The Greenville Newa, in commenting on the article of the Intel**gencer in -.reference to the contemplated Organiza? tion of the farmers of the State, quotes ; ? -abort paragraph from the article which does,not fully show the position of the - . Intelligencer, and then proceeds to ' comment upon the article as follows : Exactly. Ob, yes I Let the farmers meet if:they like j. but they must under? stand in advance that they must not talk -politics or think of united action to in? fluence legislation in their favor. All ? that business should be left, we suppose, . to the editors, lawyers, merchants, rail Inroad men, clerks and officeholders. The ^rshoemaker must stick to his last; the ; farmer must hold fast to his plow han .'dies, and_ keep his mind and eyes fixed ." 'on tb^m'and bis soil, meekly accepting r^whaV laws and officers other people may " be pleased to give him?or the farmer |.^toj'jndividually think politics and vote; , :vbut when be meets two or three or twenty or fifty other farmers their discussion of .politics as effecting themselves is treason, ,;: heresy! schism ana horrible conspiracy. lliat seems to be ANDERSON" LNTELEIr '; gender logic. The truth is the farming ? element of this State is its conservative ^ybiice and its democracy, and the pre? dominance of that element will be our t salvation and. permanent safety. Our farmers are bred in a school of close .-economy and hard common sense, and H those two things are more needed than -v-arjything ;else just now. The proposed united movement of farmers promises 5much good; and can do no possible harm ' .- to anybody. It is merely a closing up ani hardening of the foundation on ' which our political and commercial sys? tem rests, and which some people are \ trying to pry .it away from.; The News ? is not running. for anything, esteemed cotemporary. It has no legislative, con ^.gresslonal^ railroad or miscellaneous po \~ -fiticar aspirations. It can, for that rea \s^n, afford to say what it thinks. ThiNews knew when it published the ? foregoing article that it did not fairly ? .represent^ the sentiments of the Intel ;^laGESCBE;-.or it is unusually obtuse and \ -stupid; We took the position that the v' farmers ought to have organizations all ., over the State for the purpose of promo "triij^-xtbe -agricultural interests of the . State, and that the correction of existing laws, 5and -the procuring of such new laws as may prove from time to time necessary for the agricultural interests v of the State. We expressed the opinion that such organizations as these would incidentally advance the political influ ^enpe;;\-?f>'t&e.-farmers..of; the State, by T; showing who their most able and com ? petent leaders are, and bringing them to ~tbe. front. The Intelligencer also ^?defended the appointment of a committee irbm the State Grange to look after leg iBlation. Tie Greenville News cannot ^place the:lNTELLiGENCER in a position - of. antagonism to the farmers of the ;Y.^S(a(i?j\neither will we assume the unrea v'.(K>nable position of urging any single .'V class of the State to try to take posses : ?bri of the State government, for those ^Wboigive auch advice are not, in our ^?c^mon^ tbe real friend? of the farmers. . We do not want to see any class distinc .jtibns raised in this State. We want to ';t;;se#.-the?'.offices?? pf the government dis ^tnbut'ed: over the different parts of the State, and divided between the different ; avbcati6nB4u .which our people are eh &&Bfd-f W?.oae, other than a demagogue, would urge^ny class-to organize as.such to. control this State. It would not be ?; right, for any one-class to control the ? State, and any class^ which attempts it : ? wilf. only bring/dissster on itself and '''rdiscordj to the State. Now, we do not 'vPieaa to be misunderstood on this quea - tum.. We say .that a man is not entitled tp any jnore influence in pur government who is engaged in agriculture than an -v??ier man who'is engaged in mechanics. - Every-roan is free and equal before our laws, and it is an equality of men, not of /-'avowdipns. Now, in legislation we be ?*4ieve" that, the various interests in the VlStateshould be cared for in the propor - ttoo.to "their importance and their needs, ; and we do not hesitate to say that in this ^^^ttP^our agricultural interests are the most important, and should be more particularly cared for than it has been in some respects; but the agricultural in? terests caonot be built up by tearing down any other interest in the State, and v the men who would attempt to antago? nize one class against all other classes would, lead that class to certain disaster. The Greenville News, in its reply to ?? the Intelligencer,, has been pleased to conclude its article with an insinua? tion tbat the Intelligencer is not free "', to express its opinion on public matters. It ia an insinuation'nnworthy of the : Green vi He.jyjrutf, and unsustained by the article upon which it was commenting, for the position of the INTELLIGENCER was not the one which a demagogue would assume, and the: Greenville Netcs - knows it. The announcement of the ? News that it has no legislative, congress? ional, railroad or miscellaneous political aspirations, is creditable to its judgment, r We think if we bad run for the position of alderman of a. little city, and been ?beaten in onr own ward by our. own neighbors, it would extinguish any aspi rations which we might have. If a man . could hot carry his own ward, we think I he is prudent not to venture into County or State politics. ^y-TheNewberry Observer, replying to ?_: our article of two weeks ago relative to - the "New Deal' Craze" which has possessed some newspapers, says: Suppose we extend this argument to its legitimate conclude n: The present ? State officers have discharged their duties :>/aubful!y for two terms; they would do f. the saiT^ for the third, fourth, fifth and - sixth terms, and so on as long as they would live; therefore they should hold tbeir officefor life. Again: "The people [? of South Carolina are too * * * * just" to oust our public officers without cause; there is no "cause"; it would be "unjust5.' to them not to re-elect them; therefore they have a right to the offices t so long as they discharge their duties iailhfully. To such absurdities is one led -when: he ignores the fundamental ? principles of irue democracy. Those - ?: who are opposing the "New Deal" move? ment on the ground tbat a change of administration would be unjust to the preseut. State officers, are themselves doing these officers an injustice. ? A change would be in no sense a reflection \ npon the present incumbents, and wonld 'not imply that they had not done their dn.ty.^ But if they or tbeir friends take the position that they are entitled to a re-election because they have done their .duty, ther. when the change does corne? as it surely will?some may conclude that they did not do their duty, and were ? therefore, turned out. We do not know ^ that the present State officers want a Hhlrd term. The Observer is njfetaken if it supposes . ' that tho Intelligencer is opposing a new deal. We are not advocating a new deal, because we do not believe in tl e principle that one public officer is to be turned out simply beeause tbe people want to make a change in another public officer. If the people want to change every officer in the State, from Governor to Trial Justice, they have the right aud the power to do so; but the fact that they might waut to change a Comptroller General is no reason why they should change a Treasurer also, or that they might waut to change a Governor that they must change the Secretary of State also. Our position is that every candi? date should stand ou his owu merits, without gaining any strength from those around him, and without being weakened by those around him. When the matter is thus determined by merit, it makes no difference whether all the officers are re nominated or all of them are changed, or some of them re-nominated and some of them changed. All that we care for is to see changes that may be made brought about by intelligent reason and not blind prejudice. The right of the people to rule is not inconsistent with the exercise of reason by the people. .The Supreme Court of the United States has reudercd a decision reversing Judge Bond on* the Blue Ridge Script cases, and, sustaining the appeal of the State. This saves the tax payers of South Carolina $1,800,000 in money, and settles the principles laid down in the decree of Judge Bond, which would, have entailed untold mischief upon the OUR WASHINGTON LETTRR. Washington, D. C, Feb. 27,188G. Ma. Editor: There has just been finished at the Navy Yard here an eight inch steel rifle which is the first that this Government has ever made, and is the second steel rifle of any kind ever built in the United States. When the ques? tion of providing the' new cruisers with steel rifles was discussed in Congress, it was contended by the opponents of the bill that they could not b6 made by tbe. Government. The Ordnance Depart? ment claimed that they could be, and so were given an opportunity to prove its assertion. The one just completed will be tested shortly at the experimental battery, at Aunapolis, and if the results are what are expected, Congress will make a big appropriation for their mak? ing, and then 1,000 men will be employed at the yard instead of only 325 as at present From close estimates made, it is found that the Government can do the work for less than 50 per cent, of what is paid to contractors. The Grand Army men are very much exercised over the panorama of tbe second battle of Bull Run, now being ex? hibited in this city. It is claimed that the picture is not a fair representation of the battle, and that it shows the Confed? erates triumphing over the Union forces. Senator Wilson, on Thursday, presented [ in the Senate a copy of a series of reso? lutions adopted by Lincoln Post, G. A. R., of Council Bluffs, Iowa, calling upon Congress to adopt legislation '-prohibit? ing the exhibition at the National Capi? tal." The protnotors of the enterprise have erected an immense brick structure costing more than $10,000 in which to exhibit the principal battles of the late war, and expect to reap a rich harvest out of their investment. It is believed that the boycott by tbe G. A. R. will increase the attendance rather than injure the en? terprise as everybody will want to see it for themselves. A lot of free advertising -will be the result of the hue .and cry against the exhibition. Congress has not discussed nor dis? posed of any matter of public interest this week, hut the committees have been . bard at work' on the appropriation bills. The coming week, however, we are promised some animated debates. In the Senate the Republican caucus rr 'n : tions on official papers will come u 4 which time the Democrats will present resolutions expressive of their views and then a heated discussion will follow. In the'House the silver bill will be consid? ered and will probably consume the whole week and a portion of the next, as ten days have been set aside for its dis? cussion and some sixty members have signified their desire to be heard. Some time ago the Lee monument association, organized to erect a statue at Richmond, Va., in memory of Gen. Robt. E. L<-e, invited all artists and sculptors who desired.to compete, to fur nish -plans and models for a monument, the choice to be determined by a com? mittee. Fifteen responded, and for the past few days their designs have been on 'exhibition iu Washington. Many of them show great artistic excellence, and the. collection makes a very attractive display. In order that the award might be impartial and based solely on merit, none of the names were attached to the models. The committee awarded tbe 1st. prize to Chas. H. Niebaus, of Cincin? nati, who was the sculptor of the statue of Ex President Garfield. His design is an equestrian statue standing on a pedes? tal supported by four female figures rep? resenting Peace, Justice, Religion and .Patriotism- The necessary fuuds for the work have nearly all been raised and the contract will be made at an early date. The friction between tbe Second Comp? troller of tbe Treasury and Gen. Hazen has resulted in cutting off the weather telegrams from a large number of towns and States which have -heretofore re? ceived them. The trouble is about tbe appropriation for that specific purpose. The people will have to do their own guessing or fall back on the groundhog until amicable relations are restored be? tween the signal Service and the Treas? ury Department. If Job had lived to piosecute a claim against the U. S. Government, be would have been in great danger of spoiling his proverbial record for patience. Another illustration has just been given of the many years of working and wait? ing that are often necessary to get Uncle Sam to pay bis bills. In 1863 Jos. W. Parish had a contract to furnish ice along the Mississippi River for hospital and ! other uses. He procured the ice but the Government officers refused to receive it. I In consequence Parish fouud himself in mid-summer with 17,000 tons of ice on ! hand, the mercury at 100 iu the shade most cf the time. Mr. Parish's ice gradually melted away, dissolving also all the money he had put into it. He figured up and found that the Govern? ment owed him $58,341. Congress has at last allowed the claim and has passed the necessary bill. Mr. Parish has beon living iu Washington for the past 12 years, devoting himself to pushing his claim. H. ? ? Not b member of the Grant family attended the funeral of Hancock, and it is not known that the Grants sent any message of condolence to Mrs. Hancock. | Short Shrift and Long Rope. Spartaxburg, March 1st. Last Friday a Mrs. Lancaster, the wife of a respectable white farmer living near West Spring.", this County, was brutally assaulted. She was in a delicate condition at the time, and it is reported here to day that she has died from her injuries. On Sunday Obediah Thompson, a black negro, was arrested near Campton. He confessed that be had assaulted Mrs. Lancaster and was brought here aud lodged in jail. At 5 o'clock this after? noon between 300 and 500 men rede into town, surrounded the jail and took Thompson out, little resistance being offered. A large crowd gathered and the business was conducted 'as quietly and openly as if it was a legal execution. Thompson was carried to a point in the suburbs and hanged. Everybody expected the lynching and there was and is no excitement. But the feeling against Thompson hin been intenso since his confession and it is uot likely that any human power could have foiled the cool and determined men who resolved that he should die.?Dispatch to Greenville News. An Appeal to Cotton Planters. Memphis, Texx., February 26.?The Inter-State .Agricultural Convention, which has been in session at Jackson, Tenn., since Wednesday, adjourned this evening. The following resolution was adopted, with an amendment to include breadstuifs and hog products as well as cotton: The manipulation by speculators of tbe cotton crop of i835-86, which so depressed prices that they have fallen below the actual cost of production, forces upon the planters of the South the necessity of relieving themsplves, as far as in their power lies, from the influ? ence of so ruinous a system as that which now controls the chief exportable pro duct of tbe country, and with this end in view the representatives of the agri? cultural interests of Tennessee, in con? vention assembled, call upou our brother planters of all the Southern States to protect themselves by .united action. Emboldened by past successes, the spec? ulator has fixed the standard price for the cotton crop of 1886-87. This, he has done before the seed has been put in the ground, or even the ploughs have been started. Cotton futures for the months of October, November and De? cember, 1886, and January, 1887,.are to? day quoted in New York at from 8.70 to 8 75, according to months. This means not exceeding 8J cents for middling cotton in New York, or 8\ cents at the principal shipping ports of the South, including such cities a3 New Orleaus, Charleston, Savannah, Augusta, Mobile, Oalveatonand Memphis. Middling cotton at these cities selling for 8} cents means not more than 7} cents to tbe planter, who must pay freight, insurance and regular commission charges, which gen? erally average from J to 1 cenc per pound. Now, iu view of these conditions, so ruinous to our interests, we appeal to the intelligence of the cotton-grower, and ask him can he pay the expense of farming and make even a bare living by selling cotton at 7& cents per pound? The answer is already given in the nega tive. The next question following upou this is: What is tbe remedy? We answer : Diversified crops; plant one-' third less cotton and more grain and grasses, raise hogs and hominy, let cotton be the surplus crop instead of producing six and a half million bales make only four and n half million bales. By this means we may realize a large price' for our labor, and at the same time live independently of speculating sharks who profit by our losses. In addition to this, the Legislatures of each of the Southern States should be petitioned to make deal? ings for future delivery, unless cotton is actually on hand to sell aud is actually de? livered to the contracting purchaser, a fel? ony punishable by fine and imprisonment, not less than one thousaud dollars and two years in tbe penitentiary. The time is now propitious for united action, and we appeal to the press of the South to aid us in our efforts by giving every publicity to this protest, an appeal which we feel cannot but result beneficially if prompt in action and lived up to honest? ly. _n Chemists aud Fertilizers. The following letter of Professor C. U. Shepard in answer to inquiries addressed to bim by a gentleman largely interested In fertilizers, throws much light on the subject of tbe chemical analysis of fer? tilizers now attracting so much attention : Laboratory fob Analytcal Cuesiistby, 08 Meeting Stkeet, Ciiahlkston, S. C. February 2g. Dear Sir: To your questions of this date I would reply as follows: First. "Is it in human power to mix fertilizers either by hand or by machinery, using either the 'wet or dry' process, and produce goods that will be uniform in composition as to every ounce, or such quantities as are taken for tbe actual analytical operations 1" I answer, "No." Second. "Is it possible for the most skillful chemist living to obtain the same percentages throughout from one, two or a dozen analyses of samples drawn even from a single ton of the average commer? cial fertilizers?" I answer, "No." Third. "Is it hot fair, just and honest to offset a deficiency in one constituent by the excess in others, provided such deficiency is reasonable in the nature of things and not beyond the range of vari? ation embraced in the preceding ques? tions, (i.e., due allowance being made for the inaccuracies of manufacture, sampling and analysis,) and the average quality of the fertilizer is-up to the man? ufacturer's guarantee?" ^ I answer, "Yes." Fourth. "Does not the fact that where the deficiency is slight and the commer? cial value of the fertilizer is greater than tbe guarantee prove that tbe manufactu? rer has given a more valuable article than he guaranteed ?" I answer, "Yes." Fifth. "Under the conditions given in question fourth, and in view of the ac? knowledged deficiences of manufacture, sampling and analysis, is there any proof of a desire on the par; of the manufac? turer to furnish an inferior article, or any proof that any considerable quantity of the article corresponded exactly with the results of the single analysis?" I answer, "No." Sixth. "Do you not think the interest of both manufacturer and farmer requires that the different States adopt uniform laws relative to branding, analys.-s and the sale of fertilizers? For at present fertilizers branded in conformity with the South Carolina law, if shipped into Georgia, have been by some of the Coun? ty judges decided to be in violation of the Georgia law precluding recovery for value at law on the part of the vendor, and the same as to Alabama, each State requiring a different style of branding." I answer, "Yes." To these questions and answers would I add a few remarks of my own. It seems to me that the great difficulty at present lies in the insufficiency of funds allowed in these South Atlantic States to their official chemical laboratories. Would they only grant more money for labor and supplies, tben the number of official analyses might be very greatly multiplied, not only to the enhanced protection of the farmer, but also to the safety of the manufacturer. Iu that case the publication of a number of analyses of the same fertilizer might show that the deficiency of a single constituent below the guarantee was the result of the causes to which your ques? tions point. As matters now stand, with no help allowed him, our State chemist is faith? fully endeavoring to accomplish as much as he can as to the number of his analy? ses, and certainly there is no question as to their accuracy, so far as each sample is concerned. Yours, very truly and respectfully, Charles U. Sijepar?, Jr. ? Mr. Hamilton Disston, of Philadel? phia, is said to be the most heavily in? sured man in America, having policies aggregating ?475,000 on his life. The War is Over at Last. Within a short lime past several Fed? eral soldiers who are on the pension rolta halve deliberately arranged to transfer the money they receive to indigent and disabled survivors of the Lost Cause. Gen. S. Boiling, of Petersburg, Va., a prominent ex Confederate officer, gives the following history of the matter : "Some time in December last it came to my knowledge that a gallant and patriotic ex-Union officer, living at Wa tertown, N. Y., desired that the pension which had just been grauted him should be bestowed upon some Ex Confederate whose wounds made it impossible for him to undergo the hardships and labor of a well man. I suggested W. G. McLaughlin, of Lunenburg County, as a person who met the requirements, and the pension of the Union veteran is now being paid to the shattered aed bullet rent Ex-Conlei' ite. I wish I might give the name of the gallant soldier and thoughtful and sympathetic gentle? man who has d.iiie this, for publication, but with that true modesty which would not be praised by the world for so kindly an act to his fellow man, he desire* that it shall not be published. The- matter did not stop here. Some of his comrades learned what had been done. Five of them drew pensions for wounds received in action. They are beyond the need of personal aid, and have written Geu. Boil? ing requesting Lhat he furnish five addi? tional names of wounded soldiers of tho army of Northern Virginia, to whom they ivisu to transfer their pensions."? Washington Dispatch to the St. Louis Re? publican. ? The adoption by the State Temper? ance Convention on Wednesday night of a resolution declaring that the Prohi? bitionists will vote for no legislative can? didate who does not unequivocally an? nounce his willingness to vote for the submission to the people of the pending prohibitory resolution has created a sen? sation in political circles in Kentucky. This resolution provides that "no person shall manufacture for sale, or sell, or keep for sale as a beverage, any intoxi? cating liquors whatever, including ale, wine and beer;" and that the General Assembly shall by law "prescribe regu? lations for the enforcement of the prohi? bition herein contained, and shall pro? vide the penalties for the violation of the provision thereof." Leading Pro? hibitionists claim that, as they favor neither the Democratic nor Republican party and oppose the formation of a third or temperanc.". party, they will re? tain the balance of power. As to the question whether either party will favor or oppose the submission of the amend? ment to the popular vote, some think that both parties will favor its submis? sion. ? The Chinese Goverumeut is becom? ing much interested in railroad building. The officials, after a careful examination of the different systems of Europe, have decided that the American system will suit them better than any other. A model short line, after the American style, has been built for the inspection of the Emperor. It is not improbable that the Government will soon be en? gaged in the building of an extensive system of railroads. ? In a divorce case the other day at Chicago a lawyer argued that if a womau )n being married misrepresented her age to her husband she was just as as liable as a man selling a horse and representing it to be of a certain age when it could be proven that it was older. ? When a fair maid was wed by Col. Gough, of the Hussars, in London the other day, his deep-voiced, hearty "I will," made the bride jump so noticeably that everybody smiled.
