FARMERS' UM OF INFOR Conduct* South Carolina Farmers' Educa' Communications intended for thia 1 J. C. Stribling, I Stunting Corn. We are pleased to reoefve the fol lowing letter from Mr. Williamson on his stunting oom plan and trust that some of our Farmers' Union men will put his plan through a oom pnrffife teat, whieli will remove all dout^B either way about the plan. We have six acres under ooiupai tive test after Mr. Williamson's stunting process, and will weigh the product* and measure the area hy an ex ot it from the Sou*h Carolina Experiment Station : J. C. Stribling, Pendleton-Dear Sir : The exhaustive and continuous tests that you ask shout in your let ter of the 12th instant, to Dowsville, I have not made; nor is it possible in agriculture to tell positively which of the many attentions given to a orop has contributed most to the result. This method I have ndvtsed tried on only a few acres the Mast year, or until one is familiar with its wa\s. I feel that the results that I an ! my neighbors who have adopted ii tSRve obtained are stifHoient to ju?tif_. me in recommending that it bo given a trial. If it is not satisfactory it need not be followed again. A few acres will not only lie sufficient, but best for giving this trial. This "stunting" is no new thiug in corn growing, and if I had ex pressed it : "To so check and retard the stalk growth that there shall be neither moisture Or plant food wasted in its production," then numbers of farmers would have recognized it as j just what they have been trying to do for years. Many of them have ; planted both early and low all of1 their lives to reduce the aizj of tLe stalk, and they will tell you that when young corn (not jointed) is bitten by frost, tho stalk will not grow large, but that it usually makes better ears. This plan is not so new to the farmer as the newspapers seem to think-certainly not to the farmers about hore. It will need to be al tered and modified to suit different soils and special conditions, yet the general principles are correct, and will work great benefit whenever the tendency is to make stalk growth at the expense of the ear. Experience and judgment are re quired to give best results, and all who try it may not succeed-cer tainly not the first year. I trust that none will do worse than by tho old method, and I sincerely ho, e that it may give to all who try it the benefij^that it has given to mc. Yours truly, E. M. Williamson. Why Be Alarmed? Some of our farmers Beem to be a little worried over this talk of tho English cotton spinners buying up Homo of our Southland on which to raise cheap cotton witli the hope of driving us back to starvation prices. And now, as The National Co-ope rator says, this movement on the part/~?,thc spinners would bo funny if ifN&vre not so ridiculous. Yes, it is too absurd to even give it notice. Hasn't the cotton scare crow been hoisted by those English spinners in Egypt, South Africa and almost every other country where there isn't snow on the ground 8G5 days in I the year? And what was tho result ? A feat failure-just what will bc over here tor they have tried il. |We will give the English men tho redit of knowing how to spin cot ton af toi wo o? the South have grown it for 'uem, but when it comes to either ihem or thoso Welsh or Bel gians raising the fleecy staple, they know nothing more about it than a g knows about politics. In fact, those Welsh and Belgians are aa zy as some of the emigrants who ame here, they will be too infernal azy to keep off the mosquitoes down er^ in Mississippi and Louisiana, muon'lcss trying to hoe and plow cotton. No, thone English spinners r^ sharp and they well know that th orop diversification the South rn cotton farmer is just goiug to aise cotton to supply tho demand nd, with organization, thoy aro go )g to stand shoulder to shoulaer ION BUREAU MATION. .d Uv the ional ?nd Co-Operaiive Union. Department should he addressed lo Pendleton, S. C.* like meu and demand a profitable pri?e for that cotton, and seeing that their scare-orow failed to frighten when so far from us, they are now going to move it up a little nearer. So, brother farmer, don't be afraid. It's the same old hunch of rags tieri ou a little hit taller pole, and it j moved up to where they hope we will notice it. / Slay in the bugin ami just keep cool. There's no danger in their cotton mule. W. C. Casey, Secreta rv Five Forks Union.

The piococ.lii.gs of the Presbyte rian General Assembly, recently in session iu Greenville, were devoted mtiinly to the trial of thc case of Rev. William Caldwell, Ph. D., pas tor of the First Presbyterian church of Fort Worth, Texas, on questions iuvolving thc orthodoxy of that gen tleman. Thc- doctrinal points at issue were : 1. The Mosaic authorship of the Pentateuch, with speoial reference to Deuteronomy. 2. Historicity of the enrly chaj - ters of Genesis. 8. Miraculous element in Old Tes tumcuts accounts, especially regard ing Balaam, Samson, Daniel and Jonah. On questions of the atonement and the dootrines of salvation, Dr. Cald well appears to be regarded as sound. The issues were argued at length. Tho voting resulted 90 to 89 to sut tain Mr. Caldwell, but as ?leven had only voted to sustain in part, the moderator refuse* 3 annouuoe the vote, holding that he did not know just how far these eleven might moan to sustain. Upon motion, the matter of an nouncing the vote was left to a com mittee of five, and after bearing the position of the eleven the committee announced the vote in favor of Mr. Caldwell. _* Cured of Bright's Disease.

Bean the J* lilt Kind You Haw Always Bought Negro Disfranchisement. 1 i Kev. Dr. J. B. H i wi horne, now of Richmond, Va., formerly of Allanta, in visiting i't the last named eily and on being asked by the Atlanta Jour nal a few ii?)? ago what he thought ol the negro disfranchise me nt, among other things said : "(?od! made the negro an ?inferior race, and, while I am the uegro's friend, I want him \o realize hi* place and keep ii-aud that is Le i ii-J, effectively done by dis franchisement. Tho negro muet know that the white man will al ways rul?*t and the best way 1 know to teach him this is to take the ballot out of his baud, unless he is qualified to use ii properly. Disfranchisement ha? saved the honor of the State of Virginia. The ballot in the hand of the negro has always been a menace to while supremacy. Disfranchise' ment is th ? remedy. I believe every State in the Union should disfrai eh i He the negro. 1 do not con fi ne the Slates lo ibe South, but include the North, Eist and West. Ii stroud be universal. The people of the New England Stales, forty years afier the b.dlot was placed tu the negro's ban?! hy their forefathers, now realise it the greatest mistake of history. .
