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\

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.

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.

And closed in ii deadly st ruggle
With "Simpson's Silver (.rev."

Into the scuftlo reeled.

Now fought, awhile among themselves;
Then 'gainst. Cottons they combined.

A compromise I did seek.

And roliovcd my sorry plight.
