Some weeks ago we mentioned that the proiessors of Clemson College would conduct farmers institutes in the different counties of the State, without any expense to the farmers, whenever a petition was made to the college authorities. Intendant J. E. Coan has taken hold of the matter, and has comp-iuricated with President Craighead. jCne result of the correspondence is * hat an institute will be held in Wiuu.-boro on th3 19th of nest *r*\.. month. beginning at iu a. ra. ur. Wyman, the o'lesc veterinarian, will treat free, be1 ween 9 and 10 o'clock, diseased anhrals. This alone ought to be beneficial ro oar farmers. They will find it instructive in the care of animals. Farmers vrlll hear discussed such subjects as horse shooing, the care of brood mares, diseases of domestic animals, fertilizers, drinking water, dairying, truck farming, practical agriculture, and oiher subject? equally as interesting to all classes, and everybody who possibly can do so should be present. They will obtain a great a great deal of information. - - ** * ii cOits noimnof, ana larmers suuutu feel enough interest to attend. Remember the d*te, Jane the 19th. The State has Jost another case arising out of Governor Tillman's administration. It will be remembered that Edward B. Wesley, of New York, bought the Agricultural Hal! building when it was offered for sale by the commissioners of the sinking fnnrl. Oar recollection is that he paid the cash portion. He was denied possession by the State authorities. This suit was to determine who was entitled to possession. It was clear that Wesley was entitled to possession, and the United Spates Court has so held. The result is thai Wesley will recover rents ior vac u-c of the building by llie State for the dispensary. Whether or not the State will have to accept the bonds tendered by Wesley in payment of nnrn'idcn -e rmrtarcf*>n<^ if. is WW TT V still an open question. The soi^ however, like m?.cy others of the last four or live years, has cost the State considerable money. Governor Tillman had a peculiar fondness for litigation and did not hesitate to indulge his desires in tui- direction, and the people will have to pay for it. The Coosaw case ^as whoily unnecessary. /"> " . i - riltrrnT'f OV \3 fc-U-ttV.fi A JJflO <>i>VaVO LUW V-?ample cited by the advocates of smaller salaries iV-r public officers. The Augusta Chronicle of last Thursday says that Judge Callaway, one of the ablest Judges iu the State, will retire from the bench, because he can make more in a law ofnee. The Chronicle concludes mat the right kind of Judges cannot be secured at the present salaries paid i:; Georgia. Small salaries mean cheap J edges and generally incompetent Judges. The Chronicle sa\ s that tne Staie will have to pay salaries sufficient to support competent lawyers for u-3 bench. While we do not believe :Nt public officers should be paid extravagant salaries, they should be pro* enough fully to compensate theai for their work. Poor pay will generally produce poor work. Larky Ga.stt has. disappointed the State pross. The editors had been led to believe that the last issue of the Headlight would be very interesting, and give some dispensary revelations in uci&il. It has an editorial in it on the dispensary, but the editorial is simply a rehash of what Editor Ganlt Las said already. He talks in a gen era- way abort the difference in reba'cs under the Tillman administration. Everybody knew this, but what the pub ic vant to know is what became of t.iOse ebates. This is what Editor Gaiitr asks. It was hoped that he himself wou d have some knowledge on the subject.

Chairman Ding ley, in an interview with a reporter for the X "W York Journal, has revealed one <>f the motives he had in his tarifi bill. He wants to raise more revenue than is necessary so that the goverumeut will have a surplus of greenbacks, and it can be impounded, or practically retired. This he thiuks will prevent the withdrawal of gold. So the people are to be taxed more than i- mce>?ary tor tne expenses vi kic^uvchiuh^ Wbat is the difference between this and issuing bonds?

Editor: Though it is rather late to give an account of the Catawba Fails picnic,^wc have noiiccd 11 > report of it in the IIerald, th?? too, it affords a new theme for your correspondent. For twenty-live years, we arc told, the annual picnic has taken place at the Falls and rain or shine, fiods representatives from several countics at the picnic grounds. The first Saturday in May, the a!Iritis*,! t * hcrvnono^l fA h:> {hp- fir^f UUiV? ~ ~ | day of tbe month this year. The morning dawned upon many who for weeks had been planning tbe trip to the falls; tbe clouds looked dark and threatening, but what'matter? it -was the first Saturday in May- and the day of the "brg picnic/', and who would think ot stajing at home? Oue party arrived at tbe Fills about 11 o'clock, to find (what your correspondent would call) multitudes! But we were told the crowd was nothing unusual. After leaving our vehicle at a convenient place we proceeded to the river. It has seldom been the luck of your correspondent to enjoy more wild and romantic scenery. The rockclad hills above, the beautiful river bei.eatb, and the whole surroundtng> are inspiring, to better describe if. in the language of Lossing; "The place wild and ..romantic." "Almost the whole volume of the river is here compres?eu by a rugged island, and into a narrow channel between steep, rocky, shores, fissured as if by some powerful convulsion." ''The river tMrnW/it in minolprl nii/1 UCi ^ muivi^o in cascades, and then subsides into comparative calmness in a basin below." There are really no perpendicular fall-, and justly th? place should be "Catawba Iiap;d>;" at any rate th" power of the river ar this place is very great, and if the wa'ers were properly utilized they wi-uld afford many facilities to mills, factories, &c. One unromamic person (who did not perhaps boast of as mucn activity or agility or th<j more 'fortunate who climbed over the slippery rocks with such ease) when questioned upon his oDinion of the place said, "Well, I have .felt more falls than I have seen." , And indeed the falls i-> the scene of many falls. However, 7iis said we appreciate things according to th? trouble we have had in attaining them; sc if in climbing to the highest point, we get one, two or three tumb.es, let . us surmount our difficalties in order to fully appreciate that, which we have hud some difficultv in obtaining. On one of the high hills overlooking the river, stands prominently the ruins of Fort Dearborn; here is the site, o* the projected U. $. military establish ment, which came within one vote of being the West Point of Americi. Ever', one at the picnic had his or her especiai interest, and all seemed to be enjoying themselves. Early in the evening it commenced to rain,"ai d at first the rocks with the additional laid of umbrellas afforded shelter n> I mrmv. a mrtv Drotected ov one of these convenient rocks was heard to say that the rain was "nice" and the stone shelter a '''noveltyhowever, the "novelty" mast have worn off, for as the steady down-pour continued, home was suggested, and even the comfortable (?) party under the rock had an inspiration and seemed to think > it time to leave this delightful resting , place. If anyone went home tired and disappointed, it certhinly could no' have been due to the beautiful and romantic place. A few days after the falls picnic, a party consistirg of not over fifteen, wenc to enjoy a pleasant day on the banks of the Catawba about a_mi'e from what is known as l'oint iiock. The morning was spent very pleasantly. Shortly" alter 1 o'clock we enjoyed a nice collation under the trees. The first course consisted of most delightful soup made from fish which were kiudly furnished by a gentleman of the party, afcer which we partook ol the inevitable picnic delicacies which all ate with great relish. After all, these is nothing like a meal taken out in the open air where everybody feels j free and the most formal of us arc at ease. Shortly after dinner seme of us went on an exploring expedition. We set out down the river and came to the huh hill knowu a? Point Hock. The a^entof the hill was tiresome but the ilowers and the moss-coverod trees "Won' T-nripfv. then there was the kuowledg>> Ltaat we were "climbing higher," ;o spar us ,;onwai\l aul upward."' From the top of the hili a magnificent view of the river is obtained, and lor several miles down the j river we could see the waters glisteniu?T in the son. At the foot of Point j Rock is a ford; it was here that Tarleton crossed pursuing Sumter to Fishing Crees where he almost annihilatoi the forces of Gen. Sumpter. A half mile above the rock-capped, rugged mountain i? Drummers Hill,? which claims our attention on accjunt i of the legend attached. Toe legend 1 ! runs thus: "taring me revjiuu?uiai\ ? | war the British captured 311 Amcricau | drummer boy and took him to their camp near this hill; he was sentenced to be shot, and the doming before jjrwitr***- I H IVI ifr ~wrr.^?' bis execution, from the top of tho hill be sounded his iast reville, since then, always at the rising of the sun cau be heard the sound of the drum. But we must discontinue by adding that we left for our respective homes wc!i pleased with the day and gratified that we had seen in Drummers Hill and Point Rocf* 1 "0 places (if though not celebrated; worth while seeing, and important enough to suggest pleasant memories through life.

Our farmers are almost through planting. There is some corn to plant on ihe bottom lauds. Some have ploughed their first planting of corn. Cotton that was planted not long since had commenced to come up before the rain. The small grain crop has been damaged by the recent dry weather. Little James Bolick, who has been quite sick recently, is now convalescing. Mr. Arthur Owens, of Winnsboro, has bc:-n visiting relatives in this community. Mr. Crosby Ruff, ufter vuiting relatives in the Horeb section, returned not long since. Mr. -John A. F. Coleman is collecting contributions to erect tombstones over the graves of Robt. Coleman and wife. They were the first (joiemans that settled in this communty. Only the descendants in this and other States are contributing. Their descendenls have gone out into more than a dozen States and have doubtless made their impress upon their fellowmen for their unquestioned integrity, perseverance and diligent application to business pursuits, which has evidently been a marked characteristic of that family. When erccteci me inscription on the tomb will show how many different StatGs from which J he descendants have contributed. The p'an was inaugurated by Miss Jennie Coleman, who has since married Mr. Edward Coleman, of Fiuley, Ala. I think it is well gotten up and merits the approval ana co-operation of all the descendants. Rev. James WolJiug, who has for several \ears been engaged in mis sionary wotk 111 jl>raz,n, preauueu. ki Antioch Methodist Churcb, near tolling, last Sunday. borne time ago I wrote a piece on what I thought was the best method of planting corn, but there is more to be done tban plauting; it must be properly worked in order to insure good results. Almost auy farmer can make cotton; but it takes a good farmer to know how to prepare land thoroughly, plant corn correctly aod wrAfl' HTa cnm if on in o >V yji ipi w; iv ? j. 1; ou(jLk xl uau m few words, I think thorough preparation and shallow cultivation is the most essential elements of successful farming. Jonathan D. Coleman, deceased, who was a successful farmer, once said he would mucli rather have twothirds or three-fourths of a good corn crop with a good crop of peas and a little grass on bis land than'ohavea good crop of corn without any peas and vegetation. He said if you had a good pea crop they would make up for a little shortage i"u the corn, while the pcavincs and ?rass woulct be bemntctal to the land Mr. Editor, I have read so little about the science of agriculture until I ftel a delicacy in making aoy suggestions on this line of thought which ought to engage the attention *" - i* - * * "? .L" -J* -11 ana carerui consideration ox au wuu manifest an interest in the welfare and future prosperity of our people. We have an agricultural school in which the science of agriculture is taught according to the most successful methods. But there is a vast difference between theory and practice. Observation and experience are good teachers, provided the experience don't cost too much. Dr. Talmage says some people will travel a road almost a lifotimo a nr? roirop fihiorvo CfimA f?K jects that are plainly visible. I am constrained to believe that is the case with some men wbo farm, that they fail to observe and put into practical operation some of the most essential elements of success. I bad intended to write something about the planting and cultivation of cotton, but will not have space in this article for fear of trespassing on your valuable space. Just oue word about politics. I have just read Tillman's speech of the exposition of the armor plate frauds. I think his effort on that question ought to meet the approval of alKour people.

Editor: I think we should at least feel much encouraged in our efforts to awaken an intent in our people to improve 0111 public highways, for wc have at least woke up a fcelner in "East Wateree." Lei us not weary in well doir>g, and in due time we may get one from some other section of our county. I have endeavored in my former articles to show the practibility of macadamising our main roads?of course in a gradual wav. Don't let ns drift away with the idea that it is too big an Undertaking. and will re fin ire several VCai'S ? 0 7 -a, - to accomplish the work, and hence we will not undertake it, but get up some cheaper and easier way, which will in the end amount to nothing, and perhaps worse than nothing, by want of time and money and a loss of energy to do anything, for I am of the opinion that anything less than rnacadamiseing or turnpiking onr roads will in the end result in the wasting of time and money. Others have tried it and failed. Can't we derive benefit from dwii.M-nni-ionuft' Tf vro ->n1v f!V trm CLIV-AI . 4.1 u v 7 v-w ? miles annually it will be done for ali time and repay us for (lie money and time expended, besides giving as new life and energy to con-.ijue. Now, if "Wateree" be correct, and I believe | lie is, "that the wrr-e parts of our roads are within two miles of tc-w>\" "let nF dcrttlsj c?II_a meeting" fur the purpose of issuing bonds to the amount of say fifteen thousand dollars, I don't care whether by the town or county, and macadamise the six main roads two miles from town. If that can be - UUlie J.U UUC VUill j LliGU J30ut ou umvii for the next year, a-'d 60 on until our county lias a macadamised road to every section. These bonds can be placed at six per cent, or ninety dollars per year for the first year, and twice the second, and so on; or we could do this, add an additional tax of a half mill and liquidate these yearly issues. Now some say we have as much taxes now as we can pay. I would like to know what farmer i:i our county ;hat does not pay over fifty cents per year for breakage alone on wagon^, bu?gi<-s or harness,, to sty nothing of lo=t time and wear or stock, and that is ail it would cost an} one who returns a thousand '/hilars worth of property. I am poor and don't own a horse, mu'e, wai'on. buggv or cart, (believe I have got a wheelbarrow which I have not paid for ye') but I atn willing to pay a dollar a year more taxes to have good rohd?, for I firmly believe with good roads I con'd pay twice that amount easier thai! 1 now pay. Now leaving all these benefits < ut of the question and locking at i: fiom an outbide point, as a town and con ty we wiil be compelled to improve < ur roads fur self-preservatio.j and pro tection, lot- our sis tor counties are a' work, and before ?e know it (tor all reformations go on s^ gradual J v that their g! oa ih js imp^i ooptiblc) \v* will find our e^ves sUippeu of ever* t .i ^ that goes to increase our pro- e iiy and population.
