A Word to "Georgia Farmer.5*
i In another column a "Georgia Farmer"
asks the Abbeville farmers to write
something about tbe stock law. We are
not a farmer, but have never grown tired
of tho subjedt, and will write a little,
whether it is of benefit or not.
Tho law is unquestionably a public
benefit. It contributes greatly to our
prosporitv as a people, ami has grown in
favor with * majority of those who were
opposed to its enactment, while the advocates
of the law havo been moro than
ptaaaed.
While this is true, there are a few men
in different parts of the county who are
still opposed to it, because it does not suit
their esoeeial case, but we do not know of
any good reason to oppose it on genera!
principles. For instance if a man who
may or may not own land, desires to raise
n large number of cattle, it would be to
his advantage to have them grar.e on other
people's land and crops. The stock
law as it now stands here compels every
man who engages in stock raising as it
does raising cotton, to fUrnlsh his own
lands. He is not allowed to forage or
farm on the lands of others. The fact is,
the whole opposition to the law when
boiled down to the finest point may be
ejtpronsed in a man's desire to have his
cow brows? on auother man's hill. The
arguments of the opponents of the stock
law as expressed in the WiwAmj/ftm Oa- j
tette were nearly all usod ny the opponents
of the law in this county, with the
addition here that we were told a great
deal about tho "widow's cow." It is sufficient
to say that The evil predicted by
the opponents of the law has failed in
every single instance, and it is an indisputable
fact that no man can enumerate
the advantages of tho law.
Thousands of acres of tho b?st lands in
this county have been brought into cultivation
as the result of the law. One of the
best informed farmers in this county estimated
the increased acreage in Abbeville
county on this account at trn thousand
acres.
Farmers can prepare and cultivate a
much larger area under the present system
than under the old. It is estimated
that from one to two months time is savod
on the farm by the new system.
The great worry, annoyance, expense,
and loss of crops, in consequenoe of water
gaps is saved.
It gives the landowner a greater return
from his land, while it increases the
demand for labor.
It has had the effect of making rents a
little lower, and wages have Increased in
some sections.
A landowner in this county has established
various sottlemer on his largo
estate and now offers to rent his lands for
one-fourth of all the croos. Formerly
tho renter gave one-third of the cotton,,
and one-fourth of other cropR. Tho indications
are that rents will bo easier, and
labor still higher.
It is a fact which no man will deny, that
It take<- not one-tenth the labor and cost
to fence the stock that it requires to fenco
the crops.
Anderson county first adopted the law,
three years ago. Abbeville, Newberry,
Laurens and Union bad the benefits of
the law extended to them at the next sitting
of the Legislature. Pickens, Greenville
and Spartanburg secured its benefits
last winter to all the territory within
their borders, except the backbone of the
Blue Ridge. In all these counties the
Jaw has given the greatest satisfaction. If
yon want to see the vast territory embraced
in the above, cast your 03*6 over the
map of .South Carolina.
The law is equitable and just, and cannot
fail to aommend itself to every pro
gressive farmer who has not some special
reason for opposing it, which objection
would apply to only a very few isolated
cases.
After making diligent inquiry, we have
failed to hear of any planter who charges
his tenants for pastures, except in this
way: each tenant usually makes an
agreement to do an equitable share of the
labor necessary to keep up the fences
around the pastures. Before the passage
of tho stock law tenants helped to keep
up ten times as much fencing around the
crops.

Shall the Democratic Party Hide the
Faults of Its Members 1
Occasionally wo have had cause to criticise
certain actions of persons withiu our
own political lines. At this some of our
people have expressed regret. In reply
to all who have kindly stated their fears
that we would injure tho party by expos-1
ing ttie errors of members of the Democracy,
we would say that a great political
party cannot be injured by the errors or
crimes of a single individual or any small
number of persons, but on the contrary,
the party injutes itself by attempting to
hide or cover up such offenses. When a
party is unable to punish evil doers with*.
in its own ranks, it is weak indeed. The
way to gain strength as well as the approval
of the public, is to do right, and to
frown down whatever may be wrong, by
whomsoever committed. It is a great error
to suppose that the Democratic party
can gain strength by allowing its members
exemption from exposure and punishment
for crimes. The fact is, whenever
a political party undertakes to shield
criminals from punishment and disgrace,
it proclaims its own unworthiness of
public trust. We believe in pitching
high standards of right, aud in punishing
and exposing ottonders whether they
claim to be Democrats or Republicans.
Crime is crime, and political oast should
bo no excuso. Ah public journalists it is
our duty to record facts. Our readers are
entitled to tbein, and we do not intend to
magnify one man's error and at tbe same
time cover tbe sins of another.
A Prophet Not Without Honor, S&Te
in His Own Conntry.
By referenoe to an article which we
copy from the News and Courier of yesterday,
it will be seen that the Hon. J.
C. Sheppard and General M. W. Garv
were defeated on the 24th instant in the i
Edgefield local club in the race for delegates
to tho County Convention. That
articlo, it would seem, assigns as tho
reason for this great change of public
sentiment the course these gentlemen
recently pursued in support of the Bolters'
ticket for intendant and wardens of
the town. In this defeat General Gary
has received a blow, from which he will
find it difficult to recover during the
present campaign, and Bolters or Independents
throughout the State have been
taught a significant lesson. If a man ex- j
pects honors in South Carolsna he should
steer clear of Independentfcm. Edgefield
has Just furnished unmistakable
and convincing evidence that our people
are not ready for that move. There must j
be, however, some mistake about this!
matter, as we are not disposed to believe j
that a man o# General Gary's high nspirft- ]
tions means to seek favors at tbe hands
of the negroes. He has always been the
Rtraightest of the Straightout Democrats.
In fact, he has been so extremelv Demo-1
nratic that he has on more than one occasion
denounced General Hampton for
bis more liberal and conservative course.
For this reason we cannot think that|
General Gary contemplates running for
Governor on an Independent or Boltera'
ticket. We are no admirer or supporter
of General Gary, bnt say this much for j
the sake of justice to him. 1
Tbe Governorship.
From all tbe information that we can
gather in reference to the coming nomii
nation for Governor we believe, so far at 1
least as Abbeville county is concerned,
that the good of the party demands that
neither llagood nor Gary bo put in nonii- <
nation for that office. Neither have very
many zealous advocates and it is a fact
! beyond dispute that either will ruu betI
ter on his competitors unpopularity than
upon his own merits. The friends of
| Hagood have boen incensed at Gary's
course, and the friends of Gary visit the <
imaginary sins of Hampton on Hagood, !
a* being his representative and sympa- '
thizer, and it is a fact, which but few mcu '
claiming any intelligence, will deny,
that it will be impossible, under any ciri
cumstances, to unite Abbeville on either I j
candidate. I
We do not pretend to know the feeling |
in other counties, and we acknowledge^
that Abbeville is only a very small part j ]
of the State, but for the Bako of unanim- j;
ity it might be better to put a "third | j
man" in nomination. Wo care not
not who ho may bo. He can corny nearer !
uniting the party than either Hagood or ]
Gary, even though he be greatly inferior.]
to either. I;
The Negro Convention.
trtcwviiorfl ? ? civfi a full account of I1
tlio negro convention which met in the I
Court House last Saturday to nominate
delegates to attend the State convention.
It would seem that they are determined
to raise the color line again, and to restore
the former ill feeling between the
races which existed here so long during
the time the negroes ruled this State*
We are sorry to see this action on their
part, as it can only excite bad feeling and
a diversion from tho production of a'
| good crop, which is now so much needed.
They need not lay the flattering unction
to their souls that we will under any circumstances
allow thorn again to take possession
of the government. Such an
event need not be counted upon.
Improved Public Sentiment.
The recent hangings in this State show j i
that a man cannot with perfect impunity j j
shoot his neighbor. It lias become a lit-11
tie uncertain what a jury may do. It is ! t
now possible that a man may bo convict- j?
ed, and it is pretty certain that Governor;}
Simpson will not pardon such criminals. I j
Our own opinion is, that a great dual of
foolish twaddle has been wasted on urg- j ,
ing the necessity of a law forbidding the1i
carrying of concealed weapons. When I}
juries determine to hang murderors, the 1
ovil of which we have had just reason to11
I complain will be remedied. A little; J
| healthy hanging will do more to bring r
about a healthy state of morals than all *
j tte laws that we can pass. * *
Old-Fashioned and Ill-Mannered Law* i
yers Abuse Witnesses. 11
As the following in reference to the j \
Attorney-General's conduct at Wes>t;j
Point will apply to lawyers nearer home,. t
.we reprint it. The juries have it in their j t
power to correct such violations of the j t
laws of common decency, and exercise .j
their right by refusing to give a verdict t
for any lawyer who depends to the cow-1 \
ardly practice of abusing witnesses. The1 c
New York World, says. L
Mr. Townsend has conducted his cnso:f
?i.? /-> ' manv nlfl-fashinnmi !
Ill UIC IIKUtiJ^l v* ^
criminal lawyers, which is the manner Jt
very likely, in which he conducts all his j n
cases. This method may be described as f
a kind of ferocious horseplay. The the-' ?
ory of a counsel of this kind* is that all ofj v
the witnesses who do not help his case are 11(
wilful prejurers, that the counsel on the ' a
other side is the scum of the earth, and!'1
that the court, when it decides against;*
him, is either hopelessly ignorant orjt
hopelessly corrupt. He enlivens the pro-11
eeedings with witticisms which arc simp-1 a
ly direct and gross insults to the witness- j1
ee and tho opposing lawyers, and w<ouid | ?
be greatly astonished if any of his pro-1i,
fessional brethren should take offense at! I
his playfulness. The progress of civiliza- j P
lion is gradually putting an end to this | ^
method of trying cases, except before the j 0
tribunai ofthe wider Western communi- , u
ties, but some old-fashioned lawyers still v
pursue it, and evidently Mr. Townsond ?
is one of them. He believes that he ought j ?
to do everything to help his case, and ho i d
has never doubted that promiscuous-in-1 fi
solence was calculated to help it. Even | n
on this assumption his behavior at West j P
Point is not defensible. What is Mr. j ^
it/vjoo1' 9 VaKaHv id nn frirtl I ^
lunuovuu a ? A* "WVV*J ? VM ? - I .
nor is Mr. Townsend either prosecuting [1
or defending anybody. The proceeding i
ia merely an inquiry. Mr. Townsend,. ^
however, has provided himself with ajw
"case," which is that Whittaker was tied |o
and assaulted by some white cadets who 0
were aided and abetted and are concealed *
by the body of cadets, and who are en- n
oouraged to commit such outrages by o
their officers anJlnstructors. The enun- ti
ciation of this ingenious theory, whtah
Mr. Townsend has adopted withoui a
particle of evidence, and on which he has \
persistently conducted his examinations, n
is not of itself calculated to make Mr. 11
Townsend belovedjat West Point. When "
he enforces it at every opportunity by ir - i
suiting the cadets, their officers and their
instructors, according to the boorish S
method of practising law, it is not sur- n
prising that he should find himself in dis- ^
iavor with men who are accustomed to c
consider that insults^are insults even when ii
they are delivered in a court of justice. "
Neither is it surprising that Mr. Townsend
should consider himself the victim ti
of a scandalous prosecution when tlie a
court declines to accept bis insults as b
harmless jokes. ?

information on ail subjects, social, political, {'
moral and religious. Among other things 11
;iad a grave to visit in Cieorgla, the grave of!
my uncle, Rev. Dr. Samuel K. Talinagc, for |
:wenty years the President of Oglethorpe j
University. After walking amid the ruins of '
he Institution which he had founded and!
from which a multitude of men went forth to j
positions of Vntluence In all parts of the land, j1
jut an institution slain by the war, I went;
>ut to see his last resting place. When our
jlvll strife opened, his heart broke and ho lay
lowu near by the scene of his eminent use'ulness.
the monument over him adorned
.vlth his name and the suggestive passage:
'How beautiful upon the mountains arc the

'or my chief works in the ministry lias been
lone since the war closed. My admiration
or the Democratic party and the Republican
>arty, as purties, Is so small that it would;
x?ke one of McAllister's most powerful mag- j
llfylng glasses to discover anything of It. I
American Politico Are Rotten,
^nd that party steals the most which lias the !'
nost chance. I had all tlie doors of itiforma* j,
Ion opened to me. I talked with high and:
ow, Governors and water-carriers, clergy-1 (
ncn and laymen, lawyers doctors, editors
ind and philanthropists, with the black and
he white, old residents of the South and new
lettlers from the North, and I found that]
here have been the most persistent and out-1!
ageous misrepresentations In regard to the j
South by many of the correspondents of see- (
ilar and religious Journals, and by men who,
iverbenrfng and dishonest In their behaviour 11
it the South, have had Information given to :
bom that their company was not desirable. I
f ft man go South and behave well he will be \
xeated well. There Is no more need of rigor- (
lus governmental espionage In Atlanta, Au- ,
justa or Macon than there is In Boston or :
few York. The present disposition of the
touth has been en wrongly set forth that I <
iropose now, so far as I am able, to correct j
he stereotyped slanders concerning It, (
First, It has often heon represented to lis i
hat the South was longing for the old sys- .
em of negro slavery. So far from that being' |
rue, they are all glad to Imve got rid of It. ,
I'he planters told me that they can culture! i
heir fields with less expense under the new ]
ystem than the old. A gentleman who hnd ,
.1- -.1 n.nt tho li
Nothing and feeding of them, tlio taking care
?f the aged who could not work, and the prorlslon
for helpless colored children, wus an
(xpensc and anxiety and exhaustion. Now
he planters have nothing to do but pay the
vages when they are due. the families look ater
their own Invalids and minors. So they
ill say, without one exception, that I could I
Ind. If at the ballot boxes of the Southern I
<tates the quest Ion should now be submitted: |
'Slmll negro slavery be reinstated?" all the j
cards and all the cities and all the counties!
nd all the States would give thundering neg-1
itlve. They louzht to keep It eighteen years [
no, but now there Is universal congratula-!
Ion at lis overthrow. Thank (iod that North j
,nd South at last are one on that subject, and |
his etlort of our Northern politicians to keep |
he subject of slavery rolling on, Is as useless >.
nd Inapt as to make the Dorr rebellion of|
tliode Island, or Aaron Burr's attempt at the
verthrow of the United States Government, ,
he test of our Kali elections. The whole sub-1
ret of American slavery tsde-^d and damned.
Inquired everywhere: "How do the colored
eople work under the new plan ?" Tho anwer
was; "Well, very well. We have no
rouble. Just after the war there was the dismanizatlon
that naturally came of a neworerot
things, but now they work well. They
rork ftir belter than Northern laborers that
omc here, because our colored people can
etter endure our hot climate, and on a warin
utnmer's day. at the nooning, they will lie
own in the field to enjoy the sun." My
lends, all that talk about dragging the rivers
nd lakes of the South to haul ashore black c
eiple murdered and tiling in,though serious- q
> believed by many people at the North, Is a
'nlsehood Too Ridiculous to Mention "
n a religious assembly. The white people of
tie South feel their dependence on the dark
eople for the cultivation of their lands, and J
lie dark people feel their dependence on the 0
fhlte people for wages. From what I have (
bserved here at the North of the oppression ,
f some of our female clerks In dry goods _
tores and the struggle of many of our young .
leu on Insignificant salaries, which they ; ?
i-ist take or get nothing at all, I give as my I"
nlnlon that to-duv there Is more eonsldera-1,
Ion and sympathy for colored labor at the
outb than there Ik consideration and sympa- ,
hy for employes in sotneof the stores on Fill- j
;>n avenue, Brooklyn, or Broadway, New i
'ork, Washington street, Boston, or Chest-',
ut street, Philadelphia. All the world over, c
liere are tyrannical employers, and for their i
jaltrealment of subordinates, white of black, .
tiey are to be execrated; but the place for us ^
0 begin retortnatlon is at home. r
Another misrepresentation in regard to the s
ouih I cure when I say they are notantago- c
istlc to the settlement of Northern men jj
. lthln their borders. Wehave been told that ,
iortherners going there are ku-kluxed: t
rowded out of social life, unrecognized, and .
ii every way made uncomfortable. But the s
nlversal sentiment as I found It was "send t
own your Northern capitalists; ?ena down j
our Northern farming machines; buy plan-ja
itlons; open stores; build cotton factories t
ml rice mills; come! come right away; conic .
y tens of thousands and by millions. OfL
ourse they have 110 more liking for Northern I ?
Mils or Northern braggorts than we have. A |!(
ian who goes South and sets down liIk valise >j
t tlio depotand goes upon the nearest plan- ^
itldu to say by word or manner to the plant- c
r, "I have come down here to show you Igorant
people how to farm; we whipped you
1 the war, and now we proposo to whip you
i agriculture; I ain from Boston, lam; that's
tie hub; you look very much llko the man
tiat I shot at .South Mountain- 1 think it must >
avo been your brother. I marched right 1
tirough here In the fourth regiment of vol- t
nteers. I killed and quartered a heifer on c
our front stoop. Wnat a poor,. miserable i 'i
nee of people you Southerners are. Didn't |c
re give It to you ? Ilalha!" Such a man as 1 e
uat, to Hay trie least, will 1101 mane u mvora
le impression upon tlio neighborhood where ] t
e c-mes U> nettle. He will not very soon get: c
a be deacon in church, and If lie opens a store 1
e will not have many customers, and if ho |
hould happen to get a Irec and rapid ride on : hat
part of u fence which Is most easily re- ]'
noved, and nhould be net down without much 1<
el'erence to the desirability of the landing- c
lace, you and I will not be protectants. Any j J
floral man who will go South and exercise | f
ustordinary common sense, will bo wel- 1
omed, made at home, and coming from "
Brooklyn, will be treated Just as well as ll ho '
ame from Mobile. '
I might give many Illustrations. 1 give '
ne: A member of this church moved to ?
-'harleston, S. C., seven or eight years ago.. '
le went without fortune. Hy his mercantile |1
sslduity he toiled on up.* Was he well re-]1
elved? Judge for yourselves, as 1 tell you, |1
hat when, a tew days ago, l.is body was ta-1
:en to the Episcopal Church, of which he |
uid become a vestryman, for the obsequies, i>
he members of the Hoard of Trade, the or- t
>han children of the asylum of which iie was I
. director, and a great throug of the best clll- f
ens assembled, amid a wealth of floral and 1
nusical tribute, all making an occasion, de- I
cribed by tiie Charleston Courier, as almost r
inparalleled at the obsequies of any private v
lltlzen. This Kill* ?r IIciivpii I linrp iu no ninr? I
lospitable people than thepeopie of the South 1
.nil now I bring a message from all the States 11
if the South which I visited, invtting lmml-ll
:ration thither. The South is to rival the I
iVeHt us an opening ilcld for American enter- \
>rise. Horace Greeley's advice to go West Is j
o have an addenda in "Go South." The first *
ivalancheof population thither will make 11
heir fortunes. It is a national absurdity that i J
o much of the cotton of the South should be \
ransported at great expense to the North to]]
>e transformed into articles of use. The few j1
actories at the South are tho pioneers ot the 1 r
incounted spindles which are yet to begin tlielo
lum of their grand march on the banks of|c
he Savannah, Appalachlcola and the Tom- \
)lgbeo. There stands Georgia with Its.58,0001 j

ly T)urlnp tne punt winter, butter dealers in the 1 j>
L-d District of Columbia, Washington City and I"
lie elsewhere have teen arrested l'or selling real;,,
ss butter upon the allegation that It was eleo- Jep
margarine. This induced the Introduction of J]
in- a bill Into Congress to appoint a commission 11
nt of five scientific men to examine and test, ''
to wherever found and by every possible Helen- ?
:al title appliance, nil substances known to be, or I ?
ail supposed to be used in the production of any j *
possible compound that has been or may be j ^
at hereafter imposed upon the public consumers J ~
n- una substance for natural butter, and so far|"
b-1 as possible recominenu to congress wnai n-n-1 -
ofjlslfttlon Is necessary to protect the honest 11
re j dealer and the innoccnt consumer. And for I .v
ut thin purpose four thousand dollars Is asked to i ]'
at I be appropriated. A snug little sporting fund ,1
ite j for a scientific tasting committee to spend in 1c
a- j their Jaunts r.boutthe country looking lor oleo- i B
:id margarine. And I venture to suggest, that If |0
or tiiey would only take their Journey first j}'
cd throughout t he South and taste a vast deal of J1
ire the stuff bartered for by our country mer- *
;ir chants, they wonld without hesitation advise jor
our people to buy oleomargarine "every J'
or time." 4
in Well, this bill was referred to the commits J
ise | tee on agriculture, and by it to a sub-commit- jj
is tee, of which I am a member. Our first step 1
as | was to ko to headquarters and Investigate the
v-j manufacture of the article; so we went to Jj
o- New York, and there wo found a concern In JJ
to which more than half a million dollars had JIc,
I been Invested, turning out more than fifty 11
he I thousand pounds of oleomargarine dully, ?
ic. I nmuufactiiied after the Identical process as *
iet that previously reported from Baltimore, but v
la- of course upon a tenfold larger scale. J1
rid There are something tnoro than two thou- '
nd sand beeves killed dally at the slaughter s
ie houses In New York city, and they average c
>rt nearly one hundred pounds of fat each, be- l!
In side the kidney fat which cannot be used In
this manufactory, because, asyet.lt Is lm- *
_ possible to divest U or its tallowy taste. Hut
" all the remaining fat Is dally sold, and dellv- J
ilg ered twice a day to this "Commercial IWunu- "

yR pany making oleomargarine,>who pay three "
he cents per pound more for the fat than the J1
n- same article brought In market anterior to 11
it- the eslabllshment of this manufactory. At ?
th that time It brought three and a half cents s
es per pound, now It brings sis and a half. About 0
Id thirty-live per cent, of this fat is oleomarga- c
p- rlne, forty-rtve oer cent. tallow, ten per cent. v
to ntcarino, and the balance waste. Of course a n
>t- chemical analysis would show a great many H
>e- other remaining Ingredients, such atpalinatiii o
?t oraehin, caprylin, Ac., <fcc., that nobody unlo
derstands but a chemist. I sltnply glve the (e
ulc proportion of oleomargarine, tallow, stearlnc }
of and waste, which together make up that coin- ?
ur pound known as beet fut.
he Now, if the cattle growers of the Northwest F
vo and Texas only knew that this manufactory '
ss was adding at least three dollars to the value
vo of every average beef killed In New York,and n
id that the butchers there were growing rich at t
>w the rate of six thousand dollars perday, I lm- P
as aglno they would begin to look into this mat- l.v

lie ferrlng to handle the oleomargarine, which is 11
sh sold and consumed at home as rapidly as It r
li. can be made. I:
io- More than a dozen years ago an eminent a
he French chemist. M. Mece. asked himself the t
ti- question. Where docs the fat come from that <1
te Is found in milk which makes butter? He 1
'C- suspected that It was absorbed from the mil- t
h- ma 1 tissues, and began a series of experimcn is r
to test It. He treated some places of clean 1
ve beef suet with carbonate of potash and jiep- {]
of sine from the stomach of a sheep and found J1
nt ihdt. the fat was In tills way easily separated t
tie from the cellular tissues. This fat was drawn c
L'l- oil, and cooled and found to harden or con- .
ur geal. It was then subjected to hydraulic
et pressure, by which means steiirine and a
ry tasteless oil were obtained. Ten pounds of
II* this oil was mixed with four pin us of mill; j
ge and three pints of water and churned. The a
in result was an unusual quantity ofa substauec
ns that In taste and consistency resembled butst
ter. When freed from Its water it was found
id to keep an Indefinite time. It was eaten,
gft found palatable, anil by continued experlof
ment whs found to be a perfectly wholesome
Hi article of diet. Mega lit once brought this
y. product to the attention of the public by pat- 1
ut cntlng his proccss of manufacturing; money J
th was subscribed, companies were formed, and 1"
lie by 1*74 seven manufactories wen; established a
rl- In France, employing over four hundred li
it- hands. The French Government to-day reels
ognlze It ns a legitimate article of comntorce,
Id and the French chemists pronounce li as
le more wholesome than the unsavory and ran- r
in | chl butter so freely bought and sold among F
a- the common people of that country. These .
us facts I copy lrom the Encyclopaedia IlriUtmticn
n- which Is, of course, standard authority.
to Jn 1S73 Mr. Jas. Wilson, of Now York, pur>u
cluiscd the patent for the manufacture of
's oleomargarine In the United states, ami has
ol since that time established thirteen factories
a, throughout the Union; the largest being In
:k New York, where they employ two hundred
r- hands, who work In reliefs, the work begin- -i
w nlnif live minutes after li! o'clock Monday |
morning nnd not stopping for a moment un- fl
til Jlvo minutes before 12 Saturday ?l?ht. All ji
the fat thlscompany can buy Is converted in'd
to tallow, stearlne and oil, and If they cannot
ci' during the week manufacture all the oil into
>d oleomargarine, the balance Ik barrelled and
shipped to Liverpool, where it is churned Into
at oleomargarine. The stearlne Is shipped in
ul hogsheads to all parts of the world, and used
'n chiefly by candle and confectionery mannfacrc
tureru. The tallow, of course, is Hold, and the
wuste goes Into the ofl'nl of the city.
'd The president of the board of health of New
r* York City has Informed the committee that
Is he has frequently examined the material and
n- the product of this manufactory, and he eona
sltlers oleomargarine palatable and whole- a
some, and a most Valuable article of food." u
>e 1 append the written statements of some of jj
id the most eminent chemists in the United
a- States concerning oleomargarine.
>r- Prof. Henry Morton, of lloboken, New Jcr- P
of sey, says: "I ain able to say with contldencc
d, that it contains nothing whatever which Is fi
It Injurious as an artlele of diet, but on tlieconot
trury is essentially identlca.'. with the best c
'1. fresh butter."
m l'rof. S, W# Johnson,of Yale College, writes: f
v- "Made according to the specifications of Moge t
:d it cannot fall to yield a product that is entirely
attractive and wholesome as food, and one
ie that is for oil ordinary culinary and nutritive

Jh in the nature, but only in the proportions ol
>d its components."
ill Professors. C.Caldwell, of Cornell Unlvcr?r
slty. New York, writes: "When made after
ih the Mege patent oleomargarine when used In r
or reasonable quantity Is a perfectly wholesome r
id article of food. * * It cannot coinMl
pete with tine batter, but will prove a public
d, benefit in driving poor butter out of the mar>n
ket."
rd Professor H. A. Mott, Jr., analytical and
e. consulting chemist of the Commercial Manurd
facturing Company, writes: "I am clearly of
ir the opinion that the product called oleomar-j s
:s. garlne butter Is essentially identical with but-!
re ter made from cream. ? It is
h- destined to supplant the inferior grades of Mi
butter, and be placed side by side with the j:
best product of the creamery."
I have many more testimonials before me
from men or eminence in Northern colleges
)P who have witnessed the manufacture and j
Qt analyzed the product, who testify sirpilnrly
,18 to the above concerning oleomargarine. Hut
id why cite any more. I have "proved the pud>tj
ding by chewing the bag." and confess I am
5i, amazed at the magnitude of this enterprise.
lC. It is u? estatmsneu industry, ana it woiuu or i
ns easy to stop tbe traltic In any other article I
lcj of commerce an to prevent the manufacture of T
c. oleomargarine. A half million of pounds are
A>. produced, sold, bought and euten in tlie United
Stutes every day. Kuc.li a fact speaks for
P. itself. The produce commission merchants
,c' of New York, and the dairymen In their
to leagues all over the North are combating ll,
x. and denouncing it as the product of dead ^
',e i horses, and diseased beeves, Ac., Ac., all of
jH i which is as idle as darling straws against tlie ft
)U wind. There arc to-day eight millions of dol- 0
lars Invested in the manufacture of olcomar- 8(
lr' garine in the United States. and this Invest- ?
le' | meat belongs to men of as much push and y
r. | energy as can be found in Yankeeland, and it K(
js I pays thorn a handsome dividend. Their pro-|S(
duel Ir sold at twenty cents per pound, and , 'p
can neither boalistlnguishcdby the palate nor! [j
I, the olfactories from creamery butter thatLj
T. commands ninety cents per pound. How legislation
is to remedy the imaginary evil Is be-1
' yond my ken.
I might write you much more of how I have
r# heard friends denouuee this product- who nev-1
e* I er seen It to know it, but sat and ate it by an-1

THE HAMPTON METHOD.
Hiat Judge Mackey Told a Tar-Heel
Reporter About Politics?Grant's
War With Mexico, in Which the
Judge will be a Camp-Follower.
(Charlotte Observer.)
Judge Maekey was In town yesterday. As
lie Judge likes to talk and the public likes to
ear him, an Observer reporter was delighted
t. meeting with him in a clothing store
rhere lie was being lltted to an elegant cloth
imt. Uport the expression of a desire for an
utervlow, the Judge set down with the barilla
lor the coat unfinished and the clerk
joking disconcerted.
To Induce the Judge's eloquence to break
>rth one has but to puncture u hole In the
ikes of the political sea. The reporter sugestcd
Grant in the South and especially in
out!) Carolina.
"I do not know a single Democrat in South
'arollna who will vote for Grant in preference
) the regular Democratic nominee; but, on
hrt .mnifiirv I not trnnvv nf nnv wliodoeH
ot prefer hlrn above all other Republican
nii(il(liiti!S. His speech nt Galveston was a
lap In the face to the Northern Republicans,
liulr theory Is that the Southern people are
ut the Confederate army in citizen's clothes
-a full Hedged bird waiting for a line day to
y. Grant declared that they were loyal
icn, and that in another war the blue and
lie gray would light side by side, and another
i-ar, too, is contemplated against Mexico In
is B/hetne of centralization, and not only a
lilrd but a llfth and a sixth term. Texas now
lalms $75,000,OUO indemnity from Mexico for
puliation* connnllted 011 the border. This
aim Is the excuse for the war, and Grant
^111 rejoice in the opportunity of attacking
his magnificent country, consisting of tweny-seven
.states, with 11,000.000 population.
;he blue and the gray will light together, and
y a Judicious distribution of military paronage
In the South, the opportunity for
hlcli this will give him, he will become the
ero of the South as well as of the North,
'wo worus will passaway,or rather one word,
ebel, will pans away, and another, carpetagger,
will migrate. The Southern man will
ock to Mexico to represent the Mexicans In
.'ongrcss. The troubled 'Greaser' will cry out
n the bitterness or his soul, 'Carpet-Dagger,'
nd the Curollnlnn, the Georgian and the
.ousliiulnn will reply, 'Gentlemen, we are
ompolled to do this thing to get even.' Yes.
ir, the South will be most easily reconciled
0 centralization under changed clrcumtances,
'l'lie cry against the third term all
omes from the North now. All we euro for
1 to elect onr candidate,"
"I have no hesitation in saying that U; 11,
Iayes Is my own cholco above another men,
ut after him I am for the nominee of the
iutlonal Democratic party: and in thisconlectlon
I would say that there is no doubt
hat Grant will be the Republican nominee,
nd the only hope for the Democratic party
s to oppose him with a champion of theelvlc
Jen. This is most probable, and It Is strange
hat u man with the acuteness of Alexandt-i
ttepliens should think to the contrary and
dvocute so strenuously the cause of Hanock.
It would never do to oppose Grant
rith another soldier. He Is an eagle's tllghl
bove any otlierNorthern man as a military
Igure, and Hancock would he dwarfed. It Is
inly when we eomo to Grant's civil life thai
lis character becomes dark. For this civil
xponent, however, give us anybody but
'llden. He Is a coward, and Americans, you
;now, never forgive cowardice."
The reporter then inquired as to the State
lolitlcs fn South Carolina, and the Judge was
n liis element.
"Y.ou must know, sir, that there are three
nethods of dealing with the negro votershree
methods: One is to kill him. At tlx
iresent price of metallic cartridges?VX centt
-this can be done choapiy and easily; bul
his method has objectionable points. The
ibtrusive character which the United State?
;overnment has assumed, and the genera
trejudice against cold-blooded murder whicli
trangel.v Inheres in honorable men. are
tnong them. The next method is to defraud
he negro of his vote, hut tills not only de
rades the defrauded but the defraudor; and
gain, honorable men do not like to degrade
ir be degraded. The last is tne persuusivt
netliod. by which the negro vote U mlldlj
easoned Into the conviction that the whlti
rmn will) whom tils lot In ?:n*t is Ills riatura
Uy. This Is the Hampton mothod, nnd by It
housands of ne&roes nave been Induced tf
on the red shirt nnd vote the Democrat!)
Icket. Hampton's name Is now a bencdlcIon
In every cabin in South Carolina. Gene
al Jlazood Is the associate of Hampton ti
his method and the sympathies of the peoplt
if the State, which have never a moment
eon estrnntred from Hampton, will clemanc
hnt Hagood be the next nominee for Govern
>r."
