Governor Tillman’s prompt repudi ation of the claims made by the Charleston lawyers, represent}in; the so called direct tax -Commission, for services that were not rendered, and had been engaged actually by only a portion of the tax payers, will meet with general approbation. Where the tax payers, or their heirs, had made agreement with Messrs. Camp bell, Trescott, or Earle, by which these gentlemen were to receive as remuneration, a portion of the taxes, if they recovered them, in equity they were entitled to their fees. This is a matter that lies between these lawyers and each individual tax-payer. Rut where no such agree ment was entered into by taxpayers these lawyers or their representatives have no right to claim any fees from them. It appears in this last case the law yers base their claims on a contract alleged to have been made by the Rtate, whereby they were to receive a third of the fund if it was recovered. On this point, however, it seems to us that these taxes—if due back by the United States— were the property of private citizens, and the State had no authority to legislate any of the fund away, without the consent of it’s owners. Again, as will be seen, the Act of Congress under which the money has been refunded, expressly forbids any of it to be paid out as fees to lawyers or claim agents, and makes the accep tance of this condition obligatory on the part of the State before the fund should be paid over. The amount involved is considerable (|221,000 principal, and $19 000 interest —about $240,000,) and we sincerely trust that if the matter is forced into the Courts. Governor Tillman’s bauds will he upheld, and the money be allowed to pass to where it in jus tice belongs, aud where in was in tended to go. A Contrast—Hampton ami lr!>y. m loud in tal Senator Irby arrived in Columbia on Sunday afternoon direct from Washington. A Charlotte dispatch to the Atlanta Journal makes the fol lowing statement, which is consider- atdy at variance with the claim of Sq^klor Irby that he represents the )emocracy: iu on the same itorwus very r South Carolina politics, and vj^^Kher jubilant o\er the fact that a r^rhot time is pending there, and he says Tillman can defeat any thirty men in the State, and he proposes that the Governor shall meet Sheppard in joint discussion, if it brings on riots and war. He said all sorts of rascally things had been charged up against Tillman, and that now when the Governor proposes to meet his enemies and defamers on the stump, they ai'e yelling ‘Peace.’ But t'oere would be no peace until Tillman was again inaugurated Gov ernor of tin Palmetto State.” About two years ago, when the Hon. Wade Hampton, during the re- eess of Congress and in bis vacation, came home by invitation and spoke to us, taking no sides, butouly urging peace and unity for our State, ha was charged with ‘‘interfering in our fam ily quarrel.” Now Iiby leaves his seal in Congress, deserts the work he is paid to do, and of his own accord comes home, truly to interfere,—not in the interest of the peace and unity of the people, but to uphold the cause of one man, and avowedly to force joint discussions, eveu if they lead to riot. The contrast is only what would be expected. These views of Senator Irby, to gether with the fact that there will be a political meeting in Laureus on next Monday, at which Senator Irby will speak in behalf of the Tillmanite faction of the Democratic party, de serve the attention of thinking people. On next Monday, the 2d proximo, the county conventions in all parts of the State of South Carolina will con vene to elect delegates to a con\en- tion which will convene in Columbia May 18, for the purpose of electing delegates to the National Democratic convention. The complexion of the convention of the 18th as to Tillman or Sheppard will be no consequence, and will give no indication of the di vision of the votes; as notoriously oyer most of the State those opposed to Tillman took but little interest iu this convention, reserving their strength for the primary later on. Governor Tillman .‘ays: ‘‘I did not pay n ine (my taxes) because I knew what was coming, aud besides, the State owed me then some $500.” In other words. wh.Ie he did not pay his own taxes because he knew that the time would be extended, he scared the farmers of the State into paying theirs. Moreover lie refrained from helping out the State with his own taxes, although he was so fully sup plied with money that he had no oc casion to draw the $500 due him for salary. The Columbia Register had stated that Governor Sheppard used his po sition in the Edgefield Bank in lend ing money to infiueuce votes. At Edgefield Governor Sheppard proved the falsity of the assertion by Tillman men in the audience, and denounced the charge of the Register as the slander of a viper and a liar. Let Us Have the Truth. We enter our protest against the evident untruthfulness of some of the press reports of the political meet ings. In reference to the meeting at Edgefield, the Stale and the News and Courier reported the audience to have been nearly equally divided be tween the candidates for Governor, and these reports are confirmed to us personally by parties who were pres ent. The Augusta Chronicle reported that the factions seemed to be more evenly divided than two years ago, but “Tillmau seemed to have the pull”: on the other baud the Augusta Evening Herald reported the ciowd as twenty for Tillman to one for Sheppard; and the Columbia Register did not allow Shepard even this one, but claimed “an almost unanimous Tillman Assembly.” There is evidently some outrageous falsifyiug being done to aid Tillman's cause, but it will avail nothing, ex cept to bring the newspapers that in dulge in it into merited contempt. Governor Tillman said at Edgefield that he employed Judge Melton iu the Agricultural Hall case because he "preferred a Republican to a Haskel- ite.” It is now stated that Judge Melton voted the Haskell ticket in November, 1890, saying that while lie was a Republican in National politics, some of Governor Tillman’s political ideas were too extreme to suit him, and that he would uot vote for Till man because be wanted a good Htate Government, and be did not believe Tillman would give one. It is also stated that Governor Tillman knew these facts when he selected Judge Mellon as assistant counsel for the State. What has the organ to say about this? The Direct T«x Matter. A legal intervention to the dis bursement of the direct tax refund was filed on Saturday in Charleston with Master Miles by the attorneys representing the commission entrust ed with the recovery of the fund many years ago. The following is a copy of this notice of appearance and lien: The State of South Carolina,) Charleston County. ) To the Hon Charles Richardson Miles, Master, designated by his Excel lency, the Governor, to receive peti tions in the matter of the direct tax under Act of the State of South Carolina, approved December 24, 1891- Please take notice that we appear tor the estate of the late Hon James B. Campbell, the Hon. William Hen ry Trescott and Mr. Wm. E. Earle, who have an interest for services ren dered in the matter of the direct tux under a contract with and assign ment by , and request that ou hearing of the petition herein w be notified of the same. Signed: A. G. Magratb^^eCrady, Sons & Bacoi^Mitcbelf^rsrnith. This effectually balks the disburse ment of the fund and is the probable begin ping of a great legal war be tween the direct tax commission and the claimants. The lawyers named, representing what is called the old tax commission, claim one-third of the entire fund, or about $80,000. as their ren^uDeration, basing their claim on certain Acts passed at different times by the Legis lature of the State authorizing the commission to collect the fund from the United States Government. But it is now stated that Governor Tillman has refused utterly to recog nize any of the claims of Messrs. Trescott, Earle and Campbell for pay ment of commissions in the direct tax matter. The nature of their claims is well known to the public. Governor Tillman will only recognize claims of attorneys given by claim ants since the passage of the Federal Act authorizing the payment of the money. He will pay no attention to the Campbell, Earle and Trescott claims, and will refuse payment of any commission to them based ou old contracts. The Htate, he said, has ac cepted the money under an Act of Congress, and I expect to carry out the law as I find it. The Act distinctly says, and pro vides further, that no part of the money hereby appropriated shall be paid out by the Governor of aii3’ Htate or Territory, or any other person to any attorney or agent under any con tract for services now existing or heretofore made between the repre sentatives of any Htate or Territory and any attorney or agent. Then the Act of the Legislature in accepting the money and providing for its distribution, carrying out the intention of the Federal law, makes this limitation. Hection 8 reads: When any claim shall have been filed and adjusted, as herein provided for, and the said judgment and statement shall have been certified to the Gov ernor of the State, he shall issue his order upou the Comptroller General, directing him to draw his warrant upon the Htate Treasurer for the amount adjudicated to such claimaut, or his or her legal representatives, less the pei cent, to defray the ex penses of the distribution of said fund in accordance with the provi sions of this Act. Provided, That any payment which may be made with the sanction and by the Direc tion of the Governor in acknowledg ment of any written order or request of any such claiinauts, or bis or their legal representatives duly authenti cated, to any person or persons named in such written orders or request, shall be deemed a payment to such claimants or their legal representa tives within the meaning of this sec tion. Governor Tillman says that the lawyers now claiming fees are not entitled to tile large money asked. The money was voted by Congress, aud not through the influence of these lawyers, but simply because the North was to get a larger slice than the South. I certainly do not propose to let the lawyers block the payment, and under the authority given me will not recognize any of these old contracts. Mr. Wiliam B. Astor of New York died of heart failure Tuesday night at the Holel Liverpool in Paris. He was the father of Mrs J. Coleman Drayton, who figures so prominently iu tlie Drayton-Borrowe scaudal, and it is believed that the scandal which involves Mrs. Drayton hastened his death, as he had been greatly worried over the affair. Mr. Astor was one of the wealthiest men of New York, re- { )uted to be wortli sixty million dol- ars. The Prohibitionists Organizing Their Forces for an Active Campaign. Greenville News, 2Gth inst. " An official call will soon be issued for a prohibition convention in this State; in fact petitions are now being circulated iu the State. Copies of it are iu circulation in this city and are being signed. It is understood when the petitions are signed they will be published, serving as a call to the pro hibitionists to meet. The following is a copy of the call: ‘‘Whereas, the traffic in intoxica ting beverage is one of the most pro lific causes of degradation and ruin to the individual, poverty and wretched ness to the home, disorder, pauperism and crime to the commonwealth aud an enormous financial drain upon our already impoverished people; and ‘‘Whereas, the agitation of last winter in the general assembly has K laced the issue squarely before the emocratic party in South Carolina ‘‘Therefore, we, the undersigned, at the urgent solicitation of a large num ber of the people, iuvite all Demo cratic voters favoring the prohibition of the liquor traffic to meet in Colum bia, Thursday, May 26th, at 12 o'clock m., there to form and adopt the best plau for presenting the question to the people in the coming election, through the regular demociatic or ganization.” The convention, it is understood, will consider way and means to bring the prohibition question prominently before the people Colonel Demaree, the well known temperance orator, who is in the city, said yesterday to a News reporter, that he finds the prohibitionists eager to have something done for their cause and lie prophesh s that the gath ering in Columbia will be oue of tbe largest ever seen In the State. Poll Tax Delinquents. Treasurer Walter of Charleston, has prepared a form of afficavit and war rant against delinquent poll taxpay ers, which has met with the approval of the Comptroller General, and will be used in other counties. It reads: “Whereas, complaint upon oath has been made unto me by in the county and State aforesaid between the 25th of October and the 20th of Febiuary one was guilty of a mis demeanor by failing to pay a poll tax for which be was liable, in violath n of Section 6 of the Acts of the Gene ral Assembly of South Carolina en titled ‘An Act to raise supplies and make au appropriation for the fiscal year commencing November 1,189—.’ These are therefore to command you to apprehend the said defendant and bring him before me to be dealt with according to law.” The delinquents are to be dealt with ou the charge of misdemeanor.

CULTURE OF BEANS. The Requirements for Their Successful Growth, with Hints for Harvesting. Beans require a strong soil for their successful production; according to an alysis they are even more exhausting than wheat, and a uniform calcareous loam is one of the best, although a good sandy or gravelly loam does well. After all, mellow cultivation is one of the most important requisites. An inverted sod, made mellow commonly answers a good purpose. The crop should be planted when the soil becomes warm, some days after com planting, late varieties to be planted first and early ones afterward. The pea varieties require half a bushel to the acre; medium, three-fourths, and the marrows a bushel. These are the kinds most planted. The rows are planted about thirty inches apart with a one horse planter, which puts in two rows at a time. If the surface of the soil before planting is made smooth and level with a smoothing harrow, and afterward rolled, the planter will put the seed in at a uniform depth and in straight rows. Cultivation begins ten days after plant ing, the implement cutting the weeds without throwing the earth against the plants. It should be repeated about once a week till the blossoms make their first appearance, working close to the rows and picking out all weeds. If neglected, the crop is partly ruined. Never work them when the ground is wet. Com mence harvesting as soon as the pods and leaves begin to turn yellow. The different harvesting machines cut the stalks an inch or two below the surface of the ground, by means of a sharp steel blade drawn diagonally. When pretty dry they are placed in piles with four rows of bunches to allow the team to pass. These bunches are only large enough for one forkful each, with the common barley fork. Country Gentle man, authority for the foregoing, says that a horse fork is good for unloading. The bunches are usually turned over to dry the bottoms, in doing which the two are brought nearer together, to make space for the team to pass. The thrash ing machine should run at low speed and have round teeth to prevent injury to the beans. “Much of the profit of bean culture,” remarks a successful cultiva tor, “depends on the skill in fitting them for the eastern market.” Wblch Way Should Htves Face? It is the general belief, or at least the common practice, to have the entrance toward the south. While conceding that there may be some reasons for this practice, Eugene Secor thinks any other point as good if not better. He says in Farmer and Breeder; “A southern en trance is more likely to entice the bees out in the spring, or late in the fall, when the weather is too cool for bees to fly and when it would be better that they remain in the hive. In the heat of summer, too, a southern entrance is most undesirable. It is more difficult to shade that side when accommodation for flying bees is needed. “An eastern entrance is quite objec tionable. It is the point toward the morning sun, and perhaps bees may see the light a little earlier in the morning during the honey season. “I have used a north front with a good deal of satisfaction. It is cool in sum mer. The hive is easily shaded. In unc the north side HY the'hive. The en trance can be entirely closed on cool days in the spring if the north wind blows. I prefer a north entrance to a south.” Ensilage iu Stacks. The Scotch or English practice of stacking hay and then subjecting it to pressure by weights or by windlasses, drawing together chains or ropes attach ed to cross timbers under and over plank floorings, seems to be successful there, but is not adapted to this country with its variable climate and extremes of temperature. Experiments made in New York state and Massachusetts, accord ing to The Country Gentleman, showed much loss in spoiled ensilage—in one case nearly two-thirds of the stock; and this wastage, even if much less, will doubtless offset the cost of a good silo. Covered Daruyarils. Much is being said in western journals about the advantages of covered barn yards. Maine farmers have long been providing themselves with practically the same device for the shelter of their manures in the bam cellars now con structed under nearly every modern bam. Among progressive fanners it is now a rare thing to see the bam ma nures exposed to leaching till they are applied to the fields. In this they seem to be away ahead of some sections of the country.—Maine Farmer. Poultry Points. Oats sown as soon as the ground can be worked afford early pasture. Use seed liberally. The hens work for a dust bath every bright day they get out. One ought to be fixed under cover for them. Whatever diet the fowls receive, keep them dry. Who ever saw a flock full of song and eggs on a wet, sticky floor? Lettuce is one of the best early greens for supplying shut-in flocks. A small bed in thS garden will yield a large amount. Dost sitting hens with pyrethram powder twice or three times before the eggs hatch and there will be no lice on the chicks. “The eggs broke in the nest” is a bad record for choice sittings. Be sure the breeding pens have enough lime-con taining food to inclose their products in good, hard cases. The feed makes the egg. Ground oats and com, equal parts, their weight of bran, and the mass moistened with skim- milk make a solid diet for the produc tion of eggs of high quality. Beets may be safely sown early. A dozen rows in the garden will keep the yarded flock supplied with green food all summer, and perhaps furnish a juicy meal for the cows once or twice besides. No vegetable equals the sugar beet for fowls. Begin to thii them early.—Phil adelphia Farm Journal. Governor Tillman has designated Speaker Ira B.
