THE GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE.
NYNOPStS OF Til K SUdOKSTIONS Or
OVK CHI Kl-' MAQ1KTKATE.
AD Exhaustive Kev lew of th? financial,
Educational ?nd Industrial Condltl n of
the Stat* -An Abi? ?nd Interesting- Paper.
On thc first day of tho present sc?
sion of tho Legislature Governor
ThoT^sou submitted tlic customnry
mossago te tho Geueral Assembly.
Tho lind ninttor considered is
THE I'UIILIC DEBT,
which'is now $36,522,188.54, consisting
of BrWwn consols, valid Creon consols,
deficiency bonds, and agricultural land
scrip.
I UK REVENUES OP THE STATE.
Thc tetal revenues of thc State and
count ?CN for thc lineal year commenc
ing N?vorn ber 1, 1883, "was about $2,
089,000, of whioh about $1,930,000 waa
raised by taxation, and $163,000 from
phosphate royalty. Tho collection of
the taxes was unusually full nnd satis
factory, nearly 98 per cent, of thc
assessed Stato tax having been collect
ed, anti nearly 86 por cent, having boen
paid .into t'ne treasury. Tho net re
ceipt tor each mill levied was $115,000,
being an iaerease of $-1,000 over the
preceding year, and $25,000 over tho
year 1878 79. Tho laxen for the fiscal
yoar 1884-85 are now being collected,
and the result cannot, therefore, bo
reportocrr The lory amounts to $1,
831,494, divided ns follows: For State,
$841,526; for counties, $077,148, and
for school*, $812,820, not including
polls.
It is estimated that it will require
$403,000 to meet the ordinary ex
penses of tho Government for the fiscal
yoar 18885-80, and $391,000 to pay tho
""interest on tho public debt. These
amount-; will bo increased by such
additional appropriations as may bo
required by legislation, and \vill be
decroased by thc phosphate royalty
and any surplus that may remain iii
tho Irca?urw.' A? these amount ? aro.
contingent, and consequently anknown
ilO nocessary levy can only bc deter-"
mined when thc General Assembly
prepares the annual supply bill.
THE PHOSPHATE ltOYALTT.
Tho phosphato royalty for tho Vern
einung 30 Soptembor, 1885, amount
ing to $176,244.41, has been collected
iu full-being thc largest sum yet cov
ered into tho treasury from this source.
Thc yiold for tho year ending 30 Sep
tember, 1886, will probably not oxeced
$150,000.
DISAULKD SOLDIERS.
Commenting upon tho recommenda
tion ofthe Comptroller, that $30,000an
nually be appropriated for a pension
of $30 oach to disabled soldiers, tho
Governor says: "Thc State can never
fully discharge her obligations to thc
bravo mon who. in obedioncc to her
C&K'ha>?B?tfersd p?rtit?P"?1 "????7 ?n ?
health or in limb; ont ihe^SuO&rii cuif
trlbnte, if possible, to thc alleviation
of the wants of auch of them ns are
without the means of support, and aro
incapacitated for manual labor by
reason of disabilities incurred in thc
discharge of duty. Whilo those who
can claim this recognition of services
to thc State diminish in number each
year, tho infirmities of the survivors,
and their need for help, constantly in
crease."
THE TAX LAWS.
Tho Govornor recommends a careful
revision of thc tax laws, with a view
to greater simplicity and efficiency.
TUB PUBLIC SCHOOLS
continue to improve The number of
pupils enrolled in the public schools
during the year just closed was 178,
023, of which 78,158 wore white and
99,585 woro colored; the average at
tcndaBce was 122,093, of which 55,064
wero white, and 66,429 were colored.
Tho number of teachers employed was
3,773, being nu incroasc oi cighty-nino
over the number employed during thc
preceding year; and thc number of
schools was 3,562, being an increase of
cightv over the number in operation
during the year 1883-84. Tho length
of the school term was three and a
half months, a decrease of half a
mouth. Thc total amount of funds
available for school purposes during
tho year 1883-84, thc latest period for
which reports arc attainable, was
VJ680.38, of which $441,599.37 was
co?iee^e^ula? ,ho > eHr' anA $,7:V
981.01 consistai
anees brought forward from previous
years. Tito total amount expeuded
was $428,419.31.
The Governor urges thc adoption of
somo moasurc by which thc school
fund may 4*catch np" for tho "lost
year", and teachers bc paid.
The various educational institutions
of thc Stato aro in a flourishing con
lion.
The Stato Military Academy now
has four elasecs, the full number pro
vided for in the course of instruction,
and during the coming yoar it will
send forth its first class of graduates
si nee its reorganization in October,
1882. There are now 206 students at
the Seuth Carolina College, and it is
likely that tho numhn* will rench 280
shortly. The presen) attendance in thc
largest since tho wur. In concluding
bin remarks on thc College, thc Gov
ernor says: "Tho leading States of
the Northwest and our sister Common
wealths of the South arc rapidly build
ing np their institutions of higher
learning. North Carolina has recently
strengthened ber university by largely
increased appropriations and by tho
addition of several now chairs, and
Virginia has within thc Inst three years
Sven over $100,000 to her chief scat ot
arning. Mississippi has granted her
Agricultural College more than $200,
000, ant) Alabama und Georgia havo
appropriated large sums for tho estab
lishment sud support of technical
schools in connection with their Stato
college* These appropriations aro
samt safely invosted, promising large
and speedy returns to tho people.
Snob wise and liboral legislation-tho
poliey of the most progressive Staten
of tito day-was the rule in our own
State from the early day? of the cen
tury down to 1861. ' Never has it been
more needed than now. when success
in every pursuit or calling can only be
achieved by intelligent and well
directed, or, In other words, by edu
cated effort."
THE PENITENTIARY
receives |U due abare of attention. The
whclrt?nfib?i4 of convicts In conflne
?nonu ^daring the year WIN 1,
468. The nnmber on the 81st dar of
October ves 946, a decrease of ll as
compared with the corresponding pe
riod ef last year. Of this number 826
vere eetoreu males. 39 colored females,
76 while tiples md 6 white females.
The cash receipts lor tho fiscal year
were $166,682,16. To this amount, as
showing the earnings of the prison,
must bo added $10 ?in.Gi due by cou
tractors, making $70,449.80 ns tho
total Incomo tor tho year. Tho dis
bursements to October Jil were $(57,
081.65. To this sum should be adde<l
$?,00O duo in bank, which will he paid 1
from thc amounts to bc collected from 1
tho contractors, making the disburse- 1
ments for the yetti' $82,081.66.
The incomo of tho penitentiary has 1
been diminished hy the inability of thc '
directors to biro out convicts nuder 1
thc restrictions, contained in the late
Act on the subject.
The Governor suggests that tho
directors be authorised to take con
tracts lor specific work to be done un
der tho supervision of the penitentiary
oiucers. and that the State buy html to
bo cultivated by tho convicts on a
large scale. Ilc nlso urges the estab
lishment of a reformatory school. Con
cerning tho Canal, the manager states
in his report that, in his opinion, more
than half of thc work necessary for thc
completion of tho same is already fin
ished.
TUM LUNATIC ASYLUM
has 859 patients, of whom 210 wore
admitted during the last fiscal year.
Thc wholo appropriation now asked
for is $39,000 less than for thc year
just closed.
In thc matter of reforming our sys
tem of
CRIMINAL COUllTS
tho Governor prefers an increase of the
number of Circuit Judges, rather than
the establishment of County Court.?.
If the trial justices aro to be retained,
he thinks they should receive staled
salaries, and be appointed on thc re
commendations of tho Circuit Solici
tors.
The message recommends the carly
taking of a census of thc State.
TnE DEI" A HT SI KN T Or AQRIOULTUftE.
Tho annual report of tho department
of agriculture for 188? includes tho re
ports of the commissioner, Hie chemist,
thc special assistant in the phosphate
department anti the superintendent ot
fisheries. Tlio>e reports furnish de
tailed statements of the operations for
thc year, showicg the varied and im
portant duties with which thc de
partment is charged.
The regular work of the department
has been fully equal to that of previous
years, anti much of the time of tl c
commissioner and his assistants luis
been given to thc State's o x I ii bi t at tlc
World's Industrial and Cotton Conten
nial Exposition. This exhibit was
made by direction of the Legislature,
and represented tho natural resources
ami manufactured products of thc
Stale. Tho commissioner makes a
full report, showing the extent and
diameter of thc exhibition, and the
results likely to follow from it. Ho
thinks there is a strong probability ol
thc establishment of direct trade rela
tions with Japan, in exchange of phos
phate rock for ainmoniating sub
stances, so extensively used by South
Cnrolina manufacturers of fertiliz
ers; that the sales of fertilizers inunu
fi?c?^??'Vd .bore will h.* largely . jj?.
creased; t?iaT tfe?^.^>ricjjjtu.l'?? iuTvan
tagon of thc State, as shown by the
products displayed, will attract the
better class of farmers and laborers;
that thc mineral resources, as shown
by thc specimens exhibited, will re
ceive thc attention of investors and
practical miners; thal tho splendid
water power anti forestry of South
Carolina, so thoroughly advertised at
the Exposition, and now better known
than ever before, will interest capital
ists, and that thc trade of OUI'colton
manufactures will ho extended. The
Japanese commissioner and experts in
wine growing and other industries'
have already visited the State, and thc
favorable impressions formed justify
tho expectation of gootl results irom
their investigations.
Thc statistics compiled by thc de
partment show the steady agricultural
progress of thc State. In the staple
crops there is a gradual increase in
production, and each year shows great
er increase in the use of labor-Having
machinery, and in the number and
value of Improved breedo of live stock.
The board of agriculture has en
couraged experiments in tobacco cul
tine, anti will take such steps as are
nccossary to establish regular experi
ment stations us soon as the funds ol
thc department will permit.
Tho department has a well-equipped
chemical laboratory, and is prepared
to undertake analysis of fertilizers,
minerals, &c,j for tanners and others.
Thc building contains tho.- Ov ,,. ,">.>.

tural conventions. Tito specimens ex
hibited at the Colton Exposition were
lout to the Agricultural Society ol
South Carolina tor-the Charleston Ex
position; they will be returned to the
department building in Columbia, and
will form the nucleus for a permanent
museum.
CONCLUSION.
In closing bis message the Governor
soys: "In conclusion, I Invoke your
attention to the responsible duties for
which you are now assembled, with
thc sincere wish and the confident hope
that your labors may be wisely direct
ed to the advancement of the best in
terests of the people.'.'
The Old, Old Story.
Why do we hear so much about dys
pepsia? Simply because so many poo
plc it. Why are so many people talk
ing about their cure from this dreadful
disease? Simply because they have
been taking Brown's Iron Bitters.
Thus it is with Mrs. Taylor, Of Lynch
burg, Sumter county, S. C., who says,
"I have used Brown's -Iron Hitlers for
dyspepsia with most favorable results.
I believe this medicine is all that h
represented." Dyspeptics anti suffer
ers from neuralgin, weakness, etc.,
should try it. *
-Thc annual meeting of tho stock
holders of tho Anderson Farmers'and
Mechanics' Fair Association was bohl
on Wcdnosday, November ll, and,
after paying all expenses, declared a
division of assets which will pay 160
26-100 per cenf. on the original stock.
Tho association retains its charter, and
a new orgaization will probably bc ef
fected in tho future.

Th. old Fields ul'Hu* South,
Winn a Northern fanner nasses
:lirough tho Southern st Av.;, ho is sur
prised, mid pained- If of a sensitivo
nature losou so many seemingly bur
ren fields; bare, excepting ?ben oov
Jl'Cd with Ibo prevailing brown sedge
if thu various, exe? ediugly poor,
creeping plants called J a pan clover,
which include severa! kinds of Leapt}'
dlZU. Those old fields are scarred
with gullies, or wasliQs, caused by tho
heavy rains, which loosen thc line red
clay and carry it down tho slopes.
Naturally, a si ranger think- those bar
ren fields to bo worn out and worth
less. This ls a g teat mistake They
arc turned om lo rcfct, whllt it ploco ol'
new ground is cleared and cultivated,
ami aller a tinto takes il- turu of rcs!,
and the old Hold is plowed up ami
cropped again. This is Ibo Southern
substitue for manure, and ls really a
method-an exceedingly poor ono, it is
true-of fallowing. These Holds have
never booti plowed, to uso this word
in its true sense, flioy have been
scratched over, but the soil has never
been turned, and winn a Northern
larmer, or an awakened Southern
planter, tears up this soil willi u good
turning plow, and seeds ?I down n>
grass und clover, the yield is quite
bqual lo that of a good field on a
Northern lunn. Tlic writer has a
Held of thirty acres of dover and Tim
othy on land of lins character, broken
up last summer (i*8i), lu August,
plowed twice, harrowed up throe
limns, and sown willi thc clover and
grass alone. This lias been mowed
twice for hay, yielding, lu all, three
tons per acre, and toe aflcrmutll is
now (November) knee-luge, a"d would
make the finest pasture, were il aol
saved for turning under in tho spring.
Another old Hold, seeded with Tim
othy and clover with oat-, has a pol'
loci stand ; nol a seed seems lo have
failed lo grow, ami is better than Ibo
writer has ever grown al tho No'th in
thirty vcars' experience. This seems
to bc the most profitable way lo treal
old Holds in tho South, and il* South?
orb farmers would adopt this plan,
and feed slock on tho grass in the
winter, the grcntost on tho fair face of
the South would bo ia.vere.1 willi

thc characteristic plants of tho old

Cutting and Oaring Corn Fodder.
The enthusiastic, advocate-, of ensi
lage, havojaocmpllshcd ono good thing
-tlicy have, shown thc value of Indian
corn as a fodder crop. Those of us
who have no silos, mini continuo to
usc tiie old molliod of drying and pre
serving Hie fodder. Tho silo adds
nothing to thc value of thc fodder. In
other words, we may zet out of tho
silo all thc food Hint goes in, luit no
more. And so with the dried corn
fodder. Wc mav so cure and dry tho
corn so ns to retain all tho nul riment
there is in it.
On tho other hand, wc can loose1 nut
riment in tho silo, from SXCOSS?VO fer
mentation and otherwise ; and wc can
very easily lose equally as much, b om
exposure of (ho drying or dried fodder
(o min, or from mold in thc hundios,
shocks or in Macks.
In fact, I have never yet been able
to stack corn fodder, or to koop it in
bulk in tho hay for any length of
time, without considerable injury and
loss.
In my oxpcrlonce, tho most econo
mical way of raising and curing corn
fodder isjjflrsf, to sow early on good
land. In rows wido enough apart to
admit tho uso of (lie horse-hoc or oul
tivntor. Second, io keep tho land
woll cultivated, ns long as you get
