vVbother Wt have a preliminary
-canvass or not, ono issue at least,
for years to come, and until it is
.decided hy voters of the .State, will
meet them at every primary elec
tion. That issue is the question of
o separate and distinct agricultural
.ollege. Last week we gave a three
column nrtlele from Captain Till
man, in favor of this separate col
lege, with ut vom mont. This, like
M H other questions which involve
: ? expenditure of the people's
money, should be calmly and intel
i;.; Milly viewed by the people be
fore action is taken.
It appears to THE ADVERTISER
that the question involves no great
principle, hut is moro a matter ol
expediency. It is but Just and
proper to have a separ?te and dis
tinct Aerricultutal College If the
people of the .state are willing to
bear tho burden. It will, at a rea
sonable estimate, cost $800,000 to
build the college, and not less than
*;10,000 per annum afterwards. Is
f! college worth the price to those
A rio pay the tax ? This after all is
Hie question to be decided. Of all
he colleges in the United States,
ihat of Mississippi is sought out by
the friends of the measure as the
model. If all that ls auld of the
Mississippi College be true, it Is un
doubtedly a good institution. But
. e have scores of other separate
bf) 1 distinct Agricultural Colleges
?in this country wjthh are ss '.mr-!
-en of pifteUeM results as a college
which mnkoKtio pr?tention towards
an agricul'ural education. Why
do theae institutions not copy from

good as tho Mississippi College, or
what assurance have we thut when '

fruit?

absolutely worthless than other
wise.
While we say this, we do no* in
tho least undervalue tho Impor
j tance of a thorough training for
j farmers. It is well for them to
study agricultural chemistry to be
able to analyze thc soil and the
like; but wo havo in this State a
tax to support two colleges, ono of
which gives a thorough agricultural
education to nil who may dedra it.
Wo do not believe the peop'e of
South Carolina will sanction a
measure which will impose Still an
tax for still another college. Tho
part of wisdom is, if the State has
surplus fund? to invest in educa
tion, Improve the schools we have
Instead of building other Collegee*,
which the poorer classes cannot

X<> LIMPS IN THU DARK,
Th!* is "A government of tho people,
hr tho people, ami for tho people." Of
fieu-kotders ar? publie .ervants. Tbo.V
have no in her.'-nt right to the positions
they ncettpy. Their first duty is to their
constituents. They shmild bo held to a
strict n?:e, nntabiltt'y for tho discharge "f
. their olllcial obligations "pwlilic office
j ia a public trust."
t No public officer ie above ariticiam or
; snperior to censure. Hut while thia la
true, it la also equally and ?alnfnllv true
, that there are office-holders in South
Carolina and elsewhere who di> not rep
resent any well defined political Issue,
mid who arc in office simply hv rea*-..!
of tho loose-Jointed way iii which the
people have elected their roproernta
tivca. It is necessary that there ahall
be closer book-keeping In the future, or
the account of tho ?Mlee-holdera with
, thc People will never be balanced.
Wc arc pleasod tin t t ?-ere I* a growing
j demand in this State (or an "oi>eii and
I f.es discussion of political Issues"-for
j an exchange of confidence bet wi en the
' candidate* for office and the men who
I cast the ballots. Vexerai ol our con
temporaries hove adopted thc view en
tertained and frequently expressed by
tho AV Wi ni:-J Coulter in past political
campaign ., and doinand that candidates
ahall meot thc people and discus* tlie
' lending f*auc* of the ?lay bafore they
ahall bo nominated fur office. There
nine bo an end to back-door polltir*,
and th* lime luis come whon tho poopl*
must makw their own ni?tes. Irrespec
tive of tho wlshos and designs of per
Hunal caucuses.
The above, which we twke from
the Ne ir* and Courier of the 4th
inst., sounds well, lt is undoubt
edly correct as far ns lt goes, but
the Xcir* und Courier does not
touch ti|ion tho practical point.
How would you have this "free and
open discussion" to take place ? In
the newspapers, as ls suggested by
I one contemporary, or, in a cans n*?
Of the State by candidates for the
Democratic nomination before the
meeting of the convention? We
are in favor of this latter plan of
discussing issues.
It ls admitted on all aides that
the time for "back-door politics" is
past, and that personal caucuses
ought to gi?'e place to thc will of
the people, but the question is a.*
to the mode of effecting this.
When the next Democratic Con
vention assembles, and a proposi
tion ls made to postpone nomina
Hons until this discussion takes
place, wc doubt very much If some
of the lower counties will vote for
such a measure. Charleston, fer
instance, knows too well her pres
ent strength in Democratic Con
ventions, whwre the del?gate? are
composed of mci who are compar
atively Ignorant of the views and
sentiments of prospective candi
dates, to -unction a measure that
would weaken this power.
Wc trust, however, the Democ
racy of thc State may take a more
liberal view 0f this matter and

A curious caso of akin grafting ia
reported in the San Francis -o Ex*
aminer :
On the Sith of last May Peter Mc
Intyre, who po*se*Sv'd a local rep
' utatiou as a sprinter, was severely
burned in a fire at Central Park.
. The burns on his feet healed rapid
! ly *n?ugh, but the flesh on his
[ shoulder atul arms was ?o scorched
, thnt the ordinary process of nature
! was insufficient to restore lt to its
' former condition. It was deter
mined by the physician? to graft
skin taken from other people on the
. ex|K>sed surface, and thus hasten j
? tho cure. Six w?eks ago the ope
j ration was begun, and since then
j ovor 160 pieces of sain have been :
, fastened on raw parts. It will bo '
several weeks before the last Kraft
: shall have been attached and the
bandage removed. AU the skin ,
: was taken from the friends of Mc
j Intyre, who willingly contributed
the required portions of their cuti
cle. Each graft was a small clrcu

In diameter. It was taken from'
I the arm. Each subject rolled up
i his sleeves In McIntyre's room.
I and the surgeon rahed the akin
i with a fine pair of forceps. Thon,
I with circular scissors, he clipped
; the skin off, leaving a round rod
mark on the arm, and Inmediately ;
I placod the graft on McIntyre's
; wound. These grafts have been
I taken from about forty men. Usu
ally four were supplied by each, .
but som? of the sick man's friends
have more than that number ot
pink marks on their left arms.

j after the heating process ls over, as j

hue, and is also devoid of hair and
