OAKLINGTON A <"<?., Proprietor*. The Agricultural Dopurtmi al. Tho l?gislature? has neted wisely in re-electing Coi. A. r. m TI.KK Commissioner ol Agriculture, lt shows that the new deal idea luis not gained such complete control of the people as to make thom for- ! get that worth and fitness should bo rownrdod, nor arc they willing to sacrifice mon who have proved worthy of thoir position. A great many farmevs arc undi r the impression thai (be Agricultu ral Haroun should be abolished. This ts a mistake. A careful ex amination of (lie work accom plished in the past year, will show that it has been of'tho greatest ad vantage to Ibo farmers. Not only so, but it is absolutely es cntial for their protection. During tho past thirteen months, this Hoard hus been tho moans of stoppiug tho payment upon thousands of dol lars of worthless guano,.' be sides tho undoubted ftdvuhMigo ir has been in making mon'Ufo etti re rs keep up the standard fU?' their fer tilizers. But tho be^t pari thal it does not cost j .'nc ?State ?MI-? cent. Your tr.\es. {hat havo jus! been paid, may 'DO applied to many mi worthy objects, but not ono cent will g?" towards thc support of tho Agricultural Department, it ls argued that the firmer supports ihis institution by way of thc 25cls. per ton royalty which is charged on all fertilisers offered for salo in the Kt a te. Does any farmer in Laurens County believe that if Cos tax was removed, he could buy a ton of guano that now ('opts $.10.00 for 129.7.)T If so, be pays ii. (a ; if not, the manufacturer pays it. Hut .suppose it does come from thc farmer's pocket; suppose he pays it directly; is it not worth 25cts. per ton to know that v\ ant you buy contains the exact analysis inarki d upon each sack? Whatever bone fits fha farmer?, benefits the Whole community, and we would be sorry indeed to ace any legislation that tends to cripple this department. It is the ouly Institution timi (ends towards the improvement of Agvi eulture, and if farmers do not gain benefits from L, ' ls beean v they do not desire Improvement. Tho department stands ready to in spect your v ili/.er, analyze your soil, Rad it -ls nothing to have it done. Tho Constitutional Convention. it appears that In tho la-^t fow years there has beee. a growing de sire in this Sta(c, for a new consti tution. Without urging any ob .'jSctiotifl to . ur constitution ns it stands to-day, many seem to favor a constitutional convention, simply because tho Constitution of'cs was framed by tho Republican Party. It is of the utmost importance that the people look upon the organic law of the land with confidence and reaped. Without this, Insul)? ordination and lawlessness are thc inevitable results. Hut before we decide that a constitutional* con vention ir, needed, let consider well tho present condition of af fairs, ss well as tho hazard and expense of the proposed men? nure. Tb?? constitution 'if South Carolin*, albeit, a production of the Republican Party, is in many respects superior to the old one. It could be changed for tho better, by amendments, but WO fail to see the necessity for such radical changer?, that could not bo made in the usual mode. We are just now beginning to nee the beau.;, of our systwins; to understand tim con stitution, and do not believe that the people-are ready to undertake such a fundamental change in thc law of the land. ftlaee the turn of the tide, the Republican Party appears to de pend le-T upon the "monumental cheek" that has so long character ised that party. Hefore a caucus of Repu bu bl ?eau Senators a few days ago, Senator LOGAN modestly declined the unanimous nomina tion for tho position of Pr?sident pro tempor* of tho Senate. If JOHN BHKHMAN would go and do Likewise, we might hope that they hod really disgusted thomsolvos. i, vi] j )? ; i ' r ?j v . * / y - } *l \-*H Antl-Prohibio?h ' < in Atlanta are making a dep?rate fight and will probably succeed in having the recant election In that eily dc clarad ttltoMl. ?' \ v p v Thc Building ftud Loan.
