We pablisb this week tbe call for
*n agricaltaral conTeotion to be held
bv farmer# eicla#ively, at Colom
bia, on Tbareday, tbe 29th of April
next. Tbie call baa been signed by
ninety-two fanner#, from tbe differ
ent parta of tbe State. But not one
irom Darlington coonty appear# on
tbe Hat, but among them we see
several of tbe moat prominent far
mer# of MarltxW. We do not prt
pose to disco## tbe wording and
sentiment# of the call at this time,
bnt desire to show that in Darling
ton county, the farmers have had
large representation in tbe legisla
tive and county officers, and that
those much Tillman berated nufor
tuuatea, tbe lawyers and non farm
eratfcave bad amall showing. Our
Senator, was a farmer and merchant,
aad is now a farmer and president
of a cotton factory. In 1880 1, In
18823, in 1884 5, we have had three
farmers as members of the Legisla
ture for each term. Our clerk of
court, sheriff, school commissioner,
and three conuty commissioners
are farmer#, our probate judge a
lawyer, our treasurer was a railroad
and telegraph 4gent, and our audi
tor is a fire insurance agent
In our system of agriculture, tbe
farmers, in selecting delegates to a
convention, such a# is called for April
ifill, we,think, have some difficulty
in deciding who are and who are
not farmers. There is the real far
mer, who living on bis farm, makes
. bis living out of the land. Then
there is the farmer who i# also a
merchant, keeping a store to sell to
bis hands and to others on a lien;
then there is the merchant who does
an extensive farming business as an
auxiliary. So also wo have the
farmer-lawyer, the lawyer-farmer
In fhet, so many of our people com
bine farming with other business,
tb<*t it would take a wise man to
•tell where tbe dividing line between
formers, and those engaged in otb-
«(r bnsineses, lies. We will look
with interest at tbe list of delegates
in April and see bow many simon-
pure farmers there are among them.

Editor Darlington Neva :
1 fear you are uot a prophet, for
I seeyoucontinue to hammer at the
“Bone-yard,* and from all yon ##y
it is still tbe common resort of all
colors, characters and pursuit# and
tbe great mart of the town for tbe
sale ami exchange of skeletons in the
shape of horses, males and oxen,
. yet, if you recollect when that prop
erty exchange*! owners, you came
' out with a joyful editorial proclaim
ing the glad tidings, far and near,
and predicted mighty results, say
ing, that efe long the buzz of tbe
8*w, sound of tt)e hammer, plane
and trowel will be heard and those
lots known by tbe classic name of
“Bone-yard,* will soon be built up.
.“Bo mote it be* I said, yet I know
that it requires money to put aud
keep auob things in motion. It
wpukd seem from all you said then
that by now, Pearl Street would be
jammed , with two or three-story
buildings for stores and dwellings,
and the rhar of the Baptist Church
With pottages, yards and gardens,
and the oak grove with livery #ta-
bles. But, alas, it seems to be about
as in tbe days of yore, except the
palling down of s tew old buildings
—disturbing the rats. I thought
then you were rather premature iu
year prediction# and quite inoon-
Biderate. There is such a tbiug a#
bleeding a man often if not deplet
ed-tod much at any one time, then
it’s necessary Ur- give him time to
rally and regain bis strength, and
perbapa “that’s whet’s the matter
with Hannah.* With the coutiu-
spelt expense* of Hv|ng, they may
.hot ligve fully convalesced from tbe
ftfSt venesection, therefore you
should forfdar, give time add be
patient. and. you may yet have a
racket in that direction.
, It would afford me a pleasure,
were it possible, to show you so
of tbe results of that sale. I have
four hundred acres of good laud—
200 under ienoe—a beautiful
two-story brick residence, with
a brick dining room and brick kitcb
en attached, finished neatly and of
the best material, outbuildings, a
large brick smoke house, well ven
tilated and fly-proof; barn, Stables
fpr ten horses, good gin house, car-
rUge fiooire, two large negro bouses,
fowl-bonse, wasb-hous?. storeroom-
dairy and a comfortable house far

this lot and stand# north and south,

except toward the north—100 acres

ways been very healthy.

stock bogs, plantation utensils, and
bought rations to make my crop,
all with that money and had a little
left. So much for tbe “Boneyard.”
Yon can pop away at it as you
please, bat I shall always think of
it with pleasure, and shall ever be
thankful to the gentlemen who
bought it, as it gives me a pleasant
hpnre and bread in old age. It was
a gift from my kind father, which
still nhelter# me and his great-grand
children.
Mr. Editor, I see with regret that
Timmonsville grants license after
being dry so long. Is it not strange
that intelligent men advanced in
ysars should advocate anything so
wrong, when their inflnente should
be for good when they are so near
their graves T It is said tbe license
will tomefitthe business of the town.
How absurd f It helps grog-shops,
officers, lawyers and tile devil, but
no others, and it will make drunk
ards of tbe yonug, kill off the old,
Cause the loss of seals and give min
isters harder work, as whiskey aids
the devil very much. I am ont of
it, yet I have a kind regard for tbe
place and people, and am sorry
snch a calamity has happened to
that community.
What has become of your corres
pondent at Timmonsvillef He did
not report in the last papet as be
promised, and I am interested iu
that quarter. J. M. H.
< To my Friends and the Public.
You all well know that my hab
its have been stumbling blocks on
tbe road to success, and the too free
indulgence iu intoxicating drinks
have robbed me of the position I
should this day occupy. 1 have now
determined to forswear the cup that
inebriates, and take this method of
begging my friends to assist me iu
my resolution. As I cannot take
one drink without craving a second,
a third and innumerable others—
ending in intoxication—I earnestly
ask all of those interested in my
welifare, and that of my wife and
children, never to ask me to take a
drink. The determination never to
toacb liquor in any shape, of my
^R /ree will shall, with God’s help,
ntver lie shaken. Tbe public gen
erally know my ability as a business
man, and 1 would be thankful for
employiEect of any kind that is hon
est and honorable.
Respectfully,

Call For An Agricultural Convention
at Columbia.
To the Fanners of South Carolina:
Seveuty-six per ceut. ot our State’s
population are actively engaged iu
agricultural pursuits. At least one-
half ot the remaiuder are directly
dependent upon the farmers for the
means of a livelihood. We may
justly claim, then, that wecousti
tute the State, yet we do not govern
K, nor are tbe laws administered iu
our interests, and few are passed
for our benefit
We pay taxe* and vote and there
is no further us« for us. These
taxes do not grow any less, while
our ability to pay them grow# small
er year by year, and nothing worth
naming has b* eu done to foster and
encourage that interest which feeds
and sustains all others. The ne
grees used to be tbe “mudsills* of
our economic fabric; but thousands
ofjwhite meu—land owning farmers
—find themselves slowly but surely
sinking beneath the waves to be
adcled to tbe foundation upon which
a^fow men and corporations are
erecting their fortunes. Impend
iug bankruptcy s'ares thousands in
the face, while other thousands are
oversqaiug their own plantations
for their victuals and clothes.
An insane system of farming
largeR prevails and oar lauds are
growing poorer year by year. Large
areas ot Sooth Carolina are being
made a desert to feed negroes, while
tbe laud owners, giving no thought
to tbe future of themselves and
a fidren, stand idly by, c r assist
Q direct this skimming of a State,
which, by reason of soil, climate
and geographical position, might
be made a veritable Garden of
Eden. Tbe negroes will “go West”
when the bones are picked. What
will we do! We are “farming to
wards despair* iu thus continuing
to impoverish our lands by ignor-
ant culture, but nothing is done by
our Legislature, or Its creatures,
to stop it, or to try to teach the
people a better and wiser system
Forty thousand dollars are spent
annually iu the State, three-fourths
of it paid by formers, to educate
meu tor other professions and
pursuits; tbe farmers get nothing,
and are lett to gtope their way to
ward# the grave iu iguorauce aud
its consequent poverty. Even the
K ittaoce donated to educate farmers
,\r the United States Government
is taken from us and appropriated
to sustain the institution at wbieb
our future masters are beiug train
ed. How tbankfal we should be to
tbe good Lord for such generosity
aud wisdom amoug our statesmen,
so-oalledt
Again, we pay 125,000 annually
by s|iecific tax, which come- out of
tbe farmer alone, to MiMtaiu a de
partment of agriculture. A good
slice of this is spent to collect tbe
phosphate royalty, which goes to
support the State Governmeut, aud
the rest is frittered and wasted,
so far as we can see, the only bene
fit received by the farmers beiug a
partial protection against fraudu
lent fertilizers.
A majority ot tbe board of agri
culture are uot engaged in fanning.
Who wonders, then, that so little
has been done by it to benefit our
farming interests f
Four bad crops out of five and
the consequent poverty of the farm
era cry aloud tor economy and re
duction of taxes. But this cry,
which came from every county, was
ignored by the last Legislature,
which also (lersisteutly refused to
obey a plain maudtteof tbe Con
stitution to provide for a reappor-
tionraeut of representatives by
holding a census. It is small won
der, then, that nothing was done
to protect farmers against robbery
by dishonest fertilizer manufac
turers
Tbe Legislature which recently
adjourned, though not corrupt, has
been very negligent of tbe public
welfare. Tbe thoughtful and iu
telligeut farmers of the State oau-
not afford to elect another such
body of law-makers aud Coustitu
tiou breakers. Nor oau they afford
to allow tbe agricultural interests
of tbe State to be subordinated to
everything else, aud no effort made
tc foster aud protect them Other
States with less expenditure than
we are making, are doing ten times
as much to encourage aud assist
those engaged iu farming. But tbe
mouey spent is not entrusted t
politicians or to those elected bv
politicians. Tbe farmer# manage
aud control it themselves
Believing, therefore, that tbe
crisi# demands prompt aud united
action on the part of the true and
loyal farmers ol the State, and tnat
a convention ot such can only re
dound to the benefit ot agriculture
and consequently of every other in
terest aud calling, we call such a
convention to meet in the city of
Columbia, Thursday, the 29th of
next April, to take into cousidera-
ticn the questiou touched upon in
this address, together with such
other matters as they may deem of
importance to the political, social,
educational or industrial interests
of the farmers and ot tbe State.
Eacli county agricultural society
is requested to send five delegates.
Each local or township agricul
tural club is requested to send one
delegate.
The farmers of each county are
requested to send five delegates
over and above those from organiz
ed societies, and to effect tins it is
suggested that those in avinpathy
with the movement call a mass
meeting or county convention of
farmers in their respective counties
to appoint said delegates.
if the wisest aud best- of our
farmers thus assem b e we lee and
believe there is enough of both
patriotism aud statesmanship among
us to fii d remedies for those evils
and, without trenching upon the
right# of others, manhood enough
to demand ami obtain a proper re
cognition of our rights nd needs.
While this is essentially a farm
ers’ movement we invite the sym
pathy and moral support of goo*
men of every calling. Agriculture
is tbe basts of* ur economic stiuc
tore and supports the rest- It can
not rise without carrying with it
tbe superstructure.
There is among the politicians in
South Caroliua an up-country am
low country. There is no such line
of division amoug the farmers. Our
interests are one. Let ns come to
gether from the mountains to the
sea, and, exercising the God-given
right that the majority shouU
govern, organize as farmers an*
obliterate this line forever.

of this has been contributed.

An Appeal.
January 1886
My Dear Brother :
I am trying to raise money to en
able my co laborer. Rev. H. C. Du
Bose, of Soocbow, China, to build a
healthful house for himself and fain
ily. 1 ask your aid for tbe follow
iug reasons:
1. Mr. DuBose is a Sooth Caro
liniau, sou of a Presbyterian minis
ter who lived and died in this State
2. He has been, since 1872, when*
he went to China, faithful, earueat
aud uutiriug iu his missionary
work. In July and Aug oat, 1885
he preached 180 times. In one
year he preached 700 timea. Be
sides preaching, he sells Christian
books and tracts. He sold a in year
ll,0o0 copies He is doing the
work of two men.
3. A very desirable lot, in tbe
centre of Soocbow, conveniently
situated for mission work, secured
to tbe “Church of Jeeus* (uot to
Mr DuBose) by full, dear titles,
bus been obtained.
4. He and hie family occupy a
low, oioee, damp, native bouse, un
healthy aud uncomfortable to live
in, and inconveniently situated as
to bis work.
5. His wife deserves a good home.
Some years ago there was a riot iu
Soocbow. Tbe mob entered Mr.
Du Bose’s bouse add tore to pieces
everything ou tbe first flooi, aud
then went upstairs. They met
Mrs. DuBose, who stood before ber
chamber door. She was alone.
Calmly she faced them, and talked
to them in Chinese, which she
speaks with great ease. There
were no tears, no fury. It was
simply the heroic bearing of a u* ble
Southern woman. Aud so she kept
that bowling mob at bay until tbe
soldiers, called for by Mr. DuBose,
came and drove them out. Since
The Southern Methodist Senate.
Tbe General Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, gontb,
meets quadrennially, and, accord
ing to the Book ot Discipline of that
Church, in the “month of April or
May.* It meets this year, and at
Richmond, Virginia. The one hun
dredth anniversary of the Methodist
Episcopal Church’s formal organi
zation was celebrated in December,
1884, at tbe city of Baltimore,
where the Church was organized at
tbe celebrated “Christmas Confer
ence* of 1784.
The original Methodist Episcopal
Church was separated into two dis
tinct branches, of co ordinate au
thority and jurisdictiou. by the ac
tion of the General Conference
which met in New York city in May,
824. This was practically the
division of the Church into a North
ern and Southern Church. The oc
casion ot tbe division was tbe agi
tation ot the si very question. The
Northern Church kept the old name,
aud is still called the Methodist
Episcopal Church. Tbe Southern
Church took the name of the Metho
dist Episcopal Church, South, and
waa formally organized into a
separate body iu 1845, at Louis
ville. Kentucky. Its first General
Conference was held at Peteisburg,
Virginia, in 1846.
The General Conference has met
regularly every four years since, ex
cept at tbe appointed time iu 1862,
when the civil war interfered. The
sesaion this year will lie the tenth,
it wi I be composed of nearly 275
members—one-half of whom will
be laymen. The delegates are
elected by the annual Conferences,
each Conference being entitled to
one clerical delegate to every thirty-
six members, aud to unequal nuiu
ber of lay delegates. Tbe South
Caro'ina Conference at its recent
session iu Columbia elected the fol
lowing delegates:
Clerical.—W. W. Djncan, S B
Jones, S. A. Weber, A. M, Creitz-
berg, W. D. Kirkland and A. M.
Shipp. Alternates—J. M. Hoyd
and A. Coke Smith.
Lay.—James U. Carlisle, J. Ful
ler Lyon, W. T. D. Cousar, li Baer,
R II. Lemiioniugs and J, G. Clink
scales. Alternates—G. E, Prince
and W. L. Gray.
The Bishops preside at the ses
sions of tbe General Conference,
aud n case no Bishop is present
the Coulereiice chooses a president
pro tern. The business of tbe Gen
eral Conference is to make mles
and regulatiuus lor the Church,
under wise constitutional limita
tions, and to provide by n< cessaiy
legislation for running the maeliiu
ery of this extei sive and aggresMve
Church. It will legislate tor about
one million mcinbeis, who are
organized into forty Conferences,
distributed along the Atlantic and
Gulf coasts, from Maryland lo
Mexico. There are three Confer
ences on the Pa ific coast, several
in the far ‘West, one in tiie Indian
Teriitory and one iu Illinois; be
sides the original territory, iu the
Southern States, to which the
Cburoh was at first confined.
Besides ita mission work in this
country among the Mexicans, In
dians, Germans and iu the Terri
tories and on the Pacific coast, the
Cburoh has missions iu China and
Brazil. All these will engage the
attention of the General Conference.
Several ; ddilional Bishops will be
elected.
