D. WOODS, T. J. DREW. EDITORS AND moritiKToits. One Dollar a Year. DARLINGTON, S. C. Wednesday, Feb. 3. 1892. The National Economist advises its readers not to read the papers that oppose the Ocala demands. If ftie art of printing was a little older, the editor of the Kconomist would have made his fortune in the Dark Ages. In justice to the Sub-Treasury leaders, it may he stated that there is one subject on which their ideas are clearly defined; and that is the absolute importance of securing for themselves a fat office. The title of the Bill ought to he changed so as to read, “Bill for the relief of the office seekers.'’ The readers of Tiik Hkkai.d will please hear in mind that the articles on the first page are copied from other papers, and are published to show the gcneraldriftof public senti ment, as understood by our contem poraries. Our own views, on public ijnes- tions. will be found in the editorial columns of the paper. We wish also to say that we are not. responsi ble for the opinions of our correspon dents. Millions of dollars are unjustly taken from the pockets of the farm ers, every year, to enrich the protect ed manufacturers of New England, and yet they ignore this and run af ter such visionary and impracticable schemes as the Sub-Treasury and tin Free Coinage of Silver. With this iniquitous robbery removed, there will be a plenty of money and no talk of hard times except from pro fessional grumblers. Somebody has offered a reward for a Sub-Treas ury leader who is not an aspirant for some office. Why don’t some disin terested patriot claim it? In another column we give an ar ticle, from the News & Courier, in regard to the cultivation of rice, and hjgie that somc^^n^giidcrs, who have planted-it, will give ns an arti cle on the subject. So far as we can judge, by consulting with experienced farmers, it will pay well on swamp land, hut is not at all certain on up land, for the reason that it re pi ires a great deal of moisture to mature the grain. There will certainly hi very little risk in trying an acre or two and if it proves profitable it will open up a new industry. Nearly every farmer in the county buys a good deal in the course of I he year, and he can just as well make it for his use, at least. The only groceries that ought to be charged to the ac count of a farmer are sugar and cof fee, the only two things that are of daily consumption that he can't raise for himself. In regard to the cul ture of rice, it may he stated that what is made in our section is al ways in demand, in the low country, for seed, as it never contains volun teer rice, which injures the quality very considerably. 'There are a great many little patches of swamp land that are too wet for corn, but which would do admirably for rice. CHARLES H. SPIRGEOX. Tl e death of Churl-.*: 11. Spurge in, the great English Baptist preacher, will bring a pang of regtvl to mil lions of hearts, and will be esteemed a great loss to Christianity every where. There are few people who have not heard of this remarkable man, am! the great success that at tended his ministry in London, where for thirty years he preached to the largest congregations that have ever gathered since tin* days of Wesley and Whitfield. There was nothing sensational in his style, but there was a simplicity and directness Unit went straight t > the hearts of his hearers, and to this more than any other cause his popularity was due. In the ordinary acceptation of the term, he was not a great thcoh - gian, and it is questionable if any ol his books, of which he left many volumes, will be of very great assist ance to the Bible student, but de spite this he has left a monument, the record of his own unselfish and useful life, that will endure as long as the English language is spoken. The thousands who were converted under his ministry will, while life lusts, bold his- name, in reverence, and hi- fame and work cannot .be confined to the narrow limits of his own d* nomination, hut must become the herbage of the church universal. The clarion voice of the great preacher is stilled in death, the tired hinds are now folded ncioss the great heart that has forever reared (0 IhHM. i.n i the eyes that over I (anted arc closed to earthly scenes, only to be opened amid the glories of Para dise; but the work that he wrought still survives, and the seed s i care fully sown, will grow and multiply j H*' " i^ 1 the plain and simple piv- and bring forth nob a hundred hut a; '<"> '»f I he gospel.

A great deal has been written on the evil of bad roads, and their great inconvcni *nce, hut very few really practical suggestions have ever been presented with a view to making them belter, and while we propose to say something in reference* to the matter ourselves, our main object i> to provoke discussion, trusting that some of the readers of Tin: IIkuai.h mav have some remedy to suggest that will make them better. Of course every one will admit that while many of our roads, because they are little used, keep in pretty fair order, and none of them ever be come absolutely impassable, there is great room for improvement, and that it is high time for some system atic effort to be made in this direc tion. A great deal has bem said in regard to the importance of macad amizing roads. covering them from six to ten inches deep with broken rock, but, as we have no rock, this plan cannot lie for a moment con sidered. Even if the rock were obtainable it would not answer on anything but clay, as it will not settle in sandy soil. The first step to take would be to employ a good engineer to prop erly locate the roads, and were this done a good step would be made in the right direction. Very often a slight deflection would obviate the necessity of going over a high hill or crossing a log. In the second place the roads ought to be thirty feet wide, and be carefully protected from the inroads of plows. In i)k third place perfect drainage should be secured as water is the great ene my (if good roads. Where there is loo much clay, sand *-111111111 he used so that the mixture will make a firm roadbed. The greatest, trouble of all is. how ever. the prevailing use of narrow rim wheels, and if those with wide tires were substituted the roads would be much less liable to be cut up in to ruts. It does not matter what the condition of the road may be, sandy or boggy, the wide wheeled vehicle is much easier to pull, aiftl can be safely carried over places where one with narrow tires would become hopelessly mired. There is no reason why all vehicles should, a.* is almost the universal custom. I t made on the same guage; on the con trary a very strong one why thev should not, because then it would In impossible for them to inn in tin same track, hence the cutting of deep ruts would be impossible. We invite discussion on this im portant subject, and would like h hear from some of our readers in reference to the matter. If any ou< feels disposed to dispute what we say in reference to wide rimmed wheels, we can easily convince him of his error. a crowd can always bej | depended upon l.i turn out when onej of tin 111 appears, bn* the average man i i> very fond of hearing his neighbor j abused, and this is especially the ease: when one of these rovingevangelists I puts in an appearance jtnd proceeds j to set everybody straight. Sinners j can listen with great miction when, j after tcliing what the Lord lias done for himself, lie unmasks, according luj bis own ideas, tli.* short comings of both preacher and people, and points out the only way by which they can escape condemnation. 'The minister, who by bis earnest and conscientious work has lead many to a better and truer life, whose life has been spent in aefs of charity and whose very presence, when trouble or death in vades the home, is a benediction, is the special target of his attack, and we are gravely told thai I in* man who has been the instrument of the .salva tion of others is, unless he meets tile requirements of the evangelist, him self in danger of being damned. Devout men and women, whose daily lives illustrate the beauty and power of religion, are held up to public scorn, simply became they do not see proper to parade, after the manner of a I’harisce, their piety be fore the world, and lift up their eyes to heaven and thank God that they are not as other men. While the in sidious and persistent attacks on religion, led by such m>-ii as Ingersoll, have uuqucstinmihlv made a large number of people skeptical, and in some cities and towns have been in strumental in reducing the congre gations, it. may be safely asserted that in the latter respect at least, the evangelist lias worked more evil than the open and avowed infidel. Once people conceive a liking for the sensational style, they are never af terward s.vtislicd with the sjiii|ih presentation of gospel truths. So far as personal observation goes this has been the ease in Darlington, and we do not hesitate to assert that the churches here would be better off if no evangelist had never visited the ; town. In the name of religion they make coarse, indelicate, ami often obscene remarks, and when they arc criticized, people, a great many of them ladies of culture and 'refinement, with ii fanaticism, difficult to understand, can be found who are ready to testi fy that nothing out of place was said. It was a truly unforiimate lay for I In* cause of religion when the sensational evangelist first madt ids appearance, and bright and bless- *d will be tin* time, if it ever comes when In* will be driven into retire ment, that is if charity, humility ami revereiiceare considered essential for one who aspire- to teach oihers how to live.
