JttttMflttis department. 5 SUN DUST. Dave Kensett, an industrious old negro who lives down in the bottoms, is greatly < annoyed by the members of the church to ] which his wife belongs, and especially is ! he annoyed by Strawfoot Alf, the preach er. No one has any confidence in Alfs i honesty, and it is only his ability as an or- \ ganizer and camp-meeting sensationalist < that he is permitted to remian in the i church. Old Dave was known as a good i liver. Baked shoat, buttermilk and cab- < bage were nearly always found on his | table. No matter how adverse the wind i j might be. Alf could, from a great distance, ! < snitT the incense of a shoat, and unless the 11 the intervening water courses were swol-1 j lbn beyond a point of safety, he always : j managed to be on hand. Naturally: \ Annuirh. Dave became tired. Although !, not strictly religious, he was willing to Bo , his part toward keeping up the church, g but he was not willing to take entire care i of the preacher. ] " 'Liza," old Dave one day remarked to j his wife, "I'll bet dat shoat won't be raor'n , brown good 'fore Alf will be heah wid his < raouf open." "Oh ! doan talk dater way, Dave." "Wall, he will, no matter whuder I talks j dater way ur not. I'll bet he's already gunter fling dat awful nose o' hizen up in- i ter de a'r. 'Liza, I's gitlin' mighty tired | o' dat gennerman's 'vastation. He's got < er appertite like er suck-hole and blame 'fi i gwineter stan' him no longer." i "Oh! doan speckterate dat way, Dave, ] fur he's my brudder in de church." "I doan kere ef he wuz yer brudder in < de flesh, I ain't gwine ter stan' him. W'y l he woold break up de gubner o' de State. ; Yander he comes now. What did I dun j j toleyer ?" < "Wall, fur heaben's sake doan say nuth- i in'. Treat him wid warm frien'ship. < Promise me dat, won't yer?" "Oh! yas, I'll treat him wid warm frien'- i ship." "Mawnia' ter yer ; raawnin'," said the i preacher, as he opened the gate. "How j does yer do dis mawnic," Brudder Dave ?" i "Fust-rate, I gins yer thanks." I "An' yerse'f, Sister Liza ?" i "Oh! I's mighty well, I thanks yer, 1 'siderin' dis awful hot weader. Let me < fetch me a cheer." 1 "I thanks yer, sister." i The preacher sat down, took off his plug j hat anu wiped the perspiration from his t hald head. ] "TAmmo talrn vnr hat. Brudder Alf." i said Dave. i He took the hat, went into the kitchen, took down a paper of ground red pepper and gave the inside of the "tile" a liberal i sprinkling. Then returning to the sitting- i room he placed the hat on the bed. i "Dis is a mighty iotig dry spell," said < Dave wheu he rejoined the preacher, who i sat, leaning back against the house. "Yas, it's awful." "I wuz read in' in a paper dis mawnin" ' Brudder Aif, dat er monstrous sight o' peo- 1 pie is bein' killed by de sun." "Datso?"' ; "Yas, an' cu'is ter say, de cullud folks is gettin' de wo'at o' it." 1 "Am dat er fack ?" asked the preacher. "Yas, an' da say shoat dis sorter weder ! knocks er man sideways; but I kain't he'p ( dat, fur dar ain't nothin' dat fits my ap- ] pertite like er baked shoat. Wife, she's ' in de kitchen dar now, tnoppin' one." "I 'grees wid yer, Bruder Dave. Shoat fits my appertite, an' I's gwineter eat it ' sun or no sun." ' "Yas, I speck so. De great doctor whut * I wuz readin' erbout in de paper dis . mawnin' said dat he neber did see de sun 1 retch ober an' hit down in sich er awful j way, an' er strange fack is dis: Er man 1 fust feels it by er burnin' on de top o' de head. De burnin' gets wuss, an' ef he's ' gwine to die putty soon, he puts his han' < on de top o' his head an' fin's some little < red stuff. De doctor says dat dis is sun dust." 1 "Yerdoan tell me so!" the preacher * exclaimed. 1 "Oh, yas, I does, an' its awful bad, too. . Er pusson doan know when he gwine ter 1 git dat sun dust on his head. Er po' man * stopped heah day afore yistiday an' axed \ fur a drink o' water. I axed him ter come ' X am) I svrO Aiitna V* a <ltiMntr rl a iatnw Kn mif 1U. au juo ai ici uu uiuua uo naiot lie j/uw his han' on his head an' 'plained. Putty soon he raked offsumthin' red. I neberdid see sich er look ez come oaten dat man's eyes. He run outen de house an' toted hisse'f off in er hurry. Sence den I heerd dat de po' man wuz dead an' de red stuff wuz sun dust. Say, Brudder Alf, while Liza's er moppin' dat shote wid er mighty fine gravy, s'pose we step down ter de lot an' look at de blooded calf." The preacher agreed. "Neber mine yer hat," Dave added. "Yas, yer bettergit it, furde sun's awful." The preacher put on his hat and walked along with old Dave, and had not gone far when he remarked: "My head is sorter smartin', Brudder Dave." "Oh, I reckon not. It mus' be yer 'magination. Da say dat when de sun dust comes de bes' thing is exercise, but I j h'lfihp dat. whan it rin nnmn er ntissnn is putty nigh gone." They had walked a short distance farther, when the preacher stopped and said: "Look a-heah, I b'lebes dar is suthin' de matter wid me, fur my head's er stingin' like fi-yer." "I reckons not." "But I knows it is." He took off his hat, passed his hand over his head, looked at his hand and exclaimed : ' "Oh! Lawdy." "Whut's de matter? Lemme see! Dinged ef it ain't sun dust!" "Oh! Lawdy," again exclaimed the preacher, and leaping over the fence, he rushed into the woods. Old Dave shook. He took off his hat, shook his head, and, as he saw the preacher leap over a log and disappear, he said: "It am er pity dat er good man like dat is so badly 'dieted. Ef dat sun dust keeps on er fallin' 'roun' heah no nigger ain't gwine ter be safe, er haw, haw! Fust thing I knows I mout be racin' 'roun' like er deer, er he, he!" When Dave returned to the house his ivifjQ QQI^MI 9 "Whar'sBrudder Alf?" i "Ob, he said dat he had some bus'oess 1 ter 'ten' ter, an' dat we mu9' 'scuze him terday. I tried ter 'suade him ter come in an' eat er snack, but he said he wa'n't hun- i gry." 1 "Didn' yer say suthin' ter hurt his feel- i in's, Dave?" i "No, bless yer." I "Wall, yer musn' treat him wrong. I i tole yer ter treat him wid warm frien'shlp," "YVall, dat's zackly whut I done. I i reckons he's mo'n two mile frum heah by distime." As 'Liza turned to place the shoat on the table, Dave poked his head out of the door and laughed.?[Arkansaw Traveler, ; Couldn't Afford It.?Sam Green, an Alabama justice of the peace, ha9 his own peculiar ideas of the fitness of things. Two men, arrested for fighting, were taken before Sam's court. After hearing the ev- 1 idence the justice, addressing one of the men, said: "Mr. Tucker, you may go." "Hold on, judge!" exclaimed the other man. "You forget that he shot me and that I had done nothing to him." 1 "That's so," the justice responded. "I had intended to let you off, and am sorry 1 that I made a mistake in rendering my decision, but as this court cannot afford to humiliate itself by reversing its own opin- , ion, I'll let Mr. Tucker go and will fine , you ten dollars." ( One evening a man, tall and spare, surrounded by a country atmosphere, cautiously approached the desk of a Washington hotel and hesitatingly said he wanted ; a room. The clerk placed the register be- j fore him, and handed him a pen. "What's that for?" inquired the would-be guest. "Sign your name, please," was the reply. "I've got a lady with me. It's my wife? we've just got married," was the faltering 1 remark of the visitor. "Then write both your names on the register," was the ad- ! vice given. An inspection a moment later revealed the following entry: "Miss Jennie & me." ( An Appropriate Article.?"Here is 1 an article that was handed me down in the drug store," said the reporter, as he gave the editor of the Kansas daily an oblong object wrapped in a newspaper. "I j thought may be you might wish to use , it." " Yes," was the reply, as from the depths J of the package the editor removed the , cork and allowed something to trickle j down his throat, "the article is very appropriate, and I think we will run it on the inside this afternoon." * i ] WSF "What are you pouting about, John- i ny?"

With other practical suggestions made ^ >n the cultivation of Irish potatoes by Mr. Morrison, as reported by Pixie Farmer, d were the following: After you have decided what variety t pou wish to plant, the next thing is how to plant for best results. Some potato growers advocate planting oue eye, some 11 two, others three, others a small potato whole, some large potatoes whole, while it others say.all you need is to eat the potatoes and plant the peelings. Now, I find 0 in this, as in other things where doctors c Jiffer so widely, the middle ground is the F jafest. I therefore recommend the selecting of large and well shaped potatoes fl having a clear skin, with full eyes that v have not been sprouted; then cut so that each piece has at least two eyes and a part a 5f the heart or core of the potato. This fc plan is called by Dr. Sturtevant the scien' " - ? a _ * - ? ?"A/1 f AAO tvnf Line memoa ui cuuhik sccu * [t is not new by any means, for it has been v practiced by our people, the Scotch fartnsrs, for over thirty years, and they simply sail it the common sense way. ? In cutting you should use a very thin, x jarrow bladed knife, an old table or case knife that has been ground thin and sharp t will answer. The reason for this is, that 1 a thick backed knife, such as a pocket knife, causes the potato to crack across the c zore or eye roots that extend from the eye .. to the center, although you don't readily see them ; but by the aid of a potato that has the core colored, you will get the idea. 4 I have found seed to do better when cut a f lay or two before planting. The cut part t becomes dryer and is more easily handled. Dry wood ashes sifted over cut seed has r also a good effect. Have the drills open- p 3d in the morning and left open during g the greater part of the day, so that the soil and the seed may get warm, which , will give the seed a quicker start than / they otherwise would get. Plant seed I witfi the eyes up, in the- prepared drills, about twelve inches apart, and cover lightly. If your land needs any addition- t al manure, sow on top of drills from 400 to 1 !>00 pounds of good fertilizer per acre. If l the land becomes caked by heavy rains it will pay well to ran a light harrow on the drills to break up the crust before the y plants are up ; then again when three to g four inches high run a cultivating harrow across the drills. From that on the soil should be frequently stirred so that it may > retain the moisture as well as to loosen the h ground around the plants. While I favor t in the South level culture as a general r thing, owing to the long drought we have, yet I have had the best results from . slightly hilling or hoeing up the drills at the time of laying by the crop, which * should be just before the blossom comes ? an ; after that potatoes should not be disturbed. Cold Weather Rules.?Never lean ^ with your back upon anything that is cold'. j. Never begin a journey until the breakfast has been eaten. Never take warm drink and then im- r mediately go out in the cold. r Keep the back, especially between the J shoulder blades, well covered ; aiso me r ihest well protected. In sleeping in a cold room establish a habit of breaming through . the nose, and never with the mouth open. p Never go to bed with cold or damp feet, r Never omit regular bathing, for unless , the skin is in active condition the cold will close the pores, and favor congestion tnd other diseases. v After exercise of any kind, never ride a in an open carriage or near the window of ' i car for a moment; it is dangerous to n lealth and even life. When hoarse, speak as little as possible . intil the hoarseness is recovered from, ? ilse the voice may be permanently lost, or )r difficulties of the throat be produced. r Merely warm the back by the fire, and a lever continue keeping the back exposed x> the heat after it has become comfortably t .varm. To do otherwise is debilitating, j When going from a warm atmosphere c nto a cooler one, keep the mouth closed, v >o that the air may be warmed in its pastage through the nose ere it reaches the ungs. 1 Never stand still in cold weather, es- 1 >ecially after having taken a slight de- c jree of exercise, and always avoid stand- r ng on ice or snow, or where the person is jxposed.to cold wind. j, J6T A correspondent of the Daily World * jays: "I am surprised so little is said 1 ibout pumpkins as an article of food for 5 lairy cows. Perhaps our familiarity with 8 :his old-time food leads us to its neglect, ust as a farmer's son goes past the home- r ?pun beauty of a neighbor's daughter for s the more dashing attractions of some city- d ared miss, only to see his error when it is s too late. Your correspondents tell us t ibout ensilage, hay, corn fodder, bran, >ats, corn, etc.; sometimes they even men- v tion roots, but never a word about pump- p tins; and yet this old-time iooa is one 01 ~ jreat consequence. It is easy of produc- y Lion, producing immense returns both for ? the ground occupied and for the labor expended, It is relished by all kinds of neat itock and by hogs. It is nourishing and v healthful for them at all seasons, but more I jspecially so during the early winter t months, when they first come on to dry 1 food. Milch cows in particular are great- r ly benefitted by at least one mess daily. It is laxative and anti-scorbutic?just the thing needed when otherwise dry f od ? ilone is available. Stored in a cool place ? that does not freeze very hard, they can be kept in good condition until February." ? Removing Old Hedges.?Many farmers tolerate hedges where they are no = longer needed, because of the supposed . ?reat labor and difficulty required to get them out of the way. If cut down they iprout again, and th?ir roots are toojtrong to admit of plowing them up. to dig ~ them out seems therefore the only remedy, and this involves such heavy expense i that we can hardly wonder if the job is c cften indefinitely postponed. But there is F i much easier way. During the winter c cut the hedges as close to the ground as c possible, and let the hedge lie, making a arrow and compact row over the roots. Next spring new sprouts will start, and as ? won as these are in full leaf, pile on a little t: straw and burn it. The hedge cut last : winter will, with very little help,burn, and \ with it destroy the new growth. The next season the roots will be rotted sufficiently to enable a good team with a 3trong plow to cut them up and turn over t the soil. It is then planted with potatoes, f for which the mixture of ashes and rotten f 3od makes an admirable preparation. So f inexpensive is this method that often the F first crop of potatoes on the ground re- F deemed from waste will pay the cost. ^-4- -4. A Cure for Diphtheria.?-The fol- f lowing remedy is said to be the best a known, at least it is worth trying, for phy- d sicians seem powerless to cope with the 1 disease successfully, At the first indica- % tion of diphtheria in the throat of a child, a make the room close; then take a tin cup and pour into it a quantity of tar and tur- . pentine, equal parts. Then hold the cup !. over a fire so as to fill the room with the r fumes. The little patient, on inhaling the 1 fumes, will cough up and spit out all the j; membranous matter, and the diphtheria * will pass off. The fumes of the tar and 5 turpentine loosen the matter in the throat, and thus afford the relief that has baffled e the skill of physicians.?[Scientific A meri- I can. \ The Color of Horses.?"We have * never been very positive about the color g of horses having much to do with their usefulness, speed or endurance," asserts the editor of Field and Farm. A test has c lately been made in France to determine ? whether color had anything to do with 1 horse characteristics, and it was demon- f strated that it had not. Pedigree, feed c and early training had all to do with it, f say the French experts, and color nothing c whatever. Among the breeders of trotters it used to be said that a white legged horse \ was not worth raising, and so itj passed c current until Dexter, with his white stock- r ings above his knees, paralyzed the betting N men and the old fogies who knew that 8 three white legs could never win. j Salt for Dairy Cows.?Dairy cattle t ought to have access to salt every day, and salt should be added to all their stable s feed. A series of experiments has con- a vinced me that when cows are denied salt 1 for a period of even one week, they will e yield from 14} to 17* per cent, less milk, r and that of an inferior quality. Such milk 1 will, on an average, turn sour in twenty- a four hours less time than milk drawn from a the same or similar cows receiving salt, all other conditions of treatment being ! equal.?[Professor Robertson. ?

To the Democracy of South Carolina: For four years the Democratic party jn the State has been deeply agitated, and efforts have been made at the primaries and conventions to secure retrenchment and reform, and a recognition of the needs and rights of the masses. The first farmers' convention met in April, 188G. Another in November of the same year perfected a permanent organization under the name of the "Farmers' Association of South Carolina." This association, representing the reform element in the party, has held two annual sesions since, and at each of these four conventions, largely attended by representative farmers from nearly all the counties, the demands of the people lor greater economy in tne government, greater efficiency in its officials, and a fuller recognition of the necessity for cheaper and more practical education, have been pressed upon the attention of our legislators. In each of the two last Democratic Stute conventions, the "farmers' movement" has had a large following, and we only failed of controlling the convention of 1888 by a small vote?less than twenty-five? and that, too, in the face of the active opposition of nearly every trained politician in the State. We claim that we have always had a majority of the people on our 3ide, and have only failed by reason of the superior political tactics of our opponents and our lack of organization. In proof1 of this we point to Abbeville and Chester, the only counties except Charleston, which had not already appointed delegates to the State convention before the campaign meetings two years ago at which Governor Richardson spoke. Both of those counties, after hearing the Governor defend his policy and that of his faction, repudiated him and it, and he received ouly two votes from them. Theexecutive committee of the Farmers' Association did not deem it worth while to hold any convention last November, but we have watched closely every move of the enemies of economy?the enemies of agricultural education, the enemies of true Jeffersonian Democracy?and we tninK me time na3 come 10 snow me people what it is they need and how to accomplish their desires. We will draw up the indictment against those who have been and are still governing our State, because it isatonce the cause and justification of the course we intend to pursue. South Carolina has uever had a real Republican government. Since the days of the 'lords proprietors' it has been an aristocracy under the forms of democracy, and whenever a champion of the people has attempted to show them their rights, and advocated those rights, an aristocratic oligarchy has bought him with an office, or failing in that, turned loose the flood gates of misrepresentation and slander in order to destroy his influence. The peculiar condition now existing in the State, requiring the united efforts of every true white man to preserve white supremacy and our very civilization even, has intensified and tended to make permanent the conditions which existed before the war. Fear of a division among us and consequent return of negro rule has kept the people quiet, and they have submitted to many grievances, imposed by the ruling faction, because they dreaded to risk such division. The "farmers' movement" has been hampered and retarded in its work by this con dition ot the public minu, uuc \vc nave shown our fealty to our race by submitting to the edicts of the party, and we intend, as heretofore, to make our fight inside the party lines, feeling assured that truth and justice must finally prevail. The results of the agitation thus far are altogether encouraging. Inch by inch and step by step, true Democracy?the rule of the peoplehas won its way. We have carried all the outposts. Only two strongholds remain to be taken, and with the issues fairly made up and put plainly to the people, we have no fear of the result. The house of representatives has been carried twice and at last held after a desperate struggle. The advocates of reform and economy are no longer sneered at as "Three-for-a-quarter statesmen." They pass measures of economy which four years ago would have excited only derision, and with the farmers' movement to strengthen their backbone, have withstood the cajolery, threats and impotent rage of the "ring bosses." The senate is now the main reliance of the enemies of retrenchment and reform, who oppose giving the people their rights. The senate is the strong-hold of "existing institutions," and the main dependence of those who are antagonistic to all progress. As we captured the house we can capture the senate; but we must control the Democratic State convention before we can hope to make economy popular in Columbia, or be assured of no more pocket vetoes. The general assembly is largely influenced by the ideas and policy of the State officers, and we must elect those before we can say the farmers' movement has accomplished its mission. It is true that we have wrenched from the aristocratic coterie who were educated at and sought to monopolize everything for the South Carolina college, the right to control the land scrip and Hatch fund and a part " f ! 1 ! r/nnu /\n o ui lilt; |iii viic^t; iaa kju ict initio iui vuu year, and we have ?40,000 with which to commence building a separate agricultural college where the sons of poor farmers can get a practical education at small expense. But we dare not relax our efforts or rely upon the loud profession of our opponents as to their willingness now to build and equip this agricultural school. Senator McMaster, a trustee of the South Carolina college, gave voice to the sentiments and wishes which are prevalent at the University and Military Academy, when he "hoped to see the infernal Clemson college sink out of sight next year." They all want to sink the "infernal" agricultural college out of sight, and if its friends do not rally once more to its support, it will either be destroyed or starved, so that it cannot do the great work it is expected to accomplish. All the cry about "existing institutions" which must remain inviolate, shows that the ring?the South Carolina University, Citadel, Agricultural Bureau, Columbia club, Greenfield building ring?intend in the future as in the past, to get all they can and keep all they get. These pets of the aristocracy and its nurseries are only hoping that the people will again sink into their accustomed apathy. The University was given an increased appropriaton, and there is no thought of transferring it to Fort Jlill, although the land scrip fund which is sent there was expressly donated for tho purpose of mechanical as well as agricultural education, and so with the experiment stations. The Hatch fund is given to the Clemson college, but the stations are left at Columbia and Spartanburg, under the control of the South Carolina college. Is it not plain that these people intend to yield obedience to the law only when they are made to do it ? The Farmers' Association demands that the land scrip and Hatch funds and the fertilizer tax shall be consolidated and used for the building and maintenance of a first class industrial school, with experiment stations attached, for farmers and mechanics. We hold that the experimental work, the educational work and the inspection and analysis of fertilizers, can all be more efficiently and economically carried on under one board, mostly at one place, and much of it by the same corps of men who teach. We have never and do not now want any increase of taxes to accomplish these ends. Butour opponents having seized the opportunity afforded by our agitation to double the income of the South Carolina college firwl pull if n nnivprqitv. and in addition obtained the Hatch fund of $10,000, donated for experiment stations, cry out: "Take your Clemson college ! We will give you $08,000 or $108,000 if you want it raised by taxation, but don't touch "existing institutions." They have built with our bricks, but say we must not take them, but that we can build if we make others. Was there ever such impudence ? They seized first the land scrip fund. Then they misappropriated the Hatch fund, they increased the taxes $05,000 a year to equip and maintain the different departments of the grand university. They voted $00,000 in one lump without even a division to rebuild, repair and equip the Citadel Academy, and then say to tax-paying farmers: "Leavoour existing institutions alone. Let the agricultural bureau with its board?who are our chosen sons, every man of them belonging to or aspiring to belong to our aristocratic ring?let this bureau waste $30,000 a year more?leave our Experiment Stations at Darlington, Columbia and Spartanburg alone. We expect to control votes with them and they must not be touched." Put your hands in your pockets and pay for your Clemson College if you will have I it, and we will vote the taxes. An analy-1 sis of the vote in the house and senal which defeated the consolidation of all 01 agricultural work, shows that the boar and department of agriculture are su tained by the fertilizer manufacturers, th phosphate miners and the University an Citadel. If a farmer voted for its contii uanco it is because he felt that the Sout Carolina University would lose soroethin by its abolition. The support of the ferti izer companies is easy to understand. Th bureau has been their best friend. Ye* after year we have been told by Commi: sioner Butler that the guanos inspecte were below the guarantees, but nobod has been punished. In fact there is n adequate punishment for selling fraudi lent guanos in this State. The bill pn pared by the committee of the Farmer: Association for the reorganization of th Board of Agriculture, would have secure our farmers against swindling fertilize dealers, but it was amended to death b the lawyers in the senate who are attoi neys for the phosphate mineis and ferti izercompanies; and the men who vver utikSft+Arl /-?? f V*n Krta rH Awor f ho nAmlnora? / UU l/IIV> WUUIU V/T V4 I'll t IIV'lll I liCCO V the farmers' convention were chosen nt because they are more loyal to the agricu tural interests, or better fitted for the pos: tion, but because they are friends of th University and belong to or are subservier to our aristocracy?"so called"?and th phosphate miners are too well satisfle with the system of collecting the Stat royalty to permit a change if they ca help it. How wouderfully perfect or d( fective this system is, is shown by th fact that during the ten years under th same officials not a single indictment ha been brought against any one for attempi ing to swindle the State out of its dues. N wonder Charleston is in love with the A| ricultural Bureau and cannot bear to se that "existing institution" disturbed. The recent proposal to sell the State interest in the phosphate beds isfortunat< because thereby the attention of taxpayei is attracted to this most important mattei The Farmers' Association proposed i 1886 to increase the royalty as a means c lowering taxes, and we believe this can b safely done to the extent of $100,000. A legislative committee was appointe to "investigate" and report on thesubjec This was only done to give time?waitin ten months until the market had bee manipulated, etc. This committee pr< ceeded to show how well it had bee chosen "notto do it." There was no hot est effort made to get at the real facts as t the profits of the business and its abilit to stand an increase of royalty; and afte it had been "wined and dined," an brought into a suitable frame of mind, thf committee came to Columbia and actuall proposed to give the six largest companu a monopoly for a less annual rental tha the State was then receiving. Only on senator, to whom all honor is due, dissen ed from this outrageous proposal. Whs was the result? Of course the general ai sembly did not act favorably upon it, bi all fhnnrvhf nf on innrnoQO r\f rovulhr U7? uii invugaiu wi (?u i nvi vnou u i vjwivj ?? v plso abandoned, and this was what th corporation attorneys, who were there i the interest of their clients and not of thei constituents, had been working for. "Th goose that lays the golden egg"?was nt killed?"existing institutions" were tic disturbed. Phosphate rock, which lit been manipulated down to $3.40 per toi advanced in two months after the legish ture adjourned to $(>.00, and has since ru ed between $5.50 and $7.50 per ton. Th golden eggs are still being laid, but not i the State's nest?whether some of thei have not gone into pockets which the ought not, is an open question. Now, w want to warn the people that the chartt of the Coosaw company?obtained b bribery, it is said, of a radical legislatureexpires in 1891. This company, which hf grown fabulously rich, claims to have a pe: petual contract, with exclusive right 1 mine in Coosaw river, and pay only one do lar per ton for the privilege. The nextlef islature must act on this question, and th nexi auorney general muy nave tu ie; these claims in court. The whole questio of phosphate management or mismanagt ment must be settled. Can the taxpayei afford to allow any but true men go to th senate, or elect a corporation lawyer i attorney general ? Shall the politician choose him, or shall we, casting aboi among the many honorable, patriotic lav yers of the State, make the selection oui selves? The legislature which hasjusta( journed has other sins to answer for, c rather the senate must be held responsi ble. The people demanded that the rai road commissioners should have some thing to do besides draw their salaries an spend them. We want protection agains the greed of the gigantic corporations owi ed at the North, which regard South Cai olina as a lemon to be squeezed, and cai nothing for the welfare of our towns, 01 State or our people. The railroad laws of 18? made thecorr mission a power to defend the peopl against imposition. The same legislatui which enacted it, having been bamboozle or debauched, at the very next session le it only asasinecure with fatsalariesand n power. We have just seen the disgracefi farce repeated. The law was vastly in nroved at the session of 1888. but after year, which has shown the weakness an unfitness of the present incumbents, fc they have done very little, the senate pei emptorily refused to make any change: The railroad commissioners, now in offici have been "tamed," so to speak, by th railroads, and men who have not been s long under their wing m'ght have don something in the interest of the people but the same senate, which has again an again thwarted the people, which refusi to reduce salaries, which fought the C'lerr son college and yielded at last to necessit only, which is the stronghold of aristocrt cy with its old, extravagant, non-progre: sive, impracticable ideas, which in a wor is dominated by Charleston's rich polit cians?that senate resolved to maintai this "existing institution," too, statu qui Of all the taxes we pay, the pensions t Confederate veterans are submitted t most willingly, and we regret that we car not increase the pittance they receiv< But the continuance of men in office n political pensioners, after their ability c willingness to serve the people is gonewhen the interests and even the rights ( the people are thereby sacrificed?thi pandering to sentiment?this favoritismis a crime, nothing more and nothing less ltotation in office is a cardinal Democrati principle, and the neglect to practice it i the cause of many of the ills we suffer. We cannot elaborate the other counts i this indictment. We can only point brie ly to the mismanagement of this penitenti ary, which is a burden on the taxpayers even while engaged in no public work which might benefit the State.

Will soften a summer fallow. Wi! e break up clods and lumps. Will pay its cos bv increasing the yield. Will make the bes possible seed bod for graiu. Will work aroun stumps, in hollows, or on knolls. Will mi 1* rough manure with the soil as no other harrow le can. Will lift and turn the soil to be fertilize e by the sun and atmosphere. Will cut weeds j corn stalks, cotton stalks, and roots and bgr them at one operation. Will increase the cro at least twenty per cent, by reason of Its thoi j ough work. Will prepare grain stubble an U corn stubble and cotton stubble lands for sow 1- ing without using a plow. There is no implc a ment in the world adapted to more uses, an d none has been more successful in every localit )r whore introduced. The Corbin Disk Harrow is intended to successfully take the place of tb Cultivator, Drag, Smoothing Harrow, Sprin 3< Tooth Harrow, Drill, and on some soils th S, Plow, for it will do all that any, and mor ie than most, of these tools will do. Used as 10 Seeder it will cover every seed to a uniforr l6 depth. Will puy its cost in seeding grai ,. alone, as it covers every seed.
