Money for the Farmers.
^ Pickcns Sentinel.
This is arj important question for the
Farmer*' Alliance. It is expected that
c the Alliance will" try its combined force
Os the money market. They want and
Should have the lowest possible rate of
interest. If they are net in good enough
* shaps to succeed in the foreign money
markets this year, they can save more
money than they have ever saved before,
by making terms with the Greenville
Savings Back. On good collateral it
will advance money, as needed by the
members of the Alliance at the rate
ten per cent per annum. Those who
did not need the money over six
months, would thus only pay five per
cent on the money they used. If the
members of the Alliance eombioe their
.credit, this is a good opportunity for
them to -save money. ^ j
Important to Farmers.
Ncvberry Neice cad Hera14.
The corn crop of this country is very
short and it is therefore important to
tile farmers to pi a at the crop which
will take its place soonest. This in our
judgment is barky, 1st. It will furnish
the earliest spring food. 2nd, It ripens
before oats, and weighing nearly twice
as much, is much superior to that grain.
3rd, It produces gore bushels to the
acre than any other grain. Land that
will make 20 bushels of corn will make
doable that amount in barley. On the
Pacific coast, notably in California, it
.is fed to horses in preference to core.
It is chopped for feeding ; one peck of
this grain being a full days feed per
horse, and a liberal supply. We do not
mean by this that farmers should sow
ibis grain to the exclusion of oats and
wheat or the planting of corn, but we
seed diversity of crops. We need to
' sow liberally of all small grain. It is
* great satisfaction to a farmer to have
barns and cribs full and plenty of bread
?tuffa on hand.
Trapped Again.
Greenville Neva.
Once more Republican smartness has
been pitted against Grover Cleveland's
?! .. bard common sense and quiet shrewd
ness and oace more there is a crushing
.recoil and a serious entanglement.
The Republican Senators rejected the
?isheries treaty and gave the President
the opportunity for the ringing, sting
ling message, calling for power to assert
American strength and to defend Amer
: tican rights. The power asked for. was
jefes^d and Mr. Cleveland would prob
ably bave been silent od the subject
until after the election, for fear of hav
ing his motives misunderstood if he
prosecuted the matter farther. But
the officious fools could not ' let !,
bad enough alone. Ia their anxiety to
recover lost ground and to set a clever (
trap for the administration they con- ,
cocted the Sack ville-West Murchison
letter job. (
Now- how it- comes back to them ! ,
Bow beautifully they are snared in ,
.their <cwn trapl The "President was |
jgiren the opportunity to make the (
.eagle scream on the verge of the elec
tion a note which goes straight to every
American heart to stir its patriotism
I jand pride > tee Democratic adeicistra
4ion was given the task of asserting the
/dignity and rights of these United
States on a position, beyond criticism
or question. The opportunity has been j
used splendidly. !,
The Republicans are trapped. Their j
Reading campaign cry is stiSed-, the
' ?luster and falsehood of Blame are
mashed dowo flat ; -they must approve
what the President has done or stand ;
^committed to a policy of tame submis
sion to any insult or interf?rence a for
eign power may put upon us.
The author of the brilliant scheme
baa doubtless been congratulating h?m- j
self on his success. Now he may well
begin to consider whether he is not!

Hard Times.
Barnvotll People.
**The melancholy days have come,
the saddest of the year." The cotton
#rop of the Couay is practically gather
Ad and gone The latter rains shortened j
the yield and the money kings lowered j
its prices. The bright promise of the
summer has departed, leaving behind j
bloeness among sellers on time and de- j
ipondency on money buyers on credit. |
"The fields look like broad grave yards
.of dead great expectations and the !
problem to make both ends meet is a !
general perplexity.
But this is no time to sit down in the
ashes clothed in penitential sackcloth,
and hugging sorrow to aching hearts.
j[t is ratber the very season in which I
men and women should investigate j
themselves individually, aad so endeav- '
or to find out the cause of and the cure j
for hard times. Human nature ist
prone to hunt up 6cape goats for its
sins of omission and of commission,
and if the public were called upon to <
sit in judgment upon the question, the :
verdict would be a unanimous agreement !
that the sreathif clerk, the bacon j
raisers apd corn growers aud wheat \
speculators of the 3fbrth-Vv"est, tue bulls !
and bears of Wall Street, t?;e bagging j
trust and the great spread ea^lc Ameri
can tariff had done the mischief, a;:.] ;
that the innocent suSercrs were the ;
periMc&od victims of all those divers
and sundry conspirators. There is
truth in that but seif examination ai.?;]
proas examination would show that it is !
pot all the truth, and that much of the j
blame for such a situation is borne n?a<Ic.
The people bave deliberately Lut un
though ted! y placed themselves at the i
mercy of the everlasting Yankee
Th?*ir intentions ha7e been the
and their *t*dgrr.er.t the worst i? the ;
world. It is rightly chimed that this
is God's country, gifted with the most i
genial climate, the most grateful soil, .
th? widest range of production, and yet
it is fast becoming the property of the
cute New Engl?nder, whose c?mate is i
too cruel and whose soil too niggard to j
allow the right development of fall i
grown Christian souls. Our people are !
slowly becoming his mon servants and l
baud maidens and as his power grows
greater and our resistance becomes less j
capable with equal progress, he will I
tighten tfce screws uutil the torture j
becomes unendurable and the slavery
beyond redemption. Kveo now, like t
the Egyptian task master, he ia taking \
the straw without reducing the required i
aud inexorable tale of bricks. the t
years goby the struggle of life, a sort f
of baud to mouth existence, coutinues i
s s tread mill course, while the cancers t
of care and debt continue to eat away
hope and happiness with more voracious
appetite. 4"The euro of credit V1 How
many lives has it mined within the two
last decades i How many homes have
been stolen by its greedy grt'Sp from
heart broken women and children out
cast from the shelter of the roof tree
that had covered so many years of hap
py history ! How many sacred cham
bers where the loved ones bade the last
earthly farewells before they went into
the great beyond have passed into
stranger bands ! How many hapless
men and women and tender babes has
it started adrift upon the tender mercies
of the world, perhaps to end a long line
in shameful vagabondage or the bitter
rest of a pauper's grave, unmoistened
by a single tear, unbonored by the mute
mark of marble ! And does not the
manhood and womanhood of our people
weakes and wear away in this downward
avalanche? So the old, they whose
memories of the old past are more vivid
than their remembrances of the recent
years, see, and are not serry that their
spans of life will soon be measured to
the end. But the younger plastic lives
will keep step with the decadence of the
times unless conservative influences
shall rouse them to honor and be worthy
of the traditions of the past and equal
to the dangers and duties of the coming
years.
Of Doubtful Expediency.
Abbeville Medium.
The grand jury of Clarendon county
has made a presentment Qf considerable
length and interest. A number of sug
gestions are made lookiog*to a reduction
of expenses. Some of the recommen
dations are proper but some in our
opiuion are unwise.
The grand jury thinks the pay of
their School Commissioner is too high
and recommends the -passage of a law
by the legislature which will cut dowa
his pay about one-half. To effect this
purpose we do not see that any change
of the law is necessary. Section 1003
of the General Statutes provides for
the manner of paying the salaries of
School Commissioners. The County
Board of Examiners are to fix the com
pensation provided the amount does not
exceed three dollars per day for each
day actually employed in the discharge
of his duty. The account must be
sworn to. The number of days shall
not exceed two hundred in the year
outside of Charleston County. The law
does not say that the School Commis
sioner shall be paid for two bnudred
days but that in no event must he be
paid for more. By the last report of
the School Commissioner of Clarendon
County it seems that the schools in that
county were open but a little more than
two months during the year. At three
dollars per day the pay should not have
been much over ?200. This salary
does not strike us as too much for any
soxt cf an officer.
The grand jury also recommends :
*' Giving the County Commissioners of
Clarendon County the power to issue
bonds to the amount of seven thousand
dollars bearing interest at a rate not
exceeding eight per cent, per annum
for the purpose of placing the finances
af the county on a cash basis. And '
that for the purpose of paying principal I
and interest on these bonds, an annual
levy of one mill on all texable .property
af the county be made until said princi
pal and interest is paid."
This we regard as a very question
able scheme. Aiken county asks that
the law allowing that county to borrow
money be repealed. It has not worked
satisfactorily. The County Commission
em already have the power to borrow j
money for the purchase of real estate j
for the erection of buildings or the pur- j
chase of land farms. This power, how- |
ever, is closely guarded. The County !
Commissioners must first notify the j
General Assembly of the necessity
therefor, authority must be granted j
them by the Legislature to create such ;
loan, then the question must be submit
ted tG a vote of the peopie and a two i
thirds majority must be secured before '
the loan is created. i
When such safe guards are thrown
around creating a loan for such necc3
sary purpose as above indicated it does
seem unwise to give power to borrow
money for current expanse. Bonds are j
bad things. An annual tax would meet
the emergency, and the people would j
be relieved of the extra burden iu a few
years. The people of Clarendon should
consider carefully before entering upon
any such scheme.
The Legislatus.
Abbeville Frees and Banner.
The Abbeville members of the Gen- j
eral Assembly from this county may
possibly propose some legislation which
will be of interest to the people. While |
some of the measures may fail to become |
laws, yet there can be no doubt that
some changes arc needed.
When the General Assembly meets !
we trust that Representative G ray don :
will make another eiiort to pass a law

The Printing of Election Tickets.
Ahbivil?e Press a:td Banner.
A* some of the bretht j of the press
have had something to say on this sub
ject", and as we think the country press
have been unjustly treated by the Dem
ocratic party iu this State, we will make
a remark or two on the subject of levy
ing "assessments for campaign pur
poses" and the printing of election
tickets
We believe the Executive Committee
have consistently ignored the country
press, except on such occasions, when
their services were needeJ iu doing free
advertising or in the free whooping-up
of any particular idea which they may
have wished to impress upon the public.
On the other hand, we feel quite sure
that a single newspaper bas received
nearly all of the profitable work of the
party. If any newspaper, save a single
exception, has made a dollar by work
for the party, let it speak out.
We presume the Executive Committee
care very little whether or not we may
think that we are treated in a fair way.
With the reigns tightly held over us,
and with the constant threat of a return
to Radical rule, if we no not believe
like good children, they need not care
to inquire either into so small * matter
as the judicious expenditure of the
campaign fund, or whether the country
gress have been justly dealt with. The
press of South Carolina, we believe,
without exception, have labored earnest
ly and. persistently to advance the in
terests of Democracy, and we believe,
as a rule, the newspapers have support
ed and sustained the Executive Com
mittee in whatever they have done.
They did it generously and freely, even
though the County Democracy and the
State Executive Committee have reg
ularly carted off all or nearly all of their
printing to the News and Courier.
The country press have no right to
complain of any citizen who may choose
to send bis own job printing to a city
office, where he may pay double the
price, but whan .a public officer sends the
people's money off to a city and pays more
for official or party work than it can be
had for at home, he commits an act
which is a proper subject for remark.
As a rule, campaign funds should be
spent among the people who contribute
it, if tis .good service can be -bad at
home and at as cheap rates, but when
it costs from 50 to 100 per cent mere to
pa^rouize a member of the Executive
Corumit?ee than it does to have the I
same work done at home, then those
who contribute may complain. To i-ay j
the least of it, it would seem impolitic j
for the Executive Committee to. choose i
one of their own number to do all of
the party printing at an exorbitant
price. To show that the Executive
Committee undertook to fosce the dif
ferent counties to give one of their own j
number all of the State printing at his
own price, we think it would only be |
necessary to show their recent action i
toward Abbeville county.
Heretofore Abbeville county bas paid, j
we believe, 75 cents a thousand for all
of the tickets, but our County Chair
man this year concluded not to give 75 j
cents to the Charleston firm, when they
could be printed at home for about half
that price.
Just as the forms were ready to go to
press the County Chairman received the j
following telegram :
columdia, Oct 25.
"To E. R. Gary : State Committee \
will furnish your county free Electoral, j
State, Congressional and Solicitor .
tickets. Write Dawson about tickets, j
"Wiley Jones. Secretary.." j
Doesn't it look like a job?or is it |
bossism? When our County Chair
man refused to order the Electoral,
State, Congressional and Solicitor
tickets, they propose to print them any
how, and we presume will detjend upon
assessing the peopie or the officers to pay
"Dawson" 75 cents for tickets, which
our County Chairman had contracted
for at home at about half of fhe price
which was to be paid to the Executive
Committee printer.
Another reason for the continuance
of bossism and the holding on to the I
printing by the Executive Committee j
may be found in the manner of priotiug |
ballots for the Constitutional amend- j
ments. Will anybody assert that the j
"Yes" and the "No'' tickets have been !
evenly divided ? Will anybody assert!
that an equal number of "Yes'5 and |
"No'7 tickets have been sent to the !
different counties ? if they have not, j
can anybody give a reason, outside of i
bossism, for denying equal advantages |
to both sides of any questiou in the \
Democratic party ?
It may not be uninteresting to show j
the actual cost of printing the tickets j
at, Abbeville, and for which Abbeville j
couuty has generally naid $45 to a j
member of the Executive Committee j |
ever since Democratic reconstruction : j i

Sum ter, S. O.
When we came to Sumtcr we could hear it was predicted for us that we would
?oon have out the red flag. It was also paid that we could not make a living in
Sum ter fry selling <;oods for cash. Well, we are here j et, and from the
looks of uur large fctoek and rapidly growing trade it seems we came here to stay.
Not only Jo stay, but to lead with the best values fcr the least money. Su m ter
is good enough for us ; it is not at aii the dull town it was represented to us
when we came. We opened our business ou the 7th day *of July, in what is
culled the dull season and from the very hour we threw our doors open our house
was crowded with customers anxious to spend what money they had and sorry
they had no more to spend. Ever since we have seen no dull times. The
Racket Store is a hive of industry, selling goods cheap for bright shining dollars.
What a nice business it is when we compare it with a piece of paper marked hisX
mark, which very often brings poor returns. To some people it seems mysterious
how we can sell goods so cheap, but to us it is very plain. When goods are
bought right jt is easy to sell them?there lies tho whole secret of success. No
matter whether it be in the mountains of North Carolina or in the great city of
New York we hear of a merchant falling under the- yoke of the credit system and
wants to seil his stock at a reduced price, our buyers never fail to go and see ,
them and very often purchases a fine stock of goods at from 30 to 50 cents on the
Jollar, below New York cost. There should be but little difficulty in selling
goods when bought at such figures.
Merchants who purchase goods through the regular channels of trade have to
pay too much for the honor to do so. We never look at the honor that comes to
us by purchasing any article at $2 00 if we can buy the same and just as good
for one dollar. What we glory in is to be able to sell goods cheap. We get the
mastery when we buy, ami keep it when we sell, by adding on our small profit
md stop When you purchase goods out of the credit, system ami pay, your
2ash has to help to pay for the man that never pays. No wonder there are so
many of the never paying class looking like howling wolves seeking their prey.
You sec the whole system is wrong, it is a wheel within a wheel, a combination
against the consumer. Look at it from the time the goods are manufactured, to
the jobber, from the jobber to the.; merchant, from the merchant to 3*011. in each
ind every transaction the tax of credit goes ou, lo country or no people can
withstand tt and be prosperous.
If will be the one aim of the Racket Store to try and induce as far as possible j
is. many as they can out of the credit system by selling them goods as cheap as j
ive can for cash, instead cd how iii^h for credit. New goods rolling in every day
"rota t!:.? slaughter pe.ua of credit Cotnc and see us; wc will prove what we say.
There is no reason why a !a?]y should pny two prices f.?r a bat or bonnet be 1
