The whole thing was very much like "the old man's dream of his lazy son being in sheol, "He wasn't much, nather here nor thar"; but, Mr. Editor, it madego^. fillings. Our neighborhood has had quite a varied experience since my last. The topic of con? versation for last two days has been the as? signments of two of our merchants on Satur? day. Mr. W. iv. Shaw assigned in the morn? ing to Mr. W. B. Carnes, and Mr. R. E. Carnes,. Agt., to Mr. J. E. Baskin, in after? noon, in favor of their -rotors. This is a pretty fceavy blew to OL. fillage. Mr. R.?.

After supper all returned to the parlor, and wheo the wee hours came on seemed loath to leave. The bride and groom were the recipients of many handsome presents both useful and orna? mental. It's a fact, there's no hear-say-imagioation ia it. Mr. Editor, we have seen it ,* to make it mc?-e certain, we felt it. The telegraph wire was put to this place on Friday.

It i's really astonishing how bright and youthful this old favorite keeps ; the only thing that remends one of its age is the re? membrance that it has been a welcome month? ly guest since one's childhood ; a periodical essentially for the family, possessing elements of interest for all, from the oldest to the youngest. This has been a year of exception? al interest and excellence ; its engravings and illustrations have never been better, and, re? garded from a literary point of view, we may assert that it has never before reached the samestandard. It has given stories and serials from some of the most popular writers in America, and its prospectus for the forthcom? ing year is even richer in promise. Nearly a half-century of useful and successful progress j has taught us to place en tire confidence in this friend of countless households, and we look j forward to its efforts in 1888 proving a com- j plete triumph, both as a literary and illustra- j ted magazine.

Hyacinth and Tulip Bulbs at DeLornie's. The Farmer's Movement. A Reply to the Editorial in Last Issue of Bisk opville Enterprise. WEDGEFIELD, NOV. 7, 1887. Mr. Editor : I notice in theBishopville En ierprise an editorial on the "Farmer's Move ment." The whole article is unjust and mis leading. The writer says, "when we look around we find, in most instances,?this move? ment headed by some lawyer who wants to get office by abusing bis brother lawyer, &c." i am a member o? the State Executive Con mittee, and know a good many men all over the State who might be termed the leaders in this movement, and I do not know a single lawyer who has taken any part in the move? ment, and I don't believe the writer of the article referred to knows one. If he does, name him ; if not, then this portion of his article is a willful misstatement. Then, again he says : "If not headed by a lawyer, then by some man who has tried farming and failed ; then hoping to secure an office cries out against others." I only know one man who has taken any part in this movement who was a candidate for any office, and he is known as the most successful far? mer ia his county and was a candidate to be the spokesman for the farmers iu the Legis, lature. I don't believe the writer of this article koows one farmer among the leaders who has failed at farming and is therefore trying to get an office. If he does, name him, if not, this portion of his article is untrue. He says : "We do not say that we are op? posed to the movement." He should have said, we are on the fence \ if the move suc? ceeds we will tumble over on the sid* of suc? cess like a politician. We say to the writer, be a man and advocate the right like a mac, either for or against, and people will have more respect for your paper, and it will grow like the farmers' movement, because it merits success. He says again : "A3 to an Agricultural College we can only say that all the 'kid glove professors' can't teach a boy one-tenth as much about farming as some of our good farmers can. If you want your son to be a good farmer give him a good academic educa? tion at borne, then pot him between the plow handlesand try to get him to walk as near in the footsteps of his old father as possible." A "kid glove professor" would be very much out of place in an Agricultural College like the one the farmers are trying to establish in this State, and I am sure there would be no such gentry in this college. Where is the farmer's sou to get a good academic educa? tion at home? Surely not in our public schools which are only run four or five mouths in the year, where the children are taught out of such books as they may have, with no regard to any systematic course of study ; where the teachers are too poorly paid to have auy great interest, and where the School Commissioner is not paid a suffi? cient salary to give the schools that attention which they require, and is forced to attend to other business in order to live. "Poor pay makes poor preach," and I reckon that is what's the matter with the editorial in ques? tion. The writer's receipt for making a good farmer is ludicrous in this country and in this progressive age. Some of the best farm? ers in this County live near Bishopville, and I am sure if the writer of that article were to tell them they ought to plow and list cotton like their fathers did they would not call bim the "horse editor," but rather name him after an animal with smaller hoofs und longer ears. The writer must have graduated in tie school taught by that negro who swears the world don't move. We want farmers educated in all the branches pertaining to agriculture. To this class of educated, scientific farmers we owe nearly all the great improvements in agricul? ture and stock-breeding, which enables the son to more than double the productions of the necessaries of life from the same acreage planted hy our fathers. The vast improve? ment iu implements and machinery as applied to farming \. the extended and skillful appli? cation of manures, guided by agricultural chemistry ; judicious rotation of crops, im? proved breeds of stock and all that is now known as high farming, is due to this educated class of farmers. And to fur? ther develop the Agricultural resources of the country and greatly increase its produc? tion is the aim of thefpromoters of the Agri? cultural College, and to this end and purpose the ?. S. Government bas donated to this State $26,000. The aim, of the leaders cf tlte Farmers Movement is no such low degraded motile as Ike irriter ojfirm's. He then concludes by saying we ask the farmers to think well before leaving a ship that has brought U3 safely out of corruption and misrule, and be sure not to give allegi? ance to any party vikose great aim is to oust good officials that new aud on ried men may have a berth." What ship does he mean but the D?faocr*tic' ship? Capt. Tillman is the chairman of the Edgefield County Democracy. I do not remember the names of all the Trus? tees proposed for this college. I nominated one wfcfo has got a record, and a roan only dirties himself who tries to cast doubt on the Democracy of Gen. Johnson Hagocd, *nd no less true men are Darcy Duncan, Rivers and others. Again, wbo is trring to otrst any officials and put in others ? For myself I believe we have too many officials j bet ? am sure the great majority of them ia both State and County are honorable and upright gentlemen, equally as good as any whom the farmers would be likely to put in, should they ever descend to the dirty cesspols of class politics, orto the folly of "supposing a mau hoffest because he is a farmer, and dishonest because he is a lawyer." I refer the writer to the heading of his own piper : "Kauai and exact Justice to all Men." I must say for the Editor of the ?isbopv?lle Enterprise, that be roust have been enjoying the Gala Week and left some big boy to write an imaginative editorial, founded on fiction, because 1 know bim to be more capa? ble and more just. He says further, "if he saw anything in this movement to benefit the farmers he would endorse it." The delega? tion which was sent to the last State Conven? tion offered the resolutions pawed by our County Convention, two of which are now laws of the State. One making the careless burning of furests punishable by imprison? ment and fine: this burning of woods de? stroys thousands of dollars each year in this ! county. The other the teduction of the cost of feeding prisoners and conveying same to Penitentiary by the State, thus saving a con? siderable sum to the county. Jn fact for the first time in years the Grand Jury report the County out of debt, and has $5.000 to her credit. The cost of running the County is about $5,000 less than the year before. But the greatest good in my mind, is showing our officials that their nets and conduct is not above the inspection and criticism of the common citizen ; that they are the servants of the people and not their masters. We will not tire the public with further arguments, but will quote to the Enterprise, man ?nd all other?, the langu/ige of Philip to Nathan. When Nathan said "No good can come ont of Nazareth," Philip said "Come and see." I in? vite nil persons engaged in farming to meet in the Court House at 12 o'clock on Novem? ber 21st as per cali elsewhere. I will invite Mr. Tillman to address this meeting. H. R.

Nov 9 o BLOOD POISON. Three years ago I contracted a blood poison. I applied to a physician at once and his treat? ment came near killing me. I employed an old physician and then went to Ky. I then went to Hot Springs and remained two months, but nothing seemed to cure me per? manently, aithough temporary relief was given me. My condition gew desperate and ? applied to a- noted quack, but I did not im? prove. ? then used a preparation which was prescribed "gratis," but it contained too much alcohol and aggravated my sufferings. I their placed myself under the treatment of a noted Nashville physician and for a time was bene?-tted, but by fall I returned home a ruined man physically and financially, with but little prospects of ever getting well. My money being exhausted, ? did not know what to do. In May. 1885, my mother persuaded meto get a bottle of B.B.B, (made in At? lanta) and I did so to gratify her, but to my utter astonishment I bad rot finished the first bottle before every ulcer had been healed. To the present time I have used five bottles and have received more benefit than from-al? the rest combined ; and I am satisSed that B. B. B. is the roost wondeffu? blood purifier ever before known, and I urge all afflicted young men to try one single bottle and be convinced. I can truly say I think it the best medicine in the world. Z. T. H?EM?WOS. .Macon, Ga., May 1, 1886. VERY NERVOUS. For man)* years I have beeu afflicted with Rheumatism combined with some Kidney Troubles. Indigestion finally added to my misery and I soon became feeble and very nervous, and my whole system was prostrated Several physicians were employed and nu? merous patent medicines resorted to without benefit. After Seeing so many testimonials extolling the wonderful merit of B. B. B., I commenced its use and the effect was like magic. Rheumatic pains ceased, ray kidneys were relieved and my constitution improved at once, and I cheerfully recommend it to others who may bc similarly afflicted. Miss S TO.MMNSO.V.
