THE MANNING TIME. WEDNESDAY,'JUNE 2, 1886. B. S. DINKINS, Editor. The Killing of W. W. Barrow. The unfortunate killing of Barrow by Shannon is greatly deplored by our people. Mr. Barrow was a young man of considerable attainments, in tellectual, honest, industrious and affable in manner, he bade fair to bring forth in maturer manhood, a harvest of usefulness. Mr. Shannon is from one of the best families of the State. Liberally educated, polished manners, and chivalrous, he made many warm friends wherever he went. The immediate causes leading to this most lamentable and unfortunate affair is enveloped in mystery and as yet beyond the reach of public scruti ny. Speculations and theories are rife over the country and in behalf of sim ple justice we would add a word of caution here. In a case like this, in which so much feeling is made manifest, it would be well for all good citizens who respect the majesty of the law and would have even handed justice meted out to withhold expres sions of opinion prejudicial to the ac cused, in view of the fact that we are living under the benign, yet powerful p rotection of our constituted au orities, who stand ever ready and able to punish the guilty, when such punishment is called down upon the lead of any criminal by a Jury of his fellow citizens. Before this tribunal then let the case be submitted, un bridled by previous passion worked up by discussing too freely, what, as has been said before, is wrapped in mystery. Mr. Shannon, though having every opportunity, made no effort to escape, but very quietly surrendered himself into the custody of the Sheriff, aid was committed to jail. It is a fact deeply to be regretted, that. our able contemporary, the News and Courier, while conscious of its mighty power in moulding and sway ing public opinion, without .under standing any more of this difficulty than the vague and indefinite para graphs in its own columns, should pre scribe "a rope," as the remedy. At the least, show a forbearance equal to the silence of its columns in one or tiwo recent cases, where an opinion might have been given, with the facts of the case, certainly more apparent, han in this instance. THE STATE CANVASS. We want to see the method of elect g our State-officers changed. With o-ewhelming Democratic majorities, as is shown by every election retur:i. we have nothing to fear from our for mer political opponents, the Republi cena We send delegates to Columbia, and they choose candidates-w h i c h amounts to electing them-and the gople at large in very many instane es know nothing of them until the set day comes along for them to grind out the samie old threadbare speech that has done duty-on many a similar occasion; and whether the people are pleased or not, they must vote, for the candidate of the party." The objection to this plan is, that many of the delegates who have to ake these nominations are them selves politicians, and can open the way for "official trading," thus secur ing the nowdnanion of parties, not be cause of their worth, but because they meet certain requirements of the pol We propose that the race be declar *ed an open one, and let as many as --see fit enter the field and canvass the State, county by county, speaking once in each county, and let all the *candiates be heard from. The peo pie can then judge of the merits of the various candidates; we-will have some of the best talent in the country in the * field, and the expression of their ',views on the various topics of- public interest will enlighten the people. This wIB. destroy the machine-like sameness of the present method and throw new life and vigor into our party. It cannot be objected that) this plan would be too expensive, for in a race of this kind every candidate would have to bear his own expense, and the people in every county would be too glad to break the monotony of labor by spending a day in listening to the speeches of their leading men; indeed this system would be less ex -pensive, for there would then be no necessity for outlay on the part of the Executive Committee in sending aronnd the "chosen few" to keep up the Democratic spirit. When the -canvass is completed the people might then choose their delegates, who could by having the merits of the various candidates before them, select our of ficials from merit alone. * * URRAH EOR PRESIDENIT CLETE To be married to-day, this even igat the Executive Mansion, Grover ClvlnPresident of these United States, to Miss Francis Folsoni, the worthy daughter of her esteemed father. Gossipers are effervescent with excitement over the event, and the newspapers are ecstatically happy. With commendable zeal all have la bored earnestly to lead our meek ?resident out of tbe labarynth of en tanglements belonging to bachelor dom to the felicitous haven of matri mnony. After marrying him, now let him alone. Don't attempt to share with him his domestic peace, but like Israel's hero on Mt. Pisgah, comtem plate afar off. Judge Cothran is quite a favorite *with the Sumter people. The judge is apolished gentleman and a sound lawyer, and we nope he may live long to adorn the Bench of the State. Some of Judge Cothran's friends want Sim to go toCongress, but we areout and out opposed to this being done. q The State needs him where he is. Sumter Advance. We heartily concur with our neigh bor in the above, and hope that Judge Cothran will not consent to quit the Bench to fill any other position. For Farmer Tillman's Eye. To the Editor of the Newcs and Cou rier: Mr. B. R. Tillman is a hard man to keep on the track. He is after the lawyers in pretty much the same way that Maine went for Governor Kent. But while he will probably not admit that the legal fraternity has or ever will do anything for the good of the State, he may at least be generous enough to relieve them from blame for the acts of the farmers. Hoping that he will do this and merely to- keep the records straight for future discussions, permit me to say that if he will refer to the other Senate Journal of 1883 he will find that a bill to relieve the department of agriculture of the expenses con nected with the phosphate litigation was favorably reported in the Senate, and, on motion of Senator Callison, was unanimously rejected. Mr. Cal lison was the Senator from Edgefield, a farmer, and, I think, a mechanic. - 1 & i REV. A. J. WITHERSPOON, D. D. This distinguished philanthropist who has devoted his life to the work of improving the condition of seamen, and-has established a "Home" in New Orleans, whose usefulness has com mended it to the press and people of that great emporium, will present the claims of his work to our people at the First Presbyterian Church to night at 8.30 P. M. Dr. Witherspoon is a native of the historic "W axhaws" settlement in Lancaster County, and a graduate of the South Carolina College and Col umbia Theological Seminary, and has many intimate friends and associates in our midst who will be pleased to hear him and bid him God-speed in his noble self-sacrificing work, a work whose importance to the interests of the sailor, and through him upon the world at large, has been specially rec ognized by the Presidents of the Re publics-and nearly all the crowned heads of Europe.-Columbia Daily Register. TIME. "Time is more valuable than gold." A proper and industrious employ ment of the days allotted to man is seldom attended by other than bene ficial consequences. If we look into the causes of misfortune, which mark the career of the human family, we discover that what is generally attrib uted to the over-ruling power of des tiny, proceeds most generally from mis-employment of time. Persever ance, in almost any undertaking, is attended with success, but if we pay at the commencement of a pursue and let every obstacle turn us aside and discourage us, we need never hope to attain the object of our hopes. Year after year is broken from the chain of our being, and while we sigh over hours which have passed unprof itably, we should take warning for the future. Would you gain wisdom? Make a diligent use of time. Would you fill your coffers with worldly lucre? Count the moments as they fly, with miserly avarice, for every hour lost in trifling, is a wrinlrle stol en from the brow of time. Be up and at your studies with the lark oh! youth, for with every year added to your life, the vigor will be stolen from your mind and the energy from your imagination. Mns. CaMS. Lm-NG. Charleston, S. C. Another Letter from Mr. Tilmnn. 26theEditor of the2eos aad Courier: Be fore touching upon other points in the work of the "Farmers' Convention" and the criti cisms upon it, I desire to notice briefly some of the arguments of the Columbia Rte'ster against allowing the Agricultural societies, in convention assembled, to elect the Board of Agriculture. The Register says: "The whole scheme provides that the agricultural departmen.t shall be put under control of a board elect ed by a popular farmiers' convention." "We see, then, over $200,000 a year that is pro posed to turn over to the care and manage ment of one who is to be elected out of doors," &c. The farmers of South Carolina have been "out of doors," so far as exertingany appre iable influence on State affairs is concerned, for many years. We don t propose to re main "out" any longer; and the man, or set of men, who think we can be kept "out" will find his mistake. But, as I hve re peatedly urged, the'board of agriculture has no legitimate connection with the phos phate royalty, and the farmers do not care to have anything to do with it. But we in tend to take care of the departmni't of agri .culture and use the money which we alone contribute for its support in such a way as we think will best advance and protect our interests as farthers. We will see that no more of this money is paid to lawyers in the Legislature for any purpose whatever. There has been a great blowing of horns over the resolution exhonorating the com missioner of all blame in this matter. I was not in the hall at the time this resolution was put and carried. If I had been I should have called attention to two facts. The commissioner had warrant of law for his acts as I very well know, and I attach no blame to him, but (1) Why the suits that had already been commenced a short time before could not have been transferred to the attorney general and solicitors may' be explained by the fact that the lawyars in the Legislature did not care to inti:fere with a case one of their number already had on hand; and (2) How came the Senate, in~ which this attorney is a shining light, to re fuse to join the House in taking the money of the agricultural department out of the control of the board after my exposures last December and make special appropriations for the same from the treasury? Was it a case of "Tickle me, Jimmie, tickle me true, You tickle me and I'll tickle vou?" A leading Senator was getting nice slices of "agricultural pie" and "the best interests; of the farmers and of the State required that the departmeut be not crippled by this in terference with its management." This same Senate has persistently refused to re peal the lien law, end the farmers in those counties which elect Senators this year ought to be very careful whom they sead to' represent them in that most "conservative body." I desire to say before leaving this quetion that I in no way inspired or advis ed this investigation of the Chisoh~n Island suit. It was a legitimate subject of inquiry and the vote of confidence in Col. Butler's[ oneration of all parties connected with it from blame. The farmers accepted Col. Butler's explanation as satisfactory, so far as he is concerned, but they do not approve of any such jobs. To return to the election of the board of agriculture: The Register says it is to be chosen under my resolution by a "popular farmers' convention." The resolution reads: "A Convention composed of delegates from each county agricultural society." There is a vast difference in such a convention and 'a popular farmers' convention," such as the one recently assembled. Those who have tried to build up a county agricultural soci ety know that the men who will take the trouble to give the time necessary to such work are the very best of our agricultural population. I do not hesitate to say that if the county societies have this duty imposed on them, it will, as it has done elsewhere, be an incentive to keep them alive, and be the means of enlarging their membership and usef alness, and this annual agricultural con vention will compare favorably with the Legislature in every respect. But this sys tem is now new or untried. A comparison of its workings at the North with our pres ent political system will satisfy even the Register, if it can be satisfied with anything emanating from the "untrained colt" who has suggested it to our farmers. I may be pardoned if I suggest to the Register to stick to its "statistics," and it will command more respect. The next question which has harrowed men's minds and caused argument and much unfavorable comment is the propos ition to double the privilege tax on fertilizers to support the college, &c. None of the re ports of the proceedings have ever given the argument I used to convince the convention of the justice and expediency of this resolu tion. It was this: The farmers will have the same privilege they now do to send their children to the University and to the girl's school, the same as other classes, and they will largely avail themselves of it, while. the agricultural college will be patronized al most soley by the farmers; but the main reason was the desire to give this college a liberal and pernanent support from the State. The history of the Michigan and Mississip pi colleges is one of the trial and niggardly appropriations. If this agricultural college is to go to the Legislature every year asking for money for equipment and support the old fogies who disbelieve in industrial and technical training, and cannot believe any "good thing can come out of Nazareth," would be continually growling and finding fault. The institution, starved for lack of funds, would fail to achieve the results hop ed for, and the "I told you so's" would all fall at my door. The last letter I received from Gen. Stephen D. Lee said that the Legislature of Mississippi had only given them about $30,000 this year, and that with that sum they could not keep the 412 stu dents now there, but would have to cut down to 300 or 350. It is generally known that this college has turned away a large number of applicants for want of room. It is shameful for it to have to refuse applicants for want of support. I have been accused of trying to "deceive the farmers" by taxing them without their knowledge; of "dodging around," &c. We have had loud protestations of willingness to support the college by direct appropriation from the treasury by those who were a while since bitterly opposed to any agricultural college but one connected with the South Carolina College. It is a queer way of "de ceiving" men to tell 300 of them how the money is to be raised, and mostly every newspaper in the State has published the plan, as I knew they would. I am not wed ded to this scheme. If assured of a liberal support from the Legislature to the college I will willingly forego it, but I again repeat that no farmer worthy the name will grudge this pittance of "indirect tax" to be even secure of pure and unadulterated fertilizers, to say nothing of the college and other work of the board of agriculture in hold ing farmers' institutes and conducting ex periments, &c. I am not dealing in senti mental politics or mere theorizing, and I can conceive of no scheme which promises so much at such small cost, and whether it is class legislation or not I always thought those who derived benefit from a measure ought to pay for it. At the same time we reiterate the demand that the tax on fertili zers be abolished, or that they who pay it control its disbursement. There has been much talk of the farmers "making the department of agriculture a power for good by co-operating with the comissioner," &c. As soon as we endeavor to do so by ask ing to have control both of the department and of the cemmissioner too, we are met with the cry from the worshipers or bureau cracy, "The conimissioner is a bonded offi cer and must not be elected out of doors." Farmers cannot be trusted with money; they might steal it. The Register did not say this, but the inference is too plain to be mnisun derstood. If one hundred and sixty farm ers are put to watch over that "agricultural pie," never again will any of it be wasted. "Mr. Tillman and his friends" arc not con vincud that this department is conducted "literally without expense to the people," and the Register well knows it. If this mon ey is paid by nobody, and does not come out of the pockets of the "people," let us raise all the State tax that way, and stop all this grtumbling. I will now notice The Keics and Courer's comments on placing the college under the control of the board of agriculture without allowirng the mechanics a voice in its man agement. I am perfectly willing to give the mechanics one on two representatives on the board, if a way can be found to secure a real bon'ia fude representative of that calling. But, considering the fact that the resolutions propose to tax farmers alone to sustain this college, and that the pro redat share of the mechanics in the land scrip fund would be very small, I think the farmers might be trusted to take care of the mechanical feat ure of the institutian, especially when all the intelligent ones among them realize that a diversity of pursuits and the introduction of manutactures among us are among the best means for rendering farming itself re munerative. But the Se'tes amd Cmrier has even found grounds to doubt whether we can count on getting the land scrip fund at all. I ac knowledge that the wording of the Act of Congress granting this land scrip is ambig uous and very wide in its scope, but there is no getting round that provision which says this money should be devoted to main taining "at least one college where the lod jag object shall be, without excluding other scientific and classical studies and including military tactics, to teach such branches o'f learning as are related to agriculture and the mechanie arts." That word "leading" can not be gotten over by any amount of hair splitting, and the fact that "twenty-three of the wealthiest and most prosperous agricil turnd States in the Union" have misappro printed this money by tacking on anagi cultural annex to their Stato universities, where law and literature are the "leading" studies, only p~rov'e that the prejudices of classically educated men have been too strong in those States to permit the law to be carried out as it was intended. Farmers hlave been sneered at and imposed upon since the world began almost. But indus brnal and technical education are fast gain-1 Eng on the classcta bourbon, and practical aien everywhere recognize the fact that the world moves, and learns something every Say. Whatever becomes of the land scrip fund it will not be contend.ed that the South Carolina College makes agriculture and the nechanie arts "leading" objects of study or ;hat military tactics are taught there. These "military tactics" are our cause of Iuarrel against the citadel. That institut on has the army oflicer as its instructor in* nilitary science, who of right and according~ o the intention of the law should be at the gricultural College to teach military tac ics." All the "real agricultural colleges" hat are making agriculture their "leedig~ bject" in other States have this WVest Poin t-; r as a professor, instead ot his teaching in merely military school like the Citadel or merly clansicnl school like the South Cnr-j olina College. But there are many other stronger reasons why the Citadel should "go." It, in many respects, is a counterpart of the South Carolina College. The course of study is much the same in both institu tions, and it is not apparent to taxpayers why two colleges should be kept up when one can supply all the derand for that kind of education in South Carolina. It will not be denied that the South Carolina College, if it be relieved of its country cousin, the Agricultural Annex, and is given three or four more professors, can easily supply 'll the demuand for polite learning, or a "liber al education" as it is termed. It will not be denied that the State needs a technical and industrial school where the brain, the hand and the eve shall all be trained together and where a boy may reasonably hope to be fit ted to become a farmer, an engineer or mni chanic while acquiring a thoroughly prac tical English education. Such the agricul tural college will be if it follow in the -foot steps of those of Michigan and Mississippi. The military feature so dear to some peo ple's hearts, can and ought to be grafted on the agricultural college, like it is in both of those States, and the "cadets" can drill just as well and be just as proud coming from such an institution as if they came frain the Citadel. Gen. Lee's Mississippi cadets made just as fine show in New Orleans last year at the Exposition as our "dudes" made recently at Savanna'i. The ability, to "or der arms" with a "perfect cadence" does not fit a ian to become a breadwinner or add anything to the State's productive capacity. The war is over and we are whipped. The Citadel, as a purely military school, is an anachronism, an effort to rebuild a shatter ed idol which toppled to the ground when the Confederacy went down. No doubt the heart of the grand old hero. Jefferson Davis, the "man without a country," yearned to wards the Confederate uniform, and he longed to shake the hands of the youths who wore it. It is natural, and we hope it did him good. There is no doubt his kind words and flattering allusions to the Citadel salved over any rankling caused by my harmless witticism. Still the fact remains, and it cannot be gainsaid, that a merely military education is too ornamental and valueless in this State at this time. We need anything, everything, more than we do soldiers, and it is not just or right to tax the people to educate these beneficiaries and pay their board while many of them are per fectly able to pay their way, while thousands of other boys, just as desirving, whose fath ers are taxed to support these 'elect"cannot get even a common school education. By the system of student labor obtaining at the Michigan and the Mississippi colleges all students acquire habits of iiustry, and are also thus assisted to pay their way through college. The average cost o-ver and above their work to 3.57 students in the Mis sissippi Agricultural and Mechanical Col lege last year for all expenses, (except cloth ing,) board, washing, fuel and lights, &c., was S52,81 each for nine months; while six exceptionally industrious young men paId their way entirely, and these same six stu dents are among the first in their classes. It may well be asked why Sonth Carolina should pick out sixty eight pets, many of them well off, to educate at State expense, rather than extend a helping hand to any' and every deserving young man who is wil ling to try to educate himself? There may be a good reason for it, but I confess I can not see it. Is it just or right? May 20, 1886. B. R. TLr.s. NORTHEATER N R, R. COMPANY, PASSENGER DEPARTMENT. CHARLESTrON, S.
