WEDNESDAY; AUMST 3,1887 B. S. DINKINS, Editor. -TEHALF WAS !O Tf U' Ion. James E. Tiu( ication published in charges us with n last weeks' paper, iIs ed before the Ag. ic U' Saturday the 21th this commiif':'O. "a hx e -s recapituladion of LIs meaning words: eTlls trsent "recognize the foro. ?nd no tmst "ing will construw L nean an on -slought on any class z.r town." Thus he insinuates that the misrepresenta tion was also wilful. We be'ieve Mr. Tindal will coUcec.e the fact, that an editor has the un questioned right to express his opio ions on any public questions before the people, even if the subject treat. indirectly of the farmers' movement. Then he could only have been misrep I resented in this paper by being incor rectly reported. We most positive assert that we heard him give utter ance to every exp)ressin attributed to him; and we are swuained by a nun-: ber of gentlemen who were present and heard him. But, althoug4 Mr. Tindal has left out of his recapitulation the language accredited to him, he has not denied saying it, but rather aeclares, "I never thought or intended "at any tie, anywherc. to convey any "such'impression.'' What he though t or intended, was not for us, but what he actually said, was for our considera tion. Now there is but one iuference to put on this speech : "the people of towns and the politicians are grind ing down the farmers," and that is, that they are the farmers' enemies and op pressors. Now if Mr. Tindal did not itend to convey such an impression, it is his fault, and we are not to blame. We did not misrepresent him. He said mor', much more than was pub lished. His speech, from this stand point, was an arraignment of other classes for the impoverished condition of the farmers, and as such we con demned it. The Tinus is yet to be convicted of misrepresenting anybody, much less one of its own citizens. In a private letter received from Mr. Tindal, he says: "I am afraid you "are not in sympathy with the farmers -in their struggle for anything which "would improve their condition es "pecially that they should organize." u'Or surprise at receiving this from Mr. Tindal is only Equaled by his charge of misrepresentation. Mr. Tindal knows as well as every other -reader of the Tiwws, that we have, evei since assuming control of this paper, used every means in our power to i duce the 'farmers to interest them selves in their~ agricultural association. Time and again ~te have labored to show them that organization was the greatest means at their command for their enlightenment and advancement. Clumns of editorial prove this. The people of Clarendon know it, our road ers know it, and none know better than M1r. Tindal, that we favor an or gaiztio of the farmers. Under these circumstances, we fail to appre ciate Mr. Tindal's fears as to our posi tion towards the farmers. We advo cate letting the farmers have what they want. Give them an agricultur al college, cxpeiimental station, and more if thov desire it. If they are benefited,~we will prosper; if they row rich, we will thrive too. But ad vocating the farmers' movement does not debar us fron1 protesting against a wrong. We are hand in hand with Mr. Tiudal in his efforts to organize the farmcrs but condemn the means he resoried to in his speech to accom plsh their organization-by an abuse of the "powers that be." If Mr. Tindal had confined his ad dress to his published report, we would not have said a word about it except in the highest praise. A~nd now, we endorse everything contained in his recapitulation. Charleston is to have ai new doily paper. Mr. gohn Meli e will be the proprietor, and Mr. . A.B Williams, of the Greenville Da'b: R-- is to b e the editor in chief. The paper wmU have plenty of financial backing and talent. The prospect is promising that the venture will be a success.

The President is expected to make a tour through the South the coming fall. Tt may be that he will come as near here asSumter on his passage through on the Wilmington Road. What a glorious opportunity it will be for ev erybody to see Mr. President. He will be an attraction only to be coru paied to the mammoth exhibitions of the celebrated John Robertson.

I laer t hout~ht or intend-ed at any time. ihere. to covev any such inu?IressionI. After the discussiom ol Mr. Des Champs' experiment, I took occasion to point out the impvrtaiuce of an Ex periment Station, and explaincd the legislation on the sabject. I then ex plained the object and the whole aim of the Farmers Movement-as First : to secure theorga:.int'ion of the farmers of the State iu a iepre sentative Association, under tie gi-d ance of a representative Board Agriculture.composed of our wisest and best farmers. Second: To inspire our people with more general appreciation of the nec essity of education and to establish such educational institutions as will secure the progress and development of our agriculture, and the future pro tection and elevation of the farmers. Upon the importance of a farmers rgauzathon, I said: I- the ;ieai struggle of life, all other great indus tries are organized and have their as siiations. Banks, Railroad corpora. tions, commerce, manufactures, tc., struggirg to advance their own inter sts and expecting every other to do or itself i!.e same. The farmers can not possibly hold their own ma this reat race without organization and ducation. The distinguished Ohioan, . H. Brigham, in a speech to the ~armers of Ohio, said: '-If the farmers 'fail to organize, the future o:f agricul 'ture will be a repetition of the experi 'ence of older nations; agriculture will be despised, neglected. unneces 'sarily burdened, and finally sink iL to! decayv and ruin. Although we far outnumber those in every other in 'terest, this does not relieve us of the 'recessity of organization, for numn ~brs without it is an element of weak 'ness rather than strength." Senator George, at Washington in speech said: "The farmers without' oraniz. dion can no more maiain 'themselves in the face of othert org.an 'ized indusa4?s. 4han raw militia 'could withsa.ad a well disciplined 'army." Out Con missioner of Agri ulture in the Apri1 number of the igricultural report, quotes the asser ion and fully endorses it. It is js what I have contended for year.. When we see almost athe entire farm ing population weighed down with debt; their childrenflrowmig up with out education, and thei statistics show ing that while there has been an enor mousicrease of weda in the State,1 it tas been in other industries and not in farming; while ouir promising boys who do get education, are leaving ti~e farm for any other pursuit -we might justly pause and consider. If theI farmers continue to neglet education as heretofore, and neglect organiz: tion and ev-ery le.git.imate means ofre storing equal success~to' their bu.'ine , as others have secured, they rout L i evitably sink lower and 1ower~ inscil business, and political iuf~luece. ICere I pointed out v.Lat could and wuhi come upon us. should ::l the education and organized forcs of socety, bi-lor:g to other pursuits, by citing the condi tion of agricuLlturle in a certain part of Eurone, where the owrners of laud ad all gone to the city and left itsei'ltiva tion to a most helpless and ignorant peasantry. I have been muclh abused for my opInions. A man told me, "They have given you the devil for some months"-I presume for the farmers movement- Who "they" are, I have no idea, but no man in South Carolina has expressed himself ri-: C ull and frankly. to the public. I ad voaed my opinions on the stump, publish-'i them in full in the papers nihmy name attached, and conte-nd ed for them emtnestly in the legisla ture of the State. Tbc press was open to all to express their dissent. Upon the stump they could have been re plied to and the people had the pow er to defeat thenm, for nothing was concealed. I made no war upon any class or individual; nor does the farma ers movement oppose or antagoia7.e any class of citizcns, as somec, ost unrcasonabiv try to circulate.
