ED. ADVKKTISKK:-In thu lust
Issue of your paper, 1 noticed Hint
you urged upon tho merchants of
Laurens the importance of organ- <
gnulling for the purpose of hone
Utting themselves in getting lower
freights. You say, they 'can do
nothing without co-operation and
unity of action." Now, litis is all
good and wadi, we see no objection
to it, hut some people cammi un
derstand why you and other parties
urge merchants lo organize, and !
object to farmers organizing to
protect the tr interests.
It seems that some people are
either too dull to comprehend or
else have a desire to misrepresent
our position on certain questions.
Whenever TnK ADVKRTISKH has
settled convictions, we propose to
express these convictions. We
have stated, time and again, our
position on the farmers' organiza*
tions, and we defy any man to -how
one line that lias appeared in TtIK
ADVEUTISKU, that can be construed
into an''objection" to farmers'or
ganizations. Wo have advocated,
and still urge such organizations.
Let the merchants organize to
benefit themselves; lid the doctors
organize to benefit themselves; let
the farmers organize to benefit
themselves and promote the ngi
culturai Interest. If the govern
ment needs overhauling; if the po
litical affairs of tho country need
attention, let a political organiza
tion look into this matter. In poli
tics, not one, hut every citizen has
an interest, and every interest
should he represented in political
organizations. \\'e urge merchants
to organize, hi t not for the pur
pose of nominating candidates.
"We urge fanners to organize, but
not for tho purpose of forming a
political party.
When it conies to politics, as all
citizens are interested, all should
have a voice. Wo do object to an
organization of farmers assuming,
because of their strengh, that they,
above all oilier democrats, should
Bay who shall make our laws. Tho
simon pure farmers of Laurens
County are perfectly willing that
tile democratic party shall suggest
candidates, and that too, hy means
of the Primary. It is not thc
farmers, hut farmer politicians w ho
favor the convention.
We Simply say t.> "S," the tile of
our paper is at his disposal and lie
may, at his leisure, lind our "objec
tion to farmers organizations."
1*111 up or shut up. After a close
examinai ion, we venture the as
sertion that ho will only find that
ve llOVO bitterly Opposed the idea
that any one class or profession
cou ?<t i tul ex the democrat ic] party.
It is self-evldont that the Primary
and Convention plans are antago
nistic, and of the two, we prefer
flu1 choice of the democratic party
-tile Primary.
TOO PREVIOUS AS A LEAD
ER.
Mr. W. W. . RCJHHKMi ha? been
making himself conspicuous ro
pently as a champion of the farmer-'
movement. The limo ls within
tho memory of man, when this
same W. W. RUSSELL made him
self conspicuous as a leader of the
short-lived political organization,
know as tho Greenback Party in
this State. Ju a letter, he slates
that he "suspects that the farmers
Will be opposed hy three (dusses:
bankers,salaried men and lawyers."
In view of tile fact that the farmers
claim tt) work for the good of the
agricultural interests and an eco
nomic administration, it ls some
what difficult to understand why
UbHHRM. should "suspect" any
thing of the kind. Do not law yers,
bankers and salaried men own
property that must be taxed lo
support the government?
So far as we can see, the writer
of such a letter bas but one object;
to army farmers ns a class agninst
every other class. Doubtless there
was a time when Mr. PI SSKM. bad
reason to suspect that he would be
opposed at every step by all loyal
democrats, and his suspicions were
not without foundation. Hut, fail
ing to win distinction ns a (?reen
backer, he now asks admission into
another party, and heralds his ac
ceptance by an Informal declara
tion of war. When such men
can disturb the political <? (ui
librium, it is time to ask, "Whither
aro wo drifting."
THE POLITICAL latOBLEM.
"It makes us (ired" to hear men
forever protending that farmers
uro imposed upon In the adminis
tration of IllWS. Wo hear men coll
timiall.v talking nbotlt those who
are "opposed" to farmers. We do
not believe that titer*, is an intel
ligent man in Laurens County who
really would, il* he hud the power,
do aught to injure this class of citi
zens. Who eau be boncIUtod l'y
poor crops? Is it Hie lawyer, doe
tor, mer 'liant, toucher, carpenter,
blacksmith ? Who is it ?
NO; ymi may look in vain for
those who seek to injure farmers.
Men ditter ns to what political
measures art1 for the good of tho
country, hui Hie real question nf or
all is to place men in olllce who
have (lie good sense and sound
judgment, to decide (hese (?..lec
tions intelligently. We n?'o op
posed (<? any class of citizens mak
ing political nominations. Tho
democratic party has adopted ila
primary election sy stem of making
these nominations, and any con
vention Msuggeslees" in tho Held
will necessarily defeat the spirit of
the primary. The democratic
party- tts an organization, allows
farmers and every odie!" elliss a
voice, and wo believe (hi-- or
ganization is amply stttticicat lo
meet tho demands of the times.
Tills lieino; tho casi', we do most
heartily oppose any political or
ganization that seeks to supplant
democracy, whether it be fanners
or republicans, ll the democratic
party has failed to redeem pledges;
il it cannot make nominations by
the mode adopted, (hen wo might
Join somo other political organiza
tion, When Farmers'Clubs assem
ble Hiey should discuss agriculture,
and when they discus?< politics, il
should bc done in democratic clubs.
Farmers can discuss politic-, and
should ?lo so; not as farmers, but
as citizens-as democrats.
"Tili: FAMILY PHYSICIAN.
The average woman of to-day
must experience a pang of Inex
pressible horror when she remem
bers that there was a time when thc
patent medicine m in, who now oc
cupies tho most prominent place in
her vocabulary as a benefactor, was
unknown, ll* we reflect fora mo
ment upon the amount of medicino
used annually by thc .human race,
i we see that it is a greater burden
than a protective tarin*. Lot II man
or woman read a patent medicine
circular for a few hours, and al
though they may be perfectly well
when they begin, before (hey will
have finished they imagine they
feel tho symptonis of almost every
disease therein described. .Medi
cine is a good thing, but it some
times appears an open question
whether more more harm or good
results from its use. Certain it i<
that much of ill-health and broken
down constitutions can be traced
to tho constant uso of quack rein
dies. When a person is sick somo
good physician should be consulted,
but don't imagine ho is a poor phy
sician because he fails 'to give you
physic. Fully one-half of thc pains
and ache.-) that <all Cordi our spe
cific euro-alls, aro imaginary and,
and two-thirds of tho oilier hall
would be avoided If we should heed
thc simplest rules of health.
Elsewhere wo publish General
BitATTox's letter. in tho main,
this letter coincides with what has
time and again appeared in Tin;
ADVKKTISKK. f?en. BHATTON isa
man who has shown his patriotism
in war ami in peace. Ono w ho has
witnessed or road his military ex
I phots, or who has seen him since
tho war laboring on his farm, can
but admire him as a man. I io ls
emphatically a farmer. His inter
est is in farming, but Ito has (bo
magnanimity to recognize those
who happen to follow in other
calilngs, ns d?mocraties, and en
titled to a hearing. Ho is bold,
conservative and pure, and South
Carolina would do herself credit
by making him Governor.
Whatever may bo done or left
undone by tho next legislature, we
hope thoconsus will be taken, it
seems to us that tho whole State
should seo the Importance of having
tho representation In thc legisla
ture correctly apportioned. Ac
cording to tho V. S. census of 1880,
Laurens would bo entillod to five
representatives, and from tho rapid
development Of our County in the
past few years, it is probable that
wo may now ha vi! six. Anyway,
let us have what is ours.

A Uligal Bins! From <it u. Brut
ton.
In a to letter the Winsboro' Xe te* I
et/id Herald (Jen. John Brutton ox
plaines his position in reference to
the farmers' movement. lie say-:
t desire to he ilestlnetly under
stood as according t<> the advocates ,
of the farmers' movement the hon
esty of purpose and good faith thal
1 ciaini for myself. and Indeed have
ever claimed for Iho -lindy farm
ers of the land in public matters.
Thc expression "to the manor
born," with all UH- devoted lldeltty
to country that ? carries willi it,
bas ever bee ti associated in my
mind especially willi the owners
and tillers of the soil. Their Inter
ests ure as llxed a - Hie soil itself.
They cunno! be stored in safes, or
ooxed and sent o (Vio foreign vaults
in the Ihne of (rouble. They mus!
abide (ho fate of Ihelr country
whether it he dova-tated by an in
vading f>>e, o' rent anil torn by in
internal dissensions and class con
flicts, or candy rests under thc
poacful reign <>f law based on mut
ual concessions. If Hwy aro not 1
(rue lu their hearts to (he hes I In
terests of tile Slate, where are WC |
to look for fidelity ?
With no doubt as to their mo
tives I hoped and expected that Hie
Convention would be an effective
agency of agitation, and by it- con
i sideral i<>n and discussion ol'the Hg
! rieultural situation renell some I ii -
I tclligcnt conclusion as to thc cause
j of the depression, or, a! least, throw
some lighl on the subject and to
that CXtoll! allay the unre>t and
discontent which seem lo prevail.
It was w ith feelings of disappoint
ment and legre! thal I found myself
unalile t<i concur in the action ol'
(he convention or in the assump
tions, on w !'Ich it seems t<> hu\c
been predicted. I -ay seems, be
cause in the published proceedings
; (he ground' on which the action
Was based are md el.'arly and dell
' uitely staled. There seemed ti? be
. a vague, indefinite idea that Hu;
j body politic was tl filleted with lep
I rosy and honeycombed with rotten
ness, and that amid Ihh rubbish of
? leprosy and rottenness, concealed
soine-where, ls a masked em my lo
I (tie agricultural Interests <d' tho
state. I cannot concur in Hie ?dca

from (he 'armers of the State, by
any other class ?n (he Kt a te, or (hal
(he agrieultUrnl depession provail
llng ls in any way, shape or lorin at
, tributadlo to Hie conduct of our
I ?State Government. The adminis

luis ne\er been excelled in purity
or in (hlcliiy to constitutional ob

i an honor und blessing !<. Hie |.pie
of the statt; as long as it is controlled
I by a political organization which
, combine- in harmonious union thc
conservatism, (lie intelligence and
the character of nil classes of our
?imple, vi hether the oftlvesuire llllcil
I by farmer:- or not.
If lhere ls an individual, or a
class, organized or disorganized, in
the limits (d' the State, in hostile
attitude to Hie, agricultural inter
ests of the ?State, I Will \elllle lo
say (hat he ur they are sn closely
masked as to defy the -kill ol' Hie
liest scouts of the farmers' anny (o
locate them. To my mind it is all
baseless assn m pt ?on-put Hug up au
imaginary enemy in order to get
up a lighl.
Hut grant the correct ness nt* these
i assumptions-do (he mensures pro
posed renell and cure the evils?
l)o they tend to gen rate <>r call
Into service a healthy, sound, ele
vated, liberal and enlightened pub
lic sentiment ? This i - the only
reliant'!-the single and -ole agen
cy by which roiienncss in a (Jov
ernnienf like ours can be reached
ami eradicated. To meet the as
sumed condition (which by lite
way has strayed entirely away
1 fruin tho incipient object of tho
Convention, namely, agricultural
depression and its cause) Hie larm
er- are culled upon lo organize as a
class, to enforce class legislation
lo capture the Legislature lo take
' what l?gislation I hey waul, liny
are to call a convention of Hie pi o
ple, and reorganize the Govern
ment t?> si.il their view-. Ill the
meantime, such institutions as (lie
assembled wisdom of all classed of
the State have been able, with
.' patient and carnes! labor in Ad
justing complications and sur
, mounting difliculHcs, to build on
I ashes ol'our ruins, are to be felled
?atone blow as State institutions,
and, w it bout regard to cost, con
verted into class establishments.
If the farmers organize for sucha
light (hey will inaugurale (Mass
conflict, in which (ho actions of
men are governed, not by modera
tion and wisdom and calm consider
ation for the common weal, but by
passion and prejudice. Will this,
I submit to the organizers, call in
to action that sound, healthy public
sent ?men! that you need to cure
rottenness in the Government ?
It seems that one of tho purposes
of the movement is to take hy leg
islation for tho benefit of tho farm
ers their just share of tho public
treasure. When the power is ob
tained hy such means to do that,
w ho is to determino what tho just
s^are of the farmer class la? Who
is to mensuro tho grab? Where is
the authority for distributing the
public treasure, justly or unjustly,
among tho classes of our people?
When was it ever done in our
country) except unjustly and indi
re. Hy, as is proposed here, hy clnss
legislation, the great source to
w hich some of us trace the depres
sion of our industries? I mean
Peder? I class legislation, however,
not State. Dui push on n step
f uri li ii r. We make tlds class fight
and win. And wiiut do we ns
farmers, or our agricultural inter
ests, gnin to remunerate UH for tho
wounds and scars With which n
Crippled and debased political sen
timent emerges from the Conflict?
We w ill have lowed ourstnudard
of education, especially that of the
farmer, by ftuhstitutinp
of expense, a set of special class
chords for our State I in i vt; rsi! v
(?<?II of llio class dlsstusions and
strife which WO have inaugurated.
The State will not he allowed to
concentrate her educational
strengths, and, in her impoverished
condition, exercise th" highest and
widest economy in affording oppor
tunities for the moral and intellec
tual culture of hor sons, and, break
ing down class lines, train up all
lalo one hearty, healthy, strong
family mutually dependent, mutu
ally supporting and ul ways stru
g?ng together for tho welfare, honer
and glory of their common mother.
How this is to bellell! tho farmers
as a class, or the agricultural inter
ests of the State, it will he difUcillt
to show.
There is one assumption thal I
neglected to mention, which ls cor
re "t, and that is, that thc farmers
eon -1 ii ut e Hu- majority of the domi
nan! political party of the stat?.
This is a Hrst-eluss ground for not
or uni/.ing as farmers for political
purposes, as in that dominant
party only can they wield their
political strength wisely for the
welfare of th - Stale and for the
henelll of themselves. hut the
programme is an appeal lo them,
not lo assert that strength as eiti
fcens and Democruts, hut to organ
ize ? and w ield it a- class power
f >r ela -- purposes. This power is
tobe wielded within the lines of
Ute Democratic part? Thai is the
avowed and, I believe, the sincere
intention of the movers and or
ganizers. Will such a movement
contribute to (be harmony and elli
cioney of Hud porty? ls there any
