The Barnwell People. JNO. W, HOLHES, Editor 1 Prop’r. LARGEST COUNTY CIRCULATIoT. THURSDAY, AUGUST 6, 1891. Whose Blame ? The State commenting upon the accident of Frtday niglrt upon the South Carolina Railway, detailed on our local page: “The authorities say this i* the first accident pf the Hind^tJiat hartraf)pcned on their road in yearg, and they intend to raafccij go hard wil^ the careless fire man.” , So they will makca scape goat of their servant and comfort their consclehceg with the implied eelf-aaaurance that they are guiltlesa of any Maine. His punishment,If the law should adjudge him responsible, will not bring back the dead, comfort the bruised hearts of the bereaved or prevent like happen- 1 nga in tlm future, 1 tjs welLniL^.wken the first horror is fresh, to locate the responsibility so that if possible such accidents may be more forcibly guarded against in the future. Blame lips, according to tbe flmllng 1> of the coroner’s jury, upon theerew^of^ freight train Xol 85 for eareMs not giving sufilcient warning crew of passenger train ^ro. 50. Blame lies on the rpelcloss spirit of the times which couiyKliuman Ufa of little value in the mad race for money and the craze for quick transit. Blame Hes on the State of South Car- ollna for having failed through Its Leg islature and Railroad Cominission to regulate to a safe rate the s|>eed of trains at point* of possible danger and for leaving the lives of citizens at tbe discretion of railway oftielal* and the efficiency of the employees. Blaine lies on the managers of the Booth Carolina Hallway and of the At lantic Coast Line for having In their ri valry adopted rates of speed unsafe to their passengers and employees, nil- suited to their single track facilities and not needed by their business. Under lr<>n rules the engineer iiiimI make his schedule or lose his place. Not so long ago it w as boasted that engineer Brlsscnden had “broken the record” by running a hundred ami thirty miles in a hundred and seventy minutes, Includlngelght stops. Friday night, with no coiincetion to make, w ith no pressing need for haste, under the Inexorable rules of his task master he obeys orders and drives to death at thirty•firo—forty-llve—fifty-live tnilra an hour. Tbe world w ill soon forget. Only a few friend*, only a sad hearted widow, only five little children will remember the clear eye, the strong nerve, tbe true arm, the loving heart. There Is another home darkened for all the future by tbe loss of tbe young first b>rn, only eon, who had made so brave a beginning of life for himself and for those he loved.

Orangk Lakk, Fla., July 25th. Kmtok People In tbe last Issue of your paper, which makes Its weekly visits here, 1 sCean article from “One of the Fanners” which emboldens me at this safe distance to put, in a mild protest against some of the vagaries; not to say absurd notions, of the Far mers’ Alliance. The average alliance- man here, and perhaps elsewhere for he seems to be h homogeneous com mod-'' ity, never tires of declaiming against other classes and asserting that the far mer,-“the backbone and sinew’ of the country,” is of all mortals the most op pressed and down-trodden. The posses sors of great wealth are especially de nounced as tyrants. Xpw'all this to my perhaps over sensitive olfactories savor* of eomrjiuniam. That thVroiire good and true men in the Alliance is not de nied, and that the order would, if kept within bounds, subserve useful pur pose* to the agricultural classes 1* also true, but it would be unfortunate for the country if the Alliance should gain political supremacy while guided ‘ '' such enthusiastic visionaries as tile au thors of the Hub-Treasury But it is said that we farmers are coir fronted by a condition >*fKl not a theory and asking your indulgence I proceed Will say however In passing that we should gii/rflow in condemning other classes ly<t we he like farmer Cain v ho kifledyliis brother Able because bis frultk of the ground were less accept- thun bis litfot-b-efs sheep. It Is generally admitted that agricul tural interest* are not a* productive of wealth as other lines of industry. This in -part may be accounted for by the law of supply and demand. The con dition briefly stated is this: Farm pro ducts hive been cheapened by the vast- ne*s of tlie supply and prices on the farmer’s ziecessitie* have not been re duced in pwportion. 'i’his is the diag-r uosii, what is the remedy? Shall we reduce supply by tli rowing ft way bur improved implement* and returning to the method* of our fathers, or shall we adopt an equally stupid plan—flood the country with cheap money without changing the present ratio between tbe price* of our surplus and our necessi ties.

By order of J. L. Johnston, Secretary and Treasurer, WT'M'trgr airrf Several good farmers have told us re cently that they would grow wheat enough to make their own flour if threshing machines and good mills were not so few and far between. A majority of the farmers in the county arc prob ably of the same opinion,—The lack-ot threshing machines and mill* can- be ea«wly and will be quickly supplied if wheat enough is made to w arrant their building. If the farmer* of one town ship or several will get together and as certain how many acres w ill be sown to wheat hiAheir territory they w ill have no trouble or expense In getting all the conveniences they need. But even if there i* no such concert of action en tered into any farmer within a day’* drive of a railroad can grow wli<-a' pro- JlLiiiiy Hr. HuL^L U tion, and devise ways and means to remedy It if possible. It might be we 1 ! for a similar convention to be held in this State. Whatever Is done must be done quickly. „ The only South Carolina suggestion we have seen is one made by Capt. Rich ard O’Neale, of Columbia, advising tbe farmers to say to the world that we will plant no cotton next year, that we will self half the present crop during the next twelve months and save the re mainder until another year, and asking from 12 to 15 cents for the half that is to l>e sold first. That might do if no man ow ed money, and all men were honest and heroic It would be impossible to secure the unanimity necessary to suc cess even if it were, agreed that Capt* O’Neale’s plan would accomplish the desired Jesuits. We have drawn the picture in its darkest shade, not to create alarm hut to prepare our people to meet the trouble so near ahead. Next w eek we will try to suggest the remedy thaf se^m* to us best fitted for theoeeasion, uhless some than we have fallen upon. North Carolina's Cotton Crop. Raleioh, N.

The resources of the banks in the shape of currency were distributed among borrowers ‘months ago, and even on the bt**t gilt edged col laterals it is difficult for them to get ad vances from the money centers. That indicates general stringency. Further, the old world has been drawing heavily on the new’, within the last few’ months sixty million* in gold haring been ship ped from the Unit* U States to Europe. So far as we have seen no ratfonnr ex planation of the cause of that with draw al has been given. The doubtful consolation of the prophecy that it would come back w hen the American wheat and cotton crops began to move was offered to allay apprehension, or perhaps because rio better reason, so called, could be found. For- the causes .suggested'above it need not be expected to come' back quickly after American cotton, and there was no wisdom im transferring it if it was to be brought back so soon to pay for American wheat) ’The partial failure of tlie European food crops will force our kin people across tbe Atlantic to buy their bread from our Northern brethren. Just there is another factor in the knotty problem. The wheat crop 1* ready for market now and there is a foreign demand for it.

Barnwell used to be a hamlet that could be fed from and satisfied with a eart load stock of groceries, but having laid aside her swaddling clothe* and stridn.g on toward the dignity and di mensions of a city, Cave’s Complete, Correct, Cash, Conscientious Commis sary will provide that in her forward movement *hc shall never faint or grow weary from lack of thesttbitantfalgthat all must have dr the delicacies that tlie fortunate can afford. The health of the people depend* in no small degree upon the quality of their fond, so wise men say. 1 venture the opinion that house keeper* who buy their supplies from me will find that pure article* properly prepared are better medicine* than all tlie drug* of the shop*, breezes of the *ea shore or waters of tbe so-called health resorts. If wives and husbands would save money, lessen doctor’s bili*, have no trouble in keeping cook*, grow young and happy .in their new found freedom from worry and care let them buy the best, which w ill be found at all times at Cave’s. I shall give all my time, attention and effort to thi* special line of business and expect to succeed by deserving success. I cannot undertake to catalogue all the goods Lbave in stock but housekeeper* who have been heretofore buying their supplies in neighboring cities are re quested to examine the completeness of my stock and the Christianity of my pri ces upon the platform above hastily in dicated, o I ask a fair share of public patronage, promising to return in every instance full measures of satisfaction, heaped up, pressed down, shaken to gether and running over^- Last but not Least. Lovers of good cigars, pure smoking and unadult erated chew ing tobacco will find that my stock “fills a long felt w ant.” |©r“Hweeds for the *wect” that can not be excelled south of Baltimore have been provided for the young folks in my splendid stock of candies and con fectionery. : t s- cave.
