" Voters should remember that the polls close at 4 p. m. on next Tuesday. Don't put off voting until it is too I Me. Every voter is expected to do bis full duty at the primary next Taesday. That doty is te vote himself, and see that his friends and neighbors go to tbe polls and do likewise.. Sneppard, Orr and Youmans, assisted by j the other eonserTative candidates, hare made j 9 gallant fight from one end of tbe State to tbe other. Tbey hare quitted themselves like BMO sad we congratulate them. Tbe Greenville 3??, the State and the iVeiM and Courier deserve lasting praise for their able and persistent fight against Tillmanism. If THhaaa if defeated it will bo doe in a great measure to tbe efforts of these papers to ex pose tbe failure of Tllhnan to fa?f.ll bis prom ises, snd to enlighten the people as to tbe true situation in tbe State. Mr. John F. Kelly gave tbe people rome good, sound sense in regard to tbe road law oo Toesday. He favors good roads and wants them to be kept up by taxation, but not the sort of taxation proposed in the Tiil man road law, which taxes those able to pay, $1.50 io money, and those not able to pay, 8 days work, which at the lowest estimate would be $4. Cleveland and Stevenson are the nominees of tbe Democratic party ; Sheppard and Orr are the natural representatives of that ticket In South Carolina ; Tiliman himself declared that Cleveland, if nominated, coald not carry tbe State; therefore vote for Sheppard and Orr, carry the State for Cleveland and Ste venson, and vindicate tbe democracy of South Carolina. President Harrison signed a bill a short time ago which disqualifies any but white men from giving evidence in cases relating to tbe exclusion of Chinese. It would appear that be and bis Republican associates discount tbe ability of tbe brother io black to speak the truth even when under oath. So much fer Harrison's friendship for the negro. It evidently does not extend beyond the vicinity of the ballot box. Tbe Tillmanites recognize the fact that their only hope of carrying Sumter lies in polling their utmost streogtb and in the negligence of tbe Conservatives. The Tiilmanites are workiog early and late, their speakers do not confine themselves to the regular meetings, bat are addressing various meetings of their faction in different parts of the county. !f the Conservatiyes do not rouse themselves and tarn out to aman on election day they will cause tbe loss of Sam ter County to Sheppard and Orr. Daring last week a state of war existed in tbe coal regions of Tennessee between the miners and a small body of militia stationed there as a guard for tbe convicts employed in one of tbe mines. At first the miners had j everything their own way and captured sev eral companies of militia sent in as reinforce ments. It was only by the most desperate eon rage that Capt. Anderson and his few men held tbe met against the misers. But when sev eral strong bodies of troop3 were ordered to the field the miners promptly surrendered, and tbe trouble is now put down for a time. Six soldiers were killed and a number of others wounded ; while tbe miners suffered greater Toe State Campaign closed at Laarens on Saturday. We are glad the meetings are over with, for throughout the entire time we bare keen fearfa 1 of a riot in which lives would be Jost. On t w whole, however, we believe that tbe meetings have been the means of eclight estsg tbe vettere of tbe State, and that good bat eaeetqeentlj resulted from them. The Laarens meeting was disorderly, the Conser vative speakers were frequently interrupted aad Sheppard was bow M down. At one time while two individuals were engaged in a fight, weapons were drawn, and a general row seemed imminent. It is such occurrences, alone, that prevent tbe meetings from being tbe means of enlightenment and education that tbey are intended and ought to be. The -riot at tbe Newberry meeting was a disgraceful affair, for which tbe people at tending the meeting bare themselves to blame. Youmans or any cos else bas a perfect right to ask aay question of any of tbe candidates, - Oov. Tiliman not excepted, and be bas the right to expect ?tb*r as ooswer, or a respect ful refawi. Gov. Tiihnan's reply to Col. Youmans proves him to be guilty of tbe very charge which be attempted to fasten on You mans. If Youmans has ever said or done anything during his campaign, or before, that would stamp him as a blackguard, neither the Register, State nor Neve and Cou rier has ever made a record of it io their re ports of tbe meetings. It may be, however, that Gov. Ti-lmaa considers Youmans a blackguard because be exposes his duplicity, and his attempts to induce Youmans to be- ; come a party to his slanders of past admiais- \ .rations, and to aid and abet bim in bis efforts to divide tbe people into hostile and bitterly prejudiced factions; all for the purpose of gaining for himself political preferment and office. DODGING THE ISSUE There is an apparent intentton on the part of tbe Tiiimaoile candidates for tbe Legislature to dodge tbe real point of issue of the Constitutional Convention and the $3 poil tax. They claim that tbe poll tax cannot be i increased without an amendment to the constitution, and that an amendment cannot be passed save by a two-thirds vo'e of the : Legislature, after which it must be submitted to a vote of the people for ratification before ! J it becomes a law. This is all true enough as i far as it goes. If the poll tax should be in- < creased to three dollars by this means no one < would make the slightest objection, for then '. it would be a burden voluntarily a?tume;i, ; , unjust and unequal a3 it would bear upon : different individuals. But suppose ?b? ; 1 proposed Const:tutioca! Convention is called without provision for submitting i?3 work to ! . tbe people for ratification?it will be remem- 1 bered that such a provision, off-red by a | ! Straightout from Ricbland County w?? voted j . down by the Tillmanites in the lait Legisla- ; . ture?then this convention can increase the [ ; poll tax, and the people will have no chance to j 1 ay whether tbey are willing to pay the j 1 increased tax or not. It is this phaee of j . tbe question that the gent;em*m dodge, and j / just io this phtse the danger lies, it i3 on i ' this groond th*.t the Conservatives are fight- j log it, and it is jast and tenable ground too. j , So with tbe 2 mill school tax. This tax j ! was not in tbe original Constitution, but was * put in it as an amendment by the Legislature ! , after Hampton's election and ratified by the j { people. This tax can be abolished only 1 bv a constitutional amendment or by the ' adoption of" - ne-.v constitution leaving out this tnx. Mr. John G-try Evans, a ranking 9i Jfl- A lieutenant in the Tillman ranks attempted to abolish this tax by an amendment but failed. Now we find him advocating a new constitu tion, and bis faction voted against submitting the proposed constitution to the voters of the State. We have the aetion of these leaders of the TiUmanites as reasons for believing that they want to abolish the 2-rai!l school tax and iocrease the poll tax, and that they wish to do these things without submitting to the people for ratification. This is the issue and cannot be dodged. Are these men afraid of the verdict of the voters of South Caro lina? _mmimmmm 18 KOT THIS BIN G BOTE P We hare heard aa endless amount of talk about ring rule in Sutnter County from the Tillman candidates since the campaign began, and the peculiar feature of it is, that it is of the ring that was.'and not of the ring that is, that they talk. It strikes us that it is all talk and nothing more. But if there is not some sort of a ring in existence now, then the signs are all wrong. If the caucus held yesterday to rule certain candidates out of the primary does not sug gest a riog, then it is a sign of bossssm, which to worse. If candidates wbo have come out for office of their own volition are to be told by a cau cus or a boss, that they cannot have the priv ilege of going before a democratic primary, theo we have fallen into a 6ad state. Have we a ring is Suinter County? or bas Thoma? a ring ia the nose of Sumter County? In either case it is a bad state of affairs, as Thomas is leading a portion of the people whither he will; and so some one has said of Tillman, he is not the sort of man we would chose to be found with if Judgment Day should arrive. How to Cure Pea Vine Hay. AxxisTON, Ala., Aug. 16, 1892. Editor Watchman and Southron: I am in receipt of a request from a reader of your paper, who has a fine lot of peavines, for me to give through your columns my method of curing peaviue hay. The first thing to consider is the proper stage for cutting, and this is determined by the proportion of grass among the vines. If all peas or very little grass, not enough to be of any cons?quence, the best time to cat is after blooming when about one-third of the pods are turning yellow, but before the leaves be?in to fall. You then have some ripe peas that will cure without shelling and the bal ance in the state for table use, and snaps. Cut at this stage, peuvine hay comes nearer to being a balanced ration than any other one stock food. Experience has proven this and it is backed by chemical annlysi3made by Dr. W. B. Burney as shown in the S. C. State Chemists' Reports of three or foor years ago. On the other band the grasses and clovers should be cut when ia bloom for the best bay. So we must keep the difference in view in deciding when to cut a field of hay: if all, or nearly all grass cut, when in bloom ; if all, or nearly ai! peas, cut at time indicated above: and if nearly equally mixed with gras3 and peas, cut at stage that will insure : the largest amount of good hay from both. Having determined upon the stage of i growth when the hay should be cut, the ntxt thing is to watch the weather and try to hit on good, hot sunshine for the curing. Some times you may bave to wait until the best stage has passed, but this is heiter than Jo have a week's rain on a field of mown hay. A hard shower or even a hi,: rain if followed by clear weather rarely injures hay more than to discolor it slightly, if it is properly han dled afterward. The stage of maturity, the 1 rankness of growth, and whether it ?3 cloudy or fair, Tr.ast be considered In determining when to rake after cutting. The fiuesl hay I ever cured was cut betweea 8 o'clock and 4 p.m. Rnke started just as the mowers were leaving the field, and wagons started the next morning about 10 o'clock when thoroughly dry ef dew. Ai though not more thnn wilted it was picked away on a barn loft, (rai!3 ! being laid two feet apart across the j usts) and salted down. (Jnc man was kept on the ] hay all the time, and packed it down as tight as possible, filling up to the comb before starting another section. (TMs hay was just I at the right stage for putting in ventilated { stacks ?n the field which I will describe later.J | ; The lower floor was then filled with hay that wa3 cured in the field as follows : Raked < up the morning after it was mowed, and that vening piled in cocks five or six feet in diam- j eter, and six or seven feet high, being carefui j not to pack, rounding up nicely, and putting ' ! a big forkful on top for a Cnp. Some of these cocks stood in the fields two weeks, and had | < two hnrd rains on them and none were dam- ] aged except where topplrd over by the wind. < These rains were not continuous, and bright sunshine followed soon after. Where one Ins < plenty cf house room, but cannot give it ven- I Uiation a* oo a toft, this is the best way to rare hay. Sometimes it may be necesrary to open the cork? for a few hours, but always recock it before night to keep out the dew. When ready to pack away it i3 not nece3sary j , to wait for the dew to dry eft" the cocks, but I the wagous may start at sunrise. If there is i no grass among the vines, i would no: like to I risk a big rain ou the cocks, but would want j j it stacked permanently or put on a barn loft. To rare in a?acks : Buiid a pen six or eigiit rails high, or put four strong crotches in the < ground, so that floor will be 18 inches to 2 feet ' clear, Boor with rails or poles 12 inches apart. In the center of pen put up a 16 feet 1 pole, and around pole nail eight braces ten , feet long, spread them at bottom so that there will be a flue three feet in diameter at floor. On this pen and around the flue, pack the 1 bay, keeping inside a little higher and pack- . icg it cioeer than outside. When above where the braces are nailed to pole, pack around pole to top. I usually carried the 1 sides np nearly perpendicular to a level with top of fine and then draw in to top. Make a rope of grass and vines and tie up a big cap, i force this over the lop of pole which should be clear of knots and sharp to allow the cap to settle as the hay cures, force it down as 1 tight as possible, and in a week or two, if ' the cap does not settle with stack force it down again. ? bad bay put up in this way that took the weather for 18 mouths and was as bright and sound as the day it was stacked. And the peas iu it did not have a gign of a weavii about them. The loss (rom exposure on out side te the weather was hbout too hundred < pounds to the stack ot from sixteen ^ I GOO ) hundred to two (2000) thousand pounds each Put up this way there is very little danger of fire it :s not in the way ; you can haul , in a stack whenever needed. If the sides are , carried up nearly vertical for seven or eight teet cattle tcay eat a great deal out around the t-o'tora without danger of the inside being j dannged by the wea'her. And I will guarantee a be.ie of" cotton per j acre the next season where one ot these stacks ; has stood six or e;ght months. I never lost any bay put up this way ex- j eppt iu '88. Theu the peas were sown as J late as 16th July, and after being badly nip- J ped by host, were cut while still in bloom. I it all rotted iu epite of all I could do to save j it. Last year I Mied curing in ricks instead of ' stacks. Pat up a pule on fork3 five feel high ; on this laid other po'ea two feet ?part, one end res in>r on the ground about twelve feet on each side of the re i'?r pole. Mj best lot of hay, i ? it?re', ! tried *o stack jn a r:ck of this sort fifty fret io:ig But m e [ jf the f';-".s gave way and threw the whole j rick ou? of sbftpe, and ? was oo ?>ii~y to tear tt down and re? ciid, and 1:;.- consequence was i total ioss of the hay.
