Columbia is spreading herself DO little isis week. She is entertaining the whole State. All have gone there and there is nobody at home outside the limits of that beautiful and charming city. If our capital is not painted red this .week, it will be a wonder most passing . strange, and can only be accounted for . on the ground that our young bloods ; are afraid of having too big a notiee in that wide-awake and newsy journal, the Register^ THE FARMERS* MEETING. 'The Farmers' Meeting on last Satur? ada/ was not as largely attended as it .ought to have been. For some reason .or other there is little or no interest taken tn tbb County in what is known as the Farmers' Movement. Mr. H. R? Thomas has made repeated efforts to arouse his fellow-farmers and inspire a modicum of enthusiasm in them on the .subject of the Movement, but so far all ?is exertions have almost heeo fruitless. The meeting was called to order -about 12 o'clock by Mr. Thomas jpho delivered an address of some length. He delineated in sombre boes and mel? ancholy tints the condition of .the poor /armera in South Carolina. A most inor?se view was taken of the financial standing of the farmers of this Coon ty. The picture was so heavily draped in mourning that the farmer, his house, |>is mole and plow were com-?ctely cov? ered sp from tie mental view wish .those cancerous akers, ??ens, mort? gagee and those awful promises to ship so many bales of cotton for supplies.J The Tillmanine phrase, 'hewers of wood and drawers of water,' was hauled forth and gracefully applied to the farmers pf Sumter County. 'Each year/ said the speaker, 'the price of colton was growing lower and lower and taxes growing higher and higher.' His fel low-oitieens sew told that they had better rally under the farmers' fiag, be? cause he said, 'our system of business means confiscation of far ax property.' .*Th3 devil must be fought with fire.' Our system of education was nest taken hold of and handled without gloves hy Mr. Thomas. Re declared that our educational system a>eans igno? rance to the Farmers*1 children, and that out of their taxes the State Super? intendent of education is paid ?2,100, including traveling and o?ice expenses, and $1,200 for clerk hire. Ile said. I ssk you taxpayers if you eyer saw the Superintendent of education or his clerk, and if you ever received one cent of benefit from cither of them ' >?**-- ^.nd so on, on oar educational sjstem. Capt. R J. brownfield followed air. Thomas and argued in favor of an Agricultural College, but with forcible logic showed the futility of the argu? ments against the maintenance of the Citadel and South Carolina College, Capt. Brownfield briefiy and convincing- ! ly proved by his arguments based upou j solid facts and experience that these : institutions had bczn and are now of great benefit to us and that thc people i pf the State were io need of free eda-1 potion of ?very kind, and that they j ought IO have it, literary, agricultural j and mechanical. Capt. Brownfield re- . ferred to ?he everlasting cry made at j these meetisgs ?boQt the poor farmers : and tfceir terrible despair and suffering. He said he was tired hearing of it. The farmers of this Couuty were not suffering and in despair. That their crops were good this year, and they were in good spirits. As to the failure of their business arrangements, that the farmers alone were Tespoosible for them, and that they could not be sad* died off on the sboo?ders of others. Capt. John ?. Richardson next spoke, subscribing to all that had just been said and argued in the same spirit as did Capt. Brownfield. Capt. Kfchard sou produced a statement showing the result of his experimental farming this year and which demonstrates Shat Mr. Peterkin was right when he said that more money can be made by using col? ton seed meal than by the use of smy other fertilizer, and that a great deal less is realized by the use of the seed : Acres planted, 1 ; nnnttrr of exper? iments, 1-; fertilizers used, none ; cost of manures, nothing ; paid for picking, ?3 77; number of bushels o* seedr 14J; value of seed, $2 90} value of lint, $2211; net, $21 24.

I have picked over cotton five times and will pick again.* Mr. Harry Sanders and other gen? tlemen also spoke, testifying to the great value of the cotton seed meal as a fertilizer over that of the cotton seed. A Farmers* Meeting has been called for Nov 21st, when five delegates will be elecied to represent the farmers of this County at ?he Farmers' Conven? tion tobe held in Colombia next month.

A difficulty took place in the-Charles? ton Hotel barroom on Tuesday afternoon j which, but for prompt* interference, j could have resulted seriously, Hr. 2i'?bcrt iOi?erbe and Senator j Marion ijoise, both of Sumter County, ! met in the bar. Mr. K-crbe walked up. ! shook hands with Mr. Moise, and said; j *I am glad to see you. but your father j is a-^-r-rascai.' As he uttered these j words. Mr. Moise spat in his face an' quickly drew a revolver, with which he j struck Mr. Klierbe on thc hoad, and then stepped back propared to ?rc. At this moment a party of friends i::ter.ered and took Mr. Kile:tc away, which end? ed the dispute. Mrs. Sc well of Indianapolis, in an address to the Woman's Congress, said that she believed that t?ere was a grrat danger in confiding the education of our youth to a disfranchised clasp women. As this has been thc ca=c for some hundreds of }'<ar?, the danger would not seem to bc very grave. This remark al.-;o roca'ls the fact that if woman are (^franchised, they are in great part responsible for it themselves. If all thc worner) teachers v?i-.o have charge of the instruction of our youth should instil: into :!icir minds the sacredness of thc cause of woman's suf? frage, it would not bc many years be? fore, in thc natural course of events, there would bc a majority of tho voters Ul its f:ivcr.
