THE GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE. tYNOPSIS OF TiE SUGGESTIONS OF OUR CHIEF MAGISTRATE. n Exhaustive Review of the Financial; Educational and Industrial Conditi -n of the State-An Able and Interesting Paper. bn the first day of the present ses sion of the Legislature Governor Thompson submitted the customary message to the General Assembly. The first matter considered is THE PUBLIC DEBT, which is now $6,522,188.54, consisting of Brown console, valid Green consols, deficiency bonds, and agricultural land scrip. THE REVENUES OF THE SrATE. The tMtal revenues of the State and countes for the fiscal year commenc Ing November 1, 1883, % as about $2, 089,000, of which about $1,936,000 was raisedby taxation, and $153,000 from phosphate royalty. The collection o the taxes was unusually full and satis factory, nearly 98 per cent. of the assessed State tax having been collect ed, and nearly 86 per cent. having beer paid Into the treasury. The net re ceipt for each mill levied was $145,000, being an increase of $4,000 over the precedingyear, and $25,000 over the year 187879. The taxes for the fiscal year 1884-85 are now being collected, and the risult cannot, therefore, b( reported. The levy amounts to $1, 831,494,'divided as follows: For State, $841,526; for counties, $677,148, and for schools, $312,820, not including poll. It is estimated that it will requir $403,000 to meet the ordinary ex: penses of thq Government for the fisca year 18885-80, and $391,000 to pay the interest on the public debt. Thes amounts will be increased by sucl additional appropriations as may b required by legislation, and will b( decreased by the phosphate royalti and any surplus that may remain it the treasury. As these amounts arc contingent,andconsequently unknown he necessary levy can only be deter mined"when the General Assembli prepares the annual supply bill. THE PHOSPHATE ROYALTY. The phosphate royalty for the yeal ending 30 Sqptember, 1885, amount ing to $176,244.41, has been collecte in full-being the largest sum yet cov ered into the treasury from this source The yield for the year ending 30 Sep tember, 1886, will probably not excee< $150,000. DISABLED SOLDIERS. Commenting upon the recommenda tion ofthe Comptroller, that $30,000 an nually be'appropriated for a pensioi of $30 each to disabled soldiers, th< Governor says: "The State can nevei fully discharge her obigtlons to th< bravemen who, in obedience to hei call, have suffered permanent injury i health or in limb; but-she should con tribute, if possible, to the alleviatioi of the wants of snch of them as ar without the means of support, and art incapacitated - for manual labor bi reason of disabilities incurred in th4 discharge of duty. While those wh< can claim this recognition of servicei to the State diminish in number eac year, the infirmities of the survivors and their need for help, constantly in crease." THE TAX LAWS. The Governor recommends a carefu revision of the tax laws, with vies to greater simplicity and effiency. TE PUBLIC scHOOrLS continue to improve. The number o pupils enrolled in the public school during the year just closed was 178, 023, of which 78,458 were white an< 99,565 were colored; the average at tendasce was 122,093, of which 55,663 were wrhite, and 66,429 were colored The numiier of teachers employed was 3,773, Uef'ng an increase or eighty-nin< over the number employed during th' preceding year; and the number o schools was 3,562, being an increase o: eightycver the number in operatioi during the year 1883-84. The lengt] of the school term was three and half months, a decrease of half month. The total amount of funds available for school ,purposes durinj the year 1883-84, the latest period foi which reports are attainable, was $515,580.38, of which $441,599.37 was collected durin the year, and $73, 981.01 consi'e of unexpended bal ances bronght.forward from previon years. The' total amount expeudei was $428,419.31. The=Governor urges the adoption o some measure by which the schoo fund mnay -"catch, up" for the "los year", and teachiels be paid. Thearious educational institution of the'State are in a flourishing con tion. The State Military Academy nos has four elasses, the full number pro vided for in the course of instruction and during the coming year it wil -snd forth its first class of graduate since its reorganization in October 1882. There are now 206 students al the Seuth Carolina College, and it i likely that the nunsbsr will reach 23( shortly. "The present attendance is th< largest since the war. In conmcluding his remarks on the College, the Gov ernor satis: "The leading States o: the Northwest and our sister Common wealth. of the South are rapidly build ing up their institutions of highe1 learning. North Carolina has recently strengthened her university by largel: increased appropriations and by tbh addition of several new chairs, auc Virginia has within the last th~ree yeari given over*100,000 to her chief seat o: learning. Mssissippi has granted het Agiatarar College more than $200, 0, and. Aliabama and Georgia havc appropeiatid large sums for the estab lishment and snpport of technical schools in connection with their Statt colleges. 1Tese appropriations are sums safely invested, promising large and speedy returns to the people. Such wise amid liberal legislation-the policy of the moat progressive State! of the day-was the rale in our own State from the early days of the cen tury down to~1861. Never has it been more needed than now, when success in every pursuitor calling can only be achieved by izitelligent and well directed, or, In':other words, by edu oated effort." TBR-PITENTIART receives its dae-share of attention. The whole number of convicts in confine. meat during the year was 1, 453. The number on the 31st day of October was 945, a decrease of 11 as eoumpared with the corresponding pe. riod of last year. Of this number 826 were coloredl males, 39 colored females, 756 white males and 5 white females. The cash receipts for the fiscal year were $65,532.16. To this amount, as showtng the earnings of the prisn. must be added $10 917.64 due by cdii tractors, making $76,449.80 as the total income for the year. The dis bursements to October 31 were S6T, 631.55. To this sum should be added $5,000 due in bank, which will be paid from the amounts to be collected from the contractors, making the disburse ments for the year $62,631.56. The income of the penitentiary has been diminished by the inability of the directors to hire out convicts nuder the restrictions contained in the late Act on the subject. The Governor suggests that the directors be authorized to take con tracts for specific A ork to be done un der the supervision of the penitentiary officers. and that the State buv land to be cultivated by the convicts on a large scale. He also urges the estab lishment of a reformatory school. Con cerning the Canal, the manager states in his report that, in his opinion, more than half of the work necessary for the completion of the same is already fin ished. THE LUNATIC ASYLUM has 859 patients, of whom 216 were admitted during the last fiscal year. The whole appropriation now asked for is $39,000 less than for the year just closed. In the matter of reforming our svs tem of CRIMINAL COURTS the Governor prefers an increase of the number of Circuit Judges, rather than the establishment of County Courts. If the trial justices are to be retained, he thinks thev should receive stated I salaries, and be appointed on the re commendation* of the Circuit Solici tors. The message recommends the early taking of a census of the State. TME DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. The annual report of the department of agriculture for 1885 includes tho re ports of the commissioner, the chemist, the special assistant in the phosphate department and the superintendent of fisheries. These reports furnish de tailed statements of the operations for the year, showirg the varied and im portiant duties with which the de partment is charged. The regular work of the department has been fully equal to that of previous years, and much of the time of the commissioner and his assistants has been given to the State's exhibit at the World's Industrial and Cotton Centen - nial Exposition. This exhibit was made by direction of the Legislature, and represented the natural resources Iand manufactured products of the State. The commissioner makes a full report, showing the extent and character of the exhibition, and the results likely to follow from it. He thinks there is a strong probability of the establishment of direct trade rela tions with Japan, in exchange of phos phate rock for ammoniating sub stances, so extensively used by South Carolina manufacturers of fertiliz ers; that the sales of fertilizers manu factured here will b. largely in creased; that the agricultural advan tages of the State, as shown by the products displayed, will attract the better class of farmers and laborers; that the mineral resources, as shown by the specimens exhibited, will re ceive the attention of investors and practical miners; that the splendid water power -and forestry of South Carolina, so thoroughly advertised at the Exposition, and now better known than ever before, will interest capital 1ists, and that the trade of our cotton manufactures will be extended. The Japanese commissioner and experts in wine growing and other industries have already visited the State, and the ffavorable imnpressions formed justify the expectation of good results from their investigations. IThe statistics compiled by the de partment show the steady agricultural progress of the State. In the staple crops there is a gradual increase in production, and each year shows great er increase in the use of labor-aaving machinery, and in the number and 1value of improved breeds of live stock. fThe board of agriculture has en couraged experiments in tobacco cul ture, and will take such steps as are inecessary to establish regular experi ment stations as soon as the funds of the department will permit. SThe department has a well-equipped chemical laboratory, and is prepared to undertake analysis of fertilizers, minerals, &c., for farmers and others. -The building contains the offices, the laboratory and a large hall for agricul tural conventions. The specimens ex hibited :at the Cotton Exposition were lent to the Agrictultural Society o1 'South Carolina for the Charleston Ex position; they will be returned to the department building in Columbia, and will form the nucleus for a permanent museum. CONCLUsIoN. In closing his message the Governor says: "In conclusion, I invoke yonr attention to the responsible duties for which you are nowv assembled, with the sincere wish and the confident hope that your labors may be wisely direct ed to the advancement of the best in terests of the people." The Old. Old Story. Why do we hear so much about dys pepsia? Simply because so many peo ple it. Why are so many people talk ing about their cure from this dreadful disease? Simply because they have been taking Brown's Iron Bitters. Thus it is with Mrs. Taylor, of Lynch burg, Sumter county, S. C., who says, "I have nsed Brown's -Iron Bitters for dyspepsia with most favorable results. I believe this medicine is all that it represented." Dyspeptics and suffer ers from neuralgia, weakness, etc., should try it.* -The annual meeting of the stock holders of the Anderson Farmers' and Mechanics' Fair Association was held on Wednesday, November 11, and, after paying all expenses, declared a divisioni of assets which will pay 150 25-100 per cent. on the original stock. .The association retains its charter, and a new orgaization will probably be ef fected in the future. A Blind and Deaf Woman. Miss Minnie Wallace, of Atlanta, lost her hearing, her sight and sense of taste. Sores covered her body and limbs. Ilei joints were swollen and'painful, her limbs paralyzed, appetite lost, and she was eking out a miserable life. Six bottles of B. B. B. restored her sight and hearing, relieved all aches and pai, added flesh and strength and she is no~ well woman. Write to her. A prominent Alabama physiciatn said: "A patient who was almost dying from the effects of Tertiary Syphillis and who had been treated by several noted physicians without benefit, usedl one dozen bottles of B. B. B. and was entirely cured. He had ulcers on his arms and the bones protruded through the flesh and skin at the elbow, AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT. The Old Fields of the South. When a Northern farmer passes through the Southern States, he is sur prised, and pained-if of a sensitive nature--to see so many seemingly bar ren fields; bare, excepting when cov ered with the prevailing brown sedge of the various, exceedingly poor, creeping plants called Japan clover, which include several kinds of Lespe dza. These old fields are scarred with gnllies, or washez, caused by the heav rains, which loosen the fine red clay and carry it down the slopes. Naturally, a stranger thinks these bar ren fields to be worn out and worth less. This is a g.ieat mistake. They are turned out to rest, while a piece of new ground is cleared and cultivated, and after a time takes its turn of rest, and the old field is plowed up and cropped again. This is the Southern substitue for manure, and is really a method-an exceedingly poor one, it is true-of fallowing. These fields have never been plowed, to use this word in its true sense. rhev have been scratched over, but the soil has never been turned, and when a Northel z farmer, or an awakened Southern planter, tears up this soil with a good turning plow, and seeds it down to grass and clover, the yield is quite equal to that of a good field on a Northern farm. The writer has a field of thirty acres of clover and Tim othy on land of this character, b~roken up 'last summer (1884), in August, plowed twice, harrowed up three timns, and sown with the clover and grass alone. This has been mowed twice for hay, yielding, in all, three tons per acre, and the aftermath is now (November) knee-hige, and would make the finest pasture, were it not saved for turning under in the spring. Another old field, seeded with Tim othy and clover with oats, has a per tect stand; not a seed seems to have failed to grow, and is better than the writer .as :ver grown at the North in thirty years' experience. This seems to be the most profitable way to treat old fields in the South, and if South ern farmers would adopt this plan, and feed stock on the grass in the winter, the greatest on the fair face of the South would be covered with beauty and turned to profit. Among the characteristic plants of the old fields, iu many localities, are seedling pines, which are so generallg found in them, as to give the tree the name of Old Field Pine, also call Loblolly Pine. The H*g for the South. In a late number you ask to hear from your readers wio have tried the Jersey Reds. They were introduced here 7 or 8 vears ago from New Jer sey, the writer taking several. They were not found adapted to the circum stances and needs of the Sonthern farmer and were promptly discarded. They are doubtless a grand hog at their home in the North, (so are the Chester whites, which are utterly worthless here), but in the Gulf States they will not prove at all satisfactory. The New Orleans Times Democrat and the Southern Live-Stock Journal are both perfectly correct when they te!ach and continue to teach that the Southern farmer must take his choice of breeds from the blacks-Essex, Berkshire and Poland China. 'Lhe Essex is the prettiest hog of them all -a model of gentleness and quietness, always fat-no matter how kept-and his progeny of the tommon sow is unequalled by any other male. But the breed is rather small and I always had trouble in gettine the young pigs started--in fact, far too many of them are born dead, (I ant speaking of the pure-br-ed). For this reason I gave them up, though with great reluctance. The Berkshire is wvell known. His blood cour-ses in the veins of thousands of good hogs all over the land. Any where can be heard "part Berkshire," as ample proof that a hog is a good one. But with his many good points -not forgetting that most excellent meat-he is too much inclined to be mischievous and even viscious and is not to be tolorated where ranges and fances are not firstelass, and when they can not be kept separate from the stock. The Poland Chinas are not so generally known. Somewhat coarser than the blacks, they have all their good points, but are free from the ob jections that lie against those breeds. They are lar-ge, yet quiet as the Essex -almost any sort will control them; the sows are most excellent mothers (Mr-. Pierson's statement to the contra ry notwithstanding). The pigs starts off promptly, grow well and fatten well at any age. As Mr. P. says, they are "a good corn-crib hog andi lard producer" and that is highl commen dation; for twist aud whip around thc matter as we may, we have not solved the problem of a suitable substitute for corn af a pork producer, and the hog that pays-pays always-and pays heavily for the corn he consumes is thle hog for the South. I will add in conclusion Mr-. Editor that I have spent a great deal of money and titne and patience in the endeavor to satisfy inyself as to which was the best hog for this section-have tried all the breeds I thought worth while to try-the ble whites and the little whites, the derseys and all the blacks. And the above statements ar-e based onmy individual experience.- Vaniz Cutttng and Caring Corn Fodder. The enthusiastic advocates of ensi lagre, hlaveaccmplished one good thing -they have shown the value of Indian corn as a fodder ct-op. Those of us who have no silos, mnust continue to use the old method of drying and pre serving the fodder. The silo adds nothing to the value of the fodder. In other words, we may get out of the silo all the food that goes in, but no0 more. And so with the dr-ied corn fodder. We may so cnre and dr-y the corn so as to retain all the nutriment there is in it. On the other hand, we can loose nut riment in the silo, from excessive fer mentationl and otherwise; and we can very easily lose equally as much, from exposure of the dr-ying or dried fodder to rain, or from mold in tihe bundles, shocks or in stacks. In fact, I have never yet been able tstack corn fodder, or to keel) it in bulk in tho 1:any for any length of time, without considerable injury and loss. In my experience, the most econo mical way of raising and curing cot-n fodder is, :first, to sow early on good land, in rows wide enough apart to admit the use of the horse-hoe or cutl tivator. Second, to keep the land well cultivated, as long as you get through tile rows with a horse. Third, common field corn will make good fd,:er. A large variety of Southern corn, will give, possibly, a large pro duct per acre, but the smaller and ea,.lia o yrieties of flint oren will giive A SWINDLING SCHEME. Shyster Lawyers Planning to Fleece Ex' Confederate Soldiers. A dispatch fron Washington to the Indianapolis Journal says: "Efforts have already bee::begun by the sharpers here to "work" the cred ulous and unsophisticated ex-Confed erate soldiers. A tirm of lawycrr3 is sending ont circularn to the iln,r;lut ex-Confederate soldiers in the South, soliciting their clieitage ill procurilng then a bounty or danages froin the United Statesoen~et "The ci rculars coitain a pref:Ice in which it is asked it the partv rece'iving one of them was drafteld, conscripted or otherwise "pressed" into the Con federate service. If so, he is asked to read what follows. Then it is stated that the Constitution of the United States pledgcs protectiom to all its citizens, and if any of them were forced to do service in war they are entitled to danares. An appropria tion is expected froim Congress it is set tortli, to pay these damages. The English law is (uoted to substantiate this allegation. Each persons ad dressed is requested to remit $5 to the attorneys for the purpose ot' defraying expenses in procuring the appropria tion. It is estimated that at least 150, 000 men were forced into the Confed erate service, and it is intended that every one of them, their heirs or legal representativez, shall have an oppor tunity to invest $5 in this scheme." Robbed While He Held Up His Hands. On Saturday evening, in a dark and lonely spot in the road near Millers burg, Ohio, two masked men appear ed with revolvers and demanded a peddler's money. Ile handed over $4, which was not satisfactory to the rob bers, and one of them compelled him to hold up his hands while the other went through his pockets, securing about $1,000. They then selected abont the same amount in silks and other fine goods and jewelry from his wagon. The peddler drove to Millers. burg and made known the robbery. Five hundred dollars reward has been ofered for the apprehension of the thieves. T The Cincinnati Election Cases. The Circuit Court at Cincinnati on Wednesday began tie delivery of opinions in the mandamus case brough by the Republican candidates for Sen ators from Hamilton county, to1compel the canvassing board to issue to them certificates of election. Julge Cox delivered the opinion of the majority of the court, going at great length into all details of the questions presented by the different persons which were designated by the counsel as irregular. Thc result is that the courts grants the prayer, and directs the clerk to issue certificates of election to four Repub lican candidates. The Court announc ed the result of the vote as it should be after the corrections made by applica tion of the principles, followed by the majority of the court. This giveq tc the Republican candidates froni 33,47% lowest, to 33,734 the highest, and to Democratic candidates from 33,14( lowest, to 33,417 highest. Groundless Rumors. "Every now and then," said a prom. inent officer who is upon the mosi friendly relations at the White House, "there is publised a statement that the President is dissatisfied with one o1 his Cabinenmt Ministers. Nearly every member of his official household has had a disagreement with Mr. Cleve land, if newspaper reports are to be credited. Messrs. Bavard, Garland and Vila have been particularly mentioned as coming under the ban of the President': displeasure. And now it is again re ported trat he is dissatisfied with the Secretary of State. I happen to knmow that these rtumors are wholly ground less. I do not believe a President eve: got along with his Cabintet more har moniously than Mr. Clevelanid, and he has ntot, ntot ever has htad, any idea of making a change in the head of any ont of thte departments. The relations be twecen the President and his advisers are of the most cor-dial character, ani nothing that I cant see is likely to dis turb them." p oBROWN'S A IRON BITTERS Combining IRON with PURE VEGETABLE TONICS, quickly and completely CLEANSES and ENRICHES THE BLOOD.

Sweet corn is supposed to give sweeter stalks -perhaps so, perhaps not-a point, on which facts are needed. I know of no positive proof. At any rate, I know that common corn, sown early, at the rate of two and a half to three bushels per acre. and *ell cultivuted, will give as good fodder as I want. When cut early, say the middle of August, it can be made, with proper care, into genuine "maize hay," of excellent quality. Fourth-By letting the crop grow later, a heavier growth can be some times be attained, but the quality is not always so good. At any rate, I would cut the first moment the crop attained maturity, or showed in ex cessively dry weather, any signs of drying up, Fifth-I have had a great crop, that proved quite satisfactory, cut as late as the last of September, but at this season, it.is not an easy matter to cure it. Sixth--We cut our corn fodder with a self-raking reaper. Keep the knives sharp, and take only one row at a time, aspecially if heavy, and do not make the bundles too large; and any good reaper will cut the crop better than it can be cut by hand. Seventh-Let the fodder lie in the bunches on the ground for a few hours, or for a day or two, to partially cure. Then bind up into small bundles. Eighth-Set the bundles up into small, compact stacks, and cap them with a "rider," made by tying two sheaves together and placing them with the butts up, on tlie topof the shock,so as to shed the rain. If well done, this will protect it. Ninth-Nothing more need be done until late in the fall, except to set up any shocks or bundles that are blown down, or, more likely, be so spread out at the bottom as to be expcsed to the rain. Tenth-In these stooks, the corn fodder, especially that which is cut early, will get thoroughly cured, and one who has had no experience with corn fodder, will be likely to think that such well cured "maize hay," may be put in a stack or bay, like bundles of wheat or corn stalks. But such is not the case, and the practical way of handling a dozen or more acres of heavy corn fodder is, to make it into large stooks in the field, and let them remain there until needed for feeding in the winter. Three rows of the smaller stooks are made into one row of large stooks, or if the crop is not very heavy, five rows may be taken, two on each side of the center row, where the large stooks are to be made. The larger the stooks, provided they can be compactly make, and gradually tapering to a point, the better. The top should be securely tied with two bands. We sometimes use tarred rope, but nothing is better than willow twigs for ties. See that every part of the work is well done. The first bundles of the large stook should stand upright, and two men, standing on opposite sides of the stook, should press the bundles togetiter as tight as possible, and con tinue to do so as More are added. Especially press or kick the butts of the bundles compactly together. A sprawling stook will be more or dam aged by snow and ice, and the butts will be frozen together, and it is then not an easy matter to pitch the bun dles in the winter. If these large stooks are well made, there need be little loss, and no difficulty in handling t he fodder.-American Agricu ltural ist. THlE NEWS OF THE STATE.

C. II. ROBERTS, Atlanta Water Works. HERE'S ANOTHER. I am a merchant of Atlanta; and am near 60 years of age. My kidneys have been inactive and irregular for many years, A attended with excruciating pain in the fmall of the back. At times I became too Iervous to attend to business. My case had all the attention that money could secure, but oitlv to result in a complete A failure. B. B. B. was rt-conuniended, and to say that its action on in was magical would be a mild term. One bottle made mue feel like a new mian-just like I was young again. In all my life I never used so po0w erful andl potenta remedy. For the blood andt the kidneys it is the best I ever saw, and one bottle will force any one to praise it. A. L. I). Sold by all druggists.
