pleasant resort for summer boarders,
people who vi*h . to "et ftwsY- froni%
tho noisy bustle and din of town or
oity lifo, a moro favorable location
in South Carolina oan not bo found
than that tho Long Creek country
affords. Tho hoalthy olimate, tho
pure water, .tho ohnrming sconory,
tho cheap board, tjto abundance and
varioty of fruits should all conspire
to mako it tho Chautaqua of South
Carolina.
Adjoining tho farm of Mr. Jonas
Phillips, on land now owned by Mrs.
Holmes, is tho placo whore Governor
Brown, of Georgia,, was born and
spent his boyhood days. Somo an
oienf apple trees yot stand to mark
tho historio spot.
Near hore, too, is a beautiful
mountain called tho Round Mountnin.
From whatovor position the moun
tain is viewed it presents tho appear
ance of a massive eentor-tabie.
Walhalla, a distance of nearly twenty
milos, may bo distinotly Been from
its top without the aid of a glass.
Ono of tho groatoat drawbacks to
that portion of , country is tho lack
of mail facilities, there being only
two mails a week, on Tuesdays and
Saturdays. This inconvenience, how
over, is but temporary, as a railroad
is now hoing surveyed through that
section and thc timo, perhaps, is not
far distant whon its people will bo
ablo to compoto in this respect with
any others in tho State.
What is a matter of surprise to a
Stranger stopping in that country, is
thc number of families of tho same
name. There are in tho neighbor
hood twelve families of tho name of
Phillips and eight of tho name of
Lee. The families of Phillips aro
all somewhat connected, but the
most of tho Lees are distinct fami
lies, no relationship existing between
them. ?
Besides corn, wheat, oats and rye,
many of tho pooplo raise a groat
abundance of cabbago, beans, Irish
and sweet potatoes, ?fee. They also
plant largely in oano and mako a
great deal of syrup. Messrs. J. B.
and Jonas Phillips often make bo
tween 800 and 1000 gallons. This
yoar they will probably make 1,600
gallons. Their applo orchard cannot
perhaps be equaled in tho State.
Tho apples ripon from Juno until
Octobor. They have .-between 250
and 800 trees, which will this year
avorago from 8 to 10 bushels por
tree. Mr. Jonas Phillips, Sr.,. has
al?o a fino, orchard containing a great
varlet); of apples, but ho devotes
much of his timo to raising grain and
stock. His farm is a vory Targe and
valuable one, containing not only
tho finest cove lands, but the richest
oreek bottoms.
A little over two miles from hore
is Lee's Ferry, or thc Rogue's Ford.
What a beautiful river the Chattoo
ga is. How clear, how sparkling the
water ! Everywhere along its banks
dense shrubbery, luxuriant grass, or
gray boulders greet the eyes, while
draping vines aro reflected in beau
tiful spiral wreaths in tho silvery,
crystalline wator. Just acrosB the
river dark pine woods cover the
mountains and fleecy clouds scorn
hovering about their summits.
Not far from herc, up the river, if
the sluice. Thoro is something ex
ceedingly interesting in viewing tint
scone. Solitude surrounds it. Nc
human foot-fall is heard and no sign
of life is seen, but it scorns tho home
of tho rattlesnake ard one al m OK 1

and freedom. But now it scorns ai

IL
The Education of Yottug Fennel's, j
Eduoation is properly tho caro and
ohargo of tho Stato. Wo owe it to
oursolvos that ovory other cit?/.on
should bo propared to fill his or ber
plaoo in lifo with advantage to the
public. This is a fundamental prln
oiplo of our systomof government,
in which every ninn has s bhuro by
his vote, and needs to bo educated
to uso this power with safety to the
public. And it may well bo extended
so far as to inoludo that every person
who must support himself by his
labor should havo ovory facility for
ii tiing himself in an effootlvo manner
for his work. Doubtless it is on this
principle that tho agricultural col
leges havo'peen instituted and that
experiment stations have been added
to them for tho toohnical instruction
of farraors. But tho farmer who
neglects or rebuses to avail himself
of these publio means of oduoation
fails to perform tho part of the duty
which devolves' upon him as a citi
zon, whioh is to make himself useful
to tho public whioh provides means
for tho training of his children, and
when ho deolinos to send his sons, or
ono of them at lonst, to an agricultu
ral college when ho is able to do so,
he negleots a plain duty. No doubt
many farmors suffer disability in
their occupation for want o? a suffi
cient'oduoation. Farming is not to
bo carried on by a rule of thumb or
by servile imitation of obsolete prac
tices. Years ago all mechanical
vocations wore carried on without
knowledgfe of scientific principles
upon whioh they wore based. But
this ignorance no longer provails.
Every worker in wood knows the
strength cf the timbers ho uses, or
at loast tho master workmon do, or
should, and may if they will. Every
worker in metals is guided by scien
tific knowledge. The brewer and
tho tanner understand thc chemistry
of their arts; and so it is with all
technical trades. But the farmer, as
a rule, knows nothing of the soioncc
of his art. Ho plows, but does not
know why his plowshare has a par
ticular curve, nor docs ho know why
certain lines of draught cause tho
plow to run easily and do good work;
he turns tho soil without knowledge
of the reason for it, ho harrows in
Uko ignorance, and when he sows
his seed it is regardless of tho neces
sities of tho soil for its propor ger
mination and growth. Ho purchases
and uses fertilizers without intelli
gent knowledge, and wastes .'.his
money in ineffective use of the plant
food he buys. At least, this is the
rule, and the oxcoptions only make
tho failures the moro conspicuous.
Agriculture is thus excessively ham
pered by this common ignoranco of
the science upon which tho art is
based, and tho profits of thc farmers
aro loss than a fourth of 'what they
might bo under a better system.
Labor and material are wasted and
thc publio wealth is largoly reduced
in consequence. This is a public
calamity, and it justifies tho acts of
the government in providing means
for tho education of young farmers
by which *ho public interests may be
advanced. ,It is obviously tho duty
of tho farmer to avail himself of tho
opportunities afforded for relief, and,
os he cannot do this in any other
way, he should seo that his sucecssor
is bettor provided in this respect thftpj
he has been. i
But tho colleges should do tildie
part fully. Those in charge should
bo actuated by a sense of public
duty and responsibility. This is not
always tho case. Generally thc pro
fessors aro capablo, energetic and
conscientious, but tho officials in con
trol aro too frequently othorwiso.
Tho funds provided aro in somo cases
diverted from their proper use.
Competent teachers aro hampered
and intorforcd with and leave tho
college in disgust. Two cases of
this sort have recently happened in
thc Southern States-one in Missouri
and tho latest ono in Toxas-whore
the professors havo been forced to
leave because of tho interference of
politicians, who usurp tho manage
ment for baso purposes. Othor simi
lar oases are known in which the
funds aro used for tho support of
incompetents who havo politioal
friends and thd" offices aro sinecures.
At tho Same time thoro aro other
institutions whioh for somo reason
cannot entico students oven with
hribos. This may bc duo to tho
apathy and neglect of tho farmers
themselves, but, ns this has happened
in somo of tho Northern States
whero tho farmers aro unusually in
telligent, it may ho othorwiso. Per
haps it might ho advisable that in
such cases tho colleges which fail of
tholr purpose should bo brought
under tho supervision of tho Agri
cultural Department. Such a pro
vision has boon ingrafted in tho
recent Aot increasing the ondowtnonfr
of the colleges, and requires an
annual statement of the way in
whioh tho now grjmt above rcforrod
to is to bo made, and tho withdrawal
of tho grant upon even a reasonable
supposition of its misuse or failure
to be offeotlve.
Unquestionably the BUCOOSB of
these institutions rests with tho far
mers. There aro farmers enough in
all tho States who aro competent to
suporviso tho management of t>jni
instoad of lawyers and superannuated
Doctors of Divinity, who, however
well-intentioned thoy may bo, are
soarcely Ittcd for suoh technical
business. A strictly professional
education generally unfits a man for
goneral business, even for farming)
wbilo a successful farmer is usually
a good business man and under
stands what is required to make a
student a good farm er i Farmers
would havo moro confidence in tho
management of ono of their own
vocation, and would bo far moro apt
and roady to send their sons to an
institution under suoh management.
It is futile to look for tho attendance
of farmers' sons nt a collogo in whioh
tho parents have no confidence.
The farmer's money is hardly oarnod,
and tho man who earnB it wants
value for it, and ho hesitates to risk j
disappointment in the failure of his
son to go through an oxpensivo
course of two or tbrco years unsuc
cessfully.
It would bc interesting to know
bow tho first installment of the grant
is to bo disposed of, and if it is to bo
paid over to those colleges who aro
without students or whoso original
grant having boon squandered or
diverted has left thom without ade
quate means for their .support, mid if
any guarantees are to bo oxaotod
from thone for the hotter use of tho
money in tho future. A sum of
about $725,000 will be required the
first year and nearly half a million
added each yoar in progression
tboreaftor, increasing by this sum
until tho tenth year, whon the whole
cost will bo $1,125,000 annually.
The BUM is trifling comparod with
tho amount of good that may be
dono with it, but it is too largo to bc
thrown away oven in part.

Tho Charleston ?Sun recalls a cir
I cumstanco of three years ago whioh
appears to have somo bearing on
present conditions.
In 1887 there was a bolt in th<
Charleston muricipal election. Cer
tain citizens of that oity claimed
that tho nominating primaries for
aldermen wero fraudulent and inde
pendent Domoorats wore put up
against tho rogulnr nominees in three
or four wards, Thc Netos and Cou
rier fought tho bolt fiercely and
brought much pressure from outsido
to bear on tho voters of Charleston.
Tho opinions of a number of leading
mon in tho State woro obtained and
published, nrnong thom this from
Judge A, C. Haskell :
"I am allocked to seo this thing.

tho people of thc State; they will bo
condemned by all tho pcoplo of
South Carolina as traitors, not only
to their own interests, but to tho
interests of tho entire State.
"This movement is leading book
to tho condition of affairs from which
thoy wore rescued in 1870, and if
they got back to it tho pcoplo of the

In South Carolina it is not a matter

"Thoro is only ono way by which

is bought hy tho above named corpo

This road ?B tho last of an oxton8?v<

however, that tho road will be i

A dispatch from Macon, dato
