The-Farmer'? Convention in advocat?
ing the calling of a Constitutional Con?
vention for this State did a most wise and
opportune act. The present Constitution
jj^ea us a cumbrous and expensive form
fern me-bt which cannot be remedied
lendnieint, for such a mode of change
tedious, uncertain and calculated to
>roduce unnecessary divisions among our
people. The organic law under which
we live would suit very well for a densely
populated State like Massachusetts or
New York; but it provides a number of
unnecessary offices, and is in other
respects contrary to the genius of our
people. We ought to have a Constitu?
tional Convention.
The announcement that Gen. Gordon
will be a candidate for the Governorship
of Georgia, is producing a widespread
consternation in that and' surrounding
States among the friends of other candi?
dates, particularly among the friends of
Maj. Bacon, who were confident of his
nomination before Gordon's announce?
ment. They are abusing Gordon most
-~ roundly, and whistling loudly to keep
their courage up as they go through the
political woods to the Convention. It
will, in our judgment, avail them nothing,
for we are satisfied that Gordon will be
the next Governor of Georgia. He has
been too true and faithful to his State for
his defeat to be accomplished by the
abase which the friends of other candi?
dates may try to heap upon him. Maj.
Bacon is a standing candidate for the*|
Governorship and has been so for the
past six or eight years, if we remember
correctly. His friends are in no position
to abnse other men for becoming candi?
dates. _ 1 , ,
The Farmers' Convention, in pur opin?
ion, failed to discuss two of the .greatest
impediments to agricultural prosperity in
this country. One.of these is the uncer?
tainty of the performance of agricultural
contracts and the., inefficiency of labor.
There are too many agricultural labor?
ers who expect to draw a full day's pay
for three-fourths of a day's work. There
are also many of them who contract to
work by the year, and stay during the
rainy months of the winter, when work
;s scarce, and when the demand for
labor is greater in the Spring, they
leave for temporarily higher wages.
_ Thi3 element of uncertainty in agricultu?
ral contracts seriously affects the general
prosperity of agriculture in onr State,
and we hoped the farmers in council
would discuss this trouble in a practical
way, and if possible suggest some mode
of remedying the evil. The other im?
portant matter that was unacted upon is
the matter of speculating in futures.
Some measure looking to the union of j
the producing interests in the United
States against the speculating or gamb?
ling in futures should be devised for the
protection of the cotton and provision
growers of the South and West. No
business can prosper to its legitimate ex?
tent where outside parties .fix the price
of its products in advance of their prep?
aration for market. The. dealing in
futures ought to be stopped, and as the
farmers are the men who suffer ixom it,
they are. the ones who would be expected
to move for its prohibition by proper
&s,iTlaTionaI legislation.
The Socialist riot in Chicago last week
shows how completely the larger cities of
Hi' ftM|fAn"fT are at the mercy of a few
reckless and desperate outcasts who may
at any time band themselves together for
v. mischief. A mere handful, comparative?
ly speaking, of socialists in Chicago
with a single dynamite bomb injured
sixty-three persons, forty of whom were
policemen sect to disperse them. Had
the whole party of two or three hundred
been armed with these bomb3 they could
have defied an army and destroyed the
city. It is too late to meet these men
~ after they have committed overt acts of
violence. The laws should severely
punish those who organize such gather?
ings as that in Chicago by writing or
speaking, and such leaders should be
held strictly responsible for all of the
"Consequences of such gathering. The
making and selling of explosives like
dynamite should be regulated by strio
_gent license-laws, with the heaviest of
psnalties for violation. The secreting of
these explosives should also be made a
grave crime. The security of our society
rests in prevention. We have no larje
standing army, and cannot well afford to
provide one in the United States. Our
laws should give us protection by taking
the evil in its inception, when it is easier
to deal with, and when it will do , the
least harm. The Chicago riot also shows
the necessity for immigration laws. We
cinnot afford to permit the anarchists
of Europe to come with impunity to
America under the impression that they
can do as they please here. We want
thrifty, honest immigrants from Europe,
but we do not want, and ought not to
permit, the scum of Europe to settle in
America. They are disturbers of the
peace and safety of society there, and
will be the same here. The problems
presented by the Chicago riot are the
_most serious that our government has
ever had to deal with, but they should be
met promptly and sternly. The arrests
of the leaders in Chicago was wise and
wholesome. If they are promptly and
severely punished by law, the example
""will be a valuable one for law and order.
Free Trade Association.
There will be a meeting of the Free
Trade Association of South Carolina in
^Columbia on the 2d of June at 12 m.
Not only the members of the association,
but all who are interested in the reduction
of the tariff, are requested to be present.
Addresses will be delivered by Colonel
Edward McCrady, Jr., Colonel W. R.
- Davie, Colonel J. W. R. Pope, N. G.
Gonzalez. E<q , B. 0. Duncan, Esq., and
Colonel Henry A. Gaillard. The execu
tive Committee will be happy to provide
for a joint discussion on that occasion.
Should any advocate of protection be
willing to present hiB views, he is assured
of a courteous reception and a careful
hearing. Newspapers that desire to have
our economic condition freely discussed
are requested to extend this notice.

OUK WASHINGTON LKTTKIt.
Washington, D. C.,May 8th, 1886.
A resolution has been introduced in
Congress looking to a proper observance
of Decoration Day, the 30th of May.
The Grand Array Posts too are moving,
and the noble dead are not forgotten by
the lapse of time. The historic trees of
Arlington?the former home of Lee, and
now the great National Cemetery?are
shooting forth their tender leaves of
spring to" clothe the silent city of the
dead in immortal green. Other ceme?
teries in the vicinity of Washington are
visited on the 30th of May by patriotic
and grateful citizens, but the District
turns out en masse to shower emblems of
love on the graves of the uukuown dead
at Arlington. No distinction is now
made between the graves of the Confed?
erate and the Union braves. The same
hands strew the May flowers upou both,
and all auiinosity is buried in the graves*
A daily register is kept at this cemetery
of all visitors, and a comparison shows
.that nearly as many strangers visit it as
go to Mount Vernon.
Difficulty has already risen in obtain?
ing the desired site for. the new library
building. The commission has received
offers from the owners of the property,
and the amount asked is $803,000, which
is $300,000 more than Congress appro?
priated for the purchase. Justice Field,
of the U. S. Supreme Court, wants 90,
000 for his house, which is largely in ex?
cess of its market value. Other owners
have likewise put on stiff prices. These
gentlemen don't care to sell at any figure
as their residences overlook the beautiful
Capitol park, and will be made the most
desirable sites in the city for dwellings if
the libraray is put upon the square op?
posite. By putting on such big prices it
is hoped the commission will feel obliged
to purchase the opposite square, which it
appears can be bought for a few thousand
dollars less.
The Department of State has just re?
ceived notice from the Australian Gov?
ernment that an international exhibition
will be opened at Adelaide, South Austra?
lia, in June next. The managers of the
exhibition are anxious that the manufac?
turers of this country should be largely
represented as a means of increasing the
commerce between the two countries.
The trade is already large and profitable.
The Senate Committee has reported
favorably the bill providing for a consti?
tutional amendment, changing the date
i of*Inauguration Day, and the beginning
of Congressional sessions from the 4th of
March to the 30th of April. Congress
sees the neecessity of longer sessions in
order to get. through with the public
business, and hence the proposed
changes.
The Senators are disgusted with the
increased number of bills presented for
consideration this session. Over 3000
have been introduced in the Senate alone,
and perhaps as many more have been re?
fused introduction. The Senators are
averse to having bills introduced in the
Senate first, and will never introduce a
bill of a private nature unless strong in?
fluence is brought to bear. If the Sena?
tor has no personal interest in the bills
he is always careful to say that it is in?
troduced "by request," which is printed
on the bill. By that mark bis brother
Senators know that he is (indifferent,'and
the claim receives but little consideration.
In talking with a Senator the other
day he Baid that the time of Congress
was taken up in considering private
claims that could not be established in
any court, and ought not to be consid?
ered by Congress. If a man has a doubt
ful claim he comes to Congress with it,
hoping by personal influence to work it
through. The Senator is in favor of
considering no claim over which any
court of the United States has jurisdic?
tion. He thinks that no "favors" should
be shown, and when a bill is referred to
him he always resolves any doubt in
favor of the Government.
The fact that a bill has been consid?
ered and reported favorably in the House
has very little weight in the Senate.
The Senators think that too many bills
are introduced in the House to make it
possible for the members to consider all
of them carefully, and that even after a
bill has passed the House the merits of
it ought to be closely investigated by the
Senate. It is done whenever possible,
but in the last days of every session,
then the action of the House has to be
accepted as a sufficient warrant for pass?
ing the bills.
The inroduction of 8,000 bills in the
House and 3,000 in the Senate, this
session, has resulted in causing both
branches of Congress to consider some
feasible plan for referring all claims of a
private character to the Court of Claims
for settlement. Such a bill will doubtless
pass before the close of this Congress.
The House has bad one or two night
sessions this week and seems disposed to
get off all the business possible in the
short time left. The members who are
?ear enough to their homes to reach
there in a day or two's ride are getting
excused for ten days or two weeks to go
home to "fix up their fences." They all
like to be here notwithstanding that they
are worked so hard by their constituents.
There are four members of the present
House who could have a renomination if
they would accept it, but they have posi?
tively declined. The declination of four
members to receive a renomination when
they could get it, is a thing so rare that
it is an item worth noticing. H.
? Ex-Postmaster General Frank Hat
ton Baid to me to-day: "Blaine is a
candidate in dead earnest again. His
family is announced as having joined the
Catholic Church. That always happens
when Blaine wants anything real bad,
It gives him a chance to come out and
explain how he goes to the Congregation?
al Church, how Walker is inclined to
Methodism and how the rest of the fami
ily mix up their religion. He uses a
religious scoop net for votes. I presume
it will come out pretty soon that Blaine
is a Knight of Labor. As far as I am
concerned I am for Logan. He is the
most popular man in the country to-day."
?New York Di*patch to the Cincinnati

? The internal reveuue bureau is
having a great deal of difficulty with
moonshiners in the mountains of East
Tennessee and Virginia, and large posses
of deputies, under the command of
United States marshals and deputy col?
lectors, are now scouring the country
suppressing illicit distilleries and arrest?
ing those who conduct them. There
have been several collisions between the
moonshiners and the marshals' forces, and
the number killed the last thirty days is
Baid to have been twelve, most of them,
however, moonshiners.
? The Methodist Church, in a recent
report, claims to have in its Sunday
schools in the United States an attend?
ance of 2,004,500, officers and pupils.
This is a Sunday-school army as vast as
the standing armies of the five greatest
powers on earth combined. The moral
power exercised by this army can hardly
be computed. And when to it are added
the schools of other denominations, an
idea may be had of the size of one branch
of the work done by the Christian
churches of the land.

of Capt. Geo. Anderson, late of Waterloo,
Laurens Co., S. C, died Jan. 24. 1S8G, in
the home where she had given birth to and
reared to manhood and womanhood sixteen
children?twelve boys and four girls. She
was a remarkable and model woman in
many respects. First, in that she had
raised to mature age and usefulness all
these children. In the lat>: fraternal strife,
nine of her boys were on the "tented field"
at one time, and all lived through the war
and returned home except one, who was
killed in the battle of Sharpsburg. Eleven
of the boys were still living at the time of
their mother's death, though scattered in

On last Monday night a horse belonging
to Mr. W. L. Gray perambulated in the
neighborhood of Col. B. W. Ball's resi?
dence, and on reaching the trestle across
Reedy Fork, he concluded to try the ex?
periment of walking the trestle by moon?
light. Strange to say, the horse walked a
distance of twenty-five feet, before he dis?
covered that he had too' many feet to
accomplish this feat successfully. The
engineer on the construction train found
him in a very uncomfortable position next
morning, and .After considerable exertion
he was landed on terra fmna, a wiser but
not a belter horse; for he still sutlers from
the injuries received, which will probably

Gordon for Governor.
General John B. Gordon makes the
following announcement to the people of
Georgia:
At Home, DeKalb County, Ga., May
8, 1886.?To the people of Georgia:
After much reflection I have decided to
become a candidate for nomination by
the Democratic party of Georgia for the
office of Governor. This decision has
not been reached without sober thought
and full consideration. For many months
past personal and political friends have
urged me to become a candidate. From
every section of the State, and from all
classes and former divisions in the party,
these requests have come. I have hesi?
tated and waited, because I desired to
know whether the wish was general with
the people. Of this I cannot longer en?
tertain a doubt. The evidences which
have reached me (particularly in the last
few weeks) of the desire of the people,
have profoundly stirred my heart and
satisfied me of my duty. From distant
portions of the State and from my im?
mediate neighbors (some of whom have
known, me in most iutimate associations
from my boyhood up) these solicitations
have come. This movement by the
people so far as I am able to judge, is
absolutely spontaneous. I have not
written one letter upon the subject, ex?
cept in answer to those which have
reached me; and I have solicited the aid
of no man nor conversed with any who
have not introduced the subject.
Now that I am a candidate, I trust that
none of my fellow-eitizens of Georgia
will misunderstand me. From the un?
generous, unwarranted and utterly un?
truthful criticisms which have heretofore
been indulged in by certain parties in
reference to myself, I seek no vindication
at the hands of the people.
If the life that I have led for more
than half a century, before this people
among whom I was born and reared, is
not a sufficient answer to my enemies,
who are enemies without cause or excuse,
no reply from me would satisfy them.
If, at any time of my life, if in private
or public station, in peace or in war, I
have ever deserved the confidence and
esteem of this people, I deserve the same
now as surely and as completely. I
wish, however, to make known in this
public manner, that I shall visit and
speak to as many Counties as possible,
and am ready on all occasions to confront
these enemies before the people.
Should the people prefer either of the
other able and honorable gentlemen who
are candidates for the office, I shall sup?
port their choice most cheerfully. If,
however, the people should honor me as
their choice, I shall endeavor to servo
them with an eye single to the best in?
terests of Georgia.

? A photgrapber tells the St. Louis
Globe-Democrat that photography opens
up a trackless undiscovered domain in
the heavens. Some time ago a camera
charged with highly sensitivized paper
was directed at a clear spot in the skies,
where the most powerful telescope de?
tected nothing, To the surprise of the
operator the negative showed several
stars of magnitude. This was at first
thought due to some spot or defect in the
paper, but the experiment was tried again
and again with the same result. Some
mouths afterward stars appeared at the
very poiuts indicated by the camera.
The explanation is this: Ever since the
velocity of light has been discovered it
has been knowu that there were myraids
of stars whose ray, travelling with incon?
ceivable rapidity since the morning of
creation, has not yet reached the earth.
Every now and then one of these appears.
The camera in the instance mentioned
had caught the first glimpse of these new
born planets.
? In the United States more tobacco
ia raised and destroyed, iu proportion to
the population, than in any other couu
try; but we waste as much by our ex?
travagance as we consume. Tt has been
estimated that about one-tenth of the
whole population of the United States is
occupied in the cultivation and manufac?
ture of tobacco. The amount of yearly
production ranges from 2,000,000, pounds
and upward. The States that grow the
most are Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee,
Maryland North Carolina, Ohio and
Connecticut.
? An estate in Texas, placed on the

? The Senate on Friday con?rmed
the nominations of the three South
Carolina collectors and of District Attor?
ney Youmans. Marshal Boykin is yet
unconfirmed but there is no opposition
to him.
? AtTTeast a dozen men in Pennsylva?
nia alone have committed suicide because
of business depression, created by the
unsettled condition of industrial affairs,
and to the responsibility for the suffering
in families by strikes it is uow suggested
that the responsibility for these deaths
must also be added.
? It is stated that many Congressmen
are considering, in view of the present
labor troubles, the propriety of passing
some legislation restricting immigration.
This course is advocated because of the
fact that all the riots and bloodshed are
caused by a lot of foreigu Anarchists and
not by American born laboring men.
What is needed is less demagogy on the
part of Congressmen and other officials
and a rigid execution of the law against
all disturbers of the peace.
