TILLMAN MOVEMENT. During- tho Inst political cam paign this paper snout ?1 great deni of thuo in trying; tu solve tho prob lem us to what constituted tho Till man movement. Wc hoard ol "Farmers' movomont" on nil sidos, and yet, you asked one if it was a political movement, tho baro sug gestion would glvo offence, Thou you would lind a mun who without answering the question would be gin n harangue as to the right of farmers todiscuss'potltics, und such stuff ns every mail knows is true, anti hus 1 e . er been doubted by any one. Uhoio who] hud politic al aspirations swallowed tho myth, -movement-without knowing or caring to have any well-defined1 iden of what Ohe niovement meant. At n rocetl( meeting of tho Till ninnitcs in Kdgefiold ttl w hich the grand Mogul was present, und il is stated, tho lawyers and doctors present could have out-voted the farmers, the Agricultural and Me chanical Association was swallow ed up by tho Central (Movement) Club bodily, funds and property. In giving an account of this moo ting; tho correspondent to the Reg istcr says; lt was generally deplored that the prent runners' niovement Ihrotiirhottt the state loni taken Oil so much politics. In fact it was ncknowdodirod even hy Tillman that the masses weir laboring under the solo misapprehension thal the main anti only object of tho move* mont was political. Wc must admit that TllK Ai> VERTISF.lt has labored under this misapprehension which Mr. TILL MAN deplores. Wo thought thc niOVOtnont political and leave to our readers to say if, so far ns this county ls concerned, wo had grounds for this belief. But this correspondent says fur ther: TIlOV suv. if It is necessary to have t ho politics hi order to eoniiiinnn tho requl slte interest omi enthusiasm to ace? 111 plish the reforms in Ibo manner und mode nf farming und agricultural pur suits, thou we must have tho politics. If this be the plan, we despair of seeing any good results from the movement. If the farmers will have political (dubs, (and we would prefer to hear thom called D?mo cratie (.'lubs) seporatc and distinct from the Agricultural clubs, they might accomplish something, bul when they combine the two, after the heat or tho political campaign is over, the w hole tiling tumbles to the ground. THU PUBLIC SCHOOLS. The Newberry Ohsrrrrr, who is certainly pot in sympathy with the free school system, says : . The Laurens A OVKIlTlXKll agrees with tho Observer thal tho Constitution re uniros Ibo term to bo at leal six months; hut objects to tho plan of paying flo a month from the pu hi ic fund ami supple menting nil schools by private subscrip tion.' because, ii says, tnis destroys the free part ot'the school. Not at al'. On thc contrary, it gives ti Cree school of six months. Wo object to this plan, because if atuitlon fee, however small, bas to be paid in our public ?school, it is not a free schoo!. No good teacher can work for .$10.00 a month; then if ho must depend upon priva e subscriptions to make out a reason able salary, and if a child is unable io pay the tuition, he eau get no benefit from tho school fund. .' Wo took occasion some time ugo, to e:<ll the attention of tho school trustees for this district to ibo fact, ?hat the town of Laurens has no free-school. The money given lo this district is apportioned out to all thc schools, mid so long ps it lasts, those who can pay the tui tlon get a rebate to the amount of his proportionate shnrcoftllC fund. There ure children in this as in other coin in Uli I ties wno cannot pay oven a small fee, and the conse quence is they cannot goto school nt all. If this private subscript ion would not shut out those who aro unable to pay, the scheme might work well, but wo do not stu1 how that cnn bo done. Who is it that will say to one "pay" and to an other "no pay." A REMEDY HUGGESTED. It is tobo hoped that a time will come when thoso who administer the criminal law In South Carolina will be made to realize that when ever they compound a felony by turning criminals loose v ho arc nble to pay tho costs anti the pros editor a fee, that they must stiffer a penalty. Our laws are sufficient to punish erime but the failure is m.tho execution. It is not going too far to say that for every three fardons who are arrested, and evi dence is at hand sufficient to con vict, two of that number art? never made lo feel the penally which (he law prescribes. Trial Justices, es pecJHlfy. seem to forget ll nt they have no power lo withdraw proso entions, but will frequently liberate the person charged, if the prosecu tor is satislied with the price bo hus received. It is hoped that a lime will come I when no Billi ty man will escape, anil it is also earnestly to be (losir ed.that sonu? provision will be made by which tl?e labor ^of those petit o tl ende rs can be utilized on the public highways, instead of being a burdon upon thc honest tax-pay ers. Let the Trial Justice system lu- abolished and havooue court in each county to investigate these trivial charges, and let the sentence of this court extend to one years la bor on tho public works ol' the county. I By this means crime will be decreased and at the same time our roads can be kept in good con dition. Wo aro well aware that prior to 18(18, judges in Sou til Carolina were elected tor life. W e consider the change however, for ?be better, al beit made by a radical convention. < >ur esteemed neighbor, the ?New berry Observer says, ..Put a judge on the bench for life "or good behavior, and there will "be no looking forward to a rc-elec "ti'on by bini and he will therefore "feel independent of lawyers and "everybody else. To bold to this doctrine is to nd? mit that popular election is a fail ure. If the people ure not com petent to elect officers-if aspl lantsdo not expect otb cc on merit, then, this is true. Hut we believe that in Ibis state a judge who does bis duty w ill be re-elected, anil wc see no hann to result from making bim know that the pCQplo are watching, and if he fails to ilo bis ivholo duty, be will not be r: -elec ted. The judgeship Is a high posi tion, vet not higher than tho peo plc. _ COTTON sra. A Great, Growing and iM ifltablo Industry For nearly a century the South ern fanners destroyed their cotton seed. One of the farm problems was how to get rid of it. A few years ago somebody discovered thal cotton seed was the one per fect fertilizer for tin* cotton lands; that the seed held the essential el ements that the cotton seed took from the soil. Then everybody was ashamed of having destroyed thc seed for so many ?generalions. Slowly but surely every ton was lltlli'/ed as a fertilizer. Later some body discovered that it was an ex cellent food for ."-tock. Then the the farmers begun feeding with it. Along in 1870 an objection was found to cotton seed as a fertilizer anil st~ck food. ll was too rich. The excess of (di in tho seed pre vented decomposition in the soil, and made tho wool too kinky. At the sumo time somebody discover ed that the objectionable oil would sell well in the market,so the (irs! cotton seed (di mill was established. The industry was Immensely prof itable,and in less than li ve years 150 oil mills sprang up in the South. A ton of cotton seed yields forty gallons of oil, worth in its crude stats +10. The hulls of the seed arc used as' iel to run the furnace, and tho ashes thercol sohl for potash, and cotton scad meal stripped of its oil is more valuable to tho far mer as a fertilizer and stock food than it was when it held thc oil. Phis season 500,000 tons of cotton seed have gone through the mills, from which $0,000,000 worth of eri.de oil have been taken. The meal cake returned to tho soil luis lost nothing, whilo Ibo South bas gained $0.000,000, 'jhe crude oil however is reli ied which quadru ples ile value. It is sold mostly for export, and returns to America as olive oil. The mills poy the far mer about -fl'* a ton for cotton seed, three tons of which will make one ton of cotton men!, which they sell back to the fanner for $18 for fer tilizing or food purp(? iv. Now see the progress. Twenty years ago cotton ?seed was burned or destroyed on Southern forms. Then it began to be used as a fertil izer or stock food. Last year $">, 000,000 worth of crude oil was taken out of ")(in,tMio tons of seed without injuring its value for other purpos es, which oil was refined up to a value of perhaps $20,000,000. This enormous industry, which as yet treats bul 000,000 tons out of 3,000,000 tons of thc full crop of cot ton seed, has lately attracted the attention of Northern capitalists, it ;H said, especially the Standard Oil company, and a remarkable com pany lias been formed. Last seas son produced acid seed, very unfa vorable for oil purposes. Tho mills, which have been making Immense profits, lost money, Several of them applied to New York for mon ey. Others were offered for sale. Tho American Cotton Oil Trust w as organized. A score of mills were pooled, and agents of tho com? I any went to buying up until oui of the 150 oil mills in tho country tho company owns about 120. These mills represent a cash value of .$d, 000,0(10. The stock of the company ls$88,000,000. It is listed in tho New York Stock Exchange, and is now selling at about 60, SO that the $8,000,000 worth of mill property now bas a selling value of $21,000,. 000.-Ux, "A shrewed observer luis learned that old maids love to kiss and fondle cats because they have whiskers.

Ho was off in one corner reading Bishop Mer ril'* tract ou "I Ugh License" 1>O ing a I Hilo near-sighted in his ears, ho failed to hear correctly what tho next applicant for license Kidd, but he thought he heard the follow ing: "Mr Commissioner, I want a li cense to got drunk. I want to got drunk for a year, and ina ko myself dangerous to all. 1 want to pay for all tho calmo I shall commit, and 1 want to pay for it in advance What' I tho ? > i 11 ?" "One hundred dollars," was the reply. Tho man took the lieens and de parted. Tl C good deacon M US par alyzed with horror. Coming to the desk ho said : "ls lt really possible that you let a man commit a crime by paying Iiis fine in advance! What a.stale of moral wo have reached! 1} seems to me tho avenging band of justice must be near, .shame! ever lasting shame and contempt on such laws!" "You don't understand," said the clerk. "The man does not w ant a license to do wrong; he simply wants a license to make other peo ple commit crime. Ile himself is a very moral man. This money 1 just received ls needed to pay dam ages arising from-" .'From what?" shrieked the dea con. "From tho liquor tra flic," said the (derk, "in laid, out of every seven teen dollars damages from liquor, we make the dealers pay one by the way of a tax-some call it li eens??." "And the people?" said tho dea con, uPav the sixteen dollars," was tho calm reply. Tho deacon put the (raid in the stove, and started (town stairs, a converted man. Lot Her Room.
