THE MNNING TIMES LOUIS APPELT, Editor. Wednesday, October 10, 1894. A daily newspaper has been start ed in Edgefield. Senator McPherson, of New Jersey declines to stand for re-election t< the United States Senate. Governor Tillman has been solici ted by a lecturing bureau to delive a series of lectures in the north an west. New Englands' venerable poe Oliver Wendell Holmes, died at hi home in Boston,Iast Sunday afternoor at the age of eighty-five years. The Democrats carried Georgi last Wednesday by abont thirty thorsand majority. The Populist made some gains and will have aboul sixty members in the State Legisla ture. A large majority of the new Legis lature will be composed of new men Perhaps they will go there with the cry from the people for a better sys tem of free schools ringing in thei ears. If Judge Fraser consents to stand for re-election, we hope the Claren don delegation will vote solidly foi him. Their votes could not be casi for a better man, nor a more compe tent and conscientious judge. The liquor dealers association o Columbia, held a meeting last Thurs day night, and it is supposed that they have a scheme on foot to make an other fight against the Dispensar3 law, in case the State Supreme Court decided against them The National Republican Congres sional committee have little hope ol making any gains in South Carolina, and on account of the action of the State committee in interferring with the decision of the National commit tee in the row between Brayton and Johnson, in the 7th district there wil be no funds sent to aid either of the candidates. From the returns of the State elec tion held i-, -Georgi last week a .pabibed in the Augusta Chronicle, the indications are that Tom Watson, the Populist, candidate for Congress, will defeat Major Black, the -Demo cratic candidate. Watson's district was carried by yudge Hines, the Populist candidate for Governor by 500 majority. Dr. Sampson Pope favors protec tion, opposes the dispensary, favors splitting the Democratic vote now that he is seeking votes, opposes rings although for years a beneficiary of the ring as he calls those who -would not encourage his candidacy when he started out for the guber. natorial plum. Dr. Pope is a good man, and none of the Reformers will speak unkindly of him, because they know that he is like a good many others, as long as they get what they want everything is all serene, but let them aspire for a political position and get disappointed, then somebody must be cussed, and-a ring, even if it is imaginary, is about as popular a thing to cuss as a disappointed can didate can find. The Supreme Court has at last de cided the Dispensary law constitu tional. A full text of the decision ap pears in the daily papers of yesterday. The decree of the court is long, coy -ering six columns of small type. Now that the court has decided the matter, those who have heretofore opposed the law should remember that until this decision is reversed, the~ dispen. sary law is the law of this State. Re sistance to it, can only bring trouble on those resisting and the law will be enforced all the same. The question of whether or not the law is a good one or whether the decision is a righteous one is not to be considered, it is the law and law abiding citizens will respect it; law breakers will vio late it and be made to suffer the con sequences. With their usual consistency the Conservative press praised Hon. W. D. Evans to the skies before the pri -mary and called upon him to come forward to be a candidate for high~ office,but since the State Democratic convention nominated Mr. Evans for the higli and responsible office of railroad commissioner they have hanged their tunes and are now hit. ting at him with all kinds of insinua tions. Their object in trying to get him~ into the gubernatorial race was plain ly seen. They wanted as many of the leaders in the race as possible knowing that only one could be elec ted and they hoped the defeated ones would be so disaffected that an Inde pendent ticket would receive their support; but as usual they "busted' on their calculations. One of the demands made in the Reform platform of 1890 was that the present State constitution should be changed. The voters will have at the coming election an opportunity of saying whether or not they still desire the change. A Constitutional convention will cost a good deal oi money and unless the changing of it will give the masses a better system of free schools so that thosa that can not afford to send their childrei abroad to be educated will derivea benefit, we had better let things stand as they are. If however the constitution can be changed so that the tax-payer can direct to which school his taxes are to go, then the sooner we have the convention the better. The property owners of this State are tired of paying taxes for school purposes where so little bene fit can be seen. In fact, their money is being used for the education ofa class that pay no taxes comparatively while the children of the tax-payers are suffering for the want of educa The Democrats of Ohio are mak ing the silver question the main is sue in their campaign; yet because the Reformers of South Carolina favored free coinage, some of their opponents say they are not Demo crats. If a man in Ohio who favors free coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1 is a Democrat, why cannot a man in this State also be a Demo crat upon that issue. The question of voting on the call ing of a constitutional convention, is now being agitated by the daily press. - The conservatives newspapers are op posed to the convention, while the Reform newspapers favor it. The matter is left entirely with the incli vidual voter, and in the general elec tion, he can vote for, or against the measure. If the calling of a consti tutional convention will give the peo - ple a better system of free schools, e then it behooves every man that has I the future of this country at heart to vote for it. The present free school system is little better tha: a pretense, t yet the people are taxed for the schools and get very little benefit. We realize the fact that changing a State constitution is a serious matter and every voter should consider the matter well. Factional political ad vantage ought not be thought of in the matter of a constitutional conven tion. If the convention will not give the people such changes as will be of great benefit to them, then we ought not have it, but if we are to be bene fited then let it come, and that as quick as possible for we need help right away. There is a disposition among the people generally to lay aside the bit terness that has been brought about by the two past exciting political campaigns, and we sincerely hope this disposition will continue to grow until there is not a vestige of unkind feeling left. Every man who feels an interest in the community in which he lives, knows that continued strife means ruin. He knows that it has the effect of injuring all classes and that it does no good to any. It there fore behooves all of us to encourage a better state of feeling. We can have our individual opinions without getting provoked with our neighbors. We can use our rights to vote as we see fit, without questioning the mo tives of those that oppose us. The general election come off on the 6th of November, and the regular nomi nees of the Democratic party will be elected regardless of the opposition of Dr. Pope, or the Republicans who will oppose our congressional nom inees. If however, some of our friends desire to cast their votes for Dr. Pope, it is their privilege, and we have not the right to question them. The most that we can do is to turn out on election day and stand by the standard bearers of our party. We can not see where Dr. Pope and his friends find encouragement to con test the election with the regular nominees, unless they hope that the masses will not vote, and thereby se cure the election by" "'possum tactics." As far as Clarendon is concerned, we have no idea the opposition to the regular nominees will poll fifty votes, but then it will not do to take things for granted, and every man that wants to uphold the Democratic standard bearers should turn out and cast his vote. We nominated a ticket in. the primary and those of us that participated in the primary, are in duty bound to get out as large a vote as possible. A $.5,000 Whiskey IPull. Tuesday of last week, Chief Constable Holley, made a haul that will make the li quor dealers from abroad very careful in the future, how they ship their bacon, buil ders' hardware, tinware, sulphur. etc., to this State, even if it has been decided that a man has an inalienable right to sell li quor. The account of Chief Holley's hauls, as given by the Charleston Evening Popt, is as follows: "The State Dispensary will not need to replenish its stock at State expense soon. "The constables made a haul at the North Eastern Depot on Tuesday night that will keep the Dispensary in stock for awhile. Between sixty-live and seventy packages were taken by the constables. .It is evident that they had been anticipating the arrival of the stuff and had a full de scription of it. The packages were marked builders' hardware, tinware, sulphur, min eral water, bacon and copperas. They were so packed that it was impossible to guess their contents and were received by the road in good faith. The constables, six or seven of them, were concealed around the depot all the evening looking for the cars. They were opened after hours to ac comodate the consignees, as is often done by this accomodating road, but not in se cret, for all the clerical force was on hand. The packages were seized after delivery to consignee. "It is estimated that the liquor, which was in barrels, half-barrels, kegs and cases, was worth $5,000. "The confiscated packages were taken to the South Carolina Road for shipment to Columbia by Mr. Connie Powers this morning. "The State constables also seized forty four packages of liquor at the South Car olina and Georgia Railroad this morning. "This was shipped with other seizures to Columbia." HOW'S .THIS !

Editor Times:-Having a grandson at Clemson College, I visited there about a month since, and was so im pressed with the extraordinary sys tem pervading the whole place and the excellent work being done there that I am sure the establishment of this grand institution mneans more real good for our State San anything that has been done for :r enlighten ment, elevtti ion and ;'os! perity for many years. Indeed, t greatness of the scheme can only realized by a visit to the place when oue beconics surprised and! proutd thut e;ich a col lege is in South Carolina. The morning after in arrival Pres ident Craighead invited .1r. J. H. Boulware of Newberry, who has a son in the college, and myself to drive with him over the farm. We left President Craighead's ollce at about 8 o'clock a. m. in the omnibus, Pro fessor McGee driving and President Craighead, Dr. Orr, Mr. J. H. Boul ware and his son and I comfortably seated. We first went to what is called the bottom, which contains one hundred and twenty-five acres of fertile land. We rode around it and then throug it and most of it is planted in corn. I thought the aver age yield wotid be about thirty bush els per acre, but Mr. Boulware thought it would yield an average of thirty-five bus nels to an acre. Some of it I am saro will procude forty bushels to thce acre. About one hun dred conviets were throwing up an embankment around it to prevent overflow of water. They had dug up earth to the depth of six or seven feet and at that depth it looked as black and fertile as the surface. We were shown about eighty hogs in the pasture which President Craig head told us cost them nothing to raise and fatten, as all that was fed them was what would have bben oth erwise thrown away and wasted, like scraps, etc., from the table. You can readily understand that the food col lected in that way is ample to feed the hogs when you take into consid eration that there are over four hun dred students at the college and many workmen employed there. The brainy President is a practical man and has an eye to everything that aids in builfing up the college and reducing the expenses of the stu dents. From the pasture we went to the spring which is about a quarter of a mile from the college. It was being dug out, the workman having reached about ten feet and the intention was to dig it twenty feet deep, when it would furnish ample water for the college which would be conveyed through pipes run four feet under ground. After visiting the spring we rode over the balance of the farm which is in a beautiful state of cultivation. Professor DuPre certainly under stands his business. They have quantities of young trees of various kinds of fruit that are not yet bear ing. The orchards are truly exten sive. All sorts of vegetables are raised in quantities and canned by the students. About twenty students were canning green corn while I was there. Some would cut the corn from the cob, while others would fill the cans and sodder the lids. They had already canned and labelled a large quantity of tomatoes. They purchase their beeves and do their own butchering. President Craighead said that last year they paid five and a half cents a pound for beef but that this year they;procured it at four and a half cents. He thought by next year they would be enabled to get board down to $5 50 per month. We visited the creamery and saw them making butter. Every vessel was scrupulously clean and in nice order. The chemical building is a two story brick building well supplied with chemical apparatus. The mechanical hall is a large two story brick building and we noticed while in it that about a dozen boys were making cedar walking sticks. A cedar tree had failed in the yard of John C. Calhoun and the boys were utilizing trunk and branches in mak ing walking sticks as valued souvenirs. We also saw the milking done at Clemson College. They milked forty five cows and separated the cream from the milk by the new process as soon as the milking was done. We talked with many of the cadets and they are all well pleased. The fare is good and- they seemed per fectly satisfied in that respect, but are anxious for the college to be completed. I boarded with Mr ;John F. Cal houn, a relative of the great Carolin ian, and was most hospitably enter tained by him and his kind family. They make one feel at home. A large hotel is being built at Clem son and wiii be used for a summer resort and ~ -hum my will connect with the railroad. I was more than pleased with my visit.
