ABBEVILLE, S. C.
W<&Hnpsdnv. Mpv 5. 1886.

There was much talk ami speculation in
politics last Monday, ami, we presume every
conoeivablc shadoof opinion was ex {Mossed,
of candidates who are believed to be in the
Held, ami it i*- f-xir to take it for granted that
theanxious voter insonie instances was looking
ariMuul for other candidates upon whom
to hestoW his vote.
It ?s quite likely that there will be a reckoning
on the new county question. The people
of MeCormick, we learn from the McC'ormick
Advitnce, are going to give thoir votes to the
candidates who favor their proposed new
vounty. If this is so, the people of Abbeville
county ought to know who are expected to
give them .'.way. Of course >f any candidate
for Legislative honors slaofiid promise to use
his position to disrupt and disorganize this
county the people should know t he lact before
the day of election. The .people of Abbevjlle-connty
wmild not knowingly place in
powet" any man r.tho would seek to destroy
Abbeville's boundaries and aflliet her people
with increased taxation. If the JleConuick
Advance represents the. sentiments of that
community on this subject. then the people
should demand to knew the position of those
who seek to represent us in the Legislature.
The temperance question will loom up in
spite of all opposition. Many citizens of Ab
beville county, we are lea to oeueve, win oe
governed by the views which the candidates
may hold on this important question. It is
frir to believe that many voters hold in? defiTiite
and,decided views on the prohibition ques
lion wiR vote for candidates with opinions
'equally decided and as thoroughly defined.
For instance the anti-prohibitionists will
Tfiostllkely vote for anti-prohibition candidates,
and:the prohibitionists may be set down
equally certain to vote for prohibition candidates.
Prominent, amonjj the questions which
"Will demand the attention of the citizen is
the schools. The tax payers of Abbeville
county contribute annually some ten thousand
dollars for the education of our children.
It is therefore to the interest of every
citizen that present abuses, if any exist, be
corrected. The citizens in every neighborhood
will no donbt notice to see if any of
the children's money has been wastelully
expended, and to learn if the local boards of
*ti?stees have hired teachers at $25 a month
who have heretofore taught for S20 a mouth,
find could now be hired at S15 a month.
From the present oulook, we think we will
have an interesting campaign.
?2ad Doj;s.
"\Ve agree most thoroughly with all the
opinions expressed by Dr. "NVaiiclell. The
only difficulty which we see about securing
and confining a mad dog is to find a person
who is willing to take the risk, and try the
experiment. For our own part, we think if
more dogs were shot purely on suspicion,
ih? rnnntrv would be better off. With this
exception. we agree with everything the
learned Doctor has said. The article is an
able one which should be read by every citizen.
The mere reading of it may save some
;good man's life. The Doctor shows conclu sivcly
that all docs that have spasms or fits
are not mad, and that only a small Di-r cent,
.of persons who are bitten by mad dogs, die of
rabies. The mind of the patient of;en has
more to do with his death, than any real or
tangible injury from the dog. We say again,
.read the article.
The Proposed Primary Election.
Jt will be noticed that the resolution in the
ueraocruuc eiuv in reim-ucc i" me i>iwj<.;ocu
primary election lor State officers and Congressmen
has been reduced Congressmen.
The resolution came from the ranks and was
voted for solidly, but we are inclined to think
that there is real opposition to the idea of allowing
the people to vote for State officers
atnd Congressmen, and we predict that the
resolution will miscarry.
The resolution to deny the people even the
right to vote for delegates to the nominating
conventions, although voted down, may
mean something, or it may mean nothing.
The correspondence with other Counties between
now and the next meeting will be interesting.

The long dry spell had somewhat discouraged

. The undersigned was in attendance at the
if?t->ck show at "Abbeville. It was a success, line
(horses and fine colts were everywhere t?? be
vofn oiil AShevillo isin front. It. is not the
.mm who devotes thirteen months of the
yeir to the culture of cotton who deserves
..most praise, but the wise stock man who
yearly adds to the taxable property of our
State thousands of dollars in the shape of
.'stock. It is true that this is unfair but we
must make the best of it. The cotton man
raises and puis upon th^ market between the
first of January and December PK) bales of
cotton, before the auditor ,se?s him he has
*o!d his cotton and spent the money. Not so
vwith the stock man. he rears his herds and
.yearly they are listed by the tax man and by
.reason thereof are of benefit to th^. State.
"The man who raises his 100 bales of cotton
blinks be mis best rignt to a seat in me larmiers'con
vent, ten, but we think the man who
raises hisKJO bales of cotton to the detriment
of other crops is a curse and has no right to
counsel progressive men. Cotton has b?en
king, but like many tyranioal dynasties, has
perished or will finally perish the man who
v btioks to it.

The people of Ninety-Six generally think
ahe Tillman movement a good one. Of course
' V would be Impossible to find a body of intelligent
men like that which assembled at
y&oluifibia on the 29th to all agree. Capt. Tillman
presented very many goo.t suggestions.
\Ve don't agree-with him as regards the Cita<lai
Academy and Agricultural College. These
nre however, minor differences. Our opinion
is that the /ionv-entlon will do great good.
jt". The reduction of taxes, the abolition of unnecessary
offices and the cleansing of the an gean
st iblcs, are the principle duties. We say
let the iio:kI work xo <>11. While we do not
.-idmit that, we are man worhipp?rs,\ve do say
that Benjamin R. Tillman deserves the thanks
of-the people for this agitation, so long as he
keeps within the ranks of the Democratic
, party, and we have no idea that he is anything
else but a simon pure Democrat.

ST- And, whereas, the languishing agricultural Trt
ty interests of the Stale are in sore need of an JJ
institution which shall furnish a move practical
and scientitie training, at less cost, to
' those wiio desire to follow farming, than can \Vu
;a now be obtained, while at the same time maphe
P'11?'0"' ,'1U system of farming which must
in be adopted to save our lands and redeem our
for agriculture: j
od And, whereas, a practical knowledge of the
ne mechanics .u ts among our own people must
'e" be had before we can hope for that diversity ti
yp of pursuits and introduction of manufacturer
ing so necessary to the prosperity of ouragriiis
culture, by giving a market for other farm
to products beside cotton ; therefore be it rcsolv- j
iut ed : N;
1st. That we respectfully urge the Legisla- esl
tore to establish, as soon as possible, a real J
[>lr agricultural sum iiieuiiamcui cuiie^c, ac^u- ^
:,rl- rate and distinct from the South Carolina
College, and modelled after those of Michigan
to and Mississippi, which have stood the test of
time and are acknowledged to be the best of
js their kind in the 'Jnitcd States.
lce 2d. That the control and management of
ied snid agricultural and mechanical college
ns? should be given to the board of agriculture,
lie which shall locate the same at the most eli- tp
'.ze gible site they can secure, after advertising
1^ for bids from the soreral counties. K2
}n. 3d. That an experimental station should be Dj
iid established at and in connection with said Sj'j
re- agricultural and mechanical college, the same aj|
to be under charge o :' its faculty. SI
? 4>h. That we memorialize Congress and be? co
1 it to pass the bill introduced by Mr. Hatch
ad. and now pending, m ich appropriates $15,
in- 000 annually to each fctato tor tins purposp,
ng and that we ask our St nators and Congressl;0*
men to usu all legitimate means to secure its ]
h0 passage. * rl<
tar That we protest against this money, if
ur- it shall be appropriated, being received by
his the present trustees of the South Carolina
he College. Their actions in t he past show them ?
1,11 to be disbelievers in industrial education.
Moreover, if we are to have an agicultural
IMl. college at all, every dollar si ent on the agriine
cultural annex at Columbia irf so much wasthls
ed. And while we are willing to concede to
these gentlemen honesty of purpose and pure m
^r< intent,we do not acknowledge rhat lawyers and I
nd Pro'essi?nal uien aru t'ie proper ones to conUU
trol an agricultural college, and experimental
vos station, any more than we clt im that farmers _
3 is ought to be chosen as .Judges in our Courts.We T
ills do not admit that the legal fraternity possess- **
"W es a monopoly of the brains and education in
this State, and we want eacli shoemaker to
len stick his own last.
elr 0th. That in order that our agricultural
isl- administration may be divorce 1 as far as possible
from politicians, in order that the men
[?-v best qualified to perform these important du- i
^ i ties be selected by those most competent to
judge, in order that we may secure a board of
tlo agriculture at once efficient, zealous and rep'
a! resentative, who know our needs and will
'y j try to supply them, we urge that instead of
n I ^cing chosen by the Legislature tbey be electi'.i
I ed by a farmers' convention compo. ed of deli
;t'ii I gates from cach county agrieultui al society f i
ni-1 which shall meet annually in No'ember of
, in } each year at Columbia for I his purpose. This
Convention ought to tnk* into cocsideration
all matters of legislation affecting our reJr,.
commendations to the Legislature about the
fay same as they may deem proper. T.iis board ?
see of agriculture >hould consistof ten, live elected
annually. They should have the.power to
ie^ elect their own executive officer or secretary,
'?'8 whose duties would correspond with those of
the present commissioner, and their duties
of' would be the same as the law imposes r n our 1
I present board, while, in addition they would
|oy j have control of the agricultural college and
:<'u" experimental station, and should, by m?ans of
itl'i "farmcr!5'institutes," &c., build1 up and keep ri
Lllti alive the several county societies and farm- i
ers' clubs. s<i
inn 8th. That in order to-obtain Che necessary E
ob- funds to sustain the agricultural college, afl,or
ter the State shall linye given enough to buy
r,|" the farm and erect ihe necessary buildings, we
2 recommend that the privilege tax on sale of
fertilizers be doubled. The board would then
get an income of over $50,000 per year, and
this, with the $5,700 from the land scrip fund,
would, wcthink, bo enough to support the
college, inspect the fertilizers, and hold fanners'
institutes, without additional taxation, T
lis | except a small indirect tax on guanoes, which ^
$0.j farmers will willingly pay to be guranteed jj
against fraud.
9th. That the inspection of fertilizers is
ts- j now defective and unsatisfactory, and no adeilef
I quiite punishment for frauds provided. We,
his, j therefore, urge such additional legislation as
rigs will secure the needed protection without ?
ler- imposing unncccessafv restraint upon the
manufacture and sale of fertilizers. Cotton
eis seed rnea'? whether sold as stock food or as a
Zi,'8 fertilizers, should be inspected : and adulterant.
tion punished. Stock owners will not mind s
to the additional charge to be sure of a whole>lR
some and pure article.
t<?L* 10th. That, the Citadel Academy, as a mili'
j? tarv school, be abolished, and that so much
3U|. of the money now appropriated to> its use a* s
)Us may be needed shall be given to1 the South %
on Carolina College at. Columbia, so as to make ^
"ter it a first-class institution for the training of
JW" young men for professions and literature. A
small tuition fee should be charged those entering
there, but the trustees should be alon
lowed to admit those unable to pay . free of
' charge. - 1
ire- 11 th That the State owes it to her daughter
tio provide an instition for their liberal and
an" practical education; a school where the} can
be taught nor only to adorn a drawing-room, ^Dj
but be fitted to perform the duttesef life and |
become bread-winners if need be. A com- J
' l' I monwealth which does not train its' future
mother can never hope to achieve any high
I place in the ciyilizstion of to-day, and both
justice and wisdom demand thaa our girls
irc. should have an equal chance with our boys.
We recommend that such a school be openci at
ire- the Citadel in place of the military instition
now in operation there, and that it de liberally
c^? supported by the State. We appeal to the
women of South Carol sna who feel 'he deficiencies
of their own training, and have seen
the utter helplessness of their sisters when :
1 " le!t to tlie'i' own reso' roes, to aid in establishingan
industriol co> ge for females in our
State like that ot Cc Jinbue. Miss. If they
