THE MANNIG TIMES. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 16, 1886. B. S. DINKINS, Editor. The Democratic Executive Commit tee of Clarendon County will convene on next Saturday, the 19th, for the purpose of re-organizing the party; to call a convention, discuss and en act whatever may be necessary. Among the subjects, we suppose hat the mode of election, whether by -Primaries" or "Convention," will oome up before the Committee. It is too early to prognosticate. Had the question been put before the people, early after the last general election, the'Primary system' would have gone by the board, with a whoop! Since then there have been many changes, no doubt, in sentiment on this sub ject. The "Convention plan" has many features to commend it to the favora ble attention of the public. Less trouble, less expense and less ranco rous discussion. But whatever way the majority chobses will be the one, desirable, however, without attempt ing any disparagement of the well es Vbclehospitality of the County, left to the good matrons who so *n called upon to provide .Agi5 cheer" for the candidates, strounding in number and politeness, the "Primaries" would have to go to the wall. - 1I We publish elsewhere the letter of Gen. John Bratton, whose services in the last war are still so warmly re membered by the people of the State, especially those who were his com Tades in arms. Nor did he rest be neath the laurel shade of the hero aid soldier. Immediately after re trnin* home, he entered the honor able list of those tilling the soil, and has ever since devoted his entire time and talents to agricultural pursuits, in which he has met with full and well merited success. This letter will commend itself to those who desire he prosperity of the whole State, and vrther, shoyv in the difference of opin on from many now current, how men, n-the full'integrity of purpose, may : iffer, and-do so honestly. We cam adordsto admit of no division among ALand should act as a unit. Classi atior will bring about criminatiom z jecrimination, and one combina -n, will in the light of all experience, met by another combination, and t of the result?

Mr. Tindal's Speech Before the Clarendon Agricultur al Society. Mr. Tindal said in substance: I have been requested to answer some objections which have been urged against certain measures proposed by the Farmers' Convention and especially against the new Board of Agricul ture. This method of organizing our Ag ricultural Board is the same as that which has been long in operation in Ohio, where it has worked so well that the whole mass of farmers have been brought into full sympa thy and co-operation with the board-and for the small sum of $160) per annum for an alysis, eary farmer has confidence that when he buys guano he gets precisely what he buys-and furthermore, through the ag ricultural societies, the board is able to in flnenee all classes of farmers, while it is stimulated and reacted upon by them. It is so divorced from politics that Republi cans and Democrats who hotly contend for every other office in the State, join hands in cordial support of their agricultural in terests. The argument urged that lawyers could just as reasonably be allowed to elect t'ie Judges as that farmers be allowed to elect their Board of Agriculture, can have no weight with any man whose habit of reasoning has not been perverted. If judg es.had only to sit in judgment over the law yers it would be just and proper to allow the'lawyers to select them-but judges pre side over all classes of the population, and therefore all should share in their election. But, the Board of Agriculture as ie propose, will confine its work to our agricaltural in terests, will not legislate but recommend le'slation-will be to the farmers some thing like boards of trade are to the com mercial population, and therefore should be chosen by the farmers whose interests alone are at stake and who alone support it? Why do we always elect our judges and solicitors from one class, viz-, the lawyers? Because we rightly presume that men whose busi ness is the practice of law, are by that very fact better judges of the law. Is it not just as reasonable to suppose that men whose business is agriculture, whose time and tal. ents and interests are all concentrated upon it, are just as much more fitted for a boara of agriculture? It has greatly surprised mr that we should meet so much opposition on such a point. I have never found a self. respecting farmer, though well educated, who desired to be electea judge. Why should other classes who know nothing ol agriculture, so hotly contend to get upon the Board of Agriculture? Again, it is continually insinuated tha we are casting reflections on Gov. Thomp son and the whole Board of Agriculture, by wanting to reorganize this Board. When State officials execute the laws as they find them, they have done their duty. It is ou prerogative to charge or modify the law, il we feel that our interests demand it. I have both on public occasions and privately ex prested the highest appreciation of Gov. Thompson's administration-and if a desire to reorganize the Board of Agriculture is v reflection upon him-then every proposed change of every law ever amended, is a re flection on every officer that ever held an office. Now, my friends, what does this farmer's movement really mean? It means, first, the thorough organization of the farm ers of the State, if it can be effected. For what purpose? To improve and ad. vance our agricultural interests, and t< place ourselves in the same condition tc protect our rights, that all other classes have. The farmers are beginning, at least, to real ize that all other classes are quicker to un derstand their rights, and are better organ ized to protect them and advance their in terests. Every class is organized but farm er. The merchants have their Boards o: Trade-in every city-composed of met quick to appreciate their interest, and intel lgent to see the present and prospectiv< bearing of proposed legislation upon thel: interests. You frequently see in the news papers, that this or that measure will injur the "business interests," "will alarm th< business interests," "will promote the busin ness interests." When you come to inquire what this "business interests" is. you finci that it is the banks, railroads, manufactures and commerce. The farming interests, th< greatest and most important of all, is nol even taken into the account. Whether measure injures them or not, nobody cares Why? Because they don't know their righti and make no fuss about thema. They asl nothing, they get nothing, they pay all Let a measure be proposed which, will in jure commerce either in a state or the na tional Legislature. The Boards of Trade al once meet and enter protest, backed up be all their constituency, and by their owi newspaper press-and so of their interests They at once take alarm and are up in arms to protect their rights. Not so with th4 scattered, unorganized, heedless farmers Millions of dollars could be wrung out o: them .>y inidirect methods and they wouli not even know it. Are we not so informei by the Tariff Reformers? Yet, when we make an effort to do what we are advised ought to be done. What we know to b< necessary, what all other classes do, we art met on every hand and every side by the jealous politicians, and by the fears of mana who live and thrive upon the farmers' folla and ignorance. Think how little is done for our agricul tre. The Republic of France, we are- told spends 20 millions per' annum to suppor and protect. encourage and develop her ag ricultural resources. After the war witi Gemany, the first wise act of the nev French Governmenit, was to lend a helpinl hand to her farmers. The result was, tha in a few years France was able to pay off th< whole war indemnity to Germany, and th< whole people had risen as from the ashes to inspire anew the fears of Germany. After the destructive Napoleonic w'irs, ev ery industry mn France was destroyed. Shi had no manufactures, and no skilled me chanics. England held a monopoly ani forbid skilled artisans and manufacturer: from leaving her shores. Francs suppliet their deficiency by establishing industria schools or colleges, when science as applief to manufactures, was the principal aim o: the curriculum. In a short time Englani herself was amazed at the progress ani skill of France in manufacture. Now ir South Carolina we want to learn to appla science to our agriculture, and we wan skillful and carefully taught mechanics. I is a necessity of our condition. In pas days boys were apprenticed to 1::arn me chanics. In our generation the youtl have rebelled against that plan of educat ion. The mind of the scientific world ha! been more concentrated lately upon agri cultural science than ever before. Rapih progress is being made everywhere in a bet ter knowledge of the science of Agriculture No people need this increasing and expand ing knowledge more than we <co. But wher we propose to obtain it for ourselves, mos monstrous and exagerated statements of thi -cost are made and every sly and ingenio: artifice to defeat the measure is put before -the people. The economy of a measure i not the amiount of it-s cost but of its servic. to us. A man who spends $500 for manure: which bring him back a thousand, need no be scared at the size of the outay. Un 'Ithe man who spends $100 an dgets back 'JO0 had better not invest at all. My view o the agricultural college, and of all who' ad vocate it, is to make it the means of e lucat -.ing ourselves as well as our children. Th. -President of the Maryland Agricultura College gives the method to be jmursued which exactly meets my view, lhe says ~In order (for a State) to solve the scientifi problems embraced in the theoretical, pr tical and cxpcrimental methods of agrical ire. the educational work should be tw' fold. 1st. That conductod in the class-rooms with practical experimental illustration on the College Farm to the students. 2nd. Experimnental work outside the coli lege, anong farmers of the State, under the direction of the college. Uider this two-fold arrangement you have the farmers of the State, in every county and section, solving in practical field ex periments, problems which had been deter mined in the laboratory and formular of the college. The college would really have two classes of students. those within the college and the farmers of the State. The outside experiments to be made by representative farmers-say four from each county, in dif ferent sections of it-supplied by the Pro fessors with seeds, plants and minute di rections. In this way results could be speed ily developed, which, in the ordinary node would take several generations to achieve." In short, the farmers movement means the revolution of our agriculture, the education of our class, and to place ourselves in a po sition to command that respect and influ ence to which our members, and the digni ty and importance of our vocation should entitle us. We can see no reason why oth er classes should object to it. We make no war upon them, we simply assert our own rights-seek legitimately to improve our concition and elevate our calling. -. - -- Gen. Bratton's Opinion of The Farmers' Convention. In a letter to the Winnsboro' Ne'cs and Her aU Gen. John Bratton explains his position in reference to the farmers' imovement. He savs: I desire to b- distinctly understood as ac cording to the advocates of the farmers move ment the honesty of purpose and good faith that I claim for myself, and indeed have ev er claimed for the sturdy farmers of the land in public matters. The expression "to the manor born," with all the devoted fidelity to country that it carries with it, has ever been associated in my mind especially with the owners and tillers of the soil. Their interests are as fixed as the soil itself. They cannot be stored in safes, or boxed and sent off to foreign vaults in the time of trouble. They must abide the fate of their country, whether it be devastated by an invading foe, or rent and torn by internal dissensions and class conflicts, or calmly rests under the peaceful reign of law based on mutual con cessions. it they are not true in their hearts to the best interests of the State, where are we to look for fidelity? With no doubt as to their motives I hoped and expected that the Convention would be i :n e iective agency of agitation, and by its consideration and discussion of the agricul tural situation reach some intelli:;ent con clusion as to the cause of the depression, or, at least, throw some light on the subject and to that extent allay the unrest and discon tent which seemed to prevail. It was with feelings of disappointment and regret that I found myself unable to concur in the action on which it seems to have been predicated. I say seems, because in the published pro ceedings the grounds on which the action was based are not clearly an d definitely stat ed. There seemed to be a vague, indefinite idea that the body politic was affilicted with leprosy and honeycomed with rottenness and that amid this rubbish of leprosy and rottenness, concealed somewhere, is inask ed enemy to the agricultural interests of the State. 1 cannot concur in the idea that is floated on the air, not fixed and located, that injustice has been done to, or justice been withheld from, the farmers of the State by any other class in the State, or that the agricultural depression prevailing is in any way, shape or form attributable to the con duct of our State Government. The administration of o u r G o v. e r n m e n t s i n c e '76 has never been excelled in purity or in fidelity to constitutional obligations, and it will con tinue to be an honor ahd blessing to the people of the State as long as it is controlled by a political organization which combines in harmonious union the' conservatism, the intelligence and the character of all classes of onr people, whether the offices are filled -by farmers or not. If there is an individual or a class, organ ized or disorganized, in the limits of the State, in hostile attitude to the agricultural interests of the State, I will venture to say that he or they are so closely masked as to defy the skill of the best scouts of the farm ers' army to locate them. To my mind it is all baseless assumption-putting up an im aginary enemy in order to get up a fight. But grant the correctness of these assump tions-do the measures proposed reach and cure the evils? Do they tend to generate or call into service a healthy, sound, elevated, liberal and enlightened public sentiment? This is the only reliance-the single and sole agency by which rottenness in a - Gov ernment like ours can be reached and erad icated. To meet the assumed condition (which, by the way, has strayed entirely away from the incipient object of the Con vention, namely, agricultural depression and its cause) the farmers are called upon to organize as a class, to enforce class legis tion-to capture the Legislature to take what legislation they want. They are to call a convention of the people and reorganize the Government to sumt their views. In t ae -meantime, such institutions as the assems bled wisdom of all classes of the State have been able, with patient and earnest labor in adjusting complications and surmounting difficulties, to build on the ashes of our ruins, are to be felled at one blow as State institutions, and, without regard to cost con verted into class establishments: If the farm ers organize for such a fight they will inaug urate class conflict, in which the actions of men are governed, not by moderation and wisdom and calm consideration for the com mon wveal, but by passion anid prejudice. Will this, I submit to the organizers, call in to action that sound, healthy public senti ment that you need to cure rottenness in the Government ? it seems that one of the purposes of the movement is to take by legislation for the benefit of the farmers their just share of the public treasures. When the power is ob tained by such means to do that, who is to determine what the just share of the farmer class is? Who is to measure the grab? Where is the authority for distributing the public treasure, justly or unjustly, among the classes of our people ? When was it ever -done in our country, unjustly and indirect ly, as is p)roposed here, by class legislation, tue great source to which some of us trace the depression of our industries? I mean Fedendl class legislation, howvever, not State. But pjush on a step further. We make this class fight and win. And what do we as farmers, or our agricultural interests gain to remunerate us for the wounds and sears with which a crippled and debased political sent iment emerges from the contlict ? We w ill have lowered our standard of ed.. ucation, especially that of the farmer, by sub stituting, regardless of expense, a set of special chIss schools for our State University sysatem. bY special class education we will secure the perpetuaition of the class dissen sions and strife wvhich we have inaugurated. The State will not be allowed to concentrate her educational strength, and, in her in pov'erished condition, exercise the highest :ac wisest economy in affording opportuni tics for the moirl and intellectual culture of her sons, ad bre-Aing down class linies, train up to one he-arty, healthy, strong fain ily mutually. dependent, mutually support. inug and alway ts stugg' ling' together for the welftare, honor andl lory of their comimon miother. How~ this is to benefit the farmer as an individual, oi the farmers as aclass, or the agricultural interests 0f the State, it will be difficult to show. There is one assumption that I neglected to mention, which is correct; and that is, that the farmes constitute the majority of the :dominant political party of the State. This is a first-class gr ond for not organizing as farmers for p~oliticid purposes. as in that do nminant party only can they wield their po litical strength wisely for the welfare of the -Stat:: and for the benefit of themselves. Blut the prograinme is an appeal to them, not to aset thn+ entth ns citirens and~ Dom c.ats, but to organize it aud wield it as elss power for class purposes. This power is 0 be wiclded x thin the lines of the Democrat ic party. That is the avowed and, I believe the sincere intention of the movers and or ganizers. Will such a iovement contribute to the harmony and efficiency of that party? I- there any conservatism, and spirit of con cession in it? Is there not the shadow of the spirit that would rule or ruin ? Again-it is a farmers' organization to car ry out a platform political in its chara ter and other than that of the Democratic party. How is the membership of such an organiza tion limited to Democrats? Is it not unfurl ing a fiag that might attract even a judicious enemy of Democracy and under which he could judiciously fight? There is no provis ion against it. Can we afford this sort of thing in our condition ? Fearfully handicap ped by the weight of anewly-fledged and de based'citizenship, is it not suicidal to fritter away our strength for such a purpose, when it is all needed to uphold the thin veil of the law between us and a licentious and de bauched government, and with it, if it ever comes again, the debasement of our standard of free citizenship? From such a condition tiere can be no r,:storation for u-. The situation here in South Carolina de volves on us of the white race the highest duties of citizenship-requires the mainte nance of the highest standard of citizenship. While orators, writers and sentimental phi lanthropists theorize at a distance on the race question, it is our fate to be in the fore front in the practical solution of the problem. The vital question with us is-can we under the load thrust upon us, maintain a healthy, liberal, enlightened public and political sen timent, or are we to succumb and be drag ged down to its level? By taking care of our selves in this matter, we render the highest service ani do our full duty to the State, and, indeed, by thus holding up to his view a high and worthy standard we render the only aid in our power to the "man and broth er" in working out his own destiny; that he must, under the laws of nature, do for him self. But the point is made for application to ourselves and our duty in working out our own destiny. Is it not the part of wisdom, is it not the dictate of self-preservation, to concentrate our force-our intellectual and moral force, our educational and politic.1 force, our Anglo Saxon race force-and ap ply it to the accomplishment of this purpost ? How can we do it? The only -agency in our reach for effecting this combination is the Democratic party-the organization not of any class, tut of all classes-the organiza tion of the people. It was framed for the purpose and used effectively to lift the polit ical sentiment of the State from a condition of ruinous and disgusting degradation to a healthy standard, and thereby restore to its allegiance to the Constitution the Govern ment of the State. It is the only menns at our command for maintaining the ficielity of Government to the expressed will of the peo ple. It is the only instrumentality through which we can concentrate our strength for the supreme duty of the situation. So long as it will require of the officials of Govern ment fidelity to constitutional obligations in tlie conduct of their offices, and maintain the rule of their Constitution, so long may we await in calm security the development of the destiny of the black race. The Demo cratic party, with all its faults and shortcom ings, is our sole reliance, our forlorn hope, in the conflict with the difficulties and dan gers of this critical period in the life of the State. Can we afford any movement that will cripple and impair its efficiency? But enough has been said to indicate my views on the subject. I am forced to. the conclusion that the movement will operate in the opposite direction from that intended, and is a most unfortunate mistake. Its full est success would sacrifice the substance for the shadow, and, far from benefitting the ag ricultural interests of the State, would be detrimental to all interests and especially to the agricultural. But the particular misfortune of such a movement lies in the fact that success is not necessary to enable it to do harm. The mere persist ence in it will be like a fire in the rear and will distract and cripple our strength in the great conflict in front. In my judgment the action of the Conven tion was ill-considered and inconsiderate, radical and unreasonable, and utterly re gardless of the difficulties and complications of the situations here in South Cirolina.
