A Wide-Awake Farmer "With Very Level Head. Mr. J. E Tindal* of Clarendon Gives his Vieics on tlie Agricultural Col? lege and tlie Experimental Stations The Reason why the Agrictdtural Department should be Re-organized - The Citadel and the College. Mr. J. E. Tindal, president of the recent Farmers7 Convention aod mem? ber of the House of Representatives from Clarendon County, was in Charles? ton several days last week arranging for his planting operations next year, purchasing supplies, and visiting his numerous friecds and acquaintances here. Mr. Tindal was the guest of Mr. Stephen Thomas, Jr., during his stay in Charleston. He is one of the most progressive, successful, and ai the same time conservative representa? tives of the agricultural element of the State. He has two plantations in the western part of Clarendon County, near the Saatee River, and, what is more to the point, he plants them successfully. In answer to a question about the crops in his section, Mr. Tindal said to a Reporter that the crops were not as good as they might have been, but that sail they were not so very bad as they are reported to have been in the up-country, where dreadful freshets had occurred. Tho merchants in his sec? tion reported that their bills had been fairly well paid up, and the farmers, while net rich in money perhaps, had made enough corn and provisions to keep them from want, and were cheerfully making preparations for the coming crop, hoping for better results. 'Any tobacco planted in your neigh? borhood V inquired the Reporter. 'I think Dr. Ingram made an exper? iment in tobacco cultivation, the result of which I aai not able to give you/ replied Mr. Tindal. 'I know that the experiment was under the direction of his son-in-law, who is a Virginian and familiar with the process of tobacco growing, and I have no doubt that it will prove a success. I suppose, how? ever, the Neos and Courier will hear from it.' The conversation then drifted to the subject of the agricultural bills intro? duced duriug the last session of thc General Assembly, one of which, the experimental station bill, was passed in a modified form, and the ether in refer? ence to the organization of the agricul? tural bureau, was postponed by the Senate to the next session, after it had passed the House practically without opposition. Mr. Tindal was the author of both these bills, and did much by his conservative course and wise coun? sels to secure the passage of both in the House without opposition. It may also be mentioned that Mr. Tindal took an active interest in the passage of the Citadel and College appropriations, which were, however, not opposed by members who are interested in the farmers* movement. Referring to the agricultural bureau bill Mr. Tindal said: 'I think the Senate made a mistake in postponing the bill. It is not my parp?se nor my desire to impugn the { motives of those Senators who fought the bill, but I shall simply give you, as you ask it, something in reply to the argument of those who effected tts post? ponement. The reasons that were advauced against the bill will not bear the light of investigation, and, in my i opinion, the Senate wiil agree to the j measure at th? next session. Let me say at the outset that, as you will re I member, I withdrew the first bill in- j trounced looking to the establishment of an agricultural college, aud I did so for the reason that, in my opiuion, the State cannot well afford it at this time. When the State Hou^e 13 completed, we can then, without increasing the taxes, undertake the building of such a col? lege as is needed. The annual appro? priations now made for the work on *.\ ? State-H ouse will be sufficient to build equip and start the agricultural college. Hence, I sought only to have the Leg? islature furnished with such informa ; tion on the subject of agricultural col ! iesres as would enable them to act i iuteiiiger.tlv when the time came for its establishment. *To return, however, to .".ie bill to ! reorganize the agricultural bureau. As j [-?tated on the floor of the House, the { purpose of the bill was not intended to j cast any reflection upon the manage? ment of the department in the past. < One of loti objections urged against the bill in ttie Renate was that it was, in effect, class legislation. This will not hold water. In electing a judge, is j not the selectiou made from the law j yers 'I lu organizing the board of health, j are net doctors selected ? It is there I fore, simple, common sense legislation ! to select agriculturists to manage a de j partmeut which is avowedly created for the benefit of the agricultural interests of the State. 'Again, it was urged in the Senate for you will remember that there was no opposition to the bill in the House -that there would be too many ex o?cio members of thc board under the proposed reorganization. To thi answer is simple enough : We si seek to place the board at the he the 'farmers' movement,' as it is ci Tt is admitted that there must be oi ization and concert of action amonj farmers of the State if they exp? better their condition. Mind, I d mean their political condition, but actual material condition. Now there is to be such an association, better head could it have than a I established, supported and recog? by the State, in view of the parara importance of fostering and carinj its agricultural interests? Don't see that when the farmers meet ot year a board organized as this to mote agriculture will really be them. They would be enlightene the board and by the interchang views and experiences of the mern would give fresh ideas, suggest thoughts and subjects and thus help the board in the very work for whii was created-the development perfection of the agriculture of State. In addition to this the reoq ization will effect a very desirable ofc -it will bring the members of board closer to the people and rx them better acquainted with t wants.' 'It has been suggested,' interp< the interviewer, 'that the farm movement had a political significan *I know that,' replied Mr. Tin? 'but the answer to that suggestio obvious. The passage of this would at once eliminate politics entii from the farmers' movement, if tl ever was any politics in it. If, as ask in this bill, the agricultural bo is placed at the head of the farm movement, there can be no politics in The farmers' association would have its head a board selected by the Le< lature and confined by law in its deli rations solely to questions coonee with the agricultural interests of t State. Why the bill itself would nee sarily eliminate politics from the fat ers* movement by making it one of departments of the State Governmei 'You said that there was no intent to cast any reflection upon the past m? agement of the board V 'Yes, I said so, and I repeat What we sought to accomplish by t bill wasto direct the energiesof the boz in a new and what to many of us see a more practical and profitable cha ?el. We want it to take charge of t agricultural education of the people : develop our agricultural resources combining our intelligence at home a not by looking to immigration frc abroad to help us. I allude now to t effo-ts of the bureau in the past to e courage immigration by advertising o advantages, our resources and ocr mi eral and other wealth. What I me; is this : I admit the desirability of ha usg capital to come to our State, b capital is shy and as a general thii level-headed. Capital cannot be i duced to come here by hand-boo alone. If vou show to the world th mt our people are successful in their os affairs, that our farmers are makit money at their business, capital at immigrants will be convinced of tl fertility of our soil and the advantag of our climate, and will come vei quickly. This, we claim, can be a complishcd by the education of tl farmers, and this, we think, can I secured by the reorganization of tl bureau on the plan indicated in tl bill in question. 'The plan of organization, too, is ni new. The benefits of farmers' insti tutes to an agricultural community ar too well established to be doubted 00^ The Srst requisite to the improvemei of agriculture is to organize the farmei In the New England States the farmer county clubs elect thc board of director of the agricultural bureau, and these di rectors elect the secretary, who is virtuall the commissioner of agriculture. Ther can be no conflict of opinion, no das of authority here. I need not go ovc thc questious that have arisen iu our de partment of agriculture under th present system. The Legislature elect the commissioner, and it also elects th members of thc board. Suppose ther is, as there has been, a difference c opinion on very material points be tween the board and the commissioner how can it be settled V Mr. Tindal spoke at length upon thi point, giving many reasons for the rc organization of the department. The Reporter, however, mindful o time aud space, asked for an expressioi of his views with reference to the tw< experimental stations authorized by ai Act of the last General Assembly. 'These farms or stations,' said Mr Tindal, 'to be of any benefit to the agri cultural interest of the State, should b< organized and directed by a man o both scientific knowledge and practica experience, for the reason that, in cou ducting experiments, many extraneous mutters creep iu and have to be elimina ted in order to get at the true result o th" experiment. Men who have under taken experiments of this character wil understand how easily one may b( misled.' 'Have you any suggestions as to thc proper person to uudertake the work ' *In my opini??n. Ur. Mcbryde, o the State University, is the one man ir the State who can accomplish what is desired. Or. McBryde is a practical farmer and a scientist. Ile has both knowledge and practice. l>ut he caii't undertake the work unless he is relieved from class duty in thc College, i think he should be relieved of this duty, and then ho could do the executive work o? the Coi lege, and perhaps establish these stations, in my judgment no College president -should be culled upon' to do class work unless the institution is too poor to furnish a sufficient number of teachers. The bill, as it was amended iu the Senate, is not exactly what was sou "ht to be attained, but two statious can be of material benefit to the farm? ers of the State. I attach, however, great importance to the manner in which these farms shall be organized, for unless they are begun and conducted in the way I have indicated, it is doubtful if they will accomplish any desirable results.7 'What do you think about the Cita j del V j 'As you know, I have never said a ! work against the Citidel. On the con j trary, it, as well as the State University. I has received my warmest support. I . think that YOU will fi?d that the conser? vative farmers of South Carolina are not opposed but strongly in favor of ed? ucation. In my judgment I think the course of instruction in the Citadel should be enlarged in the direction of the science of applied mechanics, but this, I presume, will be done when the board of visitors see the opportunity of doing it. When the State-House shall be finished and the State Agricultural College built and put in operation, the system of higher education in the State will be complete.' Mr. Tindal said a good deal more on the subject of education-agricultural, literary and scientific-showing bis earnestness in the cause, an earnestness which was abundantly proved by his course io the House of Representatives. Our State Contemporaries. Darlington News. To return to 'Fair Play He says he thinks that the probable solution of the knotty question ts that 'cotton loses weight because it is a vegetable produc? tion, which in its green state weighs more than it does when dry, and con? tinues as time passes to weigh less and less until it becomes perfectly dried and cured.' We have before us as we write all the papers in the case of a bale which was stored in Darlington for eleven months, at the end of which time, when taken out for shipment, it weighed 432 pounds. Within three weeks afterwards the shipper received his account sale and found that his balo I bad lost 29 pounds ! Strange that this bale should not have become 'dry and cured' during its eleven months storage in Darlington ; and yet that it should have reached this desirable condition at the end of three week's sojourn in the salt air of Charleston. Williamsburg LTerald. The annual Conference of the M. E. Church, North, for South Caro? lina, held its sessions in the Methodist Church (colored) frere from Friday the 21st to Tuesday, the 25th instant. Bishop Cyrus D. Foss, of Minneapo? lis, Minnesota, presided. Rev. J. B. Middleton was elected Secretary. On Sunday fully 1000 colored people were in town, attending services in the various churches. Some able sermons were preached, which were heard with much interest. 1 he congregational sing? ing was grand, mauy voices singing in perfect time and accord. Bishop Foss preached an able sermon to a large con? gregation, taking for his text the words, 'Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Chirst.' Lexington Dispatch. It is thought this will be on'e of the hardest years many of our farmers have ever experienced. Don't think that an agricultural college, though it be fashioned after the Mississippi College, will meet the present emergency. Captain A. D. and J. G. West are preparing to experiment in poultry raising. Newberry Herald. The farmers' movement in the State does not appear to have much life at present, but if they will let politics alone and give more time to gathering information and exchanging views on practical farming, they will find a wide field for planting truths that will ben? efit them, both as individuals and as an organization. Greenville News. The South Carolina militia is a good deal like a tad-pole-all head and no tail to speak of. To look at the staff one would .think our citizen soldiery a formidable organization ; to look at the roll of the rank and file one would wonder how it can support such a weight of authority. But there is one comfort. Our mil? itia will always be obedient on occasions of general parade, for the companies, brigades and regiments will be awed by the fear that the staff will surround and shoot them on the slightest mani? festation of insubordination. Columbia Register. We have had the pleasure of inspecting what seems to us a very admirable seed and manure drill, which is the invention of Mr. J. H. Nichols of Privateer Township, nine miles or so from the town of Sumter. The sower is espe? cially adapted to the sowing of cotton or peas, either by drilling or in hills. It will successfully plant an acre of peas with ten quarts. In sowing peas it will save $15 out of ?22 on broad? casting, including the work, and with better results. Besides, this is a most efficient ma? nure drill. It can be readily changed from a pea sower to a cotton sower by simpty changing the feeder that works in the throttle cf the machine. In planting peas, the ground ts open? ed by what looks like a small bull tongue, whilst two small turn plows attached follow and cover the sowing. In the case of cotton, a sweep attached follows and covers. This is one of the most complete things we have ever seen. Mr. Nichols will have this drill on our market in a few days, and our plan? ters would do well to examine it before supplying themselves elsewhere. We have no interest in this matter save to encourage a worthy man of our own soil in calling attention to what we esteem a good invention. Look Out for the Locomotive. Augusta Chronicle. The Wilmington Star states, on rail? road authority, that the liuc surveyed from Sumter, S. C., to Augusta, (ja., is intended to give the Atlantic Coast Line a direct route from the North? to Augusta. The Const Line at present uses the Charlotte, Columbia and Au? gusta line from Columbia to Augusta but it is said the arrangement with the latter road will expire in two years and six months. Before that time the Coast Linc will have its direct and in? dependent line to Augusta, built as I now surveyed. Thc Wilson and Flor j ence cut-off of the Coast Line is now ? grided to the South Carolina linc j By this new route, winch wc trust I will reach us sooner than indicated by thc Star, Augusta will have a rapid J I Northern connection of unsurpassed ex- j i cellence. There will be un tarryiug at : Florence, but a quick transit by thc 1 new cut-off, which, leaving Wilmington on one side, reduces the time by several hours. We are glad to have the Coast Line directly established here. It is first class in every particular, resembling the perfect system and appointment of the Pennsylvania Company. We have hopes that the Coast Line proprietors, who are so rich, enterprising and broad? minded, will, as they have done else? where, inaugurate improvements in Au? gusta. It may be a grand thing if they could also realize, what was once so narrowly missed by them, the control of the road to. Port Royal, which Capt. Jouett says leads to the finest harbor on the South Atlantic, and is 'the nearest maritime point to everywhere/ We welcome the Coast Line's direct progress to Augusta. It is something the Chronicle has urged, in season and out of season. We now shall pre? pare to report a speedy advance in this direction. Columbia Register. The Congaree Iron Works have in process of construction at their works on Lady street some peculiar machinery and immense retorts which are to be used in a new manufacturing enterprise to be located at Eastover in this County which cannot fail to be of great local importance and the facts concerning it of general interest. Mr. J. D. Stanley of Eastover, the gentleman most prominently connected with the new company for which the machinery aboved mentioned is being made, was in tba city Friday, and from him was gained some information as to the use to which it is to be put and other facts relating to the new enterprise which are given below. Mr. Stanley is the patentee of the process of extracting the firnolinic oil from raw nine wood, and the manufac ture of this oil has been most profitably carried on by several establishments under his patents for some years past. By the process hitherto in use, how? ever, only crude oil was produced, which, while excellent for the painting of ships, piles, etc., was not available for other uses by reason of color, odor, etc. After ten years of experimenting Mr. Stanley bas discovered a process by which it is possible to make from the pine wood a decolorized and deodorized firnolinic oil, which will be most valua? ble for all the common uses in which oil is employed, and is well nigh certain to displace to a great extent the linseed and other oils now used for painting and kindred uses. The new oil will not only have a heavier body, insure more complete pre? servation of wood, while avoiding dis? coloration and being odorless, but can be made at a cost to complete ia price with the oils now used. A stock company has been formed, to be known as the Stanley Manufactur? ing Company, with large and ample capital to provide a suitable plant and introduce the new article on the market. Operations have already been begun on the erection of works at Eastover, and, as previously stated the machinery needed is in course of manufacture in this city. Mr. Stanley states that the output is practically unlimited as long as pine wood can be produced. The establishment of this new in? dustry in our Country can but bc of great advantage, and the further pro? gress of the enterprise will be awaited with iuterest. Mexican Pensions. The Mexican pension bill which has been passed by Congress provides that a pension of ?3 a month shall be paid to all surviving officers and enlisted men, including marines, militia and volunteers of the military and naval services of the United States, who being duly enlisted, actually served sixty days with the army or navy of the United States in Mexico or on the coasts or frontier thereof or en route thereto in the war with that nation, or who were actually engaged in battle in said war and were honorably discharged, and to such other officers and boldiers and sailors as may have been personally named in any resolution of Congress for any spe? cific service in said war, and the sur? viving widows of such officers and en? listed men : Provided, that such widows have not remarried : Provided, that every such officer, enlisted man or widow, who is or may become 62 years of age, or who is or may become sub? ject to any disability or dependency equivalent to some cause prescribed or recognized by the pension laws of the United States as sufficient reason for the allowance of a pension, shall be entitled to the benefits of this Act ; but it shall not be held to include any person not within the rule, of age or disability or dependency herein defined, or who in? curred such disability while in any manner voluntarily engaged in or aid? ing or abetting the late rebellion agaiust the authority of the United States. Section 4.715 of thc Revised Statutes is repealed, so far as it relates to this Act or to pensioners under this Act. Estimates for the payment of pen? sions under tho Mexican Pension bill have been transmitted to the House by thc Secretary of thc Treasury. In a letter from thc Commissioner of Pen? sions accompanying the Secretary's com? munication thc officer says that the probable number of surviving enlisted men of thc classes described in the bill is ;>4,7-18, and thc probable number of widows Io,S2G. Thc amount which will be required for making the first annual payment is ?4,OOo. 104. which thc Commissioner requests bo made ?in? mediately available. Ile also says thar to dispose of the work created by thc bill before June 30 next will re? quire an additional clerical fore1 of one assistant chief of division at ?1,800 fifteen section chiefs at $l,4U0 each, 150 clerks of class one at ?1,200 each, fifteen record clerks at $1,000 each, thirty-live clerks at. ?1,000 each and ti ve messengers, making an aggregate in? crease in the force of 221 employes and an addiriou to thc pay roll of ?257,OU0. Senator M. C. Butler publishes a card in the JVe/cs and Courier, in which he states that those who may be entitled to a pension for service in the Mexican war, should apply directly to the llou.
