THE MANNING TIME WEDNESDAY, APRIL 7, 1886. B. S. DINKINS, Editor. AGRICULTURAL MEET ING. The attendance at the meeting of the Agricultural Society on last Mon day was larger than usual. The sociO ty was addressed by Mr. J. R Tin dal, on the subject of cotton seed meal as a fertilizer. Mr. Tindal's remarks were interesting and highly instruct ive. We have his promise that he will give us a summary of what he said for publication. Mr. Jos. Sprott followed with a plain practical talk on corn raising, etc. He said, among other things, that his rule was never to take anything green off the land, but that his fodder was allowed to dry up on the stalk. That the corn made better by it, and there was less waste by the grain falling from the cob. Mr. L H. Deschamps being called upon, responded eloquently. He en dorsed what had been said by Mr. Sprott, and then addressed the farm ers on the benefits of economy. Earn estly did he endeavor to impress up on his hearers the great evil of extrav igance and the importance of practic ing a system of economy. The speak er referred to his essay before the Sumter Agricultural Society, and the strictures put upon it by a correspond ent in the Tnm. He said he had stated the truth and would again re peat whet had been said, whichhe did with emphasis. Mr. Deschamps was listened to with marked attention, be ing heartily applauded when he fin ished. The following gentlemen were elect ed to represent the Society at the State Convention of farmers in Col umbia: . D. W. Brailsford, 5. I Tindal, Jos. Sprott, Sr., W. W. Richbourg, R R McFaddin, S. R Chandler, T. J. Cole, L H. Deschamps, F. K. Player, and J. E. Davis; with Messrs. R Briggs, W. K.Bell, T. H. Harvin, R K Plow den, Jr., and W. B. Barrow, as altern ates. The interest of the farmers in their society seems to be increasing, and may be the time is not far ahead wh' 4 Clarendon can boast of an organaa tionthe equal of any other County in the State. Edgefteld Advertiser: Mr. Tilman's ideas, as expressed in his essays on farming, have the true ring, and I on ly hope that he can prove to be our Moses; as he has consented to be, and will have a well formulated plan for our relief, ready for the Columbia convention.-Manning Times. Our contemporary is wrong; the above article never appeared in the columns of the T=Ms.-ED. TMM. The Views of Farmers. -I - ParMer Timan Called Upon for an Ex piaunation of His Convention. be Edtor of teNews and Cou - rier: Having seen that some of the Counties are making ready for the Farmers' Convention to convene in Columbia, I would like to ask as a farmer what is the object of the con 'vention, as I can't fmd out from the call published in your paper, unless it is adrive atthe Legislature. The call seems to me to be the greatest kapsus calami of the age. It is like the . grating of the screws before the fiddle istuned, or like the harp whose deep er, richer chords have not yet been sounded. There has been, however, a light running over the upper strings, but the instrument has not been strnck by a master's hand. The call says that "we," the farmers, "consti tute the State1 yet we do not govern it, nor are the laws aaministered in our interest, and few areL passed for our benefit" I know of no Act detri - mental to the farmers that has been ~asdby the Wae Legislature. What w is itso very obnoxious to the planting interest of the State that the Legislature has passed? And should we complain, being the State, at any thing, as we, being the State, elected the whole body of legislators?'Or does itnmean that we will try again and plae ourselves wholly in the Legisla ture? If so, Ifor one farmer, will ob ject, as I believe, with Lord Suffolk, that the Legislature should be a mix ed body of Yarmers, merchants, law yers, physicians, merchants-nay, that every interest should be represented in the Legislature. We must have somne lawyers and a pretty good sprinklng of them. Blackstone says: "If a man or repre sentative do not know what the law already is, how can he make new law?" Does our Moses know that though taxes have been lowered that they must inevitably be high under our present Constitution, and will be just so long as it hang over us? And here comes in te only dereliction chargeable to the Democratic Legis lature for not calling a- constitutional convention of the people so as to make one by which we may have still lower taxes. I[take the call to mean aut Moses cruc mdlus. A~o'rh Ea F .m Early Branch, March 30. Farmers Alone to Blame For their Pover ty-Stricken Condition. To the Editor of the News anid Courier: [ have been rea'ding with great inter est in your valuble paper about the farmers movement, and while I am under the opinion that something should be done to assist the farmers out of their present condition, I can set believe that this can be done by assailing our Government and trying to attach the blame to those- who are iti office. IDoes any one believe that the cause of the poverty-stricken con dition of our farmers rests upon our Government? I admit that our taxes are growing too fast, but with this exception I see no reason for comn plaiint. I am afarmer myself, and I owe more debts than I ought to owe, .&a m noorer than I ought to be, but I do not blame our governineslt for that. It is my own individual fault. If every office in the State was 1 filled with farmers, I would not ex pect them to pay my debts, nor culti vate my land. I must do this by my own industry and economy. In my opinion the farmers' great need is to learn to be more systematic in their business, and to raise more supplies at home and depend on cotton less. We buy too much commercial fertiliz ers and allow too much manures to waste around our premises. We buy too many at high prices on credit. I would advise my fellowfarmers to try to improve in these respects, and to work more like business men, and to pay less attention to politicians and politics, H. A. MNns. Cartersville, S. C., March 30. Farmer Skelor, of Oconee, Not in Favor of Class Legislation. Mr. John W. Shelor, of Tugaloo. Oconee County, has published a letter in the Keowee Courier in relation to the approaching State Convention of the farmers, in which he says: "The use of my name for the State call is entirely without my authority, but inserted by a friend in the county call, under the impression that I fav ored the objects designated in the call. After carefully weighing the matter I have decided upon the following course as the better plan for our coun ty to pursue, namely, to discounte nance the present movement of Mr. Tillman for the following reasons, viz: The object ;- not the advancement of agriculture, as it purports to be upon its face, but a political movement in disguise to overthrow the present ad minitration; second, it tends to de grade the profession of agriculture by injecting politics into the very base of the agricultural societies; third, it tends to the disruption of the Dem ocratic party. "Therefore I do not favor the call for a convention, but prefer tofight in the ranks of Democracy to correct a great many evils, which I think need the careful consideration of every good and prudent man in the county who desires an economical administration of the government of the State. I could conceive of no greater evil to befall our State than class legislation. Our representatives should be men of broad ideas, soaring above the petty desire of each individual, and make such laws as are adapted to the inter est ofthe whole State. "In conclusion I will say to my ag ricultural fiends in the county that I will never be a laggard in advocating any measure that will enhance their interest, when it is based upon a frank and square proposition." THE FOX AND THE SER PENT, BY DR. EASTER LING. BLUE Bmo, April 2, 18G. To my good friends of Clarendon I County. GEmmms : I take up my pen with feelings assured, that none of you will object to hear once more from your old friend. So I have concluded to put off writing this letter no longer. Something of the sort is due'froni me to you. I came here a stranger (to nearly every one of you) from George town County years ago. Your kind-1 nesto me ever since that time, has made me feel as much at home with you, as if I were living in my own na tive County. And I assure you,- gen tlemen, that words cannot express the gratitude of my heart, for your many past kindnesses to me. Though I ap reciate these kindnesses indeed, yet, Let me tell you, they are as nothing, when compared to the esteem in which [ hold your friendship. A favor is al most an insult, if it comes not (as did those you bestowed upon me) direct ly from the heart. I wish you all a ong and a happy life. But as my pen is in my hand. I hope you will al Low me to ask another favor of you. [t is this: Please don't fall out with Democrats about anything of a politi eal character. Differ from them as much as you please, but always let there be plenty of room in your hearts for all Democrats, from Hampton down to every other Democratic gen tleman. Now I am going to write you a few political notes, for which, feel confident, that you will like me none the less. In the first place, the lawyers and doctors are not harming the State at all I am sure they are not making for tunes by their professions. We could not do well without them. "When Mr. A. or B. is sick, Go for the doctor and be quick." I don't care how much money the State piles up to protect both of these honorable professions, or any other business that depends upon brain and muscle. Although the lawyers have' the undeserved reputation of bad schoolboys, yet, when the people get in trouble they know very well where to go. To protect brain and muscle, (thereby encouraging learning and la bor) is encouraging a noble ambition, rather than meeting partiality. But the change in our labor system, unaid ed by partial laws, never could have wrought such ruinous consequences, as we behold in South Carolina to-day. No! never ! never ! never ! It makes my heart ache, to see a poor and op pressed people, who were once so hap. py and so prosperous, now in the very coils of a viper, whose infernal venom is poverty. It is possible that the rule of privilege has been turned loose and "goeth about as a roaring lionj seeking whom he may devour." If so, I would say to the majority of farmers1 in the legislature, (to use the language of another) "gentlemen, for God's sake pause!" If-isguised feudalism is to be tolerated among us, it would comport more with Democratic Republicanism, that the feuds be distributed by many masters, rather than by a few; and the State might cut off the tail of the fox and put an end to the frolic, by bring ing her percentage'law down towards zero. I am not blind to other mis chieous ca hsbt thev are all trif ling, when compared to the cunnming of the fox, and the. poison of the ser pent. The lien law is the serpent, and the percentage law is the fox. They are both governed by the rule of priv ilege. No man who inflames the peo ple of South Carolina against each other (whether intentionally or unin tentionally done) can ever get m y vote. It is well known to you, my friends, I that I once scorned to ride a hobby mule. The people did not send me to the legislature for the good and suffi cient reason, that they had wiser and better men at their command. It was not because I refused to ride that hob by animal. There should be too ten der a spot in every South Carolinian's heart, for any of us to think of ever lifting our hands against our own na tive brothers. Public inflamation has ever been the curse of nations. 0 let us beware in time! We should be true to our State and Country, (to use the language of Virginia's great and eloquent Henry) "despite of an erring world." I believe in no legislative or Moot-court conventions. We already have a legislature. Let conventions be conventions, and not presume to dictate law to the legislature of South Carolina. The people can quietly give to our legislature any shape they may wish, without the assistance of confus ion's angry blast. Public journais and i individuals may with propriety sug gest. That looks like harmless peti tions; but moot court conventions which presume to demand, can mean nothing but public discord. The farmers are too well represented in the legislature, for even the shadow of I an excuse, for any complaints beyond what we get from individuals and i public journals. Three cheers for I the Laurens Ledger and all other journals of the same spirit and senti- I ment. I told you when I came into this County, that I preferred your confidence to your patronage; and what I said to you then, I will say to day, to you and to South Carolina. I will write again. Your fellow citizen, JoHrs L. EAsTLP.ING. WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE. WASHINGToN, April 2, 1886. Three sick Cabinet officers, and three remarkable exhibitions of legis latives amenities, one in the Senate, one in the House, and another in a committee room all on same day, ar gue something wrong in the atmos phere of the Capitel and CapitoL In the Senate Messrs. Logan and I Teller indulged in personalities as far t as the dignity of that body would al- I low them. Each said the other was no statesman, and made several sini lar remarks equally caustic. In the House two members from Tenn. compared each other to the occupant of prison cells and to criminals who had suffered death on the gallows. And down in the basement of the Capitol, where the Telephone Inves tigation Committee assembles daily, a distinguished witness was infoimed by a venerable legislator that he was impudent, and the witness (Co. Ca sey Young) retorted by calling the Mass. Congressman (Mr. Ranney) a 'petti fogging lawyer.' The sick administration is convales cent, with the exception of Secretary Mannning. His condition still caus es much apprehension. Hope for his recovery is only based on the fact that he becomes no wvorse. There has been no recurrence of the rupture3 of the same blood vessel, and the par alysis has partly disappeared, but the patient does not gain strength, his voice is husky, and he frequently doz es in the midst of a conversation. On awaking, he resumes talk at the point where he left it. He complains of his beef tea and milk diet and wonders. why they do not give him something solid to build up on. The President has had a great deal of advice recently to the effect that he must avoid Mr. Manning's fate by taking more recreation and exercise. He has gained forty pounds since he has been at the White House, and his friends express consider able solicitude in regard to his physical condition. A prominent physician remarked that the present Cabinet were working sim ply with their heads. They increase in avoirdupois, and the trouble is that the blood vessels will grow soft and flabby, swell up, and then any undue excitement will cause them to burst. The advice to the President and his Cabinet was to get patent gymnnas iums and use them morning and night in their rooms if they would not take outdoor exercise. Even should Secretary Manning re cover it is fully conceded here that he will never again dare to resume the on erous duties of his office. As to his successor, the latest rumor in the cor riders of the Treasury Department, is that Hon. W. L. Scott the Penn. Con gressman, will be tendered that port folio. Mr. Scott has been prominent in the financifi discussions this ses sion, and he proposed some plan of his own for settling the silver prob m. He is said to be the richest man in the lower house, and he lives in a pale stone house beside Senator Stanford of Colifonia who is said to be the wealthiest Senator. The absence of stiring political questions in this country may be per ceived in the nature of Congressionald proceedings. The chief topics dis cussed are those which effect more or' less locally, the business affairs of the diferent sections. What we hear most about just now are the strikes. Representative Reed of Kansas summed up a good deal of the com-in mon sense of the situation when he 1 said during the debate on the arbitra tion bill in the Hou~se;" It may turn I out that this legislation mnay amountS to but little. It may turn out that it will amount to much. Suppose we try it, and when we learn.1 more, do more." The tenor of' the'y debate throughout showed that, how-i ever the partakers of it might differ , t about details, they were a unit in rec ognizing arbitration as tl.e key to the hol labor problem. Great reforms lo not mature liLe fungi. Jheir 1he i1nings are often feeble and their ev )lution the work of tinie. As Mr. Ieed svggests it is worth trying even tn imperfect measure and see how it vorks. When its faults are apparent, ,bey can be correeted. Meanwhile, he friends of progress will have the atisfaction of seeing the U. S. Gov. )y the hand of Congress, set the ;tamp of its approval on arbitratiou s a principle. That of itself will be great point gained. The Chaplain of the House hac nade no more sensational prayerE iuce a certain Congressman from New York characterized his praye thich referred to strikes as an "incen. liary speech." Dr. Milburn said hE had no desire to make speeches be 'ore Congress, and then it is stated hat Col. Morrison who is supposed tc ive all his thoughts to Tariff reduc ion, wrote the Congressman a letter dvising a more conservative course n regard to his morning invocations. -Ibevile JMes.ewnger: We have had an opportunity lately o see an exhibition of the power pos essed by Mrs. G. Henry Moore, re embling that of Lula Hurst. Mrs. Ioore performs all the tests given by ula Hurst and others that the latteI ever tried. For instance by simply aying hands upon the top of a table ;he could make it move so that bree strong men could not hold it till. The table being broken in the Atempt to hold it. This is only one )f the tests she gave. We do not 6ow what this force is, and hence ve don't try to explain it. But we re well satisfied that it is not muscu ar strength. In the first place Mrs. Ioore has no object in deceiving the )ublic and if she had is too true oman to do so. In the second place ve are satisfied from the actual trial nd experience of the force.
