We have warned the farmers that by incorporating that element in the movement It would bo a disorganizing element, as it would open the door for the most extreme politicians and pchcmists to come in and capture the whole orgluization. and divert it front the great and grand purposes which the farmers themselves intrude 1 and their unfortunate con- j d'tion now demand-'.

The convention next Thursday will present a motley assembly nnd, we fear, prove our warnings to be well grounded, judging from the different characters and occupations of the delegates elected. There will be in it a majority of "simon-pure" farmers, then will come the landlord farmers? those who live upon the high rent they exact from their tenants then the merchant farmers, the 1 ?r farmers, the Lawyer farmers, the Political farmers, the office seeking farmers, and our old friend, (icorge Tuj per, a simonpure democratic politician, hr-J.-r real estate agent and retired editor, who acknowledges that lie does not own or work a farm, will bo there to reprcxent Horclie-ter town-hip club, of Colleton county. So, it will be si-en that every element now in our Legislature, in about the same proportion as to occupations, will constitute the Farmers Convention, and wc "hall then see exhibited a practical illustration of the time".-1, the influence and ability of selected representatives of the various vocations iu discussing public measures, anM in conn lifting legislative uusiiie>s iur me public good. Thai reforms are sternly <le n:\ndc1 no man of ordinary intelligence will attempt to ?nic^tion ami we sincerely hope the farmers convention will formulate such a wiso conservative, just and equitable scheme as thnii commend itself to the good bciihc and approbation of all classes of the people. Itut if the time of the convention is consumed in listening to political cranks nml schemists who have ridden into it on some political hobby or to gratify some indefinable theoretical whim, by which the farmers are to be benefitted only in the/or-',// future, its meeting will result in more injury than good to the farming interest. We, however, sincerely hope that our fears will ho found groundless and that much practical good will be the result. Labor Troubloin Augusta The Presidents of the eight cotton mills of Augusta are in trouble with their .'!,0(?0 employes, who have, through the executive board of the Knights of Labor, presented a bill of grievance to their employers. The Presidents have sent u temperate and 111?or:iI communication to tho operatives, proposing a conference with tticm bttl positively declining to recogni/.e any outside interference. Li pnn receiving the coirimunicalion from the I'rtidenta of the mills the Knights of Labor held a meeting and passed the following resolutions : Whereas, our executive board has been positively ignored by tho mill presidents, and as it is positively contrary to our constitution for us to adjust any grievances other than through our executive board ; therefore be it resolved? lir.st, That we, the operatives and employes of the mills, do absolutely decline to confer with the Presidents or any other persons except through our executive board. Second, That wo endorse fully the action of our board. Third. That wo forward to each of tho presidents whose names appear on the circular distributed through the mills to-day a copy of these resolutions ? - Colored Knights of Labor tiAi.vr.sTOS, Tkxas, April 'JO?A special from Tcxarkaua, says: It has been discovered that within the past threo weeks the Knights of Labor have organized several colored assemblies in the vicinity of Taxarkaua, both in Arkansas arid Texas.

'limy will also represent the most eligible and <:licai>--t route for building the railroad. If the Haiti in ore an I Ohio road it at th? hack of the scheme, those two imj ortant a I vantages will have more weight in locating the line than the a-Humcd imp >rt inee of any city or town between the termini f the roil. A great through line, like the one proposed, always builds up and tuakett cities towns and bu-iues* along its own track. t'ol. Forcacrc, former Superintendent "f the Air l.inc lloa 1, ouce told us thai after lotcrtniii. injr where the terminus shall lie. tiie projector* of all great through lines then select the m .*t eligible and cheapest route for building the road After tlint their great aim is to l.nil 1 up the country through which it passes. That plan is most forcibly and .successfully t illustrated in the building and managenteut of the Air Line road. While Spartanburg an I (Ireenvillc huve increase 1 in population bus: } ness an l wealth, all along the line of the roil ' thriving villages liavo sprung up, han Isome I residences, commodious churches. II mrisliing ! schools, and a general appearance of enterprise and thrift arc visible every few miles, while the property for twenty tniies on either side of the road has increased from 1M to>iM; percent in value. Our observations of railroad building is. that when they are built and controlled by cities or promiscuous individual subscriptions, tbcre is but little back-botic to them : they are cramped for means, and tire either run in the interest of the point where the most money has been subscribed or have their termini at uiiim. purtant points and arc subject to the exactions. delays or interest ot roans tney may intersect, to the injury and inconvenience of intermc iinto points and passengers : but wlieu built are! managed by railroad companies, of long through lines, especially, there are no locil preferences to gratify or consult, and the influence and efforts of the company are exerte 1 to the utmost to make business for the roil till along the line, by encouraging tin increase of population, an increase of industries an 1 an increase of business at as many points as possible throughout its whole length. - Soma Fancy Figuros Our friend of the <' jltim'oia / >' < makes the following brilliant cotton showing of the work of the Southcrs fartneis for the pa.-t ten years, and nek- some very pertinent question- upon it. Iu tho first place, if there has beeti any money for the farmers iu cotton at In cents, it is a mystery w here it has gone to. Hut if tin re is no money in cotton at 10 cents, why in the name of common sense do they eoutiniie ti rai-o it. particularly with prospects ofuot getting nine cents for the next crop. With such an aggregate showing as the A' /is'- r makes, it certainly Iocs seem that our farmers "ought not to he begging iirmifiil fur itnttn?v ami a Ivutn'tw hi nnU tlmi crops. lUit it will be ever so until tiir lieu law is repealed and the price of money is reduce 1 to ft reasonable standard. 15ut who is to blame for the deficit in ihe 6ia'i? mU ttssli product, and the trice- the farmers have to pay for tl/cm, bm the fvViets tliemselves * They are tho only persons who can produce thein, and if they ate kept poor and dependant because they cannot make money raising cot'on at 10 cents and buy their supplies, ato tlicy not keeping themselves poor, by continuing such a policy.' The /iVyiiVr very plainly shows why the southern "farmers arc as they are." and, as we have often sai I before, all the political reforms which can bo inaugurated cannot better their condition so long as they allow such an enormous amount to leak out and he dissipa ted. They have made in the ten years ending with ami including i?8t. souic ?T.;J. 1.? ?u? bales. This they have sold in the home markets a- an average often cent- per pound, whi.h i.i.a- up for In years iit cotton alone S'J.ni, linearly two thousand seven huudred inilln n o! money. Did men ever make a better -bowing under the circuinstanco-'.' ought our farmers, if tliey have got anything like their own to want a dollar to conduct their loi-im-s with'.' Ought they to be bogging around for money and advances from any iiian '.' W lint liuu |||?% Iit'il tot ' I till- t'..*.?.Afo have iiaJ to buy tit lerist four tilths if the foo l deficit for their consumption, other classes consuming the rest. We see in the ten years a grain and tlesh iloticit amounting to cl.'.T", (MMl.OOU. This shows for our great planting class in the period an expenditure of ^l.tphi, titMI,<l(li>. If this has cost the planters "Jr? per cent, ntore than it could havo been bought f,r with the cash or at fair rates we see tr'JnT.t"'^.tKiDsutik and gone out of our great Southern production in ton years l'ut that in the planter s hands to-day, and where would they be'.' The truth is, this enormous loss has leaked out and been dissipated over the whole I'nion and hence our farmers a t c as t hey are. NrwnuuRV Of.!"1 tin: ?Nrwlnrry. \prtl I?

( Applause ; Goi\u ro Ckt Tiikhk Tun! ? If we remember correctly, the Straight Out Movement began in this Stale very much as the Fanners' Movement has begun. Vigorous newspaper articles from Ddgefivld, and a few ringing speeches, a rattling lire cf opposition from the wiseacres of the State press, and protest an I ridicule from leading men and correspondents marked the start. me tirttuviht .? was one ot uie first newspapers to fall into line with Kdgcfield.

Mr. Tillman, of Ivlge field, who, by all accounts is a most successful farmer, came to the conclusion that there was too little dotio in the State for the farming class of people, and commenced the agitation of a Farmers' College, which idea was at oneo seized hold of by ibosc interested in the farming int?rests ati l heralded over the State. The farmers all over the State were at once aroused to the importance of the subject, and each county in turn became interested. The question assumed such proportions that the politicians became alarmed, and, in order to stop its further considerations, because they were not the originators of tlie enterprise, cried: "Oh, it is only a political move?Mr. Tillman wants an oilice.' Such unjust imputations are unworthy the considera ion of the good people of the State, should not be countenanced anywhere.
