pp*v * Mrsir OF MACHINERY AND SONQ ov the Farmer.?The Northern capitalist?the Manufacturer?comes into the South, hies him to the coal and iron mines, and goes homo and sings ficans to the progressive South. As the banker er, Mr. Taylor, of New York, sang, so sing all. Hear him: "The music of progress?the whir of the spindle, the buzz of the saw, the roar of the furnace, and the throb of tho locomotive." Very good mmic, and the Star tielights to hear it. Hut even these do not always constituto solid prosperity. You may write odes by the column and spin out eulogium by the yard over tho industries that prosper because other people aro heavily taxed to grease their machinery, furnish their fuel and increase their profits, but unless tho great farm jng interests prosper (be oouutry is not on a safe basis, and trads canaot be healthy. Wo liko to sco tbo farmer prosperous and happy. Wo liko to bear bim singing in tho early morn as be drives bis "loam afield." Wo like to sec his ploughs running abreast, and the scythes gleaming in tho suDshino, and tbc wagons groaning under tho r^pada and the barns r-*~ or pa and the nousc-wife clean and cheerful and bright as a spring morning. Wo like to sco the well filled purso aftor tho year's toil and contentment and hope on every face. Wo liko to see tho farmers independent and jocund because independent, Wc like to sec him feel that in the Government he has a true friend that guards his intorcst and that never oppresses, much Uss robs him to enrich somo pnrso-proud Nnbob who draws his millions by taxing the industrious millions. When the farmers thrive there is prosperity. Without their prosperity "the music of progress" in tho machine shops and factories will not lone be heard in the land. Justico to nil should bo the priuciplo of our Government. for. "Of what avail the plow or sail, Or land or life, if freedom fail?" The priDciplo of Protection is despotic, unequal, unjust, unconstitutional. It II' rrmepreart tn ?fn anrt nets npnn lines of pocitivo robbery.

The anxiously leoksd-for decision of the Supreme Court upon the Constitutionality of the Act passed at the last session of the Legis'ature, validating the Township bonds, issued for the construction of certain rail, roads, has corao at last. "The decision declares the Act constitutional, and in short makes good these bonds, so that there is 110 further trouble in the way of issuing them for the purpose fer which they wcro originally issued. That's settled." It also settles, in our opinion, the building of the Augusta Division of the .'1 C's road, and we may now confidently look for active. energetic railroad work through here in n short time.

About Christmas, it seams that Mr. Black, a reputable num from Union came hero and stopped at Mrs Daves boarding house on Church street. ! lie had known Miss Daves in Union before they moved here. While nerc he proposed matrimony to Miss Daves, and they went to Mr. Dcrieux and were duly married. After a few days Mr. Black returned to Union and refused to live with his bride, lie says he is not married to Iter, und if ho was he was so drunk that lie did not know what lis was doing. Mr. Dorieux says that if he was at ail intoxicated he did not discover it. la tho mean time the girl, against whom no word of slander is spoken, is in an em barrnssing position.

Fresentment to tho Reform CourtMb. Editor.?Tbo Grand Jurj of the Spring terra of Kcforra Court beg leave to make the following presentment to bis ex- ? cfellency, Judge Sensible, presiding: Y Wo, your Grand Jury, vi?it#4 your town Y last Friday and found several things to 9 which we earnestly call your attention : On our way we found that one, an cxauae j, for a farmer, bad thrown the manure from / bis so-called stable out at tbe door, ae he ( said, to leach and keep it rrom burning his ^ ootten. Wo know that such acta are folly, a that manure need# no leaching and he should j have kept his stable well littered and made j ten times the amount of manure. ? Another had composted his stable manure ( with cotton seed letting it heat till it had \ well nigh bccotno worthless, becoming ( white and in bard dry clods. He wil ( drilling it amid gullies and rock piles. Suoh aots are flagrant outrages on the ( science of furmiog. Iio should have put hiu rnnUa nrntmd hi* hill* in terraces. and never allowed his compost heap to here heated. We nleo state (hat it is an erroneous idea that a man who is not competent to fill any other position in li'* can make a farmer. And wo further assert that as much intol, 14*4 * a a ?|?Ult r* eu eaa?of??\ far ft* its ? m in any other avocation. We recommend that your Honor, Judge Sensible, havo orected an agricultural college on every farm, in order that practical nnd profitable farming may flourish. Nothing is more grateful than old mother earth. If wo feed and dress her carefully wo are sure to always have plenty. We visited the County Allianco at their Inst meeting, aud found it oomposcd principally of intelligent, honest and energetio men, furnishing ment to the honest paor man nt 6 cents per pound, an time, less than last year ; corn at 26 cents per bushel" ou time, less than last year, Sic. For tha [ good of honest men in every calling wo i recommend that the Alliance bo encouraged r in their efforts to bring about reform, i Wo further recommend that each delogale to the County Alliance, eat no mackerel on the morning ho attends the said Alliance, ; or else bring with him a canteen of water, for a few became thirsty soon after theopeni* iug of tlio Alliance, and we don't know whore they found a drink, but fear they i stumbled into sorao of those flood-gates of a misery with which your town is cursed. L We recommend to every dolegate the Soripi ture injunction : ' Avsid the vsry appearanco of evil." 5 Wo further recommend that belter and i more appropriate signs be erected in front i of the aforesaid tlood-gales. We think they should kcop a cauldron cf tar and a brimstone burning at their entrances, to o plainly picture tho destiny of those dots scribed in 13th verse of St. Judc, es it may slightly accustom and prepare the edvecatca g and supportere of tho Heod-gates for their final abode, when death shall place them e upon their victims' imprecation, and bear thcra to their home down that mighty river 0 of tears, wrung from the broken hearts of J dron. 1 All of which ie respectfully submitted 0 this, the 10th of April, 1889.
