OAKLINOTON <v CO., Proprietors. TO BttSBT AT PHlLiblPPI, For some week- Titi: ADVBRTI* BBB has boen silent on tho subject bf the Farmer's or Tillman move ment. This interim however, bas not been occasioned by ail aban donment of the subject. While we nave said nothing, we have boen watching, and with ali the lights at our command, have been striving to ascertain the cause, as welt as the object of this great tu mult that has been raised; to see for what purpose this ?grund "army of men from tho mountains to the sea, "has resolved in their minds with one accord, to "meet at Phil lipp! ." Mr. Tillman is unquestionably tho leader and father of the "move ment." At his call the convention assembles, is prorogued, adjourned. His hand is recognized, and his word is law, from which no voice dares dissent. J The w atchword is "thorough'orgnnization" and a lieu tenant (organizer) is stationed in each County,Jand with a banner up on(whieh is inscribed "We'll meet at Phillipp!" themnrcb begins. Now, we desire to repeat here, what we have time and again ex pressed in these columns, that some pood will likely result from this agitation, and, from an organi zation of farmers properly conduct Ved, upon a broad and liberal basis, .seeking in truth to benefit tho far ?mers in every way possible, we -might confidently expect great ?good. But after the most critical ^examination of the Tillman move ^nifertt dSairly, impartially, and with ino nroiv e save a desiri* for the Htuth, We find many thing:-: which will*mot'ltring good results. And, ibelieving ie we do, we dare to ex *rci&ethe righi to speak of those Ihtngft Which in our judgment bring barm instead of good. When we look at the movement, beginning nt flic Columbia Conven tion, and when we read the pro ceedings in every County in the rotate wncTC the movement bas ta ken root, we find the utmost va riety of objects that the organisa tions have sought to accomplish. The main objection to the Tillman movement as it is to-day, is the heterogeneous form it has assumed. Wc lia ve long since abandoned the hope that il platform could be framed from the fragments of dis jointed timber, used in the various Counties during in the recent Pri maries. This inconsistency confounds us. In one County, one thing is advo cated, while in another it is abused. One section is striving to reduce taxation and another to increase it. How are wo to get at the object of the Tillman movement when wc hear groans coming up from this and other Counties, as to high tax es; when we hoar these organiza tions making positive demands for a less expensive government, one more suited to our impoverished condition and tho price of farm products; and then bear the grand Mogul declaring by his first resolu tions, that los object ls to establish an Agri ultural College, to have a new Constitution and other things which if carried out will cost some thing like $800,000. We defy any man to show where Mr. Tillman proposes to lessen the taxation. There aro members of tho farm ers movement in Laurens County who are working for reform; in deed we believe the majority an striving to lessen taxation and im prove the country generally, bul in our opinion there are those in high places in this movement win have no other object than to gain popularity. To satisfy personal ambition fthey pander to thai ?Vilich appears to be popular. Again, when the movement flrsl started, the leaders disclaimed pol? lites, sud one prominent leader, at least, said, in tho writers presence that 'hts soon a? the movement be came political, he would h a VC nothing to do with it." Now it is a standing boast that the move ment elected a majority of the rep resentativos to tho legislature. Why should they have denied that it*was political. Ho far as the Farmers' movement .eks to reduce the salaries to the lowest figures, having a regard for ?tho efficiency of tho officer, THK ^.liVBltTiSBit wishes lt ^God-speed, t^ubllc funds should be expended in ?ho mod economical manner, aud ?it is the duty of tho citizens to .point out all extravagance lu the Administration if any exists . This duty ls not limited to ?farmer? but .iseneumbenton u)J wh<o have the ^Igbts.of citlxejtydilp. ) ? ' i il" i I ii nam We believe that so.no salaries In tliis State should bo reduced, that the fees of seme olUcers lu tho I County should be'reJuoo'1,and that j the matter of attorney's fees in cor j tain oases is out of all reason, but j wo do not believe that tin "mon ? who have governed tts since 'rn' j aro either "debased" or "corrupt," I nor do we believe that an "oligarch j of lawyers" controls this State, or j that any good eau possibly be nc I cotnplished by farmers or any Dody j else by seeking to array one class I against another As a matter of information mere ly, some people would like to know what will be done at that meeting at Philllppl. THIS GRADED SCHOOL. Tito subject of a Graded School at this place is now an absorbing issue. It is a question which con cerns the citizens of the town, ?md more par iculary the taxpayers. The Graded School is nu institu tion whioll belongs to advance sys tems ami methods in teaching, which have been developed at a very recent date. It comes to us to-day as the result of yoirs of close study, and the labor of tho most celebrated educators. The efficiency of the system and the satisfaction that it gives] is shown by the fact, that although compar atively new, it leas been adopted ; by all the cities and the most pro I grossi ve towns in every State in the Union. No instance ison rec ord of un abandonment, after once having tested its merit This sys tem has wrought ft wonderful change In the education of child ren. Go to our largest cities and yon will (ind that the most learned and wealthy citizens no longer patronize private schools und tu tors, but because of the manifest advantage, tho sons and daughters of tho wealthy are found in thc Graded,-the Public Schools. A few days ago, the writer had a conversation with a gentleman w ho contemplated moving, either to Laurens or one of our neighbor ing town. Said he, "Laurens is my preference, I believe tho town has the best prospects, ami this is tlie preference of my family, but if I go to- my children can at tend the public schools nil year, free of charge, and to a man with several children, this ls n consider able item." Thus it is, a man who moves to ft town looks Mrst at the educational facilities. The schools of our town now, art' good, far bet ter than the average of the kimi, but when we see Spartanburg, Greenville and most of the town? around us offering free schools a* good or better titan ours, we can not expect many people to move to Laurens to educate their child ren. We confidently believe thal no money can he spent with bal the advantage to the town as thai which provides for education Nothing will build up a town mon rapidly, and anything that induce? even one citizen to locate her? benefits the property lodders. A Graded School, if established will receive the tax now collect?e in a certain school district. I' addition an appropriation from tin Peabody School Fund will be given and the balance necessary is rais ed by a small tax on the property in this school district. It is indect encouraging to know that at i recent melding of tho trustees o the Peabody Fund, it was agree? j to increase tho appropriation t< I South Carolina because of UK act that this State ha made most satisfactory progress o any in the South, in thc matter o public schools. If other section look no more interest in sue] things than Laurens, we doubt i this could be saul. We have receivi no benefit from tho Peabody Furn because as a condition precedent, i certain sum from the citizens mus ' first be raised. TWO PARTIES. The campaign which tho Demo eratic nominees have been COllduc i ting for tht* past few weeks has heel ? a farce and it is as it shotih i be. The people Of South Carolin I tire becoming heartily tired of at tending these meetings and listen ing to long-winded speeches whei tho speakers have nothing to saj Put if til?; campaign hail been in augurated before the nomination instead of after, the speakers WOUl have had large and enthusiast! audiences instead of tlie cold nm indifferent few who have turne out to hear what they had to saj But if WC eau judge by the sign of the times, henceforth we are t have more Interest in state politic Nominations will no longer b made by default, and wo hope Mia before the Democratic coiivontio assembles In ISMS, the whole stat will be thoroughly canvassed an delegates to this eon volition will b elected h if thc. people, Just as Count; officers aro now elected in titi County. Many of our contcmpororios hnv abused the nominees most tinnier clfully, only a few days lio/ore th election, and while to us flitch course is very unbecoming io thos who claim allegiance to tho Demo cratic party, yot it shows what we have ul ways believed, viz: That the Democratic porty lu this State would be divided Into two factious, t?o furas the counties th nt Rio over whelmingly Democratic ure con cerned, instead of? disadvantage, it will bo an ad van toge. Citizens in variably become Indifferent, when they have no choice in the nomi nation of officers, and political af faira stagnate when only one party exist?. K VOLUTION. While the action of Synod ut lt recent meeting in Citeraw on the Woodrow mutter, is not in accord with the feelings of a large portion of thc Presbyterian Church, yet lt is hoped thal tho public will now have a rest Oil Woodrow-EvoluHoil trials. In declaring the Perkins Professorship in the Seminary vn cant, that*Iiistltution has lost one of the greatest men und profound scholars In America. To think that such notion settles the question ns to tho creation of man, isas erro neous ns the ancient philosophy which taught that the earth w as flat. Presbyteries and Synods iain exclude the investigation of evolu tion from the Theological Seminary In Columbia, but they cannot" con vince those who know him that Dr. Woodrow is a heretic. His theo ries will conti -ne to occupy the at tention of scientists and theolo gians, ami will yet bo accepted as thc truth. Those who have watch ed those trials, whether they ac cept or rejeel his theory, cannot fail to note the contrast between the manly, chris*'tin conduct of Dr Woodrow, and the course of som? of his opponents who have substl tute, ridicule for argument. BACK-HAXDKO FMN?S. It seems that some people in tin j 2nd Congressional District, aide? by thc iWteu ?t Courier, ure makin; it wann for Hon. George D. Till man .'onto good democrats uri taking hold of politic s backward this year. Tue ptoper time to ol ject tn a candidate is either befor j he is nominated or after he Iseleel eil, and it is a strange code of pi Utica! ethics, thal suffers a cami date to bo abused hy bis own pai ty heforche Is elected. Mr. Tillman may or he may n< represent the views of "the majo ?ty in his District." That is not question to be discussednt this tim He is the nominee of the I )emoora ic party, made so by untinimoi vote, and fealty to party require .every true democrat to work for h f lection. Hut Mr. Tillman ht ninden serious blunder. Whileo. sorely ttfllictcd neighbors the "hinch district" ure strive, to elect n democrat over Small it scorns an Inopportune tin for a democratic Congressmi to "announce from the stun that "President Cleveland responsible for the low price Cotton." We heartily agree wi Mr. Tillman on the sliver questio and even if we could agree lo tl statement alluded to, we could n justify such nil utterance at th time. It cn rf. do no possldle goo and as has been seen, the neg politicians of Col. KI Hot t's distri are using it against him with poi refill effec t. The News ?fr Courter claims to I j a democratic newspaper, yoton t clay before the election Of a Con rcssman that paper conies out wi the Haming headliner!, "Ought not to retire? Who? Tho inisn resent?t?ve of the Second I) trict." This ls n queer way to WO for thc democrats. We notice also our esteem : contemporary, the drem rifle \e> has for several days immediate proceeding the election criticly the nominees of the democratic pi ty, with gloves ol?. Free cop of these criticisms hove been se tered throughout this county abundance. Ife'supposc these jo mils are working in the Interest good government nnd reform, I we respectfully submit that it ii queer mode they have adopt The Consideration ot' the Tai t<? bc Continued Nrxt Week I - Pin.
