Commending Representative Tindal.
[From the News and Courier.]
THE wISE cotPsE.
Mr. Tindal, of Clarendon, is an ed
icated farmer, a "practical" fa'rmer,
nd one of the leading spirits in the
'armers' movement. His whole course
ihows that he is thoughtful, conserva
ive and moderate in his opinions, and
ie is in every way a true and capable
representative of our agricultural in
eress.
Upon consideration of all the cir
umstances, and at the end of the pro
onged discussion that has been heard
.n the press, on the stump, in the
~armers' clubs and in the Legislature,
MIr. Tindatl frankly recognizes the fact
;hat the common sense and common
sentiment of the great body of the
people of South Carolina demand that
:he experiment of a College of Agni
mlture, as provided for in the legisla
on for the reorganization of the
South Carolina University, shall be
aithfully tried before a more costly
ad doubtful plan shall be attempted
to be put iu force. Mr. Tindal is in
avor, therefore, of testing honestly
and earnestly what the College can.
accomplish, and is opposed to throw
ing obstacles in the way.
This is the right spirit and the wise
course. If the College can be made
successful by the proper - support it
will accomplish every desired object
and in the most economical manner.
If it shall fail, after receiving proper
support, the coarse will be clear for
future action, and their wvill be no
room left for dissatisfaction or doubt
in regard to the permanent establish
mnt of eaath <-n11ge.
