Editors: The Bilble says "Answer a fool according to his foly" and with that injunction in view, I offer a few criticisms on the comumuni cation or "Pine Knot" of Bear Urcek. He certainly coold not have chosen a more appropriate nom de plume for the section from which he hails can I verily believe, show more. "pine nots," "pine stumps," -and "flint rocks," to the square acre, than any place that I know of... Indeed we uigt 'say inl geography "parlance" -that it is noted for these items enume rated above, and last, but not least for the ignorance of its inhabitants with a few honorable exceptions.. .We are not at all surprised that he had not eard the news-doubdt. If they know down there that Harrison has been elected President of the United States. I don't suppose they take aniy "news papers," for if they cannot read "sign bards" they ceutainly cannot read newspapers. WVe suppose s.ome o1 his brother "pine kno~ts" told him about ould be "Boss" was on the other side. No, Mr. "pine. knot," the fight was between the farmers, "the yeo manry of the land" and the would be 'Boss," and he was badly demoralized, if not totally routed. As.to 'Mr. Mor rson-he is abundantly able to repel any such attack -as "pine knot," or oher "sich" tr'ash may ma'ke. Mr. MI. tuched on a "vital spdt" :when he said, it was the policy of the demna gogue and polit.ician to keep the mass es in ignorance in -regard . to t'he "in ternal workings" of that. :invsterious science-government. . -We indig nnatly repel the insinuation Qf "pine knot" touching our "status" as Demo crats, and triumphantly irefer tp our reord in the past. He is right when he says there is going to tilWa ~shaking of dry bones,". and he ?might have added a "trembling of.knies" too. It wll be as bador worse thafn the .time when Cap-Tilman's firseiarticle ap predin the newspapers 'some three ge,s" sio The days o~ the demna geue and politician ardu-numbered, an the farmers in allihis "broad do -min" from the A tlantic to the lfacific, from the Lakes to the Gulf are unlitius and intheir might and .trength, withb the help of Almighty Gd, have de terminel to have their "po&itical rights,' or know the rea-on why they c't !e them. - We suggest to "pine kr.o;.". that he might have etnlployed his time mnore protif able and usefull in swigu somne o the charges made n MrStbeh alld. tn-conclusion we hope tt ihantil we ever be so fortu nate or.nsfnuate as to be elected to an office that we will so- eniduct ounr selves that we will be enabled to serve for more than 'one term.' * K AID HICKORY.

Editors, I have all along re garded the call by Capt. Shell for a convention as unaessa i l cause a loss of timeand' oi t t the farmer. Besides, tie farmers in their organized state can elect officers 'that will look after their interest in the regular Democratic , Convention. With the above named objections whai possible harm can anse from the March Convention? Haven't -th farmers a right to meet in Columbie or any otherplaceto discuss their need and announce publicly their choice o men to ll the State offices subje to the Democratic Convention? N one will be pledged to support th nomination, if one is made, not eve tes present. All this tal about bolts, sphits, etc., in the Dem( I cratic ranks is a mistaked idea. W can't afford any thing of the kin I remember in 1888, when Mr. - Lane bolted the Democratic part and came to Winnsboro to speak c that line, some of those mass meetu men awd legally elected delegates te 3.4d inst. refused to allow a] thing of t 4j- kind' aithougIk -t - County Chairman said in a very a cided manner that he (McLane) lhad right to speak and that right shou be respected, or something to tt amount. So much fo-- their jai ment and patriotism. But theyi willing to follow their bold and fe less leader Capt.B. . '.1iman. ), is evidently the father of the Farmc Association, in the Palmetto State so -early a date.

To te Dredtors of the Cotton Mill: GtrL,x. -Please excuse my pre sumption, but my interest in '-h enterprise intrusted ti your care prompts me to say now, what I waui to say in the last meeting of stocli holders. You then suggested that w put our money in ai warehousefor th present, which could be changed int a mill building when we need it. am not surprised that such a schem should suggest itself to your mid and if the success of the enterpris depended upon the efforts of one, tw or three, persons only it -would lb advisable, perhaps. But in-a larg compy 'of istockholders, 'there ar serious objections to. it. Many- doub the success of~a warehouse on the- sit selected for the mill and these ar opposed te.their money being used i that way. If the building were Pu in the form of a warehouse and i became profitable as such, then ther would arise a division among the stoeli holders; those who 'want a factory to its life giving' influence agaist thos who want an ?mmediate profit on thei investment. Were you to build in th form of a warehouse, those who ar opposed to it would sell their stodJ at a sacranice, which would destro' onfidence in the enterprise, and per ps- wreck it. .Others .would ne take stock in a warehouse who mighu in a factory. We subscribed for.e factory and that is what w.wanl becaue we need life infused in on ommunity ,and this we think ifa tory will do. .We 'ike the Scotto: e eea d should bring the msto th otton.
