The Ferry at Peak and its Con- !
'/ :*v dition. . j
' Mr.. Editor? Please allow me a j
,*4 Small space iu your colamus to state
; tbe condition of the ferry at this
place. It has m>t been iu operation
for at less: one ytar. About two j
months ago -the merchants called a
. . meeting to look after the matter aod, :
after a diligeDt investigation, we ;
fonod that a cltarfer was granted in |
1S80 to P. it. Dominick, J. L !
Domimck aud-Jobu S- Swygerfc. A j
committee ^astbeo appointed to wait
oo*the parties and ascertain whether j
' . Dot the? tvoald assign the charter to
a company, provided they would establish
a free ferry at an early date.
The parties were promptly waited on.
Mr. F. H. Doraioick at once signed
tbe papers, but tbe other two parties
refased to daso unless we would pay
V . , , . 1,1
them $75 for the oia wire, experts
have examined the wire and decide
that it is uot^htScient to carry a fiat
across Bro$d.>&ver. Tbe second
raeetidg was called, and at that
meetiqg-we rdofryed information that
the CouatyCoHfojtissioners of Fairfield
county wonflftpay one-half of
tbe expenses of,a new ferry if tb9
Com$1^jokers of ?e*iogton county
woold pay the other"" half, provided
tbe merchants of Peak, who had met
and organized a company, wonld
keep tbe ferry in a good condition
The same was submitted to the
County Commissioners of Lexington,
and on tbe fifteeotb of July tbe matter
was acted upon and tbey decided .
to take no part in this action on, the
ground that it did not benefit the !
whole of Lexington coauty. Now,
, I am frank to say that that Board did
not look the matter sqaaroly in the
face or they did not fully understand
all tbe surrouoding circumstances in
volved in this ferry at Peak. I do not
only contend that a ferry at this place
will benefit LexiDgton county, bat it
will benefit Fairfield, Newberry and
the traveling pnbhc at large Dr.
SicDpaoQ of Prosperity, came here a
few days ago from Chester, on his
way.home, and on account of no ferry
he was forced to leave his buggy and
horse on the Fairfield side and hire
a conveyance to reach bis home, it
being on Sanday and no trams on onr
road. Also, a gentleman, three days
ago. who resides in Laurens, met
with the same fate. I think it just
as necessary for ' County Commissioners
to establish free ferries across
Broad and Saluda rivers for the benfit
of the coonty as it is to establish
bridges across creekjs aod braccbes
in the couuty.
Well, now, I will say to onr Commissioners
that the citizens of Peak
are not particular about small matters,
and hs they have met the third
time aod subscribed a sufficient
amonnt of mooey to buy a new
wire ftod?a new outfit, cow we ssk
our County Commissioners to look
after these masters at once. Put us
in possession of the charter, or show
to us in what way we shall pursue to
have this chartered ferry pot in operation.

this matter will not he delayed. At

Mr. S>itok: I see in your paper of
-* May, 29, 1889, a notice from the
County Comm:ssioneis which reads
N thus: *
"All persons cultivating along the public
roads are hereby i oiified not to plough
within the limits of the road. Ail persons
failing to comply with this request will De
indicted."
Will the Commissioners be kind
enough to tell tis how we are tokoow
when we are ploughing in said roads
when there are no limits marked,
ouly as the wagous mark tbem, tbut
is, just-as wide as one wheel is from
the other, therefore, the limit is from
one rut to the other. A*ud do the
Commissioners think any one so siliy
as to plant a crop between the wagon
rute? The law says the lftuit of* a
public highway is to be twenty feet
instead of five or e>s: feet. I thmk
"there s as much chance for ic.dictiDg
the Commissioners, or a little more,for
negleet of duty. 1 know of roads that
have been in h bad fix all the year
There have been holes iu the bridges
that a man could have fallen through
and hurt himself, and horses and
mules couid have got their feet ai d
legs through and crippled them; and
bog holes io the road that horses aod
Qiules would bog up to their bellies
and wagons go .dowu to the hubs,
aii?i the road was almost impassible
with loads. Aod the overseer
and the hands went the
1
road and djd a little work yin
so'jqo""pi~-tces 1uKT*^s^,ttie_ h-Yg holes
alone. I am told that the Cum at is
stooers hired other hands, a wagon
and team to haul some pine straw in
the bog holes Now, if the overseer
aod hands are to walk over the road
and work ouly the easiest part of the j
r.iu.-t and thft Hornmissioners hire the i
r$st done, or sbow partiality to some !
by hiring tbeir road worked and raak- ;
ing others do all their work, I think
!
it qnite hard. I think the county has I
about enough taxes to pay any way j
withont hiring the road worked, un- |
less all of the roads are to be worked
in that way.

rale, are dangerous weapons, but
when the force that speeds them on

by paternal kindness, they become !
formidable allies of I he rod of cor- j
rectioo, the sparing of which is j
cruelty.
You can doubtless claim the blessing.

Farmers Organize.
lix'-Address Delivered Before the Lexington

Dr. H. GfrEleazer.
.V
Mr. Pr^ient, and Brother a of the
AUtiaift:
The time has come when all trades
ind professions have organizations for
he special benefit ofj^eir professions,
rhe merchants have>?pfeir "Trade Unon,"
their "Chambers nf^ Commercdtf
md their "Boards of Trade" ; the phy^
nans have their"Medicai Associations,"
jven the common day laborers have
hoir Kniohts of Labor." The farm
1V> - jv"** ^ ~ ~ j
irs alone seem to jog along "every
nan for himself' until a necessity
vhich/fhey cannot avoid has thrust itself
lpon them and they, too, have underakeri
to try what virtue there is in
initl^systematic endeavor to better
heicjropdition. Let us inquire for a
nomlnfi into some of the causes
vhidftivEikes it a necessity for the
armerffco organize, ^fe feel the oppregjpon&f

mi^Ts of^scrupuloos'ifodiratuals and
jo^inaaans who either, singly or in
)r&izOT&>s called #trusts,? control
h^pric^SBfif. articles?^whick^ farmers
tre compelled to purchase. There are
.'arious remedies suggested, but none
)f them can be made efficient so long I
is the farmers remain io an unorgan- I
zed condition. Each individual left
;o battle alone against such immense
)dds become an easy prey to the appe- I
:it?of the insatiable monopolist. Thus,
H#> wlinlf* class of farmers, who con
ititute a majority of our population, are
kept clown t'o the will of the most
grinding tyranny of which it is not possible
to conceive in a (so-called) free
country.
What is the result of these evils? or,
perhaps, I had better ask, is there any
remedy? I answer, yes, there is a remedy
; and shall now undertake to prescribe,
and trust to the wisdom, patience,
ind perseverance of the farmers themselves
to apply it.
And, first; I say, we must erganize.
There never has been any great
thing accomplished without united and
persistent effort. The Farmers' Alliance
is now the great organization
which we hope and believe will be the
means through which we will arise from
the abject condition which we occupy
to day and show that we are a part,
md a very important part, of the popjlation.
By thus uniting, the advantages
we will be able to gain are beyond
calculation. The great need of the
farmers to-day, is more information on a
threat many subjects, We need to
neet together for the interchange of
news upon practical topics of farm
work And what greater opportunity
for this exchange of views can we hope
for than are offered in the meeting in
the Alliances.
The social feature of these organisations
is another gfjgat advantage to
ye derived from the * membership in
he Alliace. Farmers, as a rule, do not
cultivate sociability qs they should.
By frequent meetings, they learn more
t)f each other's plans and methods of
farming than they ever could learn by
my other process. And, when all the
farmers of the country are united in
me grand Alliance, working together
for the mutual, benefit of each other.

must buy, and thus do away with the
profits of a half dozen intermediate or
middle men, all of whom must make a
Drofit, and, just think, what an Immense
saving this will be to the farmers.
But it will require time and patient
work for this consummation .to be
Drought about. We should not be
discouraged, however, because it may
ake years of waiting and working before
we can reach our ideal in this
matter.
We should be very careful in admitting
peisons into the Alliance, be:ause
the success of the organization
depends in a great measure on the
union of such material as will be solid
and firm. Many persons will be drawn
into it by the prospect of accomplishing
all that is hoped for in a very short,
time, and when they realize the fact
that their bright expectations are not
fulfilled, will become dissatisfied with

There are two classes of people in ' 1
this world: those who make fools of i
themselves, and those who don't i i
need lo. j i
perhaps defeat the very objects most
earnestly to be desired.
We should not be too extravagant in
our talks to people on the subject, but
should realize the stupendous magnitude
of the difficulties to be met and
overcome. The money power is
strong, far too strong to be dealt with
lightly and rashly, but requires mature
deliberation and an intelligent determination
to meet and conquer this oppressive
and mighty giant.
~vWhen the farmers of this great
country uvAte firmly and intelligently
pursue the main o'ujecxs of our order,
then, and, not till thefr;- may we
hope to achieve something akin to justice
in all our commercial transactions.
Then prices will be regulated by the
fundamental law of trade based upon
supply arid demand and not upon the
venal, grasping and tyrannical dictatesof
"trusts" and* monopolizing combinations.
We shall then be in a position
to help each Other and enjoy the
advantages to be gained by uniting our
forces.
Let us be honest from principle, not
merely from the fact that honesty is the
best policy, but because it is right. Let
us stand firmly on the principle that crnr
calling as farmers is a noble one and
demands and must receive the respect
and consideration which its importance
demands as a source of all our wealth
and the parent of all our necessities
and many of our luxuries.
Many persons of other professions
look upon the farmer as a very insignificant
individual, who is a necessity
in his way, but not to be classed upon
an equality with others of a inore refined
and cultivated class, rather look
down upon him and are ready to ridicule
him as an undignified and conteniptable
being. But, if we carry out
the principles of our order, all these"
things will be remedied and the farmer
will be recognized as the most important
part of our population. .We will
then be able to educate our children
and let them take their place in the
great battle field of life and still more
be able to meet the requirements of
an advanced age of civilization.
But, before we reach this grand object,
we must expect to meet difficulties
of gigantic proportions; we must
sven be prepared for several defea ts,
but with the proper spirit of unity and
mutual confidence, coupled with
m unconquerable will, I can see no
-eason why we shall not accomplish all
;
this and even greater things tTiau we j
now expect.
Let us take courage fi^m the fact
that all over !h s great country the j
farmers are waking up, and in a very ;
short time the whole country will* be
one united brotherhood conUiijing all
farmers, and working together harmoniously
and successfully for the advancement
of the great cause for
which we are now working and earnestly
hoping. Let us not be discouraged
when met by obstacles, but with
a resolve that we will not give up at
defeat, pursue the object until victory
shall have perched upon our banner
and the multitude of farmers rally to
onr standard.

"Watermelon J
Barnwell Sentinel.
A few weeks ago Col. \Y7. H. Dnncan
suggested, through the -News and
Courier, that our farmers turn their
large crop of watermelons which
could not be shipped prr^v^f>ly od3
account of the excessive Railroad
freight, into syrup. This 6nggestior,
coming from one so eminently practical,
and from North Carolina to
Texas, the papers are bringing reports
tbat parlies are making ao excellent
syrup from their melons.
Iu our last week's issue our Blackville
correspondent tells us tbat every r
cock pot aod wash pot io that section
has been scoured out and impressed
into successful syrup boilers.
One of our neighbors, Mr. S- K.
Peacock, reports the followiog satisfactory
statement: From tight avererage
size melons he made one galioo
of extra fine syrup?such syrup a9
could not be bought iu the market
at retail for less than seventy five
cents per gallon. Mr. Peacock sajs
that he is satisfied th,at ifytha. bad"
boiled a little longer he would have
made sugar, as crystahzition had
alrtorltr hconn
If we concede that the gallon of
syrop made by Mr. Peacock was only
worth fifty cents, it places the valoe
of hie eight melons at six and onefourth
cents each. Thiok of Jthis,
farmer friends, six and one fourth
cents for melons of average size, at
your own homes, and the use of the
rinds, the seed and pressed palp for
stock food. It is not too late yet to
convert a large portion of the-nation
crop into syrup. Over-ripe melons,
sun-baked melons, ill-shaped melons,
and melons too small for shipment
can all be utilized. If our farmers
will hasten to be wise, they will find
the way to smash* the railroad
trust and the sngar
trust lies in just such directions as
Colonel Duncan's timely suggestion
has given to the melon crCp.
