The agitation of the matter of allow! l?wer rates on fertilizers in this State 1 resulted in the calling oJ another meet: of the State Railroad Commission to held in Columbia to-day to consider requests for a redaction of the rate. 3 commission has already this month fused to lower the rate. The Now York Sim says the quest of what the South Is goinj: to do w five-cent cotton, is partially answered the announcement that the Low ell cot x?illa are unable to manufacture coa fabrics in competition with the Sot ?Che South will hereafter manufact more and more of its own cotton and tl obtain what it has long desired?m diversified industries.

Thd announcement comes from M Bissi?sippi that tho farmers of that St have taken the advice of the Jacks Cotton Growers' Convention and v reduce their acreage, and that county < ganizations are forming according to 1 Convention's plan, in all parts of 1 State. The farmers of Alabama are p paring to take the advice of the Con v< tionof their own volition, because th own experience has taught them tha is the only wise and expedient cour at the present ruinous prices they i getting for their cotton. The Charleston News and Courier, w its usual enterprise, has offered a prize 9100 in gold to the two farmers or otl ' persons who shall raise the two hoavi hogs in South Carolina during they< 1895. . This amount will be divided ix two prizes. The prize for the biggest h will be eighty dollars in gold, and for t uecond biggest hog twenty dollars gold. A third prize for the hogshowi the largest gain at the lowest cost, w be a complete set of tl Amerlcaniz Cyclopedia Britannica, bound in moroc and consisting of ten volumes. We ho some of the citizens of Anderson Coun will make an effort to capture the prizes, which are worth striving for. We are and have always been in fav of home enterprises., and' when our pe pie invest their money and propose inaugurate an enterprise at home, t Relieve that they should be encourag and given all the support possible. F some time paai. tue question of establis ing a telephone exohange in our growii city has been agitated, and as a result corporation, to be known as the And* eon Telephone Company, has been c ganized, and propose to establish the 0 change as soon as possible. This agit tion has attracted the attention of t. Bell Telephone Company, and it, tc has decided to establish an exchao; here. Now, we have not a word to si against this latter Company, but tl question arises, can Anderson suppo two exchanges ? We believe not. Wh is our du ty, then? To give the home e terprise onr support and encouragemen The home Company will furnish a d; and night service at ?25 per annum f commercial phones and $15 for dornest phones. When the exchange numbe forty or more members, a reduction w: be made In price of commercial servic A farther reduction will also be made; tha number inoreases, and should 01 hundred be reached, which is possibl the price will be fixed at ?15.

President Cleveland's Message to C< gress Washikoton, D. C., Jan. 28.?1 President shortly after noon to-day s: a special message to Congress call: its earnest and special attention to t necessity for immediate legislation the protection of the treasury from f tber depletion of its gold reserve. 1 message is vigorous in its tone and cf for prompt and efficient action on I part of Congress. It states that te porary expedients can not result in p manent good and that the business of t country will demand decisive action t. will leave no doubt of the decision of United States to maintain the integr of the national finances. Authority fc large bond issue is asked. The amoi of bonds suggested is 8500,000 000 an specific request for power to isqpe g bonds is made. The message asks t the secretary of the treasury be empc ered to issue these bonds to an amoi not exceeding the total of $500,000,000 the purpose of recouping the gold reser of strengthing our finances or of repl ishing the treasury in case the pres monthly deficiency of revenues contin Attention is called to our moneti system and speoial reference is mad< the silver question. In the outset the president refers to endorsement of the Carlisle ourrei plan in his last message, and says b now "convinced that its refection by C press and the present advanced stagi financial perplexity, necessitates ad tional or different legislation?' He nr upon Congress to consider the emergei free from prejudice and partisan si He points out that the people who suffering "will not receive the promoti of party interests as an excuse for r mining the present troubles to adva to its conclusion." Ha says t "Tee i ? trouble which confronts us consists in I lack of confidence, widespread and c * stantly increasing, in the continu ability or disposition of the eovernm to pay its obligations in gold."

The only bonds that can b< issued were authorized twenty-five y< ago and not calculated to meet the pi ant needs." "The most dangerous feature of situation" the president says ' is means by whioh the treasury isdespol of the gold thus obtained without c ceilings single government obligat) and solely for the benefit of those v find profit in shipping it abroad, or wh fears Induce them to hoard it at horn He relates how currency | notes redeei ble in gold do duty many times in dr; ing gold from the treasury, a proc which, under the present law it is i possible to stop. Three hundred mill of these have been redeemed in gold, all are still outstanding. Since last J nary the bonded debt has been increa a hundred million is efforts to preae the reserve. In the same time a hund and seventy-two millions in gold h been withdrawn from tbe treasury. '. obligations upon which this gold i drawn from the treasury are still c standing and available for use in repi ing the exhausting operations wi th she er intervals." As the perplexities accumulate conditions certainly supervening, tending to make the bonds which n be issued to replenish the gold less use for that purpose. He declares that adequate gold reserve is obviously ess tial to the upholding of the public ere and the maintenance of the high natio character. He saya it is not a questioi revenue. There need be no fear that can not pay current expenses with si money as we have.* There is now in treasury tbe comfortable surplus of m than $63,000,000, but it is in gold, t therefore does not meet the dlfficul He insists that the question of the ext to which silver may be coined does enter into the present emergency wh Is one of the preservation of the put credit. He says: "Whatever ideas n be insisted upon aa to silver orbimel ism, -the proper solution of the quest now pressing upon us only requi recognition of gold as well as silver t a concession of its importance, rightfu or wrongfully acquired, as a basis national credits the necessity of an hi orable discharge of obligations payable goid and a badge of solvency." "While I am not unfriendly to siT and while I desire to see it recognized such an extent as is consistent with fini [is. I cial safety and the preservation of i ate I national honor and credit, I am not w 'ing to see gold entirely abolished fn our currency and finances. In my op ion the secretary of the treasury shoi be authorized to issue bonds for the pi pose of procuring and maintaining sufficient gold reserve and for the demption and cancellation of Unit . I States legal tender notes, and treasc notes issued for the purchase of sib under the law of 1890. We should relieved from tbe humiliating process issuing bonds to procure gold to be i mediately and repeatedly drawn out, giving obligations for purposes not rel ed to our government or our people. 1 principal and interest of these bor should be payable on their face in golc He suggests that the bonds be fifty y< and three per cent, of small denomh tions; that legal tenders be received payment and cancelled; that natioi banks use them as a basis of circulati up to their face value; that banks allowed to issue notes of less than t dollars; tbat silver certificates of abc ten dollars be replaced by certificates less than ten; tbat customs duties made payable in gold. These provisic the President says, "need not intern with any currency scheme providing increase of tbe circulating medic through the agency of national or Sti banks since they can easily be adjust to such a scheme" Bays in conclusio "I desire to frankly confess my reluctai to issuing more bonds in the present o oumstances and with no better resu than have lately followed that conrse. can not, however, refrain from adding the assurance of much anxiety to < operate with the present Congress in at reasonablo measure of relief the expn sion of my determination to leave nol ing undone which furnishes a hope: improving the situation or checking a suspicion of our disinclination or inabil: to meet with the strictest honesty, eve national obligation."

It has been quite a long time, nearly year in fact, Hince the statement tb made that the then Governor, B. R. Ti mac, the "Moses" of South Carolina, -w setting his cap for something beyond t United States Senate; tbat he was loo ing to the possible organization of a n< National Third party in American po tics, and to being put upas one of leaders. Nearly every one perhaps li forgotten the interview the new Senat gave along this line about tbe middle March last, but bis utterances at the tit will be easily recalled when one readi letter he penned a few days ago. For some time Thomas F. Byron, t editor of the Des Molnes, Iowa, Far me, Tribune, has been agitating the organh tion of a new National Third party, to known as the "National Reform Mo; menr." He has been publishing a seri of letters from all the big Western ai Southwestern leaders of the old Thi party and of the Democratic party, a Till man. Many of tbe leaders differ < certain particulars, but all agree tbat t time has come for a new national par tobe founded?a party differing in j demands from the Third party in the 1: a- national campaign. s0 Byron, after getting the views of i , the Western p.tA Southern men on t 81 matter, wrote to ex-Governor Tillma s- whom he refers to as tbo "Cromwell ;e. the South," and ashed the new Unit i.e States Senator for a letter. This let! was written on the 8th ultimo, and Byn at considers the letter "a powerful one." r- The following is a copy of the letter i'l- sent on by the ex-Governor: Trenton, S. C, Jan.

Alas, they are a byword ant i a hissing to the Democrats who belie )S with Jefferson and Jackson, and the I I publicans who followed Lincoln. I s no hope of relief or of saving our instit 6" tions, unless the farmers of .the Sou ed quit voting the Democratic ticket and t farmers of the West quit voting the I y' publican ticket. to We must get together, and narr vo should not divide us. But the Popult! n. have *oo many cranks among th3tn a want to do too much. We cannot enl 18 the conservative masses unless we appi is to reason and common sense; and t is moro reforms we demand the fewer 3V. will obtain. Plutocracy is drunk wi / power and the success it has had in am ln gamating Republicans and so-call ?e- Democrats under the lead of Sherm Qe and Cleveland. The laps will be screw t down tighter and after awhile somethi DK will explode. South Carolina is rea with baggage packed, to join the m army of emancipation?the emancipati of the masses of white men from t slavery to corporations, trusts and n nonolies. The name "Democrat" no longer cc he jures here. The name is dear for nt memories, not its present ossociatio; og A new Rarty name seems necessary, a he all we ask is an adherence to the prin for pies of old-time Democracy: "Eqi ir- rights, equal opportunities, equal bi be den?.

This is platfo w- enough, and any more will confuse a int divide us on these essentials. Tor If the scoundrels and traitors who n< ve, rule in Washington are to dictate I jn- policy and name the ticket, our electo mt vote wtllnot go to a "Democrat" in 1 uo. It cannot go to a Republican under a try circumstances; and Populism, as n > to organized and led, cannot get it. It is the part of wisdom and patriot! his for the Third party leaders to retr icy their steps and be less radical in th sis platform. The conditions are similai >n- those existing in '26 and '58.

The contest will be open to every mi 11 woman and child in the State who is 3d yearly subscriber to The Weekly Ne tl- and Courier, and who can own and onl to vate a pig. The purpose of The Ne n- and Courier in offering the prizes is ur encourage the people of the State to rai m thoir own meat and to ehow that Sou tS Carolina leads in the production of h a- and hominy, as it leads in the manufe )d ture of ootton goods. Some days ago \ se received a letter from a Barnwell coun ie farmer suggesting that The News a; Lb Courier offer premiums for the biggi ie hogs, and we have adopted the sugg? of tioD. Our Barnwell county farmer Bail to "It is gratifying to the friends of yo m paper to see the interest manifested te the welfare of our farmers Only a fe m years ago The News and Courier urg ie the people to plant tobacco, which, fro iy all accounts, has been a blessing to mai 0- in the Pee Dee section of the State. Nc y, you are showing what our people can i j- in raising their own bacon. I would bu |y geat that The News and Courier offer V premium of $100 to the one killing t ;e heaviest hog next December. I belle that this would have a good effect ai >n cause many of our people to give mo m attention to the Hog, and that next D 1- cember there would be bigger hogs ki: !.. ad in this State than ever before. Th plan would allow the smallest farmer compete for the prize." The reports from all parts of the St which we have published show that wl the people have little money they hi more home-raised bog and hominy tt in any year since the war. Some of reports of big hogB that we have receh are almost startling, so big were the he and grown at so little expense. It been demonstrated tbat bacon can produced in South Carolina at an aver; cost of three cents a pound. The Hews and Courier will pay < hundred dollars in gold to the two m women or children who shall grow two biggest hogs this year.
