I'ltion County Farmers \s<oci:?tion, as the Secretary
styles it or ?n< it an lliccutivc committee,
chosen l?y the ie|>rc<cntatives of tlic To\vnshi|i t
Clubs. It, however, seeias to have assembled i
with jilenarv |>?wer to do or undo anything the
members thereof miw tit, either m or out of the j
meeting. N< i being engaged in farming nor j
owning farming lainl. we fell a little delicacy
about whether our |u'csriiee would he >-|>i- j

meeting. Wc re 'ret to learn, however, that the <

An Appeal.
Mh. Ilinrni:. ? Your columns liave. of late,
:on!i?ine>l several articles relative in (lie liquor
ralfic in our town. "Uncle Si." "Uncle Sam,"
Uuly and "l ele ana others, have liad
heir say, y.ro ?/?</ con. Humor nml sarcasm,
villi fa ;t an i argument on one side, and / <,>tnj
mil puerility on the other: all show'ng that an
ntcrest, deep ami general, exists among our I
:?e??plc on this subject. Ami this is well. It
eml.s to thought ami examination of the
natter, as to its character ami effects, ami "hy
he attrition of t lought, truth is evolved.'
7'rnlit is what every lover cf himself, an l conn- |
ry, an>l kiml. should desire and seek after, ami ,
:iot simply to carry a point in anything.
It is apparent that a difference of opinion ;
:xist>- among us to this traffic. Not so much
is to its character ami effects, as to tlie legal
talus thereof. There arc some who seem to
bink that if a thing is covered hy technical
ntcrprctation of law, its effects are not to be con
tidcred. Hellishticss and avarice make eotuc
ibliviotti to all consideration of public good,
ir the morality of the thing. The law allows
t and 1 will do i', no matter as lo consequences,
s their motto.
That the public sale and promiscuous use of
ipirituous lupous are harmful to individuals
iml the community, will nut be denied by any
houghtful and observant pcrsou. No one will
iny tbey arc better tliantlic prohibition thereof.
I'lie evils tliey cause arc too i>ntcul to be (lend.
The con muuity, families, iiulividuals,
business, religion, yea, every good thing is afectcd
by them. And shall the evil be sulfurcd
0 continue, without au effort to juit it down '.'
dinll we do nothing because there arc difiicuiies
in the way ? Shall wo drop our oars ami
1 rift because there is a tide against us ? Will
he good people of our otherwise beautiful and
ligh-toned town make no effort to get rid of
he evil ? Is it possible that public sentiment
s so low and debauched, that this black and
amotions river of death shall continue to flow,
tarrying on its bosom all that should be prized?
>u rely not! Surely not ! I believe there is
siougli of true manhood and self respect left to
id ourselves of the curse, if proper measures
ire employed. Anl I think the time is at
innd when the sentiment and will of the comiiuuity
should be tested.
Cannot some movement be inaugurated that
rill do this? There i? a W. C. T. U., and a
land of Hope in our midst. These arc doing
good work, and wc hope they will continue,
lut what ore (lit iiwh iloin;/What aic the
usbandtJ, fathers, sons and brothers doing to
hapc opinion, or secure protection and dclivernco?
r.o far </.? is Known' Shall
lie wotk be left to tlie women and children?
urely nol ! ( ill m> K*:*?ler be fund, no movelent
be innde ? Surely, surely, there can be.
This writer has no personal feeling against
ny ineniber of the present council, lie may
of jin/i/r tl,eir motive* : but their nets, as pubc
servants, are open to criiiiisn. When an
et is performed it belongs to the public.
I ensures and not mm are proper subjects of
xniiiinntiou </??/ otiyht f<> he.
lias the council rightly construed the exist ug
law L>id they not, in granting license,
renounce against the spirit of the law, as well
s the better sentiment of the community 7 15ut
aving granted license have they, as custodians
f the peace and order of the town, taken any
leps to know if thr omUUon* of such license
ave been violated? famnion report, leading
j common belief, is that these conditions are

College are enemies to "higher education."
I5y no means. We Wieve that he who has the
iaclinat ion ami u\t<nnination, ami whose
"higher education ' would be a veal benefit t<?
the State, will work his way to ail altitude of
proficiency. with the help which our Churchill( titu'inns
of high grade may give liiui, as exalted
a- he would reach with free tuition at
the expense of the poor and rich tax payers of
the State, lie who ha- the will can make his
! way, and will do it.
I Those who claim that the S. f. College is a
poor man's institution were silenced at the la-t
I meeting of the General Assembly by those who
i oppose free tuition. It was suggested that none
but poor men be permitted to enjoy tuition
tree, but the advocates of the t'ullegc as it now
is wiml'i n>>[ agree to tins, and defended their
course by (lie n-sertion that the rich, who pay
the taxes, should not he required to pay tuition
fees for their sons. I ?y this change of front
they have admitted what we have claimed till
tlic lime, that it is a college run tit the expense
of the poor (it may not be intentionally, hut
virtually) in the proportion that they pay taxes,
for the benefit of those who can afford to pay
from * !! to!?-0 per month hoard, besides appear
in full dress at their fashionable halls or "(Jernians."

Mtt. Eihtou: Has Uncle Pete fallen oil" tlio
fence yet? I shall feci uneasy till I hear, for
when last heard from he was outside of a fence,
dangerously high for the old man ? the fence
between Uncle Si. Uncle Sum, rt at. Uncle Peto
writes so like a demagogue that 1 am purstiadcd
he is only looking out for the most numerous
side to fall on. Until lie finds it lie will have a
kinJ and, as Uncle Si would put it, '-an excusiu"
heart for both sides. Hut when Uncle
l'etc takos his pen to write on the issue between
the people and the red and white wine
party, he loses his heart a bit and just wades
into the devul, dogs, and that old woinmun,
who lias been a dead issuo since the days of
Solomou.
But his kindness of heart will come out a little,
and so he comforts those who get drunk on
unlicensed whisky, by laying the blamo on the
ole devul." They "hain't half ns much to
blame as,the devul"' for their mcanucssa la Untie
l'etc.
Uncle l'etc throws the other leg over tho
fence and shows his colors fairly in his paragraph
on bar-keepers: and, as Uncle ?i would
say "you can see who he is agin now. He is
"agin"' the "devul and dogs, and an old worninun"
who lived in tho days of Solomon. The
devil and dogs and the old woman arc convenient
scape-goats?they arc disfranchised.
Any abuse heaped on them won't hurt. So
Uncle l'etc give* llieni It?ail Columbia. It reminds
mo of I lie story told of an exceedingly
pious and liberal church. Said church caused
one of its ofliccrs to follow the new preacher
to the pulpit and say to him, that it was hoped
he would not say anything about tho Baptists,
or Methodists, or 1'rcsbyterians, or Catholics,
as there were sotnc of each of these sects in tho
house lull us I hern were no T#i?j opmm.1 ! ?
couM give the.11 tils. Uncle I'ete defends the
bar-keepers and almost conies down from I ho
fence in that defence. Hut his defence is not
new or ingenious. It U the old, old argument
of Iho bar-keepers : "H e don't go and persuade
men to come in and drink.'* And Uncle
I'ete says "barkeepers hain't nothin like the
dcvul : ' they "don't go mil persuade people
to driuk." They only ' sets cm up." And
besides, lie makes them piy ten cents for it.
No, bat-keepers "hain't half as bil as the
dcMil," for he gave live an apple just for nothing.
and lie begged her to take it No, barkeepers
"liain t half" as mean as the devil, lor
they just watch and wail. like snakes for their
prev. and when the poor victim coiucs along
thev only "sots cm u|> and makes them pay
for it. The ditl'ercncc seeming to he that tlic
devil is the more liberal ol* the two. An l the
bar-keeper in not half such a devil as the devil,
for the reason that the bar-keeper charges ten
cents a lesson for teaching the way to a drunkard's
hell, while the devil don't charge ft continental.
(11 u!hi for lli< ilrril, ought to come in
just here if I only had Hill Arp's "cussin ' man
here to write the words forme.) Well, stewing
thething down, it amounts to this; That the
bar-keeper is not half as mean as the devil, for
he ehaiges ton cents for what the devil does for
nothing.
Mr. lvliti.r, I submit that I'nclc l'elc slanders
the devil, when he makes the bar-keeper onfdevil
