To the Editor of the News and Courier: There are many citizens in this State who can remember when the planters of upper Carolina, Georgia and Alabama carried their cotton to Hambirg to Bell and hauled back their annual supply of sugar, coffee, salt and iron. Hamburg was the only market for all that section, and at one time the moat important cot? ton market in the South. During the fall and winter the four and six mule teams with jingling bells and white cov? ered wsgonB crowded the streets and ex? tended far out on the plank road. The farmers in those days did not consider the middleman and speculator a nui? sance, when they bad to journey so far and lose weeks of time from farm work in order to find him. Tbey were glad enough when the railroad enabled them to sell their cotton nearer borne or ship it to Charleston. So the farmers of these times, notwithstanding the cry against the towns and commercial classes, like to go to the market where tbe middle men and speculators are most .numerous and give the last one a chance to bid on their cotton. Tbe first consideration with every pro ducer is a market. Manufacturers are always on the lookout for new channels of trade and new uses for their wares, and welcome every possible customer with the utmost courtesy and kindness. But in this State we bare tbe strange specta? cle of tbe farmers fighting, with tbe ap? parent aim of extenuation, every interest which can enhance tbe value of our crops while raising to excess those which make us more dependent on other com? munities. Truly we deserve to be called "fool farmers," thi?re is no other term to describe such foriy, and our daily Suppli? ken ought to be "Oh, wad some pow'r the giftie gie us, To see oursel'a as ithers see us." A friend of mine, who sel.B milk in a neigh boring town, told me that the town people kept too many cows and that in? jured his business. Another said there were too many gardens and consequently no market for vegetables. Now, here is the line on which tbe farmers should fight tbe towns: Let us encourage, by our good will and friendly votes, their growth ; hi lp to cover all those gardens with factories, dwellings and stores; ex tend tbe town limits and destroy (he cow pastures; confine the town people to their regular buainess of shoving the yard stick and pen. Then tbe farmers won Id have better markets for their di? versified crops, the farms for miles around would increase in value, texts would be decreased by the increase of taxable property, nod farmer-' sins and others wbo do not wish to farm could easily find good employment. Tbe experience of the past two years should admonish ns that tbe day is not distant when cotton planting on a large scale in South Carolina will be.a thing of the past. Cotton as a lint producer is a sun plant, and no appliance of agricul tural art or acieccti can affect those cli? matic conditions which develop tbe bolls and staple. As competition increases tie cooler sections of tbe cotton belt will be the first to succumb. There are vast sec tlooa of the globe where climate, soil and cheap labor are more favorable to tbe production of cotton than ours, and our own .history furnishes many examples of the transposition ok7 staple crops. South Carolina has no coal or iron mines to develop, and in this we are fortunate, for tbey bring an undesirable population, but she presents the most de? sirable field for the manufaeture of cot? ton, and the people wbo follow the rail? roads and factories are an intelligent, thrifty and law abiding class. The sys? tem of farming, which supplies an indus? trial population with the necessaries and luxuries of life, is one which could sot be wrenched from us, and for which our State is peculiarly adapted. Reform in this direction is tbe only hope for the future prosperity of tbe State, and the chief condition for its early accomplishmoot, is a just and friendly sentiment on tbe part of tbe peo? ple. J. R. J. Florence, 8. C, January 17,1893. A Joke od ?enator Quay. "Three years ago a party of gentlemen, including Senators Bate, of Tennessee, Eustis, of Louisiana, McPberson, of New Jersey, and Quay, of Pennsylvania, went over into Virginia from Washington on a hunting expedition," said Horace G. Ro'we, of Richmond, Va., at tbe Laclede. "While out in the woods (tie day tbey ran across a negro Methodist camp meeting in full blast. McPhevon and Quay had never witnessed such a thing before, so they put up their gnus and loafed about the camp grounds all day listening to the weird incantations of the negroes and to the shouts and exhorta? tions of tbe presiding elder, who occu? pied the pulpit. Senator Eustis con? cluded he would have some fun. He went to one of tbe most intelligent ne? groes and explained to bim that he wanted to put up a job on Senator Quay. He' borrowed the negro's watch, and while the Pennsylvanian wasn't paying any attention to bis surroundings the Louisiana Senator slipped it in his (Quay's) pocket. Presently the negro raised a row about having lost his watch, and called upon the constable, who was on the grounds, to help him find the thief. He pointed out Senator Quay and said that be bad brushed up against him two or three times. The constable west to Q iay and told bim that bis conduct had been suspicious, and as a watch bad been lost he would have to search him. The Senator became furious. "'Well, if you haven't got it there will be no barm done by searching you,' said '.he constable. "Quay consented and the watch was found. That was embarrassing, of courne, but he said to tbe officer: "'Iam not a thief. My name is Sen? ator Quay. Ask those gentlemen,' point? ing to the other Senators. "?We don't know bim,' they quickly j spoke up. 'He has been following us all day, and who he is or where be eomes from we know not. He is not Senator Quay.' Quay got so mad that ho fairly quiv? ered. When tbe constable went to put the band cuffs on him his friends and tbe negro spoke up and explained the joke. When they arrived back in Wash? ington there was a wioe supper and promises never to tell, but the story leaked out, ihoogb I have never seen it in print."?St. Louis Republic. ? About 5,000 words in tbe English language have no rhyme to them. These include such important word? as honor, virtuo, gulf, moN$ who, j Future Laws. At the next session of the Legislature we may look for the following bills to be introduced : Bill to appoint a commission to manu facture fertilizer for the farmers and for? bidding any private corporation from selling; any vrtbiu tbe limits of. the State. Bill appointing a commission to visit the Western markets for the purpose of pur? chasing horses and mules, to be sold ex? clusively to our own people, and prohib? iting anyone from purchasing a horse or mule except from tbe State Livery Stable. The commissioners shall receive a salary of one thousand dollars and travelling expenses and be allowed tbe use of one horse. They will only be allowed to charge a profit of fifty per cent on cost, all profits to go into the State Treasury. Farmers will be allowed to raise borseB for their own use or to sell outside of the State, but must not come in competition with the State by Belling any animal within its borders. Bill to establish a general merchandise store, making a specialty of dealing in meat, corn and bay, for the benefit of the formers and requiring them to purchase their supplies from said store. The man? agers of said store shall receive a salary of one thousand dollars each, including rations, consisting of three pounds of meat, one peck of meal and one quart of whiskey, tbe latter to be obtained by a requisition on the State barkeeper. A uniform profit of fifty per cent must be charged on all articles which, after de ducting expenses, must be paid into tbe State Treasury. If these measures are passed, the profits arising from these enterprises, with that from tbe whiskey monopoly, will not only pay ail tbe expenses of tbe State Government but leave a considera? ble amount over. This will present the strange spectacle of a State not only re? lieving its citizens from the burdens of taxation, but actually making money by merchandising If any one doubts the ability of tbe present administration to carry out these measures, he is a very skeptical individ? ual and should be ashamed of his lack of faith. If people won't obey tbe militia can be called out.?Darlington Herald. Facts About Flour-Corn. Geover, N. 0., January 23.?Since mention has been made in your columns of the flour corn, I will give for the ben? efit of tboee of your readers who may want to know, all I know about it. As has already been stated, the corn has been grown in small quantities in this section for tbe last two or three yearn. Last spring I decided to see what there was in it, before planting any more. With the limited amount of fl.mr on I band, I gave it every test that I could These tests satisfied me that there was something valuable in the corn. I planted two acres and harvested between thirty-five and forty bushels. Since gathering time in the fall, I have had every opportunity to thoroughly test the flour. The bread made from all corn? flour rises well and looks like flour bread, but it is too short, and does not taste, ex? actly like bread made from wheat flour. Mixed with flour?half and half?the bread ia floe, and not one ib a hundred could tell the difference. In tbe propor? tion of one-third corn flour to two-thirds of wheat, as stated in the Enquirer last week, the bread will pr-ss the inspection of an expert. This is provided, of course, that the soda is bandied carefully. Tbe mixtures are easily colored by too much soda. Cakes of all kinds made of corn? flour are much better, to my way of thinking, than those made from all wheat flour. The flour-corn is planted and cultiva? ted just as ordinary corn, except that it will stand about twice as thick on the ground. The yield per acre is about the same as ordinary corn. It should be planted far enough away from other corn to prevent mixing. It is ground in an ordinary flouring mill, and bolted tbe same as wheat. In cecclusion, I will say that tbe flour corn will help out a slow wheat crop, and those who have to buy flour will ex? perience a great saving to the pocket book. At the same time they will have a decidedly more wholesome bread than can be made from wheat.?F. H. Dover, in Yorkvillc Enquirer. No More Third Parly. Memphis, Tens., Jan. 22.?The next issue of the National Economist will oon tain a manifesto from a faction of the Farmers' Alliance appealing to the mem? bers in tbe order to repudiate tbe acts of tbe late Memphis convention by forming a new organization on a strictly non partisan basis. The manifesto is signed by J. F. Tillman, of Tennessee, who, along with his office, was "abolished" as far as the alliance is concerned, at the Memphis convention. Mr. Tillman now denounces the men who now control tbe alliance and reviews the origin and growth of the order, pointing eut its original purposes, which, he declares, were in accord with the principles of the Democratic party, and which he, as a life long Democrat, undertook to carry out and impress upon its members. Referring to and defining the action of the late national campaign, in which be is charged with treason to the alliance, by sending out under his official signa? ture, numerous documents appealing to the alliance to be true to the Democratic teaching upon-which it was founded, he says: "I conceived it a duty devolviog upon me both as general mauager and director of the lecture bureau of tbe national al? liance and as an humble member of tbe Democratic party to contribute to the success of a cause common to the inter? ests of both. That the literature sent out under my signature aided the Demo? cratic party and contributed alike to tbe defeat of the Republican and Third party, I have no doubt, aud freely admit, in fact, suoh were ray desires, because tbe Third party in my State and other South? ern States was allying with the Republi? cans in its efforts to defeat Democratic principles." A cull will be iosued in a few days for a convention of the seceding faction which will meet in Memphis or Atlanta some time during April. ? Washington State ia quarrying a monolith which is m be the largest ever cut in this Cuuntry, and twenty feet lon? ger than the much talked about monolith Wisconsin has prepared for the Chicago Fair.

The Wife's Stratagem. A story, said never to have been printed, says the New York Times, is of a certain Brooklyn woman who finds a peculiar significance now in the words of the Psalmist: "Pride goeth before de? struction and haughty spirit before a fall." Her husband is a man of preju? dices, and one of tbem i'b against wearing an overcoat ..uat costs more than $15. This notion sorely tried his wife's aristo eratic ideas, and when expostulation and entreaty availed nothing she resorted to strategy. Collusion with his tailor on the occasion of his recent need of an out? door garment, permitted his purchase of j a $65 coat for bis usual price, $15. The wife duly paid the difference and was happy?for a few days. Within a fortnight an old friend met her husband and at or.ce noticed the un? usual elegance of bis new overeoa', "Why, how's this? You are wearing better clothes than you used to." "Not at all," be replied ; "this is one of my ordinary $15 overcoats." "It is I "Well, I'll give you $25 for it." "It's yours," was the promp t reply and the bargain was completed oa the spot. When the husband reached home bis wife was surprised at bis appearance. "Why, where is your overcoat?" aha asked. "0," was the complacent reply, "a fool down town offered me $25 for it an! I took it." (Curtain.) Guessed He Knew the Hair. One of the grain operators in the Chi? cago Board of Trade was married a short time Bgo, says the New York World, and of course, the first time he appeared on the board after bis honeymoon he was subjected to many congratulations and much good natu red bantering, says an exchange. One of his friends, after oongratulatiog him, suddenly reached over and took a long brown hair from bis shoulder. "Looks bad In a married man, Ticker," he exclaimed, holding it. up to the light. ' 0, that's all right," said Tick?r, smil ing, "it's my wife's." "No, no, that won't do," responded the friend ; "your wife's hair is darker than that." , . This made Ticker a trifle angry, and he exclaimed excitedly : "I tell you it is my wife's. I guess I kuuw my wife's hair when I see it." "Well, you certainly ought to," Baid the friend, gazing inteneely at it. "But are you sure it's your wifo's?" 'Sure ? Of cuurae I am. Why do you a*k ?' "0, I thought perhaps there might be a mistake. You see, I found it on Brown's shoulder just before I saw you." Ticker's smile was a sickly one as he invited the crowd out. ? John Hopkins University will give tho degree of doctor of philosophy to a woman at its next commencement. It is the first time it has thus honored a wo? man. Miss Florence Bascom, of Wil liamstown, who will receive the degree has received four degrees from the Uni? versity of Wisconsin? ? Nancy Garrison, a negress living at Holly Springs, Miss., has the longest hair probably of any woman in the world. She is about 60 years old. Her bair she wears in three plaits. The side plaits just touch the flo >r, while the plait be? hind drags two feet nine inches on the floor, and measures 8 feet in length. It is a silver sable in color, and she wears it coiled np on ber head. ? A curiosity exists near Olympia, Wash. It is a well 20 feet in depib which is certainly gradually rising to the surface of the earth For some time the brick wall of the well has been pro? truding through the ground, until now it sticks up into the air like a funnel to the height of 10 or 15 feet.

BURRISS. Master, Tbe Soiit!) Carolina Liquor Law? It may bo a gain to break up saloons and drinking dons. It may prevent to some extent the vile mixtures that are now sold ; it may increaso the income of the Stato treasury, but wo can hardly think it adds to the dignity of a great State to engage in a vile business, that has no modifying or redeeming features; a business that debauches tbe citizen, im? poverishes the home, and fills the prison and asylum with wrecks of ruined and fallen men. It cannot be a remedy for drunkenness, it cannot decrease crime, nor the expenses growing out of crimi? nal jurisprudence. The State simply takes a vile business out of tbe bands of heartless men, whose nature has become callous to all tbe evil of which it is the cause, and itself becomes the drunkard maker of the people it is bound to foster and protect. It is a law that puts to blush our boasted civilization, and produces a sense of shame and disgust in the mind of every man who has the best interests of the people at heart. The whiskey business cannot be controlled by law. The only safe course to pursue is to abol? ish its manufacture and sale. This is right morally, religiously and politically. The State has no more right to debauch or impoverish the citizen than has the sa? loon keeper. From our point of view this law makes the State more directly a participant in the crime than the com? mon license law. It plaees tbe great seal of the commonwealth upon drunken? ness and every crime growing out of it; and says what you are or what you may become is a legitimate consequence of legal enactment, from which there is no appeal. O, shame, that it must be said of ?ur Southern sister : "A State manufac? tory lor drunkenness and crime."? Methodist Protestant. ?

Daggers, intended for use and not for ornament, and juat large enough to slip inside a woman's gown, are now manufactured and sold in considerable numbers, says the Jewellers' Circular.

The ministers of Atlanta are raising a rumpus over an invitation that has been sent from that city to Col. Robert G. Ingersoll, the great infidel lecturer, to deliver one of his lectures there. They call upon all Christian people to keep away from him and show him that at the South at least be cannot ridicule sacred things as a profit to himself. ? Preparations are making for a grand demonstration in connection with the in? auguration of Mr. Cleveland at Washing? ton, March 4 next.

The French newspapers tell of a very interesting match that came off in France. Two women In good society challenged each other to talk fast.

In addition to his regular chanty account he has made many mag? nificent gifts to educational and religious institutions. ? A colored man, the first of his race to be admitted into the priesthood of the Episcopal Chnrch in Kentucky, was or? dained in Louisville a few days ago. His name is William M.

He bad a good education in Ohio, and for a time was em? ployed in tbe war department in Wash? ington. ? Near Davis, Ga., on Monday last Mr. Lin Richards had a thrilling encoun? ter with a panther. The beast stood growlinc in the middle of tbe road and refused to let him pass. He had no wea? pons, not even a knife, but he got a club and made for tbe panther. Tbe battle was long and fierce, but by weli directed blows at each bound of the beast, Lin fi? nally pesuaded bim that bo was not bis meat, yet not until he bad bad bis clothes torn to a considerable extent. Ho is not certain how large the panther was, only that it was a monster. Its track meas? ured four inches long and three inches wide. ? Mr. P. L. Tarrnnt has presented tho museum of Newberry College with an old pistol which his grandfather took from an Indian in a tight. Tt is of Eng? lish make, line workmanship, and is a curiosity. ? The other day a tramp applied for lodgings at a Mississippi farm house, when the farmer se<. his dogs on him and severely beat him.

The chief of the Kansas City lire de? partment has invented a new bridle for horses, the use of which makes it impos? sible for the horse to take the bit be? tween his teeth. It has no bit to take. It is arranged with a strap over tho horse's nose, and a steel curb under his jaw in such a way that a hard pull on the reins makes the animal very uncomfor? table indeed. Tho new bridle works to perfection, it is said, on a practical tost, keeping the horse perfectly under con? trol, while giving him tho minimum of discomfort.
