WEDNESDAY) JTJ??E 20 1892. Into a Trap, ?- - The question ~of bow to keep the negro oat of our politics was for a loog time a living one in this State. It was at last solved by Edward McCrady, jtfV1"^"'*"" vifb tQ,e present eight box *a? registration law. A , Wyy*** **J* no* 48 strictly part of ^ %rf %|s sflftjee^ but aslan independent oh BervM^B; has anybody noticed bow the men who did the most for tbe State daring and since 1876 stand in tbis present contest? James L. Orr was the first man of tbe Wallace bouse in the starming of tbe State house tbat year; John 0. Sbeppard was close be hind him. Samuel Dibble led tbe forlorn hope ia the fight for congress io tbe theo black district. Wade Hamp ton :s on tbe same side witb them. Edward MoOrady, who devised and introduced tbe eight box law and gave us a guarantee of peace and securely so long as we stick togeather, was the first eigner of tbe thirteen call. Bat, to retarn : Tho eight box law made as safe so long as there- was I white unity. From a cooitioc of doubt ' und anxiety and a new fight every two years we passed into a feeling of serene .Becariy, and South Carolina was taken oat of tbe doubtful column and put in tbe list of States sorely and always democratic. - :'Ai a^cbrocic kicker, a neighborhood ^ oracle who sould improve everything while knowiog iittle of tbe facts of <?oytfcmg, B. R. Tillman, in 1888, sought to improve on the eight box law. In a letter to The News and Coarier he urged as one of the things to be done by a constitutional convention the adoption oj a property of educational qualification for voters. His friends talk of his, nerve. He -said at Barn well 'tbat if he believed a thing was right he would do it if every man in tbe State was against bim . But._be has not had tbe nerve to pro pose or support on the stump as a candidate what bo proposed and supported in the * newspapers as a citizen who would (be promised) accept do office but that of trustee of an ' agricultural college. The last senate adopted a resolution j calling a constitutional convention. ? proposed amendment requiring that the j work of that convention be submitted | to tbe people was defeated by Governor ! Tillman7? friends and supporters. The resolution failed in the house?the "driftwood" bouse?only because a two g< ,- thirds majority could not be mustered for it, tbe anti-Tillman men standiug fast against it. C ivri t slf Governor- Tillman is re-elected "with a legislature suit him," which he demands, tbe poor people of this coun try may find that they have been led into a cruel trap. The governor has shown and spoken his purposes. They are plain. If he contr?la the legislature tbe ? county government bill, proposed and ' defeated in the last legislature, will be . ?* passed. . The governor will then have control bf the legislature, of tbe courts, of the county governments. He will have the appointment of all tbe township road -commissioners, who will make the coun ty governments and control all con tracts, of tbe commissioners of the poor, of the jury commissioners and trial jus tices. With this power in his hands -sad the appointment of election com- j s missioners and control of the party machinery he will control the election of mashers of the constitutional con -vention. What does he want that convention "to do? m% Make a three dollars poll tax. Fix it so that anlese a man has a cer tain: amount of property or hits; a cer tain 'degree of education he shall not vote, shall have no voice in tbe choice of his government. Tbe poor white people are being led into a trap by tbe loud talk of the farm ers' government and popular rule. They are being put in a position where they will be helpless slaves, denied a vote, subject to the will of the rich or educated, deprived of ail privileges but paying tribute of three doliars a year for tho schools and being sold to con tractors' eight dave in every year for work on the public roads. There is a cunning claim that the whole thing is against tho negro. Thousands of negro farm hands work ing at $9 a month would rather stay ia jail twenty days and be fed and lodged than pay tbe $3 poll tax. Abolish the eight box law and fix an educational or property qualification. Then the white man who can not come up to the standard must pay ?3 a year to help the sods of colored parents to go to school and learn enough to vote while the white man is turned from the ballot box and left without voice or power. We arc doing very well as it is. Every white :naD has bis vote and the State.is securely democratic under the r; eight box law. Do yon want white men and demo ' crat3 to be denied the right to vote be cause they arc poor or have been unable to find means to learn to read and write, while negroes who La.7e gathered pro perty or teuueation ur-'ier tho govern ment white meu fought and have paid for walk freely to the polis? Do you want the laboring men of this State to be subkected to a three dollars r, - . poll tax? Do you want free white men and vSouih Caroliuians to be given into slavery eight days a year at fifty ceotg a day while their wealthier neighbors take their ease by paying ?1 50 commutation tax? If you want ail these things aud war against money and corporations to keep aud drive both our. of the State? Vote for B' R. Tillman f?r governor. ?Greenville News. Losses at St. Johns. St. Johns, N.

The Spartanburg Herald* has tbe news that President Strode of Clemson College has resigned^a-nd that political preference is at the bottom of it. In its article it says : "Some time ago, you remember, Prof. H. D. Strode was elected Presi dent of Clemson College. Long before it was necessary for him to be present he was installed at Foct.-^Hill. His selection and election was due largely to Governor Till man's choice, bat some how it soon transpired that President Strode was too high aman to-do the bidding of a boss, and he lost favor with the mighty Ben. "In that he dared on one occasion to exercise bis own judgement, he proved to be a driftwood in Tilimao's estima tion, and Prof. Strode was from that day a marked man. "With a persistence similar to that which he has used in trying to defeat certain Judges, he set to work to down the president of his owq choosing. There were no charges to prefer, so the Governor induced the board of trustees to stop the salary of the president. Notwithstanding the fact that Prof. Strode was induced to sever his connec tions elsewhere to come to South Caro lina, his pay-was suddenly topped in tbe mooih of Jone and s few days later his resignation was handed in." A: the Executive Department in Col umbia it was impossible says The State to eesure any information, as the resigna tion would have to go to President Simp son of the board of trustees. Some action taken by the trustees at their last meetiDg very likely did cause such a result. The Herald States that that most am bitious, and persistent seeker of office, W. Christie Benct, is to get the place. Who is Right About it ? The State. It seems very hard to get any facts about the rumored resignation of Presi dent Strode of Clemson college. All efforts in that direction about the State departments for several days have been futile, but yesterday the status of affairs that probably caused the resignation was ascertained. Governor Tillman, when applied to as a member of the board of trustees for information as to the action of the board in regaid to the president which was said to have caused the resignation, re ferred the representative of The State to Cheirman Simpson, at Pendleton. Secretary of State Tindall, another member of the board w*s then applied to. Mr Tindall said: The board found itself at its last meeting without funds to carry on any work and was not willing to continue Mr Strode a whole year at a large salary with nothing to do, when the other professors has been elected with a view to not drawing any pay until their services w?re actully needed, Mr. Strode's services had been needed last year to assist in tbe work of build ing and his salary was saved to the board because it would have had to employ some other man to do the work that the board had required of hi ta. So this is the reason, as given by the board, for the salary being stopped. Mr. Strode's side of the question has not yet been heard from. One thing, however, is pretty certain, the board has no money now to pay anybody or carry on the work, and all that is being done at the college is to keep the few couvicts there occupied. The agricultural station is kept going under another appropriation. Mr. Tindal says that if President Strode has resigned he-is not yet aware of it and intends to write at once and find out if he has. He docs not seem to doubt that he has. Th9 Register. President H. A. Strode, of Clem son college, has not resigued, several SiOuth ; Carolina papers to the contrary. Governor Tillman was seen, in his office -yesterday morning and asked if he had received any noti?oa?iou of the resignation of Professor Strode. "None whatever," was his reply. The secretary Ox state was also seen, and he al&o disclaimed any intimation of such action on the part of Cleinsoa's able preiidcut. The Register yesterday afternoon dispitehed a query to R. W. Simpson, chairman of the beard of trustees of the college, and received the following reply from that gentleman : "President Strode has just returned | from a visit to Virgiuia, and is in daily performance of his duties at Fort Hill. If he has resigned I know nothing cf it." While the report, ooming as it seem ed with some decree of authority, cre ated a great deal of surprise, few be lie :d that the resignation had been tendered. The st >ry was a canard from the whole do b. The negro population of many southern cities is rapidly increasing. The New Orleans Times-Democrat says : "in North Carolina, Asheville and Charlotte, up ::i the mountains, have a srnali white excess, but in Raleigh, Wilmington and Winston the negroes are weil ahead ; indeed, in Wilmington there are five negroes to three whites. Raleigh, the capital, presents a good picture of this change. The town was a white one in 1880. Since then there has been a considerable decrease in the colored population of the count}', Wake, because of emigration, but in j the town itself the negroes have j increased 46 5 per cent and are in a majority. Greenville, S. C, lias a j white m:>j',r;ty of 1 iO less that it had { j ten years ago ; but the other South Carolina towns have large colored majorities. This majority in Charles ton was i,577 in 11530 ; it is 7,117 today; and in Columbia it has in-j creased from 1,300 to 2 227 in the I iast ten years. Georgia makes a somewhat better showing, but even there the negroes are creeping up on the wh tos, and in Savannah a negro j majority oi 513 in lSb'O is 2,707 [ today. Jacksonville, Fla., was a I white town ten years ago, but its ! negro population has increased 117 I per cent in that time, and is now in a majority by 2,157, and in both Peusacola and Key West the negroes have almost doubled/' It's a poor ruie that won't work both ways. la assessing railroads the ad- ! ministration inquires what the roads ! cost ; iv. a.*30ssing bank stock it inquires I what the slock would bring ou the mar- ; ket.

Marion, July 9.?About ten days ago A. G. Animons was shot by some one in ambush. The shooting was at night and no one was present but the assailant and his victim. The weap on used was a double barrel shotgun, both barrels being discharged. At the last fire Mr. Amnions fell, and the assassin fled, doubtless supposing that Mr. Animons was a lifeless corpse in the road. Such, however, was not the case, and at first the wounds were not thought to be nec essarily fatal. Tho wounded man could form no opinion as to the person of his would be assassin. lie had no personal enemy, and reasoned that he must have been mistaken 'for another. Tracks, however, were noticed about the place of the shooting, and traced in the direction of a house in tlie community but such were the rela tions between the person thus indi cated and the wounded man that it would seem to contradict the remot est suspicion or the barest possibility of his guilt. Other circumstances, however, were 6oon disclosed, which were of such damaging character as to force the conclusion that A. G. Animons had been shot by his own brother, E. R. Ammons. The com munity became indignant, and a few days ago a warrant was sworn out against E. R. Ammons for assault and battery witb intent to kill, but he was released on bail. This morning it was ascertained that the condition of the wounded man was very critical. The accused was surrendered to the authorities, and is now in jail, where he will be held to await further developments. Second Crop of Irish Potatoes. Lay aside all the small potatoes from the size of an hulled walnut down to that of a small hickory nut, as the crop is dug iu June or early in July. Accumulate as many seeds as it is desired to plant and expose them to the sun until they assume a green ish cast. Then take aud clip off the seed end of each small potato, throw ing this clipping away. Near a well or other convenient source of water, scoop cut a place in the soil eight or ten inches deep and line the same with straw or leaves. Spread out the potatoes in this hollow three or four inches deep; cover them with a little straw and then thtow in several inches of soil. Wet the seed before covering with soil from time to time, every day for a few days. If rain does not fall on the bed, apply enough water to keep the potatoes steadily moist. After ten days have expired, begin to watch fcr their sprouting and as soon as this is indicated have tbe soil made ready to receive the seed. Ilave the land well plowed ^nd the furrows laid off in good time. If a rain oc curs to wet this open furrow just as the seed potatoes have sprouted (sprouts just started to grow so they will not break oQ in handling) it will be a decided gain in starting the crop to drop the potatoes in the furrows as soon after tbe rain as can be done and not too wet to plow. Drop the seed every fifteen inches and press them firmly into the mellow soil with the fooL Then with a turn shovel run a farrow, each side of the seed furrow, and far enough off to make a square bed over the seed. By this operation moisture will be conserved to the use of the already sprouting potatoes to bring them up in ten days or two weeks if another rain should occur in a week after planting. On naturally moist soil, rain may be deferred some weeks without inter fering with germination. When the potatoes are up keep the soil stirred shallow. If the necessary plant food is supplied the second crop will be much larger than the the first one. A trial of this plan will show that a sec ond crop is more easily grown than you now think.?Southern Farm. The Circulation Expert It is currently reported, and said to he a fact, that William McCrady j itudgers, circulatiun expert, has j pubiicly declared that he will vote for Harrison before he will for Cleve land. Rodgers was atsist?ut secre tary of the last county democratic convention and at the time declared he would not vote for Cleveland if nominated. At' that time he also declared that he vuted for Chamber lain 1814 against the fusion nominee for governor.?Greenville News. -I IB- - Potato Meal. [Kairi* 'J. New3 Herald.] Mc.-srs. Editors : A few weeks ago I wrote an article to the Cotton Plant recommending the manufacture of sweet potato meal as food both for man and beast. Exprerimonta made and facts ascertained since its publieation, have convinced me that the subject is really of more itaportaneet than I had supposed although I had no doubt of its practicaS'ity and utility at the time I wrote. There is yet ample time io which t.o increase the potato crops and I urge the importance of doing so on our farmers. Chemists tell us that potatoes compared with corn arc as 31 to one, or that one bushel of com is equal to 3J of potatoes as they come out of the ground. JSiicci and kiln-dried one bushel of potatoes is coin! to one bushel of corn. Any farmer will corroborate the statement tha?? an acre which will produce ten bu.-he?s of corn c mid be safely counted on to yield one hundred bushels of sv7eet potatoes, which dried, j as above, would amount to 2S-4 7 ! bushels of eoru, or an increase over i 0 bushels of cr.rn of 1S-4-7 bushels. Practically then the ecru aereage of the potato growing seetiou of the couutry, if planted in potatoes, would increase the amount of food product aoubt three times. Most persons still have some of the last years crop on hand : let me ask thcrn to select about a dozen, slice them about one half inch thick, dry in sun away from flics, aud grind io your coffee mills passing through twice or until the meal is a about as One as corn meal. Then beat three egz* with half cup j of sugar, a spoon full of butter, one cup j sweet mil-Ik, and half oup of tho potato i meal. Bake without crust in a pan aud tho product is the most delicious eus- j tard over fa-r.cJ auJ ?r;<;r.<;h for 3 or 4 pcrsous. Hut its great value is for stock. Mules, horses, cows, hogs and poultry are very fond of it. My sGhonio is to brush by machinery the dirt, off potatoes, then without peel ing alicj t) machiuery -ho, dry in c i kiln erected for the purpose, then Ei'ind in mill made to suit, and instead if putting up our crops ia banks and eellars to rot, put it in bags and bar rels for home use and for export; mak ing it practicable and profitable to ship to distant markets without the risk of frost and divested of tbe great bulk of water which adds so much to freights, [n a future article I will go more into the details of my plan, having accom plished tbe object in view by calling attention to tbe important matter of planting large crops. T. W. Woodward. Danger at the Lunatic Asy lum. In its insurance column under the heading "Defect in a Large Risk/' the New York Commercial Bulletin prints the following : The State lunatic asylum at Colum bia, S. C, has been recently inspected by the electrician cf the South Eastern Tariff association, and he finds that although the former electrician cf the association discovered defects cf a serious nature in tlia risk as far back as May, 1890, they up to the present time are unoorreeted. Some day after a great loss of life by Gre in these institutions States officials will see that their policy of economy is not in tbe interest of humanity. Companies on this risk will probably demand improvement as the wire used in the iustitution 19 practically without insulation, and electrician reports need "immediate attention." On July 12th Cyrus W Field passed away at his home in New York City, at an advanced age-. He was the first man to ever have laid a cable aeross the At lantic Ooean. It was regarded at the time as a great achievement. He was a man of ability and marked personal characster and deserves to be remem bered by his fellow countrymen. He was a brother of Justice Field, of the Supreme Court of the United States, and of David Dudley Field, an eminuet New York lawyer, and of Martyn Field, a distinguished Presbyterian divine, and author. It is rare.y the case you will find four brothers of equal distinction and ability to these brothers Field._ W. T. G. Goodson, of Darlington county, wrote a letter to the Darlington News last week renouncing his allegi ance to Tillman, concluding his letter with the following remarks: "Two years ago I was a whole soul Tillman man, but since that time I have seeo the mistake I made. I have asked the people to forgive mo and I believe they have done so. I have asked God to forgive me and I trust He has done so. I hope to hear of other converts." Col. Peter Rucker, the organizer and leader for Tillman in Columbia two years ago and until recently, has come out in a card for Sheppard. Among other things Colonel Rucker says : I have seen Mr. Tillman aud Mr. Earle, bat am like tho feile?? two yeare ago, I have almost strained my eyes oat to see Mr. Reform for the last two years, but have never seen him yet." According to Mr. Edward Atkinson the American people arepay ing $70, 000,000 on the iron andsteel they use, in consequence of the tariff, and yet there are more unemployed workmen in the iron manufacturing districts of Pennsyl vania than there ever were. But we are told that this tariff tribute ensuros work and good wages the workman. Oh, What a Cough. Will you heed the warning.
