"I'd rather ho an unit Of au united and Imperial ''l'on,' Thun Hinno a lonely though a gilded oiphor." History tells us that even some of those Who nilled in the forma tion of the Republic of America, doubted tho stability of our insti tutions. Aa late as the second presidential election, JOHN ADAMS contended that a certain mixture of aristoc racy with monarchy was neces sary to that balance of interest without will *h free government could not exist. Not SO tho illus trious JEFKKRSOX. Me who was the fut her of democracy, insisted that free government could only exist when the people wore capable of governing themselves. Democ racy, pure and simple, moans that the people as a whole whall man age political affairs. After the lapse of almost a century, it seems that there aro still those who fear to trust tho peopje-who advocate an aristocratic policy. In South Carolina, there was a time when democracy, puro and simple, was impracticable. There was a time when tho voice of tho people was hushed from policy. The tight then was not for demo cratic principios so mindi us against corruption. Ignorance and niions usurped tho government, und, in order that honesty and intelligence might be successful, the democratic party chose discreet moon to moot in convention to place in nomina tion, not mon who M ere the choice of the people, but thc most avail able candidates. The necessity for this no longer exists. Thc nomi nation by the democratic party is equivalent to an election, and we look with suspicion upon any move ment that seeks to take the ballot from the people nt largo, and place? lt in thc hands of the few. Tin* political outlook in 1.aurons County is becoming interesting to say the toast of it. Hero we have Farmers'Clubs passing resolutions swearing (denial allegiance to tho Farmers' Candidates, orto uso their own words, they pledge themselves to support "only such candidates asare in full sympathy with tho farmers' movement." Then they recommend that the delegates to County Club shall nemo a Senator and throe representatives who uro lu Sympal A y with the movement. Here is the situation in a nut shell: "We farmers need redress In the laws, we do not know who will protoct our interests, but WC will allow eighty-one mon to select sind? for US. We, who are the bono ami sinew of the country, ure not capable of choos rulcrs, hut wo swear allegiance to the eighty-one ?ire able to choose for us." Away with such boss-ism! Tho is sue is now made. Choose Iud ween the primary and convention. The democratic party allows every mun in the County to run for office If lie see's fit, and every man to make his own selec tion. Another party, .ve know not what to cal! it, asks that eighty-one of its members be ttllowod to make selections for you. Decide between Olegarchy and Democracy. Certainly, from this "quarter" ito objection shall over om?nate itgainst it candidate who will pro tect the farmers. They have grievances that demand attention. Hut when tho people as ll whole ian no longer choose for themselves Dy menus of the ballot, but must lo so by representatives, then tho Republic is a failure. We have the utmost confidence in the integrity ami wisdom of tho 'armers of Laurens County, and we dill do not believe that they ?le dro suggestions or nominations 'rom any source. We believe they nive an Intelligent idon of what they need, und certainly no one can fetter determine who uro worthy >f trust und confidence thun thom? iel ves. We asked n farmer friend, n few lays ago, what he understood by ho "farmers movement." Hesald ie did not clearly understand, un ess it was a scheme to catch nil thc awyers and knock every other one it the hoad ; this, H? thought, would ?en goori joke on tlrom. _V- i When Laurens County sanctions , measure, she pushes if to the hitter nd. "Whole hog or none" is her notto. This is election year, subscribe :>r Tn K Ai>V i* UT I s tin. TAXED COST. Hov. SLKJII, of Newberry intro doced a resolution 111 the Furniers' Convention agni IIS t "Taxed Cost." .lust what Is meant by taxed cost, WO do not kltOW. It ?".-.ludes tl?e money which is allowed tho Clerk, Sherill", Wetnesses, Jurors and At torneys, und how it i i proposed to pay thoso parties without taxing their cost/ ls not suggested. lt may be that tho Senator from Newberry only seeks to abolish tho small foo that tho law allows to bo taxed against tho dofeatotl party, for tho attorney who ts successful in a civil action, it' (ids be true, it is a small mutter, so far as lawyers ure concerned. Sundy the pitiful sum which the law allows to he taxed will pot seriously affect tho pro fession. Tho only effect weean see from such n '-ourse, is, timi lawyers will add t Ids sum to the fees charged their clients, and demand payment in ndv<?.nee. Hut, wo oppose such a measure, because it places a premium on rascality. Kverybody knows that small accounts placed in tho hands of attorneys ure often collected w ithout suit, simply because an ac tion at law would Involve addition al expense upon the debtor. There ?uv many men who four a judg ment simply because of the cost, and if you remove tliis, some men would force every creditor to go to the trouble ?iud expense of obtain ing judgment, even upon (daims known to he just ?ind honest. The measure we believe to lie a boomerang hurled at the legal pro fession, hut which will recoil and strike with double force against tlie parties litigant. Tlie foe-bill regulates the cost ol j all officers of the county including I witnesses, constables, otc. This taxed cost is a small matter. Tlie great burden in tliis direction is not in the amount that the foe bill allows to attorneys, hut in tho exhorhitant fees which attorneys in some instances charge, under the sanction of the Court. Here H Where tlie trouble comes. It is not in thc law, hut in tho practico of law. To abolish "taxed cost" will I hut add lo this grievance. The fec ; bill allows four dollar- for a sum mons, four for a complaint, Ac, to attorneys. Witnesses arc allowed one dollar a day and milage. [f I these things appear burdensome or exhorhitant, a reduction can bo easily effected. Hut a careful exam ination Of thi- mutter will convince any unprejudiced mind that the trouble ls US above indicated. , THE OFFICE OF ?MASTER, How any intelligent man can <>i> Joct to thc oilico of Master In Kqtlity is hard to understand. Vet wc find that there arc those who persist in demanding its abolition, [f this objection should arise from young lawyers it would lie easily explained, for an examination of tbc records will show that before tlie oilico was created, ?it least four (?mes the amount now received hy thc Master, was paid to special referees. In many COSOS the Mus ter i s employed l'or several days in I... , taking testimony, and to require I all this mass of evidence to he taken in Court, would require a session ?it least four times ns long ?is it ls now. This is out of the question. Tho j otb cc is necessary. Without it, wo must go hack to the special referee ' system. Tho Master is allowed a fee of $11.00 for OVOry ?lay he is actu ally employed in a leferencc It is utterly Impossible to lind a lawyer who would undertake to act ?is special referee without a guarantee of from twenty-live to three hun dred dollars. TJIE A DVKitTiSEit desires to re pent that the farmers' mnvem. it ns inaugurated hy B. ll. TILLMAN is likely to bring good results. As we stated Immediately alter tim Convention, wo think some of the proposed measures wisc, ?ind some objectionable. Upon the whole, the movement is calculated to make the voters take more interest in the affairs of government. Hut certainly, those who aro looking for a reduction of taxation will not lind it in the proceeding of this body. Nor will tllOSO w ho are seek ing benefits from an agricultural point of view. Wc have from the first recog nized it ns u political movement, ?md surely no one can for u mo ment, nt this stage, doubt our cor rectness, so far ?is Laurens County is concerned. Yet, as a political mov.ment, so long as the ballot ls left in hands of the the people, to he cast Intelligently and without res traint, we do not see any barm. Hut why a set of mini should dis claim politics ?md yet seek to make political nominations, is bard to understand. - Nearly 20,000 people ure esti mated to nave been killed hy wild beasts ?md poisonous reptiles in india Inst year. Over 60,000 peo ple are killed by snakes und mon key* In the United States every year, and yet very little is said about it in fd ber countries.- /->. Jw u THIS Pit I M'Alt Y l?M?? TION. The modcjof making nominations adopted by tho democratic party, while open to some objections, is moro in accordance with demo ? eratic principien thou any other j mode yid devised. Tho object of ' Hie Primary is, timi Otteh candidate ? may come indore tin* people to discuss political measures and ex press their views. Thc object is not to facilitate the election of any particular candidate, but to place snell men in ofliec as the majority ot* voters elect. The essence of tho ? Primary system is that the people ! elect men w ho will carry out their , will,-mon whom they can trust. Now any oil'ort on tho part of any organizations to forestall the Pri mary by nominating certain can didates, is contrary to the spirit of Hie Primary system. This is the system adopted hy the democratic party, consequently, it is contrary to tliis parly and antagonistic to it. Tho democratic party is a distinct Organization. It is not simply thc embodyment of certain principles, but an organized political party. So long as this party nominates candidates hy a plan diametrically opposed to the convention plan; any nomination by a convention, is in opposition to tliis party. Hut they say these nominations or suggestions are not binding, they simply show tlie farmers who are in sympathy with them. To this, we have only to say: If these nominations will md induce men to vote for tho candidates nomi nated, w hy make suggest ions ? The dillis pledge their support to the farmers' candidates in advance, the convention declares who these can didates ari>, and it is lint natural to conclude that the members of the clubs will feel duty hoirid to sup port tho candidates of the conven tion. A nundi bettor plan, and one that does not antagonize thc democratic party, would he to let the candi dates express their views, and those whoso views accord with the views of tlie farmers, will surely he elected. Lisbon Fa trine rs' Club. At a regular melding of the Lls j l?on Farmers' Club, on May 2*2(1, ; issi;, thc subject of hay or long j forage crop was discussed, with much Interest manifested by a full j meeting of tito (duh. The fliscUS I sion brought out a great variety of ! grasses thal could, with very little , labor and attention, he made very ' profitable to the farmer. Test of the sorghum, milo moise, millets j and our native grasses were given : by sev eral members, - bow ing them very valuable in forage crop-; glv ! lng heavy yield- from the land-, I requiring little work and easily saved or cured, and very -palatable j to work stock, showing very clearly that any farmer call cheaply raise and save au abundance ol long forage for all of hi- stock. The following preamble and reso ! Hons were unanimously adopted: j IV nie UK AH, tho wants of tho peo I plo can only he suggested to thc j legislature through organizations, I and those wan'- made intelligent; ; and w hereas the farmers in con vention assembled ut Columbia, on the 2i)th ult., viewed the condition I of the state agriculturally, Hmm j chilly und otherwise; and w hereas, I the depressed condition of tho I country, a tributalde to extrava gance at home as weil as c.xorbl j taut expenditure by the depart ; monts of tho state Government, j producing patent, wide-spread dls i satisfaction throughout the State; und whereas, this condition of our country excites suspicion and a constantly Increasing burden of taxation, necessarily' causing dis satisfaction in the mind of the peo ple.

At tho Ministers Molding in Lou isville, Ky., on Monday of Inst woolf. Kev. Dr. C. Ilomphill took occasion to correct certain mts.; j representations which had been j mude In regard to remarks of Iiis i about amusements and kindred subjects made at ll previous meet ing. Ko said : "Uoforo entering upon tho dis cussion of tho question before tho Association, I desire to correct sumo misapprehensions of my ro Lmurks lit tho lust molding.
