THF. 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,.

ho failed to hear correctly what
tho next applicant for license Kidd,
but he thought he heard the follow

"Mr Commissioner, I want a li

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

seems to me tho avenging band of
justice must be near, .shame! ever

"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

"From tho liquor tra flic," said the

we make the dealers pay one by

"And the people?" said tho dea

tho calm reply.
