Out of the upper chamber, After the feast is clone; Out of the blessed circle, With Judas only gone; Out of the growing comfort The Master's word bestows; Out of the peace where all doubts cease, And all strife silent grows? Arise, let us go hence Over the murmuring Kedron, lnf.O U1C SHIUfII > Knwiii , j Into a foreseen anguish, U nto a foretold doom; Unto the kiss of traitors, The faithlessness of Iriends; Into the hour of the tempter's power, When heil4with heaven eonteuds? Arise, let us go heuce. Ever the warning soundeth Torough all the ages elear, As a harsh bell's jangling clamor Breaks on a dreaming ear, Or like the cry of terror I Which no wild vinds can drown, "When some ship shocks on the sunken rocks ! And men to death go downArise, let us go heuce. 0 shape, 0 sudden summons! Yet soft! what doth he say ? "Let us go hence 7" 1 en, .uasier, If thou but load the way. The straltest, sternest pathway That, ever mortal trod Shall welcome be. since we go with thee, In a road that leads to God. Arise, let us go hence. TILLMAN STRIKES BACK- I HE REPLIES TO THE LETTER OF COL. I LIPSCOMB. The Farmers Convention to be "Xo Joint Summer fleeting of Politi- j eians to 3Iake a Slate"?"Fewer j Laws and Better Ones"?The Pur- j """?! ('onvoiition. Since the publication of my recent "open i letter to the farmers of the state" I have been | ihe recipient ol'many courtesies from the newspapers and their correspondents. I am like King Lear. "The little dogs and all, i Tray, Blanch and Sweetheart. See! they I bark at me."' I have been accused of nearly every sin mentioned in the decalogue, audi many others besides, and I doubt if ever a column of plain and lucid English has be?*u | ko variously construed or had so many dill'er- , ent interpretations put upon it. There has certainly oeen a "rinu" firing at me, whether there be a political "ring" in South Carolina or not?and. I seem to have pinched many people's toes of whom I was not even thinklug. Such a broadside from politicians and pap suckers has not been heard in the State in many a long day. We farmers can now locate the enemy and govern ourselves accordingly. But I feel under lasting obligations to the gentlemen of the press for so liberally advertising "a farmer's convention" grulis. "The agitation of thought is the beginning of wisdom." Farmers need only to think, to i wake up, and all will be well. They are doing this, I hope and believe, and I am therefore more tnan satisfied with the situation. t i*imr Knc utmost died awav and things ! are growing quiet. But hush, harklwuatj deep booming sound is it that breaks the stillness at this late hour of t he bombardmen:? "Hamburg Moses," "Moses Tilman," "slanderer," "erauK," "dreamer'' and "dem-j aj;ogue," who somehow fuels unensy at being i the innocent cause of all this turmoil, ana I who is tryiug to make out why a simple sug- j gestion to tne fanners to organize and demand a redress of grievances should create such a commotion. "Moses" picks himself; up, shakes, feels for his head, and finding he I is not hurt looks around to see by whom this i "air gun" was fired. There was no bullet in j it. or certainly Edgefield would have a fUner iil on her hands. A burly form as lai as a por-1 ker on official pay, and as red with impotent rago as a turkey gobbler, stands ready to claim that he killed "Cock Robin." "Moses ' j has been begging with tears in his eyes for; some "Richmond" from the agricuitur.il bureau to answer his arguments and disprove j his facts; but our belated warrior who at tins late day appears upon the scene and tires the I gun it has tak^n him three months to load, i ignores argument, pays no attention to facts, j dishes out abusive epithets like a fish wife, claims to be the only original and possible! "Agricultural Moses," and winds up with a a pitiful appeal to the farmers and people not to punish him because he refuses to accept: "Moses Tillman as a leader." Oh how t^ese i men who are sucking the public teat begin to j squeal when they feel or fear they are about j to lose their hold ! It is heart-rending. Col.' Lipscomb has been nursing his wrath 10 keep i it warm and it is certainly very hot, but it ! does not burn ".Moses" because lie has only! told the truth, and Col. Lipscomb must dis-j prove the charges of incompetence, extrava-; gance and inattention to duty made against j the board of agriculture before he can injur* 1 ' Moses" by flinging mud. I shall not descend Into the gutter and light this doughty granger j with his chosen weapon. A negro can beat' us both on that line. 1 prefer decency and courtesy, although I am accused of "outraj;- [ ing" both. Col. Lipscomb must prove these) charges 'ere they will harm me. I have been servcrebut parliamentary, and havt always! attacked the official acts of men and not the lueu themselves; and although my words' were thus interpreted by many, t nave never i said anything about the Slate ottleers except! the agricultural bureau and thier administration of their trusts. They art* not the "ring'* ( to which I alluded, but may and doubtless do j l'orm a part of it, and Col. Lipscomb's ready i uu^er at the mere suggestion of such a tiling | makes one suspect that his conscience accuses him. "The wicked flee when no man purfiuetb, but the righteous is blod as a lion." I voted for Col. Lipscomb for secretary of. Slate in the State convention in 1882, and j have never denied that his motives are pure. But the possession of office has strangely emasculated and silenced the sturdy advocate who was wont to make the welkiu ring while he depicted the wrongs and abuses heaped on larmers. He spoke for my resolutions at Bennettsvllle, but it was with bated breath and in general terms. He was mild, very mild; ana while I have written nothingsince which 1 wasasserveasthatspeech.no farmer enjoyed it more or complimented it so highly as he | did. Let him deny this if he can, aud ex-j -1"'" ?? ?**? iiuu u<n>>o <?hiin<TiMl front. I said f r'ttwil ?. ..J ^ ittle there about the board of agriculture j and only sought to enlarge It and increase its j usefulness. That is what I propose now, and i juy efforts are not bent towards "pulling | down and destroying everything and every-; body," Ac., but towards building up, encour-i aging and protecting our agricultural inter-! ests. We want a real agrigultural college. | We want a large and representative board of Agriculture composed of live, progressive far-1 iners. We want fanner's institutes to teach ' our people how to do better and increase the j ceneral prosperity. We want fewer laws and ; Better ones; we want fewer officers and more j efficient ones; we want a government of the j people by the people and for the people; and j as tne people are. by a large majority, far-; iners, have a right and it is their duty to gov-1 ern the State, and "if this be treason make the most of it." Such a government does aot j Jby any means imply that only farmers ouglit 1 to hold office or that other classes are to be : excluded altogether or imposed upou. Only) a. dreamer or idiot would imagine such a j thing and only a narrow-minded, selfish bi?oi 1 would want it. The assumption that this j movement has any ^uch object is entirely] gratuitous ana oniy emanates imm unw j who seek to bamboozle farmers and obscure; the real l66ue. "Divide to conquer" has ever j been the tactics of our enemies, and the same j old dodge is being tried now. It may succeed ! but I hope lor better things. Col, LIpscoinb felt obliged to acknowledge that a farmer's convention is a right and proper thing and advocates It, but he objects ; to it because he did not?litest it and cannot; "boss it," and is silly enough to say it will be called and controlled, appointed and organized by Mr. B. R. Tillman. He does me too much honor. I have called the convention Jn common with those who endorsed the idea ' .tusd^ent me their names. It will assemble i .and chose its own officers and will. J trust, re-1 .suit In great good to the State and entire people. I will endeavor to get it to adopt some measures which I deem "highly important to! our wellare as farmers; only this and noth-i lug more, and the idea that it will be composed of puppets to be ''bossed" by anybody will I think t>e ouly too clearly disproven : when it assembles. It will be no joint summer inueuug iticians to 'make a slate." There will be no ! "free posses," and lacking these two familiar; s features, perhaps Col. Lipscomb does well to' turn his back on us. Tis a pity, but 1 sup-! pose we common people must preforce do ' without him. Let the farmers of this state ! *eethat good and true men, not politicians or I office seeKers, are sent to this convention and i it will mark an epoch in the history of South j Carolina. If any county can find a better man who is not a farmer than it can among farmers, by all means let the farmers ot that j county send him. We want the brains and j patriotism and honesty of the State to cornel iogether and take charge 01 n. i * B. R.
