This would be a queer world if every body thought alike. Editors as well as lawyers and doctors differ, and it is by their differences that the people have an opportunity to act as Judges and render the award. THE TDIEs has taken the position that the tax payers of this State are already too much burdened with taxes to stand a raising of Lie State levy for the purpose of finishing the State house. It is estimated, the cost of doing this work will take nearly if not quite a half million dollars, which will be bound to raise the levy unless that half million -an be cut off from something else. The question with us, is not whether the State house should be finished, but whether we are at this time able to stand a raise in taxes. The newspapers througb out the State, with few exceptious, are advocating the completion of the work, and when one doe's take an op posite view they come back and hold it up to their readers as a thing that has desecrated a grand sentiment, cal the editor narrow-minded, and selfish and in a flippant manner impugn his motives. We believe we are the first to protest against raising the tax levy and we also believe when the general Assembly meets our views on this subject will prevail, we almost know that our position would be sustained if the question were left to the people, let the question be raised in the next primary when members of the legisla ture are to be elected, and we venture the prediction that very few who ad. vocate an increase in the tax levy will receive a certificate of election. Th e advocates of the scheme to complete the State house at any cost, and re gardless of the people's condition get warm under the collar when they are confronted with opposition. Here is a fair sample taken from the Saluda Sentinel: There is nothing mnore absurd than for a South Carolina newspaper to op. pose the completion of the long neg. lected State house. To hear a news paper of the stamp of THE MANNING -mhs, cry out, that Columbians are at the bottom of such a move is doubly absurd. It sounds more like the cry of a scheming political office holder, that is trying to tickle the whims of his constituency in order that they may retain him in office, than the writ ingof a sensible, wide-awake journal. ist as the editor of Ta TIMIs is. The original plan of the State house, if the war had not interrupted its comple tion, would have made it one of the finest pieces of architecture in the South. While the original design can hardly be carried out now, yet it ought to be finished to save it from further ruin and at the same time be an ornament not only to Columbia but for the whole State. Of course it is absurd "for a South Carolina newspaper to oppose the completion of the long neglected State house," when to have the de sired work done will press the bur den of taxat-on harder upon the shoulders of the peoi~le. To beautify and adorn the Capitol building the people must be oppressed. We have never said "that Columbians are at the bottom of such a move," but had we said so we would not have been far out of the way. Just wait until the Legislature meets and stand around the hotels, it will be seen in short order that Columbians are not indifferent to the scheme, but on the other hand there iwill be a number with axes to grind. To intimate thai politics and selfishness prompt4 our opposition to the raising of the tax levy to finish the work on the State house is unworthy of the Saluda Sentinel and does not strengthen its cause. Those who know us are aware of the fact tbat hypocrisy is nota part of our nature and our constitu encv does not need any tickling tc retain us in office. It is a late day for TEE Timrs editor to begin tick. ling his constituency "that they may retain him in office,'' when the fact is "his constituency" has never refused him any honor he has sought, and that same "constituency" has, agreat many times given expression to their confidence in him. We therefore feel that did we fail to protest against a scheme which, in our judgment, wvill make the yoke of taxation harder tc bear, we would be recreant to the trust reposed in us and unworthy the confidence of our constituents. We are truly glad the Saluda Sen wide-awake journalist;" it is in the endeavor to retain the reputation of beig "a wide-awake journalist" that we get in the way to obstruct the passage of an appropriation of a half million dollars of the people's money to beautify a building that wvill an swer the purpose for which it is used for many years. We venture to say, had a proposition been made to ap propriate a half million dollars to put the country school houses in comfort able condition so that the children unable to go off to colleges can re ceive the rudiments of an education in a comfortable school building, the same newspapers now advocating the expenditure of a half million dol lars to complete the State house, would raise a storm and charge the advocates of such a scheme with wanton extravagance. There is no scheme on foot to put the country school houses in a comfortable con dition, but if there was it would surely have more merit because the taxpayers would have some return for their money in the satisfaction of knowing that their children are not shivering in the cold while at school, but with the money spent on th6 State house the city of Columbia alone gets the benefit in the way of adding to her many architectural or naments. We are not opposed to Columbia being ornamented, and as the State house is in that city, we would be glad if the conditions were such that we could favor making the State's property, an oruament to that progressive city which is not many years off from being the "commer cial and manufacturing centre of the South." The delegation that succeeded in getting Charleston voted as the place to hold the next National Education al Convention did their work well, and they are entitled to some sub stantial recognition from the people of Charleston. We congratulate Charleston upon her good fortune, and we are especially delighted in her success because "Billy" Wilson, a Clarendon boy, was a big spoke in the wheel to roll the convention to wards the City-by-the-Sea. All things are not serene by any means on the Island of Cuba and the rumblings of a revolution are already being heard. The Cuban leaders are chafing under the yoke the govern ment has put upon them and in their writhings they are doing their utmost to get the people recently liberated from Spanish oppression to revolt against their liberators. It has-been predicted that Cuba can only be held in peace by covering every foot of her soil with United States sol diers. We had occasion to visit the city of Augusta last Thursday and we must say that when we left to return home we carried with us a desire to visit that beautiful city again. We found the people exceedingly clever and social, and we were placed under obligations for the nice little atten tions shown us. We paid our re spects to the Augusta Chronicle and made the acquaintance of Editor Hook, one of Georgia's gifted writ ers, and who is a newspaper man that doesn't drink, smoke, chew or "cuss." It was a pleasure to meet him, and we believe that Augusta is the only city in the United States that can boast of such a newspaper man. Hook is the original and only one of his kind. The Bennettsville correspondent of the News and Courier says "that Col. Livingston, within the last few weeks has received quite a number of letters from every section of the State urg ing him to enter the race for Gover nor," and then says that "Marlboro will have a Gubernatorial candidate, either Hudson and Livingston." This correspondent may have a cench on the thoughts of both Livingston and Hudson, but we doubt very much whether either of the gentlemen he names will enter the race. We re gard Colonel Livingston one of Gov ernor McSweeney's staunchest friends who could not be induced to run in opposition to him, and as to Judge Hudson, his bitter opposition to the dispensary law and his long retire ment from politics makes him, in our opinion, one of the "has beens" that will never come to the front any more. Some of the political sleight of hand performers will, in order to con fuse the minds of the people, en deavor to work up a national issue for our next State campaign, and in our opinion it is nothing but a trick Ito give politician3 a hobby to ride over the country. The people of this State are not bothering themselves with expansion or anti-expansion; what is troubling them most is to keep the taxes from expanding. If it is the policy of our national gov ernment to sail around the world and pick up little unprotected islands, it might be against our judgment, but we are not going to work up our selves into a frenzy about it; we are content to let the representatives in Congress attend to those weighty questions, but we do not war~t to be carried away from things of local in terest which wve understand and can control. Let us keep our national questions and State questions sepa rated, we can understand both better William Jennings Bryan continues to make the welkin ring with his sil ver cymbals, and although some of the anti-Bryan forces claim that he has killed himself by talking so much, we notice that he manages to keep them guessing and retiring from the field of action. Bryan may not be able to win the Presidency, but there is one thing almost certain, he is the winner for the nomination, and there are very many who believe he will be the next President. Washington Letter. (From our Regular Correspondent.) Washington, July 14.-Democrats have good reason to regret the fright in the ranks of the single gold stand ard Republicans because of the warn ings uttered by such Republicans as Senators Thurston of Nebraska and Chandler of New Hampshire. Ever since the Eastern lepublicans began the movement to try to put through single gold standard legislation at the coming session of Congress Demo crats-have been heartily wishing that they would succeed in doing so, be cause of the marked advantage it would be to the Democratic candi date for President. Senator Chan tiler was the first to tell his party as sociates that they were playing with political dynamite. Then came Sen ator Thurston, who has presided over two Republican national conventions and who is much more influential, if not so talkative, than Chandler. Thurston makes it very plain that Mr. McKinley never would have been elected if the international bimetal lism bluff had not been put in the Republican platform and worked for all it is worth by the McKinley stumpers in the West and middle West. He also intimated that he didn't care a continental about silver himself, but would take no part in helping his party to invite defeat. He expressed the belief that the effort would not succeed in Congress, al though he was not so confident about the National Convention of his party, of which he said: "The Eastern States have a large representation in the convention, and we know the colored delegates can be won over." Of the probabilities in Congress Mr.. Thurs ton said: "With the narrow republi can majorty in the House and the moderate views of a good many re publican Senators, I really do not look for very much in the way of fi nancial legislation between now and the Presidential Campaign." Next to putting it into a law, democrats would like to see the republicans -put the single gold standard into their National platform. Ex-Senator Pugh, of Alabama, now in Washington, doesn't wear any cushions on his political views, nor does he believe in trying to win by pussy-foot methods. He said of the next candidate and platform of the democratic party: "I believe that William J. Bryan is the wisest and most reliable democratic statesman living and that he is now better es tablished in the confidence of the American people and stronger than he ever was, and can be elected after he is nominated, as he will surely be, by the next Democratic National con vention. As to the democratic plat form, let it be the Chicago platform, with additional declarations against the manifold trusts growing out of the existence of the gold standard and prohibitory tariff duties; also in favoi of a vigorous prosecution of the existing war in- the Philippines, until peace and order is established and the governing power of the U. S., is fully recognized; also that peace and order is to be established, not for territorial expansion or dominion of the U. S., but for the sole purpose of securing to the people of those islands better and more stable government, with all the right, liberty and privi leges they show themselves by trial to be capable of exercising and en joying in a condition of independent self-government." Although the scheme to give this country a standing army of 100,000 men was defeated in the. last Con gress, the idea has not been aban doned by Mr. McKinley. The word has been passed among the republi can leaders to try to work up public opinion in the vicinity of their homes, in favor of a large standing army, so that when Mr. McKinley repeats his recommendation to Congress for a larger standing army it will seem to be backed by the sentiment of the country. A large standing army will as dangerous next winter as it was last, and for that reason will be op posed by the democrats. Whenever this government has any real need for fighting men it is easy enough to get as many volunteers as may be asked for. Consequently there cannot be any good reason for maintaining a $100 REWVARD $100. The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one (treaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is catarrh. Hall's atarrh Cure is the only positive cure known to the miedical traternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a contitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrb Cure is taken internalhy, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the ystem, thereby destroying the foundattion of the diseas,, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers that they offer one hundred dollars fur any case that it fails to cure.

R. commit tee composed of big guns of the or ganization, in Washington, for the purpose of investigating the pension office, has naturally been the subject of much gossip and speculation, as to whether the committee really intend ed to investigate or was uerely en gaged in preparing a coat of white wash to prevent the threatened de fection of G. A. R. men in Kansas, and other States, because of their dislike to the way Commissioner Evans has managed the office. Of course, everybody knows that the committee has no official status, w hat ever, and no more right to examine Pension office business than would a similar committee from the Sons of Jerusalem, or any other organization. Yet, Commissioner Evans has receiv ed this committee with indications of pleasure, and told its members that his office was open to them from top to bottom.

An other will he held the coming Au gust and Clarendon should be rep resented, not by two as before, but by two or three dozen. This was my first visit to Clemson, and I went not a very enthusiastic admirer and came away quite the reverse. Having had some corres pondence with the chemical depart ment, I felt that to meet Col. Hardin. Dr. Brackett, Mr. Shiver and Mr. Thompson was to meet friends. It was a great pleasure to be conducted over this extensive laboratory by Dr. Brackett, who showed me among other things where the water and fegtilizer analyses are made. To go over all the buildings and note their various outfits is, as some one has said, a veritable exposition. The Institute, however, was what I went to see and what I want your indulgence to write about. The first lecture I heard was on Wednesday night by Col. Newman on Agriculture. It was a treat to hear this gray-haired veteran farmer hold up in such an entertaining and admirable manner our humble occu pation. Col. Newman declared agri culture to be "the only ousiness with a charter direct from the hands of God." This high and noble tribute was eohoed by the applause of the large audience. He is the man you know who was put out and then put back. He is necessary to the busi ness. There were lectures on Horticul ture and kindred themes by Prof. DuPre. He is the man who looks after the gardens, the fruits and the flowers. It is said up there that all the lady folks are in love with him. A good thing probably that he also is a gray-haired veteran. He is the man who learns you how to bud and graft fruit trees. Hie has some urious freaks of grafting at his sta tion and it is currently reported that he can graft dogs. One of the most interesting lec tures was one by Prof. Shiver on Ni trogen or Ammonia in Agriculture. He had not gone very far when a farmer, a graduate of Union College, New York, remarked in an aside: "The darned fool don't know what be is talking about." A little later bie said: "Here, give me a pencil, that is worth taking down." There were other lectures and lec turers, the last being on "Education for the Times," by P resident Hart rlog. This was good and should have been heard by a larger crowd of far mers. All of the lectures wound up with ,n invitation to the farmers to ask ~uestions. In this way was discussed in an informal way many interesting mbjects. silos, grasses, manures, best methods of accumulating and keeping stable manure, making com post so as to hold ammonia without irefanging, etc., etc. Quite a little [un interspersed when some hard Leaded old farmer would tackle a professor on some point. In this way the "notions" and experiences >f practical farmers were exchanged with each other and the professors, making it almost impossible not to learn some new "wrinkle" about the business. The farmers were bunked in the barracks and seemed veritable school boys again, having lots of fun with their jokes. One big, fat fellow was tickled to death at a joke he had got ten on another one about eating up all1 the ham. That makes me think of the fare given the farmers. It was good. I stopped at a private house, but ate with the boys one morning and had an elegant breakfast. Chef Schilleter is a good cook. An object of special interest to me was the dairy. Here I saw the cream separated from the fresh milk, cream churned and the butter made and worked and put up in dainty pack. ages all by a student who did not seem at all flustered, though several ladies watched him at his feminine (?) work. Professor Hart also lectured on the Dairy. In it he was assisted by a student in whom we hardly recognized the milker we had talked to at the milking shed the afternoon before. The morning I left I was invited by Col. Newman to take a ride with him around the big bottom; it was greatly enjoyed. The Institute to be held will be equally if not more instructive. Every farmer there said that more would go from their county, and our county ought to be better represent ed. It don't cost much and I am sure it will be enjoyed. I well know that lots of our farm ers think their farming education is finished, they know it all. But there are some who have not clinched the tree of knowledge so quickly and easily. Now, both parties should go-the one to learn, the other to teach. If any farmer in Clarendon who knows it all will go, he will find gray-haired professors wvho will read~ ily admit they do not, and who will be willing pupils. Col. Newman says that on his farm near Atlanta fresh fruits and vegetables are on his table every day in the year. Can any farmer in Clarendon beat that? And yet we call him a "book far mer !" Until we who nearly starve at seasons on the farm for variety of table fare can equal that we had best take to his kind of book farming. By the way, he remarked in a lec ture this spring that the only text book needed ini his school room was the "First chapter of Genesis." No doubt circulars will be sent out in due time fully describing the com ing Institute. I will simply repeat that as many as can should go. It will do no one any harm, afford a lit tle outing at a very small cost, and most certainly do the attendant good. The teacher-s of the State have just held a Teachers' Institute. Looking over the list of attendants we see the names of the very best teachers of he Stoae They athered thee at Rock Hill to see what they could learn to help them in their life work. Not one of them but what was com petent before to teach well enough to please their patrons and make a living. But we see them there per fecting themselves - some in one study, some in another. At Clemson last August was point ed out to me a son of the late A. C. Haskell, who was there to study dairying. I met also a farmer from Darlington who was there for the same purpose. So let some go for one purpose, some for another, but let a goodly number go by all means. FARMER. Summerton, July 15, 1899. Robbed the Grave. A startling incident. of which 11r.

A bright young man on the Washing ton Post., who has recently returned from Iowa, states that he encountered a farmer one day standing at the foot of an enormous corn stalk. After sa luting the tiller of the soil, the visitor asked: "How big is your corn?' "I don't know," answered the far mer. "I sent one of my boys to see a little while ago, and I'm worried to death about him." "How so? Can't he get back?" "That's the trouble," sighed the farmer. "The corn stalk is growin' up faster than he can climb down." - Verily these United States form a country that is wonderful in its re sources.
