It Is now n settled fact timi thc farmers nil over tho country will make a desperate offert to perfect ?n organization, or at least to ho rep resented in tho Convention which will soon assemble in Columbia. Tlie exact course w hich thia Con vention will pursue, remains to ba seen. It really appears that tho time has come- for something to be done to benefit the agricultural In terest of the community. Wo are heartily in sympathy with all who desire to benefit tho farmers, and thus benefit the State. While it is known that agriculture is not n*< prosperous as it should he, yet wc do not think thal tho farmers are injured by tho Iowa of our Sta lo to aitch an extent as some would moko it appear. A great deni could bo dose by way ol improvement, per haps, but it is a mistaken idea to suppose that legislation can mnkc agriculture a profitable business. We are in favor of a Convention, and if nothing more is accomplished, this Convention may bring tho farmers to sec the importance of Farmers' Institutes ; lt may servo tojnnke farmers realize thc neces sity of studying agriculture as a science; it may possibly suggest a plan by which tho burden of tax ation will be lessened; and, al though wo have criticised Mr. Till man severely, if under his leader ship any one of these can bc accom plished, the Convention will uot have been a failure. Wo admit that many practical suggestions have been made, yet, wo ure still most unequivocally op posed to any class of men, in dem ocratic ranks, forming themselves into A political party and declaring that because they uri; in the ma jority, they will rule tb ? country. If we say that tho unqalifled will of the majority shall rule, then wc must leave the selection of officers in tho hands of,thc negroes. Mr. Tillman d?chires that h< does not desire to form a political organization, and we trust lie is sincere, yet we are unable to sec why he Ls so anxious to address thc farmers in the various counties be fore the Primarii J\lr rf inn. Ile addressed at least two letters to Agricultural Clubs that invited him to speak, and declined on ac count of pressing business; but said he would surely address them be fore Ihr Primary Klection. it h certainly misleading If he is roallj seeking to benefit the farmers sole from an Agricultural standpoint Wc Will, however, give him th? benefit of the favorable impressen made by his latest communication and hopo that, even if his first plat was to rule or ruin, he is now work lng for tho good of the class whoir lie represents. Senator Honrs Inquest Bill. This bill provides that, "when ever three citizens of tho Unito< States shall, under oath, pre icnt t< any Judge of tho Circuit Court their petition sotting forth thal within tho circuit of which sud Judgo has jurisdiction any perso? lias boon killed, or bas sttstainoc bodily injury, or i orion s injury, ii 'his estate, or has boep throateno? with injury in person or estate be cause of the race or color of sud person so killed, injured or threai Sued, or because of tho political dpiniiiion it shall bo tho duty ol such Judge to hold nu huptest int? the circumstances of such killing injury or threatening, said Judgt shall forthwith report the evidence hy liim taken and his conclusions of fact thereon to tho I'rosideht Ol the United States, to be by bim Ir.hl before Congress," As tho Judge.' of the United States Court- are ap pointed for life, and arc Republic ans, we consider this a direct at tempt to pave the way for political persecutions. Instead of an Inquest those Courts would hold un inqui sition similar to thone of thc twelfth century Which were'e-(ub llshed to convict heretics.- The sen ate has already assumed a charadt?? that savors of tho Star Chamber; and when thc General Coverninont Ignores tho rights of tho Slates by taking from thom all control in o lin in al matters, wo aro most as suredly on dangerous grounds. Whllo we havo had almost perl* Qdically, disturbances between 'thc laboring classes and capitalists in the North and Northwest, and these diff?rences have generally bee? settled without serious. damage, yot the present outlook in these sections is not encouraging. La bor organizations aro gaining in the South, and oro long It will un doubtedly bo a strong check upon scrupulous capital. Tho (louth of Senator Miller, of California, gives the Democratic ?hie of Iho Senate an additional member for tho present, na the Democratic Governor vvill of course appoint n man of the saino politi cal faith; but some of tho Western papers (bink that this is unjust. They say as Miller was a Repub lican, tho mun who fills Iiis pince should also bo a Republican. Suro Ij chose pupers have forgotten who succeeded tho late Vice-President l Lendricks, Hon. Samuel nibbln thinks it neither desirable nor proper to "dc moud of Congress n speedy aboli tion of artiticial barriers and Gov ernment toll-gates." For Tun ADVERTISER.

Tho correspondentof the Augusta Clirolcle, describes a cartoon on the farmers agitation which lias rccont ly beou prosoncd to him in tho fol lowing manner : "it is the work of a Newberry artist. Tho scone is laid in tho coun try, but in tho distance is seen u largo and handsome building. This building Tor tho purpose ot tho politicians is called an agricultural college, but it is actually tho Gov ernor's mansion, Approaching vliis edifice along a dusty road two po litical teams arc travelling. The il rat is a somewhat delapidated wagon drawn by a spavined mule and an aged ox. The driver ls Moses Till - man, arrayed in his priestly robes and bearing in his hand a rod, which serves tho purpose of a flag-staff, upon the top of which a serpent represents tho banner of (ho organi zation. In tho front of the wagon, nt Muse.-.' feet are Iho&tono tablets with the commandments. The w ag on is filled to overflowing. This crowd is called the "Lost tribe of Isreal." The wagon is evidently overloaded, as ono wheel is leaving the axle und tho motive pow er ls rapidly becoming exhausted. Rilling rapidly in th? rear is the M utter of t hr? State Orange moun ted on a new bicycle, fc? which is attached a stout wagon by a ropo. The rider calls out to tho travellers in front of bini to "pile in but no .Moses for nie,'' while above his wagon a sign indicates that the seat- therein have been reserved for all "simon pure (J rangers." The author clearly thinks that t his team will win the race. Near by, but still in the rear the free trader is pushing bis humble wheelbarrow not yet having age ot financial strcngth'enough to own a wagon. Off lu the distance, on a bill in Cull view of tho contest below n few farmers have gathered to meet the convention. They have responded to tho call and they are ready to save their beloved State from tho impending evils thal have been pictured to them by tho agitators. They are about lo conclude that it bas been a falso alario, when one of tho most watchful of their num ber observes the procession below, which should have been coming in i the direction of ibo convetion, bead ing directly for thc < loverner,s man sion, and turning excitedly to his companions declares "they have tuck tho wrong road by thunder!" The picture is a good burlesque on the sit nat ion. About Lawyers. I f you Impress a wrong Iden upon tho mind of a child il ls alomost un impossibility to eradicate ii. liv ery one recognizes this bul still nit quietly and allow such ten? bing to go on. A conspicuous example of this kimi is the false impression as to the character ?if law vers which wo all re?oive and believe from our youth up. lt all comes from tho fourth fable In Webster's Element ary Spelling Rook. The child ut school linds tho shrewd farmer nm! tho unsuspected lawyer pictured off in a rude wood cut in the back of his book and is at once taken with the illustration, lt is "object teaching." He reads the simple story of bow the lawyer changes his opinion und profoundly boll Vos that a lawyer will lie whenever tho occasion arises. Ile believes that the lawyer is always "on the make thar ho ls unscrupulous and selfish, and hastily pushes tho truth aside if it affects his interests. He never thinks for & moment that tho shrewd fanner came for advice with falsehood on his lips. In a manner ho justifies all this, and thinks deception ls of ito account ?o long a?; it is practiced by tho fann er. The idea of the lawyer's trick ery goes with the youth all of his life. Ile cannot divest himself of the Impessinu. lt is not only ono person who cherishes thc id? u, bul all tito generations which have read the fable commence life with tin' same prejudice, lt (dings io a majority of our people. The pure and spotless lives of a hundred at torneys counts for nothing. The illustrious examples of pal riot ism, and the thousands of deeds of char ity and self-sacraflce which huvo distinguish the legal fraternity of this broad country have mad" no change in the prejudice of the mass es. When the young lawyer starts in lifo he has this weight to carry, which Increases his hardships. A ll his life bo will have to "row ngnnst tho tide." Such should not be tho ease, but it is true thal even the mos! learned men of other occupa tions live without prejudice all of ; their days.-Abbeville Medium. \ -A new branch of industry has developed In New Mexico. The Hoard of Commissioners of (?rant County advertise that they will pay $200 reward for each and every hostile Apache killed "mi presen* tatton to the Hoard of the scalp of Bitch Indian." It is not supposed that the sculps are desired for their Intrinsic value, but mendy as a guarantee of good faith. There may be some difficulty in distin guishing between the the sculps of hostile nnd peaceable Apaches, but as the frontier view is that "the only good Indian is a dead Indian,'' this trifling obstacle will scarcely be permit led to stand in tho way of a booming business in scalps. There is not another sect under heaven so filled with tho spirit of nroselytoism as the Adventists. They labor moro earnestly to tear others down than they do tocoavort sinners.

New York lins a doctor of un usual brightness who has buqled himself lately writing pithy and scholarly monograms on some of tim baptizod and indorsed evils of so ciety. His latest manifesto is on "How Coffee Affects People," ami the aim of the paper is to show that coffee is ono of the most powerful drugs in tho list of medicines. The proof of its power as a drug ls shown by the fact that ll Ls used to a greater extent than any other as au anti dote for poisons, hot h animai und vegetable. Ile urges that he does not desire to reach tho ear of the public in general; but of those-who have pains in the region of the heart, oppressed breathing and an irregular pulse; those who are ex ceedingly nervous ctol unable to sleep at night; those who have ;i full feeling, dlzzim ss and pains of a neuralgic character in the head; who have nausea and sourness of the stomach without having trans gressed thc law s of lifo; who have pains In thc liver, a yeller skin, with eyes of the satoe sort ; and lastly, who lui ve hemorrhoids. If tho .doctor supposes he has left out one br two Of all creation from this list ho may bo right, but he cer tainly is mow ing a wide swath, and may honestly say he is after ?tho* ear of the public.
