It is amusing bow hard put to it tho politicians aro, at timos, to mislead tho groat masses of pooplo and bow many schemes thoy resort to to carry thoir point. Whon wo read tho published lot tors of Cols. Wilio Jouos and Geo. John stone and tho oditorlal of tho Stato nows papor wo wonder if thoy do really think anybody is misled hy thoir ruse. All men who keep posted know that Con. Wade Hampton is physically unablo to discharge tho duties of United States Sonator, and thoy aro equally cognizant of tho motives prompting such proposi tions. Tho people of this Stato aro en terprising aud progressive, and as such they wish to bo roprcsontod in tho uppor House of Congress. They aro also con vinced that it is fear of tho strength of Sonator Mc Lau lin that prompts tho proposition to withdraw and put- Gen. Hampton forward. Gen. Hampton is a good and great man, but his ago will bo a barrier to his hoing again . elected to tho Senate. Ho could not perform tho duties if oloctcd, and tho voters aro not ready to bo thus misled. No, if thoBO gontlomon dosiro to op pose Sonator McLaurin, which is evi dently thoir purpose, thoro is an honora ble way to do it, and that is to submit tho matter squarely to tho voters of South Carolina'. Gun. Hampton has sorved his day and generation faithfully and well. Ho is tho greatest man living in South Caro lina to-day hy reason of eminent service in tho past. Hut now ho stands in need of being saved from his friends and thc politicians. A Farmers' Mooting. Quite a largo number of farmers as seinhlcd in tho Court IIouso yesterday in responso to tho announcement made in The Daily Mail that Dr. Hunnioutt, of Tho Southern Cultivator, and Prof. Wing, of tho Georgia experiment station, would be hore to address thom. Hon. B. P. Clayton was called to tho chair and introduced Dr. Hunnicutt, who, for au hour or more, hold his audienco inter ested by his talk on some of tho funda mental truths of agriculture. Tho speaker said I hat every element of plant food was stored away in tho soil and that if a farmer would go after thom ho would get them; that, nature had stored thom away thoro, and deep plowing would make them available, and that a farmer could make himself independent of a drouth by plowing deep enough ; that if the hard pan was broken underneath tho surfaco by tho laws of naturo a reservoir would be created to store away moisture to feed the plant. Ho startled his hearers somewhat when ho informed thom that thorn was in every twolvo inches deep on every acre of land $2,700 worth of tho very fertilizer that they woro buying every year and that tho next twolvo inches below that contained $3,000 worth as ascertained by actual cxporimont. His taUt on tho lino of tho law of gravi tation and capillary attraction in stoiing up thc moisturo and drawing it again from tho earth by tho plants was exceed ingly instructive and entertaining. In fact his entire talk was bristling with information and it will doubtless bear fruit. An adjournment was taken for dinner, and in tho afternoon Prof. Wing gavo an interesting talk oil dairying and live stock and tho different kinds of food to feed tb dairy cows. One thing that espe cially interested those who woro hand ling milk cows was a statement that the fited taste and smell produced in milk by cows eating wild onions and bitter weeds could l>c promptly and o ff co t nally eradicated by using a mixturo of equal parts of gonatiati, charcoal, soda, salt pel re, salt and ginger, one tablespoonful twice a day. During tho delivery of those talks many questions were (ired at both of them showing that the audience was deeply interested.-Anderson Daily Mail, October 13. O. li. Larson, of Bay Villa, Sundays Uiver, Capo Colony, conducts a store typical ?d' South Africa, nt which can he purchased anything from the proverbial "needle to an anchor." This store is sit nal cd in a valley nine miles from the nearest railway station, and about twenty-live miles from tho nearest town. Mr. Larson says: "I am favored wi til the custom ?d' farmers within a radius of thirty miles, to many of whom I have supplied Chamberlain's remedies. Al) testify to their value in a household where a doctor's advice is almost out of the question. Within one milo of my stoic the population is perhaps sixty. Of these, within thc past twelve months, HO less than fourteen have been abso lutely cured by Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. This must surely ho a record.'' For sale by Dr. J. W. Bell. Tortured by Masked Burglars. Lock port, X. V., October H.-Two masked burglars broke into the house of Krank Holman, a wealthy fruit grower, living on tho Ridge road, near Olicott, last night. Holman had sold the apples of ono orchard for $1,135 that day, re ceiving the money in (rash Oil tho spot. Tho robbers evidently had learned ol'the deal, for while they WOI'O searching through tho house Holman heard one say: "Well, let's make him toll where the. coin is." Tho farmer tried to slip downstairs to where ho kept his shotgun, but was Intercepted by tho thieves, who lied him in a rocking chair. Holman dot hued that ho had hanked his money that day* The robbers laughed at him and touched lighted matches to his foot. Mrs. Holman grappled willi ono of tho men and 'hen fainted. Holman finally told thc burglars that ho had just $35 iii the house and showed them whore the money was. This they took, swearing at their hard luck at not gelling tho $1,100. Before departing they.threatened Holman with doath if lie loft tho house before morning, Up gave tho alarm at daylight, but no trace of the burglars could bc found. Not in Politics. Mr. J. C. WU hom, president, of tho Na tional Farm ors' Alliance, was in the city yesterday. He laughed at the resolution's recently adopted by tho farmers in Slim ier county, calling Upon Alliance officers to give up political jobs. He said that tito A Illanco is not a political organiza tion and has thousands of Republicans among ils members. Ile could not speak for Mr. I). F. Kfi.rd. president of tho State Alliance, or Mr, W. Norman Kider, or ganizer Of the State Alliance; but he felt sure that those gentlemen would not comply with tho request of tho meeting O? Sumter farmers. Those two gentle men aro Uiemborsof tho legislature. Mr. WU born doblaros that ho will make tho nice for re-election for the position of railroad commissioner, and tho Alliance, ho says, has nothing to do with politics. STANDS IN WITH R008EVELT.

Stono. A dotailcd account of tho capturo of Miss Ellon M. Stono, tho missionary, by brigands lu Turkoy, has boon rccoivod. Miss Stono had boon holding hoi- usual su miner school for Bible workers, at Bansko, Macedonia. On Soptombor 8 a party of six students from tho collogiato instituto at Samokov, throe or four Bul garian teachors, Mr. and Mrs. Tsilka, who had spout sovoral years in America, Mrs. Cositera and Mies Stono started for Djumiak, twolvo hours' travol.

Tsilka hoing on horseback, and tho rest on foot, thoy woro surrounded by :10 or 40 mon, dressed in Turkish costume, but masked or blackened. Thoy ordorou tho party to march, and drove thom up tho steep mountain sido. After going an hour's distance tho brigands .stopped and demanded thoir money. Thoy took what gold they had, but returuod tho sil ver. When this was dono ono of thom said to Miss Stono: "Wo want you," and ordered her and Mrs. Tsilka to go with them. She made no remonstrance. Mr. Tsilka made a movement to follow his wifo, but thoy forced him back. A part of tho brigands kept watch on those that remained to koop thom from hurryiug to inform tho govornmont, but noxt morning lot thom go. MISS BTONK STILT.
