MM~ IANNIG T WEDNESDAY JA.269 1861. B. S. DiNKINS, Editor. WHAT A REVENGE! In the late discussion of cotton weights between Colonel S. W. Nel son of this county and the Charleston Cotton Exchange, the public will re member that several afidavits, from outside parties, were published by Colonel Nelson, substantiating his eharge that cotton shipped to Charles ton, invariably lost in weight. One of the affidavits published was made, by Messrs. W. F. Turner & Bro., mer-1I chants of Clarendon. The affidavits contained no'ebarge or suspicion of fraud, but simply stated that the cot ton bales of this firm shipped to their factors, Messrs. Smythe & Adger, of Charleston lost in weight. What fol lows was told to us by Mr. RE. F. Tur ner, the father of Messrs. Turner & Bro. These gentlemen visited Charleston last week for the purpose of a settle ment with Messrs. Smythe~.& Adger, and perfecting arrangements for an other year. The settlement was satis factorily made, Messrs. Turner & Bro. receiving forty-seven dollars and a few cents, the overplus to their credit. A contract for another year was then proposed, but this Messrs. Smythe & Adger refused. The time for revenge had come. Turner & Bro. were re minded of their affidavits and told they must go elsewhere. In vain they protested that no harm was in tended, no charge or accusation made but only a simple fact stated. No, they had dared to disobey so great a man as Messrs. Smythe & Adger, not-; vithstaiding threats of prosecution, and they must be punished. It is very true that Messrs Smythe & Adger are masters of their own money and have the right to do with it as they please; but is it manly to seek such revenge? Because Ethey hold a posi tion high in life on account of the in Suence of their gold, is it right to strike such a.blow at the prosperity of their less fortunate fellow man? A country merchant, regardless of the magnitude of his business, is, with few exceptions, obliged to have some one to act as a factor, to furnish him means through the year; and from this necessity of the country merchant the Charleston cotton factor reaps his rich harvest , Messrs. Smythe & Adger have been the factors of Turner & Bro. They abandon them to avenge an alleged injury. On another person Messrs. Saaythe &Adger may have caused 1r reparable pecuniary destruction, but happily Messrs. Turner & Bro. are not solely dependent on them foxz assist ance. Was this treatmfetfTrer & Bro. :manly? Did Messrs. Smythe & Ad ger treat Turner & Bro., in a manner that the noble and the brave wouldI like to emulate ? Another question: Is their treatment of Turner & Bro. calculated to allay the feeling that ex ists in certain parts of the country that cotton shipped to Charleston fac tors does really lose in weight. These gentlemen cannot force people to be lieve that they are honest, their deal ings with their fellow man must do .that. HON.',AS. E. TINDAL IN NEWS AND COURIER. We have given the greater portion of our editorial space to a reportorial interview with Hon. Jas. E. Tindal, published in Monday's News and Cou rier. It will be read with interest by all Mr. Tindal's friends in Clarendon. The News and Courier has titled Mr. -Tindal Dr. which is something new to that gentleman's friends at home. THE IN~TERVIEw. Dr. J, E. Tindal, president of the recent Farmers' Convention and member of the Honse of Representatives from Clarendon County, was mn the city several days last week arranging for his planting operations next year, purchasing supplies, and visiting his numerous friends and acquaintances here. Dr. Tindal was the guest of Mr. Stephen Thomas, Jr., during his stay in Charleston. He is one of the most progress. nve, successful, and at the some time conser vative representatives of the agricultural element of the State. He has two planta tions in the western part of Clarendon Coun ty, near the Santee River, and, what is more to the point, he plants them successfully. In answer to a question about the crops in his section, Dr. Tindal said to a Reporter that the crops were not as good as they might have been, but that still they were not so bad as they are reported to have been in the up-country, where dreadful freshets had occurred. The merchants in his section re ported that their bills had been fairly well paid up, and the farmers, while not rich in money perhaps, had made enough corn and provisions to keep them from want, and were cheerfully making preparations for the oming crop, hoping for better results. "Any tobacco planted in your neighbor hiood?"' inquired the Reporter. "I think Dr. Ingram made an experiment in tobacco cultivation, the result of which I am not able to give 3 ou," replied .Mr. Tin dal. "I know that the experiment was un der the direction of his son-in-law, who is a Virginian and familiar with the process of tobacco growing, and I have no doubt that it 'will prove a sircess. I suppose, however, the Netes anid ounrier will hear from it.' The converatio~n then drifted to the sub ject of the agricultural bills introduced dar ing the last session of the General Assemblyd. one of which, the experimental station bill, was assd in a modified form, and the oth agricultural bnreau, was postponed by the Senate to the next session. after it had pass ed the House practically without opposition. It may also be mentioned that Dr. Tindal took an active interest in the passage of the Ciiudel and College appropriations, which were, however. not opposed by members who are interested in tho farmers' movement. Referring to the agricultural bureau bill Dr. Tindal said : "I think the Senate made a mistake in postponing the bill. It is not my purpose nor my desire to impugn the motives of those Senators who fought the bill, but I shall simply give you, as you ask it, some thing in reply to the argument of those who effected its postponement. The reasons that were advanced against the bill will not bear the light of investigation, and, in my opinion, the Senate will agree to the meas ure at the next session. Let me say at the outset that, as you will remember, I with drew the first bill introduced looking to the establishment of an agricultural college, and I did so for the reason that, in my opinion, the State cannot well afford it at this time. When the State House is completed, we can then, without increasing the taxes, under take the building of such a College as is needed. The annual appropriations now made for the work on the State House will be sufficient to build, equip, and start the agricultural college. Hence, I sought only to have the Legislature"furnished with such information on the subject of agricultural colleges as would enable them to act intelli gently when the time came for its establish ment. "To return, however, to the bill to reor ganize the agricultural bureau. As I stated on the floor of the House, the purpose of the bill was not intended to cast any reflection upon the management of the department in the past. One of the objections urged against the bill in the Senate was that it was, in ef fect, class legislation. This will not hold water. In electing a judge, is not the selec tion made from the lawyers? In organizing the board of health, are not doctors selected? It is, therefore, simple common-sense legis lation to select agriculturalists to manage a department which is avowedly created for the benefit of the agricultural interests of the State. "Again, it was urged in the Senate-for you will remember that there was no oppo sition in the House-that there would be too many ex officio members of the board un der the proposed re-organization. To this the answer is simpR euough: We simply seek to place the board at the head of the farmers' movement, as it is called. It is ad mitted that there must be organization and concert of action among the farmers of the State if they expect to better their condition. Mind, I do not mean their political condi tion, but their actual material condition. Now, if there is to be such an association, what better head could it have than a board established, supported and recognized by the State, in view of the paramount import ance of fostering, and caring for its agricul tural interests? Don't you see -that when the farmers meet once a year a board organ ized as this to promote agriculture will real ly benefit them. They would be enlighten ed by the board and by the interchange of views and experiences of the members would give fresh ideas, suggest new thoughts and subjects and thus help out the board in the very work for which it was created-the development and perfection of the agricul ture of the State. In addition to this the re organization will effect a very desirable ob ject-it will bring the members of the board closer to the people 'and make them better acquainted with their wants." -It has been suggested," interposed the interviewer, "that the farmers movement had a political significance." "I know that," replied Dr. Tindal, "but the answer to that suggestion is obvious. The passage of this bill would at once elim inate politics entirely from the farmara movement, if there ever was any politics in it. If, as we ask in this bill, the agricultur al board is placed at the head of the farmers' movement, there can be no lities in it. Te farmers' association wola have at its heae . board selected by the Legislature and confined by law in its deliberations solely to questions connected with the agricultural interests of the State. Why the bill itself would necessarily eliminate politics from the farmers' movement by making it one of the departments of the State Government." "You said that thereiwas no intention to cast any reflection upon the past manage ment of the board ?" "Yes, I said so, and I repeat it. What we sought to accomplish by this bill was to di rect the energies of the board in a new and what to many of us seems a imore practical and profitable channel. We want to take charge of the agricultural education of the people; to develop our agricultural resources by combining our intelligence at home and not by looking to immigration from abroad to help us. I allude now to the efforts of the bureau in the past to encouragefimmi gration by advevtising our advantages, our resources and our mineral and other wealth. What I mean is this: I admit the desirabili ty of having capital to come to our State, but capital is shy and as a general thing level headed. Capital cannot be induced to come here by hand-books alone. If you show to the world that our people are successful in their own aflairs, that our farmers are mak ing morney at their business, capital and immigrants will be convinced of the fertili ty of our soil and the advantages of our cli mate, and will come very quickly. This, we claim, can be accomplished by the education of the farmers, and this, we think, can be secured by the reorganization of the bureau on the plan indicated in the bill in question. "The plan of organization, too, is not new. The benefits of farmers institutes to an agri cultural community are too well established to be doubted now. The first requisite to the improvement of agriculture is to organ ize the farmers. In the New England States the farmers' county clubs elect the board of directors of the agricultural bureau, and these directors elect the secretary, who is virtually the commissioner of agriculture. There can be no conflict of opinion, no clash of authority here. I need not go over the questions that have arisen in our depart ment of agriculture under the present sys tem. The Legislature elects the commission er, and it also elects the members of the board. Suppose there is, as there has been, a difference of opinion on very material points between the board and the commis sioner, how can it be settled ?,' Dr. Tindal spoke at length on this point, giving many reasons for the reorganization of the department. The Reporter, however, mindful of time and space asked for an expression of his news with reference to the t vo experiment .1 stations authorized by an Act of the last General Assembly. "These farms or stations," said Dr. Tindal, "to be of any benefit to the agriculteral in terest of the State, should be organized and directed by a man of both scientific knowl edge and practical experience, for the reason that, in conducting experiments, many ex traneous matters creep in and have to be eliminated in order to get at the true result of the experiment. Men who have under taken experiments of this character will un derstand how easily one may be misled." 'Have you any suggestions as to the prop er person to undertake the work ?" "In my opinion, Dr. McBryde, cf the State Univ-ersity, is the one man in the State who can accomplish what is desired. Dr. McBryde is a practical farmer and a sci entist. He has both knowledge and prac tice. But he can't undertake the work un less he is relieved from class duty in the Col lege. I think he should be relieved of this duty, and then he could do the executive work of the College, and perhaps establish these stations. In my judgment no College president should be called upon to do class work urvl~s the institution is too poor to furnish a suffcient number of teachers. The bill, as it was amended in the Senate, is not exactly what was sought to be a.tained, but these stations can be of material benerit to the farmers of the State. I attach, however, great importance to the manner in which these farmu shall be organized, for unless they are begun and conducted in the way I eindicated,.it is doubtful if they will ac complish any desirable results." "What do you think ab)out the Citadel?* "As you know. I have never said a word against the Citadel. On the contrary, it, as well as the State 'University, has received my warmest support. I think that you will I find that the conservative farmers of South Carolina are not opposed but strongly in fa vor of education. In my judgment I think the course of instruction in the Citadel should be enlarged in the direction of the science of applied mechanics, but this, I pre sume, will be done when the board of visit ors see the opportunity of doing it. When the State-House shall be finished and the State Agricultural College built and put in operation, the system of higher education in the State will be complete. Dr. Tindal said a good deal more on the subject of education-agricultural, literary, and scientific-showing his earnestness in the cause, an earnestness which was abun dantly proved by his course in the House of Representatives. Washington Letter. [From Our Own Correspondent.] WASENGToN, Jan. 23, 1887. Contrary to all prediction and to some well laid plans, Congress ignored the Tariff puzzle for a whole week, and turned: its at tention and its energies upon the Mormon question, inter-state Commerce, Appropri ations for the Militia, and upon the bill for establishing an Executive Department of Agriculture with a seat in the Cabinet for its chief. Each question was pushed to a vote, and the result will be, if all this legislation effects what was intended, that "the twin relic of barbarism" will be rooted out of Utah; the people will be relieved of griev ous oppression and extortion from the rail roads; the citizen soldiery of the country will be provided with arms, and other equip ments, and the farmers will have an impos ing figure-head at Washington to look after their special interests. The President gave the first State recep tion of 1887 to the Diplomatic Corps, it be ing a long established custom here to pay the first honors of the season to the Repre sentatives of foreign nations. The official world of Washington is always formerly in vited to these levees, and persons in private life whose presence is desired are invited in formally by the host or hostess. Although the rain rained down and the wind blew f&i riously. the White House was filed with a brilliant throng on this occosion, and out side the scene was one in which rolling car riages, lines of coaches, coupes, cabs of all descriptions, banging doors, and shouting drivers played a conspicuc-s part. The venerable Mr. Co ran, Washing ton's philanthropist, cam, to the reception early and remained late, seated on a sofa in the Blue Parlor, where he received much at tention from the President's guests. Gen eral Sheridan, in full uniform, with five glittering badges on his breast, and his white belt worn diagonally over his shoul ders, came with his wife on his arm, and General Fitz John Porter, who had not been to a White House reception probably for twenty years, was there. The President seems to have recovered his health entirely, and after the fatigueing task of three hours of hand-shaking went to work next morning with more vim than usual. Many people think the President will call for an extra session of the Fiftieth Congress. The Tariff question is in such a tangle that the revenue reformers have little hope of doing anything this session. Unless Mr. andall does make a move, the controversy will probably exhaust in talk until the end of this session, with the prospect of an ex tra session being called. Hon. Frank Hurd, of Ohio, who lost his seatin Congress through too much eloquence in behalf of Tariff reform, is here now, and as eager as ever for tariff legislation. He is very anxious for an extra session, so that the tariff fight may be brought on as soon as possible. He asserts that public interest in the subject is growing stronger. A few years ago when he talked tariff no one would listen. "Not one man in a hundred cared then one rap about the Tariff. Now he says he gets letters every day asking him to de liver lectures on the subject. He thinks the administration will hardly dare to let the Treasury surplus go on piling up until next year. "Tariff reform has got to come," said :Jr. Hurd, "and the sooner the question is met the better. Let us have an extra ses sion." There will be a Norwegian in the Fiftieth Congress in the place of the late Mir. Price of Wisconsin, and he will be one of its great est men so far as expansion is concerned Mr. Nils Haugen is six feet four inches and weighs three hundred pounds. He is thor oughly American in speech and manner, however, having come to this country when a babv. Hie was educated at Ann .Arbor, Michigan, and has been in the Wisconsin legislature for several terms. He has been State Railroad Commissioner since 1882, and is also a stenographer, having made his ~iving reporting at court at one time. It is not every Congressman who is rich enough to take the stand against his ofiice hunting constituents that Mr. Perry Bel mont now occupies. This young Congress man had the courage to say at the last elec tion that he declined uny longer to spend h~s time in Washington looking after positions for the faithful. He was willing to pay for the services of a man whose duty it shoul I be to devote himself to that kind of work, he added, but he was not willing to give it personal attention, as there were other mat ters of greater importance claiming his time. Mr. Belmont was as good as his word and he now employs a man here to attend to the business of the spoilsmen, on a distinct un derstanding with the people of his district. Said he, "I am willing to sign petitions when I consider applicants worthy of in dorsement, but this running around the De partients in search of places I cannot be expected to do and will not." The Difference Between Capt. F. W!. Dawson and H. W. Grady. hIDING A CORNSTocK HORsE. Captain F. W. D)awson's speech in New York contains more wit, more wisdom, and more eloquence than that of Henry W. Grady recently de livered in the same city. Butt nobody puffs Captain Dawson or proposes to run him for vice-president, and Charleston did not meet him with a brass band wnen he got back There are several reasons for the difference. One is that Charleston has more than one man who has made a creditable appearonce before audi ences abroad, her average of brains is high and evidence of posession of a reasonable share of them is not hailed with the astonished delight evolved from other cities by such exhibitions. Another reason is that Captain Dlaw son took the weaker side of a living issue, while Mr. Grady reared and charged on a cornstalk horse in de fence of theories and statements agreed with and known by everybody. - Greenville .Neuv.

[From an Occasional Correspondent.] WASLisGTOs, D. C., January 17, 1887. There are ten books in the secret archives of the United States Patent Office for which patent attorneys in Washington would be willing to give'$100,000. They are the books containing the names and addresses of in ventors whose cases have been rejected dur ing the past ten years. There has been an average of 28,000 cases filed in the Patent Office every year for theklast ten years and a yearly average of 18,000 patents granted. Last year there were 35,000 applications filed and 24,000 ]patents issued. the largest number in any one year. On this showing something like 60 per cent, of the applica tions have been patented. So there have been during the last ten years about 100,000 rejected cases. These in part include cases defeated in interferences and applications allowed, but on which final fees have not been paid. Now good attorneys get fully 90 per cent. of their cases allowed and patented; hence there must be some reason for only 60 per cent. of the applications being allowed. The reason is this; fully 8,000 inventors every yearmake out their own cases and try to get them through the Patent Office. Not know ing the routine they almost invariably get involved in the meshes of red tape and the intric.tcies of Patent Office procedure. The difficulty may be slight, a mere informality, a defective drawing. an improperly worded application. an indefinite specification, or a slight interference requiring a few amend ments which a skillful patent attorney could make in half an hour. Bnt to the inventor these prove an insurmountable obstacle; his application is rejected and he gives up in disgust or despair. Applications for patents in the United States patent Office go first to the 28 princi ple examiners, according to the subject mat ter. If they are rejected, two years are al lowed in which to amend them or take other necessary action. If no action shall have been taken at the end of two years, such cases are treated as abandoned, anid are sent to the division where they are entered in the books which the Patent Atto-neys so much covet. Fully 50,000 ef the rejected cases of the last ten years fall under these conditions. At a low e-timate 25,000 of these rejected cases put in the hands of a competent attorney, could be patented. A patent attorney's fees on such conditional case.i would be about $25 per case-a gross sum Qf $625,000. Count ont disgusted in venters and those not able to pay, still an enormous number would get out patents if they knew how. But the trouble is just here-no one outside the Patent Office is al lowed access to those little books. And without them they cannot learn the natue and address of the inventors. Then again there are some 15,000 cases now lying in the Examiner's rooms awaiting the two year's limit. These are still more valuable, for if they are taken up before the time-limit ex pires, the initial fees do not lapse, while in the other cases they would have to be re paid. The practice in the United States Patent Office was not always thus. During Grant's first term, for a period of about a year, at torneys were a:lowe access to all letter books, and previous to that had been allowed ac cess to the files of abandoned cases, but there was a constant scramble and not infrequent ly downright fights over them, and about 1876 the Patent Office made them secret.
