One of the m'gunients uneil in support of the sub-treasury, is the <«taheaRnt that^moneyris s«aioe,',au4 that the passage of this measure will give the farmer more money. It is strunge that it has never occurred to these agitators that the very ad vocacy of such radical iiuancial views is doing more to make money scarce than anything else that can lie done. The sub-treasury pajiers are try ing to make the impression that everybody who.- opposes- thtv^ht. -saving.oiJUau'. ..Now the valnturf. treasury is an enemy of the Alli ance. This is just a specimen of their intolerance, and in it they only follow the example of some of the bigots who set np as leaders of the people. ItARMNtiTON, S. C. Wednesday, Aug. 26, 1891.

ANIDBIINf EMEItT. The editor takes pleasure in an- nouuciug to the friends of The HekaM* that Mr. T. J. I>rew. for- merly of Cheraw. has liecome associa ted with him in the management of the paper. Mr. I>rew is a practical printer and has had considerable experience in the business. The improvement in the arrange ment and typographical anpearunce of this weeks issue, as well as most of the selections, is the result of Mr. Drew’s taste and experience.

Woods. T. J. Drew. I NEWSPAPER fRANKE. Mr. A. (t. Kollock, editor of the Cheraw Reporter, who Inis owned The Daklisotok Herald ever since its establishment, has sold his interest in the latter paper. Mr. T. j. Drew, who has lieen foreman of the Cheraw Reporter for several years, has entered into a copartner ship with Mr. W. D. Woods in the conduct of The Herald. The Re porter, in its last issue, speaks in the highest terms of Mr. Drew. He ar rived in Darlington last week, and has already entered upon the dis charge of the duties of his new posi tion. We welcome Mr. Drew to onr town and wish for The Herald every success under its new manage ment, and join the Reporter is con gratulating Mr. Woods “upon his good fortune in securing a partne r thoroughly reliable and honest.”— Darlington New s. 20th inst. There is enough money in the county for the legitimate wants of trade, hut it is uneipuilly distributed, and for this condition of affairs the tariff law is resjamsible. The mere fact that the Southern farmer fortunate »\ having an able minister was enabled, in the face of so manv apparently insuramountahle obstacles, to very largely better his com! it ion since t,he War, is pretty conclusive proof that he is too intel ligent and self-reliant to need the paternal care of the National lio\ern- ment. The Alliance as a social and Imsi- nesi organization deserves the sympa thy and supjHiri of all good citizens, hut if its intelligent memliers do not unite in the effort to prevent it from becoming an oath-hound jsilitical part\. its doom is sealed and disin tegration is its portion. Secret jioliti- cal parties have never IteeiV'n success in this couirtrv. _ H ' i ■ The oft exploded story ulwmt the Government lending money to private individuals, or as the sub-treasury advocates put it to linkers, is still swinging round the circle, and still seems to obtain a certain amount of credence. It is very true that at times money has been Isirrowed from the National Government, hut it was without the knowledge of the treas ury officials, and the men who did the borrowing are paying a little more than two per cent, for its use, and will hardly want to get any more from “I’nole Sam's Stocking. They are paying Wh princijial and interest bv an enforced so jotirn in the penitentiary. We did not ask the Freeman for its opinion as to the relative amount of intelligence possessed by Dr.Stokes or Senator Bntler; but challengud it to take up the Ocala platform, sec tion by section, and show how the fanner eon Id Is- Vnetited by its !*•- coming a law.

There is no doubt that a pea fallow is one of the from the stalk or shucking it, would it not, from the waste, he largely re duced in value? Now corn fed this way would be no more wasted than are oats as usually handled on the plantation. I whs talking lately with a man raised in Pennsylvania about their plan of farming. He spoke of the importance of the oat crop to them, hut said “we don’t'' manage it like you do; we think it i important to thresh them.” I have: no douhti that at least half the oat* raised in this county are wasted by that we hgve ever had, and invite them to the careless handling they get.

I planted last fall some of the lightest land I have with onchusliel of seed. The oats, though not producing as much to the acre, were equally as plump and heavy as those grown on rich liottnms and I am satisfied that any land that grow'* corn will grow oats if it is made sufficiently rich. I lielieve the idisa of planting oats very thick is a mis taken one. I planted last year from September up to the last of Novem- lier 1 bushel to the acre of first class red oats and made an excellent crop.
