Undor tho regulations tho Court, hav

Mr. Vernor Wtf Not Satisfied
With thc Workings of th? Body.
v [Special .Corrospoudouoo.J
COKUM MIA, January Ul.-I shall write
just as if I wore writing tu an Individual
and that individual a friend.
I am not at all satio.iod with the work*
iugs of tho Loglglavuriudeod, I was
not satisfied with tho condition of af
fairs at Home whoa I loft there for Co
lumbia-leaving a largo amount of cot
tun uupioked aud tho work of tho past
year unfinished. Howevor, I carno boro
dotorininod to loavo thoso thiugs in tho
hands of othors aud do my lovol bOBt to
mako a good Roprosontatlvo, aud soo if
something could bo douo that would
mako for tho bottorinont of tho pooplo
of tho whole State, and ospooiaily for
thoso of my own couuty.
Tho most Important work that I bad
in mind was to ropoal tho li.m .law,
thinking that law responsible for tho
distressing condition of tho pooplo.
In this I failed, as tho mombors this
year, as last, woro uucortain as to what
thoir pooplo wanted dono in that Uno,
and tho man docs not livo who oan pur
suado legislators to cast a voto that
would jeopardize their elianora of ro
ol notion.
Tho avorago politician doos not soom
to think of what is host for tho pcoplo,
but rather to tako no risks; ns a conso
quonco thoro aro no bonofioial ohanges
made in tho laws of our Stato, and the
pooplo aro all tho timo disBatisilod aud
constantly olooting now mombors who
follow in tho footatops of their prcdooos
Bors and in timo aro left at homo nftor
ono torin.
I do not boliovo thoro will over bo any
pormanont prosperity in this Stato as
long.as wo continuo to do businoas undoi
tho present system of trndo. I do not
think thoro will ovor bo auyohnugo until
that syatom of trade is mado a Statt
issue and I am now about ready to make
that issue I do not think tho pooplc
wish to givo up ontirely to an unendura
ble condition and oonfoss that thoy moan
to over livo directly dopondont upon thc
morohnntsof tho country to furnish thom
a living at twioo tho cost of raising it.
Argument on that Bubjoct is wortli
nothing horn. Tho people aro and will
continue to bo desirous of a knowledge
of tho real truth and whoa thoy^ soo il
will act wiaoly upon it.
I havo lioon thinking a good donl latolj
about tho necessity of f groa-. Statt
weekly nowspnpor as a mi au i of oducat
ing tho peoplo up to a high standard o!
citizenship and to au iutolligont ant
appreciative suffrage.
Wo havo many good county papors
but not ono thorough, competent wookly
with tho forco and iutolligonco to croat?
a sound and healthy publie opinion an<
u lead and direct tho public mind. Tin
papers genorally aro satisfied ii thoy cor
rcotly rellcct public opinion, and as i
rulo loavo tho pcoplo to got ideas fron
scheming politicians, and oftentimes
after it is too lato, opposo thom in tin
very tilings that thoy havo boon tauf h
to think right.
1 havo au idea that, I think, if put int?
law, would givo tho pooplo a flrst-clas
paper weekly without ono cont of cost t<
them: Lot the surplus of monoyat Clom
son Collcgo go for this purpose and som
tho paper to all farmoiB absolutely free
It appears that if tho Stato has tho righ
to go into tho liquor business it cortainl;
ought to havo a bettor right to go int
tho nowspnpor business. If tho Stat
bas tho right to go into tho business o
farming it has tho samo right to go a ste]
further and givo tho farmers tho bonofl
of that experimental farming onco a wool
in printed form.
If tho Stato has tho right to appropri
ato money for tho education of tho youn
pooplo, why not tho right to furnish n
least some reading mattor to thoso wh
romain at homo and boar tho burdon an

Tho pcoplo know very littlo of what i

moan no insinu?t io ri when wo say that
thoe is at least one "Smart Aleck"
among tho farmers in evory community

this kind of a farmor doos all his farm

orop is mado. But whon wo Como to tho
formers who farm on tho dirt, why thoy
all know bottor thau this. There is not
room enough on ono aero of 'and for
Bovou balos of cotton to grow. You
might pack all this ?Ulks, louves, bolls
and roots Into balos abd you wouldn't
have sevon. Wv aro now making about
1'2,000,000 balOB annually. Your corres
pondent from Return (D. J. M.) admits
that it takes th roo aoros to mnko a halo.
If so, We are cultivating ?10,000,000 acres
in colton annually. If wo mako sovou
halos to tho aero wo would bavo a crop j
of 252,000,000 halos on hand noxt fall.
