The PrcMldeni’M Message.
The Pre^ideiit.’a message was deliv
ered to Congress on the 3d, and like
all his other messages is an able doc
ument. He calls attention to the
fact that with the expiration of the
present Congress, the first century of
our constitutional existence as a na
tion will be complete. This naturally
leads to a sketch of what the Govern
ment was intended to be, and what it
really is to-day. The people are re
minded that while liberty, equality
and the pursuit of happiness are guar
anteed by the government, it is
bound to deal with its citizens with
that scrupulous justice of which we
boast as the anderlying principle of
our institutions. Formerly in the ear
ly days of the Renublic the citizens’
tribute in the shape of taxes to the
support of the government, was meas
ured by the cost of its economical
maintenance.
The-systematic robbery of the many
by the few now known as protection
had not yet been introduced, and the
frugality of the people was stamped
on the government. Combinations,
monopolies and concentrations of
capital were either avoided, or sternly
regulated. Rut a century has passed,
and how different are the conditions.
The manufacturers extort from the
consumers fortunes scarcely dreamed
of by Croesus himself, under the pro
tection of a government that is claim
ed to be founded on equality. Under
the same iniquitous tarifT laws, by
which such results are produced, the
government permits millions more to
be added to the cost of the living of
the people. And to the extent that
the mass of the people are burdened
for the benefit of the few, the gov
eminent, under the pretext of exercis
ing its taxing power practically enters
into a copartnership with the few
manufacturers, to the injury of the
majority of the people. He demon
strates conclusively how these op
pressive tariff laws burden the farm
ers, and cause a steady increase in
their indebtedness without any in
crease in the value of their lands, or
of their products. Practically the
government now protects the rich
few’ and leaves the many poor to their
mercy. He yields not one jot in his
urgent recommendation for such a re
vision of the tariff laws as will restore
that equality that is so much our
boast. This tariff cause is one of
truth, and although time servers and
place hunters may think that it has
been crushed to earth for good; it has
risen again, and like Banquo’s ghost
it will not down.
As an evidence of the excessive tax
ation under which our people are suf
fering he states that the surplus reve
nue of the year was $119,012,110; all
the result of unnecessary and class
taxation.
In the matter of the silver coinage,
he states that under the compulsory
silver coinage act there had been
Coined tty tire noth of June 1833, nearly
$300,000,000 silver, and earnestly re
commended the suspension of the
further coinage of these dollars.
Regarding pensions he reports that
the number of persons now receiving
pensions is 4')2,o^7, and the total an
nual expense of the pension bureau is
$82,038,380; about one fourth of the
total annual expense of the entire
government. He urges a change in
the pension laws, so as to restrict pen
sions only to those really deserving
and prevent the impositions that are
constantly being practiced by the un
deserving, and expresses boldly his
conviction that uuless a change is
made, and the granting of pensions be
not divorced from partisan and other
unworthy considerations much injury
will result, ami the grossest imposi
tions practiced upon the government.
With regard to the pension business,
as with the tariff', lie speaks with no
uncertain sound.
In his message he treats clearly all
the subjects of general public interest,
and has evidently mastered them iu
ail their important details. Altogeth
er his message is just such an able
state paper as may have been expect
ed from him.
Time for Pacing Taxes Extended.
The Governor and Comptroller
General have notified the County
Treasurers that the time for the pay
ment of State and county taxes has
been extended until the 15th of Jan
uary. 18S9. It is understood that this
extension is granted with especial
reference to the recent township rail
road bond decision. It is thought
that the legislature at its present
session may devise some means w’bere-
bv the collection of the taxes in the
townships involved may either be
delayed or so arranged pending fur
ther proceedings at law as to protect
both the bondholders and taxpayers,
and to this end a bill lias been intro
duced into the Legislature, which is
intended to straiten out the town
ship railway bond decision of the
Supreme Court.
The Mississippi Agricultural College
The Augusta Exposition.
The people of Augusta have good
reason to be proud of their exposition;
and it is now as handsome a show as
has ever been exhibited in this coun
try. The attendance has steadily in
creased, and the buildings and
grounds are fairly crowded daily. It
w ill be a wise act on the part of the
management if they keep the expo
sition open for a few weeks longer at
least. The results to the city of Au
gusta are proving very gratifying.
The streets are well filled with visi
tors, and the hotels, stores, livery
stables, Ac., are doing a large and
paying business.
Salaries to Judges.
Messrs. D. K. Norris and J. E. Tin
dall, the committee appointed by the
State Fanners’ Association, to visit
and report upon the Mississippi Agri
cultural and Mechanical College, have
published their report.
The college is situated on a farm of
1762 acres, which is stated to have
been a tract of wornout laud. The
total cost of the land, buildings and
equipments was $136, 805. A portion
of the farm is devoted to experimen
tation and the remainder to the pro-
di/ction of beef, milk, butter, corn,
etc. There are on hand, in addition
to the beef cattle, about two hundred
and thirty head of cows and calves,
which serve as object lessons to the
boys. The feeding is done by the
students.
There are a President, sixteen Pro
fessors and two hundred and eighty
students; and the college is under
military government, with tactics
taught by a United States officer.
There are five classes, and agricul
ture is taught in all. Agricultural
labor is required of all the students.
The analysis of fertilizers for the State
is done in the college by the Professor
of chemistry and bis assistants.
The average attendance is three
hundred and fifteen, and over sixteen
hundred boys have attended since the
institution opened. The actual ex
pense of a student attending this col
lege is about $125, which is often re
duced by his earuings.
Of the whole number of students
who had attended the college 56 per
cent, are fanning or going 4o farm,
the committee state that from letters
they were permitted to see, and from
all the information they could gather
otherwise, they are satisfied that the
good influences of tins college had ex
tended over the State; and that the
public sentiment in Mississippi is now
largely in favor of the institution.
And they are convinced tiiat it will
eventually improve the agriculture of
the State.

The Birmingham Tragedy.
The Legislature lias passed the Bill
reducing the salaries of the circuit
Judges from $3500 per annum, which
is now paid, to $3000. We can not
but regard this action as parsimoni
ous and narrow minded, and such as
will be injurious to the interests of
our people. It will be impracticable
to get lawyers of the high attainments
and character that have been the
adornment of the Judiciary of Caroli
na, for the sum of $3000 per annum.
Cheap Judges will make very expen
sive law for our citizens.
Messrs. W. P. Clydo & Co. have put
on a new steamship, the “Iroquois”
between New York, Charleston and
Jacksonville. She is the first steel
ocean steamer ever built in this coun
try, and last week made her first trip
from New York to Charleston in 56
hours. The Iroquois is one of the
largest aud handsomest vessels in the
ocean service,and has accommodations
for 120 first-class passengers, besides
130 second class, and steerage.
For the first time since the war,
the 8tate Senate is composed of only
White members.
Last Tuesday the body of a little
girl was found in East lake, near Bir
mingham, Ala. The fact was estab-
lisiied that she had been murdered,
and Wednesday the body was identi
fied as that of May Hawes, daughter
of R. R. Haweg i a_railroad engineer
Circumstances pointed to the girl’s
father as her murderer. He was
married in Columbus, Miss., Wednes
day evening, though supno ed to have
a w’ife in Birmingham. On his arrival
in Birmingham witli his bride fie was
arrested, charged with the murder.
Then it was learned that he had never
been divorced from his first wife, and
that she had been missing since Sat
urday a week ago, as well as the
youngest child. Search for the wo
man’s body commenced at once, and
soon addition circurastxntial evidence
against Hawes was secured. Saturday
evening the body of the ex-wife was
found in the lake, weighted down with
iron. This caused intense excitement
throughout the city, aud that night
fifty or more officers were placed
around the jail, armed with Win
chester rifles, anticipating a possible
attempt to lynch Hawes. About 11
o’clock Saturday nigbt two or three
thousand men gathered in the vicinity
of the jail, making threats. They
were without organization or leaders,
aud after much parleying with the
mayor and others, who tried to get
them to go away, the crowds finally
reached the end ef a narrow alloy-way
leading to the jail door. Then the
officers warned them to stand back or
they would be fired upon. After re-
eated warnings they would not turn
ack, and Sheriff Smith ordered the
officers to Are. One volley was fired
and twenty-three men fell, killed or
wounded. The mob then hurriedly
dispersed, vowing vengeance. State
troops were ordered there at once and
ten companies have already arrived.
There has beou intense feeling all day,
but no outbreak of auy kind, and none
is feared. Tiie city at midnight was
very quiet.
On Sunday Col. Thomas C. Jones,
of the 2nd Regiment, Alabama Militia,
arrived with thirteen companies of
State tioops, and the jail is well guard
ed with picket lines extended for sev
eral squares in every direction. The
city authorities have practically step
ped down and out, and the military
are in charge of the town. Sheriff'
Smith and his deputies have been ar
rested under charges of murder, and
are now in jail. The excitement in
Birmingham is intense, and it is ex
pected that further attempts at mob
violence will be made, now against
the Sheriff' and his deputies.
The terrible tragedy in Birmingham
must be deplored by all good citizens,
but it seems that the Sheriff did only
his duty. He was in duty bound to
defend his prisoner, and was war
ranted iu using what force was made
noeessary. Mob law is always deplo
rable, and, unfortunately, is too com
mon in this country. But the cure
for this state of tilings is to be found
in the Court House. As long as citi
zens believe that justice will not be
done by the law, they will take the
law into their own hands.

grasses of May and June prodnee It to
perfection, but daring the gitrater
part of the year the butter irtaker
must color his butter artificially.
At the afternoon session Prot. Whit
ney addressed the Institute on the
subject of “Soil Exhaustion,” and
demonstrated the often unnecessary
application of commercial fertilizers
on laud. South Carolina, with the
exception of three States, uses more
commercial fertilizers annuallj* than
$733,720; a ny other State iu the Union. In
1 1887 she used 120,000 tons, coating
$3,000,000. He stated that the experi
ments carefully made for many yegrs
,»ast, clearly proved that the appli
cation of tlie-’e fertilizers was an un
profitable investment.
He was followed by Mr. Peterfciu,
who stated that lie had travelled
a great deal through the South-West
ern States, but had seen no farms any
where that excelled those around
Aiken, and he did not think that our
farmers reeded any instructions to
make cotton. Cotton will grow any
where; but in his opinion, he thought
that tiie best land for cotton was the
round leaf black Jack, a little rolling,
with some pebbles in it. Most of the
fanners of the South planted too many
acres that could not produce good
crops of cotton, and thus reduced the
average profit on the whole farm.
Poor land, undrained, cannot produce
cotton. Drainage is essential to
making good crops. He is not in
■' favor of deep plowing, at least his ex
perience has not been favorable to it.
Six inches he finds deep enough; and
the manure should be spread broad
cast on the surface and turned under
lightlv. He did not approve of put
ting fertilizers in the drills, as the
practice seemed to him contrary to
reason. The rows should be about
8*4 feet apart, and he threw’ up the
beds and then planted between them
in the water furrow. He found that
the cotton did better in-this way, as it
was more protected from the cold
winds and got more moisture. Ho
had never found any profit in double
applications of fertilizers; more bush

The Farnie’s’ Institute.
The Farmers’ Institute was called
to meet at 10 o’clock a. m., on Thurs
day morning, and promptly on timo
the four gentlemen, who were kini
enough to come to Aiken to address
the farmers, were in the courthouse.
But it w r as sometime before enough
persons were assembled to constitute
an audience
At about 11:30 the meeting was
called to order, and Capt. T. W.
Whatley was elected chairman. Ho
took the* chair and, explaining the
objects of the meeting, declared tho
Institute ready for business. Major
Harry Hammond had been expected
to be present, and preside, but was
detained by the illness of a member
of his family. It had been certainly
expected that the Beech Island Far
mers’ Club would have been well rep
resented in tiie Institute, but not one
member was present.
The first address was delivered by
Prof. Bolton, on “Farm Hygiene.”
He. -showed-
living in the country are not so liable
to illness from unhealthy surround
ings as those living iu the cities, yet
it too often hapnens that they violalo
all the laws of health, through igno
rance or carelessness. He showed
that the health of the farmer and his
family depends as much upon ex
ternal conditions as upon the climate
of the country iu which they live;
aud urged the importance of locating
the dwelling and outbuildings on tiie
highest portion of the farm, so that
the best drainage could be obtained.
And it was of more importance than
most farmers thought, that their
dwellings should be surrounded by
fine trees, which would give the shade
so grateful iu summer. He demon
strated tiie value and importance of
having the dwelling house constructed
in a warm manner, and of using such
means as would preserve its cltaiili-
uess and ample ventilation. He
dwelt upon the necessity of pure water
for drinking aud cooking, and gave
much valuable information as to the
character of clothing most conducive
to health in our climate.
He was followed by Mr. T. J. Moore,
ol Spartanburg county, who delivered
an address on the “Process of Butter
Making.” He called attention to the
inferior quality of the butter sold in
tiie South—such an article as would
not be saleable in auy Northern
market, and urged the necessity of
improvement iu tiie butter produced
here.
Tiie value of the butter oroduet of
the United States is double Unit of the
cotton crop. It is a staple article of
food in nearly every household. The
quality of butter depends largely upon
the cow’, her breed and her feed". The
best beef*cow is not the best for butter.
For the former we must look to the
Durham, aud for the latter, tiie Jersey
or Guernsey. The proper cow haviug
been selected, the next point must be
her feed: Sweet, rich pastures, free
from rank weeds, with a plentiful
supply of pure water, must he sought
after. Just as a cow’ is fed, so she
will yield in milk. Mary Anne, of
St. Lambert, a celebrated cow r , in 1884
gave one pound of butter to six
pounds 10 1 - oz. ol milk. This shows
about three times as rich milk as is
given by an ordinary cow. He men
tioned several formulas for daily
rations of a miloh cow; among
was produced, hut no more lint. He
used only acidulated rock and cotton
seed meal, and found these fertilizers
give the best results. He cultivated
his cotton first w-ith a harrow, as soon
as it began to crack the ground, aud
then subsequently used tiie bull
tongue plow and sweep. Cotton
ought to be chopped out and thinned
to a stand of one stalk in the hill as
early as possible, or it will become
long legged and fall over. He lias
tried the cheek system of planting,
but never found it as productive as
the drill. He usually applies 300 lbs.
of acidulated rock, uiul 150 lbs. of cot
ton seed meal to the acre, and always
broadcasts it over the land. He lays
by his crop about the second week iu
August, and cultivates it as level as
may be. In cotton cultivation he con
siders rotation of the utmost ini|K>r-
tance. Land wdll get “cotton sick” if
it is planted in the staple for more
than three years iu succession, and
will cease to yield profitable crops.
About one bale of 500 lbs. per acre is a
good crop and a profitable one; and it
is unwise in a farmer to strive to
mafte more, as the extra expense of
tiie effort is seldom returned to him in
the crop. In selecting seed, only tho
bolls from the bottom stalks should be
taken, and at the utmost only from a
very few stalks, as only iu this way
could one he sure that the seeds were
identical. He believed in early plant
ing, and usually commenced about
the last, of March, and by the middle
of July had the full crop of bolls on
the plants. He did not find any
benefit to result from topping cotton,
hut rather was satisfied that the plants
were injured and backeued, Hecon-
sidered that the value of good cotton
lands, that made a hale per acre, such
as those around Aiken, ought to be
about $100 per acre, as at this valua
tion a prudent farmer could realize 10
percent, per anuum on his invest
ment. * -

address, Mr. Alfred Holmes mo

addresses. Tills motion was carried
unuuimeusly.

be, but most of tiie representative fnr-
aiers of the neighborhood were pres

addresses with much interest.

one most suited to the circumstances
of our people: Eighteen pounds corn
fodder, eight pounds bran, four pounds
cotton seed meal, and four pounds
corn meal. To secure the best results
thecow should be comfortably stabled,
f ;roomed, and properly milked. Ciean-
iness is of the utmost importance.
In the matter of separating the cream
from the milk, experience has proved
that the best results are obtained
when the milk is set iu cold vessels;
Our youngsters were talking about
Christmas ' preparations, aud quite
naturally reached, at last, the impor
tant subject of candies.
“Of course we must have candies,”
said Kitty, with a sly* look at papa’s
face, as lie sat by the library table
reading. She knew he had his doubts
about the purity of candies sold at the
shops, and did not like very well to
buy them.
“Oh, I suppose so,” said he, with a
resigned air.
“Now, papa,” began Jenny, “you
know you said there are some honest
confectioners who never use anything
but the best sugar aud purest vegeta
ble coloring matter—”
“Very true; I dare say there are.”
“Well, then, can’t we have some?”
pleaded Kitty.
Before he could reply, mamrlia look
ed up from a baok she li&d been in
tently studying.
“Why not make your own candies,
Jenny?” she said.
Make them!” cried both of the girls
iu amazement.
“Yes. Here, iu Cathriue Owen's
“Culture and Cooking” are full direc
tions for making the finest French
candies; and I see nothing in them
too difficult for you to follow, with a
hint now and then from me.”
“Won’t that be just splendid!”
“I agree to that,” said papa, hearti
ly, “aud will furnish all the necessa
ries if you girls will do the work.”
And suit was settled; and the at
tempt was so successful that we will
tell the young yeaders how it was
done. If you have Miss Owen’s book
in the house, you will find the making
of candies described in chapter 13.
them ! For tiie benefit of those who have not,
French confectioners call it. With
this you can make a great variety of
candies by the addition of flavoring,
coloring matter, fruit, nuts, etc., of
which the following are samples:
Wax.nut Cream —Take a piece of
fondant, flavor with vanilla, and
work into it chopped English wuluula
as you would fruit into a cuke. When
mixed, make a paper case an inch
wide and deep, and three or four
inches long, oil it, p-ess the past**
over it, and when firm turn it out and
cut into cubes. Almonds may be used
instead of walnuts.
Cream Walnuts. —Make ready
about half n pound of English walnuts
in halves. Take fondant mane from
a pound of sugar, set it iu a bowl iu a
saucepan of boiling water, and stir it
till it is like cream. Flavor with
vanilla or lemon, drop in tiie
meats one by one, aud with tiie other
hand take them out on the end of a
fork, resting it on one edge of the
bowl for an instant to drain, then
drop the nut into a waxed or buttered
paper. If the meat shows through
the cream, the latter is too hot. Take

it till it is just thick enough to mask
the nut entirely, then return it to tiie
boiling water, as it cools very rapidly
and becomes unmanageable when it
has to be warmed over again. Al
monds. hazlenuts and other kinds
may be used iu the same way; but
thej must be dry.
Chocolate Creams.—Boil half a
pound of sugar with three tablespoon-
fuls of thick cream till it makes a
soft ball in water, then let it cool.
When cool, beat it till it is very white,
flavor with a few drops of vanilla,
and make it into halls the size of a
large pea. Then take some unsweat-
eued chocolate, warmed, mix it with
a piece of fondant melted—tliere
should be more chocolate than sugar
—and when smooth and thick enough
to mask the cream, drop them iu
from the end of a fork; take them out 1
and place on waxed paper.
Coloring Matter.—Pink coloring
which is perfectly harmless may be
made with one ounce of powdered
cochineal, one ounce of cream of tar
tar, two drachms of alum, and half a
pint of water. Boil the cochineal,
water and cream of tartar till reduced
to one-half, then add the alum, and
put up in small outlies tor use Yel

grated rind of a ripe orange into mus

through it. Balls, cones or any fancy
shape may be made of fondant by fla
voring a piece with vanilla or lemon
and coloiing yellow, or with raspber
ry, coloring pink, and forming it as
desired. Let them stand till they

Driest Climate in the United States,
Except points of great altitude in the Rocky Mountains.
ABSOLUTE SAFETY FROM YELLOW FEVER, from the follow

First—Relialte medical authority asserts that Yellow Fev« r could not
become epidemic iu this climate, even if brought here in mid-sum-tier.
Second—There Is no ease of Yellow Fever nearer to Aiken than Jack
sonville. Fla., and a rigid system of quarantine prevents its nearer approach.
Third—Even were all precautions abandoned immediately, the frosts
already experienced here render infection impossible.
For those who wish to go further Soutli, Aiken olFers a desirable stop

safe for them to continue their journey.
