Follow Hagood’s Flag. In * conversation with Gen. llsgood on Monday he expreseed himself sub stantially as staled below. To those of our readers who way entertain the pur pose to sustain the lla«kell movement we oommend his brief but logical and unanswerable definition of the situa tion. The Issue* are so plainly put that thJmost artful sophistry of words and argument cannot blind an^ but those who will not see to the danger aud duty of the hour. Gen. Hagood said : ‘•The Convention of the 10th of Sep tember closed the campaign as far as the' b *mocratlc party la concerned. Mr. Tillman and hit associates were nominated by an ever* helming major ity of the par*y after a full canvass of the State. That action cured, in my judgment, the irregularities that bad occurred before and any fttflficF resis tance, no matter hy'what name it may be called, s|»)>ears to me to 1>e simple fudependentUm. While, Mr. Tillman was not my preference t*ml while 1 did not approve the methods of his cnin- psigu aud while 1 resisted w ithin the lines of the party his nomination 1 have acceptol the result in good faith and shall give him my support lu so doing I retain my own convictions but acquiesce In the decision of the people w ith w hom I have sought to serve the State during a somewhat lengthened life. I appreciate the cause of complaint of those who have put forth the Haskell ifwkot. 1 know their high character and unselfish patriotism hut to my mind their action is to be deplored. If it is a mere protest against Tillman and Ids methods, ia the gafhtTw orth t he can dle? It the ticket is put up to win it can only be in fact by a coalition w hli the Republicans, however speciously dis guised, and ttius the Ignorant negro vote of South Carolina is accepted as the arbiter of her destiny, not pnly in this crisis but for the indhtinite future.” We published last week the call of Chairman Fred Nix, Jr., for the assem bling of a Republican County Conven tion at Blackville oh next Tuesday' to ‘‘shape out what course we as Republi cans may Vfekeon election dav.” We commend to Chairman Nix and all of hi* like political faith the wise counsel of Rev. Richard Carroll, a col ored niinkteref education and intelli gence, w ho advises his people to “hands off” and take no part in thia poMUeiU fight, for they have nothing to gain and much to lose. He might safely have gone further and reminded them that the third party who interfere* in family trouble* el way* geu the worst of thi blow* end none of the blessings t! in circulation.

If the Alliance or domestic econ omy or anything el-c had brought us all to a standing of perfect independence we would then be ready to repeal or abolish the Lieu Law; provided our legislature bad nothing else to do, but we bo|)e they will find something else.

The, same cause discolor* opening near the. ground and discharge the coloring mat ter of the bolls, stolnlng the fibre. The value of the crop will be some what reduced by discoloration. The high expectations of the early season were first reduced by early droughts aud'the latter more seriously by more or less continuous rains from North Carolina lo Eastern Texas.
