A JOKE OX CANDIDATES. The statement was made Wednesday that there is a movement on fool to establish a new county to whict Fairfield. Kershaw and Richland wil | be expected to contribute some el | their surplus territory, and of wbiofc Ridge way w i !I be made the count} seat. We mention this simply as a [rumor and arc not prepared to sav [that there is any very substantia | foundation for the report. If, how i ever, an organized effort is to b< mad? to create a new coanty, the promoters of the scheme will get dowi to work before lon^ and then "we'i see what we'll see. The idea, we think, would not be generally popular in Fairfield and i( would hardly meet with general apr>prtiral in the other rnnnfies from which it is proposed to chop off large slices of territory. Fairfield embraces only .about 625 square miles, an l w< have never heard ths l the other connties interested are embarrassed by surplus area. This county is smal enough now and any effort to make i still smaller would, we are sure, bi met with the most vigorous kind o opposition. It has been suggested tint this is a clever little scheino that the numerous candidates for tke 'sheriffs office havi devised. A new county would offe auother lield for the winning of po litical honors. ^ GiWilXC AXD GOING. Mr. T W. Lauderdale has gone to New Y~rk. C. A. D -nglass, Esq , is visiting bis old boror at Albion..

THE FARMERS' INSTITUTE The tarmcrs' institute held in the court house Monday was rather poorly attended, but those present were entertained for three or four hours wit"h highly instructive lectures and discussions on subjecls of deep interest to agriculturalists and_ those interested in that branch of industry. Mr. J. M. Stewart, president of the( Faiciield Agricultural Association,presided, and at 11 o'clock opened the proceedings by introducing Mr. Sellers, of Marion County, as the first speaker. Mr. Sellers, who is a practical farmer, has made a specialty of tobacco culture aud it was on that subject that Ms remarks were delivered. He referred to the experiments in tobacco raising that have been made in this country, and he seemed to think that the effort to diversify the crops in this section by planting tobacco shoul I not be abandoned He believes there is no rea*on why the soil here is not adapted to the successful prodociion of "the weed." He described in detail the method of preparing the plant bed, transplanting, curing and matured leaf, and packiDg preparptory to marIioc oV>rr?r? 4ha . rwtnug.

The crop is snch an exacting one jlhat the average farmer fi. cls it impossible to give a very large acieage the care and attention ilnt it demands. Mr. Seilers estimates the tobacco crop of Marion this year at twenty million pounds, and its market value at $500,000. Col. Newman, of Clemson College, followed with a most entertaining ad t dress on "small maustne3 on me Farm." Col. Newman is well known in Fairfield, and it goes without saying, that bis ^talk was chock fnll of good, sound, practical advice to the farmers. He dwelt principally on the feeding and care of stock, dairy farming and dairy products, raising of poultry, etc. lie advises farmers to iucrease the producing power, and market valne of their cattle hogs, poultrv, etc., by exercising more care and judgment in breeding. lie referred to the value of silage as food for stock, and made sog gestions lor the building of MIos. Dr. Keejon, of Clemson, spoke on the subject of "Veterinary Science." lie described the diseases to which cattle and stock in this part of the country are most commonly subject. He referred particularly to the disease l-nnmn us Totos f/>vpp rmtfinrvl fhft symptom* uppear almost invariably, s?,f' <plained (lis method of preventing lis spread. He regards this disease as almost insurable. Carcasses of cattle that die of it should be burned or buried immediately to prevent infection. Cattle are inoculated with the germs of the disease by ticks. Partial immunity against the disease m ay be secured by riddirg the farm of these insects. IIg spoke somewhat at length on the subject of hog cholera, 1 a disease that is dreaded by stock raisers. Many of those preseut have been licavy JSJOUia luiuugu Lut laiiigd ui these diseases, and they received some 1 sound information as to the best ' methods of dealing with and stamping 1 ont the infectious diseases of cattle.
