THE MANNING TIXES-; WEDNESDAY, MARCH 10, 1886. B. S. DINKINS, Editor. Farmers to the Front. The News and (ourier of the 9th publishes a call for an Agricultural Conventiop, to be held at Columbia, April the 19th, from which we gather that the Convention is called for the purpose of considering the ways and means to be adopted to give the farm ers absolute control of the Legislative and: Executive Departments of the Government of the State, and also to consider such other matters as they may deem of importance to the politi cal, social, educational or industrial interests-of the farmers of the State. The-eall is signed by ninety-two gen Vemen, the last name on the list be ing that of the Agricultural agitator, Mr. B. R. Tillman. A Convention of farmers would do g if held in the interests of the ers. If such lessons of experience and practical working as crowned with success, the efforts of the young Geor gia farmer, Robert Rood, could be im parted and learned at the Convention, the Agricultural interest of the State would be consulted. But is there not mason to apprehend from the lan guage of this call for the Convention, from the course of some of the promi nent leaders, and their evident aspir ations, that they are seeking high plac es in the politicalfield by appearing to be pwominent in the corn field? BLAIR BILL. The Blair Educational bill after a Tong and tremendous contest has at last triumphed in the Senate by a vote of 36 against 11. Senator Hampton zealously advocated the measure while Senator Butler was equally as earnest in his opposition. The bill will be strongly opposed in the Lower house of Congress. Our Representatives are said to be about evenly divided. Mr. Dargan, who is warm in his opposit . ion, says he believes the bill to be un constitutional, and should it become a law the inevitable consequence would be to give the Federal Government eontrol of the common school system of the State, which would be a misfor tune to all parts of the country, but an unspeakable disaster to the South. I doubt, he says, the wisdom of any scheme which tends to make people reply either in whole or in art on the belp of the Government, instead of teaching them the most important of all lessons, that their welfare de pends on their own efforts and self denial, and that the demoralizing ef feet of Federal aid is greater than that of State aid, because the persons who receive the money do not pay the tax. The substance of the bill as report ed in the News and Courier is: For eight years after its passag'e there shall be annually appropriated from the treasury the following sums in aid of common school education in the states and territories, and the Dis trict of Columbia and Alaska: First year $7,000,000, second year $10,000, 000, third year $17,000,000, fourth year $13,000,000, fith year $11,000,000, sixth year $9,000,000, seventh year $7,000,000, and eighth year $5,000, 000, making $77,000,000, besides which is a special appropriation of $2, 000,000, to aid in the erection of school houses in sparsely settled districts, ang the total fund $79,000,000. The money is given to the several -. States and Territories "in that propo -tion which the whole number of per sons in each who, being of the age of' 10 years and over, cannot write, bears to the whole number of such persons in the United States," according to -the census of 1880, until the census figures of 1890, shall be obtained, and then according to the latter figure. In States having separate schools for white and colored children the money shalibe paid out in support of such whit and colored schools respective ly in proportion that white and color ed abildren between 10 and 21 years old in such State bear to each other by the census. No-State is to receive the benefit of the Act until its go'vern or shall file with the Secretary of the interior a statement giving full statis tics of the school system, attendance of white and colored children,. amount of money expended, &c., the number of schools in operation, number and compensation of teachers, &c. No State or Territory shall receive in any year from this.fund more money than it has paid out the previous year-fromn its own revenues for common schools. If any State or Territory declines to take its share of the national fund, such share is to be distributed among the States accepting the benefits of the fund. If any State or Territory misapplies the fund or fails to comply with the conditions,. it loses all subse quent apportionments. Samples of all school books in use in the- common schools of the States and Territories shall be filed with the secretary of the interior. Any State or Territory accepting the provisions of the Act at the first session of its Legislature after the .passage of the Act shall receive its pro-rata~ share of all previous annual appropriations. Congress reserves the right to alter or repeal the Act. The bill now goes to the House of~ Representatives for concurrence. HOW TO FARM. We have no excuse to make for publishing! a clipping sent us, giving the history of Mr. Robert Rood's success as a farm er. It is suggestive and contains les eons which properly learned would~ make successful farmers of thousands of young men who are pursuing a course that scarcely affords them an independent living. We advise our young men to read and re read thisl article until it makes such an imnpres sion as to lead to an honest, manly tri A GEORGIA FARMER. Mr. Robert Rood is a good farmer. [hin browned, all fiber, slow and ea ;v of motion, self reliant and indepen Ient-he is a fine type of the young outhern farmer. "The earth is a gold mine," he says, 'to any nian that works it diligently." It has certainly proved to be one ;o Mr. Rood. In seven years he has made over $40,000 in farming-not by specuating-for he has lost $10,000 by that method. But by the patient tilling of the earth, and the siow trans mitting of sunshine, rain and sweat into corn and cotton. The story of his work is significant, and it may be improving, so here it is in paragraphs, coaxed from his own lips. "My father said to me, about seven years- ago, 'My son, I'm going to die, and I leave you $6,000 in honest debts that you must Pay." In six weeks he was (lead, and I took the plantation in Stewart County on the Chattahoo chee river. 1 mortgaged the place for $4,000 and went to work. The first lesson I learned was economy. I darned my own socks and patched my own clothes as they wore out. When I went to Eufaula I put a biscuit in my pocket, and when I got to town, ti ed my horse to a rack, and saved hotel bill. I ran a plough myself, leading the way for my hands. At night I lit up the forge and did my own black smithing, learning as I went. I never eft my farm a day, and slept only six hours a night." "That must have brought success?" "Of course it did, as it would have brought in ary other business. In two years I had paid my debt and had money in bank. I have made in act ual money over $40,000. This is my poorest year, and yet I will clear over $3,500. I would not give any man five dollars to guarantee me $3,000 a year on my ten mule farm for the next ten years. Farming is the safest bus iness a man can engage in, if he goes at it right." "What are the rules by which you work ?" "First, I raise my own provision. I now have 1,000 bushels of corn, 1,100 bushels of oats, 800 bushels of peas and 400 gallons of syrup now for sale. I raise much of my own meat and would raise it all except that my cli mate is too warm to cure it. I never saw a man who did not raise his own corn that made money on cotton. I never saw a corn raiser that wasn't a prosperous farmer. You can often figure out that you can buy corn cheaper than you can raise it-but that is only on paper. Corn raisers prospr-tha others fail. My cotton crop is. always a cash. surplus. 1 make my other crops carry the farm." "Next to raising my own corn, I count personal attention to my busi ness. I sow every bushel of oats my self, because I never found a band that could do it right. This fall I worked eleven hours a day with a three peck basket on my arm and sowed oats ahead of twelve plows, till the ends of my fingers were bleeding. In making syrup I got along with four hours of sleep in twenty-four, and the result is perfect syrup. I superintend every detail of my farming as this. Every back strap of my harness has a bag of moss sewed under the leather to protect the mule's back. Thread wouldn't do for that sort of sewing, as it would rot. Iron wire wouldn't for it vould rust. So every pad is sewed with copper wire. I never had scaldl back or a piece of broken skin on a mule since I've been farming. "Next to personal supervision is economy. Nothing is wasted on my farm. I have 120 tons of home-made manure composted now, and one ton of composted manure is worth three tons of guano. Not a blade of grass is burned on my place. That with the refuse of my sugar-cane even is turn ed under and enriches the ground. It is small things that make or ruin the tilrer. My neighbors use two or three s'ets of plow lines a year-mine last me two or three years. Every night I oil every wagon on my place, using cotton oiL Once a month I have every axle cleaned and the old oil rubbed off. This saves my wag ons. My stock and crops are all pro tected the same way. The poorest house on my place is the house I live "How about your labor ?" "Better than slaves. I pay them $9 a month, half in cash every Saturday night, one ration and allow each hand a half acre for potatoes and an acre for corn and allow them every Satur day afternoon. They work because they know I know it when they shirk. They began stealing from me. I slept on the ground every night for three weeks, bagged three of the thieves and now I am safe. When they are well I make them work and when they are sick I give them medicine fronm my own hand. In short they know I watch them and they work." "You find the life a happy one e" "The freest, happiest, most inde pendent life in the world. I have not been sick a day in eleven years. When I lie down I sleep. I ask no man .any odds. My broad acres are there and they are exhaustless. The best bank a farmer can have is his lad. Every dollar he puts there is safe and will pay him interest and principal. Many farmers sell their cotton seed. That is robbing their land. I buy cotton seed, for with acid phosphate and stable manure it makes the best fertilizer. The farm er is the one independent man." "I cannot understand," Mr. Rood went on to say, "wvhy a young fellow will stay in the city and clerk at a small salary with no future when a farmer's life is open to him. No man coul have had a much worse start than I did. Now, in spite of markets, weather or anything else, I can live a free man's life, with health, open air, exercise, and at the end of every year put from $3,500 to $5,000 in bank. This is not chance- It is certainty. hard work, attention and a little com mon sense. If fifty young clerks were;. to go to Stewart County to-day and farm just as I do, each one would reach the same result. It is no ex periment. It is the most certain of certain things." And away the young farmer went with a gang of friends who had called for him. Why may he not prove to bea type? Why may not there fol low in his footsteps a race of young farmers, sturdy and self r e liant, with smooth brows, clear eyes and strong Arms. Why may they not come to the rescue of our section from the dominion of western smoke house and cribs, and win for the South amid their corn rows a fuller and bet ter experience than their fathers fought for twenty-five years ago? There is plenty of land and more to come. Mr. Rood started with 2,000 acres which he has already cut down to 1,200. He contracts his arable once every year. "Intensive farm ing," says he, "is the policy of the fu ture. There is one war cry under which the South can command the situation. That is "a bale to the acre, full corneribs, a big compost heap and home on the farm!" Frankly now hasn't this broad shouldered young farmer, with. his steel-like sinews. I his untroubled sleep comes nearer to solving the problem than those of us who, aiming at glittering heights, are fighting and stumbling along the un even way. WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE. WASHiNGTON, March 5, 1886. There are many indications that the Capital will capture the Exposition which is projected for the celebration in 1892 of the 400th anniversary of the discovery of America. It has already been settled by public opinion that some American city must prepare to honor this important anniversary, and that it must be. the grandest Exposi tion the world ever saw. New York, St. Louis, Chicago and the city of Mexico have carefully considered the subject. But the great World's fair cannot be successfully held in four American cities at the same time, and public preference naturally turns to Washington, the Capital of the Unit ed States, and the Capital of the lead ing nation of the sixteen-sister repub lics of the three Americas. The proposed plan is to open a per manent Exposition of North, South and Central America, in 1889, the cen tennial anniversary of the adoption of the Constitusion of the U. S. Then in 1892 the World's Exposition is to open in honor of the 400th anniversa ry of Columbus' discovery. Prelimi narv measures have been taken to ma teri'alize this project by leading citi zens of Washington. The grand En terprise has been mapped out in de tail and encouragement comes from every side. The main question now is how to enlist Congress. Senator Gorman, of Maryland, has introduced a measure for this celebration in the Senate, and he says he has every reas on to believe that the bill which ap propriates $100000,0000 to defray ex penses, will be adopted. It is also suggested that a memorial, signed by forty or fifty representative men of the country, would evolve the result de sired, and that Senators would then have something tangible to work on. It is proposed that the buildings for the permanent Exposition be grouped arudthe Washington Mon ed each of the fifteen republics of Spanish America and the Portugese empire of Brazil to erect a 'permanent building for the display of their re sources and attractions. It would, in effect, be a permanent Congress of the three Americas, and something in harmony w~ith public sentiment, as is evinced by the numerous bills recent ly introduced in the Senate and House to provide for a temporary conven tion of American nations. Yesterday began another fair fourth of March, it recalled the great scene of a year ago when a new chief mag istrate, representing a new policy, took his oath of office and entered up on his duties. The year that has pas sed has been fruitful in events and at times the new President's burdens have sorely taxed all the resources of his mind and body. It is too early to render a verdict on Mr. Cleveland's administration, but the record of the first year will stand the test of time, particularly with regard to the Civil Service. The parties have squarely crossed swords in the Senate over the right of that chamber to review the Presi dent's reasons. The controversy will be taken advantage of by those who favor open sessions to urge their views. They argue that if it is wrong for the President to act on secret in formation, it is equally unjust and un American for the Senate to do the same thing. This position is a strong one logically, and is finding more and more support among Senators. While there is no danger of war or revolution by reason of the issue that has been so sharply sprung between the President and the Senate, alto gether too much time is being squan dered on it. The country is more in need just now of wholesome legisla tion on various subjects than it is of political distractions or questions of constitutional privileges. Our opinions of the President's message to the Senate seem to be di vided on strictly party lines. The Republican Senators hold that it was a needless and foolish misrepresen ta-I tion of their position, wvhie the Dem-I ocrats of the Senate consider it was an able, courageous and timely docu ment. It has stir-red up both parties and has awakened more party feeling; than has been shown before this win ter. The coming discussion is sure to be a bitter one. The House of Representatives has spent five days in discussing the Pen sion appropriation bill to which not a' single member has any objection to makeor a-nny amenidment to nronpoe. Che Senate is still wrestling with the Educationd1 bill which has drifted in ;o a bad position so far as its chances! >f passage are concerned, by reason of ;ome objectionable amendment. Senator Ingalls has just presented n the Senate a petition as lie said "of reat length and extraordinary inac uracy," signed by citizens of Kansas, vidently of foreign birth, praying for .he abolition of the Presidency. He aid he presented it with pleasure, ilthough it was "based upon entire misconception of the constitutiou, and ippalling ignorance of the history, to hich it refers It asked for Europe in methods of Government. Why is it that a woman always haughs when she is being weighed, while a man during the same per ormance has a serious if not an anx ous look? SHERIFF SALES.
