The Farmers Institute hitherto ad-1 vertised was held in this city by Presi dent Cralghead and Professors of Clemson College on Friday last.? Hon. A. 0. Fuller presided and Mr. O. P. Goodwin acted as Secretary. While the Institute was not largo, not so large as it should have been, there were pro bably sovonty five representative farm ers present and a number of tho citi zens of the city attended, largely to their profit and interest. President Cralghead lead in tho interesting work of the day, explaining the intent and scopo of the work. He explained that the great universities of Europe were interested in spreading the cause of education, that knowledge was being brought closely home to the people, and art and science was being largoly made familiar for practical life. Ho then discussed tho Clemson Collego and the work It was doing and what was oxpected of It as affecting particularly tho agricultural and in dustrial classos in this State. The Stato's appropriations with tho Fed eral appropriations might sound ox travagant to us, but compared to tho resources of Northern schools and col legos and thoso of such States as Missouri and Michigan in the Wost, woro but moager and Inadequate To make tho College of advantago to those of modorate means, othor than tho very rich, tho resources of the College must bo ample and gonorous. Professor Wyman, then delivered an interesting lecturo upon tho horse, which all enjoyed, as every man pricked up his oars at tho mention of this noblo friend of man. Professor Hard in had for his theme tho live sub ject of water, drinking water, wells, springs, artesian wolls, rivers and lakes, and groatly Interested tho In stitute. Ho was followed by Professor McGoo whoso theme was tho grasses and hay lands, moro especially the grasses adapted to our soil andclimato. Tho programme was exhausted with a very interesting lecturo by Profes sor Hart upon tho Dairy, but specifi cally upon silago as practiced at Clem son in the dairy department and else where where the silo had gained a footing. The day was much enjoyed and at tho conclusion of tho exorcises tho following resolution was intro duced by Mr. O. P. Goodwin: "Re solved that tho thanks of tho Farmers Institute this day held in this city aro hereby tendered to Professors Cralg head, Wyman, McGec", Hart, and Har dln for their able and instructive ad dresses and that wo will gladly wel come them again at an early day upon a similiar mission." Tho resolution was seconded by Messrs. 13. W. Ball, Col. J. D. M. Shaw and Dr. A. C. Ful ler. President Craighead responded In suitable terms expressing his pleas ure nt tho opportunity of coming to Laurons and thus a pleasant and in structive day was closed for tho farm ers of Laurons.

Editor Advkrtiskh: This communication luv? been ready for the public prints for some timo, but I have withheld it until tho interest and excitement that usually attends an election had subsided. There are certain conditions that confronts the peo ple of South Carolina as agricul turists, and I havo for sometime past advocatod organization as the best and speediest way to meet thoso conditions. Lpt us examine the conditions, and see if the neces sity exist for such action on the parfof tho people. Tho first of these is the hind?the proper care and preservation of tho cultivated lands of this State, and especially the Piedmont section where the land is subjected to such heavy drainage. I have traveled over six or sovon counties in the Piedmont section within tho last year or two, and from a careful survey- I find that there is vory little of the timbered land that enn be cleared, and a groat deal of the cleared laud has been turned out as worth joss, and beyond redemption. So there is nothing left for us to do but to take proper euro of that which is in cultivation. No sane man will deny, but that the top soil of all land is the producing soil, and I find that the surface of the earlier cleared lands has been reduced below the original, so it follows, that to raise land to a high state of cultivation where sub jected to drainages, it must be held together. In the counties above mentioned, Laurcns lias made as much progress along this line as any of the others, but it is eon lined to individuals and very small sec tions. In an organization of this kind, care must be taken to give it proper shape and direction. To ibis end, I have advised that or ganizations be established in suita ble localities or in each school dis trict and bring the agricultural masses together and thoroughly discuss the condition and then ad vocate a rigid application of the remedy. Wo have the terrace, the ditch and the lenace-ditch. The use of each can best be determined by the inclination of the land. There are other questions that can be profitably discussed but they have their places in the future. Believing that the secret of success on tho farm lies in tho productive ness of the soil, I cannot but look on this land question as overshadow ing them all. As 1 have not been accustomed to writing lor t he pub lic prints, I desist, for the present. A. C. Anderson, Waterloo, S. 0., Sept . 1(5, 1800. It Is amusing to see how ' 'pi acti cal polities" influences the minds of some able editors. A number of papers in commenting on Edi tor W. W. Ball's trip to Indian apolis Democratic eon vent ion seem to imply that ho was foolish t<> go because by no possibility i:? there anything '-in iL" for him. In olhor words, according to these critics a man should adjust his principles to his best pecuniary advantage. He is considered Quixotic and flying in tho face of Providence if he holds opinions differing from those of a majority of his nelgnbors. Take tho silver question, it is death politically, for a candidate in tho South to announce himself as being in favor of the gold standnved and this fact has caused many a good man to laud on tho silver wave and slide along with it rather lhan risk defeat by the tenets of a lifetime. And yet we doubt not a day Is com ing when to say "free silver" to a man will cause him to blush for identifying himself with the crazo, While wo did not appiove of the Indianapolis convention wo admire Bro.
