Oar large surplus or money and skilled labor must very soon turn *outb, where it can be very much better re warded than in the North. They will go to the matitifaciilrihg of iron and the development of coal, and the spo iling and weaving ef cotton and all tbe various and diversified industries which those things carry with them.

To the Farmer a of Sout/UJurolina: Seventy-six |>er cent, of our Stale’s population are aciivelv engaged in agricultural pursuits. At least one- J.alf of tbe remainder are directly de pendent utKin tbe farmers for 4hc means of a livelihood. We may justly claim, then, that we constitute the >iate, yet we do not govern it, nor are the laws administered in our interests, and few are passed for our benefit. We pay taxes and vole and there is no further use for ns. These taxes do not grow any less, while our abdily 10 pay theai grows smaller year by year, and nothing worth naming has been done to foster and encourage that in terest which feeds and sustains all others. The negroes used to be the “mudsills” of our economic fkbric; but thousands of white men—laud- owning fkrmers—fiudtbeaixeivc* slow ly. but surely sinking beneath (lie waves to be added to (he fodtidatinu upon which a few men and corpora lions are erecting their fortunes'. Im pending bankruptcy stares thousands in tbe nice, while other thousands are overseeing their <*wu plkutations for their victuals and clothes., An insane system of farming largely prevails and oar lands are growing rer year by year. Large are** of uth Carolina are being ma|i v a sert to feed negroes, whifc.the hmd- owners, firing no thought to the fhture of themselves and children, stand idly by, or assist and direct this skimming of a State, which, by reason poor Bout Me so of soil, climate and Geographical posi tion, mi ght be maiJe u veritable Gar den of Kiion. The negroes will “go W«t? wool Wbat will wo negroes will “go tbe bones Ere pick* d. do? We ftfe “funning towards despair” iu thus contiimiiig io impoverish our laiids by ignorttlt cul ture, but nothing is dune by our Leg islature, or its creatures, to stop it, or to try to teach the people a better and wiser system. Forty thousand dollar., are speut annually iu the State, tbrec- fourths of it spent by farmers, to edu cate men for other professions and pursuits; the farmers get nothing, and are leA to grope their way (awards the grave In ignorance and its consequent poverty. Even the pittance donated to educate farmers by theHuited States Government ia taken from us and ap propriated to sustain the instilution iu which our fixture masters are being trained. How thankful we should be td'ttle goou Lord for such generosity and wudoi called 1 mi among our statesmen, so- Again, we pay #25,000 anmiailv & specific tar, which ephtes ■ouf'bf fflfe farmer alone, to sustain a department of agrieMture. A good slice of this is •pent to collect the phosphate auvalty, which goes to support the Mate Gov ernment, aad the rest is frittered and waated, so fkr as we can see, the onl v benefit received by the farmers befog a partial protection against fraudulent fertilizers. A majoi ity of the board of agricul ture are not engaged iu tanning. Whb wonders, then, .tiust so little has been doalbv. k(o benefit our laruung in. terestsr Four bod crops oat of five and the consequent poverty of our farmers cry aloud for economy aad reduction of taxes. Bat this cry, which came from county, was ignored by the last ich also persistently to obey a plaln mandate of the Constitution to provide for a reappor tion moot of rejrseentadves by bolding fa c tons. It is small wonder, then, ihat ootkioff was done to protect the M robbery by diabonest Jaetarers. Which recently ad at oormptf has been of UM paMie welfare.

Each county agricultural soejety is requested to send five delegate*. Each local or township agricultural club is request to send one delegate. The farmers of each county are re quested to semi live delegates over and above those from organized societies, and to effect ihi* it is >uggc*ted that those iu sympathy witii the movement call a mas* meeting or county conven tion of tanners in their respective counties to appoini said delegates. If the wisest and best of our farm ers thus assemble we feel and believe there is enough of both patriotism ami statesmanship among us to find.reme dies for thofC evils; cud, without trenching upon the rights ejf others, manhood enough to demand and ob tain a proper recognition of our rights and need*. While this is essentially a farmer** movement we invite tho sympathy and moral support of ginnl men of every calling. Agriculture is the lia-i* of our economic structure and support* the rc*t. It cannot rise without carry ing with it the superstructure. There is among the politicians in South Carolina an up-country tyul low country. There i* no such line of division among the farmers. Ouriir- lerests are one. Let tu come together from the imiuutaius to tlm sea, and, exercising the God-given right that the majority should govern, organize as farmer* andobliieyute this line forever.

Dr. Weiss, tho - attend- ing physician, was hastily summoned and at once pronounced it a case of wholesale poisoning. Measures were promptly taken to counteract tho pois on. Most of the victims suffered severely from nausea, ami twelve of them are in a critical condition.
