fE MANNING TImS. S. A. NETTLES, Editor. WEDNESDAY, JULY 10, 1889. TAXABLE VALUE O~f PROPERTL Two men, A and B, are given $1,000 each. They each begin trading, and at the end of two years A has been able simply to hold his own, and has only his $1,000 he began with. B has been very successful, and has acquired big profits, and at the end of two years finds his money increased to $2,500. At first they each of course paid taxes on $1,000. Shall they now each continue to pay taxes on $1,000, with the property of each still valued at $1,000; or shall A's property be valued at $1,000, and B's at $2,500, each paying taxes on what his proper ty is actually worth? C and D buy a tract of land of 500 acres, for which they pay $2,000, each paying $1,000, and each taking one half the land. C works along at hap hazard, doesn't ditch or dig up stumps, puts in very little fertilizers, manages badly, and at the end of two years his farm is worth no more than the $1,000 he paid for it. D is a live, go-ahead fellow, full of vim and en gy. Instead of loafing and fishing and hunting all his spare time, he is working to improve his land, ditch ing and clearing land, digging up stumps, hauling in litter to spread on his land, raising. hay crops, and such like. At the end of two years his $1,000 farm is fully worth $2,500. We will suppose both farms were at first returned on the tax books at $1,000 each. How shall they be returned now ? at the orginal value, $1,000 each; or shall C's be returned at $1,000, its real value, and D's at $2,500, its real value? Ought property to be valued on the tax books at what it originally cost, or should it be valued at its value at the time the return is made? If it is right and just to say that all the horses in a given township shall be returned at a given price, and that all the land is worth the same pice acre, why not likewise say that all the stores in the country shall be valued at the same price? If a man makes a sworn return of his property, and the Board of Equal ization change any of the figures in that return he has sworn to, are they not de facto guilty of forgery ? We want the public to think about this matter. -We would like to see a --1Ettiediscuasion on the matter. Every body we have talked with on this sub ject, with one exception, thinks we are right. Now, if there is anybody who does not agree with us, we will take great pleasure in publishing what he has to say on the subje.z The property of Clarendon county is put down on the tax books at $1, 804,135 when in fact it should be con *siderably more than $5,000,000. This is an injustice to the taxpayer who pays on the actual value of his prop erty, and a gross injustice abroad to the good name of the county. Let us remedy this evil, if possible. An 'inch of rain' means a gallon of two drrTGI of 100 tons ~upon an acre. Candidates for Goyernor are being named. The names of Gov. John Peter Richardson, CoL Jos. H. Earle, General M. L. Bonham, Jr., Hon. Jas. H. Rice, Col. J. C. Haskell, Col. C. S. McCall, and Hon. John C. Sheppard, have been suggested. The State Supreme Court has granted a new trial to James, the par ricide. ~The new trial was granted on thegrouds, that Judge Pressley, be fore whom the case was tried, ex ceeded his jurisdiction in his charge to thejur' by charging on the facts aswe sthe law. Every farmer should be a member of some farmers' club. It is one of the best modes of conveying and gaining information, for the reason that matters "at home"-that is, the -eihborhood modes-are discussed. Each member can derive more infor matinfrom a local club than from; any other source. Abig fight was indulged in last Monday in Mississippi, between John Sullivan and Jake Kilrain. They fought seventy-two rounds and Sulli van won. This makes Sullivan the champion fighter of the world. The Governor of Mississippi endeavored to stop the brutal proceedings, but the under officials would not in real-' ity lend him their assistance. We see it stated in some papers that after McDow's acquittal he was the recipient of flowers and congrat Sulations from a number of the ladies of Charleston. Surely this is a mis take. Surely the social and moral status of the ladies of Charleston is \ not so low, so depraved, that they fendand would thus associate with one, who, on the stand and under oath, swore that he was a-libertine, a Sestroyer of that which every true oman and every true lover of woman holds dearer than life itself, wvho swore that he disregarded the sacred mari tal vow, to love, honor, cherish, and be true to her who is his wife. We have heard of such in Northern cit ieE, but we always had a secret dis trust of the purity and integrity of such women. But here ini conserva tive old South Carolina the same thing occurs. Whither are we drift ing socially and morally ? Farmers' County Alliance. .L0maso, S. C., July 9, 1889. Having been commissioned Organ izer for Farmers' Alliances for Claren don County, S. C., I would hereby give notice that I will be at old Fel lowship church, 3 miles south of Manning, on Saturday 20th inst., for1 e mm one or more sub alliances, after which the county alliance will be organized, say at 1 o'clock Sub Alliances throughout the coun ty will appoint delegates to take part in the county organization, and inas much as we are to spend the best part of the day, they are requested to bng dinner. Our purpose is, "to develop a better state, mentally, mor ally, socially, and ilnancially." Ddt' J. Baan~u, Organizer. SUCCESS IN FARMING. A Prominent Young Farmer in the Fork Makes Some Good suggestions and Gires Some Good Advice to Farmers and Merchants. In order that we may be successful farmers, to begin with, we need good, deep ditches. In all of my wander ings I have never seen so little atten tion paid to this most essential thing to successful farming. Most of the Clarendon lands that I have seen are low and flat, and according to my judgment they are about as good as the average lands, and if they were properly drained their value would be enhanced fully one hundred per cent. There is just as much sense in plant ing low lands with no ditches, as to plant without first breaking the land. Of course there are a few things that will yield a pretty fair crop on low lands without ditches, but the same lands, if properly drained, would at least double the yield. So let's rally, brother farmers, and have our lands drained. It will not cost near as much as you suppose, if you will start at it right and in earnest. I have seen men, yes, smart men who worked hard, go into these low, wet lands with no ditches to take the sourness out of them, and plow and sow their guano, enough to make a thousand or more pounds of cotton per acre, and would do it on the same lands if they were drained, but what do they make? Comparatively nothing, not enough to pay for the guano, much less the la bor. I always think when I see that kind of work going on, what will the harvest be? I was reading the other day an ar ticle written by Bill Arp, in which he was going back on improved methods and machinery for farming, and inti mated that the old way was the best. We cannot agree on that score, 'and I do not think that he would have so written did he live in this county. We are far behind the times as regards improved implements to farm with; and we will have to pay more atten tion if we expect to make a living out of farming here. I say here, for we seem farther behind than others where I have been, and thee is more neces sity for it here than almost anywhere else, for lands are cheap and almost every darkey has a tract bargained for or rents one at his own figures, consequently he will not work when you want his labor most, unless out of rations, or it suits his convenience. I do not mean to go back on the darkey in speaking as I do. It is more our own fault in the beginning, in not paying enough for their work, and not having them sign contracts. There is more necessity in having binding con tracts here than almost anywhere else, on account of so many mills. When needed most, laborers will frequently pull up stakes and go to a mill to get a little cash, and the influences from this source alone is very demoraliz ingto the farming interests. My mot to is, good prices for labor, tight con tracts, and hard work. Get improved implements to work with, hire few hands, pay them better wages, and work them harder, raise everything at home that your land will produce, raise your own bacon, &c. We are working ourselves to death and not making anything at farming, andl say that farming does not pay. I say em right. We are letting our bays or low lands lie idle, and,working the poorest lands we have got when if we had a few acres of our bay lands cleared and drained for corn, we would make more without guano than on three or four times as much other lands with it. If we can make our corn without guano, we can afford to pay for guano for cotton, even at a high price. Merchants are to a certain extent to blame for the condition of the lands in this county, and I say it without fear of successful contradiction, but of course they all don't look at it from the stand point I do. I do not blame a mer chant for getting all he can for his goods, but credit in one sense of the word is too cheap, and a man that is inclined to do right and make some thing is on pretty much the same footing for getting help, as the most worthless rascal who has always bee.n a failure. I think it a mistaken idea for a merchant to sell a mule, horse, or ox, rent a man a piece of land, and advance him about twenty-five or thirty dollars and no guano, and* expect him to make a big crop and: pay out the first year. In the first, place, take only those that you are willing to trust, furnish them with good stock and enough to do the work, guano enough to pay him for working over the land and at a living! price, and if he pays for his rations and guano, &nd some on the horse, don't say tha he is a failure and close. him out, for it is worth something to your land to put guano on it and pay for it and the other things he buys, and you can gford to carry over- a. balance till another year. On the. other hand, let those that you know are not inclined to work go, don't touch them. Leave them for the. farmer-s to contract with, and nine: times out of ten they will do better. Come to the front, farmers; you are the backbone of any country.. Quit saying that farming doesn't pay. Say that if it, like everything else, is. not worked and managed right, it will not pay. I think the Farmers' Alliance a good organization, and every farmer should join. They have high and noble pur poses in view, calculated to elevate the! farmers. I want to see the bagging, trust go under, and I feel that it will, and the whole country will be better off when the farmers come to the front. I could say a great deal more,: but have said more than I intended this time. I desire to say, however, in conclusion, that I am only sorry I do not practice all I preach. C. L. ExL.m.

The Daniels Woman and Her Five Colored Friends in Jail. Svrr. July 6.-Ned Williams, John Williams, Thomas 0. Parlcs, Preston Jeffer son, and Edward Slater, the five negroes im Icated in the Bishopville outrage, were lodged in jail here yesterday. Ned Wil liams, the leader of the gang, is shackled to the floor. The woman, in default of bond, has been put in jail as a witness. The low character of Daniels and Miss Huggins is the only thing that prevented the lynching of the negroes at Bishopville, they being a roving couple, stopping here and there at negro houses. Notwithstanding this, -the feeling here against the negroes is very strong, but the law will be allowed to take its course. Miss Huggins is in a bad condition, and the negroes have confessed everything. Sheriff Carson received a letter this morn-: ing from Sheriff Wall, of Marion, request ing him to hold Daniels and Miss Huggins, as he has a warrant against them for adul tery, Daniels having a wife in Marion. Daniels has not been heard of since the outrage. Daniels was whipped some time ago in Clarendon county for larceny.

Two years' experience in the use of it~ the year and earlier as a preventive,. a full teaspoonful to a pint of corn meal dough. As a cure, after fowls are already affected, give stronger: doses-a half teaspoonful to as much dough as a hen would eat.. Force it down them if they decline to eat. In this way we have saved hens that were too weak to stand, while the death rate in the yard was fearful. The disease is now well known as resulting from the growth of mi crobes in the intestines of fowls. Any strong caustic of muetalic sub stance, as soda' lime, bluestone, cop-. peras, may be regarded as destroyers of microbes, some substances being more poisonous than others. Soda has, in our experience, given the best' results. It is safe to use it liberally as a sanitary agent, even where chol-: era has not made a start. We would suggest a trial of it for hog cholera: also.-Cotton Pland. Mrs. E. Slattery, of Delhi, La., says her son, 14 years of age, had a dread-: ful time with ulcers, sores and blotch es which followed chicken pox.

He takes the statement n Revelations xxi., and figures it out thus: 'And he measured the city with the reed 12,000 furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height are equal." Twelve thousand furlongs 7,920,000 feet-cubed, 497,793,08,000 D00,000,000 cubic feet.

Drake, of Marlboro, intends taking the premium for the largest yield of corn on a single acre if high fertilizing can accomplish it. He selected a piece of poor, sandy land, and put on it 500 bushels of cotton seed and 500 bushels of stable manure, all broadcast. He then applied 3,500 pounds of various fer tilizers. His rows are six feet apart. and the corn is about five inches between the stalks. The corn is of the variety planted around him. It is at this time fifteen feet high, and has 20,000 ears on it. The Col. has had to place slats on each side of the, rows to keel) the stalks up. He has two wells and force pumps, hose attached to themi, so that he can sprinkle the crop whenever it is necessary.
