ; farmers to pay more attention to the ; raising of hogs and a few saggesiion3 : is to the meihod of raising lood on 1 which to feed them uaight not be out : :>f place. While it has long since been found out by experience that hogs feed sxclusivelv on corn raised 011 thin land are raised at a loss, yet it is highly probable ttiat if other articles of food, such as turnips, sweet potatoes, peas, beets, pinders and sugarcane are used, then the bacoti might te produced at tittle cost and sold at a much better profit thau cotton at the present low IU UII.JU 1I4V*| T) Uiiv wv market eun be obtained for tlie foregoing articles of food when raised in large quantities, there is no trouble whatever in selling bacon. It is not iong since it would take almost a bale of cotton to pay for the bacon which would couie from one Jargo* hog, and as it takes from two to thijf acres of land and a great amotui^Kf labor to produce the bale of cott^R Is it not a pertinent inquiry: canwroor tnree acres of land be used in sBa way as to produce more baco*E?n can be purchased with the. cagSEftaised on me same lasci, anu lunHpe it >vm never do to discard the wpipS' of cotton altogether, yet woulc^^iot be advisable to devote at least a few acres of good land to the raising of food crops? TWO FOOD CROPS IN ONE YEAII ON THE SAME LAND. It takes an acre of good land. to make ten bushels of corn, and this makes vtry little beg food. The same acre of land if planted in street potatoes anil well worked would perhaps make & hundred bnsheis of sweet potatoes, the value of which as a hog food rrould equal between thirty and forty bushels of corn. But is this all the "food you can make on the laud in a year? By no means; for if the land is well manured ihis potato crop can be preceded by a turnip crop which will yield a large quantity of hos: food if the land is properly, manured. Use (he turnips to feed young hogs in the spring and the potatoes to fatten them in the tall, and perhaps sugar cane or some other green food could be profitably used to teed the hogs between the time the turnips are exhauited and and bctore the potatoes are ready for use; or if beets are planted they can be used to feed in this interval, for beets planted at she same time turnips are plauted, remain sound long after turuips have decayed. The crop *f turnips and potatoes on the same "plcce of laud in one year might be raised as follows* MANURE LAND HEAVILY IS T?1E DRILL and plant the turnips early in the spring. They will then be ready to feed by April or May. IU^e your sweet potato slips ieady to set out as early as possible, but do not wait until you hare gathered your turnips betore setting them out. Do not gather the turnips except as you feed them, f?r it would be difficult to keep them iu the spring after they are taken out of J II Cat grouuu, uul jjuh iucui up u,i luicivals, and in these open spaces at the proper distance set your potato slips out, and by the time they have started to grow well the turnips Trill have been used off the land and will have retarded their growth very little. Perhaps a better piau would be to manure the land broadcast and plant the turnips in rise three or tour feet apart, and as soon as the potato slips were ready to set out with a side plow, throw up a bed between thb turnip rows and011 this bed set out tn? potato slips, cultivate with a hoe until all the turnips are used, and then plow the potatoes. By this plan the potatoes can be better cultivated at the early tage of their growth than they could be when planted on the same bed with the turnips; but this method would require broadcast manuring and perhaps a little more manure. Brplaut ing these irro crops on r.lie same acrc of land perhaps five or six times as much hog food can be produced ?n the acre as it would make if planted in corn alone, and if the acre of land was well mauured these oops could be followed with a small grain crop wiihout the addition of further manure, which would probably pay the expense which would probably yield a profit sufficient to par the expense of cultivating the preceding crop of turnips and potatoes. HOW TO PLANT A LAE?E QUANTITY OK LAND IN POTATOES WHEN SLIPS ARE Instead "of?eUing the potato slips eut at the regulaFtntiance apart in the rows set them say six,"???ht or ten feet apart, and then after t"fie'xcines have * ~ UnniK tkj'nnorii gruwii ? on in vie iic 1^x15114 1 ?.? the field in dry weather with ante, and at the proper distance dig heles; intoeack hole put a potato vine without detaching it from the old hill, and then cover it and allow it to remain attached te the old vine until roots have been formed which will occur in a few days if there is any moisture in the ground. After the roots have been formed and extended a short distan:efrom the joint of the vines gu through tbe field again with a hoe or spade and cut the old vine loose. You now have a new potato hill. Continue this method of extending the potato hills across the vacant space fix, eight or ten feet whichever you left until the whole space is covered. By allowing the vine to remain attached to the original potato hill until roots i.ave been formed, you dispense with the necessity of watering the new hill, which would be necessary if you cut vine at the time you put it in the hole, and there will be Dui uttio danger 01 the new vine wiltiig unless you are loo hasty in cutting it loose from the old hill. Ol course this method is recommended only when the potato slips you have are insufficient to set otu all the land you wish to plant. HOW TO FEED THE HOGS AFTER TIIE TURNIPS ARE EXHAUSTED AND BEFORE THE POTATOES ARE READT TO FEED. Plant a patch of beets, sugar cane, early pinders, or a laic spring patch of turnips, and on these teed until the p >:atoes aie ready for use. even poi3to vines, if the growth is sufficiently luxuriant to permit of their being cut 1 without injury to the growth of the ' potatoes, might be used as a food to i ^ A ?iif 1 ] llCJp WL-IC i ii ic 1-in.i ?**?. Turnip?, potatoes and beets would perhaps be the best crops to raise ' where land is scarce and it is desirable ; to get a large food yield from a small | 1 area, but where land is abundant, per-! 1 haps, one of the best crops to plant would be peas broadcasted and the j 1 hogs pastured on them. There is a . < large quantity of land in this country i! so poor that it would not par to plant! J it in a crop which would require much j 1 time to cultivate, yet would produce j 1 from three to six bushels of peas per-: j haps more per acre even if the peas i < ire sown broadcast and not cultivated. 1' r ? U.,.-1xa! y\-P +A nl.m f i I Lt VYUU1U U&KU iA uuaiici ui ^ttto ivpuub i m acre and a days time to plow them I in, then if you allow the hogs to do \ < ;he gathering themselves, this is about 1 Lhe onlv expense you are at: you can 2 :heu balance the improvement of the 1 land from the pea vines rotting on it ' igainst the cost of making the pea J c :rop and consider all the parts made i from the peas as net profit, and if pea i rines are -worth all that is claimed for them as a renovator of worn out land, this will be a fair estimate. 1 now TO PASTURE TIIE IIOGS. tlin Tir>af tc-qtt T?nri1/1 frt ! have a movable fence, but if this expense cannot be afforded, the hogs could be miuded in the pea field during dry weather fur a short time e. ch day, but if the owner should have urgent business elsewhere it is not likely that a hungry hog tied in a pea field or pinder patch would hurt himself with the rope provided'it was .long enough The hog can gather his own food whether it is on top Or under the ground and could be turned into a potatoe or turnip patch as well us a pea field or pinder patch, but it would perhaps be poor economy to require liim to do this except in * (he case of those crops in which gathering is such a tedious process. POTATOES BETWEEN COKX. A large quantity of Hog food coukl be raised between the hills of corn on au ordinary farm by simply planting potatoes between the hills of corn in the same manner that peas arc now planted. The crop then made would as a hog food, be worth perhaps more than the corn made on the same land. This crop would not interfere much with the corn as the corn is generally made if planted early before potatoes do much, iiesiues me potatoes aw much more independent of the season than corn and in case it was evident at aiiy season of the rear tha.t. the corn crop would be a failure the corn could be cut and the potatoes extended over the whole land in the manner heretofore indicated. A man. could then better aSord to manure his corn rows with two hundred pounds of guano in the drill or if the corn should prove a failure from the drouth the potatoe crop would cover the expense of manuring at least. Whipoorwill or speckeld peas seldom fails to'maturc a crop even when planted late and sown broadcast in the corn field late in the season would a (lord considerable quantity of hog food but. this pea does not keep so well as other varieties if left in the field. This pea might be planted earlv in the season and the vines with the peas left on cut and thrown to the hogs which would be much less laborious than- picking the peas. * - ' * ' i-l 1. * I It tnc lanu i? ric-ii turnips couiu uv sown broadcast between the hills of corn in corn fields in September and Octooer and would be Valuable as hog food. These could bC'sown even after the corn was gathered, but if sown soon after fodder .pulling time would not interfere in the least .with the corn. Pumpkins can also be raised in a corn field without materially lessening the yield-and^ould be of some value as a hog food. Irish potatoes would also make, excellent food., but these could not well be profitably raised, unless raised on rich land and where a man raised and kept the seed. The best food:crops-for' poor or even ordinary land woukl be sweet potatoes, peas "and pinders. ' Farmers let out their 'lands* to raise cotton and corn on shares and would l\n lnf Alt UUU KJ\s uuuiiiuviv WV iVW vnb w > acres at least to be planted- in food crop and have hogs raised on shares. , If the proper food is used iris-probable that pork can be raised at a much less cost per pound than cotton and ret it is not long since it took almost two pounds of cotton to par for a pound of bacon, almost a- -bale of cotton to pay for two hundred pounds of bacon. If the right thing is planted it would not be much trouble to raise a two or three hundred-pound hog; 011 an acre of ordinary lalnd. : While there are other braucheS of farui-" industrieswhich would perhaps par . better than* the raising of hogs,'such: for* "instance' as sheep husbandry^ atd Stock raising, yet the*e require considerable capital to start with and in Srheep husbandry i 1_ _|A ?ll 1 a sumcienc nuraoer win navu iu uc kept to justify th6 employment of some one to look after them"; but. so far as hogs are. concerned,.the only item of much consequence will be the food, as a man can if he wifehesto raise them only on a small scale'buy'two or three young hogs for- very little. These suggestions arc thrown out as they might be of aid to some an<J it would be a good'idea for farmer's ;to keep an account of the expense of raising hogs on different kindsr'of food and communicatc the result, of their experiments to each other, x. v.. z. THE SITUJlTIOX. .Messrs. Editors: I said in mr last that I had not despaired of* (fie' commenwealth, nor lost, confidence' in' the masses, and that if I found I ;iwas not boring, ycu, you would give some reasons for the faith that -wat in me. If I have read history to any purpose it has taught me that governments are iscapable of self-improvement, for it is ciiriong'io note the seeming1'impossibility towards reformation encountered by despots who have trilled with the liberties and decent traditions of a people; they seem predestined to go on in their mad career?. But it is quite consoli?g and equally true that there is ever in the hearts of the masses a property which sooner or'later revolts at injustice and oppression and ewdllincr nn frnm thf> jrreat hearts, of I the people assumes sometiaaei the proportions of a mighty angry tidal wave and through fire aud sword restores the rights ot manhood, aud the blessings of liberty, at other times, like tbe views of pure water percolating the substrata of the earth, it permeates and purifies the hearts of the citizen and brings about mild but no less efficacious remedy known as peaceful revolution. Now fdr a f.;w illustrations. It was in July, 1G25, that Charles the first, sailed up the Thames to the royal abode at Whitehall, with his. lighthearted French bride. No prince had ever ascended a throne with better j opportunities for enacting Li?h and i honorable history, or for advancing ' the unity, the harmony and material prosperity of his people.

It was but natural for any intelligent mind, upon reading1 such infamous articles, lo reach the one conclusion, that ihey were either the production of a madman, lunatic or maniac, or possibly the three combined. Then to get at the bottom of this unnatural abuse and slander, we set about propounding inquiries who Mr. Woodward was, and if he was a man of any ability or intellect, and what should be his political faith and standing, and if lie had over aspired for office, if over ebc:cd, if ever defeated, and if elected something of his. official OAlc Tlin ?.m I l> ?|-Pm tt?
