Thoughts for the Month.

To one who is not a routine farme
nice questions aro sometimes sprun
this month touching the management c
a cotton crop. As a rule "laying by" i
completed by the last of OHPily, bi
should heavy, compacting rains folio'
> close on the heel of the last plowing
and hot weather sets in, is it better t
plow again or not, and how late in th
season may plowing be advantageousl
continued ? Ne inflexible rule on thes

land is fresh, or the soil fillod with hi
mu?, so that it is friable ind loose, plow
ing may be stopped earlier than wher
opposite C9nditions prevail. If the so
is disposed to run together and baki
plowing should continue as late as
can be without breaking off limbs an
. , bolls too badly. One furrow in eac
middle, using a very wide scrape and
^ very short single-tree, is all that is need
ed. Itis hardly necessary to add tht
the plow should run as shallow as poe
\ sible, just deep enough to break th
crust, but not deep enough to break
single root.
Another circumstance to be considere
is the state or condition of the crop fo
the time being?if it has been growin
slowly and steadily up to the time i
question, a light plowing may not accel
crate growth so much as to induce shed
> ding : but if growth has been suspende
by dry. hot weather and copious rain
falls,.there is danger of a second growt
setting in so rapidly as to make th
plant throw off its fruit. Plowing woul
accelerate the second growth, and migli
' - do harm instead of good. ? It would b
well in such case to delay it awhile un
tH after the impulse given tho plant V
tho rains had somewhat expended itsel
If frequent rains continue, no farthe
plowing of course is advisable, but if
"good season'' only occurs, followed b
dry weather, the plows.may be advanta
geously started, say a week after th
rain ; for by that time the effects of th
rain will be well-nigh over, and plowin
^ will only prolong *a steady continuou
growth. Let it be borne in mind that
sudden starting or a sudden checking c
growth arc both very objectionable ai
tor cotton begins to fruit. One mm
consider, therefore, tho condition of hi
crop, the character of his soil and tl)
* , kind of weather prevailing, and regulat
his course accordingly.
In the olden time fodder-pulling wi

forage for horses and mules. Othc

deservedly so. "Well cured, it is ver

a cutter and are sprinkled with a litl
meal they vrill be eaten up very cle
bp,stock. If fed alone, especially if n
cut up, some of the largest portion ol
the stem is apt to be left.
Preparation for autumn crops should
' now be vigorously pressed, turnips
^ should all be sown by the end of the
month, and grasses and some of the
grains will call for seeding early nexl
month. No time is therefore to be lost,
Arra?ge business so that plows and har3'
rows may start promptly after every
0 rain. Most of the seed to be sown are
lO
.small, and call for a very finely pulver^
ized soil. Deep breaking and fine sur?
face tilth are tho desiderata so fur as
)- ....
mechanical preparation goes, ine plow,
the roller, the harrow, following each
Other in the order named, will do the
work. With the modern improvements
.j in pulverizing harrows, there is little
difficulty in bringing land into the best
j' condition, even when starting with it
^ quite rough. For grass and clover?es^
pecially grass?the land should be made
very rich. If the supply of manure is
^ limited, it is better to put it all on a
^ small area and sow only'thai. It is time,
labor and seed wasted to sow on poor
lard. One acre of good grass is worth
ten whiqh is poor and hardly
able to maintain itself in the struggle for
existence. On ordinary land apply not
^ less than thirty two-horse wagon loads
r of yard manure per acre io start with.
? If yo uget a good stand you can help
n out this quantity by top-dressing next
spring with commercial fertilizers. The
manure should be well mixed with the
^ surface soil by harrowing. Never plow
it under deep. Whether for grass proper,
clover or lucerne, a good application
of barnyard manure is the best founda^
tion to build on ; commercial fertilizers
answer a good purpose afterwards.
? In relation to grass culture, the cotton
belt may be conveniently divided into
^ two sections?a northern and southern
p
half. North, say of parallel thirty-three
r degrees of latitude, red and white clover,
a together with orchard and herds grass,
? grow admirably and should be moat
l" widely sown. South of that line the
c 'annual clover, as the burr and tho crime
son, together with an annual winter
? grass like the 4*resque" (Festuca"). can
8 be more certainly relied on. Lucern
a will do well in both sections. We are
SDeakinir now broadlv?there are othei
f
plants that may succccd well and answer
a good purpose in both the sections
ls named. The tall meadow oat grass will

but moderately well in th? latter on rich

's valley land and in the northern section
y Spanish clever (Kiehardsonia) is a valu"
able plant for the Gulf borders, perhap;
ie superior to any of the true clovers foi
S that region. There is ample material
'r from which to choose, and an abundanct
"e of land ; nothing stands in the way ol
n grass culture but habit^and to some ex^

whilst it costs something in the way o

,s Our true policy is to concentrate cor

;lo On former occasions we .have urge
an the sowing of rye lots for supplyin
iot greet) f- od in the early spring. Noihin
f is so reliable : rich land, good seed and
early sowing are just as certain to bring
I a full supply of early green lorage as
i spring succeeds winter. The richer the
? soil the more the rye will be relished
t by-stock. This is important because rye
t is hot as much relished by animals as
. some other plants, but itg quality can be
greatly improved by sowing on rich or
hi<rhlv manured land. It is somewhat
: disposed to become woody as it gets older,
but a rich soil by promoting rapid
- growth, obviates woody fiber has time
i to develop. Give the rye patclt-precedence
over all others?begin its preparation at
once?break and roll and "harrow, and
i incorporate maunre with ^lrface soil.
; Have everything ready to sow the aeed
1 by the 10th of next month. Sow Southern
raised seed and preferably that grown
nearest your locality. Western rye will
not answer. Seed from Virginia, east of
i the mountains, does very well. Sow
i one and half to two bushels per aero.
. The nearer the barn the patch can be located
the better; if it cannot be near
the barn, let it be adjacent to a farm
road so that it may be easy to reach
with a wagon. In everything have an
' eye to economizing labor.
It is too late now to plant forage corn ;

possibly early amber cane wonld mature
sufficiently before frost to make
good forage. We sowed it last year oil
the 11th of July and it matured seed.
It can be cut when the seed is in the
dough. German millet and Hungarian
grass may still be sown, however* and
on rich land will make good yiehjs.
Cow-peas may also be sown for forage.
1 The pea grows more rapidly in the latter
than it does in the early summer. If
provision has not already been made for
an ample supply of forage, act promptly
and get in some of these crops. Do not
1 let the opprobrium of buying Western
i and Northern hay rest any longer uponthe
South. Something may be done a
- little later.in the season in the way of
molfirio hitv nf r?ralirrmcB nftinr kinds
which grow spontaneously. The mistake
usually made with these is to cut
them too late. Crabgrass mown just
after it is in full bloom and properly
cured makes a very excellent article of
hay. Remember that during fall and
winter, when the teams are not very
busy, they can be kept almost entirely
on hay, and the grain ration reduced to
one feed a day. *
Turnips should be sown during this
month?the rutabagas and Aberdeens
during the early part; Dutch and redtop
towards the last of the month. Make
the land very rich, bring it into the finest
tilth, cover seed very lightly and
' firm" the groundthese are the condi'
tions of success. For groens, sow the

Let neighborhood clubs now cometo?

mer too busy and too -closely at home
^ for him to enjoy much the society of his
* friends. This is the greatest defect in

The Farmers' Citadel.

' At the receut supper given to the
e ^graduates of the Citadel Academy at the
g Charleston Hotol, Congressman Dibble,
g who was present, was called upon t?
^ respond to a volunteer toast and spoke
_ as followrs; , w|'
Mr. President and gentlemen of the
n Association of Graduates : I esteem jt i
o great privilege as a South Carolinian t<
e | recall the. proud history of tne Citadel
o I Academtf. and 1 confidently beliove thai
, i ^ i
(} illiP Iiwyio iiiQ?i%UMt/?i lino lUdif j j?aii?-vi
d prosperity before it in the fufure.^.
o In .the brief apace of time I shall odo
copy at this late hour I desire to emphasize
tho idea that iho free tuition bj
d the State, of studenle at the Militerj
g Academy is not* charity. It itf strictdi
| badness. The object bought is no
simply the personal benefit of the young
men thus educated : it is the benefit
which the State will hereafter derive by
having among all classes of her citizens,
the poor as well as thu rich in en tlioroghly
equipped to serve her interests
and do battle for her rights. Tho |
money spent is an investment and not a
benefaction. Incidentally it may enable
a poor boy to get a good education, but
the reason that the State educates this
poor boy is because she will need his
Services as an educated man, and she
finds in him the kind of material that it
is for the common good that she should
develop. I insist, therefore, Mr President,
that this not a mere matter of senti
ment, it is matter of business. And it
is in this way that it is and has ever
^been, regarded by those countries of
the world and those State of the Union
which hare made the in&st rapid progress
in intelligence and wealth they
have made the outlay for public benefit
and the public enjoys- the returns.
This matter of higher education,
whether it be at the South Carolina College,
or at the Citadel, or at an agricultural
college, if you chooso is all in tho1
same category. And I have no objection
to increasing the resources of our
State for higher education by having
another institution, but J decidedly oppose
any steps backward, by discontinuing
any of the institution now in operation.
Nor will the farmers of South
Carolina desiro their discontinuance.
Why, let tne recall your attention to the
fact that in the palmiest days of the
South Carolina College and the Citadel
our State was even more distinctively
than now an agricultural Commonwealth
the South Carolina College was a fanners"
College, the Citadel was a farmers'
"Citadel." The students of both were
mainly the sons of farmers, and the
same is true of them to-day also.
Now I have no objection to introducing
a provision into the College to the
effect that students whose parents or
guardians are able to pay for their tuition
should be'charged tuition, but I am
unalterably opposed to any provision
which would tend to diminish the number
of beneficiaries from among those
not able to pay tuition fee?. I protist
against any change of the system which
would compel tne trustees ot the estate
UniversUity, supported as it is by the
taxpayers of South Carolina, for the
common good of all classes of her people
?I protest against their being compelled
to say to any poor young man of
our State ,uGo away from our doors if
you cannot pay tuition. The State supports
tho College by taxation for the
benefit of those only who are rich
enough to pay for higher education."
The result of this is to make money the
means of advancement, to make a
privileged class of people?an aristocracy
of wealth.
-Mr. President, I oppose so outrageous
a principle in a State such as ours,
where the son of the poor man, if he
has the brains and nluck and ambition
"to better his condition, and. that of his
class should have every facility that the
State can give hiin. The rich man docs
not need free tuition, for he is going to
have his son educated irrespective of
whether tuition be free or not. He is
willing and able to pay. But the poor
man, who has a son who is capable of
receiving a college education, and who
has got to struggle with many privations
to enable that son to get to collegc,
finds this matter of tuition a very, importan
item ; it will often be the feather
that beaks the camels'back and will
operate as to ttie pronibitton 01 mgner
education to the sons of the poor.
And now, what is the practical question
? Let us look at it as suoh. Take
the instance of tax-payers going up to
pay his taxes. He asks the county
1 treasurer, "how much taxes have I ^o
' pay ?? The county treasurer roplies,
^ "your tax is just $10, but if the Col*
lege and Citadel wero closed, you would
! pay only $9.80." Is there any true son
of Carolina, if th(f voting were to be
> done at thfe very time of tax-paying, who
i would vqte to close up these institutions
> for tho sake;of tenty cents a yoar. And
I take the class of large taxpayers? men
t whose taxes are $100 a year. ' Of the
f $100 the'College and Citadel taxes com
blued are atout two aouars, ana more is
not o man is in South Carolina, who has
property enough to be taxed #1.00, who
r ought not to give more that two dollars
r per annum for the institutions, for the
r good which they do for the State.
| not remind you of the story of
the Roman matron, who oroudly exclaimed
of her sons, ,'These are my jewels
!" And the State of South Carolina
should be able to point proudly to her
sons, ''Those are my jewels !" But the
brilliants that decorate the breast of
beauty are not the rough diamonds from
the quarry, but the sparkling gems cut
?.wl oil -r it
MtBVt |/vuouvu I? *V" ail bliu OMll U1 IUU
lapidary. So this native, rude talent of
the sons of Carolina must be developed
by the skilled labor of the educator, if
she desires to point to her sons and exclaim,
as did the mother o( the Gracchi,
' These are my jewels !'
There is no danger, in my opinion,
Mr. President, of our people ever taking
any retrograde steps in the support of
higher education, provided the question
is discussed freely, and the advantages
of our educational institutions arc set
before'them. They will realize that, if
we wish to maintain a rdspeetable placo
in the march of progress, we must supply
every advantage to the bright mindB
among our young men, whether they
a^tf rich or poor. We must prepare them
tnoroup;hly, so that they can utilize fulthe
ability God has given them, and
the coming generations will be able to
keep South Carolina abreast of the progressive
communities.
In conclusion, Mr. President, coming
frnm n pnnntv pninnnaoH Inrirnl v nf fnr_
"" / ?"*sbv?v
mers, I demand for tlieir sakes that those
institutions may be maintained, and that
poverty should not bo the means of depriving
their sons of the privileges of
State education ; and, as a taxpayer, I
also demand that when the taxpayers of
the Stute contribute for the maintenance
of the College and the Citadel/ these
schools of.learning shall never shut their
doors on any South Carolina boy simply
because he cannot afford to pay tuition.

i Columbia, S. Cm August 4th, 1B86.
| Last night all the hotels presented a
wonderful animated appearance. "Shoals
of politicians filled the lobbies and the
sidewalks, and the buzz of conversation
among the office-seekers and their adherents
added life to the scene. Nearly
every delegate had bis own peculiar
ideas of what the Convention would do}
and it was a matter of impossibility to
gauge accurately the relative strength
of the various candidates. One body oT
delegates expressed the opinion that
Colonel John Peter Richardson will win
the nomination on the first ballot; another
equally powerful delegation would
Just as confidently assert that Governor
Sheppard will b) nominated ; ? others
again were doubtful as to the chances
of either and opined that while those
two favorites and their menus were
beating the political bush some dark
horse might walk away with the game.
Mr. Coker and Chancellor Johnson
loomed up as no unimportant factors
and Colonel McCrady developed unexpected
strength. The opinion was freoly
expressed that one of these excellent
gentlemen might be selected as the
nominee in the event of a dead lock.

not surprise them to see General Jphn
Bratton brought to the front. But this
seems out of the question, in view of
General Bratton's unequivocal ' declination.
The truth is that everybody appeared
at sea, and no end of wise suggestions
and knowing predictions were
indulged in. The reporters of the Jle>j
ister mixed freely with the delegates
last night and pumped them to the best
of their ability, but without any very
satisfactory results. After carefully
weighing and calculating the probable
strength of each candidate upon the imperfect
data thus obtained, the following
conclusions were reached : During
the past ten hours Richardson's chances
have improved ; that during the same
period of time Sheppard's strength has
gradually but surely waned, Owing, it ia
believed, to an unholy allianoe between
Tillman, Dawson and himself had been
entered, into ; and that Cokert McCra
dy, Patterson and Johnson, jn the order
named, will poll a very respectable vote.
It appears by no means probable, therefore
.that a nomination will be settled
by the first ballotv . Beynnd this the
keenest prophetic vision cannot penetrate.

ballots will be cast. Many think
tnat there will be at least ft dozen ballots.

Elam Tilden was a farmer and merchant.
Samuel entered Yale College in 1833>
but soon left that institution and graduated
at the University of New York.
He was admitted to the bar in 1841, and
began practice in New York citv. In
1844 tho Morniny Neasn, a daily paper, /
was established in New York to advocate
the election to the Presidency of /J
James N. Folk. Mr. Tilden invested- >5
capital in this enterprise and became the V
editor of the journal which position he ;.
held until after the election. In 1845
he was elected to the New York Assem- ; S
bly, and in 1846 was .chosen a membei^^p
of Constitutional Convention, where he _
was made a member of the Committee '"J
on Finance and Canals. In 185r? he was 33
defeated as the "Soft Shell" Democratic .
candidate for Attorney-General of New ?$?3
York. Mr*. Tilden now devoted himsftit ' ,v^
to his profession. His practice w*s very _
, extensive, and by it amassed^ consider- J|
able wealth. Besides other important '
cases he was counsel in 1858 for Azuriah
C. Flagg in the case growing out of the . - ^
contested election for the Coiuptrolerahip ;
of Now York city ; in 1857 for the relatives
of. Dr. Burdelj against the olaiina.
of Mrs. Cunningham, and for the Pepn
sylvania Coal Company in the suit ;<$
brought by the Delaware anil Hudson
Coal Company. Mr Ttfden became J||?
Chairman of the Democratic State Committee
in 18G6, and was a lead- ~
ing member of Constitutional Convene ' J
tion of 1867.. serving with distinction on". |||?
the Finance Committc. He became
indefatigable laborer in tho cause of ;
judicial and political.reform in the city .
of New York, and in 18?9-'70 was active
in the formation of the liar Association.
When the contest was waged against " ^
the members of "Tammany Ring" hold*

defrauding the city treasury of nwiny
'million dollars. Mr, Tilden rendered i6--;>'.;^
valuable services to the cause of reform
by his famous analysis of the Broadway
Bank, showing conclusively how thtf-*?#y
alleged culprits had shared their spoilt
ani furnishing legal proof for their
conviction. In 187S he was again elected *
