Your corres|>ondent from BlackviUe
remarks also in reference to this same
Congressman that he does not repre
sent the people of this Congressional
district.”
It is an qnfqrtunate condition of
affairs if these views are entertained
by a majority of the constituents of
the representative of the Second dis
trict, as it may verify his own predic
tions of a political revolution, which
your paner justly remarks will proba
bly be felt more by the member allud
ed to himself than any one else, inas
much as such a revolution would un
doubtedly retire him into the shades
of private life.
Let us sec if the charge that the
Second Congressional district is mis
represented has any foundation In
act.
First, then, we vent ure the assertion
that this member will not find I per
ueat.^ of the voters of his district in
lympathy w t . his auti-Aininistration
Mews: The bold, in inly and inde
pendent course of President Cleve
land is njuuli admired and fully en
dorsed by the Second District. The
fruis less hut persistent onslaughts of
Mr. Tillma-i on Oleveiand’s Adminis
tration, or to use his own language in
his famous silyer speech in Congress,
his tight against ‘‘T°in Walker, the
devil and Groyci Cleveland,” reminds
us of the valiant but somewhat disas
trous charge of Doq Duixote and his
man Sancho Panza upon the wind
mill.
Secondly. Apart from the charge
that Grover Cleveland is the cause of
the low price of potton and general
financial depression, ( and lie ought
as well have included the Sabine Pass
disaster TMr. -Tiilman 15 vehement in
his opposition to civil service reform.
Now if iseertainly true that the peo
ple In his district, in overwhelming
majority, sustain the President in hi-
civil service reform policy, if for no
other reason, because it W** 8 the plat
form upon' which he was eluOted, ami
without which he could not been
elected, and his adherence to that
joliey is simply honesty and good
faith To the people who elected him
and should commend itself to the gen-
tKhdaii from the Second Congressional
district of South Carolina if we arc
able tq show that he decs not represent
ie principlcsjofthe people whoelected
him. The people themselves have
very little care coqperiling the bicker-
rigs of disappointed office-seekers or
Congressmen bereft Qf their patron
age by civil service reform.
3. It may be well doubted if one-
fourth of the people of the district
agree with Mr. Tillman in his opposi
tion to the Blair (educational) bill.
In this bill he finds a bug-bear of a
provision that gives Federal super-
visingcontrol of our free schools if we
accept and have the Goverment
through this channel. Your corres
pondent, *‘B. O. D.” with the bill be
fore him, exposes the fallacy of thi>
argument, and the unbounded appre
hension of the opposers of the hill,
and shows jn h* 8 able communica

The Department of Agriculture.
Darlington Ncwh.
The Department of Agriculture
was organized in 1880. Let us consid
er what it lias been doing during the
seven years of its existence!
First, who have composed the
Board of Agriculture! It has been
presided over by Gov. Simpson,
Gov. Jeter, Gov. Hagood Gov
Thompson,and Gov. Sheppard is now
the chairman. Of these, Jeter, Ha
good and Sheppard have all had large
farming interests, ami Col. Richard
son, who will be the next chairman,
has always been a farmer.
The members of the Board have
been, B F Crayton, farmer, D P Dun-
cair, funner, J N Lipscomb, farmer,
W D Johnson, farmer and lawyer,
and A J S Perry, merchant, ai.d large
ly interested in stock raising.
The Chairman, Col. A P Butler, Is
a successful farmer and never held
any office besides Commissioner of
Agriculture, except tljut of Senator
from his county.
The Depqrtmeqt is now ope of the
best eqqi^pe^ ami organized in the
United spates. It lias a complete
laboratory and a thorough, compe-
teqt Chemist. The Botanist, Dr. H
\V Ravanel, stands high among th
scientists of this country and the ohi
wo,rid. The special assistant is famil
iar with all matters ’elating to thc
phosphnle interests of the State, and
to his energy is due in a large mea
sure the enormous increase in
the phosphate royalty derived by th •
State on the rock mined from the
j public streams. A State weather
' service is betug organized by Capt.
Richard Granam of the United States
Signal Service Department, and sta
tions, with competent observers, will
soon be established iu all sections ol
the State. The Department is issu
ing monthiy front 5,000 to 0030 ccpie»
of a monthly bulletin containing
many matters of interest to tiie farm
er, and is making experiments in tlu-
culture of cotton, which will be ex
tended so as to include all other
crops. A farmer has been selected in
each county to make experiments
In the culture of tobacco, thus practi
cally establishing an expcriuentul
farttt in every county. Crop reports
aqd agricultural statistics arc com
piled and published monthly. About
200 analyses ot mineral waters will be
made tips year. Pond fish will be
distributed in every section of the
Stati, and migratoiy i sh relei se I
t 'u tne principal streams. Hand
books and other matter giving infor
mation about the resources and ad
vantages of the State are mailed daily
from the Department tq aU parte ol
the- world. The finest and iqoet com
plete. collection of the natural and
manulqctqred products of South Car
olina is now on exhibition in the I)e-
partweut building and attracts. Hie
attention of all our progressive citi
zens and of strangers who vikit Co
lumbia.
This is a general outline of the
work which is being done by the de
partment. Is it not, then, of benefit
to the farmers of the State.
ahy such construction.
Vft
, eapprehendiqat the true inward-
nqasof this oppositjpq is Mr Tillman’s
objection to educating negroes at all,
and the beneftqitiqt provisions of this
billin'fa'vor 01 the poor white child
ren of this country are to be sacrificed
to this senseless prejudice.
• 4. Mr. Tillman does not represent
the yieWs of any considerable portion
of ills constituents on the tariff ques
tion. Reis a protectionist; they are
either free traders or advocate tariff
for revenue only, aqd his course in
supporting Sam Randall in his race
with Carlyle did not meet the approv
al of the voters of this district.
5. Tillmaq advocates unlimited
coinage of silver, aud his people, in
great majorty, are in accord with Pres
ident Cleveland on the silver ques-
t’on.
6. Mr. Tilltqaq tqkes issue and finds
fault with Senators. Hampton and
Butler. In his district'tlibsje repre
sentatives are like Ctesar’s* Mfe—
above suspicion. We might go fur
ther and, in many other instances,
show that the people of this diatrict
are‘‘misrepresented,” as in the eleo-
niargarine bill, for instaqce, but will
only say that Mr. Tillman has been
hutting against everything iq the in
terest of the South Carolina Democra
cy so long that, like his oleotnarga-
i-ine (to use a borrowed expression) xve
might write him down a ‘‘bad but-
tc Fi* *
He has championed the liquor
cause, very’ much to the disgust of the
Prohibitionists of his district, who
constitute a very large, repectable
and powerful body of voters. They do
not find fault with Mr. Tillman’s pri
vate view on this question. They
recognize his right to his own opin
ions. and think no less of a man on
account of his honest convictions,
but they think he should fUl his place
as a representp.tative of the peo
ple when public sentiment is ascer
tained upon any question of public
policy, bqt when he undertakes to
mould public sentiment upon a pure-
• v local question as iuBarnweil county
f »r ii stance and indulges in vituper
ation aud ridicule of well-meaning
people in his district wh • choose to
exercise the same right of free speech
upon a great moral question, he steps
beyond the boundary line of his duties

- - I ca , e mildly indeed. .The “long-hair

■‘This confounded civil service re

exclaimed. “I don’t see why it is
that a lot of men can’t do their duty

them.”
“Did you order tlpat coal fcq-dqy?”
she asked irrelevantly, but YV'th a

“Did you on)er Jhafc coal, \ ^aid,”

“Don’t talk fq me, Topnoody, about

“What you want to devote your time

Walworth’s murder of his father cre

He was impelled to the deed by the
fact that his father front whom

the ground of cruel treatment persis

letters threatening Mrs. Walworth
and blackening her character. Frank

Fruits ami Vegetables tor North
ern Markets Among the. Small
Industries of the State.
October Report of Department of
Agriculture.
B■••sides tho truok farm* near Char
leston and the adjacent islands, there
are many other portions of our State
which, from proximity to railroads,
are well adapted to the raising of
fruits and vegetables for market, and
our people are turning their attention
to them. There are now so many fa-
cilitiis for transportation and for rapid
transit, such constant aud increasing
demands for these things, demands
which go on increasing beyond the
ratio of population, as what at first
are considered mere luxuries soon be
come necessities, that it may be con
sidered a permanent industry, which,
if judiciously managed, will always
be profitable and remunerating. As
paragus, melons, peaches, grapes, are
now shipped in iu(<ge quauities, and
prices are satisfactory. Cotton, how
ever, must remain as the money crop,
(at any rate foi a time,) for those por
tions too remote irom railroads and a )
market. But in cotton cultivation we
can scarcely hope to compete with the
more favored prairie lands and river
valleys of the Southwest. In course
of time we shall be driven from neces
sity to diversify our crops, and pay
more attention to the grasses and hay
.nuking and the raising of stock. All
experience, everywhere and all over
the world, indicate tliege qs the most
profitable and iqoat oalisfuctury of
agricultural pursuits.
Mv ohjqet. however, \q this commu
nication was rather to give a short
sketch of what Ipu) (teen done before
the war, and to show that this present
activity is a renewal of what was only
checked for a tin e.
It may not be generally known—as
a generation has grown tip since then
—that the “Aiken Vine Growing and
Horticultural Association,” establish
ed in 1858, existed here for many years,
in fact until the close of the war in
I860. The Association was quite ac-
ive during its existence; held weekly
meetings through the Spring and
Summer months, and had weekly ex
hibitions of flowers, fruits and vege
tables, which wore highly creditable
us showing the interest in fruit grow
mg, and the progress made. In the
Summer of 1860, at the invitation of
the Association, there was a Conven-
tioq pf fruit growers, composed of
delegates from all parts of our State,
tnd Rom Florida, Louisiana, Ala
bama, Georgia qnd North Carolina.
The proceedings <if this Convention
were published in pamphlet form, and
are interesting from the interchange
of views as to the prospect of develop
ing the cult ivathux of Southern fruit
for market, qiuf ^specially as to the
cultivation of th,g grape lor wine
making.
The “Aiken Vin^ Growing aud
Horticultural Association” continued
during the war ut hold Its weekly
meetingsaud exhibitions of fruits and
vegetables. One of the pleasant feat
ures of these meeting s and which gave
zest to its objects, was, at the oloso of
each meeting, to have an auction sale
of tbp products on exhibition for the
benefit of our soldiers in camp andju^.

the bidding was always spirited, r,nd

Fallacy.
Mayor Hillyer, of Atlanta telegraph
pd ns follows to the New York Voice,
under date of October 26, In regard to
the status of prohibition In the Geor
gia capital: ,
I wish to say that in the barrooin
days dnmkeuess was common and not
always noticed. The police were l»*s
attentive and many esoa|>ed arrest.
Now, if a man gets drunk or partly
drunk it attracts attention. The po-
Bee are active and vigilant, and ar
rests are nearly certain to follow any
indications of illicit sale. Tne figures
in the police office sb*.w that the ar
rests for disorder aud drunkenness
last Saturday and Sunday were 22;
the eorres|M>iiding day in 1885 such
arrests numbered 31, and iu 1884, 25.
Many of the cases occurring at present
are chargeable to the use m domestic
wine which is not piohihlled, ami
which is said is often “doctored.” Tho
figures in the express office show
that hardly one jug or demijohn is
shipped per one thousand inhabitants
and a|l exaggerated reports are to bo
condemned, * ■ '
The good idlects of prohibition hero
are apparent. Trade in all branches
■•xcept the whisky traffic is prospering
There is marked improvement in
the habits, tiie morals and the happi-i
ness ot the people. Increased pros
perity is admitted and rejoiced in,both
as to private and public affairs. Tho
attitude of the newspaiiers throughout
the Union isgre-itiv to be deprecated,
scores aud hundreds of facta prove the
efficacy of the law. Atlanta now h is
oeaceful streets and happy home*
with sober husbands, sons and hrot' §
ers, with plenty to eat and to weai,
where before were broken hearts, fear
>f domestic outrage ami sometimes
actual want, Tl\e great daily press
abroad says nothin.!* of the groat gom)
that has resulted, but if a hand truck
load of jugs is seen which is no great
matter to 69,0300 people, this must be
magnified into a 'Mug train” and the
whole press of the United States made
to notice it.
There is not one-tenth a* much in
toxicants drunk iu Atlanta now as
there was a year ngo, possibly much
less than ibat. Formerly the advo
cates of barrooms were numerous mid
powerful, now nobody advocates their'
restoration. Formerly the temper
ance issue was high license; now the
very most that the opponents to total
prohibition would contend for is high
license. The barroom nuisance has
gone out from Atlanta forever, and we
would like all the world to know It.
We are determined to give total pro
hibition a fair trial under the law, aud
are greatly strengthened and encour
aged with it so far. Our people are
already practically united iu the lie-
lief that the barroom will never
come back. I only wish that the out
side world’ could see the truth as we
have it demonstrated here. They would
thus escape the danger of being mis
led by the many exaggerated and pre
judiced rumors that are published iu
other Slates on the subject.

L^rds and vineyanls,from entorced j
neglect, caused by want of a market
am) {.lie loss of means to keep them
up, gradually died out. But the As
sociation lived long enough to prove
what could be done under better au
spices, and the reputation of “Aiken
peaches” in the New York and Char
leston markets was iu great measure
due to its influence.
An old memo.rqiqjum taken from
the journal qf tlyii Association may be
be of interest to exhibit what was
done, as Weil as tiie prospect of still
further development.
In 1838, soon after its formation, an
examiimting committee was app i it
ed to ascertain the extent of orch -rds
and vineyards in the vicinity. This
committee made personal inspection
by going round to every farm, seeing
the condition of the trees, and ascer
taining the qutqber. From this re
port t|{e fqljqv^iqg figures were taken:

This was in 1858. These figures re
ceived considerable addition iu the
course of tiie next few years.
This iqoustry has been renewed of
late years under better auspices with
improved facilities for reaching mar
ket. Thirty years ago our earliest
peaches ripened from middle of June
to 1st of July. Now, by using earlier
varieties introduced since that time,
the shipments begin by end of May.
At that time they were sent altogether
by steamer, and it was oti the fourth
day at enpljest ftom the orchard that
they could be placed in the New Y'ork
market. N° w » by railroad transit ami
-qiecSal accommodation to fruit grow
ers, they can reach market on the
-ceoml or third day.

here.” Mrs. Cleveland immediatuly
did so.
“Now,” said the President, “plea e
turn to the last chapter in book fourth,
and you will find this sentence:
Jasper Lascly sat secure, innocuous

sentence (the ficsf ami last part of
which is equally applicable to Rc-

the word innocuous struck me, uml
