The light pleads are scalded ?ad burned np, and the bo t ; .toms are drowned or washed away in ? great i many plaees. Grass still lives in all its glory. With wafer and grass vs. brain and bad work, ia which contest the former baa -conquered, the crops as compared with last year, will not average more than fcalf as good, lt seems ted to believe, yet it ie a fact tba* dusr has .et risen behind a hoe or plow for six weeks, and this in the Summer, too. Some people are through laying-by. Others have quit, while some are going to work very late. How oar people, nader the existing state of affairs, caa lire oa, pay debts and con tribu te to the many objects that money is always : called for, is a problem this scribe cannot solve. .

About a month ago I put a big bunch of grass on a solid stamp, and it still lives in good condition, all seeded ont. Not a gill of dirt, was on the bunch. How is that for.tenacity of lire? In? stead of cottoa being king, grass is king. Our farmers seem to be disgusted with cotton planting, and no wonder, for it is the worst master in the world.. .With a few sporadic cases, our neighbor? hood bat escaped the scourge of dysentery so far.

"Piney Woods Farmer" has treated us to a long letter. From it I infer that he is a read? er of the ?Tetes and Courier. Peaches and watermelons are a failure. Rev. D. C.

I have the pleasure of bearing bim occasionally, and the more I hear bim the more I am convinced of the earnestness bf this man in trying to get others to follow a better life. Qui VIVE. Milk Shakes and Soda Water, at 5 cents per glass at J. A. Schwerin'!. Bisbopville Items. ? BiSHOPVttLB, S. C., Joly 24, 1886. Mr. Editor: On Saturday the, 17th instant, the farmers of Bishop vii le met and organized a farmers' club. H. A. James was elected President, Samuel Bradley, Vice President, W. A. James, Jr., Secretary, and J. L. Par rott, Treasurer. It was organized strictly on au agricultural basis, and without distinction as to men of other professions and callings. We won't take any politics lo ours except in? cidentally. We don't propose to go into the coming political campaign armed with hoes and barrows. Politics and plows won't har? monize. Hut we intend to fight onr political battles within the ranks of the Democratic or? ganizion which is the proper and legitimate sphere of all political action. Nine-tenths of the members of all the Democratic clubs io the County^except one, are farmers, and the neeessitr does not exist for os to organize po? litical farmers' clubs and th us Usurp the fa no? tions of the Democratic clubs. We baye from time to time been bearing vari?os reports concerning the progress of our Bisbopville R. "R. Sometimes-the report would come up that she had pot on a big head of steam and had struck oat for Bishop ville at the rate of a half mile a week. Then we would hear that she had shutdown brakes and come to a stand still ; and it was even said by some evil minded person that she bad turned around and was going back t'other way, botf we considered that as only sensa? tional." Now we have the facts in the catt' \ and can speak whereof we know. Capt. At- . kins has been np here looking out for an elt gjblejocation for a depot,, .and reports hit Railroad within six miles of this place and "promises to drive the last spike by the last of.

Visitors to the Citadel Commencement re? port the convention of "Ze Geotfe Game Cocks'' as the biggest thing- of the season iu tbe eyes of the Charl estonian s. What in the world are tho Tlllmanites so rampant about a girls tchool for? In my opinion it? "gush," pure ar.d simple. Tbe facilities for the education of tbe girls of the State are far superior to those for taeboys. And if it ?3 proposed to make a beneficiary concern of it, where is tbe con? sistency in opposing 'che Citadel and College to establish another class school on their ruins? I-join issue with anyone who says tbe giris need a trainiog school ; in every home there >? ample opportunity for them to be trained in domestic duties if their mothers desire to give it to them. And not a mother rn Sooth Carolina, who ?E able to send ber daughters to school, and numbers who are n*jt able, but is fully competent to train them iu household duties. If the leaders of the Tillman move attempt to "sit down" upon everything but their pet schemes, they will be as unmercifully sat down upon as was Sum? ter^ *'organizer" in the last Convention. I heartily endorse a "farmers' move" as we thought it was intended to be conducted, but rn all such "claptrap and humbuggery" we take no stock. The Convention did not op? pose the "farmers move," but the men who took the convention by the horns and tried to pitch it over the fence were gored. DEW. - ? i ---- Base Ball. Another game was played between the Ker sha w's, of Camden, and the Gamecocks, of Sumter, at Sander's Turnout on last Friday. The Ker? shaw'* scored a victory, making 17 to 15 for the Gamecocks. Tbe colored club from Camden called tbe Boston Tigers, played against the Carolinas in Charleston on tbe 21st, inst, and made a score of 14 against 6 for the Carolinas. It is probable that a match game will he played on next Friday afternoon between a nine made op from among the merchants of Camden and another nine from among the lawyers and the other professions. Mach fun ia antici ~ .^Camden Journal. ' \ " > , Beply to Piney Wood* Farmer. WBDGKFIBLI?, July 24, 1886. Kr. Editor: "Piney Woods' Farmer,' ' in yonr issne of July 20tb, writes, "why should we farmers organize, who is hurting ns, and who is trampling on our rights, ftc." We should organize to discuss and find out the needs and wants of the farmer and endeavor to get such legislation as will foster and en? courage the farming interest, just ss it does the mercantile business and the learned pro? fessions. If we are organized we can get leg? islation tn the interest of the taxpayer, which is not now the case. To encourage manufactures a law waa passed exempting them from taxation for ten years. To encourage lawyers they are ex? empt from taxation, set up as a privileged class, protected by exorbitant fee bills, and the State appropriates $40,000 for two liter? ary institutions at which these gentlemen can getan education-$30,000 of this tax comes out of the farmer. To encourage doctors they are also exempt from taxation, likewise made a privileged class and protected by fee bills which were made long before the war when our people were rich. The fee allowed in New York in a case of obstetrics is$10, in poor debt-ridden South Carolina the fee is $25, and other charges correspond. To en? courage the merchant the lien law was es [ tablished for which he says so many good things. It is simply a law legalizing robbery, and is enslaving the white man. I can prove it by every man who takes , a lien, and by "Piney Woods Farmer," himself, when be says "A fruitful source of embarrassment and failure is that our household and living ex? penses are out of all proportion to our. profits." It can't be otherwise. I buy corn at 60 cents, bacon at 6 cents ; the lien prices are, corn, from $1 to $1.25, and bacon 12? cents, or 05 per cent, on corn and over 100 per cent, ou bacon. No people can pay such exorbitant interest, and the surprise is tbat an intelligent man like P. W. F. "humbly kissee the hand that smites bim." The mer? chant would speedily get rich by the lien business, but unfortunately the cotton factor cleans bim up. To encourage the farmer he is made to pay the taxes ; more than half of his schood tax is turned over to the negroes and our white children are growing up in ignorance, the fund being only sufficient to keep the public schools open a few months; hisj taxes are appropriated to literary institu? tions, but when he asks that some of bis taxes bc used to build an Agricultural and Mechan? ical ?ollege, where a farmers' boy can get a practical farmers' education, he is told to "go slow," he might split the Democratic party. "Piney .Woods Farmer" tells os nothing is the matter with the farmer, bnt says "he bas retrograded year after year until be is the sickest farmer in the County." Poor fellow, if there is nothing the matter with him, it shows bim a most unsafe and unwise counsellor for other farmers. Then he criticises with the same lack of wisdom and judgment the agricultural and mechanical college, be says, "we have some? thing of the kind already, and proposes to modify and enlarge it." He then pictures a theoretical farmer with his bead full of chem? istry and scientific methods of agriculture, with a predominant idea of labor-saving im? plements, ?c., and the Sheriff scooping them in." The picture be draws is probably cor? rect as to the farmers turned out of the "some thing of the kind we have already," and thai would come out of bis modified and enlarged thing. Gen. Lee says, "The prob? lem of the Mississippi Agriciltoral and Me? chanical college is to furnish work for the students, we were compelled not ooly to en? large bnt to diversify largely in the last two years to give work to the studen Ss ; they de? mand the work and the institution for two years has been filled to its fullest capacity, and the indications are that next year two or three hundred students will be turned off from that institution, and at the recent com? mencement four thousand farmers were there." After reading of Gen. Lee's inatitu eion, "Piney Woods Farmer" calls that fhing in Columbia by its proper name. The State of Mississippi appropriates $27,000 for Gen. Lee's college ; this State appropriates for "Piney Woods Farmer's" thing $20,000 and for tbe Citadel $20,000. At Columbia they have a literary and agricultural and mechan? ical college combined without a farm, like the man who bad a splendid mill site, but bad no water. In order to giTe a boy a practical ag? ricultural and mechanical education he must work on the farm and in the machine shops. No institution will succeed where the far? mer boy with his bruised and sun-burned hands and face, is brought in contact in the Same institution with those choosing a liter? ary course and sporting around as gentlemen. It must be an agricultural and mechanical college pure and simple. "Piney Woods Farmer" must not expect to set a hen on a barrel of eggs and batch them all, neither can one institution hatch practical farmers, mechanics, lawyers, doctors and preachers. Ha criticises tbe training and industrial school for girls. There are many men in our country with a bouse full of daughters, bod* mortgaged, and taking a lien with absolutely nothing between their daughters and starva? tion but bis life and his daily struggles, aod no opening for them but a few public schools to be taught a few months in the year, and sewing for ;the negroes. He says,' .'the edu catiooal facilities, for oar girls are ample to meet all requirements." The average educa ted girl maybe om pam t a few flowers, a cow and a landscape sceae fro>m pictures, can piaf a little ansie, can ait op in the parlor and rattle off small talk, bat wheo to? father dies aod leaves them penniless, what ase is this smattering in wloniag bread and meat for themselves and to help mother and the chil? dren? Of all things we need a training aod industrial school for girls so as to fit them for an independent living. And nov/as to the danger of splitting the Democratic party. Wilt a discussion of the laws ard their bearing upon asas citizens, will oar endeavor to save our homes for our? selves and our country from bankruptcy and ruin which is staring us in tbe face, endanger toe part}' 7 Organizing simply to instruct our representatives as to onr warns and needs, sending them to Columbia with settled pur? poses and aims, organizing to try to estab? lish in the State institutions where our boys and girls can learn how to work and win bread, instead of being drones and de^d beats on society. I can't help but doubt the sincerity of the man who sees danger in these things and is blind, and hts pen silent, to happenings in this County of far greater im? portance to the unity of the Democratic party -happenings which involve the rights of the citizen and the liberties of tbe people. If these happenings about wbicb "Piney Woods Farmer" is so strangely silent, don't split the party, it will be because tbe farmer's organi? zation, looking more to measures than men, will rise up and educate our people and make them too independent to be actuated and led by the malign influence of a servile spirit. I once heard of a married coople who after many bard scrimmages tbe man got "licked," and the woman ever after would box his ears twoor three ti mes a day. A gentleman stopping over night saw tbe woman boxing him seve? ral times and inquired, Madam why do you box your husband so often? Well sir, ehe said, It took me three years to conquer that man and if I don't always keep bim in mind of it, I'll have my work to do all over again. I'm afraid a good deal of the opposition to the Farmers' movement is on the same prin? ciple. It took three years hard fighting to get into office and into the line of office and now if I don't box down this farmers' move- : ment I'll bavemy work todo alloveragain. As i "Piney Woods Farmer" closed with a beauti- i ful piece of/arm poetry,and Pm the same fellow < who holds the cow by the tail, I'll close my reply with a piece of bull yearling poetry : "What makes you write such stupid words as these 7 Envy of .us provoked you to that pass.
