Valnable Sustentions as to n Most Important Indniitry?Golden Feet of tbe Sheep?A Most Interesting; Letter Froin Col. James H. Rice. Editor Pressnnd Banner: You are a farmeranda stocky farmer. I will noi can you n nusonuuuiau, uruiuac juu ur text puns, nod this equivocal word may make a bachelor tremble. But you are certainly deeply Interested in agriculture, as your paper has long shown, and I remember a year ago agriculture took a large interest in you and your paper. I spent the afternoon of April lf>th with our friend, Eldred S. Addison, walking and riding over bis magnificent farm. It is three miles from Ninety-Six, in Edgefield ounty, lying on Beaver Dam and Ninety-Six creeks, in the heart of the famous Cambridge lsnds?the most fertile uplands in theState. The plantation contains 800 acres, is beautiful for situation, abundantly watered, thoroughly fenced with wire nud plank and bbows everywhere the band of a master. I have no time for detail, and besides, the owner is a modest man who stays at home and successfully handles and drives his own business. I am Intent to tell you and your readers about his sheep and Incidentally other things. Mr. Addison carried 130 sheep through the winter. March 24th he sold to an Augusta butcher 6 wethers and 14 lambs, averaging 60 pounds, for 6 cents gross. He has now 77 lambs, very many of which will weigh 80 pounds, and probably none as low as 50. They are all ready for the table and I really believe would compare favorably with an equal number from any farm In the Union. They would create a furore in Fulton Market, and tempt the most fastidious palate In any i?..j uu mill iroim cnmo nf Hip flnpst, fnr his iauu? iic mil avvp "v.mv w. ... - ? ? .... own use?table and flock. Will Bell many for fancy prices to men who desire to Improve tbelr flock', and the balance go to tbe butcher. But lor this be could market, every lamb to-day for $3 per head for tbe table. I am racing the Important question, does sheep farming pay here In our county? Mr. Adulson thinks It does, and presents the proof. Some years ago he bought this place badly run down from cotton culture and unwise Ullage and grazing. He has at leastdoubled its value, and although he has a reputation for flue horses, keeps a large herd of cattle and many hogs, and has sold pure red oats throughout theutate.be believes tbe prime factor in this development is the sheep. First, his present nock are penned nightly, and with them alone, be annually makes very rich eight acresof land, inovlDg his pens about every ten days. The money value of tbis land cannot be estimated. Every farmer knows what a cow pen means, and sheep droppings are richer than cows. It means heavy crops of barley, which can only be made to perfection on penned land, oats, rye, clover and turnips, ana is good for a life time, if properly graded and tilled. His sbeep are large and heavy wooled, as you can Judge from the crosses named. He begun wltti tirade Meriuos and Cotswold ewes breeding them to the best Broad Tailed rams be could buy in the country. They combine size, wool and mutton flavor to perfection. His flock of old sheep will probably shear six pounds per bead. Tbey are large, very fat ar>d having constantly cleaned his pastures bis wool will command the highest prices. Sheep give annually three returns when properly uinuo^cu?nuui, uiuvwu, muuo curlcbed. They are close feeders, destroy noxious weeds aud give us tbe only cbauce to redeem the bald red hills of our splendid ooun ty, gutted by a century of cotton culture, and scalded by blazing suns on lands without covering. We need sheep on every farm. We i covered thousands once and now bave pens, and these left to the tender mercies of weather and dogs. Not the darkey, for be does not love mutton?bis affections are centered on the pig. 1 It is very remarkable that the only book on sbeep husbandry In the South, and particularly In South Carolina, was written by Mr. Randall, a famous sheep farmer from New York. Visiting Gov. Alston, bte waa so Ira- i pressed with the superiority of our soli, climate and natural range for sheep tbat he < published a book which will be a revelation 1 lo every reader. I can only say that he declares that a line iroin Georgetown to Memphis is the diameter of tbe finest sbeep range in the world? Mnerlca, Europe or Asia. Bead It. This industry is peculiarly suited lo white people. From tbe birth of tbe sbeep 1 to bis death he ueeds such constant care as ' only a white man can and will give. The lambing, the watching In pasture, the careful < tending and penning, the shearing, tbe fine 1 art of butchering, ana l snail never omit uie cooking and eatlngof them, in emphatically a privilege and duty of the white race. It la easily llrst of meals for health or pleasure in h hot clltnate. Roasted, boiled, chops most savory and barbecued, Mr Wilson, Is a dish for the gods. But I am not writing a treatise on gastronomy, though tbe contemplation even Is most delightful. I believe sheep have golden feet. It is so written and sung in old England for a hundred years, and they have aided largely to make her garment of green which catches every visitor's eye. I have, sir, written thus earnestly because I believe sheep should be on every jarm In our county, and I take tbe liberty to append to this article a statement of estimates showing profits on Mr. Addison's flock. I spent happy and profitable years In its pursuit, and if I can say anytblng to draw our people Into this most pleasant and profitable channel I shall rejoice. , ? Mr. Audisoa runs on many lines. He does not put all his eggs in one basket, but be and I would be pleased to know that many ol them la the shape of sheep were In the baskets of every farmer. Serve aotlceonCol. Watt's, the veteran sheep maD, and you and he come to see me. I will carry yon without notice to Mr. Addison's farm, and you will be pleased and maybe Instructed. Please add tbe table of Dr. Cr., showing profits, and obllce. Very truly, J. H. Rice. 2 ?

Doc not Support Governor TIUrban. Editor Wilson, of the Abbeville Press aD liauner, IB a just ana itur-uimueu maii,i whs evidenced by the Impartial report of b County meeting, and the frank confesslo tbat Tillman's strength over the State had li creased rather than diminished. We war Brother Wilson to come over on the side < the people In tbls fight, and we believe b will do so. He is too good and true a man 1 lend bis talent and influence to further th spleen and resentment of a hopeless ractloi whose patriotism on ly extends to the limit < defeating the man who led the people to vii tory in 1890, and an lusatiate thirst for offlci No earthly power can defeat Tillman's r< election, for, as tbe Press and Banner cot fes8eM, he is the undoubted choice of the pe< pie. Majority rule is the fundamental princ pel of Democracy, and it now becomes hi duly to yield personal preference on th shrine of unity and harmony, and hel cement our party and draw all factions U gether. It will be a noble and praiseworth act on the part of Editor Wilson, and w know him to be a man with the honesty am courage to take such a step wheu duty am his party commands ?Columbia Register. In so lar as our brother speaks of our itr partial report of the meeting atAbbevlll last Saleday, we thank btm. He correctly estimates us when he seems t think that we desire to be fair and honest. A far as this editor knows himself be has n otber guide or ambition than to do tbe rlgbi But we confess to a degree of mortificatloi when the editor of tbe Register assumes t think that we could be induced to suppoi Mr. Tillman. Our inborn Dature would no auow us u> uo so, aim u wo viumn-u our uui victlons we would sacrifice our own persona sell-respect. Mr. Tillman's followers woul lose respect for us if we Joined In this unbol; orusade against the decency and respectabi; ity of South Carolina, and supported his ad ministration in the unjust, unfair and it Iqultous effort to extort from the banks an the railroads more than their Just proportioi of the burdens of the Goverment. \ve fe that the most violent or most Intolerant sup porters of Mr. Tillman's administration re gard this editor with at least some degree c respect for honesty of purpose, and because c their good opinion we would not, if for n other reason, Join in and give our encourage ment to an administration when doing wha the more intelligent of their number know V be morally wron<. We flatter ourselves li thinking that Mr. Tillman's supporters ii this county think better of us than to bellev we would do what we know to be unjust. Wo excuse tbe editor of the Register for hi suggestion, because bo does not Know us. an< for the further reason, that the methods o warfare which have been practiced upon Governor Tillman have been so dlstateful t< us, that we have refused to Join in dolni what we believed to be unfair. While belni ourself a pronounced "ami," yet we have ai times felt like protesting against,the manner and methods of our own, wing or the Detnc cratic party in Its treatment ot Mr. Tillman We have sometimes lelt like remonstralini with our friends for covering up whatseeme* to us the Governor's best Intentions by hi errors or doubtful acts of proceedure. As a matter of fact, we believe Governoi Tillman is honest. We believe that be is i man of ability, and we believe in his offlcla correspondence he has done himself and tb State credit. But, in spite of all this, we cannot suppor Governor Tlllmau in the primary election and we presume it would not be amiss l< state some of our reasons for not supportiuj him : First?He seems not to aspire to be Gover nor of tbe whole people, but rather to use hi omciai position to irriuiie ana aggravate those who are not his supporters. As one ev ldence of this fact see article copied from tbi Florence Messenger. Second?As Governor be should not seek U array one class against another, but shoulc strive to bring harmony among tbe peopU over whose Interests he presides. He Is. to< dictatorial in bis own office, and presumei loo near to hu assumption ol the powers o the Judiciary, while attempting, for spltefu reasons, to bring tbe Judges into public con tempt. Third?The Governor, like the President, ii at tbe head of society in bis sphere, and. be cause of this (act, he should observe the com mon uud well established laws of polite so clety. F6r Instance: When he is approach ed by any citizen, either socially or officially he should not, as Governor, give vent to pas <lon or fire a volley ot Ill-mannered oaths a Ills petitioner. Tbe humblest citizen, as wel as tbe highest, Is entitled to a respectful hear ing, and tbe Governor's proper regard for hit jvrn position should restrain him from soarce profanity lu the presence of thoBe whc come in respect, or It may be In humility. Fourth?The Governor's utter and absolute disregard for the religious feelings of his peo pie is evideuced in his using profane language when speaking to a mixed audience !>f ladies and gentlemen. The ruler of a Christian people should respect their religious convictions. A disregard of thlnge which any people hold sacred Is violative of ;ood manners and renders such person unit f<* their ruler. Fifth?Governor Tillman's Influence in pronoting profanity and In lowering tbe standard of morals among the people has been so zreat that it may be said that the combined jflbrts of all the preachers Id Ihe land will be sufficient to correct bis evil influence In ,be next five years. Sixth?No man who corrupts the manners )f the people, and encourages open profunlty, ind a general disregard of sacred things, :omes up to our Ideal of a proper Governor of i Christian people, and therefore we cannot lupport him. Seventh?The Governor of a great State ihould not fly into a passion, and utter dlu espectful language In reference to those cLtl;ens who are opposed to him. When he goes >n the stump, he does so In a double capacity -as Governor and as candidate for re-election -and he should not Insult any class of peoDie, with the idea of thereby appealing to he prejudice of another class. Eighth?We cannot support the present adnlnlstratlon, because of Its unequal, unjust ind malicious execution or the tax laws. No )olltlcian ever bad a better motto than equal rights to all and special privileges to lone." We endorse thatsetlment unreservedy. But we deprecate the uufalmess, the malctousness and the extortion which has been ^radioed under that banner. We have good eason to believe that Governor Tillman reurns ills own Individual property for taxation at from thirty to fifty per cent, of Its real /alue. For this act we have nothing to iharge against him. The return is as gooa as :hat of thousands of others?including posilbly our own. But the moral wrong, and the ipproach to a disreputable act on the part ol :hl8 Government lies in the fact that the ofleers under Governor Tillman's administration are trying to use their official power to issess the corporations,?If not at more than Lhe actual worth of their property, certainly it a rate greatly in excess of that at which Lhe property of private citizens is returned, nciudlng the Governor himself. With our present convictions, highway robbery is just is honorable as the using of official power tc sxtort unjust taxation from one class of citizens, while allowing another class to dodge. Believing that the machinery of the law has been used to oppress corporations, while the officers themselves have dodged a fair taxalion, we would lose our claim to a decent in tegrlty, and would ourself be a party to the act, if we supported the perpetrators of the crime. How any man acquainted with the facts and claiming ooinmon honesty, can en dorse this official war of extermination against the corporations is more than we can understand. We believe in "equal rights tc all and special privileges to none," and wll forever protest against any act which has the tendency to confiscate one man's property while allowing another to escape a just pro portion of the burdens of the Government. Ninth?We have not forgiven this adminis tration for the calamity which it has Indictee on this people in the establishment of Clem son College. We had no sufficient need foi that College, and It will be for all time t( come, u heavy burden 011 the people, wlthoul giving in return a Jalr equivalent. We hat enough colleges already. Although the col lege is not open, is there not to-day 1 corps of professors In the pay of the Govern ment? If so, why is Itso? Whatever political differences maj arise between us we shall not on oui part, allow any feeling to enter. We are no convinced that there is enough In this cam palgn to bring abont excitement or aliena tiou between neighbors. This State has hat some pretty roueh experiences In the past and it can likely stand whatever Is In ston for It in the future. The candidates are botl Edgefield men, and they are both men o ability, but Id fact neither has much powe: lor official good or official evil. Personally, it matters little to us who draw the salary and issues the pardons to the peril tentiary crowd. But as between Tillman and Sheppard, w< will vote for Sheppard In the primary, ant will cast our ballot in November for the nom inee. We think Sheppard would be more llkel: to favor "equal rltrhts to all and special prlv ileges to none." For this reason, we suppor him.
