Bayard, and would vote for lira wi

Cleveland. We think he would mak<

taming Republicans out of office,
by turning the rascals oat. The
terms arc not synonymous, thou?
nearly so for there are here and the
creditable Republican oScials.

The United States Senate, by way
of diversion on the 4th, being unable
from press of business to take a holiday
bad the clerk to read aloud the Decla?
ration of Independence. We think the
idea was a good one, and if nothing else
bad been done during the day than to
listen to those words of wisdom and
conscientiously stcdy their true mean?
ing and intent, the time would have been
* * .
wisely spent. For instance there is
some little hint in the 'Declaration' that
governments should bc for tho benefit
of the governed, but that idea is obso?
lete, aud only the governors are now
considered, the dear people beiug fed
with a plum now and then to keep
them in a good humor. The official
ring at Washington is becoming each
year larger, more c?ntralized, more
overbearing and more utterly Useless,
and the 'Declaration' Was bealthy read?
ing for the miserable sinners.
PROHIBITION CANDIDATE.
We mentioned last week tbat Ex-Sen?
ator Pomeroy of Kansas had been nom?
inated by the Prohibition Convention
for President. It is a fact that he was
nominated but it was by a mongrel con?
vention that represented Woman Suf?
frage, Chinese and Indian Enfranchise?
ment, and a strong Anti-Masonic senti?
ment. The Prohibition Convention
will meet in Pittsburg, Pa., the 23rd
July, and ?ill nominate, in all proba?
bility a good man for office.
TEMPERANCE IN POLITICS.
Our Lynchburg correspondent wishes
to know if we cannot run a distinctive?
ly temperance, legislative ticket. We
think not, or at least we think it would
be imprudent to do so. lu South Car?
olina, with its large negro population,
the whites can not afford to divide on
even so important a question as tempe?
rance. A ticket nominated in the iu
! terest of temperance pure and simple,
if it received the support of all the tem?
perance workers throughout the State,
would still be defeated, and net only so,
but would bring defeat upon the Dem?
ocratic ticket, for the strength of she
temperance parly would bc drawn eu
! tire?y from the Democrats; and for thur i
. i
i reason we would not think it advisable j
to run a temperance ticket. I
Wc think, however, that it is tho |
dutyuf the people to vote for distinctively
temperance men for nomination to
office. A merchant would hardly
choose a drunken mau to take charge of j
1 his bocks or cash. Bank directors ?
would refuse to place the affairs of a j
bank into the hands of a man of dissi- j
pated habits, yet men who would not j
put their private business in the hands
of such have no hesit -.tien in working
and voting for them to take charge of
the business of the County. Leaving
out all moral considerations, we do not
think this is politic, but believe that |
moral and mental fitness should be cot
sidered as carefully in choosing County |
and State officials, as a merchant or
banker uses in selecting his clerks.
These views may seem old fashioned,
but, if carried out, would give us
good and capable officials.
SUNDAY.
We arc in receipt of a copy of thc
SoiCbath Sentinel, a most impartial
paper, published in thc interest of,
and in opposition to Sunday laws.
It fights both sides of thc question j
vigorously, and leaves its readers in a j
j most uncertain state of mind ou this !
j subject.
j Wc believe that both principle and
j polity would dictate the necessity of j
I diverting one day in seven from the f
routine of daily, avocations. Strictly j
as a hygienic measure, it has been as
j serted time aud again, by those whose
j opinions have beeu formed from actual
j experiment, that the physical and mcn
j tal mau is refrohed aud strengthened
j by this seventh day rest, and a pcrsis
j tent neglect to make .'ind follow such a
j rule weakens the mental powers and
I shortens life. Man's moral nature is \
j bcijciiltcd by a periodic and oft refurn
I ing withdrawal from the sharp competi
I tiona of daily life, whore tho temptations
to overreach others in daily business,
lie all around, and in this recess from
the cares and struggles of life, his
mind can rise to a nigher plane from
j which he can look open iris fellow man,
? not as a being whom he has thc right
j to' fleece and defraud, bul as a brother ?
i with rights and privileges similar to his j
j own.
Therefore looking at thc question
j from a purely utilitarian and worldly
! point of view, it pays to rest one day in
j seven.
j 'this rc.st would bc impracticable
j were each mau allowed lo choose his
j own peculiar day, and consequently
j that should bc fixed by the government
I and its observance made compulsory. !
? if 'the powers that bo' have thc right i
j to impose sanitary laws or ouatant!ne, j
i or any other of thu numerous plans that j
? have been set on foot for tho well-dorn g ?
? of society, surely it has thc right to en- j
j force a proper observance of Sunday ;
j as a day of rest, knowing that su.-h j
? observance conduces to both physical j
i and moral health. Tho claim of per- !
j sou al liberty, made by those who oppose i
i Sunday law*, amount? to nothing
j Meu need governors and govern- \
I meut and will co&tiuuc so to ero, till j
j the ui?f?enuiai dawn, and the observance i
of Sunday is a* legitimate a subject fur \
legislation as un y other mal tor pertinent j
to mufi's weil ?.ig.

WA SEIN GT ON LETTER.
[Trota oar Regular Correspondent."J
WASHINGTON, 1). C., July 5, ISSI.
Thc President sent to tho House of j
Representatives on Wednesday a mes- I
sago vetoing thc bill fer thc relief of
ritz John Porter, and that, body promt
ly rebuked the act by pus.sing thc unas- j
ure over tim President's objections.
The reading of the veto was received
with applause on the Republican side cf
the House, and will; l:i>ses on the
Democratic side. Speaker Carlisle an?
nounced that immediate action on thc
veto would bc in order. Gen Slocum,
who has warmly espoused the cause of
Porter, moved that thc bill Lc parsed
notwithstanding thc President's objec?
tions. Juder the Constitution a yea
and nay vote was necessary, which
resulted in 108 yeas to 78 nays. At
this announcement the Democrats did
tho eheering and the Republicans the
hissing. The President let': tile decis?
ion of this question to the .Members of
his Cabinet, stating at tito ti ist meet?
ing at which th'- matter was considered,
that, nut having made a very c:tofu!
inves^Jirii'ioii o! the ease, !i?r preferred
to follow their advice. Thc subject
was discussed at half duZ'^: meetings
.-onie of them informal, anti the lin:.!
vote was in favor o? a veto by five to
two. in the Senate thc bill failed to
pass over the President*:? objections.
Tiic iious.e will not yield an inch of
ground on the Naval appropriation bili,
and the choice presented to the Senate
is that of an ali summer session or ab?
solute surrender. The latter course
requiring tho least exertion, ii. wiii
doubtless be ndootcd.
Thc most bri Uta ni, Naval engage?
ment of the session took place i;j the
House this week. The debate was
opened by Mr. Ka udall who salo' the
Senate seemed to have a lurking hope,
which Ought to be either affirmed or
dismissed hy positive action on the part
of the House, that it would ultimately
recede from its disagreement to two ;
important amendments: 'l!r:'>e were

his happiest rind most impressive way.
bringing out. Iiis poiu?s clearly, auc
making thc vindication of thc Demo?
cratic side complete The Rep?b?cat
caodidate for Governor of Indiana, Slr
Calkin? undertook to reply, but devo?
ted his efforts maialy to a sort of skirm?
ishing intended to be productive o:
campaign capital. ?Ie referred to th(
prompt reparation which Great Britak
demanded for any injury done to ene ol
her subjects abroad, and contrasted il
with the conduct of the United State?
when one of her citizens had been mal?
treated. Mr. Randall said he did nol
believe thc dignity of thc American cit?
izen in any part, of the civilized world
had been seriously dealt with by nnj
nation. His experience that ivherevei
ah ?lin- ivan behaved himself ho wai
respected, and that the words -'"I am at
American"' were every where a safe?
guard.
After further sparring bctweer.
Messrs. Randall and Calkins in whicl
the Pennsylvanian came out ahead Mi*.
S. S. Cox took the floor to express h'u
regret that the Republicans had made
the increase cf the Navy part of a par?
tisan platform at Chicago, for he was
sure no American man of spirit objected
to the p-oper kind of a Navy beioi:
built at the present time.
Senator Conger thought he must
indulge in one of his old time harran^ue?
before adjournment, and so yester?
day he exhibited himself to the decoru?
Senate just as he used to appear whee
he was minority leader in the indeco?
rous House. In the course of hii
remarks he made some ill-manncrec
allusions to the State of New Jersey.
In reply Senator McPherson said he
would not follow that Senator's ariru
ment. To do so would dccrea?e hi:
own self respect and lose him th(
respect of thc Senate, which he wishec
to retain.
A large number of Democratic Sena?
tors left ou a special train this morning

gress not adjourn this evening thc

I Mr. Kiii'.:: My experience with rye cx
': tf-a !s over four years. Dec. ?.-t, I8R0, my
j father bad two bushel? rv i- ?<..-.-.-a na ?>:K- arte,
j manured with .".r> or -i?i bushels cotton seed:
I we \ii>'< t wo tine cullir.gs front il, and then

. idahted in cotton, u.'-i!-.:::;^ nearly as good as

! Mov? .! to this p!;:ce Jan. 1 ??d2, .:::?.( planted
! Some rye,J:tTi. lath, ii was a f;d;i:?,c: owing

?1.lilied one-half acre iii rye w here ! had just
j gathered l.r>(?0 lbs. :;eid cotton per acre,
j Manured it with seed from 1 l'aie ot' cotton,
April L''?t!'. ! eut ?lie rye on one-third acre.
; lt averaged seven feet high, and had lo be.
\ thrown from the eradle. Had it put up in
.?.mil!, steep pile? tia: next day, and hauled
up ihcafternbon ol'second day, getting^ two
horse hinds of cured forage June 1 Olli, cut
' one-twelfth aere for seed ; stalks were I'ruui
i 7 feet 7 inches lo S feet ! niches, tlu- latter
being tl;-: tallest thal I measured ; heads from
; G lo 8 inches long, and were so heavy that 1
' had lo cul it three feet from the ground.
'Threshed out one aa l tbree-fiuarter bushels
of clean rye from thc one-twelfth acre, or at
ra'c of 21 bushels per acre. I am satisfied
that enough was los' to make i! but 2:"? bush?
els per acre. The nari cul for lorage did not
du well afterward : it was tm> bite; ton d>iys
or loo weeks .carl ici would haw- given better
forage ?md ;:>c second cutting would bi?vc
inore than made the difference. The cutting
was delayed to get good weather for earing.
Made cotton at rate of 11 CT lbs. per acre
where the rye grew. It \v:<s planted June
2nd and 12th, that on 12th making the best
cotton. Aug. 20th, 1883 1 planted one
twentieth of cn acre on a square in garden.
From Jan. 20th this year to April 1st two
calves were tethered on this square, long
enough each Jay to keep them fat. The rye
then ran up about three feet and began bead?
ing when ? cut il down and fed green. Have
very tine cabbages lhere now.
Last Fal!, from Nov. 13th to Dec. Otb, I
planted three patches of rye. One of them
was grazed on by horses and cows until
April 1st and then yielded a ?cod c '.it ii rig
four feet high by May 5th, and on 20th May
planted in cotton, which now gives promise
of being fine-thc other was saved for
seed. It grew seven feet tall \viih gcud
heads, was cut June 12th, und I think will
thresh out six or sev'n bushels from one-half
acre. The lan? ?? plauted in corn and it is
looking" well. The third patch was grazed
Cn all of the time. I think tiie best way is
to select an old lot or other rich place, such
as can be found on every place ; broad cast
manure and seed together, plow in deeply
and drag over or harrow level. One bushel
of seed per acre has given the best results for
me, and 20 to GG bushels of cotton seed per
acre isa good fertilizer. I lind that wet
places will not do ; dry, well drained soil is
suitable. I do not claim that ibese ideas arc
all my own, su Hice it to say I have never seen
them in print before; and what I know lins
either come under my own observation or has
??cen told me by intelligent persons. I have
been prompted to write this letter by the
numerous letters from your correspondents
telling of the buying of Northern hay by
farmers in several c?dions of the couaty.
Some may laugh at my small experiment ;
but if these hay men had planted two or three
, acres in rye last fall, their stock as well as
! pockets would be in belter condition.
! I think lhat I have shown that lhere is no
j loss of the land, not counting the rye, for I
; have always made nearly as good crops after
! ward, and at much less cost for labor,
i I am farming for my mother : this is my
j fourth year, and we have never bought but
! 100 lbs. of hay and that was in 'S2 whee the
I rye was not ?danted in time on account of
: moving. Dut we sold that year 3000 lbs. of
j fodder at $1.50 per cwt., and brought with
i us 5500 lbs., which would have been enough.
' if the milch cows had not been fed on it fer
j awhile before the grasses came out. I sold
j 207 lbs. this year and had more to ?parc.

ed at Bisliopville by several of our farmers as
early as the 25th of June. There are several
fields of corn in the neighborhood, all of
which arc so fine that I am in doubt as to
which is the best. In passing by a field of
; considerable dimensions-owned and cultiv#>
: ted by Mr. W. R. Dixon-the appearance of
; the corn therein justified me in thinking lhat
j if be bad many such fields, be Would have lu
. puli down his bams and build larger ones,
. in order to bou;c it. A number of our farm
I ers bare planted corn after oats, all of which
i is up and luuking well.

j Mr. Eililor: In spite of the prophecies of

and presume will; many an ominous shake of

red ia ilse lifo of "old Noah ; while disaffect?

defeat of Arthur at the Chicago Convention.
But really this is rapidly becoming too seri?
ous to speak about facetiously, and unless the
iain ceases at once, we will be forced to
I change base like the Venetians, minus thc
pomp and circumstance of gondoliering.
I To the rain we are indebted for a tremen?

lunns and churttiiug faces of the nymphs, who,
on Thursday night, Ia.-t, gladdened and
beauiib'ed the elegant residence of Mr. A. V.
Sttauss, whose espacions und handsomely
furnished rooina, afforded ; splendid lichl of
encounter for the devotees of ibe "Maxy,"
aud ob ! that veranda'. ! could those quiet
columns ?peak, bow many a gallant speech
and tendei avowal could 'h-y narrate!
The music was furnished by two dusky
swains, whose horrttonions rendition of music
of a very high order (5'J cents per night ) was
largely instrumental in making the occasion
the Success it proved. Long after Father
Time had turned his mill night hour glass,
some envious wall-flower communicated the
hour tn ttic dancers, who reluctantly donned
thc innumerable pieces of toggery, that are
made for the environment of fair woman, and
departed ; out not before they had thanked
their Accomplished and indefatigable host for
the evening's delightful features, which nu?

We remarked some weeks ago, that our
town was about to become a centre ol' gaiety
and enjoyment, and tito prediction is coming

Privateer Items.
Mr. Editor: Fair weather at last, and
everybody feeling better.
We recently went up to Wedgefield and
saw the poorest crops that you could imagine.
From Brunsen Branch to within a mile of
Wedgefield, lhere is not a single clean crop,
nor many that look worth cleaning. Wc do
not mean to say there are no poor crops in
Privateer; but we believe weean show as
good crops as any part of the County, and
more in proportion to area.
Mr. Dargan Ostecn has the finest young
corn after oats that we ever saw ; planted
June 4th. lt is now waist high, a good
stand, very clean, and will make, with good
seasons. 40 bushels per acre.
He has thc greatest variety of pears, and
his trees are breaking down with fruit. They
ripen in succession hom June until October,
except about two weeks-the last of June and
first of July.
There was about 100 of the 167 members of
the Privateer Democratic Cub at the meeting
on Saturday. Several ex-Greenbackers offi?
ciated with the club, and four or five negroes
joined. The club voted CO for primary
nominations and ZZ for convention ; for solici?
tor, Moise 50 and Beard 46. Three cr four
preferred Giliand but abstained from voting
as they could not poll sufficient strength to
elect a Giliand delegate. We think that ii
they had electioneered for him as systemati?
cally as the other parties did for their candi?
dates, he would have gotten two or three of
the 8 delegates that thc club sent.
Your correspondent of last week did not
know what he was writing about, when he
said politics are quiet ; the supporters of
Messrs. Beard and Moise were actively can?
vassing thc township. But we must not
trespass on your patience ?nv longer, and
will leave that thing for the Secretare to re?
port. SPECTATOR.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
Mr. Editor: Permit me. in behalf of tho
Methodist Church of Sumter, through your
journal; to convey our sincere thanks to Col.
Joseph ii. Earle for thc handsome donation
of valuable real estate through Dr. A. J.
China, and to Mr. Wm. H. Cuttino for his
liberal cash donation of $50.00 paid to me,
to aid in the erection of a new Methodist
Church in the town of Sumter.
Tiie liberality of these eminent members of
the Baptist Church of Sumter is indeed duly
appreciated. May God bless and prosper
them. Von rs frateraallv,

It is well known that the few persons who
have been so blatant about '"thc action cf the
Senator from Sumter/' are my personal ene?
mies who would take no interest in the mat?
ter if it were not for their eagerness to vent
their spleen against me. Believing that tins
is their sole motive, I would suggest that
they might adopt a more manly course.
My friends;(and I am proud to say their
name, is legion, ) and all oilier reasonable and
disinterested persons, are satisfied that I have
endeavored to do my duty. They need no
explanation i:: reference to any of my actions
as Senator ; my enemies shall have none.
The last Cd tin ty Convention was the prop?
er body to ca I i upon rae for such explanation
if any were required. No such demand er
request was made, although all of the dele?
gates knew that I was ready to respond.
It will always afford me pleasure to answer
any question in reference to the matter that
may i>e submitted to me lu person by any of
my constituents. Independents, G reen back?
ers and those Democrats who refrained front
voling at the last general election, need not
apply. JCS. LL EMILE.
