ELBERT H. AULL, WM. P. HOUSEAL, oprietors. NEWBERRY, S. C, THURSDAY, MAY 10, lSS. The Atlanta Constitution says: "The Mexicans wonder why we don't have bull-fighting as a national sport," and answers: "Why should we? The Senate is in session about six months in the year." It did look last week as if we needed no sport of the kind other than that of -ferd by the Senate. The Senate of the United States should be and usually is one of the most dignified bodies of its kind in the world, but that was prostitution of its dignity and power last week when two senators indulged in personalabuse and language not becoming gentlemen. It should not have been allowed. If the senators had no more respect for themselves they should have called one another nanies outside the senate chamber . It is alleged and it is denied that Blaine will be a candidate for the Re publican nomination for the Presi dency. We are inclined to think that Blaine wants the nomination if he can get it, and we rather believe that he will get it if he wants it. Well, Blaine will be about as easily defeated by Mr. Cleveland as any can didate the Republicans could put up. The friends of our efficient County chairman, Jas. K. P. Goggans, are talking of urging him as well fitted to creditably represent this district and fill the position of delegate to the Na tional Democratic Convention from the Third Congressional District. They would be highly gratified at his selec tion as one of the delegates from this district. We heartily endorse his selection as such delegate, and would be pleased to see him elected. Mr. Goggans is a young lawyer of fine practice, of pleas ing address, well educated and a good speaker, and he would make a worthy representative from this district. He has filled the position of ;county chair man for this county for several years very acceptably. PENSIONS. The pension board of the State so far has passed upon 1,085 applications for pensions. Spartanburg County heads the list with 133 applicants. Beaufort and Georgetown have only one each. Newberry has 26, a list of which is published elsewhere. There are a number of applications yet to be passed upon. The Legisla ture appropriated $50,000 to pay the pension claims. It will require about $65,000) to pay the pensions of those already approved. It is going to be a little bigger thing than our law-makers seem to have anticipated. KNIGHTS OF LABOR. The Knights of Labor organization is said to be growing weaker in this country every day. Two years ago the order numbered upwards5 of 700,000 in this country, and now the number is about 250,000. In fact we do not believe it has accomplished any good to the laboring menlof our country. It has cost them a vast deal of money, and in many cases, after orderingstrikes, failed to bring them to a successful ternmina-. tion. This thing of strikes is wrong any how. Labor and capital must regulate themselves, and sivuld not be arrayed against one another. The one is as essential as the other, and for a few men on either side to try to regulate it-why it won't work. THE PRIMARY GROWING. From the reports of the views of the various Township Clubs so far received, it wvould seem that Newberry is almost unanimous in favor of a primary election for nominating all officers, from Governor down, and the.re seems now little dloubt that the County Con tion on Saturday wvill favor such a plan. This is not only the case in Newvberry C'ounity, but we observe that several other County Convent ons that have elocted delegates to the Convention favor the State primary. It is coming. This demand for a primary plan of nominating officers is growing. The people realize that it is the only way by which they can exercise any choice in the matter under our peculiar condi tion and surroundings, and they want it. This much had best be yielded, too, for if the people are denied this privilege it will sooner or lat er make discord wvithin the ranks. The people rule in this country, and a slavish obedience to party will not last unless the people are given a voice in saying who shall be the leaders of that party. But in case the primary plan is denied this time the demand is general for two State Convent ions. A CONTRAST. We take the following paragraphs from an article of an esteemed cotenm poraly. the subject of the article being "a blue farmier." A correspondent had written the editor giving his reasons why there was such a disposition on the part of students leaving agricultu ral colleges to abandon farming and enter law, medicine or other profess ons. The correspondent said the far mners had to wear common clothes and eat hog and homiiny, while professional men and clerks wore fine clothes and lived on the fat of the land, and the farmer boys seeing this are naturally inclined to do likewise and did not take readily to farming. Clerks getting from fifty to one hundred dollars a month and frmer getting only from nine to ten dollars a month. Our co temporary then suggests that perhaps this farmer who is viewing life in this way would not find much comfort in reflecting that a man is placed here for something nobler and higher and more useful than wearing fine clothes and living luxuriously, but it was afact all the same, and we should look at it in that way. Here are the paragraphs referred to: "Is there no dark side to a profes sional or mercantile life? Many a man who is dressed like a dandy goes through life utterly miserable, running a thousand risks, selling his little soul, and humiliating himself in every pos sible way to find the means of keeping up his expensive and wretched exist ence. He would be a million times happier as the sovereign lord of a little farm, wearing coarse jeans and eating hog and hominy, honestly earned by his own labor. Ninety per cent. of the professional men and merchants either fail or worry along making a bare liv ing. Wealth and distinction fall to only a few. "But must a farmer necessarily re main in the depths of poverty'? As the French say, that depends. The far mer who is shiftless and extravagant, of course, will not prosper. If lie lacks judgment he will be a failure. If he locates himself beyond the reach of good markets he will find it hard to get along. Now when a man labors under these disabilities he will find it impos sil,le to succeed in a professsion or in bus iness, because judgment, industry and econony are absolutely essential in every line of work." The certainty and independence and freedom from anxiety, care and worry incident to farm life will compensate for all the gaudyism, and fine clothes and high living that the farmer boy imagines he is deprived of. To our nind the life of the farmer in this country is the one above all others to be desired. If lie will, he can be almost independent. Of course this will not apply to the farmer who buys everything lie lks use for in a foreign market, but the farmer who lives at home and has plenty of everything around him should and can be con tented and happy. We do not mean the wage earner, but every young man 'with energy and.a willingness to work can soon become the owner of a farm, though it be a small one, and that is just what this country is in need of-more smiall farmers who are industrious and willing to work. BI.AINE'S BUDDING BOOM. A Report that the Florence Letter Wilt be Repudiated. PHILADELPHIA, May 4.-The Times will publish to-morrow the following triple-headed special from New York which it will indorse as coming direct from an authoritative source: "NEw YoRK, May 4.-I have entirely reliable information that the friends of Blaine have within three days received direct from him his assent to an aggres sive movement for his renomination for President, and his assurance that, if nominated in the face of his Florence letter of declination, he would not feel at liberty to decline. "A general and systematic effort has been made by Blaine's closest friends, such as Chairman Jones, Win. Walter Phelps, Whitelaw Reid, Chas. Emory Smith and others for two months past to get Blaine into the attitude of a pas sive candidate. "The Washington conference was only a part of the method by which in fluence has been brought to bear upon Blaine and the publication of his por trait freshly taken from life in Italy and issued by "Judge" this week wats decid ed on more than a month ago as the starting point for an avowed effort to make Blaine a candidate. "Every possible pressure has been put upon ~Blaine to get from him a direct assurance that he will not decline if nominated, and that assurance has been received in this city from Blaine within the last three days." A BATCH OF DENIALS. PITTSBURG, May 5.--In an interview to-day Chairman Jones of the National Republican executive commiittee said, so far e's Mr. Blame's health was con cerned he was as well as he ordinarily is, barring a slight cold. "Some of the stories about him," said he, "are absurd. To group sonie of them into general denial,fI may say that Mr. Blaine has not decided to be a candidate. He has not asked his friends to make an ag gressive movenment in his behalf, he has not written any letters declining nomi nation a second time, and it is not true he will be on the ocean and out of reach of the telegraph when the Chicago convention is in session. MIr. Blaine said he desired to remain abroad two years, but feared he would not be able to do so. I would not be surprised to hear he was comning next month, or that he wvould stay awvay until next year. No time has as yet beeI. uixed for his return. There is no denying the fact that ever since the declination there has been a growing sentiment amnon g the Republicans that 3Mr. Blaine should accept the leadership of the party in the next great battle. This movement has great strength, and will be a powerful if not t.he most successful element in the next convention. I do not think that it is the intention of Mir. Blane to come out squarely for any candidate or to plumply ask his friends to support Johin Smnith or John Jones. He is only human and may of course say 'so arid so is my friend and I would like to see him nominated,' and such an xpressionl would have great weight." NEWS TO H11 SSON. PrmwToHR, May 5.-Emmions Blaine was in the city this miorningen rout3 to Chicago. In an interview with a Chronicle-Telegraph reporter he said that the Philadelphia Times story was news to him, but refused to say any thing further. He received a letter from his fathecr, dated Rome, a fewv (days igo. The letter stated that the wvriter was in the best of health and intended leaving for G3enoa in a short time and from there wvould go to Nice by coach. WHIAT wHIITELAWv REID SAYS. NEw YonIK, may .5.-"The comment in to-dhay's Tribune reflects my senti ments exactly." said Whitelawv Reid, editor, to a reporter of the 'World, as he appointed to the paragraph. It is said that thme story of the Philadelphia Times corresondent was like the recent stuff about 3Mr. Blaine's dreadful state of heath, chiedly bosh. Mir. Reid said: "I do not knowv that I need say any more. There is nothing in the sory." "D)o you know, Mr. Reid, wvhether Mr. Blaine has written to any of his friends in the city on the Presidential "Not to my knowledge; in fact, the only letters 'I have seen or heard of froin him since the Florence letter have absolutely refrained from any reference whatever to political questions."

Sampson Pope and J. A. Sligh Address the Club. The Farmers' County Club met in the Court House last Saturday and was called to order by Mr. R. T. C. Hunter. The calling of the roll was dispensed with. The attendance from the county was rather smalL The resolution off'ered by Mr. F. Moon at the last meeting and continued to this meeting was the first business before the club. The resolu tion is as follows : Resoleed, That the farmers of New berry County should select their own candidates for ottiee by a primary election, or otherwise, previous to the general election and the general pri niaries, for by it alone can t hey succeed in getting the best men. On motion of Mr. J. L. Keitt the res olution was indefinitely postponed. The president then called the atten tion of the club to the address issued by the executive committee of the State Farmers' Association. Mr. Moon thought the address should be read, and on motion of Mr. L. P. Miller the address was read by the secretary for the information of the club. Mr. J. L. Keitt then offered the fol lowing resolution Resolved, That this club approve the policy contained in the address issued by the executive committee of the Farmers State Association ; and this club respectfully requests all candidates for nomination to either branch of the General Assembly, to express through the newspapers published in Newberry County, their views upon the proposed establishment of a separate Agricul tural College, and upon the "annex" to the State L iiversity, and to state how, if elected, they would vote to establish and sustain a separate Agricultural Col lege. Mr. L. P. Miller said he felt some reluctance in expressing his views, as he had so recently moved to Newberry and become a member of the club, but he was opposed to having candidates pleuge themselves. What we wanted in the Legislature was good sensible men, practical men, to represent us. A man should not define absolutely what position he will take in the Legislature. An Agricultural College, nor the sup port of one is not necessary to make a good representative. He did not be lieve that an Agricultural College was the thing most needed by the farmers. We need men with habits of industry, habits of thought, and a school where a young man is taught these things. We all know enough to make good farmers if we would but do it. Mr. Moon thought the resolution sounded too mild. He said we wanted an Agricultural College, and we wanted it like they wanted a pistol in Texas, and if we are to have it, we must de mand it of our representatives. And we should not wait on Mr. Clemson's will, for when the lawyers got through with it, it would be torn all to pieces. We should show that we were comupe tent to think and act for ourselves. If there was anything that needed science and the deepest science, it was farming. We demiand very little, but we must demand the Agricultural College. Mr. Moon then offered the follow inIg resolution as a substitute for Mr. Keitt's, saying that he did niot p)repare it, but he was willing to farther it. Before Mr. Moon read his resolution Mr. L. P. Miller replied at length, de fining more fully his position in oppo sition to an Agricultural College. He saidI, as a rule, scientific men were niot successful as farmers. He favored the establishment of an experinmental sta tion in eachl Congressional District in the State as a centre. Mr. Miller seemed alone in his position, but he had the courage of his convict ions and made a strong presentationl of his side. Mr. Moon then read his resolutions as follows: Resolved 1. That we dlemand tile ac ceptance of the Clemson bequest by the State, and that tile Legislature make the approp)riationls necessary for estab lishing the Agricultural College. Resolved 2. That farmers shIould vote in tihe primiary for .no canididlate who will nlot fully pledge himself to vote and work for the establisument of an AgriculturalCollege amnd the applicationi of the national funds amid privilege tax to the muaintenanice of that inistitutioni. Mr. George Johinstone desired to know who p)rep)ared the resolutions. Mr. B. 0. Duncan thlen arose anld said he did, us containing the sentiments contained in tile 'address of the execu tive committee. Messrs. Pope amnd Sligh, the two canl didates for the Senate, then addressed the club, stating their positions and presentinig their respective claims for the positionl. After these speeches Mr. George Johnstonme addressed the clhub on the motion before it. He said he had not read the address issued by the exec utive commnittee carefully. Sonme por tions of it lie endorsed amid sonme lhe did not endorse. That portion of it which characterized the leadlers of tile D)emo cratic party as selfish, as groveling and unpatriotic, he did not endorse. He had never seen that baseness of niotive and shabbiness of conduct on the part of our Democratic leaders that the ad dress breaithes forth as attributing to them. The time had conie he thought when the conistitution of the State needed amnendlment. But the subject matter of the address and the main thing for us to deal with was whether or not we could be benefitted by the es tablish men t of an Agricultural College, and by scat tering our forces we lessenl our chances for success. If we are to succeed we umust keep our coluns solid for one purpose. The establishmien t of an Agricultural College mecans mo(re education. We need both morality anid intelligence combined. The churches to furnish the one and the schools the other. If we favor the enlighteinent of the human mind we can reach but oneC coinclusion for the Agricultural Cohiege question. He did not fully understand the curric ulum taught in an A gricultural College, but it wvas education and lie was in favor of it. He was ini favor of the Citadel. He is an advocate of the Southl Carolina University. As he advocated the Citadel separate and apart, so lie advocates the Agricultural College, sep. arate aind apart fronm the University. Mr. Johnstone said the chief pleas ure he enjoyed from the address was its freeness from opp)ositioni to the I 'tadel and South Carolina College. We should have the Agricultura College, he thought, regardes of 7. Clemson or his bequest. It wa unbe coing the independence of ai million freemen to let the building of an Agri cultural (Mollm depend upon a paltry hundred thousand dollars. He then offered the following resolutions as a substitute for both of the other sets of resolutions: Resolved 1. That this convention earnestly favor the establishment of an Agricultural College, in which the main features of instruction shall relate! to agriculture and shall vote and labor aet for its establishment. Resolced 2. That we request all can- : T didates in this County for Legislative positions to express their views on this subject through the pressof the County. Mr. Sligh said he was in favor of the i last resolution, and so did Mr. Keitt, s and it was adopted without further debate antd the ronveilti+ 1 adjoutrit-. il TURBULENT tEI'IRESENTATIVES. 1t Cries of "Senate!" "Senate!" Bring Two Bel- i ligerentM to Their Senses. tl I [Special to the Clironile.] o WASINGToN, May5:).-lt has come ~ to a pretty pass when the House can be shamed into good order by halloing "Senate, ''"Seiaie,'' at it. Yet that a was the case to-day when the parlia- " mentary lie was passed between Mr. ( Brumm, of Pennsylvania, and Mr. Bryce, of New York. Mr. Woodburn, of Nevada, in his tariff speech, had made a reflection on Mayor Hewitt. i Mr. Bryce, the mayor's brother-in-' iv, rot having heard distinctly the r .ee tions, asked Mr. Woodburn to repeat, which the latter declined to do. Then T Mr. Bryce said, from what lie had caught, Mr. Xoodburn had misrepre sented Mr. Hewitt, and placed hmii in a false light. '['lien Mr. Brunun, the most disagreeable Republican in the House, whose ignorance and insolence have lost him the resp>ect even of his fI own party, interrupted, saying that he t knew what Mr. 'Woodburn said was true; "and when you say this man (Woodburn) tells an untruth, you say whtfalse." Mr. Blryce-"I say i t's a misrepresentation." IT LA)OKEI) LACK. While this was going on Mr. Bruiin ti and Mr. Bryce had approached eacli other and were now standing within a few feet of each other in front of the N speaker's desk, with faces flushed and 1 hands gesticulating vigorously. Inl stantly, the few members present rush ed around them. Mr. Brunim, in a . high pitch in reply to Mr. Bryce-"I' say it is cowardly to assail a man this , way." Mr. Brunin, shaking his hand very near Mr. Bryce's face-"The gentlenan cannot destrov facts." Tim ('ampbell-"You are not in t he Senate now." . [Laughter.] Mr. Hopkins, of Illinois-"This is not the United States Senate." [Great laughter.] The dignity and self-respect of the House could not stand such flings as this. It even squelched Brunim. So C order was resumed and the debate continued. Overwhelmed by a Cloudburst. ] WICHITA. KANsAs, May 7.- A strange atmospheric phenomenon was seen at Maize, west of this city, yester day. A storm cloud burst and extend ed over a space, parallelogram in form, about 500 yards wide and one mile in lengt.. I<or half an hour the rain came down in torrents. The heavens 1 were black, and darkness almost eqlual to that of night covered the entire area. The people ran affrighted from their homes, nmany crying thazt the end of the world had come. Maize as situated on the south bank of the Arkansas River anld the streets' were turned into rivers, which fortu nately found outlets into the Arkansas. An eye-witness described the rain coming down in torrents, washing away a numb er of houses and moving others from their foundations. A house in. which a family namied Rockby lived was picked up by the floods and carried into the Arkansas River, where it stak, e, drowning Rockby, his wife and two children. A number of narrow escapes are reported. The water from the cloud seemed to comle straight down and could not have been thicker had it found its source from a lake in the air. The bodies of the Rockby family have not yet been recovered. Thle dlamlage will he very large. A great mxany cattle and horses were drowned. Women Lose the Fight. NEW YoRK, May3 7.-Wheni the die bate on the eligibility of women as lay delegates to the Methodist Episcopal r General Conference closed to-day ar vote was taken on the adoption of the] Rev. Davi.s H. Moore's substitute for< the report of the conuniittee. It pro posed that women elected as delegates ' to the present General Conference bei seated, and the qJuestionl of their eligi- I bility to future General Conferences be derEmined by a vote of churches and anllual Confierences. Th is substitute was lost. Then a vote was takeni on the amie'6! ment to the report offe.red by the Rev.1 Dr. Neely, of Philadelphia. This1 amendment excludes womlen from seats in the p)resent Conference, and submits the quest ion of eligibility to sit in fu ture General Conferences to the An- ~ nual Conferences. It was adopted by a vote of 249 yeas to 173 nays. Meeting of the fort Hill Trustees.
