THUS AOlllOUIiTUKAIi COLMfiOR. Tiiere eau bo HO doubt that a first class agricultural college would bo Of incalculable benefit to this state. Lawyers, doctors, merchants, me chanic*, find that in orderte gain thc greatest proficiency, careful training and study is essential, and wo believe tho same is true with farmers. While we trust that the two experimental stations which that august body, the legislature of Knuth Carolina which assembled In 18S?>, has ordered tobe establish ed, NV i 11 accomplish something, wc believe they will prove signal fail ures. Farmors know a great deal more than they practice. It is not experiments by a sot of men, hut the training of young mon in ex perimental farming, thc science of agriculture, agricultural chemistry and tho like that will elevate far ming ns a profession to its true dig nity and make it profitable. Tho right kind of ar. agricultural college will do tlii-*. But tho question nris es, "Is tho state In a condition just nt this time to embark in such an enterprise? That it will cost mon ey cannot he doubted, but we think it equally as certain that it is mon ey well invested. Weare in favor of an exclusive agricultural college, if the peoplo are willing to hear the expense, but we are opposed to this college if it i.s proposed to up root the South Carolina College to get it. This college offers a liber al education to all who are seeking it, and ls designed to preparo men for nil avocations ; and a sense of JuBtice demands that if the State can give but one, that which is adaptod to tho needs of o very young man, irrespective of tho pro fession he has chosen, is preferable to a school that teaches only agri culture or that prepares him for any other one avocation. THE LOCATION OF THE STATION. Whatever may he our individual ideas concerning the practical ben cfl's to result from the establish ment of tho agricultural experi mental stations, it is certain that much depends upon the location Of the station, Its management, and most of all the interest which far mers manifest in the enterprise It is highly important that the far mers should fool an interest in tho work of the station, watch tho re sults, and moko application of them on their farms. Ii tho legislature had carefully canvassed thc Piedmont section of the State and located the station at thc most central point, the richest, most progressive and intelligent ; if they had sought the heart of that fertile district in upper Carolina, adapted r to the greatest variety of agricultural products, then Laurens County would most undoubtedly have Leen selected. But this the l?gislature did not do. It is lett to tho choice of the people, and pince Laurens has mn ni lest ed no inter est .windover in tho matter, this fa vored spot will bo overlooked en tirely. Xext to Laurens, we. believe that ( ? reen vi I le county presents the best claim. The citizens of Green ville ure public spirited and pro gressive; they pull together and al low nothing to full. In this matter they seem especially enthusiastic and aro willing to aid this State en terprise by liberal cont ibu tions. Laurens Cou il ty bas always had tho wannest feeling for Greenville and desires to see this agricultural sta tion located within her borders. Some weeks ago a man by th name of HooVKR was hovering around tho towna of Spartanburg and Greenville, organizing tho col ored population into secret labor societies. Ho went to Walhalla, and tho salubrious atmosph?re of that mountain city seems' to have inspired him with greater energy. He readily organized Iiis societies, the colored people flocked to him and after gathering in the shccklcs, hohegr.tn to tell them they were tool.-., und the most abject slaves on earth. Ho urged them to strike for higher wages, to fight for social rights and reminded Iiis fol lowers thnty'matchcs were cheap." This was too nundi for the honest law-abiding mountaineers, ?0 they used the mild remedy of arresting Hoovr'K for vagrancy und purpose ly allowed bim to escape. Tims tlie nuisance was abated in that pince. But HOOVER, nothing daunted, fled into Georgi? where ho continued his lubm*, but ho iou nd the Georgians rather much for him. At ono placo ho was requested to|abi>ndon his van dalio career, but ho persisted and a body of men undisguised, treated tho tra nip to a load of bl?d shot. HOOVER is a bad man, n danger ous man. Our country cnn ill or ford to allow tramps of any kind to roam the streets with no visible means of a livelihood, but when (hey attempt to incite negroes to riot and erime, thus endangering their lives und tho ponce ufsoeioty, such tramps must bo looked after by thc authorities or else they always meet tho futo of lloovr.n. Just think of it ! CotTeo thitt sold six months ugo for 0$ cents per pound,now brings 20 ou the mar kot. This is not nil, for the outlook points to a farther rise of nt least .\ cents. The crop was almost a fail ure last year and this year thc rain has injured the plants to such an extent that less than haifa crop will bo made. So the .Southern cotton growers have not a "corner" on the difuist- ( er? incident to farming. The Charleston Cotton Kxchango lins become very patriotic sudden ly. It comes toward with a resolu tion declaring that the way to test the fourth section, is to enforce it. Inasmuch as Charleston is in a measure ind?pendant of railroads, being a seaport, it is not surprising that fdic should ask that which would givo her this manifest ad vantage over other ?daces. If the News and Courier and the Courier Journal express the senti ment of the "Solid South" on free trade, is it not a little strange that any southern town .should wander so far from the fold as to banquet "Pig Iron Kelley." Anent, tho passage of a law by Congress, to regulate Inter-stato commerco, Jay Could announces bis intention to build fiOOO miles of railroad in the South this year. Our Sunny Southland. In the South fire ?K needed but two months in the vear; In the North eight months. In the South n man can work ten hours a day for niuo months in the year without artificial light: in the North less than six months. In the South a man bas fruit and vegetables ten months in the year; in the North six months. In the South ?a man wears light clothing seven or eight months in the year; in the North four months. In the South the cost of living is about AH por cent, of the average w ages ; in the North it i; 72 per cent., according to tho cen sus of 1880. In the South there; bas been no strikes of any import ance, (with the single exception of Augusta, Ca.,) in the last three years; in the North, how many? And yet people say they cannot un derstand why there ls such a "boom" in the South rind Why the ?migration hither is 400 per cent, larger than in 1880,-Dixie. Sound on Agricultural Education The last we beard from Laurens county the people there were sign ing potitions to have the agricultu ral experimental station placed at Spartanburg. Now, however, sev eral correspondents of Laurens newspapers are declaring that ex perimental stations a e humbugs and U8ele8S. They : ay the only pos sible way of learning farming is personal experience on the farm. This is assuming that farming is tho one business in which nothing new bas been or can bo learned and in which no Improvement luis boen or can bc made. Men have been studying and practicing law, medicine, theology, merchandising and mechanical trades many hundreds of years. Vet there are Schools and experi mental .?dations for all of them which everybody agrees are neces sary. The Laurens correspondents tell us there is nothing more to be learned of agriculture, that tradi tions ami time honored methods are the only safe guides in that bus iness: that the farmer is the one happy being who does not need schooling in bis trade nor teaching other than that which be digs out for himself or learns from bis fath er. Those Ideas arc blighting the South now worse than drought, Hood or caterpillar and costing ber more than tariff, internal revenue, State, county lind railroad taxes combined, if our farmers would understand the dignity, the impor tance and the possibilities of their trade, and that in the management of soil discoveries and Improve ments are as important as in any business, we would huvo a new boorning South suro enough. Greenville News, OUR WASHINGTON LKTTKR. (liv Our Regular Correspondent.) washington May 80th, 1887. The interstate Commerce Com mission bas returned home from its wanderings. and hus deci ded it can best attend to its du ties hy remaining in Wash ington after this. The Commis sioners have much work before them yet before they Can give a fi nal decision as to the famous "long and short bani" clause. The Queen and Crescent and the Illinois Cen tral railroads bavo not yet presen ted theil cases, anil their testimo ny will be taken there. Other roads bave asked permission to submit written statements, giving the facts more in de'nil Hutu they could in their testimony before tIto Commission. These documents will tnko time for consideration. The testimony the Commission took on its trip has not yet been written out, und when lt ls it will have to be gone over carefully, 80 tbnt you see thero ia considerable work to be dono bofore a decision can ho reached. ? Tho now rules adopted hy the Civil Service Commission ami ap proved l>y the President have been the sole topic of dicusslon among Department clerks for the past fortnight. The agitation among the old employes is almost painful to se?'. Those peopleare very pan icky nowadays at host, and any thing looking to a more rigid weed ing out of Republicans frightens them, ns well it may. Most <>f them would be in a deplorable con dition if removed from their Offic ial positions. Nothing is calculated to cause greater consternation In Washing ton than tho contingency of dismis sal, based on the application of new and strange conditions, when ever a vacancy occurs all the clerks of tho Department in thc class be low it must become candidates for promotion and face tlie competitive examination. They have no dis cretion In the matter, for the order ts mandatory. Thus, not only does tho clerk best titted for the promo tion get the vacant place, but the status of all the rest is ascertained. Persons who ged an average 7.r> per cent in the markings of the exam iners, ns you remember, arc secur ed in their positions and are de clared eligible for promotion. All who fud to obtain that average are re-examined in six mouths, and, if they again fail, they become eligi ble to reduction or dismissal. So of course the terrible chances involved in tlie ne v rules cause great excitement among Govern ment employes. Four-fifths of all of them in Washington were ap pointed for supposed party service, under the ltcphlicon administra tions, and while many of them are incompetent, they have held their places because it was difficult to get rid of them. lt is to be hoped these rules Will enable Hie beads of bureaus to east off some barnacles and ttl promoto deserving subordi nates; at? any rate they will be sure to compel a tlegree of studious application hitherto unknown in Washington. PROHIBITION. nv c. h. PIKE. Take Sities. I have in my possession a circu lar of a brewer's association, a cir cular sent to all candidates for office. It luis been sent,or will be sent, in a form to bc filled up, say ing whether the candidates is a fiiend of the liquor traffic or its foe, and if he is an enemy of tho busi ness, then the man is doomed, or, if he declines to lilli up the circular, and sends it back, bis silence is tak en as a negative answer, lt seems to mo it is about time for the sev enteen million professors of relig ion in America to take sides on this question, which will yet be thrust before every Christian man so plainly ho can not eject or reject it. It is going to he an out and out battle between drunkedness and sobriety; between heaven and hell; between (Jod and tho do vii. Take .?-ides before there i.i any further natural decadence. Take sides be fore your sons are sacrificed, anti the new home of our daughter goes down under tho alcoholism of an inebriated husband. Take sides w hile your voice, your pen, your prayer, your vote, may have any influence in arresting the despoli ation of this nation.-Ta Ima ff 6. We are at a loss to know what disposition tin? "Hum oligarchy" Will make of tho following experi ment with Prohibition. This infor mation conics from Alabama and speaks for itself: "Said a merchant yesterday: Do you know that prohibition ls chang ing tho character of business in tlie interior towns? Wherever prohi bition has boen adopted tho money formerly expended for whiskey is devoted to somsthingelso, and this has given rise to a larger general business, and in some instances new business. One country mer chant told Hie tim week that he sold 60 pairs of children's shoes when* ho formerly sold one. The father.- used to drink up the shoo money and tho children went bare foot. He said also that he sells quantities Of women's hats and bon nets, and never sold anything of the kind before prohibition was adopted. Tho husbands had no Uionoy, SO their wives made their own bonnets out of calico and splits; now there is no gallon jug under the bed, and women have decent headgear and oven ribbon. That is a solid fact and is a whole sermon if you choose to lengthen it out a bit." The New York Hast Conference of the M. K. Church has a Confer ence Prohibition League of fifty five ministers who vote as they pray. Dr Poole is Chairman and Hov. John Johns Vice-president. Why should not every Conference in the Church have a similinr ? If rich men mid women willjust stoj) adding hundred of thousand of dollars to the already too large en dowments of Yale and Harvard, ('(diegos and Triyity ('burch-en dowments too largo, because they are no longer needed, all thepo in stitutions having immense surplu ses-and endow with their money a school of peripatetic temperance teachcrs,{thus enabling thom to go into now fields and educate tho peo ple without asking for a dollar, and paying all their own expenses, more can be done in five years to life hu manity to its highest possible stage of development than those colleges and churches can do in fifty years. .They me n well enough, hut tho saloon opposite is doing all their good works.
