I told her that 1 did not know That rule, but then I knew A rule that just as well would go— The Oneness of the Two.

JSditor Darlington Newt : To fulfill my promise to you rel ative to that caucus “held over the Bank,” it is necessary for me not only to tell you whether or not it was held, but also by whom it was held and the reason why it was held. Was there then a caucus held over the Bank before the conven tion met T ‘If you ohoose to dignify a hasty, quickly gotten-np conference with jtucb appellation, yes. By whom was it held f Not by the Executive Committee of the Darlington County Farmers’ Club, I am sure, as your iuformant stated; not by farmert at tuck, but by Democrats, “arue and tried”— by delegates sent up from the Dem ocratic clubs of the county. Ask your informant, therefore, when he proposes to give “dots” in the fu ture, “to pull down his vest, wipe off his chin,” and comb the grass seed from his head. If hold by Democrats, whose bounden duty it is to vie with each other iu “co-op eration and brotherhood,” were there any just reasons why it was held? In perfect candor and with “ill-will to no man,” let me tell your readers briefly, why it was held Not so much that something might be “cut and dried,” but rath er, iu the first place that a rebuke might be given to a presumptuous aud intolerant spirit, manifesting it self of late in the Democratic fold. When measures, considered by us fiountry Democrats, of the highest interest to thf whole people, were being discussed and urged, we were plainly told: “You country people- farmers, dou’t know what you want. You asked that >onr children might be educated and we gave you ‘free tuition’ in the South Carolina Col lege for vour ‘poor boys’ and you won’t have it. Yon asked for the means to help you ont of your finan cial troubles and we gave you a continuance of the lieu law—that panacea for your impoverishment, and yon growl about it. You ask ed for a Democratic plan of nomin ating officers aud we gave you the convention plan—the very best that ‘e’er the snn shone on,’ and yon wanted something better. You don’t know what yon want.” And when one dared to call in question this or similar statements, he was as plainly told, ‘‘Don’t do that again.” The holding of the.caucus was a necessity too, by reason of the cir cumstances. Madam Kumor said, and the results showed how truly she spoke, that long before the country delegates arrived, “the whole thing was entand dried,” and the town, with “a look o«f expec tancy and suppressed excitement,” awaited the action cf the conven tion, confirming what bad al r eady been done. Hadn’t the “order of bnainess been reviewed f” Hadn’t “the noblest son of Seutb Carolina,” Wade Hampton not excepted, been dragged, resistiffg, to the van T Hadn’t speeches, the very embodi men t of eloq uence been already corn - ed f Hadn’t it already gone turtb, “AH things are ready, come T” What wonder then, that the gras sy grangers should have resorted to a caucus or aoy other legitimate means of makiug their power and influence felt. Again, one other reason why the canons was a necessity. Because in it farmers enjoyed an opportunity to learn this one thing, that they “owe it to themselves to retain their tempers aud their dig- nlty, and to show by their votes where their sympathies aud princi- ifles are.” A.

He was born in the year 1800, and was Bector of the Episco pal Charclt in Colombia for flity years, Ball of the Social Club on October 26- (Reporterfor the News.) Tb# Reporter-for the News en tered the Half to see the throng of dancers in the first waltz, which opened the ball, and to bear the strains ot as flue a band for dancing as has ever been beard in Darling ton. There it always something which strike beholders in the first bird’s eye view of such a scene, aud it takes some time to separate from the thTong those who particularly attract the attention. The floor manager with His badge of white I nttffTae emnmfttee with their taste ful badges ot pink, were ot course unmistakable, and fortunate indeed were they in the sitnation of part ners We tarn towards those who are the guests of the evening, the stran gers in oar gates. Onr sister town of Florenco is represented by one whose fine appearance and engag ing manners, make her at once a general favorite. Society Hill, too, comes in for a share of praise. One of the prettiest dancers in the hall is seen in her petite white robed representative. The town of Mar ion, onr sister across the Great Pee Dee, has also a place in the picture. Among those who claim allegiance to her, a charming woman, a veri table white moss rose bud. is a cen tre of attraction. Edgefield too, can claim a beauty “who fair as a star,” made the memory of those fleeting boars bright for many a youth and old batchelor. Charles ton, as she always is, was well rep resented. The handsome girl who so gracefully led the German was frpm that city. Summerville, the city of pines, has also a representa tive well worthy of herself. One whose vivacity aud wit make her charming whether in the crowded ball room or around the cozy fire side. I may be pardoned for say ing that among the beautiful cos tumes one which was particularly striking was of black, with a “darn ed uci” overdress of old gold. This piece of handiwork had taken a pre mium at the county fair. Two sisters, dressed in white, were particularly charming; their dancing was much admired, The German begau at twelve o’clock. Mauy ot the beautiful favors used were made by the fair bauds of the dancers themselves. The garland figure was beautiful, aud the fine opportunity which it gave to show the grace of the dancing, was cot thrown away. There was not a thing to mar the enjoyment of the evening, aud it was with regret that the laststiaius of “Home, Sweet Home,” warned that the hour for parting had come. We wish the Darlington Social (Tub every success. Under the management of its accomplished President we look lorward to other social events which need only be as charming as the annual dance ot the 29ih of October, 1880. Better Railroad Facilities Asked For- (Cor. Columbia Register.) Now that the people iu the East ern portion of the State are asking for the privilege of day communica tion with Columnia over the Wil mington, Columbia and Angustu Railroad, does it not behoove our business men to look alter their own interests by seconding their efforts f This is one of the most fertile and prosperous sections ol the State, and it baa always main tained the kindest feelings towards Columbia One of the best ways lor us to reciprocate their kindness is to shorten the time it takes lor them to visit ns. A midnight buggy ride to catch a railroad train is not conducive to the health or pleasure of travelers, and it is not strange that many of onr Eastern friends come to Columbia only when they are obliged to. The lawyers must come to the Supreme Court, and the members of the Legislature must put up with the present dis comforts as a part of their patriotic doty ; but the purchaser, who would ireqnently run up to the city if he could eaqjiy do so., will not pvt up with them. It takes four days for the people of Darlington Oonnty to make the round trip to Columbia by rail— about as long as it would take them to go to New York aud jreturn { A daily train should leave Florence* to connect with the Cberaw and Darlington Railroad. Darlington, Cberaw, Marion, Florence, Tim- moiisville, Maysville, Lynchburg aud other places would give suf ficient patronage to make it profit able to run this daily train. The railroad business would increase yearly. The better the railroad facilities the more do people travel- Some of the officers Of the Wilming ton, Columbia and Angnsta Rail road iompany favor putting on a daily train, aud they believe it will pay the comp my to do it. la it not for tbe interest of Columbia that it should be done? This matter will be brought be fore'tbe Board ofTrfide on Wed nesday night, if there is sufficient interest manitested in.it. P. Rev. Ellison Capers, of Green ville, baa been offered the Episco pal Bishoprio of Batton, Maryland. Our Railroad Facilities with the East ern Part of the aitate. (From (he Columbia Register.) To express it truly we have no railroad facilities with the Eastern part of the State whatever, although there are lines of road coinmnuicat- ing will) all the important trade centres. Darlington and Cberaw, Marion, Timmonsville aud other places on our Eastern systems of road have no practical connection with our city whatever. It is actually so, instance, that tbe Benuettsville ' people gel the New York papers wfore they can get tbe papers from their own capital, and all passenger traffic, as well as all other, is literally cut off between Columbia aud the East ern section of the State. Nobody will come here who can help it us long as they have such schedules to undergo as is now afforded them. The Eastern portion of the State is now moving for better accommoda tions. Will they get it ? We don’t know. We are informed that some of the officers of the Wilmington, Colombia aud Augusta Road favor this movement. We hope this is so. But it is uot easy to see if this road had favored such accommoda tion to the general public, why it should have been so long defer red. The East is decidedly tbe richest |K>rtiou of the State, ami yet it is practically a dead section to us iu Columbia. If ever there was a matter that called loudly and imperatively for the action of our Board of Trade this surely does. Tbe communica tion we published yesterday, signed “P.,” puts this matter before the people very poiutedly. We know tlie President of the Board is fully alive to this important matter ; but cau beget more thau a handful of the Board together to take cogniz anceofthat which so much concerns us all? Jt the people of tb“ East want bet tel rail facilities with our city, should not our people meet them more thau hall way in the effort ! We are informed that a meeting ol our Board will be called to look after tbi* matter. If so. we entreat our merchants to make it au im pressive meeting. If it should ap |K*ar that they take no interest iu the movemeut, as will be shown by such au attendance as is usual, it will be at once said, and rightly said, we are giving Columbia all the faci Dies she wants, which is proved by her own merchants fail ing to attend a meeting called to further the movement for bet ter accommodatiou. Will not this be a thoroughly logical couclu- 4 ; *u ? Columbia aud Darlington. (Columbia Cor. News aud Courier.) At the meeting of the board ot trade to night the foliowing tesolu lions were offered by President Pearce aud unanimous!} adopted; Whereas, the railroad facilities between Florence aud Columbia are iuadequate to the requirements ol that portion of the State, it taking four days to make the round trip from Darlington to Columbia over the Wilmington, Columbia and Au gusta Railroad—about as loug As it takes logo from Darlington to New York aud return Resolved, That we sympathize with tbe movement now being made in the Eastern section of the Stete to obtain easy and rapid transit to aud from the Capital of the State. We are firmly ot the belief that a day train from Florence to Colum bia. connecting with the Cberaw and Darlington Railioad, could be made profitable to the railroad com pany, while it would confer great benefits upon that fertile-and pros perons section aud npou Columbia, which city desires to have close personal aud business relation* with its people. We have not called upon this public-spirited corporation to take action npou important matter nutil our Eastern friends have come forward to ask for themselves, bat all our inclinations and interests prompt us to urge their cause. Resolved, That it is the sense of this board that a day train from Florence to Columbia, couneeiing with tbe Cberaw aud Darlington Railroad, has become a necessity, aud we respeetfu'ly ask the officers of tbe Wiliuiugtou, Columbia ami Augusta Railroad Company to place such a train upon their road at their earliest convenience. Resolved, That a copy ot this pre amble and rcsoiulwus, signed by tbe president and secretary of the boanl, be mailed by the secretary to Col. R. R. Bridgers, president of the aforenamed company, aud that it be given to the Register and Newt and Courier, fur publication. Tbe action of tbe board is timely. The present schedules make the people of t he Pee Dee section aud of Columbia strangers tc each oth er, and bar all approach to bosiuess intimacy. A trial will convince tbe most skeptical that Hughes’ Gough Symp is just what tbe proprietors claim for it, a simple, efficient re medy for Coughs, Colds, Asthma, etc. Ask your druggist for it. tiur Washingtou .Letter- [From our Rogulsr C«rro«ponJent ] Washington, D. C., Nov. 2, ’86. The Congressional campaign be tug over, public interest again cen ters in Washington. Congressmen and politicians who have been so scarce in this city for k few weeks prior to the elections, are returning and the city is rapidly filling up with its winter contingent from every part of the United States. Thp Government has now been in Democratic hands for nineteen months aud the gomj growing con tained iu the forttig reports to Congress from the Executive Departments will gratify the Demo cratic beart.and be melancholy lit erature for tbe ^Republicans. Two years ago tbe Republicans predic ted that if tbe Democrats came into power, the industries ol the coun try woujd go to ruin. Just the re verse has been the case, aud the condition ot business to-day is fur better than it was two years ago. They said the Democrats would re pudiate the public debt, but, on the contrary, it has been steadily paid off'aud diminished. They predic ted that the Democrats would pay all of the rebel claims, but uot one claim has been paid. In short, every prediction of tbe opposition has come to naught, and the Demo cratic party with au honest Presi dent, au honest Cabinet and an honest branch of Cougrcss, has (in- complisbed more practical reform iu the short time it has been in power than cau be shown iu the twenty years of Republican rule. That the Government is lieing economically administeied ai d that there is s better condition of things in the business world since uew and clean hands are at tbe helm, there are ample facts and fig ures to chow. Eor lustguce, there have been over one hundred and seventeen millions of tbe public dt-bt paid by the Treasury since Mr. Mauniug became Secretary. Tbe surplus last year was over ninety millions, this year, judging by the receipts thus tar, tbe sur plus will be over one hundred mil lions. The receipts at the Treas ury now are over a million dollars a day. There is a great demand at the Treasury for the small silver cer tificates, which is considered a good sign of iucreasiug business Tuere is also a steady aud increas ed demand for silver and subsidiary coiu which is a furtner indication ot improvement iu business. Then there is a demand lor silverdol.ars Those that are put out now do not come back. Secretary Manning, in his report to Congress, will present a strong argument iu favor ol the redaction of taxes. His principle mason for this will be based upon tbe con dition of the Treasury and the pil iug up of a surplus w hich is a con stant temptation to speculative schemes in Congress. Secretary Lamar’s report will also show that tbe Interior Depart ment is sate in Democratic Lauds, it will show that more work is now doue iu tue Patent Office aud that better systems prevail there. It will show that more pensions have been issued by a smaller force of clerks, and that by due discrimiua- tiou pensions are granted only to those who deserve them. It will show lots of uew railroads construc ted, and lots of wire fencing pulled dowu from around Government property which was grabbed by men who had no right to it. it wilt show that depredations ou the public domain are being suppress ed. Suits are brought aud success fully prosecuted agaiust big cor- pofatious 14 ho fcave made a system aud business and immense wealth out ot laud grabbing, in preference PQ til# poof fellows who happen to stray upon tbe public domain and cut a tew trees because they do not know better. Almost every week, by word or deed, or both, President Cleveland demonstrates tbat be bas the cour age of his couvictious, tbat he is D <> juRg^r of words.

The President did not go home to vote, neither did Secretary Man ning nor Attorney General Gar- U*d.

It is estimated that about 100,000 pounds of oleomargarine are dis posed of ananaily in Charleston, and that a good deal of it is not sold as gleQimtrgarjqe either. The main object of the Act, however, is to prevent the sale ot oleomargarine for butter, and,after ‘Jit goes into effect it will be almost impossible tor purchasers to buy oleomarga rine without knowing it, as no per son will be allowed to sell it, no matter bow small tbe quantity, un less it is put up iu special wooden or paper boxes similar to those now nsed by ciocers for < ehvering bat ter and lard.

Is wheat a pr< fitublecrop in the cotton bell? Except in limestone and high, mountainous regions, it is uot. The yield is too uncertain the cost of raising too great Wheat is probably farther removed from original wild (and, therefore, hardy) state thau any plant we cultivate. It }).hu been doqiksiicated so loug, and so changed by domesticati in, that botanists have tailed to identi fy the plant or plants from which it originally came It has been so changed, it has become so artificial in its nut are and habits, tbat it give way under competition, aud cannot hold its place, iu the struggle for existence, with the hardier and more vigorous plants that it en counters. But for mau’s aid, wheat would die out and disup[H-Hr iu one, or at most two or three yeais it must have a thoroughly prepared soil aud an abundance of food, es pecially Qitiogeuous food, the cost liest of all. It has very little root and cannot set free aud appropri ate the locked up food iu the soil. Everything musf be ready prepar ed aud fully within its reach. As a consequence of these peculiarities it y ields readily to adverse iufinen ecu, whether of dim ale, seasons or soils. It withatauds moderate cold quite well; but this said, al if said. As a matter of long experience and extended observation, we know that wheat thrives best iu cool cli mates The northern United States and uorthcru Europe is the home of the wheat crop. In those regions wheat is successlully grown, even wtun sown iu the spring. At tbe South, wheat sown at that season would not bring back tbe seed to the sower. A southern climate then does not st-em to be adapted to the constitution of the wheat plant. Bat in addition to this, pr possibly as a couseqnence of this, wheat is greatly more liable to be destroyed by rust at the South than at the North. This is the weak point in wheat culture with as. This is tbe chief thing that renders tbe wheat crop so nncertain and unreliable. How to guard against rnst is then tbe foremost consideration in the preparation for the crop. As a mat ter of universal experience, it is well known tbat dampness, both of soil aud air, and a succulent, sap py growth of tbe plant, are both favorable to the development of rnst. A dry May and a good wheat crop usually go together. Now so tar as the amount of rain and the general bnmidity of the atmosphere is couoeined, the farmer ia helpless; beoancot control these. But he cau wayd off iu part the effecia ot excessive rain by selecting for his wheat fields high knobe or kuolis, from which water runs oft rapidly, and the soils of which are, there fore, comparatively dry. He can select those soils, also, which are least retentive of. moisture. a rule, aaoh as have comparatively lit tle hamna, are direr than those which abound in tbat substance. The soils of low lauds are damper than those of uplands, and the air which rests upon tbe former is gen erally damper than that over the latter. This is shown by the heavy- dews which prevail on bottom lands. It is obvious, therefore, that a t'anm r’s judgment becomes a de cided factor in the raising of a wheat crop. Again, we have said, that a sne- cnleut, sappy growth of wheat, fa vors the development of rust Yes ; to a certaiu degree he can —1st by a proper selection of soil as discuss ed above; and 2d by a proper reg nlatioa of the manner applied to crop. Excessive doses of most fer tilize! s, but particularly jof nitro genous ttiimures tend to develop luxnrient growth of'.btalk and leaves Every oqe, has uotjpod t^e tenden cy of wheat thus manured to fall down or “lodge.” The stem is soft and unable to bold np the beads Hence, whilst wheat must have manure, and must have nitrogen ous manure too, these should not be applied in excessive amounts, aud the nitrogen should be well proportioned to the other ingredi ents, so that a well balanced devel opment of Uir plant. To sum np, therefore, wheat should be sown on high dry land, with a rather llmsty soil aud with a uojl rather ueyqjtj of hamus Snob a soil is usually poor. Wheat will uot grow on poor soils— hence it mast be manured. Wheat needs more uitrogen thau most other piauts—beuueit must be man ured with nitrogenous mannrea hut a medium manuring—the equiva lent of, say five bnudred bushels of cotton seed to to the sere—would be better thau a much larger amount. Gottou seed is a good manure ft r wheat, especially ou very poor land. And poor land is beet for wheat when properly man ured. But cotton seed may be im proved by the addition of a little phosphate. Fifty qnshels of cotton seed and I0Q to 150 pounds pf pppl phosphate per acre is a safe aud reliable mauuriug for wheat. But why discuss the growing of wheat, when it is admittwi to bean unprofitable crop. Because, a crop which might not pay as a market, or mouey crop, may pay very hand somely whin growq L>r home use. This is most generally true. There are very tew things a farmer cau buy cheaper than he can raise. Our people have falieu into the terrible belief tbat they cau buy almost everything cheaper than they can raise it. They do uot think the; cau buy cotton cheaper than they do raise it, hat prnbably tbat prop osition comes nearer ’.he truth thau it does in the case of almost any other crop grown. By all means let every farmer sow enpugh wheat fpr home use For tbe small crop nee essary for this end, he cau find enough land well suited to it—he can spare the needed manure, aud be can take time to give it thorough preparation. Plough, roll and bar until brought into finest tilth; sow at once, and sow tbat variety which bus OT-ceedod best iu your own locality. Procure seed a little south rather thau far uorth of you.

(From the 5fqws and Cooriar,) Among the prisoners who were tried at the present term of the U.iitod States District Court was a short, slender negro, who answered to the name of John Rowan, aud who was charged with retailing |i- qnot without a liceq^ in St. An drews’s Parish. Rowan was tred (n Thursday and defended by Mr. S. J.

He was iden tified by Deputy United Stares Marshal L. \V. Wallnce and sereral colored men who came from Mariou and who were in attendance ou the Court as witnesses. These men identified him as Chestnut Town send, who in 1871] mordered a col- ored man named Caesar Cousar. The murder took place at Dunbar’s store, neat the line which divides Marion from Marlboro’Conqty, and the murderer escaped soou after, committing the deed. At the in' stance of these parties, Rowan, oc Townsend, was arrested auq locked up at the Maiu Station. Yestenlay morning half a dozen or more white residents of Mariou County called at the Main Station to see it they could identify the murderer Aftur looking at him critically fora short time most of tbg party agreed that the prisoner corresponded in appear ance with the murderer of Caesar Cousar. Oue of the tneu suggested however, that all doubts might be determined by a close examination. He called the attention of the other witnesses to the tact tbat Townsend the murderer, had been shot in the left breast near tlifj shoulder uni? suggested that an examination of the prisouer be made.
