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.

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

tONTERMVh ROADS.
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.
