KD1TOR “THIRD PARTIKS.’' To those of os who have observed with feelings of pleasutethe forma tion of lodges of tbe Farmers’ Alii anoe all over tbe Coouty, the intel ligence that colored branches of tbe Order are being formed in Chester field County causes the deepest re gret- Tbe great evil to be dreaded in tbe present condition of our so oiety from tbe organizing of the colored people into secret societies of any kind is so great and so ap parent to each and every one of us that to devo e time to an eluci dation of it would be worse thau useless. Tbe only point to which we wish to call attention is, that every member of this new Order owes it to his family, his neighbors, and to himself to ascertaiu at once whether the published statements p_f the formation of colored branches of the Order are true. If they are, than tbe Farmers’ Alliance is an institntiou to be shunned as we would sbnu a plague, and the vety name of it should be buried so deep that its echo would never again be heard within the borders of Darling ton County. Jnst on a par with this evil is the formation of tbe so called “Third Party” by the prohibition element in tbe State There is room in South Carolina for only two parties—the white man's and the negro’s, and he who does not ally himself with tbe former is the friend and supporter of the latter. It affords ns pleasure to see that the leaders of the prohibition move ment in South Carolina have stren uonsly denied that they wished to .organise a ‘third party.” This announcement is timely, and we hope that they will always hold to their present determination Pro hibit ion is all very well in its way, bat when it seeks to form a “third party”in Sonth Carolina, it is noth ing more than Republicanism and the sooner we recognize it as such the better for all parties concerned Apropos of the sabject of prima ries, we beg leave to call the atten tion et candidates for office and their friends to the fact that there ie only one afire method of annonuc- ing their candidacy so that it will be known in every township and hamlet; and that is by publishing it in such a newspaper as The Dab- LDtQTON News, whose cironlation extends to every nook and corner of the County The nsnal charge of Five Dollars, a fee which is tbe same all over the State, will be ex< pected for this service, and, in con sideration of it the notice will ap pear regularly every week until the day of the primary election. . Interesting Farming Operations. “Weit until I work up this last bill, and I will be with you in a moment.” ■ These words were addressed to tbe Reporter of the News on Tues day evening as he was walking down tbe path which extends along the weet of the house of tbe super intendeut of tbe Experimental Sta tion. Tbe speaker, who was no less a personage than the superiu tendent himself, gave evidence of the fsot that he believes that hard work is the greatest factor in suc cessful agricultural experiments, for notwithstanding that tbe hoar was seven o’clock, and every other fanner in tbe County had probably passed “from labor to refreshment,” this taitbfnl public official still had bis sleeves rolled up, and with hoe in hand, was working around bis infant cotton plants. The very last plant in the row having been prop erly attended to, the superinten dent laid down his hoe and advanc ed towards the Reporter and tbe friend who had accompanied him on his tour of inspection. Upon their intimating that the purpose of their visit was to see for then- selves the wonderful field of oats abont which so nrucb talk had been made lately, their affable host eon dueled them to the extreme south ern border of the form, where, extending from north to south, one of tbe most beautiful strips of green ever seen in this section ot the State presented itself to the astonished and admiring gaze of the two visitors; who, notwith- standiog the foot that they scarcely knew the difference between oats and not-grsas, coold not bat be impressed with the beaatiful sight. The strip is one sen in width and aevenand a half in length, and down its entire length ranges every conceivable shade of green. At the distance of half an acre apart stakes are driven, dividing the strip into plats, each of which ie an acre wide end half aa acre long. The thirteenth plat is again sub divided by a Hne running from north to eonth, making in all tour- teen separate plate on which the experiments are conducted. Plat No.1, was fertilized with 125 pounds ot cotton sssd meal, 84 pounds ‘. ~ff of acid pbo* 106 of nitrate of soda. Plat No. 2 contains 38 ponnds of muriate of potash, 60 pounds of acid pbos- { •bate, and 162 of nitrate of soda. Mat No. 3 contains 38 pounds of muriate of potash, 60 pounds of acid phosphate, and 811 ot nitrate of soda. On Plat No. 4 there were placed 125 pounds of cotton seed meal, 34 pounds muriate of poUsb, 39 of acid phosphate and 25 of nitiate ot sods. The tilth plat has 32 bushels ot cotton seed meal and 50 |H>auds oi Kaiuit, while on the sixth there was placed no kind ol fertilizer whatsoever. The next six plats are duplicates ot tbe first six, the same quality and quantity ol fertilizers being used on tbe seventh as on tbe first, that on tbe e gbtb being tbe same as tbe second, and so on. The soil which com poses the second six however, is considerably tatter than of that tbe first six, and tbe crops are oorre- spoud ngly better. At present tbe method of dividing the plats off by stakes for tae puipose of (listing uiehiug them, is supcrstlaous, as tbe line of demarkation is periectly patent at a glance. Tbe crop on each plat grows poor er in appearance than its predeces- »soi until tbe beginning ol tbe new series, where the seventh plat, tbe duplicate of tbe first as to fertiliz ing, stands conspicuous an contain ing, not only tbe finest display of oats on tbe farm, but the finest in Darlington County to-day ; indeed, we doubt very much whether there is anything in the whole .State which can equal it. The sorry condition of the two plats which were planted totally without fertii izers of any kind, present a strik ing and forcible illustration ot tbe importance of ibis- subject The last half acre in the field is, as al ready mentioned, divided into two equal parts, making a thirteenth and fourteenth plat of a quarter of an acre each. The former is fertil ized with 75 ponnds of flouts, and the latter with 75 pounds of slag, in addition to which there are on each 25 pounds of nitrate of soda. All of tbe seed was placed in ibe ground on January 30th. In every instance one half of tbe nitrate of soda was applied March 26tb, and tbe balance on April 30th. An inspection of those and other interesting nudertakings will well repay all tbe farmers in the Conn ty, and they may rest assured that they will flud in the superintendent of tbe Station a courteous official who is ever ready to unfold the mysteries of the useful experiments which he is so successfully conduct ing. From time to time, as farther progress is made, full reports of all matters of interest which are trans piring at the Station, will be pub liuhed in The Darlington News. Services on Snnday. (Reported fer the News) A large number gathered at tbe Methodist Church, Sunday morn ing, to witness the baptism and tbe admission to church membership of many converls. Owing to the ab sence of Rev. G. B. Moore, who was in attendance on the Southern Bap tist Convention at Richmond, Va., there were no services at the Bap tist Church, and that congregation divided, some going to the Presby. terian, but the mujoiity to the Methodist Church. Before the usa- al service, which commenced at ele ven, a service of prayer was held in that church beginning at ten o’clock. Rev R. C. Oliver perform ed t e ordinance of baptism, after which Rev. Mr. Scndday admitted a large number into the church Abont a dozen who were nnable to join the church on Suuday were received Monday night. The revival services recently held in this place, have had a very grat ifying result and there can be no tatter meaus of judging the good work done than to note the large number ol converts, many of whom were led to take this step by the impression these sim vices made npon them. In all fifty two per sons, have joined or signified their intenth n of joining the Meihodist Church, forty the Baptist and about eight tbe Presbyterian It is very probable that many more wi l so >u connect themselves with one or the other of the several churches in town. The meetings which have been conducted principally by Miss Gor don for the past week came to a close on Suuday night. Mss Gor don returned to Charleston Monday afternoon leaving behind her the most favorable impressions. Ail wore affected by her gentle, lib eral spirit and the earnestness with which she espoused the canse ot Christianity was very touching Building and Loan Associations- “Why do von not bnild a house instead of paying rent year after year f a real estate dealer asked a reporter for the Mail and Express recently. “Bail J a house! Why, it takes all 1 earn to pay the rent and other expenses of boose keeping.” “Yon can build a boose with what you are now paying for rent.” “But where will I get tbe capi tal T “Join a building and loan associ ation and take oat a loan,” “I have no security to offer for the loan.” “Tbe property yon bay will eerve as eecanty.” “What does it cost to join the aseooistion T” “The initiation f«>e is fitly cents and tbe weekly dues are twenty- five cents on each share that you own. The nominal valne of these shares is $250 and you mast take at loast two shares.” “Do 1 pay cash for these shares P “Not at all The certificates are iaaoed to yoa, sad the weekly daes are the payments that yon make on the shares.” “Then how do I obtain a loan P “The association pats ap tbe money at auction, and it is award ed to the member that off rs tbe best premium. It is pat up tu snares ot $250 esc ’, and the highest bid dei may take as many abates as he desirei*.”- “.Siijipise I wanted to bay a house Mor.ii $2,400, how should I go about it P •‘You Mould need to take ten shares to obtain 42,400, and if tbe premium bid was $50 you would take out two additional shares to j cover the premium ; making twelve shares ot 13,000. Of this amount #600 would be ret. ined by tbe as aocistiou for premiums, and 82,400 would bo paid for the property, You would ta required to pay 5 per cent, interest on the 83,000, or 8150 a year; and your dues would ta 83 a week on the twelve shares, or 8156 a yeai, making altogether $30<iayear, or about what your lent now amounts to.” “Would 1 be given a title to the properly P “Certainly, the deed would ta made out in your name. The as sociation would take a mortgage to seenre it agaiust loss, but in from seven to eight years tbe dues, inter est and loans received by the asso- oiatitu will make the shares fully paid up and the mortgage will be cancel led, and you will own your properly free and clear. ” Tbe above conversation induced tbe reporter to inquire into the sub ject, now attracting so much utteu- tion, of coperstive building asso ciations. He found that they orig inated in England about sixty years ago. Philadelphia was the first city in this country to adopt the co operative building plan, and the miles of street lined with neat Irame cottages that form the outskirts of the city sre the result It is esti mated that over 50,000 houses are owned by workmen in Philadel phia, and that 600 building and loan associations are in existence there to-day. The total number in the United States is estimated at 50,000, with a membership of 750,000, and an aggregate capital of 8750,000,000. As an investment a building as sociation is better than a bank. They give a higher interest and better security. For instance, if a man saving 81 a week takes four shares in an association, he will get 81,000 in the end. He will have paid ten years’ assessments on four shares, or 8520, and his net gain will be 8480. If he pays 8520 into a bank, he gets interest at 5 per •ent. amounting to 847.35, and at the end of hi* ten years be has 8567 to his credit agaiust 81,000 in tbe association, a balance ot 8432.65 in favor of the latter. He is secured by first mortgages on real estate, and there is no way that his capi tal can be wiped out The officers of the association are under bond* that secure the safety of the funds in their charge. These funds are not large, as the loans are sold as fast as sufficient amounts accumn late. The loans aie made on prop erty which is found to have a clear title when searched by the associa tion’s attorney. Appraisers are employed to place a value on i rop erty before it is purchased, and when bmldiugs are to ta put. up full plans aud estimues must be submitted.—N. Y. Mail and Express. Washington Letter. (From Our Regular Correspondent.) Washington, May llth.'88. Senators Edmunds aud Evarts, the two leading Reimbiicau mem bers ot tbe Senate Judiciary Com mittee, to which the nomination of Mr. Fuller for Chief Justice has been referred, are charged with having conspired together for the purpose of delaying a repot t upon the nomination until after the prest deutial election, aud should a Re- S ablioau by accident be elected, to elay it until after his insogura tion, that be may nominate a He pu ulican for Chief J ustice. I don’t believe this charge, not that tbe Senators named would object to carrying out such a plan were it feaaible, but because tbev are en tirely too shrewd to attempt any thing which they know it is impos- eible to accomplish, aud this would certainly be impossible. If I were disposed to wager on this subject, I should have no hesitation whatever in laving odd* that Mr. Fnller would be confirmed inside of three Joe James’s Murder. [Ch»rl«»t0a World.] The cowardly assassination of old man Joe James, in Darlington county, an account of which wa* published in the World a few days since, demands tbe most searching investigation. A liberal reward should at once bq offered by Gov ernor Richaidson for theapprelien sion of the criminal. If there is not sufficient home detective talent in Darlington county to fasten the crime upon the perpetrator, foreign talent should be imp >rted. Murder committed in the heat of passion, while never justifiable, is sometimes possessed of extenuating circumstances of such a nature as to furnish the criminal with at least a pretense of plausible excuse, but tbe red-handed assassin has no ar gument to advance in mitigation of his act, aud he should always be dealt with severely and summarily. Pity is indeed wasted when bestow ed upon such a despicable wretch. It seems incredible that a man’s life should have been attempted by assassins four times—the last time suocissfully—within four years, but it is, nevertheless, only too true. Old man James’s blood is crying out to tbe county of Darlington— nay, to tbe whole State—for ven geance, and the State should heed the call. Mr. James’s murder must be avenged. weeks, and anless somet ing more serioas than anything yet brooght against him should be unearthed, bis confirmation is likely to ta un animous. Another good Republican office holder has gone wiong. His ac counts are short something like 810 000. His name is Gen. Jaa. W. Ewing, and he was appointed a disbursing clerk of tbe Depart ment ot Justice. He was ai'poiuied as a Republican some six or eight year* ato, from West Virginia. It is said hat the dei.dcatious began in 1882 and have continued right along until they amount to the above sum. Tbe Government will lose nothing as be was under bond. He has been dismissed, aud Frank O. Brauiguu, of iSteutaiisville, Ohio, a good Democrat, appointed in his place. Had this been done in the early da)8 of the administra tion, Ewing’s bondsmen would not have bad so much to pay. The House Committee on appro priations has reported a bill appro priating 83,560,000 to meet defi cieuoies iu tbe appropriation tor the payment of Army Pensions daring the remainder of tbe present fiscal year. Senator Voorhees, who was con fined to his room with a carbuncle on his leg tor nearly a week after bis recent speech, on Tuesday apologized to the Senate for the language he used in replying to Ingalls’ charges. The river and harbor bill has been passed by the Honse by a more than two thirds majority. It appropriates 820,000,000. Senator Moody in the Marion Conven tion. Senator T. C. Moody moved that the delegates to the State Conven tion be instructed to vote against making nominations for State offi cers at the coming convention. He made a vigorous, scathing speech against what he denominates the Columbia ring. He said that of his own knowledge there is a gigantic movement on foot within the Co lumbia ring to capture the conven tion which meets on tbe 17th, and to force tbe present incumbents of the Stale offices upon the people for another term. He also said that tbe bill for the increased ap propriation fer the South Carolina College was, with the Trustees, conceived and batched iu the ring and fotced upon a gagged Legisla ture aud people, so that no opinion ol approbation or disapprobation could find expression. He announc ed his purpose to take the stump against one ot the highest officers of the State, meaning the Gover nor. The motion was carried The convention favored primary nomination for elections for every political office in the State and county, as well as Congressional, and tor Solicitor. One hundred and forty-nine delegates weie present. —Columbia Register.
