PXLd dCS AD POLICIES. A TAvZ WITH COL A. . McCLURE ON IMPORTANT TOPICS. The Editor of the Philadelphia "Times" Submits to an Interview And Discusses Some of the Live Issues of the Day. Col. A. K. McClure, the distinguish a editor of the Philadelphia Times, recently passed through Charleston, and was interviewed by a reporter of the News and Courier. In reply to requests for an expression of his views upon different matters now greatly engaging the public attention, Col. AcClnre said: CIvIL SERVICE REFORM. "In the first place, we have more professional politicians in the North than vou have here. We have a great deal of dissatisfaction as to the civil service reform policy of the President but it-is among the politicians who are so by trade and who expect Mr. Cleveland to do just what he has promised not to do. But there i? no doubt that the overwhelming sentiment of the Democrats of the North is in favor of Mr. Cleveland's policy; and tMat sentiment is growing stronger day by day for two reasons: First, he is iloing more and more to satisfy the reasonable wishes of the Democrats W filling ofces; and second, they are ting to understand better and better w wise that policy is. If the Demo cratic party do not sustain Mr. Cleve laud in his present policy they will utterly destroy the party ; it will go to pieces and be broken up-diiitegrat ed." "There is another thing," continued Col- McClure, "that is steadily streng theing Cleveland at the Nortb, and -ti at is the growing confidence in him of business circles, which, you know, are very largely Republican in the North. He has the confidence of in dustrial, commercial and financial men, and those who regard business as of more importance than politics. As to the dissatisfaction existing, there .is not one-quarter as much with Mr. Cterpland in the Democratic party as there was with Mr. Lincoln in the Republican party during his term of office. I have no doubt whatever that before Mr. Cleveland has filled one half of his term of office, unless some thing entirely unexpected and not of his own creation should ha ppen, he wilt be the strongest President this country has had sir.ce the war." "Are the mass of Independent Re publicans satisfied- with the Adminis tration of Cleveland?" asked the Re porter. THE LDEPENDENT REPUBLICANS. "The great mass of the Independent .Republicans that supported Mr. Cleve land, have entire confidence in him and heartily sustain him. They are very:independent, of course, and do ot sustain any person blindly. They _eqnat approye of everything he has done, but they have an abiding faith in 'his inherent integrity of purpose and in bi'ability, with all his embar rassments, to work out his policy and to make it a success. They are en tirely satisfied with him as President auqwrith his general policy. As I e said before, there are a great mny Redublicans in commercial and 4t nnial circles who voted against h~M,*o now have a great deal more . It~-n him than they ever had ina DmiatcPresident; and whilst he Mitost the faith - of a very few of tbe Independents, if any, he has gained . iljlath of a very large propornion of the miost intelligent business Repub -licans of the country. *ZOW ThE PARTIES ARE AFFECTED. As to the effect of Mr. Cleveland's * pini tion upon the organization f ilities Col. McClure said: The'facts I have just stated will -show that the effect of Mr. Cleveland's conusehas'been:to visibly weaken the ~or ~ ti'on of both parties in the THE PESmmENT AND THE SENATE. IHow is the President's course in the ccntest with the Senate on ques ~ions of removals regarded in the 1%orter?"hbe was asked. Col. McClure asid "Ale is very earnestly and cordially anstaind by the entire Democratic jiarty, and by a very large proportion otahe Republicans in his contest with the Siuate. ' He will undoubtedly be sustained ,by the Republican Senate." THE GARLAND MIATrER. In regard to the general opinion of Attorhey General Garland's relations to the Government Col. McClure said: - "All parties have absolute faith in the personal integrity and confidence --in the ability of Attorney General Garland. Yet it must be conceded that his connection with the Pan-Elec tric affair is a misfortune to himself sud a misfortune to the Admistration. --because it puts the Administration upon the defensive, and that is always - r itau unfortunate position. The chief misfortune of it is that it is visi - fle to the 'public that, in an impor tant legal controversy which the Gov einment has assumed, its chief law ~soffieer, and confessedly its ablest, is nbt in positir to represent the Gov ernent by reason of a very innocent coftnedtionl whiich he formed three yers ago in the organiz~ation of the ~an-Electric Company. He can in no waybenefit his own company or his own stock by any legal proceedings, -.or if he were to set aside the Bell patent he would either give the patent to Grey or decide that the whole thing was unpatentable, and therefore it conld not in any way benefit the Pan Electric Company. But at the same time it is a good sign to see public opinion sensstive on the subject." TARIFF REVISION. After a. very carefil inquiry on the subject for two days in Washington, Col. McClure states his belief that there will be no revision, of the tarif at this session of Congress. The Re publioans nnfortunately have consoli dated against a revision as a mat ter of party policy, and Morrison will not present a bill to Congress that the Democrats would pass. Besides, if it were passed by the House, it would not pass the Senate. SIIVER COINAGE. In regard to the outlook as to the suspension of silver coinage Col. Mc Uiuremsaid: - Theie' will be no suspension of silvercoinage. The silver craze is the outgrowth of the greenback craze with iner'essed proportions, and with a - goodmunsdation of right for it. The only diffculty is that they do not make a dollar a dollar. They might just as well make a 25-cent dollar as an 80-cent d~llar. But I believe that there will be legislation upon the subject, without limiting silver coinage, that will either .wt-e the silver dollar worthy of the nation or will hinder it from tmaking! any disturbance in the financial affairs of this country. I do not look at all for a suspension of the coinage, There i is no need to ao it. The country can stand aul the silhwer that can be coined it the%, will coin an honet dollar. THE NEW SOUTH. Concerning the people of the South, Col. McClure said that "this section is now for the first time in a position to begin a- rapid growth. Never before has she been in buch good pi ition to command the entire confidence of capi tal at the North. While there has been generally a confidence in the tranquii itv of the South, even before the clec tion of Cleveland, still it was al wa% s said: 'Wait until these people get into power, then there will be a dis turbance, a disposition to reverse the judgment of the war, to make prop erty unsafe and society turbulent.' Now it is seen that the South, instead of undertaking to disturb politics, has gone to work to command the conti dence of capital in every part of the word, to invite immigration, and now for the first time money, which is very sensittve, is free from all doubt as to its safety in every part of the South. Our large surplus of money and skilled labor must very soon turn south, where it can be very much better re warded than in the North. They will go to the manufacturing of iron and the development of coal, and the spi:. ning and weaving of cotton and all the various and diversified industries which those things carry with them. As a consequence the tide of Northern and foreign immigration will tu-n southward instead of westward, be cause the West is every year becoming less and less inviting to foreign emi 0ration. "I regard the prospects of the South as even much better than the Southern people themselves regard them. There is nothing in the history of the world that can be compared with the efforts of the Southern people to rehabilitate themselves. Considering-the institu tions under which they grew up, their system of labor which has been so vio lently revolutionized, and the necessity for diversifying their industries, of which they knew little or nothing, it is marvellous how they have adapted themselves to the new order of things and to what a stage of advancement they have arrived in a few years. Pennsylvania has much more reason to fear the South in the manufacture of iron and in the competition than any foreign country. You will draw a large portion of our industry to your section, and we, as we have always done, will learn so nething new and go at it. There cannot be anything more insane than the raising of cot. a' here in the South, where you have the bene fit of a splendid water power that never freezes, and where everything cheapens production, and then to ship that cotton away to bleak New Enz lnnd, and there to have it spun and woven. That system cannot la,.t in the New Soutfi. Whenever capital comes South, where it is bound to conse, there will be a revolution; and it cannot be far distant." FARXERS TO THE FRONT. Call for an Agricultural Convention at Columbia--An Address Setting Forth the Grievances of tho Tillers of the Soil. To the Farmers of South Carolina: Seventy-six per cent. of our State's population are actively engaged in agricultural pursuits. At least one half of the remainder are directly de pendent upon the far-mers for the means of a livelihood. We may justly clain, then, that we constittute the state, yet we do not irovern it, nor are the laws administerell in our interests, and few are passed for our benefit. We pay taxes and vote and there is no further use for us. These taxes do not grw any less, while our ability to pay them grows smaller year by year, and nothing worth naming has been done to foster and encourage that in terest which feeds and sustains all others. The negroes used to be the "mudsills" of our economic fabric; but thousands of white men-land owning farmers-finid themselves low ly but surely sinking beneath the waves to be added to the foundation upon which a few :nen and corpora tions are erecting their fortunes. tIn peding bankruptcy stares thousands in the face, while other thousands are overseeing their own plantations for their victuals and clothes. An insane system of farming large-ly prevails and our lands are growing poorer year by year. Large areas of South Carolina are .being made a desert to feed negroes, while the land owners, giving no thought to the future of themselves and children, stand idly by, or assist and dir-ect this skimming of a State, which, by reason of soil, climate andi geographical posi tion, mig-ht be made a veritable Gar den of Eden. The negroes will "go West" went the bones are pickt d. What will we do? We are "farming towards despair" in thus continuing to impoverish our lands by ignorant cul ture, but nothing is done by our Leg islature, or its creatures, to stop it, or to try to teach the people a better and wiser system. Forty thousand dollars are spe'nt annually in the State, three fourths of it spent by Iarmers, to edu cate men for other professions and pursuits; the farmers get nothing, and are left to grope their way tawar-ds the grave in ignorance and its consequent poverty. Even the pittance donated to educate farmers by the United .States Government is taken from us and ap propriated to sustain the institution at which our future masters are being trained. How thankful we should be to the good Lord for such generosity and wisdom among our statesmen, so. called! Apmai, we pay $25,000 annually by specific tax, which comes out of the farmer alone, to sustain a department of agriculture. A good slice of this is spent to collect the phosphate royalty, which goes to support the State Gov ernment, and the rest is frittered and wasted, so fat- as we can see, the only benefit received by the farmetrs. being a partial protection againist fraudulet fertilizers. A majotilty of the board of agricul ture are not engaged in farming. Who wonders, then, that so little has been done by it to benefit our tarming in terests? Four bad crops out of five and the consequent poverty of our farmer-s cr-y aloud for economy and reduction of taxes. But this cry, which came from every county, was ignored by the last refused to obey a plain mandate of the Constitution to provide for a reappor tionment of representatives by holding a nsus. It is small wonder, then, that nothing w as done to protect the arers against robbery by dishontest fertiizer matnufacturers. The Legislature which recently ad joued thorgh not corrupt, has been 'he tb-3ughtful andt inieligent 1a-ners )f the State cannot aflord to elvci " n ther such body of ]aw makers and lonstituiun breakers.

If the wisest and best of our farn rs thus assemble we feel and beieve here is enough of both patriotimsi and tatesmanship among us to find r.:ne ics for those evils; and, w ithamt renching upon the rights of others, nanhood enough to (emalunnd and ob ain a proper recognition of utr rights md needs. While this is essentially a iarmers' noveinent we invite the sytpathy and moral support of good itent of every :alling. Agriculture is the ha-i- or )ur economic structure anel suppoit he rest. It cannot rise without rarry in witb it the superstructure. There is among the politicians in outh Carolina an up-counutry and low :ountry. There is no such line of livision among the farmers. Our in terests are one. Let us come together rom the mountains to the sea, and, xercising the God-given right that the majority should govern, organize as rartners and obliterate this line torever.

Dr. Weiss, the attend ing physician, was hastily summoned mnd at once pronoutnced it a c sz' of wholesale poiso ningi. Measu res werec promptly taken to counmteract the poio on. M1ost of the victims suflered everely from nausea, antd twelve o! them are in a critical cotndition. An investigation revealed the fact iha a; who drank of the coffee prepared for ruesday's noon meal were sick, and the doctor 8001n found the coliec pyt lined with a thick sediment of puit ~reen. The vessel holds a barre! or more, and into this some person ht:!d brown almost four pounds of1 11is5. Dr. Weiss is of the opinion that had it aot beetn that the poison was too) ~trong, causing inlstant vomititng, mor1 Ie han half the itnmates of the almshou-e would now be dead. Was it Cancer? I have been taking B. B. B. for six or even weeks for something like cancer on iy neck, and I would not take ONE THOU. lAND DOLLARS for the benefit received. I had previously tried various so-called blood remedies, but B. B. B. is the be-t, the quickest and the cheapest blood puri er I ever used. I refer to any merchant >f Griffin, Ga. J. 11.
