POLITICS AND COTTON BAGGING,
It is marvellous to wh it extent
one *ill go *1 e;i bo thinks his pi-r-
»oua] iutoioe.’s an* in jeopardy . Hi-
liille cates to a bat tactics be re«''its
or with wlnii apc-ciouti arguments
be veils his misrepresentations, if
be may only gain bis own end. Now
t af, iu tbe matter of jute bagging
vef&us cotton bagging, the advo-
cates of the former have l».*eu driv
en to tbe wall aud I heir fallacious
rea>ouing has been exposed toevery
observant man by tbe clean cut,
well defined truths advanced iu
favor of cotton bagging, see their
dernier resort! It is so ludicrous
that »e hardly believe sensible meu
could trust to it to deceive even the
most igr; or ant. It runneth thus:
That while tbe rank and file of tar*
mers arc in earnest tbe promoters
of the change to cotton covering
are not so disinterested, but, on the
couirary, the chief agitators are
talking cotton covers tcith an ulte
rior motive, and that, perhaps, po
litical ! In this manner, those in*
terested iu the manufacture aud
sale of jute bagging, defeated at
every point, fall back upon the lor
loru hope of aiousiug prejudice
against the victorious columu-of
tbe anti “trust” army.
We would advise a cessation of
such futile tactics, for the fight the
farmers have undertaken is the
outgrowth of a principle coeval
with the existence of man, the first
law of nature, self-preservation;
aud restiug its whole strength upon
reason, its weapon is common sense.
All appeals to prejudice, therefore,
cannot be but abortive Any but
an honest motive ia totally foreign
to tbe promoters of a cause found
ed npon a principle, such aa this,
and the bint that politics is, after
all, behind the conduct of the farm,
era needs no refutation. We only
mentiou this matter to show the
jute men the error of their way and
to give them some wholesome ad
vice free gratis.
It is to be hoped that the promi
nent Chaneetou merchant, heavily
engaged in tbe sale of jute bagging,
who recently promulgated his spe
cious arguments iu circular form
amoug his customers throughout
the State, will live to see how much
of politics there is iu the “auti-jute
combination,” and that he will mod
ify considerably his views on tbe
subject as expressed iu an inter
view bed last week with a Repor
ter of The Heictand Courier.
THE COUNTY INSTITUTE-
The County Normal School for
white teachers will begin ou the
19th inst., ami will coutinue two
weeks. As was announced iu Thk
News lust week, Prof. Janins E.
Leigh, of Richmond, Va., will have
charge. It is very important that
trustees, teachers and all interested
in the cause of education should
•tleud the exercises of the school,
for, under the direction of one of the
ablest educators iu the Soi th, it
will certainly be conducive of much
good to the whole County.
The school tor colored teachers
will begin ou September 3rd, and
will continue two weeks. This
school will also be under the super,
inteudenceof Prof. Leigh aud is uo
less important than tbe school for
white teachers. This will be an
opportunity for all who believe iu
higher education for the colored
people to encourage the good work
by tbeir presence.
WAKE UP, GENTLEMEN!
The city fathers are hard to more
about some thiugs. It took two
y- ars to persuade them to purchase
a towu bell; that was uot very re
markable, as they are right to be
cautious about spending the peo
ple’s money. Now that they have
at last purchased a bell, however,
it seems as if it would take two
years more to persuade them to put
it up. Their conduct now is inex
plicable. A hundred aud thirty-
four dollars of tbe people’s money
is tied up in a bell which is totally
useless, simply because it is allow
ed to mat away ou the floor of the
hardware store. Won’t the Conn-
oil wake up f
A Public-Private Enterprise.
Editor Darlington Aetct:
Along with other criticisms on
our County Commissioners aud
their public acta, they are accused
with having a finger ia the Experi
mental Station levy of oue mill as
passed by oar Legislature. Allow
me in their behalf to say, that they
can only recommend a levy for
County ordinary furpotet, and Mes
srs. Law, flug^iu- ;iud W .r *, each
for himself, d-ny miy sc ioti in cr
knowledge of lev.. i«.i Lxper.taeui<tl
Statiou; iu fact they are not now
nor have been favorable to this
“public private enterprise,” and
condemn it in unmistakable terms.
For information to the tax pay
ers ol the County will Senator Ed
wards or either cf our Representa*.
lives please'explain as to this sep
arate an.I additional levy of one
mill f>.r Experimental Station f I,
with oue ir ember of the iiouse of
K- preseutativt-s, must think it were
belter to have submitleti tbe mat
ter to tt.e j6>pl«-, (Midi has b-en
and is i«ti 1 lire ca-uotu addi

the levy was made. Judging f.on;
inquiries made by die people ot the
Countv, through tins office, t.i.-ie
surely cannot be many tax payors
who knovv tbe levy 1.-1 made

Tbe association was called io order

monument to oui division coalman
der, A. P. iJill, wcie :epoited as in-
creased to a liberal amount and the
fund was turned over to the treass
urer. The association has nut loi-
goaeu are. olutiou offered by com- -
rode E. K. Dargau, five years ago,
rcsoiviui “ttiut me disabled s; 1
durs must be pensioned by the
State” aud, to day, is seen the full
fruition of our bopes, which has
emboldened us to undertake even
greater efiortf, Chiet among these
is the resolution to erect a monu
ment, on the Public Square, at Dar
lington, to our owu dead heroes
who fell ou the battlefield. U is
pioposed that the mouumeut shall
be au oruameut to tbe towu and au
honor to tbe hearts ot tuose who
conceived ol and to the hand that
executes this work of love aud hon
est merit. To our dead comrades
of the Pec Dee Light Artillery we
will erect tots lasting mark of our
esteem. Comiades from every sec
tion ot tbe country whoever au old
Pee Doe may live will report pro
gess ui work to to the central com
mittee, E. K. Dai gun, Esq., at Dar-
hugtou, and it is hoped before tbe
next reunion this mouumeut that
commemorates our dead will be uu-
veiled
Some of our comrades from a dis
tauee were present amoug, oth

the loss of kis new pants by a stray

main the unwritten part of the his
tory of tbe late war. J. J. Blake,
of .'It. Vernon, N\ Y , an old veteran
of thebatteiy, greeted us with a
letter of leuiembrauce. Yet it is
sad to think that since tbe old flag
was returned to tue lair hands that
pieeeu'.ed it to tbcuaileiy (Ml** .• i>

their memory green.
