' -% ^ - ^t* L.'^f 'rv< Sfffe ^0*^ THE ETHICS or P01ITICS. We are sorry Mr, 8h#ppard used such berth language at F.dgefleld in speaking ol the Columbia Register. Ilia |>roTooalion wai groat but auelt words aa "liar'* and "scouo Orel" are to> frequent iu our.politics jual DOW. Hard words do not mean anything now and the tendency to use them freely seemi to be incgeasfof. For that reason those o us who are trying to be deoeot, to keep some where in sight of the rules which used t< govern the conduct of respectable ??" wugni to no an tne more careful not to fellot a ted example and to stick closaly to dro rum and dignity. The average Houth Carolioa voter is a good * t of agenilsman. He inhegiis tradition pHHHMpiWboeiB which make him demand a oar ^^^^RTdlgnlir and respect for the proprietlv id his pob'ic leaders and those who under teke to teach him. That is why wa an pleased whenever waaaa that Ihs Columbii Register bae an addition to i s list of readers The Register has introduced hare a stylo o campaign which ws bslisvo will disgust th? people Trim i no cnnr u iri'imciin biiu which (bey will resent and rebuke. We do not think, Tor instance, our peopli M a rule enjoy being whooped up as "wool hat hoys" and divided into classes on that kind of a line. Of ciurso there are in every county a few fellows who like that kind of a thing, who enjoy a vulgur story, even when told in the presence of wouien, and who howl themselves hoarse over oat lis from the stump These uiakc a good deal of noise, but they do not poll many votes, llie men who dc the voting are generally sober, eelf re?pec iog, (jod-fearingmeu, who do not talk much, who aro civil in their own way, ai d liki otlir ? to be likewise. Men of this kind d< not relish bring whooped up as if thoy were hoys, or children, or roughs. They read newspapers for uews and to form then opinions. They do not like one sided management. They see w tli homely shrewdness, through all the shouts and claims of the earth u'tered in partisan sheets. When oi>< side of a debate is printed and tlie othci suppressc 1 they know ihnt is n >t fair. When Iheysesu newspaper print charges whirl: . are la'sc or git lug false turns to facts aixl per* sting in doing it ai d suppressing cor rcctions und statemeins of (tie truth, they know that newspaper is representing a r<>t ton cause and tiding low methods in doing it The UrgiMer has made a ?cries of cli irgti wholly or entirely falseagainst the conserva tives ami tlicir camli late* ami lias not 11 urn instance, so fur as wc can remember, givii the statement mule in coiitt adic ion o explanation.

The people of South t'aiolin i me not use' ti ll at kind of thing. They are accost unci to fair play, to certain eonrtes.es to oppo ncnts. to regard for the proprieties. For that rea'on and others already sla'c wo hope that in this campaign (Sovern?r Till man and his followers will lie left a monopol of all the epithet, vn'ganly, whooping tin low tricks and sWn Icrs We have reuse and facts on our Bide.

THE HOPE OF THE~I0UTHEX2V FAKME] From many parts of the South reporl art III tkmi i k? tnrtm in bat.. attention to other orops, We may hope thi hub is ft permanent departure, and that, ere should the prioo ot cotton improve, farmer will not return to the old one crop practice Kvcrv jroar that the new policy is triod wil strengthen its hold, by showing tho increase' comfort and independence of those who tail their own grain, fodder, meat etc. It is no cotton alone that has encouraged the on crop idou Wherever there are special in ducemente to raiec a certain crop?it may b cottou, tobacco, garden truck, etc.?there i a tcudeuey to ignoro everything else. It, u course, requires less all-round know lodge aud lees ellort to go in the same rat yea alter year, than to try to succeed in v&riou lines, aud this, no doubt, explains largel the present situation. Farmers ehouii however, remember that, like others |lo I successful i hey must be progressive, and I get the full benefit of their occupation the must he constantly striving after larger an better results. The uusstiefnetory condition of Southei farmers is the result mainly of trusting uus liu|i iui cvcryming. 1110 recant lo price of cotton has increased (lie distres but every one know* that the complaii is chronic, and that farmers Lave boon bo rowing wonyr ja :"borfring/\ obtaining credit year after year, is all wronj When cotton sold well the evil was not e manifest, but now it ia ruinous. The prim need is a new system which, with ecouotn^ shall enable the farmer first to clear Itin self, and afterwards to pay as he goes, g? the full benefit of his crops, and buy wbi he needs in tbo cheapest market. Tbie new system is simply the old systoi of fasminq. as distinguished from the raisiu of a special crop. All the venerable associt tions of agriculture?its traditions of peaa plenty and independence, its claim of man iainiug the world?relate to that all-rotin fainting which includes the raising of cereal) vegetables, fruit,Juve stock, dairy product! etc., and wherever this is carried on unde fair conditions, tho farmer is n solid an prosperous roan. The farmers of the South have uudouht edly legislative and other hardships, as tit / high tariff, for example, from which, h; various movements and proposed expedi ents they arc seeking relief. Hut the grca and paramount cause of duUtc?s is die con tinnal drain for ordinary supplies th.i could and should he raised at home, lu out county alone in Tennessee, the amount pah in a year for trrain m??) 11? 0 <\>^VIUUIV3 miv. live stock, ad of which might have bsei raised at home. reached S nml ii the Memphis market the sales of S'ortheri foodstuffs and fodder to Southern pe p!e it a year amounted to Slti,H'.'JTT. N?r i this nil. True farming .supplies much o the manure for the land. The lessening of the cotton acreage callei for. to limit the crop nml secure a bellct price is Mill more urgently needed to enabh the planter to give his energies to diversi lied production. Ouco let liim do this, male ing cotton his surplus crop, and lie will b< on the way to competcnco and wetlfh while the South, with its advantages of cli mate and soil, will hecomo the ideal fanning section of the country.?The South.
