V- the Board of Agriculture before he can
injure *Moses* by flinging mud. I
W'S. _ shill not ^descend into tho gutter and

I must prove these charges ere they will
I harm me. 1 have been severe but par?
liamentary, and have always attacked
the oficial acts of men and not the men
themselves; and although my words
were thus interpreted by many, I have
never said anything about the State
officers except the Agricultural Bureau
and their administration of their trusts.
They are not the 'ring' to which I al
luded but may, and doubtless do, form
a part of it, anti Col. Lipscomb's ready
anger at the mere suggestion of such a
thing makes one suspect that his con?
science accuses bins. 'The wicked flee
wben no man pursueth, but the right?
eous is bold as a lion.'
I voted for Col. Lipscomb for Secre?
tary of State ra the State convention of
1S82, and have never denied that his
motives are pure. But the possession
of office has strangely emasculated and
,sHenced the sturdy advocate who was
wont to make the welkin ring while be
depicted the wrongs and abuses heaped
on farmers. He spoke for my resolu?
tions at BennettsviHe, but it was with
bated breath and in general terms. He
was mild, very mild ; and while I have
written nothing since which was as
"severe as that speech, no farmer enjoyed
it mere or complimented it so highly as
be did. Let him deny this i? he can,
and explain why he has since changed
front. I said little there about the
Board of Agriculture and only sought
to enlarge it and increase its usefulness.
That is what I propose now, and my
efforts are not bent towards 'pulling
down and. destroying everything and
everybody/&c., but towards building
up, encouraging and protecting our
agricultural interests. We want a real
agricultural college. We want a large
and representative board of agriculture,
composed of live, progressive farmers.
We want farmers' institutes to teach
our-people how to 'do better, and increase
the general prosperity. We want fewer
laws and better ones ; we want a gov*
ernment of the people, by the people,
and for the people ; and as the people
are, by a large majority farmers, farm?
ers have a right, and it is their duty to
govern the State, and 'if this be treason
make the: most-of it.' Such a govern?
ment does not by any means imply that
only farmers oughs to hold office or
that other classes are to be excluded
altogether or imposed upon. Only a
dreamer or idiot could imagine such a
thing, and only a narrow minded, sel?
fish bigot would want it. The assump?
tion that this movement has any such
object is entirely gratuitous and only
emanates from those who seek to bam?
boozle farmers and obscure the real
issue. 'Divide to conquer' has ever
been the tactics cf OUT enemies, and the
same old dodge is being tried now. It
may succeed, but I hope for better
things.
Col. Lipscomb felt obliged to ac?
knowledge that a farmers' convention is
a right and proper thing and advocates
it, bot he objects to it because he did
not suggest it and cannot 'boss it,' aud
is silly enough to say it wil.l be called
and controlled, appointed and organized
by Mr. B. R. Tillman. He does me
too much honor. I have called the
convention in common with those who
endorsed the idea and sent me their
names. It will assemble and choose its
own officers and will, I trust, result in
great good to the State and entire peo?
ple. ? will endeavor to get it to adopt
some measures which I deem highly im?
portant to our welfare as farmers; only
this and nothing .more^. and the idea
that it will be composed of puppets to
be 'bossed' by anybody will, I thfnk, be
only too clearly disproven wheu it as?
sembles.
It will be no joint summer meeting
cf politicians to 'make a slate.' There
will be no 'free passes/ and lacking
these two familiar features, perhaps
Colonel Lipscomb doe3 well to turn his j
back on us. 'Tis a pity, but I suppose
wc common people must perforce do.
without him. Let the farmers^^of-this?
State see that good and true men, not
politicians or office seekers, are sent to
this convention and it will mark an
epoch in the history of South Carolina.
If any county can find a better man
whp-is not a farmer than it can among:
farmers, by all means let the farmers of
Ih&t county send bim. We want the
brains and patriotism and honesty of
the State to come together and take
charge of it. B. R. TILLMAN.
The Cotton Harvester.
In the Southern Bivouac for April
is an extended description of the
Cotton-picker or Harvester, accompa?
nied by numerous illustrations, which
concludes as follows :
The machine is absolutely harmless
to the plant. No matter in what state
or condition the plant is in, or at what
season the harvester is run over a row,
no damage will follow. The writer
saw Mr. Mason break the sterns of
over a dozen burrs on a thickly-clus?
tered stalk until they were hanging
by the finest filament, and after the
picker stems had passed through not !
one was torn off. li seline almost
miraculous that this could be, as they
were attached by such a slight fiber, i
A darky, bungling into that bush i
with his fingers, couldn't have helped j
tearing off half of them. Had the j
burrs contained lint tho ligament i
would have given way, of course, and
the burr would have been jerked from
its broken stem. But the machine
has never been known of itself to
break a boll or a bloom in the field.
Wet or dry it does its work. I have
seen cotton picked hy it in such a
wet ar;d soaked condition that when !
allowed to dry naturally in the sacks,
it became as hard and caked as plas
ter of paris.
It has yet its defects, of course, j
and it is far from the object of this j
article to conceal them. The first is, !
that as at present constructed it can
not work in cotton over five feet high.
That can be easily overcome by mak?
ing different sizes of the machines
adapted to ordinary and to rauk j
growths. Niue tenths of tho cotton,
however, now grown in the South can
be harvested with the present size.
Again, the machine sometimes '?
drops ? little cotton from the picker j
stems before they enter the box.
Also the cotton, as it passes up on I
the elevators to enter the sack, is !
blown off on windy days. This can j
readily be prevented by covers, which i
have never been put on except for the
purpose of experiment, because Mr.
Mason did not want any part of the
interior workings cf the machine hid?
den from view while he was studying
and improving it.
a ai
? ?
In the fourth place, a boll is occa?
sionally passed over and left ungath
ered. This occurs seldom, and prac?
tically is of little consequence, two
trips generally cleaning a row thor?
oughly. When a boll is accidently
left it will be gathered at the next
picking, for the planter can run over
his crop so rapidly and so often that
a boll left here and there is of slight
importance. This frequent harvest?
ing must also necessarily result in a
better grade of cotton, as the fields can
always be kept clean in advance of a
rain.
Finally the harvester sometimes
fails to gather the lowest bolls when
flat on the grouud iu the dirt. That is
difficult to remedy without introduc?
ing complications which would seri?
ously interfere with the working of
the other parts of the machine.
But Mr. Mason is hard at work
remedying, as rapidly as possible,
these defects as they present them?
selves, and is confident of bringing
the harvester's present capacity of
two thousand pounds of seed cotton
up to double that amount or three
bales per day, aud of reducing the cost
of picking to less than onedollar a bale.
And all this by one man and mulej!
lt is impossible for the syndicate
to place the harvester on the market
in time for the next crop, as Mr.
! Mason will himself be compelled to
wait until fall to test the changes he
has now in progress. They are in no
hurry and do hesitate to say that the
machine will never be sold until its
present defects are effectually over?
come, be that time when it may.
But as these defects are trifling, and
as even with them the harvester does
excellent service, it is fair to conclude
that Mr. Mason, having already ac?
complished the most difficult portion
of his work, will not be long in pre?
senting the public with a machine
perfect in all its parts. When that
time does come, the present declara?
tion of the syndicate will be the best
guarantee of the machine's actual efii
ciency.
Its cost has not yet been fully de?
termined, and it is not known in ex?
actly what shape it will be finally put
upon the market. Mr. Mason states,
however, that the price will at first
probably be about equal to that asked
for a substantial reaper or twine bin- j
der-perhaps less-say from two hun?
dred to two hundred and fifty dollars.
That will put them within easy reach
of any one making twenty bales or
upward.
The province of this article does
not extend to the effect of the intro?
duction of the cotton-harvester upon
the industries of the South. Its de?
scription and history were all that was
compassed in the scope of these pages,
But, if, by its assistance, into the
gloom and darkness enshrouding the
Southern fanner of to-day, and in
which he patiently gropes and toils
from month to month and from year
to year, one slender ray of hope, one
feeble glimmer of the broad daylight
beyond shall penetrate, bringing pre?
sent cheer and solace, and the prom-.
ise of uubounded possibilities for the
future, and his load for a time be
lightened, and "the cares that infest
the day" be even temporarily put
aside, this paper will have accom?
plished its mission, and its reward be
ample indeed.

What the United States Cotton
Harvester Company Propose Do
liig in the South.
jNeze York World.
The problem of picking cotton in the
field has at last been solved, and daring
the coming season a number of machines
which are now being manufactured un?
der the patents of Mr. G. T. Begg and
owned by the United States Cotton Har?
vester Company, whose office is in the
Cotton Exchange,' will be in active
operation. - The exhibition which was
recently given on the floor of the Ex?
change under very great disadvan?
tages demonstrated that the- machine
would do the work it is intended for.
Since that time work has been begun
on the new and improved machines,
and ifc is safe to say when they are com?
pleted they will pick fully 80 per cent,
of the-cotton in the field, once going
over. There are also in coarse pf man?
ufacture small machines for planters
who have only a limited tfumbcr of
acres under cultivation.

'About four weeks ago,' said a farmer
in the market the other day, 'I conr
eluded to get rid of several old stumps
near the barn, and I came in and pur?
chased some giant cartridges. Next
day forenoon I went at the job, and had
just got a cartridge tamped down in the
first stump when I saw a man drive up
to the house. That was nothing to
bother over, however, and I lighted the
fuse and ran around the barn to wait
the explosion. I had only got in place
when I heard a voice calling :

you the best washing machine ever
made.'
'It was the chnp who had driren up,
and tay wife had sent him out to hunt

stump when he called. I had a two
minute fuse on the cartridge when I
heard his voice and ? called buck :
