Editor : The recent address em? anating from the Executive Committee of the Faraere' Association of South Carolina to the Democracy of the State has been freely commented upon by the press and the people. It outlines a policy, and shows that a contest is likely to be waged within the Democratic party during the campaign this Summer. That portion of tho address which claims that the farmers 'have a right to control, in the interest of the Agricultural College ^now about to be started, certain funds that have an agricultural aspect, should meet with general approval. The Act that provides for the establishment and maintenance of the Clemson College places after Nov. 1,1890, the Hatch and one half the Land Scrip fund into the hands of the trustees of the said College. The Farmers' Association demand that the Privilege Tax, also, should be used to run this College. This demand is reasonable and just, and should be and will be made an issue in the next can? vass, ??hese funds consolidated would be more than enough to support the College at Fori; Hill, without voting upon the people a single dollar of additional taxes. jThe funds of the Department of Agri? culture are bem^^ used in analyzing fer? tilizers, holding; Farmers' Institutes, adyertiziDg the resources of the State, etc., much of which work, as stated by the Committee, can very well be dis? pensed with, and that which is really necesswy-^-sucH as analyzing fertilizers? ? can be:more economically carried on ander the board of trustees elected for . the Agricultural College. Then, we say, abolish the Agricultural Bureau as it now stands. Let the University be di? vested of its agricultural and mechanical feature, which was started on purpose to defeat the object of an Agricultural Collage, and let it become what it was beforehand, purely a literary institution of a high order. Let there be, instead of 28 professors to teach 230 students., only about one-half that number, and it will take but very little more than one half what it does now to run it. The people of this State pay about $40,000 e year, directly from their pockets, to sup? port the University, and yet if any one wishes to send a son to school there, il costs just as much as to send to Wofford, Davideon, or any other first-class college And when the farmers of the State ass to place permanently into the hands oi the trustees of. their College these funds above alluded to, the cry come; up: "Ob, no; take, .your College, bul you must not interfere with 'existing in? stitutions.' " It is plainly to be seen that the' farmers of this State, to gain -their point in this matter, must make an open arid manly fight at the polls in the next election. They can only get their rights at the ballot-box. Let the people, not 'farmers alone, hold that. Convention in March, adopt a wise and statesman? like platform, then let it go before the Democratic Clubs and be discussed upon its merits. It would be unwise to nomi? nate a State ticket. Two recent editorials of tbS* Cotton Plant, the Alliance organ of the State, express, our. views exactly upon this point. Those were wise and statesman-like utterances. That Committee of the Farmers' As? sociation in some things strikes the key note; in others it goes beyond the mark. Its address, in language and spirit, was too severe. Its thrusts at members of the Legislature working in the interest of- phosphate companies was, perhaps, uncalled for. The Committee appointed by the Legislature some time ago to investigate and report on the subject of Ithe phosphate royalty may not have done its duty fully, and the Coosaw Mining 'Company, as stated in the address, may be growing rich, but-that Company paid into the State treasury, according to the Comptroller General's report, for last fiscal year $71,789.S7, nearly as much as all the other Companies, and there are five others, besides several individuals who have rights from the State to mine. The phosphate royalty, at $1.00 per ton, amounts to nearly $200,000 per year. Now, if this royalty, as recommended by the Farmers' Association, should be in? creased $100,000, is it not reasonable to suppose that this increase would run up the price of guano to cover that amount, and the increased revenue to the State would then be paid altogether by the agricultural class of our people, while other classes that do not use guano would receive all the benefit in paying less taxes. So it seems to be questionable whether the royalty should be increased at all. The State should so control its phosphate interests as to keep down a monopoly, granting rights to mine to different companies, and not too much to any one company, thus allowing com? petition to regulate the price. - The recent proposal to sell the State's interest in phosphate beds will, in our opinion, not amount to anything. If it were, known that $7,000,000 could be obtained for those beds, a half million more than enough to pay off the' State debt, it might be a good thing to sell, but the author of the bill upon this sub? ject, when questioned by other members of the Legislature for particulars, could give no information that there was even a probability of capitalists offering any? thing liko that amount. But enough now upon this subject. In a future communication we may allude to some other points contained in that address of the Farmers' Association. A Fabmeb. Equality, S. C. ? Ex-President Cleveland, in discuss? ing his own prospects of the Presidency, appears to hold, with Henry Clay, that he would rather be right than be Presi? dent again. The parallel might be car? ried further, and it is said, with truth, that a second election to the Presidency, is no more necessary to Mr. Cleveland's great ness than a first one was to that of Mr. Clay. Whether chosen to the Presidency again or not, Mr. Cleveland has immor? talized his name by connecting it with a great reform sure to be brought about, and-by making more impression in office upon the American people than any President save one they have bad for half a century.?Boston Herald. A Riot Near Greenwood, Greenwood, February 14.?A fight between a number of young white men and a crowd of negroes occurred near Mount Moriah Church, about four miles from this place, late last evening. James Kennedy, Robert Kennedy and John Burnet, white, received injuries, though none were seriously hurt except James Kennedy, whose injuries may result fatally. Taffy Thomas, Hamp Ward law and several other negroes received stabs and slight bruises, from which they will soon recover if proper attention is given them. As to the cause of the row I have been able to learn but little. It appears that the young men named above with others were on their way to the house of Nathan? iel Anderson to attend a marriage, when they met a party of negroes in a wagon. The driver of the wagon refused to turn aside or give any part of the road, and when asked by the young men to give the road so.that they could pass without damage he replied in most insulting and abusive language. This was a little more than the white men were disposed to stand, and a halt having been made one of them gave the negro a smart cut with his whip. A general fight ensued. As soon as the fight began the negro women who were in the wagon com? menced to scream and yell for help. The place is thickly settled with negroes, and in a few minutes a large crowd had col? lected around with all Kinds of weapons, which they freely used to the discomfi? ture and injury of the white, men. The negroes were finally frightened off by other white men who came up armed with pistols. It is said that one negro was shot while running away. A Charleston Horror. Charleston, February 17.?A double tragedy occurred here to night.. Napoleon Laval called at the store of B. Feldern an n & Co. and asked to see his wife who had I been separated from him for some time. When the woman came down Laval shot her and then, entering the store, shot Felde mann. Both of the victims are thought to be fatally wounded. Mrs. La? val was a niece of Feldeman and had been living with his family for some time. On being arrested Laval stated that it was merely a family affair and that there was nothing more to be said about it. The affair has created a great sensation I as the parties are well known and promi? nent in business and society circles. Charleston, S. C. Feb. 17.?The whole city was shocked to night by a -doable tragedy, the.like of which has never been known excepting perhaps on the occasion of the Dawson murder. The firm of B. Feldemann & Co. is one of the best known King Street grocery firms in I the city. Mr. Feldemann is about 55 I years of age and is married to.tbe sister of his junior partner, Robert Tesky. I A young sister of Mr. Tesky married a man named Napoleon Laval several years ago.' Laval and his wife did not get along very well together, and about 8 or 110 months ago, Laval, who is a carpenter by trade, left the city. His wife lived with her sister, Mrs. Feldemann. . Recently Laval returned to ithe city. He (iavB he wrote several letters to his wife asking her to return to him hut fail? ed to receive any reply. To-night he called at Feldemann's and rang rhe bell at I .the door adjoining the store. His wife I came down to answer the bell and he I shot her, firing two shots from a pistol I that he had on his person. The people in the store ran out, Felde? man in the lead. When they reached the I alleyway leading to the second floor they found Mrs. Laval lying in a pool of blood. Without saying a- word Laval turned his pistol on Feldman a and shot him, the ball I entering his left breast. By this time a { crowd had gathered and the murderer I was overpowered and Bent to the police ; station. He was seen by this correspon I dent later in the night and asked what [ his motives were for the deed. He re I plied that he had no motive but that he was glad ne had killed Feldemann. I At this time both Feldemann and Mr*. I Laval are in a critical condition. The woman cannot live till morning. The -man may recover. Thr tragedy has ere I ated a great sensation, as the parties are I well known in the city. There is not a I breath of suspicion of a scandal. Mrs. Laval is a Bister of Mrs. Feldmann and j had lived with her nearly all her life.? \. Special Dispatch to the Greenville Daily I News, i Bloody Deed In Chester. I Columbia, S. 0., February 16.?Gov J ornor Richardson's quiet Sunday strug I gle. with the grip was interrupted this I forenoon by the receipt of the following dispatch: j Chester, February 16.?To J. P. I Richardson, Governor, Columbia: - Tele? graph me order to remove Green Brown to Columbia jail. He is in jail for mur? dering my father. He will be lynched if not removed at once. ' W. H. Hood, Sheriff Chester County. The. Governor in reply telegraphed that Brown must be removed at once if in danger of being lynched. After a j conference with Assistant Attorney Gen? eral, Bachman. Private Secretary Gon? zales sent at 1.50 P. M. the following dispatch: To the Captain of the Lee Light Infautry, Chester: Respond to call of sheriff to protect a prisoner. W.E.Gonzales, Private Secretary. To W. H. Hood, Sheriff, Chester: The Captain of the Lee Light Infantry has been ordered to respond to your call. I Protect prisoner at all hazards and report his disposition to Governor by wire. W. E. Gonzales, \ Private Secretary. The prisoner was brought to Columbia on this evening's train and safely lodged I in that noted stronghold, the Richland jail, where Sheriff Rowan will keep him secure until he is taken to Chester for trial. His guards to Columbia were I Messrs/John B. McFadden, Jno. W. Dud no van t and W. H. Neal. The News, and Courier's representative could not get access to the jail this even? ing to interview the prisoner, but the .the jailer said that he insisted he was innocent. The members of the guard I from Chester went to church and could I not be found until 10 o'clock to-night. Col. John B. McFadden, the leader of the party, is the treasurer of Chester County and a prominent; citizen. He gave the following account of the affiir: Mr. John Hood, the murdered man, was the father of Sheriff Hood and of two leading merchants of. Chester. He was about 75 years old and lived in the town. Last night he took tea with his son, Israel Hood, and about 8 o'clock strolled out Pinckney street towards his own house. He was not Been alive after I that. At 4 o'clock this morning his body was found on a side street leading from j Pinckney to Centre street, and within I two hundred yards of Pinckney street, which is the principal street. He had J been killed by two gunshot wounds, the I mixed bird and squirrel shot scattering from his neck to his knees. A jury of inquest was summoned and evidence adduced which led to the arrest of.Green Brown, between 9 and 10 A. M. Brown is a negro about 55 years old and has been employed as a laborer in Chester. He had separated from his wife and was very jealous of her. Be? lieving her to be unfaithful to him, he had declared that if any one came near her house at night he would shoot him. The house is a short distance from the side street where Mr. Hood's body was found. It is believed that Brown was lying in ambush and fired on the old gentleman when he was strolling along unsuspectingly. The shots were heard -by a number of people. When arrested Brown had a double barreled gun, both barrels of which had been recently discharged. Other bits of circumstantial evidence were offered, but the inquest had not beeo concluded when Col. McFadden left Chester. , Upon the negro's arrest and the revela? tion of the charges against him there were immediate demonstrations leading to the belief that he would be lynched. Tbo murdered man had many relatives and they were nearly all inclined to lynching. His son, the sheriff,, acted, however, like a true servant of the law, I and after consultation with Col. McFrtd den sent the Governor the telegram quoted above. He was almost unnerved by the murder, but was determined that the negro should have a fair trial. He deputized Col. McFadden to protect him and take him to Columbia. When the guard were about to leave the jail for the train the Governor's dispatch authorizing his transfer was received. The negro was taken in a car? riage to the train and no attempt was made upon his life. At one time, how? ever, it was in great jeopardy, Col. McFadden says, and only strenuous efforts prevented a daytime lynching. CRIMES AND CASUALTIES. Greenville, Ala., Feb. 14.?W. B.

Yesterday this little fellow attempted to rob Jona Little, a Stanley County merchant. Little had been to Concord, and was returning with a load of goods in a covered wagon. When about ten miles out from Concord, Little heard a childish voice ring out by the aide of his wagon, saying: "Haiti" He raised the cover of his wagon to look out, and as he did so the young highway? man levelled a double-barreled rifle at him and commanded : "Throw up your hands 1" Little hesitated and then the youth told him if he did not throw up his hands instantly he would blow' out his brains. Little sent up his hands, but at once arranged himself, and jumping from his wagon he snatched the gun from the lad and slapped him down before he could recover from bis surprise. The lad's father went to see Little after he had ar? rived home, and it is understood nothing will be'done. about the matter. The Driving Wheels Melted Off By Friction. St. Joseph, M0.715.?A singular acci? dent happened to a freight train on the Union Pacific railroad, near Odessa, yes? terday. On account of unavoidable de? lays, and through the absence of orders, it was caught between stations and was running on the time of the fast mail train. The engineer of the freight tried to find a siding to avoid a collision. The heavy mogul was pushed to its fullest driving capacity. Coal waB piled -into the fire box, and the engine flew over the track at a speed never before attained by a freight train. Just before Odessa was reached the driving wheels of the engine were melted or burned off, and they left the rails, and the cars behind were piled upon each other. Fortunately, the engineer and fireman escaped without injury, although they were buried under the wreckage, which was piled upon the cab of the lo? comotive. The conductor of the freight flagged the fast mail in time to prevent a terrible catastrophe. Took a Drink, aud Lost a Wife; Greensboro, N.

Clary, a farmer, who lives five mileB from Newberry, seema to have determin-. ed to kill bis whole family, consisting of a wife, two sons and a daughter. - For some time he had been drinking very bard and is said to have suffered from delirium tremens, and no doubt on this occasion was crazed from drink. It is said that he first made an assault on his daughter, a young lady about 18 years old, and undertook to take her life, but was thwarted in the attempt. Some of the neighbors were sent for as a protection to the family, and while all were sitting quietly in the room Clary picked up a small axe and gave his wife three severe blows on the head, leaving hor in an unconscious condition. It was done before those who were preo ent could interfere. ' Mrs. Clary was pretty badly hurt but may recover. Yesterday she was thought to "be somewhat better, though not as well as the day before. Sheriff Eiser went up Saturday night and brought" Clary to jail where he now is. Ho did not fully realize, it seems, what he had done until Monday. When he did, of course he greatly regretted it, and said he would not have done it for any amount. AH day Sunday those who saw him in jail say that his mind was not right. It was only about two years ago that, when in one of these fits of madness, he shot his little son. It is a dreadful affair and greatly to be regretted. No other explanation than that his mind was crazed from drink can explain the awful tragedy.?Newberry Herald, IZth. Colonel James Aldrich made a Circuit Judge. Columbia, S. C. February 15.?It is now Judge James Aldrich. That dis? tinguished lawyer and gentleman was elected to a seat on the bench by the general assembly at its recent session, to succeed his uncle, Judge A. P. Aldrich, who to-day retires from public life, full of years and honor, and carrying with him the regard and veneration of the whole State. "Colonel" Aldrich arrived in the city yesterday, and at 10.45 this morning "Judge" Aldrich took the train for An? derson, where he will open his first court Monday. The oath of office was admin? istered by Chief Justice Simpson in the supreme court room at an early hour, and Colonel Aldrich qualified as one of the circuit judges of the State. The only other persons present were Sergeant at-Arms J. D. Brown and Oapt. Augus P. Brown, curator of the museum of the State Agricultural Department. Mr. Aldrich was born at Barn well Court House forty-one years ago. After graduating with distinction at Washing ten and Lee University, be read law and was admitted to the bar. In 1872 he moved to Aiken, where he has since been engaged in the practice of his profession. He has done active service for the Demo? cratic party on many occasions. Iu '76 and '77 he defended a great many Dem? ocrats, in the United States courts, from prosecutions growing out of the "Ellen ton riots." He also defended, in the State Courts, the men prosecuted by Attorney-General Stone for complicity in the "Hamburg riot." Mr. Aldrich is well known as a crimi? nal lawyer. His opening speech for the defense in the Ellenton cases is remem? bered as a brilliant effort. Conviction was not secured in a single case. Mr. Aldrich represented Aiken county in the house of representatives for four terms.---Charleston World. A Thrilling Story. Haggabd's Mills, Ga., February 14. ?Mr. G. W. MathiB tells a thrilling Btory of a wreck by a cyclone : "The cyclone came about i2 o'clock on the night of the 7th of February, a night that I never will forget. I was awake when it came, but the rest of my family was asleep. It blew my window open. I, got up to shut it. Just as I laid down the cyclone struck the house. "I felt like I was in a wagon on a rough road. The cyclone did not last more than a second, and all was over. When it stopped, I jumped up, aud asked my wife if she was hurt. She said no, but that she would be. By this time I could hear the name of "papa" on every side. I had sis children from one month up to elevea?years old. I did not know what to do, so I went to work with all my strength. My little boy was the first I come to. I asked him if he was hurt; he said no. I then went to my little girls and baby boy. They were able to stand up. I then went to my wife and little babe, and lifted the timber off of them. My work was not done. My wife asked where was Luma, a little girl seven years old. She was fast under some logs. Then my wife began to halloo, and start? ed for my father's house, a half mile off. Two negroes came to my aid. We all got out with no limbs broken, but badly bruised up. My foot is in a bad fix. My little girl has not walked any yet. Every? thing I had was broken and torn to pieces. AH my house furniture was torn up. Wagons came to move me, but could not find anything to move. Some of the house and my clothes were found one mile from where the house was. Wire grass was torn up by the roots, and everything else that was in its road."? Atlanta Constitution. The Georgia Monster. Birmingham, Ala., February 16.? Last night DickHawes wrote two letters, one to Miss May Story, a young lady whom he married in Columbus, and the other to Ed. Weaver, of Marion, Ind. He gave them unstamped to Deputy Gus. Ellard, who turned them over to Sheriff Smith, and he opened them. Both said that when received the writer would be dead, which plainly meant that Hawes intended to commit suicide. The letter to Miss Story said that his late con? fession in which he claimed that he paid John Wylie to kill his wife and Irene was false. He did it to get even with Wylie, who had once, while both were in jail here, betrayed a plot that Hawes and other prisoners had on foot to escape. Some days ago Hawes made a confes? sion to Deputy Dave Smith, on the latter's promise to tell nothing till he had been dead three days. In that confession Hawes Baid he paid Wylie and Fannie Bryant to kill Mrs. Hawes and little Irene. He had intended- to keep May, but on finding Bhe knew about the mur? der of her mother and sister, he took her out to East Lake and smothered her, and then put her body in the lake. ? Mr. and Mrs. Bradley Martin, wealthy members of New York'B Four Hundred, gave a dinner at Delmonico's to 300 guests, one day last week, the es? timated cost of which was $40,000.

Besides the tiara and stomacher of diamonds Bhe wore a collarette and neck? lace of rubies and several strings of dia? monds as well, and shoulder knots of ru? bies. The collarette was formed by two bracelets which once adorned the arms of Marie Antoinette, being purchased by the present owner at the sale of the French crown jewels. ?
