LAUHKNS, S. C., May ?J<?, 18*8. Til o Countj , l?olltlcnllj . Tints carly In tlio campaign it is : evident that county politics will mn high. Tho lines ure to be drown sharply, and wo predict thal voters will probe inure deeply than ever in to thc conscience of Iho candidate In order to lint! thc sincerity of his j views. We take it that thc Clemson col lege is a forgone conclusion, und I doubt if a candidate cati bc lound j who will oppose this measure. The canal is probably eliminated from the canvass, as is likewise the lien law The experimental agricultural sta tions will have friends ai.d opponents. Tho re-organized University will bo j brought in reviews Tlte disposition of convicts and; the svslcni of improving the highways are Interostiti i topics. Something may be said as lo local j legislation. Indeed Ho re is n Wido field, and j candidates titi i prospectivo <"v.i li',it cs MI iv as w i prepar? l'or a oatego- j ricalcanvass. It is to l>o inosl ear nestly hoped however !'*:.t abusive personalties and campaign lies will be niippresscd, In all heated campaigns j here is a temptation lo repeat rumors in regard to 'opposing cahill biles; sometimes enlarged and Improved for : thc purposes of the promulgator. Of late years these false reports have i been on the iiicrea c, and unless the honC?I men denounce the policy, if ' will come lo pass ih'.t pure men will hesitate to enter tho mire of politics. Who'lier to) 1 of friend or fu >, it is thc duty ol'all who hear ti.ese damaging reports, lo sc h the truth and If fourni j tn bo untrue, denounce them. I.et Hie. candidates beware of the friend who seeks voles by mi-.repteseiit.iii'..' the facts regarding his opponent. Whore i ri South Cn rid inn'.' We seo inueli in tho newspapers about the Now South, tho growing South and thc flattering outlook for our section generally But when it is known that in thc first nine months nf last year ?212,4 ">">,00ii were'invested in 2,51)fi new establishments in thc Southern Ktat,03, then it is thal we sc the magnitude of our growth, This investment represents among other things, 2fi iron furnaces, 80 machine shop-. [)8 dour mills, . cotton mills, dil mining enterprises, .'l- lumber mills otc, tho number of now enterpri ses ns shown by tho M nil ll fucl net's Record having gained 120 percent, ami tho amount, invested has increas ed 150 per cent, oven* tho preceding year. Now the question comes home io us. has South Carolina been lound in her proper pla'-.' in this grand lil lust r i : i inarch? Have wc scciirod our aliare of tho foreign capital that has como into tho South? l?as homo capital boon invested in such a manner as to induce money to como to us? lloro and there in South Carolina you will lind a spirit, of progross, and occasionally you find communities which aro rapidly building np. lint as u state w have liol yet made such a showing as our natur..! advantages ami surrounding would justify. We an; still poor, and our wntcrpowors and waste places call in vain for cap. ital to improve and develop them. Nothing tonis so much to turn ninney from a Stale ami repel pros pectors, as ti vacillating government. Mutability of laws and tho evident tendency towards local legislation is keeping our State in tho back ground. If ever a t Imo existed when Statesmanship was needed moro than that any other lime, it is now. Tho keen discriminating eye of tho bu d noss world is upon us ; nature has blessed us with all that nature can give, hut. narrow politicians have so disturbed the waters, that Il ls dilti. milt to decide what is thc law ol't ho land, lunch less thc policy of tho state on vital questions. Let the voters, who aro about, to choose, ii new legisla! ure soc to it that men of brains, culturo and honesty; mon who oatt legislate not for a town ship or County, but for thc common wealth of South Carolina aro elected. lt is noticed with pleasure thnt tho friomls of common school*,--those Who would strengthen thc weakest though mos!, important link in our ed ucational system, aro beginning losco that a largo slico is taken from thc school fund and given to o commis sioner, unnecessarily. It is cortain, will l c asked to nubmit a chungo in thc constitution on this subject. Men arc to he found yet in South Carolina, in every co*nuuuiity, who have thc pa triotism to act M trustees of public schools, and who sufficiently ap preciate thc advantages of education, to perform this duty satisfactorily ? without compensation. Thc matter of .-- curing tcachors, regulated tho sala re, and superintending tho work gen erally, is now performed hy tho trus tees and f? om t ho natur? of tho case they can best please themselves in such matters. Wc soc ia? necessity for paying $709. to a commissioner who only signs pay certificates. Organization of Furniers. The farmers of South Carolina are beginning lo see the importance of organizing for the purpose of proteo ting and improving their condition. They realize that if they would lind the underlying cause of agricultural depression, they must begin lo in yes- ; tigate the modes of cuitare as wei! as the financial policy winch controls them. This state lias live separate and distinct agricultural organiza tions ; thc State Agricultural Society, tiie Stat-- Farmers Association, thci South Carolina Agricultural Society,' tlie Grange and the Farmers' Al liance. Tl .c i- a sentiment among thc farmers of some counties of thc Stale ! that many of the ills which beset this ; vocation aro dtic lo inimical legisla tion, Under this impression, they have readily fallon in with Mr. I?, li. Tillman, the originator of thc Far mers Association From Hrst tn last, TIIK ADVuiuisKit has seen from tho work of this association only (lie ef fort to build np coi lain politicians, li wa ; ar,: for the good of formers, hut ; ho politicians. "I nm a Democrat,''is a goo l plat form in South Carolina, and wc oppose I any poli!?e d action outside the Dem ocratie organizations; If ?lie lawgi bear unjustly upon any man in South Catolin.'i, l"t him present his canst' to | that party which redeemed thc State, and redress will he given. While TlIK AOVKI?TISKU leis steadily Oppos ed polHical action by Mr. Tillman's ?dubs, it has nlwnvs urged fanners I . to take hold of politic' in tho rogu-i lar way-whhnul a new organization lo stand Itv tho democratic party and make their demands heard. Ii is Hie duty of every citizen to dis cuss political measures, lt is his du ly ns much lo inform himself on thc finestions MS lo vote. Thc farmers aro "thc bom- and sinew" not only i of the State hut tho democratic par ly, and whatever reforms .ire needed must bc accomplished hy-them inside tie* party organization. It is possible thal sonn- legislation e.mid be ClleClcd ill this State, which would help lit" ramiers; If so, they should see to it. that they uro passed, lind to this cud should hold political meetings as frequently as they desire, and discuss frequently, not as far mers bul citizens of South Carolina, sovereigns i l yon will. Hut, it is evident that there are ' oilier causes ol' depression in agri culture, than unwise legislation, and i for iii - correction of these, and lo I guard more sacredly the Interests of this class, the Farmers Alliance was lorine I. and is Vo-day Hist, absorbing all other organizations. Thc decla ration bf principles, which we pub lished sometime ago, ?9 ?nell ns com mends tho order to all right think ing men. Wo have watched the work nf the Alliance in several stal es and hoi ie vc it is thc best organi zation yet devised. Here is what Senator .hickson. President ol' the Georgia ."state Al liance says tis lo what it is doing ill ( Icorgia : I lo says tin- .Mlnim-o now his forty thousand mouthers in floorgia, which Shows II most remark aldo growl li when I? roiuonihered lt has only boon organ ized since .March.

"Our plans for the future," continued Senator Jackson, " will eclipse those of tho past.
