3Bva That Afflicts the "Garnet
- Cock" County-Gambling Dens
: the Ruin of the Young Men.
_ (From. Our Resident Correspondent.)
S?XTKR, November 21.-Considerable ca?
riosity was excited on the streets a day or
two ago by the circulation of the rumor that
several men had been arrested and fined for
parabling. There seems to be a general .de?
sire that the names of the parties involved
should be kept from the public as mach as
possible^. There is oo doubt of the fact that
there is a3 ranch if not more gambling done in
thia to wo than any other place of Its size io
the State. . Snmter is fast becoming a stand?
ing resort for "professional gamblers, regalar
"fakus,71" *ho flock here with the hope of
beiog. able to fleece .the yoong mea-of the
town, but we regret to say that these 3arae
yoong meo are 30 far initiated- into the mys?
teries of tbe gambling table that tbe sports do
not get. mach oat of them. We hare ~a tem?
perance paper published here, and also a fin?
lodpe ; these pe ?pie are con?ually fighting
the liquor traffic, and cursing the bjgh license
law, bat we have oot heard a single voice
raised against this terrible and growing evil
of gambling. They "seem to be so mach in?
terested tn the prohibition movement that
they have no time to see that oar yoong mea,
and eren oar bovs, are being drawn into these
traps and, perhaps, ru Hied for life: Sumter is
alive with gamblers ; from- all we ean learn,
everybody here gambles; it ia, zub rosa, s pop?
ular thing; oar merchants, 00 r professional
men and even our public officers are as deep
ioto it as any one, and the evH: ls becoming
a public nuisance; and still these men who
pretend to be such great reformers are willing
to stand by and see the work of rain go oa,
and seem to hare no care, for anything sare
that our young men do not drink. It is high
aime that a crusade were being waged against
gambling in our town, and if. oar Christian
people and temperance people do not want
our town to become famous for this evil, t hey
most wake op. The gambling hells are roo
night aod day right here under their noses,
and they are so bliod, and weare constrained
to say willfully blind,'that they cannot see it.
Oar police are not doing their duty in this
respect ; they know where these gatnbliog
places are ; they know that they are open all
the time, and still they hare not the pluck ta
make a raid on them and bring the law?
breakers publicly to jastice. We teel con?
strained, to say there is something rotten io
Sumter.
Tbe above letter has caused some ex?
citement in oar town, and we must con?
fess to great surprise at such a sweeping
charge. Very possibly there is a gam?
bling hell in Sumter-towns which in?
dulge in the luxury of liquor shops in?
variably have these little side shows
and very possibly some of oar young
men'are raining their, lives and wreck?
ing their fortunes by frequenting these
dens, bot we deny emphatically the
charge as made by the iV. and C. cor?
respondent. We deny the intimation
that the temperar.ee people and the
Christian people wink at this vice. Thc
assertion that they are so "wilfully blind
that they cannot sec," that "gambling
hells are ran night and day right here
ander their noses" is a bald slander
apon the good people of the town. The
charge that "everybody gambles*' is
puerile, and the attack made upon the
police for cowardice, opon oor officials,
opon the professional aod business men,
is wonderfully unjust. We don't claim
to be angels; some of us do that which
we should not do, an official may some?
times forget the responsibilities. of his
office, a professional may at times in?
dulge io pleasures not befitting the dig?
nity of his position, and even abusiness j
mao may occasionally fall, hut to the
charge that we are a town of swindiiog
gamblers we plead "not guilty."
The letter, leaving out the question
of veracity, was very inopportune, for
if believed, it would place our town iu?>!
most unfortunate, position i and hence j
we regret its publication and deny its
correctness.

The Farmers' Meeting.
SATURDAY, NOV. 21, 1885
The last regalar meeting of the Sumter J
rlcultural Association for this year was h<
to-day in Music Hall, with the President, I
Forman, in the chair. Between forty a
fifty representative farmers were in atter
ance, with two or three from Clarendon.
. After a ?hort time speut in finishing np c
business, the main feature of the day-repo
on Tarions subjects-was entered upon. I

Sumter and Clarendon Counties ought to
have heard bira. Mr. DesChamps has made
a success of farming on a home-made basis,
and bis methods are worthy of careful study.
The next report was by Mr. Peter Mellett
on
COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS.
He asserted that commercial fertilizers by
themselves do not pay, but that they are val.
nable adjuncts and do pay under proper con?
ditions.
He advocated a three year rotation. Say
30 acres to the plow ; 20 in cotton, 5 in corn
and peas, 5 in bats, and peas. This gives 10
acres of the cotton after peas every year. He
considers thai this is the cheapest and most
effective way of supplying humus, without
which commercial fertilizers will not pay.
He furnishes bis peas witb phosphoric acid,
this canses a rank growth, and aside from
the improved mechanical condition of the land
the peas accumulate and store up available
nitrogen which, we all know to our hurt, is
very costly when bought as ~ manipulated
unmoniated fertilize**. Then too it is evenly
distributee over the land without labor or
cost. For cotton on land treated this tray he
applies 20 bushels cotton seed per acre, in the
laying off furrow, with 200 lbs. acid phos?
phate; if more than 200 lbs. is used. be pre?
fers to broadcast, for then it reaches more of
the particles of {?avin?s, and can thus have a
better effect/
Mr. ll el lett aims to reach the same result
with peaviues that Mr. DesCbarrps does with
home-made manure, i e, to fill the land with
humus, and available plant food. At Wedge?
field, owing to the difficulty of obtaining a
sufficiency of leaves, etc., and the distance to
haul the same, and afterward of the immense
quantity of lot manure to be handled, the
peuvine plan seems to be the better. In other
localities home-made manure (in the sense
used above, for both are home-made) may be
the better way ; while in other localities
either may be made to supplement the other
to advantage.
Mr. F. E. Thomas of Wedgefield reported
on
COTTON CULTURE.
Hi? plan is to break land flush with two*
horse plows early as possible *(he has begun
already,) trying each year to go a little deeper
than previously. When this is finished he
lays off rows, and breaks to them as far as he
has time, believing that the more work that is
done before planting the better. Then
crushes bis cotton seed and pots them io the
furrows, being careful uot to crush much
faster than he can use, for they detcrioate
rapidly after crushing it put in bulk. On the
cotton seed, puts all the home-made manure
available, then sows from 20J to 250 pounds
acid phosphate per acre on the seed, &c. If
potash is used, sows kainit broadcast.
"Amount cotton seed used?" "All lean
get." On tho he lists with two furrows of a
long huH-tongue. Before planting runs a
two-inch bull-tongue in thc ridge io mix the
manure. When time to plant, puts two fur?
rows with a turning-plow, making a flat bed.
Plan's while this is fresh. "How do you
cultivate?"' "That depends on seasons

Capt. A'kns has brush piled on a plot and

and one-half feet. The cornets of the checks
are drawn up with hoes, and an impression
made where the piant is to tie. These are
transplanted like cabbage plants whenever
seasons suit, until June 15th. The tobacco is
cultivated just enough to keep down grass
and weeds until il is fourteen leaves high.
It is now topped and the under-leaves taken
off. The latter part of July and first of
August it has to be gone over twice a week
and wormed. When ripe the stalk is split
nearly to the bottom, it is then cut off and
hung on a stick ; it is dried iu the sun a day
or two, never letting it get wet, then put np
io a barn so that the air. circulates readily
through if. W^ben the stems are dry it is
cured, aud must'be handled only in damp
weather.
Capt. Atkins showed samples of last year'*
crop, aud samples of tobacco grown on Dr.
Furman's plantation in 1865, which is said
to be very fine for smoking. This year he
made 8C0 lbs. per Acre, and thinks his net
profit will be five-cents per lb. or $40 per
acre. ? ,
.Capt. J. E. Burnes of Privateer, a veteran
North Carolina tobacconist wa<: asked to tell
of the processes necessary for successfully
CURING TOBACCO.
He said the samplet shown were as goodes
air cured tobacco of North Capelina and Vir
gin'm. That if it bad been fine cured its value
would be more tbun doubled or in other
words it would bring abbot $40 per cwt.
He said that most of ocr ianda are well suited
to tobacco culture.' He said the money in
tobacco was iu proper cu ri og.
Mr. H. R. Thomas of Wedgefield made an
entertaining report on
STOCK RAISING.
He said if he were a Yaokee machi oe agent,
he would tell them that he bad a machine
that needed neither engineer nor fireman.

Col. J. H. Wilson wished to know of Mr.

cotton seed were returned to the cotton ? Mr.
DeScharops said that he made his corn furnish
raanore for itself io this way : "I nerer
bought corn bot once, that was when I first
began ; since the first year I bare always had
coro to sell ; and sell it for cotton seed ; this
is why ? object to the oil mills; they are
breaking in on me."
Col. Dargan asked the farmers to iodulge
him for a few minnies while be urged npoo
them the importance of coming to a Free
Trade meeting on Salesday in December.
He also spoke of another subject that the
farmers ought to discuss, viz : Theagitation
for the establishment of an Agricultural Col?
lege, pore and simple, that will be forced
upon the coming Legislature.
All the business baring been finished the
meeting now adjourned.
This meeting scored a big success for the
association; and I confidently predictafuller
attendance at the future meetings.
There was no attempt at oratory. The
gentlemen who addressed the meeting talked
business-like commonsense, in a plain, practi?
cal way that all could understand. Many of
their answers were heartily applauded.
It was rery gratifying to note the harmo?
niously united feeling that pervaded the meet?
ing. This report has been hastily made from
memory and if any errors appear, it is boped
that they will be corrected. E. W. D.
Experiment with Prepared Cotton
Seed.
Mr. Editor: Experiments with cotton seed
cleaned with Sulphuric acid, were conducted
with a riew to determine the economy of their
use in planting.
To ascertain this, sections of rows were
drilled.and spaced at various distances,'and
calculations made for an acre, 60x39, result?
ing in the cont iction that to drill an acre one
bushel was enough, and that one half bushel
and eren one peck could be safely used io
spacing at the osual distances allowed be?
tween plants in the row.
Just here the question may be asked, What
is a bushel of cotton seed? Auswer, The
standard weight, 32 pounds.
Now at the gin house, say this 32 lbs. con?
tains 140,000 seed, a number which will come
near to correctness.
An acre 60x30 laid off in 4 feet rows con?
tain 11,400 feet o.f row, which into 140,000
seed will gire a product of 12, and a fraction
?w of seed to tbe foot, or on? seed to erery
incl? cf space. But the unprepared seed can?
not be jf?*enly distributed. Treat them with
Sulphuric a*?id and one bushel of cleaned seed
could be eveujy drilled, and sufficient to in?
sure a stand.
In spaces of 1 fou'. H feet, 2 feet and 3 feet,
one-half and eren ont-f?arlb of a bushel may
do, as the following will show :
Number Seeths to each space.
Wheo the seed are cleaned there will !><?
some loss of weight, and the bushel of 32 lbs.
will contain more ?eed than giren here.
No tests were made as to germination.
The tests madest the S. C. College, and pub?
lished in a recent issue, tallies with general
observation as to the germination of seeds.
It may be impracticable for farmers to cse
Sulphuric acid-at aoy rate, it, is suggestire,
and may induce nicer methods in farming.
An old negro some years ago employed to
"roll" some badly-ginned seed, suggested
that they be ''swinged off," which was tried
and found practicable on a small scale. Re?
pining the seed, which takes but little time,
frees them from much lint. This could be
done on the old horse-power gins, but the fast
running steam gins of the present day won't
keep the "rcll." Judging from limited ob
serrations, the "Masons' Gin Cylinder" will
keep the roll at any gage of feed, and a roll
of seed, which is harder to maia tain than a
roll of colton.
Either of the shore processes as a prelim
ioary to the use of Sulphuric acid would re?
duce the cost, aod at some future time I may
be able to show the comparative cost of this
new method, and the methods usually prac?
ticed in preparing seed for planting.

PROVIDENCE, S. C., Nov. ll, 1885.
Mr. Editor: Since crops are harrested labor
has become rery cheap. Hands are plentiful
at almost any price. I noticed in your last
issue au upward tendency in the cotton mar?
ket. If it should rise to a dollar per pound
it would not benefit the generality of farmers,
but would rather injure them, for groceries,
etc., would also adrauce. . The oat crop is
looking fine ; there is a good stand in most
instances. Some farmers bare planted wheat
while others are speaking of going into tbe
tobacco culture another year. Hog raising is
also growing io furor sod one would think
the "good old hog-killing times" we only
read about are coming back.

everything is quiet and serene on Rafting
Creek. The farmers aft busy ploughing in
oats. Judging from the demand made for
seed the crop will be the largest ever planted.
It is very strange that nine-tenths of the
farmers will admit that oats are the cheapest
and best crop that can be made, but yet how
few Tiake enough for their own consumption.
The corn crop was very fine throughout
this section of the county. Most every one
say they have made enough to do them, but
we will watch the depot next Summer and see
wbo bas and who has not.
At one time the outlook for a large cotton
crop was so encouraging that actually some
of our young and progressive planters got to
seriously discussing tbe question as to bow
they would ever gather it. But the August
drouth so injured this crop that oot more
than two-thirds of an average yield will be
realized. The crop will uot be as large as it
was last year.
Mr. W. M. Lenoir is buying any quantity
of cotton seed for the Charleston and Colum?
bia Oil Manufacturing Companies. Be ex?
pects to buy about twenty car-loads before
the season is over. All the sellers argue that
it is cheaper to sell the seed and buy guano
next Spring. It might be if the money was
immediately invested in that commodity or
pot where it would be out of harm?* way, bnt
I am afraid a great many who are selling will
buy their guano on time next Spring-their
seed all gone and tbe money scattered, as it
were, to the four corners of the earth.
A colored preacher was indicted before
Trial Justice I. N. Lenoir a few weeks ago for
stealing. When the indictment was read to
him he promptly acklowledged his guilt;
tbrvw himself upon the mercy of the Court
and was so penitent that the prosecutor inter?
ceded in his behalf and the matter was com?
promised. When brought up before his
Church he denied bis guilt, and so impressed
the ''shining lights" with his sincerity, that
they refused to take any action in the matter,
so be is still a full fledged member, and draws
as large congregations as ever before.
Rafting Creek sent her full quota of visitors
to the State Fair.
The fourth Quarterly Conference of tbe
Wedgefield Circuit was held at Bethesda
Chorch last Friday and Saturday. Rev. A.
J. Stokes, the popular Presiding Elder, was in
attendance. On Sunday the Rev. 0. A.
Darby, the distinguished President of the
Columbia Female College, preached an
eloquent and impressive sermon to a large
and appreciative congregation. Be also
preached SundAy night. Dr. Darby during
his brief visit to our midst made a host of
friends who will rejoice to welcome bim
among them again.
Capt. Leslie Bruce, business manage: of
The Turf, Field and Farm of New York and
ilr. Brittain, of the same city, have been on a
visit to Mr. W L. Sanders. Hunting "was
the order of the day and a great many birds
were bagged.
Mr. Man i ga ult James, of Darlington, but a
Rafting Creeker to the manor born, is on a
visit to his father. SIMOKT PURE.
