“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

fined to his room with a carbuncle

been passed by the Honse by a

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.
