DuMaurier rhe author of Trilby is dead. Georgia went democratic on last Tuasday by a majority of 40,000. The resignation of Liquor Com missioner Mixson was "voluntary," in a horr. ""Jack-knife rebates don't count, for we all get these tokens of foud affection months ago. Judgo Witherspoon will not stand for re-election after the ex piration of his present (erm. Senato:: Tillman is out again. This time he ?3 to speak some where in the west. The next Legislature will have Borne work to do in the revision of the pension law. It needs some radical changes. That something is the matter with Hanna is abundantly evident from tho ivay he is sending "spell binders" to Illinoii and Indiana. Herr Most, the grand cyclops of anarchy ia America, has come out in a strong card cf endorsement for the gold standard. If Bryan be elected president ir is within the range of possibilities that Senator t illman will he mode Secretary of the Navy. Why do net our Clemson Col. lego authorities issue circulars of information and advice to farmers, as does the Georgia Department of agriculture? The most conservative estimates of the next Nati nial House of Rep. resentatives are, For Free Silver, 185 Foi Gold, 162 Doubtful, 10. A gallant ex-Confederate living near Vernonon, Alabama, who served as a Kentucky volunteer under Gen. Buckner during the war, was asked by Mr. Sam Shields the other day if he intended to vote for bis comrade next Novem ber. "Not much," was the reply ; "Gen. Buckner surrendered me once, when I couldn't help myself, but I don't intend that he shall do it again." Hanna Calls for Spellbinders. Bryan will devote the last eight davs of the campaign to Illinois? He will speak fifteen times in the city of Chicago alone, and if he does'nt win he deserves to. Mark Hanna is in Chicago already. He arrived in that city on Friday night last and, finding the situa tion a little different fiom what he expected, has been keeping the wires to New York hot ever since. His cry is for help. "Send on the orators, we will educate these people in spite of themselves" is the burden of Mark's song. By the way, Mark says he does'nt want common speakers ho wants "spell binders." In response to this ur gent appeal Foraker, of Ohio; the odore Roosevelt, of New York ; Warren Miller, every republican Governor, Seuator and congress men without limit, are preparing to go into the State from every point of the compass. These are to be under the leadership of Pres ident Harrison who is devoting the whole month of October to campaigu speaking. On the other side, to oppose thest; giants of the party of tiusts and monopolies* Bryan is almost all alone, but he isa veiitable daisy and the people are with him. The South Carolina Synod of the Presbyterian church convenes at Orangeburg on the 27tb Octo ber instant. lt is reported upon the best au thority that Mark Hanna has .$8,o00,000 to be distributed in In diana, Illinois, Iowa, and Ohio "where it will do the most good." Of this vast corruption fund $2,000,000 are to be used in the city of Chicago. William J. Bryan says : "The suc oepd of the'Chicago ticket is i.et dangerous to any man who wants to eat the bread he earns. The success of the Chicago ticket is dangerous only to the man who wants to eat the bread that some body else earns. The report of the Agricultural Department at Washing'on forth? month of Octobei shows a general average condition of the cotton crop to be 60. a decline of 3A per cent from last month. This is said to be tho lowest general average couditiou of this crop ever report ed for the month of October, and yet cotton continues to go down. It has been suggested that COL.. gressman McLaurin be invited to Charleston to tea-?h tho News ano Courier and its followers democra cy with a banquet afterwards to the ypeaker, but it does'nt seem to meet with much fayor. Would not Duncan be a better selection than McLaurin? He ought tobe kept before the public until he tells it all. The Barnwell People says: ' Gen. John M. Palmer, candidate of, the so-called National Demo crats, alias assistant Republicans^ for the Presidency, began life as a cloclc peddler, rose to be a barrel maker, fell to be a Republican, repented and became a Dem icrat and winds up by being anchored iti the shallow political waters, with his mate, Ex-Governor Buck ner, as decoy ducks to draw silly Democrats down to death." Bryan is a wonderful man. Here is his record for the campaign up to date : Number of speeches de livered, 268; cities and towns spo ken in, 172; States spoken in, 22; miles travelled since his nomina tion, 8,030; estimated number of words spoken on the stump, 230,800, miles travelled by all other Dem ocratic candidate since 1860, 6,196, number of speeches delivered by all other candidates, 166, Themost profound thinkers of our legislators elect are puzzled beyond measure as to what shall be done with the Dispensary law at their uext meeting in January. And if, in the meautime, the Supreme court of the United S'ates shall at its meetiug on next Monday de clare the whole thing unconstitu tional, they, will be more puzzled than ever, for in such event South Carolina would have prohibition and thousands of gallons of whis key ou hand belonging to the Slate that could not be sold. It will lj;> worse than "what you gwine tor do when your meal gives out,' and it may be that wo will have to give rebates to the liquor dealers to in duce them to take their stuff back Four acres and a cow were ?nco believed by the English agricul tural classes to denote an ideal condition of life. In this coun try it is shown by ideal census fig ures that there are twenty-seven milk cows tor every 100 persons, which means at least one cow for every family, while the acreage is far larger than the English ideal. Perhaps the English farmer would be thoroughly satisfied with this, but the American is more ambi tious, and looks for something bet ter.-Southern Cultivator. Hold Your Cotton Seed. The Department of Agriculture of Georgin advises farmers not to sell their cottou seed for less than 15cts. a bushel as it is worth that on the farm for manure, and to tha oil mills as much. In a re recent communication Commis sioner Nesbitt says on this subject: "I li a vo always endeavored to convince the farmers of Georgia that it would not pay them to sell their cotfon seed at $7,00 per ton, 10^ cents a bushel. The haul of the seed must be counted against tho farmer, and cannot be estima ted at less than $1.00 per ton, leav ing him $6.00 per ton-or less than 9 cents per bushel. As meal is selling for about $1S.00 per ton, you will be giving three tons of seed for one of meal. Three tons of seed contain of nitrogen 3b\6 pounds, of phospho ric acid 5.2 pounds, and of potash 34.2 pounds, more than the ton ot cotton seed meal, worth in the ag gregate .$6.40. "When you bell your seed do not do it for less than 15 cents per bushel or $10.00 per ton, for when you sell for less you are simply giving away valuable fer tilizing material, nud not only giv ing it away, but furnishing a team and hauling it to the purchaser yourself. In the above calcula tion no value has been given to the mechanical effect of tha whole seed when used as a fertilizer, though ev^ry farmer knows (hat in useingthe whole seed he adds con siderable humus to the soil, and renders stiff t'hiy soils more fri able and easier of cultivation. Col. Mixs.m, State Liquor com missioner, has resigned. In his letter of resignation he says: "It has been my desire for some months to resign rny position as State Commissioner, but on ac count of the many rumers and slanderous reports in circulation, I could not alford to do so, prefer ing to wait an, investigation by your honorable board. Yon have conducted the investigation and have exonerated me folly from any wrong-doing and I now len der you this resignation to lake ef fect as soon as you gentlemen can uame my successor or i,? any other manner relieve me of the duties." Wheat." The best land foi wheal should be underlaid by a good, clay sub soil, the situation should be hi^h and dry, and the drainage suffi cient. Towards the last of this month is the usual time for sowing in the more northern sec tioned!: the cotton belt. At the South the rad-bearded varieties ar<: best suited. By careful selection of soi s atid varieties, thorough preparation and judicious fertiliz ing, we may make a supply for family use; but our section is not, in the main, suited to the raising of wheat, and it should not there fore be made a leading crop. There is very little land with us natural ly rich enough for wheat, but it may be made so artificially.- If stable manure or cotton seed aro used they should bo plowed in ; if cottou seed meal or commercial fertilizers, they may be harrowed. But the land should be deeply plowed and brought to a fine tilth. After the seed are sown, roll. This will give a firm seed bed and cause a more uniform aud a better stand. It will also lessen the danger of injury from severe frost. As a fore runner of wheat there is no better crop than field peas.-Southern Cultivator. $ but not more so than the quickly ?
