Tho Pardoning Poner.
Will artioles of impeachment have
to bo foui ul ngftiust Joint F?tor
Richardson, Governor of South Ca
rolina, for tho abuso of tho pardon
< ing powor vosteii in tho hoad of tho
Excoutive Department of tho State
Government? Verily it begins to
.look liko nothing short of thu; will
stay tho wholosalo liberation of
criminals ho is turning looso f upon
society.
'Beginning in April last with tho
emancipation of R. II. Jacobs, tho
?layor, of Dook Hughes, hi Green
ville county, because, forsooth, his
confinement within prison walls was
preying upon his mind and might be
injurious to his health, thero has not
a month elapsed without a pardon.
Just now wo hear tho wail of the
widow and orphan going up from
ovory part of our Stato because tho
''hand of violence has laid low in tho
gravo tho husband and father. The
courts and juries aro severely con
demned for failure to conviot, so
much so, that many arc ready to
conies* it io bo a fucv that Ibo ad
ministration of justice in South Ca
rolina has fallen into a stato of "in
nocuous desuetude."
But why call upon tito courts and
juries to convict tito red-handed
or:m innis when their just punish
ment ir; averted by tito Chief Execu
tive of the Stato ?
Tho recent pardon of Hyman is
in point. Five years ago this man
slew his mistress, Fannie Cochran,
at her own door in Charleston, in a
brutal and cowardly manner. lie
was found guilty of manslaughter
and sentenced to twenty years in tito
penitentiary. After serving ii vc
years tho Governor pardons him, so
wo aro told, because he was Ute Only
Jew in the penitentiary; because the
woman ho killed was ot' bad charac
ter; because tho prisoner's conduct
since confinement has been good, and
last, but not least, because his Ex
cellency is assured that Hyman will
leave tho State.
Surely race should not enter ii.to
tho enforcement of the punishment
prescribed for murder or manslaugh
ter. It was all thc more shaine and
reproach to Hyman that ho was the
BO]O representative of the Hebrew
people in our Stato prison. What
should the disreputable character of
.his victim have to do with his par
don? Our civilization does not pre
scribe this method for exterminating
fallen women. Why should his
good conduct while in prison affect
h?8 release? His good behaviour
should bc attributed to tho fear of
punishment which is permitted and
ofton healthfully administered in
that institution for thc violation of
its rules.
Perhaps one or all of these co
gent (?) reasons wero not sufficient
to call forth the wonted e.vereise of
executivo clemency, but his ExcelT
louey would vary the monotony by
making Hyman's pardon conditional
on his leaving the State. Has
it come to this that South Carolina,
through her Governor, must supply
lier sister Stales with convicts and
murderers to teach their citizens the
ethics of the Bowio knife, pistol and
shot-gun policy?
LoCour Legislature scrutinize with
zealous caro thc reasons whieh Gov
ernor Richardson assigns for his
numerous pardons in the annual re
port ho is compelled to furnish this
body.
Tho Publie Schools.
Much has boon said and written
from time to time about the common
school System of our State. Even a
casual observation will convince one
that the system is not Accomplishing
all the good it should. Everywhere
there is a demand for better schools
and better teachers. I bit when we
consider the limited means with
which the schools have been run in
tho past, wo do not wonder at their
inefficiency J we only wonder at the
training and education which they
have wrought.
The system within itself wc be
liove to bo an admirable one, but it
takes money to make the mare go,
and thero is as little usc in trying to
run tho schools of thc Slate without
money ns there is to develop her
material resources. Tho one cnn be
no more easily done than tho other.
To cut a long matter short, what
docs our school system most need ?
yZQjtoney ! More Money t i No one
can gainsay this.
A terni of only three months in
tho year, during whieh the public
schools can bo open and free to all,
is a shame and disgrace to thc State
at large. It shows on its face that
less than half work is being done.
What then must bc done? There
is but ono answer, raise more money
by taxation, double the school fund,
do it manfully, boldly, squarely and
. with tho full knowledge of every
taxpayer.
Thero is no lime for any more
whining, whimpering and putting in
tho poverty plea, if wo aro in oarnost
about oduoating tho children of tho
State. If our Republican govern
ment i? founded in the intelligent
love and patriotism of our people,
of all the people, then publio edu
cation becomes a positivo and -pow
erful factor in our civilization.
Whore, then, is tho wisdom iii cutting
off tho prnoticnl oflicienoy of our
common school system by donying it
the monoy plainly necessary to mako
it a success ?
Therefore, wo agreeo fully with
tho Columbia Register in its issuo of
tho ll th instant, when it says :
?Wo have boen whipping tho do
vil around the stump by acts au
thorizing supplemental local taxation
for our schools and what not. lint
whilst this has worked well in intel
ligent and liberal communities, in
others, whore the people, as a i'ule,
aro poor, ignorant and indifferent,
and do not believe in "school lam
in'," it dou't work at all. Thcso aro
exactly thc kind of peoplo wo want
to get nt. Theso aro tho communi
ties that need enlightenment most,
and thoso for whom a proud Stato
should mako thc most strenuous ef
forts, if general enlightment be an
essential foaturo of a progressiva
and an enlightened State. Throw
light in the dark cornera !
"Now, then, why not meet tho situ
ation at once, and just whore it can
bo most successfully, summarily and
completely mot: in tho Legislature;
in tr.c Legislature, v.here thc cn
lightened public opinion of tho
whole State is supposed to bo repre
sented; in the Legislature, where
thc dark corners cannot vote down
enlightenment; iii the Legislature,
Whore the resources of the whole
State will be brought to boar upon
tho whole system, and poor and 'Help
less communities, struggling for a
bare subsistence, will not bc left out
of tho pale of educational advance
ment. Let us move on and not
hang back in the day of our educa
tional progress. Let the State, and
the whole State, as one body politic,
meet the demands of our education
al situation by supplementing by
legislative enactment what is neces
sary lo make the two mill Constitu
tional tax a positive blessing to all
classes of the pcoole and the whole
State, as ii was intended to bo. Make
shot t work of the whole case, and
then seo to it that we have good
County Commissioners and good
County Educational Hoards, and
good teachers. South Carolina, in
this matter, has her all in her ow h
hands. Let her bc true to it as one
of her most solemn trusts.
"Plainly, wc cannot put thc sys
tem on starvation appropriations,
and then complain of its compara
tive incflieiency. Wo cannot have a
bridge that can be used for only
throe months in the year and then
complain that it affords so little help
to the' wants of thc community.
Put up your money and then yon
may talk, and talk to a purpose."
Tko Cotton Crop.
Thc August crop report of the
Department of Agriculture makes
the condition of cotton 89.3, through
out the Southern States, being an
advance of nearly two points during
tho month of July. In South Caro
lina the condition has been improved
by good seasons, though there has
been some local damage from excess
ive rains.
The averages of condition by
States arc: Virginin 68, North
Carolina 80, South Carolina 90,
Georgia Ol, Florida 06, Alabama 90,
Mississippi 88, Louisiana 02, Texas
91, Arkansas 08, Tennessee 78.
Tho caterpillar and boll worm aro
occasionally mentioned in Missisisppi
and Louisiana and in several Coun
ties of Texas, but the damage from
them is as yet inappreciable.
District Conference Echoes.
A correspondent of the Greenville
Enterprise and Mountaineer says:
"Walhalla did tho handsome thing
in entertaining tho Conference.
Homes were easily provided for tho
entertainment of ono hundred and
li fly-one persons-and when we say
homes, we do not mean stopping
places. Their doors were thrown
wide open and their hearts still wider
and every one found such a welcome
as could have possibly been wished
for or imagined. Tho people were
found to be line entertainers, hos
pitable and clever. Never was n
Conference entertained handsomer
or better.
The Knslcy Messenger says :
"Kev. J. li. Anderson,(col.,) of the
?Colored M. li. Church in America,'
was prcsontod to thc Conference by
tho President. Mr. Anderson rep
resented a church which had been
founded by the M. 10. Church, South,
and asked help to build a church at
Hodges, Abbeville county. A col
lection was raised and $2f) placed in
the hands of thc < I b other in Black.'
who returned his heartfelt thanks in
a short speech and left on tho next
train for Lowndosvillo to attend the
District Conference of ins church.
"But any account of the Confer
ence would be defectivo without
mention of tho hospitality of tho
generous Christians of Walhalla.
They opened their homes and hearts
to the delegates, and did all that
Southern hospitality could do to
make them feel at home. The writer
feels that he speaks for all, when
bc asserts that he was completely
captivated by tho kindness so lavish
ly bestowed on him. If tho Con
ference ever goes to Walhalla again
ho earnestly desires lo be there."
The Seneca Free Press says :
"Too much cannot bc said in
praise of the Christian hospitality of
the citizens of Walhalla and Wost
Union. Their homes and churches
wore thrown open to the visiting
body, and all vied iii their efforts to
render tho session pleasant and profi
table. The delegates carry pleas
ant remembrances of Oconee's onpi
Farmers at Pendleton.
Tho annual io-union of tho farm
or? at Pendleton, on tUej 7th, 8th and
Oth of Auguat, was of tho most
interesting oharaoter. It was tho
occasion of thc summer meeting of
the Slate Agricultural and Mcohanl
cal Society and the State Grange.
President Humbert called the
meeting to order and prayor was of
fored by Kev. N. B. Clarkson.
Cpi. R* Wi Simpson, on behalf of
Intendant Sitton, warmly welcomed
tho pcoplo to Pondloton, and then
tho Hon. Augustine T. Smythe, of
Charleston, delivered tho regular ad
dress of wolconio. To this Presi
dent Humbort eloquently responded.
Mr. I). K. Norris, President of
tho Pondloton Agricultural Society,
delivered an address on behalf of
tho society, to which tho Hon. W.
K. Thompson, Worthy Master of
tho State Grange^ replied in a face
tious and happy manner.
Aftor these preliminary pyrotech
nics had concluded, tho real work
began and tho first essay was read
by Dr. T. J. McKee, of Edgofiold,
on "Thc preservation of land by ter
racing vs. hillside ditching." It was
a thoughtful and able paper and pro
voked considerable discussion, in
which Gen. Hagood, Aaron Cannon,
of L?ttrons, R, 1<\ Oraytoh, of An
derson, 1). Iv. Norris, of Pendleton,
.J. Wash Watts, of Laurens,Hon. A.
T. Smythe, of Charleston, Hon. W.
K. Thompson, of Sumter, Col. D.
P. Duncan, of Union, and Nathan
Halcombe, of Pendleton, partici
pated.
After dinner Mr. J. J. laicas, of
Society Hill, road an admirablo pa
per on grape culture and wine-mak
ing. This was followed by an excel
lent and ably prepared scientific pa
per on tho value of cotton seed meal
as a food for stook by W. B. Burney,
State Chomist and Professor of
Chemistry in the State University.
It elicited animated discussion among
the members.
Among the prominent men of the
State present were cx-Govorror
Bonham, ex-Governor Hagood, Con
gressman ?J. S. Cothran, Col. E. P.
Mciver, J. C. P. Sims, L. A. Ran
som, of Columbia; E. L. Roche, F.
E. Taylor, R. E. Seabrook, J. B. E.
Sloan, W. G. Hinson, Starling Hin
son, of Charleston; John Townsend,
Dr. 1). T. Pope, Edisto; D. P. Dun
can, Union; Squire McBee, Col. O.
P. Mills, Greenville; F. W. McMas
ter, Dr. W. B. Burney, Milton Whit
ney, Major Benjamin Sloan, Colum
bia; Coi. T. W. Holloway, Pomaria;
J. Wash Watts, Laurens; B. R. Till
man, Edgofiold; W. IL Foster,
Greenwood, and many others.
On tl io second day there was a
full attendance of the members and
spectators, although tho stock show
drew a number of people away from
tlie meeting. Thc address of tho
day was delivered by Congressman
J. S. Cothran, on the "Dignity of
Labor." He treated his subject in a
masterly manner, referring to tho
fact that thc true meaning of the
word "dignity," as translated from
the Latin word was "worthy" and
boneo tho man who labored assidu
ously lent and awarded a peculiar
dignity to the vocation of every la
boring man. Judge Cothran was
frequently interrupted by applause.
His ideas of tho negro problem and
its solution wore sound and logical,
oleciting a great deal of favorablo
comment and applause.
Tho only paper read was one on
"Forage Crops," by Col. T. J. Mooro,
of Spartauburg. It was a carefully
prepared paper and imparted a deal
of information.
From ten o'clock tho exhibition
ring for stock was thronged by a
dense crowd, who threatened to
break down tho ropes and como in
side. The number of these specta
tors was variously estimated from
three tr? six thousand. The latter
figure is probably the most correct
one.
All around thc extensive grove in
which the ring was staked were
tho numerous exhibits of cattle and
horses.
The number of persons entering
these WP.? largo, but tho most, nota
ble of thc exhibits were those of A.
T. Smythe, F. J. Politer, J. C. Strib
ling, A. 1). Bowon and R. E. Sloan
of cattle, and those of J. E. Lewis,
J. W. Shclor, \V. J. McGee, J. A.
Shanklin, Hester & Day, A. G.
Duckworth, J. C. Stribling and W.
J. McGee Tho exhibits represented
Anderson, Goonoo, Bickens and Ab
beville Counties.
.Music that lent an inspiring effect
to the occasion was furnished by the
Young America Hand, of Anderson,
and the colored band of Pendleton.
Tho first class of horses called
WftS stallions over three years old,
Standai bred. Two entries were
made, *?i d prizes were awarded to
J. E. Lewis' "Margin," and J. W.
Shelor's "Seneca Bismark," *3.
A number of premiums were
awarded for heavy roadsters, heavy
draft horses and other stock, Jersey
cattle, Holsteins and graded stock.
A special premium offered by J.
E. Lewis for tho bostfccolt sired by
his stallion, "Margin," elicited vory
sharp competition, over a dozen
horses being entered. The prize
was awarded to W. R. Crowder, of
Abbeville, tho owner of perhaps the
finest 8 year old trotting filly in
South CafoiUa.
Tho stock show in general was ex
cellent. A gentleman who is autho
rity said that nowhere in Kentucky,
oxeopt perhaps at Frankfort or Lex
ington, could suoh a display bo
brought together.
Tho acting judges woro T. L. Bu
low, of Fairfield, and Col. .Robert
Aldrioh, of Barnwell.
Tho oattle premiums wero award
ed by Capt. O. P. Mills, of Groon
ville, who aetcd as judge in this de
partment.
Tho fruit show, undor tho aus
pices of tho Farmers' Sooiety, was
held in tho Farmors' Hall to-day.
Excellent exhibits of all kinds of
fruits wore on hand. Notablo exhi
bits of grapes woro mado by II. B.
Buist and Dr. A. T. Weldon, of
Greenville; Gon. John C. Anderson,
of Spartanburg, and tho Ooonce
Grapo Growors' Assooiution. This
last exhibit comprised about ono
hundred varieties of grapes. Tito
farmers around Pendleton showed
fino specimens of all kinds of fruits,
and Col. F. O. Sanders, of Sumter,
brought up a watermelon which
weighed seventy pounds.
Tho affair is undoubtedly a gran.d
success both as to tho numbers pro
sent and tho entertainment afforded,
In the afternoon tho greater num
ber of exhibitors mot and organized
tho Horticultural Society of South
Carolina. Tlie officers elected wore:
President, H. B. Buist; Vice Fresh
dont, John C. Anderson, Spartan
burg; Secretary, G. Wanner, Wal
halla; Treasurer, G. W. Gignilliat
Seneca; Executive Committee, II
B. Buist, John C. Anderson, G
Wanner, G. W. Gignilliat, H. S
Trescot, J. H. O'Neil and B. R. Till
man. Twenty-eight members wen
enrolled. Tho interest taken in tin
fruit show here stimulated inter?s
in horticultural industry and led t<
the formation of their society. Tin
efforts of G. Wannor, of Walhalla
have been very energetic and he de
serves great credit for the work h
has done.
On the third day the interest ii
the proceedings did not flag. Pro
minenco was given to tho fruit show
Not only were thc exhibits there o
an excellent character, but the in
torest manifested showed beyon
question that grape growing an
wine making are fast becoming lead
ing industries with the people c
South Carolina and of the Piednioi
section especially. This when con
bined with tho indefatigable effori
of grape growers like G. Wanne
of Walhalla, H. B^Buiat, of Greei
ville, and others made the orgnnizi
tion of a State Horticultural Sociof
an easy matter when tho organizi
tion was proposed.
The Farmers' Hall, which is f
excellent place for such exhibition
was filled with exhibits of tlie mo
excellent character. Most not
worthy among these was that of tl
Oconeo County Grapo Growers' A
sooiation, who filled a spacious pyr
mid in the centre of tho house wi
a show of specimens of half a hu
dred varieties as grown on the vin
clad hills around Walhalla.
All the specimens woro excelle
and all parts of thc State were i
presented. t
The Farmers' Institute, which w
held under the auspices of tho Stn
Board of Agriculture, convened
ten o'clock. Gon. Johnson Hagoc
Chairman of che Board, presided.
In a few well timed rc.narks, (?
neral Ilagood introduced Col. D.
Duncan, of Union, who made t
opening address.
Tho first regular essayist w
Chancellor W. D. Johnson, of Unie
who made a very valuable address
"Thc use of nitrato of soda as a fi
tilizcr." Chancellor Johnson's c
perienco with this chemical f?rtil
ing agent has extended over porhfl
a longer period than any farmer
tho State. Ho handled his subj*
in a very clear and entertaining mt
nor, and showed his own succesi
with this fertilizer and produced 1
ters concerning the experience
many farmers who had experiment
witli it, in every ease showing bei
ficial results.
The question was discussed
several farmers who bad learn
much from Chancellor Johnson's i
dress.
Col. J. C. Coit, of Ciieraw, rc
an elaborate article on "What 1
been the leading cause of faih
among Southern farmers since I
war?"
After Colonel Coit, Professor IV
ton Whitney, of the State Expt
mental Station, discussed the cpi
tion, "Are fertilizers more profita
at the South than at tho Nortl
(Professor Whitney presented tabu
I statements of thc comparative p
ductiveness of lauds at the No
and South and other statistics of
valuable character.
Tho address of Col. J. H. R
of Abbeville, was on "How can
rivers and streams be proven
from filling with sand?"
Just before the adjournment,
lonol J. Wash Watts, of Lauri
introduced tho following resolut
whioh was adopted by a unaniui
vote;
?Resolved, Tba* tho thanks of the
'State Agricultural and Mechanical
Sooioty, and tho Grange and tho
\State Hoard cf Agriculture are duo
and are hereby most heartily ten
dered to tho citizens of the town
and to the Pendleton Farmers' So
oioty for tho kind hospitality ox
tended to the members of thc sovo
ral bodies during their stay in their
midst."
Tho afternoon was taken up with
trotting races between some flyers
of notorioty on somo of tito , pretty
streots of tho town.
Tho stock fair and agricultural
mooting is now closed. Visitors
havo been boro without numbers and
of as many different classes. Hore,
tho devotee of Agriculture has
.learned muoh for his enlightenment;
hore, the lover of horso flesh has
feasted his eyes on tho prettiest ag
gregation of blooded beauties in tho
Southorn States; hore, tho dairyman
has seen herds of yellow skinned
Jerseys that would move in high cir
oles on tho green hill-sides in the
Lily's little island homo, and groat
Holsteins that would make covotous
the heart of tho oity butcher;
hore, tho horticulturist lins scon as
perfect a collection of luscious fruits
ns the vineyards of the Rhino and
tho combined orchards of tho conti
nent might sot before ibo envious
eyes of tho weaker mortal, and boro
overy ono has enjoyed tho hospita
lity of a people as generous and as
kind ns any that live in a State so
well known for those qualities ns
South Carolina. Surely all havo
carried away with them recollections
that will be fresh oven in tho yoars
to come.
Tho above account of tho three
days' meeting has been made up
principally from our exchanges.
