(New York Globe.) “Not many people know how to pet a horse, from the horse’s standpoint, at any rate,” said a trainer. "Every nice-looking horse comes in for a good deal of petting. Hitch a fine horse close to the curb and you’ll find that half the men, women and children who go by will stop for a minute, say ‘Nice horsey,’ and give him an affectionate pat or two. “The trouble is they don’t pat him in the right place. If you want to make a horse think he is going straight to heaven hitched to a New York cab or delivery wagon, rub over his eyes. Next to that form of endearment a horse likes to be rub bed right up between the ears. In petting horses most people slight those nerve centers. They stroke the horse’s nose. While a well be haved horse will accept the nasal "WhOM Busin*** I* Itf* (Kingstree County Record.) In his Interesting account of the proceedings of the teachers’ meeting helcj. in Columbia last week our cor respondent reports Senator Tillman as saying in substance (referring to the Clemson and Winthrop tnuftee- shlps)* that we have a legislature, a governor and other executive officers, and if it be true tha'i he is violating the law it is their duty to proceed against him in the matter. • We fully agree with Senator Till man in the view he takes on this phase of the subject. Some executive officer or officers have been derellcc in their duty to wink at so Vagrant and open a violation of the State constitudon all these years, and it is certainly not incumbent upon Sena tor Tillman to proceed against him self. But why has this state of things gone on undisturbed? Aye, there’s the rub. That brings us back to the starting poirt of the discussion: “And he has been permitted to do so because—well, because he is Till man.” Or, at least, that is the way it appears lo us. Diversified Farming. (Bamberg Herald.) The farmers of Bamberg county could be the most independent peo ple on earth, and every one could get out of debt in a few years if they would quit plan'cing so much cotton, or rather depending entirely on cot ton as a money crop. Nearly all the necessities of life can be raised on the farms of this county, and there is no reason why our farmers should have to buy corn, meat, flour, etc., from the West. The farmer who raises his own corn, meat, potatoes, wheat, etc., is the most independent man we know of, and every one we know in Bamberg county who follows this plan is making money on his farm. Let more of our farmers try this plan this year. Th* Buck*t*hop an Outrage. (Florence Times.V It is frequently called to our at tention that the cotton market is suf fering because of the general passage in the Southern States of the antl- bucketshop bills by the different States. It may be true that the bucket- shops could aid us at times, but it is not temporary aid thaft we are af ter. We know that the bucketshop in an outrage on the decency of the community and we ought to be ashamed to accept the aid even when it would come our way. There is pne way in which the Southern farm er can be helped, and that is through his own organization and his stand ing to thpse who can and will help him. That is a legitimate way of bettering his condition, and it is.the only way that he should seek. READ THIS OFFER. FOB BALE.

(Greenville News.) The legislature will be asked to create a State auditing department. If there is any one feature of our government of straightforward busi ness methods it is financial affairs of our counties. The News has no par ticular county in mind, nor does it fail to recognize that in some of the counties business is carried on in a thorough business-like way, but the present system is deficient and needs reforming. A thorough State audit ing system would save thousands up on thousands of dollars to the people every year. To say nothing of the satisfaction of having the business carried on in an approved manner, the saving in dollars and cents would be many times as great as the entire cost of conducting the department could possibly be.

I also agree with Mr. “C.” that we cannot make or force bhe spinner to pay our price but it is equally true that he can not make or force us to make the cotton and take less than a decent living. Shall we continue to play the fool or shall we cease? ft’s also true that money runs the world and its run out of our hands into the pockets of the few of the more intelligent.
