The Railroad Strike.
A number of railroad strikers have been arrested
throughout tlie West ami will be prosecuted
to the full extent of the law for felony,
conspiracy and interfering with the running
VI truing U'Kl/KVHV IUVVI vv.
"For our own part, we would say (hat we
hopo au example will be made of the ring:,
leadeaders of the great strike. It will not be
denied that every man, employed by any of
the railroads, had a perfect right to quit work
at any time when not under contract, but no
Jaw-abiding citizen can endorse their acts of;
lawlessness. They derserve punishment for
breaking the engines and throwing them
rroni the tracks. For destroying bridges or
doing any injury to any other property they
should be severely punished. For using force
to prevent other men from taking the places
which they had vacated, they deserve to suffer,
and we trust that deserved justice will be
meted out to them. Lawless strikers should
be taught that properly has a right to protec- j
tion in this country, and wc know or no bet- J
ter time to teach the lesson than now. If the
laws of the country are not sufficient to punish
these destroyers ol property and outrageous
intcrferers with the rights of others, then
it. i lino to Dro vide i)ioi.eclion to labor
and capital.
While it is a matter of perfect right for j
?uy man to quit the service of any corporation,
yet the presumption of forbid ding
others to take the places which they allege
they do not u-ant is not to be tolerated.
If this country can protect us in the possession
of money, or can afford the guaranteed
protection to the laborer, then it ought to do
It, and it ought to punish the ringleaders iu
the great 6trike.
Railroad Meeting.
The attention of our citizens is asked to the
call of the corporators of the Monroe, Chester j
and Abbeville Railroad, which is to take!
place in the Court House Thursday afternoon I
at half-past five o'clock. The prospects ofj
this road are really good, and If we only do
our part, we shall be able to secure one of the
Jjest lines of road that run across the country,
anu it will not be forgotter the best and most
prosperous roads do not now run directly
from the Blue Hitlge with the water to the
sea. If we give a reasonable subscription
along the line, we will then secure the last j
road that will be built in this part of thecounl
try for many a day. From the anxiety of our
people to do tlicir whole duty to the town and
county which they love so well, we know
Abbeville and Greenwood will do their whole
duty.
As far a<? we arc informed, there is not a
man in all the town who is opposed to the
Jjullding of this great road.
-Desecrating Our Graves.
*Wo loam that evil disposed persons have
recently trespassed upon the Long Cane
^Cemetery, xlestroyiug the flowers and soiling j
thestones. This is an intolerable state ofj
atralrs.and euergetic ellorts should be used
v-to put a stop to it. We would suggest that if
.a comfortable house was erected near the
.grounds where in a keeper of the cemetery
.might live and take care of the premises,
that such a course would be highly satisfactory.
On a grave yard as large as that of up- ;
ruer Lonsr Cane there is a demand for constant I
work and watchfulness, which a good sexton !
;?ould give. A place like Long Cane Cemetery !
should be in charge of some one whose duty I
itiSsto take-care 01 it, to answer calls, to do
amy needed work, and to preventi trespass.
Let the church authorities think of this.

the official figures which we received I

-which these gentlemen have denied to us. j
Since they write so dispassionately and clev-!

iit his efforts ns if the excitement was sporadic
and wouid die out by such treatment. They
^'reekoced without their host" for the people

she laugh is very low now. The controversy
;lias developed a peculiar sensitiveness to criticism
on the part of our office-holders. This
(should not be so. Qetting mad at Tillman
will not vindicate any administration for it
can prove nothing and nobody is yet afraid.
"A public office is a public trust" and the
holder is a legitimate object of criticism; If
the conduct of an office cannot be inquired into
the old doctrine of accountability to the
people will soon fall intoaslateof "innocuous
^iesuetude" and we will have masters over us.
for our part we like to see the thing going on.

FARMERS IN COUNCIL. 1
Proceedings of the Meeting:..Interest- 1
ing Day.
In response to the above calI, a convention
of the Farmers of Abbeville county assem- (
bled in the Court House last Monday?occupying
seats outside the gate which opens into r
the space usually rcserveu iur mui uurtium 1
its officers. The benches were well filled, and ?
nearly or quite every scat was occupied by
delegates or spectators who had come from
the various pursuits of life. The Bar was ?
ably represented ; and, we presume, the medical
piofcssian has no reason to complain of c
Its place in the picture. While we do not
speak advisedly the opinion may be advanced f
that even the politicians and the prospective j
candidates had not neglected todothoocoa- a
sion honor, The newspapers were represented
by reporters, with ears open and peucils j
sharp. Mr. \V. O. Bradley in behalf ojf the
Xews and Courier, Mr. W. P. Calhoun for the
Register, while each of the local papers had j
note-takers there. t
hnvintr nreviouslv manned outa line ,
of policy or prepared any "business for the occasion,
there was a notable delay in going to
wo'k,
The meeting was called to order by Mr. J.
H. Morrah, temporary chairman, who announced
that a permanent organization was
the lirst business to be done.
Capt. F. W. R. Nance nominated Capt. "YV.
A. Moore for permanent chairman.
Dr. H. G. Klugh nominated Mr. J. II. Morrah.
These nominations boingsecondod the chair
asked the convention how the vote should be
taken.
DijJClugh suggested by iw? voce.
The President?It having been moved that
the election shall be held by acclamation,
what is the pleasure of the convention?
Those favoring that mode of election will
vote aye. Those opposed nay. It appears to
the chair that the ayes have it.
J. S. Graves?There seems to be a doubt in
this corner. Might it not be well to take the
vote by rising ?
J. E. Bradley?I think there can be no objection
to a rising vote.
President?F. \V. It. Nance,.!. T. Horton and
H. W. Bowie will please act as tellers. All in
favor of electing Mr. W. A. Moore president of
this convention will rise to their feet.
Men in various parts of I he house now came
to their feet, when it was observed that quite o
a number were standing in the aisle.
II. \V. Bowie?Are wio>e men in meaisie iu c
be counted as voting for Mr. Moere? t
President?No, sir; take seats eentlemen,
unless you intend to vote for Mr. Moore. j
b\ W. It. Nance?It is impossible to count, j
Mr Chairman. Would it not be well to ask v
the members to vote by raising their hands? j
A W. Jones?I move that the farmers take t
scats inside the railing. It is impossible to
tell who are farmers in this crowd. <.
At this suggestion quite a number of far- B
mers marched in and took seats apurt from j
the general assembly.
President?Proceed, gentlemen, with the r
voting for chairman. Those who favor Mr.
Moore's election will please hold up their
right hands. c
The tellers count, and the chairman requested
those voting for J. II. Morrah to hold up c
their hands.
The tellers count, confer and announce that. a
"Mr. Morrah is elected."
Mr. Morrah said: I thank you gentlemen ^
for the honor. I will try to serve you with all i
my ability. The object of the call for this
meeting is unknowirto mo. I know nothing f
OI 11113 IllOUVeS Or 111Ll'rUMS which nun Villi mn (5
intended to advance. But I know the meeting
of furmers is not out of place. It is right t
and proper for farmers to have their separate
organizations. Every oilier calling has its or- j
ganization, and why not ours? We are not
standing here in opposition to any other call- t
ing, or for the oppression of any other calling. c
We are assembled nere for our own benefit.
We have not organized for t.he hurt of any t
one. The meeting is now ready for business, i
J. E. Bradley?I move we go into an election r
for secretary. I nominate W. 1\ Calhoun. t
He is a fair man and a good reporter who
would do us justice. I
David Aiken?I nominate a simon-pure far- t
mcr?J. E. Bradley.
J. E. Bradley?I have no feeling in this mat- r
tor. I am willing to be agreeable. I prefer, c
however, not to be secretary myself, and shall f,
not insist upon Mr. Calhoun's election. l:
J, 8. Graves?I nominate A. F. Calvert. t
B. P. Neel?I nominate F. W. It. Nance. t
Calvert and Nance withdraw. Capt. G. M. >
MattNon was now nominated.
J. E. Bradley?I withdraw the name of W. t
P. Calhoun as the convention seems to desire t
a farmer and nominate Mr. E. W. Watson who y
is o farmer of the first water. {
I. H. MeCalln, of Lowndesvllle, was nomi- q
nated for Tresurer. Nomination for Trcnsur- {
er being out of order, the nomination of Mr. fl
McCalla was held in abeyance. c
J. J. Lornax?I nominate A. W. Jones.
G. W. CollinS?I nominate Maj. J. L, White, r
L. I). Bowie?I nominate J. M. Pruitt. Mr.
Pruitt declined.
S. W. Cochran?I nominate Dnyid Aiken. s
Dr. O. P. Hawthorne?I hope Unit nomina- q
tions ?re now through. We iiave enough i
men nominated. Wecau get a good secretary ^
ifrom the number. We are wasting valuable
time. a
J. 8. Magce?As Capt. G. M. Mattison Is not
presentl take the liberty of withdrawing his
name. i
As each nominee's name was c.n11 eJ the vote
was taken by riiing. The tellers declared Mr.
J?. W. Watson elected.
The name of I. II. MeCalla was again
brought forward for treasurer, and he was itn- r
mediately elected.
O. P. Hawthorn?This is not a sham meet* c
ing. We want order.
Chairman?'.rhe convention is now ready for c
business.
K. E. Hill?Mr. Chairman, 1 see a gentleman f
present, who is perhaps more familiar with
the objects of this meeting than any other. ,
Ma h.ik: nr\ rlnnhl <rlvt>n t.hp mJlt.t.Hr milch
thought, and can state fully the objects of this f
calk I move thut we hear from Dr. O. P.
Hawthorn.
[Dr. Hawthorn then delivered a speech,
which is printed elsewhere In this paper.]
A. W. Jones?I move that a committee of
Ave be appointed to draft a constitution and
by-laws for the government of this organization.
Maj. J. L. White?I think It unnecessary to
form a constitution and by-laws. We have
met to elect delegates toColumhiu. The meeting
in Columbia will form a constitution and
by-laws. After that we may form a constitution
and b;-laws for ourselves, which will
conform to that. That's my idea of business.
A. W. Jones?I think we have assembled to
form a farmers' club. We therefore want a
permanent organization, and to have a permanent
organization we jnust have a constitution
and by-laws. We have scn>e enough j
to form our own constitution and by-laws, ,
without going to Columbia to gf;t somebody j
to do it for us. We certainly can't elect delegates
without organization. (
Dr. 0. P. Hawthorn then read tlie call as fol- (
lows : "As the farmers throughout the State t
;..l nf Mlf'lr ' /
uru Ul KiU!l&lli? 1UI II1U nuiuiiwixv.... v
own interests and promotion of their welfare
it seems to undersigned that this is a. proper r
time for the farmers of Abbeville county to t
take like action. We therefore earnestly and
respectfully request all the farmers of the
county to meet at Abbeville Court House 011 (
Saleday (5th) in April for the purpose of or-l
gauizing a County Farmers' Club and to U
choose delegates to represent them in the
State Agricultural Convention to be held in \
Columbia on the 29th of April." t
President?Are there any further remarks ?
Those in favor of Mr, Jones's resolution will .
vote aye. Carried.
Committee on Constitution and By-Laws:
A. W. Jones, J. E. Bradley, David Aiken, I.
II. McCalla. F. VV. It. Nauco.
dlaj. J. L. White?There b-as been some
question iis to who is a farmer. I want the
Committee on Constitution and By-Laws to
insert the word "white." The colored farmer
with the "male cow" is the cause of our present
situation. An honest map is the uoblest
work of God, and he who pays his debts is an
Tut us stirk toirether in our
fanners' organization as wc did in '76, and as
w.e did in tbc army. I would like for tliel
rord "white" to be inserted in the Constitution.
David Aiken?T don't know what, this meetng
was called for. I don't know how to draft
i Constitution. I don't know who this contention
will determine to be farmers. Acording
to Dr. Hawthorn this is a public
nectingofail the citizens, without political
ibject. I understand this to be a farmers'
neeting? and nothing else bin a farmers'
npntlntr for the sole linmoso of sendins dele
jates to Columbia.
J, W. R. Nance?I agree with Mr. Aiken.
iVe should determine who is n farmer.
David Aiken?I know Rome men who keep
[tores that managefarms too. I know some
nerchants who are mighty good tanners, and
nake money l?y farming. Are they entitled
o representation here?
H. W. Howie? Those who make their living ;
>ut of stores, but own farms, are landlords j
-not farmers. What.do the Scriptures say?
I'heysay: "Who Is the farmer? The tiller of i
he soil is the farmer." That is what the f
scriptures say.
F. W. It. Natice?I move we understand one
mother. Let us understand who are farm!rs.
A. W. Jones?I think that motion i3 out of
trder.
It. E. Hill?I move that we hear Dr. Ilawhorne's
resolutions.
O. P. Hawthorne?I think we need more
ime to prepare a Constitution than we can
lave at present, say until our meeting on

J. L. White?Let the Committee retire, nnd I

lislike. ?
David Aiken?I think we ought to know 1
vho are farmers.
F, W. R. Nance?I will explain. Lawyers, <
lot-tors, mechanics and men in other pursuits '

jeed to ascertain who are farmers, so that we
nay organizo.
W. A. Moore?I am heart and hand with <
his question. Farmers need unity of action.
have no doubt of beneficial results from the
neeting on the 29th In Columbia,
President?I will put the motion* Those
vho are In favor of this convention ascertainng
who are farmers, will rise. i
After this vote was taken, the president in
Ike manner said : "Ail wtmxre not in favor
>f settling the question as to who are farmers
vill rise.'' The voting in the negative being
nthor omnll
O. P. Hawthorn Bald?Don't be ashauied. of

F. W. It. Nance?The convention says we are
0 rletermine who is a farmer.
David Aiken?How are you goincr to dcternine
who isa farmer, who Isentltled to a seat
11 this body? What ate you going to do
iboutit?
President?We have come to that now.
David Aiken?1 move that we go into an
lection for delegates to Columbia.
O. P. Hawthorn?I think my resolutions
>ught to be heard first.
A. W. Jones?Is there a determination to
orm a permnnent organization ? If so, let us
enow it* Thts. is no organization to-day. It is
1 mixed convention.
\V. D. Mars?I move that every farmer regster
his name.
It. E. Hill?Yhat is business.
David Aiken?Then every man is to be
udge in his own case. I tliinis we ought to
iave an organization in every township,
vhioh should send delegates to a permanent
>rganization at this place. We have met tolay
only for th.e purpose of sending delegates
o the farmers' convention in Columbia.
W. D. Mars?I move that lawyers, doctors
md others be admitted to our organization,
f they are friendly. If we postpone our organization
for two months, I doubt if we ever
irganize. We will not need the organization
hen.
David Aiken?I think we have been called
lere to send delegates to-Cohimbla. Tills Is
ioi a c'iu?t;ii (? jucuiiuy, unu ci iiti mo s iiiwi-1
ng. If we dabble in politics, every mail bas
i right to a seal here.
F. W. It. Nance?We have organized by
Meeting President,. Secretary and Treasurer.
: ennnot see why we cannot elect delegates to
Columbia.
H. W. Bowie?I agree with Capt, Nance. I
jelieve just as he does.. Any ten men can
Iruft resolutions. We will hereafter have
ownship conventions,, from which we will
end delegates to this convention, which will
>e the central organization, the same as the
icntral club is made up ol delegates from the
ocal clubs. It it Wits a question between
>einocrats and Republicans we would have

President?The motion now Is to elect dele;ates
to Columbia.
A. W. Jones? How are yon.going to get rid
if the resolution to lorm a constitution and
>y laws for our organization ?
O. P. Hawthorn?It seems that we are wastng
much valuable time. We have orgnnJaedf
we want to make it permanent, we can
ery easily do so. I have some resolutions- in
ny pocket upon which it may he well euuugho
have the sense of this organization.
J. L. White?I move the committee on contitu

J. L. White?I move committee on constitulon

A. W. Jones?I don't see any use of commitee

have seen larger assemblies than this draft
esolutions in live minutes. I see a dcternillation
to break up this organization.
J. L. White?I disclaim any such intention,
am a farmer, and a friend to this organizaion.
David Aiken?I see no objection to the fornation
of a farmers'club. If it Is the desire
it the convention to do so, ail right. But as
urmers we should not dabble in politics. I
itidersland the call of this meeting to be for

J. N. Cochran?I tun in favor of the resolii-1

late organization is not Directed as yet. By
hat we are to go. We are not here ti^argue
luestious of policy. Tlie'Ulalr Educational

iut of order here. We have nothing to do but
sieat our delegates.
David Aiken?I would like to know how
nany delegates we should elect.
Voice?Five.
President?The call for a State Convention
ays: "The farmers of each county are re-!
[ucstcd to ?end five delegates over and above

vould seem to be Jive.
It. E. Hill?I suggest that we elect ten. Some

/V Dignified Reply to the Commit**
Rioner of Agriculture?Something'
Wrong in the "Tagging" Business.
COKESnuR-K, S. C., April 4r18SC.
Editor Pre.w and Banner:
When au official snows sensiuvenesss ai
any allusion made to the office he holds. It
arouses the suspicion that that official considers
his ofllce a vested right and not a public
trust, and it seems to me this idea Is applicable
to our Commissioner of Agriculture, who
so readily jumped topersonalities in replying
lo my reecnt innocent suggestion, that a
State Convention of farmers might find it fit
to invosiigate this department. I certainly
reflected In no wise upon the' administration
of this department: I am as good a friend to
if. us the Commissioner himself, and had I
the power would make it more potent for
good than it ever has been.
But let us look into this tax on cotton seed
meal when used as a fertilizer. The Commissioner
says, "I had been greatly inconvenienced*"
I bought a couple of tons of meal
and when informed that It was at Hodges I
sent two wagons eight miles for it, which
were returned empty, because the Railroad
Agent would not deliver cotton seed meal as
a fertilizer that was not tasrged. Here we
have a railroad official executing a law which
seems tome he should have nothing to do
with.
The Commissioner of Agriculture says the
Legislature passed a law requiring the
analaysis of all commercial fertilizers, and
when so analyzed and bagged, the bags conIhotnmn
wnrp In lin t.Trirr>i] t.n nrmf.firf.
the farmers from fraud. He further says, either
I or the manufacturer failed to do our
duty In not having the bags lagged. lie
knows as well as any mm that ft was* not my
duty to tag I hem. And if the manufacturer
Is permitted to tag them ad libitum, where can
there be a protection from fraud to the consumer?
If the chemist analyzed them,
should he not see them tagged > AnJ iN it, is
not his btisiness to do so, where in all reason
is there Ik a necessity to tag them at all?
Taga without uatnber are sent to the manufacturer
ami heputsonc on every other bag
that he sells. I bought 40 sacks; and when
written to for them the manufacturer sent
me but-0, saying that was enough for the 40
bii?js. Now, I nsic wimt possiuie protection j
bad I against fraud In those 20 bags without!
tags? For ought I know, or the Commissioner
or the State Chemist knows, If the manufacturer
is the rascal that this law fears he
may be, these twenty biigs may have been
tilled with yellow dirt. Clearly, Mr. Editor,
this pittance of a-tax is a subsidy?it in tribute
money, and well may I exclaim here,
"Millions for defence but not one cent for
tribute."
The Commissioner may think of this matter
as he pleases, but I think that it is a law
which would warrant a committee of farmers
being appointed, by the Convention to waitj
upon the Legislative and ask its amend-1
mentor repeal. As to the Commissioner's
fling at the Congressman, that may go for
what it's wortlu He certainly can not. and
slinl'l not l>e permitted to jml?c of my merits
[it least, as he is no constituent of mine.
Very respectfully,
D. WYATT AIKEN.
Whither Im Agriculture I>rlffiug ?
Editor (Jottnn Plant:
In taking a hcoad view of this subject It;
brings up a matter of more Importance to the i
welfare of the people than any other question
that can now bo agitated. It is true in some
respects our country has nothing to comipla/in
of, but in the Agricultural Department there
are many drawbacks; the"planting interest is
losing its flavors, nearly all the County Fairs
have gone up, for the want of patronage to
pay expenses. Anumberof excuses are made |
for the?e failures, but there has not been any
^ fhn fJiv ni'lrtP.
JJIilll JCL illciuv: l</ 1?U tuw mi ..pu.u fx. . , ,
and thtj question is here asked: "Whither is
agriculture drilling?" Shall the country be
sacrificed because the farmers will not take
some action. Now is the time to act and
strike while the iron is hot ns such an opportunity
that is now offered will not possibly be
offered in a number of years. Air. B. It. Tillman
now proposes to call a Farmer's Convention
to n.eet next month. It Is plain that
nothingcan be lost in the meeting of Ihisconvcntion,and
the chances are that a great deal
of good may be accomplished. It is an indisputable
fact that thengrlcultural interests of
the Slate are lu a depressed condition, but
some relief might be obtained by the united
action of the farmers when they meet in convention.
'Pii vnu nrn nnvc nhnnt. ft<5 lil??h ns when Cham
berlain was Governor of this State, and money
is hard to get at?particularly by a large
number of the farmers. Where lias the bulk
of the farmers money gone to? It must have
drifted into the hands of the cotton factors.
How do they get it? The merchants go to
them to borrow monej' and they get it at ten
per cent, dircct interest with the understanding
that the merchant must ship them nine
bales of cotton for every one hundred hilars
borrowed, or In case the cotton Jrs not shipped
to the lactor, a> penalty of one dollar and ilfty
cents for cach bale on deficient numbers is forfeited.
By this transaction the merchant is
paying about twenty-live per cent, interest
annually. Now liow does the merchant meet
this heavy per cent, interest? He has to sell
his goods to the farmers at forty per cent,
profit to get out with any margin. Consequently,
if this plan is followed long enoughand
does not break the merchant and fanner
both, then figures cannot be relied on.
It is true that farmers as a class make their
own roads rough, and have to be bridged
over. The farming class have been in the
wilderness long enough, and they should
meet in convention to plan some way of netting
out of the old ruts, and get on a firm
foundation. Stand erect and bid the credit
system a farewell forever, and then any good
farmer "can sit under his'own vine and figtree,
where none dare molest or make him
ill I illll.
Let us now pause fur ft moment and here |
ask the question. "Why Is it that all classes,
and professions can have their meeting* and ,
conventions and not a murmur is made in
words or in the press, hut now when the farmers
are going to meet in convention, si powerful
IiIk dust is being kicked uo? Yes!
Even some newspaper correspondents that
claim themselves to be farmers are trying lo
throw abstacles In the way of the Farmer's
Convention. All these small matters when
put together, are to some extent calculated to
weaken la a flimsy way the prosperity of our
State.
Now. Mr. Editor, I hope you will advise
your farmer readers to meet in the convention
and have the Cotton Plant spread on the
Convention's table, for it is one of the strong
pillars of Agriculture. Willi the advantaaes
that are now spread before the farmer and if
the advice is taken, the driftllng corn blades !
can be gathered up and packed away in tlie j
barn for safe-keeping. W. A. AlOORE.
On Tuesday morning while the construction
train on the G. & Ij Railroad was standing at,
the G. L. & S. depot, it was run Into by a handcar
coming from towards Spartanburg. Tills
hand-car, which was heavily loaded with
cross ties and five or six hands, in coming
down grade for some distance, became unmanageable.
All the hands escaped without
serious injury except Mr. Marion Nelson.
While the hand-car was probably half n mile
from the depot, Mr. Nelson Jumped off thc|
rear end of the car, his head striking a crosstie.
