hampered it since its first organization is can?

The Depot. \
Some weeks ago we published a letter con?
taining a complaint about the accommoda?
tions, or rather want of accommodations, for
passengers"*at the depot. Since that article
appeared we have beard complaints from, a
number of persons, al! of similar tenor to the j
letter from our correspondent ; and judging !
from so much fault-finding, the. depot at j
Sumter affords about the same comfort and !
conveniences to passengers as does the plat- j
form at Cain Savannah, or the stopping
places along the road, at the various lumber
yards.
Excepting the 9:45 special to-Columbia,
every passenger train passes Sumter at night,
aod it is a seri?os undertaking for old, infirm,
or delicate persons to take the train from our
town. "Whatever cannot be cured must be
endured," and if the V.7., C. and A. Road
and the people of "Sumter cannot afford more
comfortable arrangements, then we ought to
submit to the inevitable ; but if they can,
then it does seem as if an improvement should
be m*de.
But we are not of those who are disposed
to place- all the blame for whatever happens
wrong upon the road. In fact, we are not
sore the road ts at ail to blame in this matter..
Some years ago a comfortable room was fitted
tug, for the passengers, with the understand?
ing/if we'ar? not mistaken, that the town
should take charge of it. The town did not j
perform her part of the contraer aud we can- j
not very well criticise tte road for what we-i
ourselves haye failed to do.
" We need better. accommodations down
there, and we ought to have them. We be?
lieve that with proper efforts we can have
them.
An Ancient Relic.
' Mr. J. D. Wilder .handed us au old news?
paper published in 7775 at Newport, R. I.
The Srst advertisement that we noticed was
'one offering a reward of $4.00 for the return
of a runaway negro-strange literature for
Rhode Island. Seed merchants advertised
heavily-beans and peas 24 shillings per
quart, cab!?age 28 shillings per ounce, ?c.
The leading article is a vigorous protest
from a Mr. Young, an M. D.t doubtless,
against the charge of "racking people's con?
stitutions to pieces with enormous doses of J
mercury." "Dr:" Young believed in Calo?
mel. The paper contains the declaration of
war made by the Moors, that year, against
the Spaniards. It also contains several patri- '
otic articles, for the revolutionary caldron j
was then bubbling. The Charlestown, j
(Charleston) S. C. General Committee has
some resolutions io "which .it is resolved that
"We will, henceforth, have no trade, com- j
merce, dealings or intercourse with the said j
Colony of Georgia ; but will hold them as 1
unworthy of the rights of freemen and as in- I
imical to the liberties of their country" be- i
cause of the refusal ot Georgia tc join in the
"Continental Association."

The Marion Star, in its last issue, contained
the following paragr&ph :
"Four things the town of Marion should
do in 1885, viz : Organize a fire company,
build a cotton seed oil mill, build a first-class
academy, and subscribe $25,0^0 to a railroad
from this place to Little Rock."
We wonder if it would not pay for Sumter
to engage in some similar organisations? We
might improve our fire department, and we
have no doubt but that a cotton seed oil mill
would pay. If we don't need an academy
we are ignorant of the first principle of our
wants, and it is possible that a railroad would
be of benefit to Sumter, especially if it did
not combine with the one we now have.

Some. Opinions from a Carters
Crossing Farmer.
MANVILLE, S. C., Jan. 23, 18S5.
Mr. Editor: I see in your columns a good
j deal said of the Farmers' Club. 1 have been
i advocating its formation for some time ; I
j feel deeply interested io whatever concerns it,
and if lean say anything to aid or encourage,
it will be my pleasure to do so.
It seems thftt there are some difficulties in;
forming these organizations. Of course the
meetiog should first elect officers and adept
the necessary By Laws, which by the way
should be so framed as to enable the asso?
ciation to keep out unworthy members. We
want good, honest, energetic men to take
hold, and after we get together and organize
we will then soon be able to find out what
we want.
The farmers are greatly depressed. ' A3
the old saying goes, our nose is fast held to
the grindstone-* by the merchants who are
trying to keep it there, and if relief does not
come, we will soon have no nose left. The
merchant is anxious .for us to make good
crops, and pay them nearly, but not quite,
ail we owe. They don't want us to get quite '
out of debt, because if we did, we would
theo be free, and that would not Suit them at
all. The merchants are good io their place,
but they and .the lien law have made slaves
of most of the farmers.
And now I want to see if we cannot unite
upon some plan that, will enable us to get
from under bondage. Though the most of
usare in debt there is hope for us if we will
take the right direction, and the Farmers'
Ciub is one step in that way. So long as
we deal in country towns aud pay lien prices
we cannot expect any improvement.
If we can unite and make arrangements
with some good factor in Charleston or else?
where to buy our supplies by the quantity,
they would cost but little more than half
what they cost here. I think this could be
done through the medium of the Farmers'
Clubs. A committee could be appoin+ed
who *v>uld see after the purchases, the inci?
dental expenses of which if divided among
tte various parties would be but a trifle to
each. The goods could be shipped to each
party separately and it seems to me that
great advantage would accrue, from such a
plan.
I hope that every farmer in the County will
think over this matter and see if we cannot
make a change. We can be independent if ?
we will. It is' the farmer that keeps the
world moving, and let us see to it then that
we do our duty to ourselves and families.
POOR FARMER.
We give place to the above letter, though
differing materially from the writer in his
views. In the first place the Farmers' Club
is not so much to assist farmers in* hrtying
provisions as it is to encourage them in ma
king them. The desire is to make farming j
sufficiently profitable to enable farmers to
make their own bread and meat, and pay
cash for their groceries and clothing. And
then we think our correspondent is mistaken
in thinking that County merchants are more
unreasonable in their dealings than those in
large cities. Of one thing our friend may be
assured, if the farmers will bring the mer?
chants in Sumter hard cash for what they
wish to purchase there will be no occasion
for complaints as to prices. What our far?
mers roost need is the determination on their
part to make their bread and meat, (Piney
Woods Farmer will please excuse ns, ) and
such a cessation of the cry of hard times would
come to pass as to surprise the most corn
firmed optimists.
We earnestly pray for the success of the
Farmers' Association, because we believe it
will enable farmers to make two ears of corn
where they now make one; to raise four^
hogs where now a poor shote wanders around ;
to plant one acre of cotton where fout is
planted, and make more on that acre than on'
the other four; to raise sufficiency of whole-,
some fruit and make an abundance of milk
and butter to take the place of the fried bacon
and bread which go to makeup so large a
part of our table fare.
It is idle to say we can't do it. We can do
it if the trial is honestly made. It is done
elsewhere, some men do it here, then why not
all. Plant orchards-every man has time to
planta few trees every winter; keep one good
cow and feed her, and by all means make
bread and meat. The farmer who does that
will never have bis nose to the grindstone.
Information for Persons Desiring
to Join the Farmers' Association.
WEDGEFIELD, S. C., Jan. 24,. 1885.
Mr. Editor: In the Secretary's report of
the meeting the following sentence occurs :
"The Association starts out in life with, a
j roll of one hundred members and is to be
I called the Sumter Agricultural Association."
? was there when the meeting adjourned, and
j I have been told by others, and understood
j myself, that there were eighty (80) members
I enrolled. The Constitution says ; "All ap?
plications for membership shall jye made to
the Executive Committee, who shall decide
upon the same, and report to the next regu?
lar meeting for confirmation." I simply
wish to suggest to the Secretary that all
names not enrolled before the adoption of the
Constitution will be cut off, unless recom?
mended by the Executive Committee and
confirmed by the body ; and that they will
certainly be prevented from voling until reg?
ularly admitted.
I have written this, more especially, to let
outsiders know the proper way to become
members, and to avoid complications and
confusion, and perhaps hard feelings, at the
next meeting.
I I think the other clause of the sentence
I qupted above should read : "The Sumter
j Fut mers' Association."
He should have stated also that an annual
j due of one dollar is the only fee required for
membership.
I am glad to note that a great many farm?
ers df?ire to join the Association. Come in
brother farmers. Tell us of your successes
Kad failures, we will listen to your plain
statements and hope to profit by them. At
the snme time we cordially invite all good
men who have the advancement of agricul?
ture at heart to come in and co-operate with
ns. Let us elevate our calling to its God
j given place among the avocations of life.
