Ob how these men who are .-sucking the public teat begin to squeal wben they feel or fear they are about to r v lose their hold ! It is heart rending. Colone! Lipscomb bas been nursing his 'r*. wrath to keep it warm, and it ie certain ly ??ry hot, but it does not burn 'Moses' because he has only told the troth, and Col. Lipscomb must disprove the charges of incompetence, extravagance and inattention to duty made against V- the Board of Agriculture before he can injure *Moses* by flinging mud. I W'S. _ shill not ^descend into tho gutter and ? fight this doughty granger with his r chosen weapon. A negro can beat us both on that line, I prefer decency and courtesy, although I am accused of i 'outraging' botu. Colonel Lipscomb 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. - i- i ? Warn Another Cotton Picker. 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. He Skipped a Sale. '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 : 4 'Ah ! there, Sharp ! I want to sell you the best washing machine ever made.' 'It was the chnp who had driren up, and tay wife had sent him out to hunt nie up. ile was within ten feet of the stump when he called. I had a two minute fuse on the cartridge when I heard his voice and ? called buck : ' 'For Heaven's sake, got out o' that!' ' Oh, I'}! got out, after I have sold you a machine. Sharp, where are you V 'Well, sir, you can have my ears if that idiot didn't walk up and rest his elbows on The stump, and he was there when she exploded, l?e took a rise of six or c'.?ht feet, came down spread eagle fashion, and then scrambled up and made for his wagon with slivers sticking out all over him. When he j went by the house my vvifc asked him j if the machine saved ten per cent, in soap, but he never answered nor came to a halt. He just sabled over the fore wheel to his scat on tho wagon, gave ? the horses a cut with the whip, and wis j a mile away when I went out to the j road tu inquire if his machine was fal!- j jeweled.'-JJ ctr o it Free Preys.
