KEOWBE COURIER. ?. A. THOM l'MON'. I>. A. SMITH. li. T. JAYNF.H. BY THOMPSON) SMITH & JAYNES. THURSDAY, AUGUST 14, 1890. Agriculture. Much lins boon said 'mid written of lato about tho depression of agricul ture, and various expedients proposed in tho shape of nbw-fangled legisla tion, for the ostensible purpose of roiioving this alleged depression. Now, wo desire to ask every farmer in Oconeo county to look about him, tako his proper bearings and seo by nu honest examination of his own condition if ho is not better off than in tho "days of yore," which, havo been cited by so many speakers and writers as the days of modo) pros perity in agriculture. Surely no ono will eiaim that tho farmors of this county, as a class, nre in a worse condition than they were ton, twenty, thirty or forty years ago. Every man's experience and observa tion proves at once the absurdity of any such pretension. And what is true of Oconeo is equally true, in tho main, of every county in South Ca rolina and ovory other Southern State. But wo are told that statistics show that from 1800 to 1870 cotton sold at an averago price of 48 cents per pound; that from 1870 to 1880 at 10 cents per pound ; and since 1880 at an average of 11 cents per pound ; so, therefore, thc cotton farmer now paya four timen as much in the pro ducts of bis labor for a dollar as ho did in the years immediately after tho war. Well, BO it is ; but why not carry the comparison a little further and toll the whole truth by stating that thopurchasififf power of this dollar is four times as great now as it was immediately after thc war. It cannot be gainsayed that a pound of cotton will to-day purchase ns large a quan tity of farm supplies as it ever did nt any timo since thc war. The price of cotton, as well as all other articles of commerce, is getting back to what, it was in tho good old ante-bellum days. And Ibis state is brought about in obedience to the workings of the law of supply and demand ; for, after all, this is tho great law Which will always regulate thc price of farm products as well as those of thc artisan, tho mechanic and the manufacturer. The protective tariff is the only legalized obstruction to thc regular and natural workings of this universal law, and just here is where Congress eau give the most effective and substantial relief to thc Agriculture of tho country. Not by tho passage of tho sub-treasury scheme, as is now proposed, which, in our humble judgment, would do mischief and mischief only; but by the proper reduction of the tariff, so that the products of all producers, whether of tho farm or tho shop, would bo placed on an equal footing. Thc sub treasury scheme as al pre sent understood, we believe to bc wrong in principio, for neither right nor justice, can ho invoked for thc support of any measure, scheme or lav., which has for its object tho exclusive benefit, of any particular class or calling in the country. J ?ut this aside, wo fear tho Rel?eme would fail to give tho desired relief. Sup pose, as a simple illustration of its practical operation, ihat the iariuers of Oconeo should pince their cotton in the warehouse hore to await the vise in price for twelve months, and that tho wheat, meat and corn men of thc West house their prod nee. How much bettor off would the Oconeo fanner be should he succeed in getting twenty cents per pound for his cotton and then have to pay twice as much as now for his corn, meat and (lour? But should this Boheme become a law, wo may bo sure that not only the farmers, bul all producers, both of tho field, shoji and factory, will bc given the same opportunity of availing themselves of its advantages, if it has any, and thus all manufactured articles would bo advanced in price. An honest expression of our opinion constrains us to say that it is a shrewed scheme born in the brains of Republicans of tho Northwest, for tho purpose of breaking up tho Democratic party of tho Sout h by commit ting tho Albane to tho support of n vicious principle of paternal govern ment. \VL 'u once tho Democracy of tho South is divided into two factions, thc ono under thc leader ship of tho Alliance, endorsing tho sub-treasury, and tho balance of tho Democracy opposing it, tho Republi cans hope to break up the "Solid South." Another fact which it is claimed Argues depression, is thc growth of cities and the increase of persons and money engaged in other avoca tions. Wc are told that then; must be depression, because in I860 the farmers of tho United States owned 70 per cent of tho wealth of the country. That ?II 1800 they owned abolit tiO per cent of the-- wealth of thc country. In 1880 they owned about 83 per cont of tho wealth of the country, and in 1880 it is csti mated that they own a little loss than '?6 per cont of tho wealth of tho country. To. tho individual farmev this should ho a matter rathor of con gratulation than of rcgrot. It shows unmistakably to him that there must over bc a homo market, at least, for tho products of his farm, even though tariff laws should shut off foreign market?. It is to the interest of every man engaged in agriculture to have as little competition as possi ble in thc products of his farm, just as it is of every other profession to have ns little competition.ns possi ble in its specific lino of business. Tho Inst half century has witnessed in tho United States marvelous development in all thc arts, sciences, und inventions, which havo to do with thc material development of this wonderful land of <_ bal?sticas resource- Millioi. upon millions have been invested h lilroads, tele graph and telephone I. s, tho min-' ing of coal, iron, copper, uiver and gold manufacturing, and 1 ? build ing of towns and cities, i nd nil this is now only thc beginning ol that natural development ol' our great country along all thc lines of human activity, willoh happily lind herc a field for profitable employment. And sc far from tho greater proportionate increase of brains and money being found along these lines being a matter of discouragement to thc farmer, it. should lire bini with'fresh courage in his honest and honorable avocation of making thc earth to yield her increase. Reverse this order of things and put all thc men and money of thc nation into agri culture, and wdiat would bc thc value of each man's crop in dollars ami cents? There would be absolutely no demand for thc products of thc farm, and the fanner would surely enough have cause to bemoan his condition. It, must, therefore, bc self-evident to every fanner that his individual interest is enhanced by thc greater number engaged in oilier avocations. Wc freely admit, thal, in the many changes that have taken plano in thc last, fifty years, the fanner has suffered by the concentration of capital and thc creation of trusts and combines. All of these evils that can bc reached should bc struck down hy law, and we are glad to learn that Congress now has these various important matters under con sideration. Thc very fact thai, thc farmer feeds and clothes tho world insures him a market for his products, and thc quickest sale nt a reasonable price is thc best as a rule. What he wants, therefore, as his best guar antee of prosperity, is a free and open market with as little legislative interference as possible with thc operations of the universal law of ?supply and demand. The great, and imperative need of the fanning masses is more education, both liberal and technical. The head, the hand, and thc heart must, be educated, as the only safely of a free people. There in list be educa tion such as is furnished hy our pub lic and literary schools, also technion) or professional education, such as Clemson College proposes Lo give. Oconcc's Congressional Callina iff ll Meeting, Was hold Tuesday in thc Court House at Walhalla. There was n good attendance ol' l|ie citizens of the comity, and the best ol' attention was paul lo nie remarks id all thc speakers. The meeting was called to order at I 1 A. M. by Maj. S. I?. Dendy, who presided at thc request of County Chairman S. V. Strihling, who was absent in attendance on the Stale Convention, We regret that wc cannot give, as first intended, a synopsis of each speech separately, but owing to the crowded condition of our columns (his week it is impos sible to do SO. All the candidates were present, ami spoke in thc following order : I?, li. Bowen, W. I*. Calhoun, W. C. lionet, 1). K. Norris, K. I>. Murray and (loorgc Johnstone. They all expressed themselves freely and frankly on tho issues raised in thc present campaign, to thc great delight and inst nu t ion ol' their hoar d's. Thc burden of their discourse was answering thc questions pro pounded in what is now known as thc "Alliance Catechism." All, except Col. Norris, were opnosed to thc Sub-Treasury Hill as il now stands, but arc in favor of whatever legislation may be necessary to relieve the agricult ure ol' t bc count rv from thc domin?t ion of thc money power in the way of trusts, comers and combines. Col. Norris, however, endorses thc Sub-Treasury scheme, and is prepared lo stand for the bill, even independently of the party caucus, if necessary. Al! agreed in their opposition to tho government buying up and operating the railroad, steamboat and telegraph lines of the country. These two topics engaged thc greater part, of thc discussions, thc other si:K questions being answered generally in thc allirinative. All, except Col. Norris, would stand by thc party caucus. Tho six speeches occupied five hours, and wore listened to with minimi? d interest. Al l i\ M. the meeting ndjournod. Tue Hight to Rule. Uiul?r tho above caption tho Cot ton Plant of last week criticised in u column editorial thc idea Haid to have been expressed by Gen. Earle, at Orangeburg, that tho right to rule inheres in the intelligent portion of tho people. Wo agree entirely with the logic of our esteemed contempo rary, and believe that it preaches sound D?mocratie doctrine so far as applied to the white people the State. No man in South Carolina daren lo chum that a majority of the white people should not govern, and wo are persuaded ( Gen. Karlo docs not hold this view. His remarks, wo believe, applied to the negro ma jority which is known to exist in our State, and with this 'limitation wo think our eoteinpornry would en dorse tho teaching of Gen. Karlo. Otherwise it would at once surrender thc government into tho bonds of tho negroes, which it surely docs not mean lo do. It is just thc diff?rence that "tho nigger in tho wood pile" makes. Oconco County Methodist Sunday School Conference. The Oconco County Sunday School Conference, Methodist Episcopal Church, South, met in its lifth annual session at Jones' Chapel Church, near Fair Hay, on August 8th, 1800, at 1! A. M., Mr. 1). A. Smith, Presi dent, in thc chair. The Conference was called to order and [ira vcr made by I {ev. A. W. Walker. Thc roll was called and twelve members answered to their names, while others reported later. Thc reports ol* thc different schools wove handed ?ll. The hours of meeting ami adjourn ing were lived. Some interesting topics were dis cussed hy several of tho members. The following nominations were made hy a committee, all of whom were dn'.y elected for another year: I). A. Smith, President; J. W. Quil linn, Vice-'President; ?I. 1?. Sanders, Secretary. Some changes were made in thc constitution and by-laws. The committee >to whom was re ferred thc written reports of tho Sunday Schools made its report. Thc report shows seventeen Sunday Schools in tho county, fifteen having reported to this Con fe nuce. Ifin rollmcilt of pupils, 57S; average e.ttenduneo, about 309; teachers, OS; ollieers, '21; total OOo. 250 members of thc Sunday School arc reported as members of thc church. Thc indications ure thal more interest is being manifested in this important work. Ifivery ch undi, except two, has a Sunday School. There are many places ill which schools might bc started with profit to the commu nity and tho church. Thc committee recommended thal tho preachers and people hunt out such places and establish schools under their control at every possible point, where there will be m? conflict with tho regular schools already in operation; and that tho people be stirred up mort; generally in reference to tho regu larity ol' attendance. Thc Schools arc kept open ?ill the year, and thc committocc notes great improvement along this lino. The committee urge thal thc lixeeutivo Committee he requested to provide sonic plan to secure reports from every school, even if there arc no delegates pro sent, livery school uses thc Metho dist literature. Thc committee on the general st- 0 of thc Sunday Schools made t he following report : We have carefully considered the facts as wc have been able to get them and wc find a very considerable improvement, livery school uses our own Literature. This is wise, If we, as Methodists, expect our chil dren lo grow up in love of our church, wc must supply them with our own Church Literature. Il is tvpinl, and, we think, superior to any other, lt suited to our wauls, and is furnished at small cost. Just herc! your committee would given note of wonting. There is dan ger ol' using thc lesson paper to the exclusion of tho Hilde. Thc Bible is thc text hook ol' thc Christian, and thc lesson paper is designed only to aid in thc preparation of tho lesson. Voiircommittee would recommend that thc classes be instructed moro fully in thc fundamental doctrines of our church. Only in this way cnn we expect them to he true Metho dists. Your committee lind that only one or two schools have libraries. This should he remedied. Our children will read. Wc must supply them with suitable books. Our Publishing House has arranged a scries ol' li braries for Sunday Selonds that un sold at a very a low price. There is no reason why our children should not be supplied with these hooks. We recommend that our Superin tendents try lo supply their schools. Your committee lind that there is no uniformity in tho song books used by our Sunday Schools. We find eight different books used, rang ing from oitr "Methodist Hymn Hook" to ?Joy and Gladness." Wu would recommend that our schools supply themselves with our own Hymn Books. Thoy havo plenty of suitable songs for our use, and aro ns cheap a's any to bo fourni. Wo little kuow how much false thoology is taught our children in the songs thoy sing. ^ Your committee would recommend that teachers in our Schools bo mom hers of the Methodist ehurch and as far as possible converted men and wennon. There is too littlo attention paid lo this, matter. Wo novor think of wending our children to an uneduoatcd man in our day sohools. How foolish to commit his soul to the caro of an unchristian teacher i One qther point wo would like to urge. Our parents aro too lax in at tondinp. ?Sunday Schools. How eau you expect children to bo interested when their parents aro not? Wo be lieve that ?mr work is greatly hin dered by the parents of our children. Many a mother is tho stumbling block in thc way of her girl?, and tho fathers ave in tho way of tho boys. We would urge upon our pa rents tlie great duty that is theirs in this matter. Lot us, preachers and Sunday School workers, use otu* in iluence upon all our people to attend Sunday School. Respectfully submitted. M. 11. CAKI.ISI.IC, Chairman. Seneca was selected ns tho place for tho next Sunday School Confer ence, Which will embrace' three days, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, before tho second Sunday in August, ism. Resolutions of thanes were adopted for the kind and hospitable manner in which the delegatos were enter tained by the good people of Fair Play and community. Tho attendance was large on the sessions of the Conference nardi day and good attention was given lo its proceedings by both delegates and visitors. Wo hope much good will result from tho meeting of tho Sunday School workers, to the church and community generally at Jones' Cha pol. During the Conference wo were tho guest ot' Mr. and Mrs. W. J. I lix, and enjoyed their elegant hos pitality. Latest Inna the Stale Ca m pa i gu. [Special to tho Qreonvillo Daily News.] COI.UMIMA, S. C., August, 12.-The long looked for August Convention will assemble in tho hall of the House of Represen tali ves lo-mor row, and it is probable that by three o'clock tho .nomentous question of "tho primary or split" will be deci ded. The rejection of the demand for tho primary is, of ? ourse, a fore gone conclusion. uelogntoa are arriving by every train and to-night tho city is Hooded with them. A well defined rumor is lo tho effect that a resolution will be offered in the Executive Committee for the re peal of the call for the September Convention, to be submitted to the Convention, so that nominations for Stale ollieers can be made to-mor row. Several conservative members ot* thc lix ecu ti ve Committee are understood lo bc pushing such ;i reso lution for all they are worth in the interest of harmony. Crop Prospects.

Tho crop is well advanced and picking will commence in a few days. The condition is : For upper Carolina, 00; middle Caro lina, OS; lower Carolina, 100. Ave rage for the State, OS, against 00 at tin- same limo last year and SO at tho same dap' in IttSK. Corn-The early pl niling bas not recovered from the effects of tho drought in June. Voting corn, how ever, bas been benefited by tho re cent abundant rains and a fair crop is assured. There bas been so far no damage by flood. Tho condition is: For upper Carolina, H8, middle Carolina, SO; lower ( andina, 01. Average for tho State 88, against KU at this time last year. I {ice-Thc rice crop suffered for want of rain in June, but is bending well and a good yield is expected. The condition is : For upper Caro lina, 01; middle Carolina, 87; lower Carolina, 08. Average for the State 01, against S I at thc same lime pi 1880. Other Crops-Tho condition of other crops is reported ns follows: Sorghum, 04, against 05 for 1880; Silgar cane, 01, against 07 in 1H80; peas, 01, against Oil last year; Irish potatoes, 04, against 87 last your; BWOOt potatoes, 00, against 01 last ' year.

Crnighoad, of Jasper) Tenn., was elected to till tho chair of Greek and French made vacant hy the res ignation of Professor Goodloe. Prof. H. N. Snyder, of Nashville, was elected to (ill tho chair of English and German as successor of Prof. Long. The Nowherry Observer pithily remarks that .mother interesting cen sus might bo taken next Novembor that would bo of particular interest to the farmers-a census to ascertain how many third-rate lawyers and other small politicians shall have got themselves into nice little offices by pretending to be the special "friends of the farmers." A dispatch from Charlotte, N. C., says that the Farmers' Alliance and tho Richmond & Danville . railroad corporation have combined to defeat Senator Vane" for re-election. The Alliance is opposed to him, it is said, because of his refusal to support the tho sub-treasury bill, but the special ground for the railroad's hostility is not stated, though it might be sup posed to bu of a character to have made him friends among the farm ers. The latter have already named seven out of nine Congressmen, but, if the Charlotte dispatch is weil founded, they have determined to gobble up the Scnatorship also. The farmers bave captured the D?mocratie party in Missouri. They have complete control of the Legis lature. Consequently great interest is aroused as to their action in regard to the election of Uni ted Stales Senator. Many who are well inform ed in polities see in this nothing inimi cal to the chances of Senator Vest for re-election. There aro many, how ever, who see in tho farmers' move ment the line work and splendid generalship of Governor David R. Francis. Committeeman Tolson, speaking on this subject, said it was true that the farmers were gelling a great number of nominations, but than Vest's chances would not suf fer. "Thc strongest supportera of Vost," he said, "aro in tho agricul tural districts. Thc farmers will make good legislators, as they will demonstrate in tho next Assembly." Tho original package hill lias hecn passed, and as it contains an emergency clause, it will go into effect at once. Thc law is short, and reads as follows : "That all fermented, distilled or other intoxi cating liquors or liquids, transported into any State or Territory, or romain tug therein for usc, consumption, salo or storage, shall, upon arrival in such State or Territory, he subject to the, operation and effect ol thc laws of such State or Territory, enacted in tho exercise of its police powers to thc sumo extent and III Die, same manner as though such liquids or liquors had been produced in such State or Tcrritoiy, and shall not b<> exempt therefrom by reason of being in troduced therein in original packages or otherwise." Thc immediate efleet of thc law will bc to eloso the original package houses in Kansas and Iowa, but, there will probably bo a long fight in thc courts over thc right, of Congress to delegate any part of the control of inter state, commerce to tho States. Tho Davin Sowing Machino Company is a solid company, and when they warrant, caoli of their machines for a term of live years you can rest assured that they will make them of thc host, material, ami with tho greatest care.
