EL, Willcox, ofC. L. Mon tague & Co., has successfully demon strated that the finest grades of Havana tobacco can pe raised at what will seem to the general farmer an enormous profit to the grower. From fifteen acres devoted to to bacco culture this year, Mr. Willcox will realize $1,500 clear of all ex penses, an average of $100 per acre. His total outlay per acre for seed, fertilizers, labor, etc, was about $50, or less than is generally expended in raising truck. But for the mistakes natural to a beginner, and the devas tation wrought by the grasshoppers, Mr. Willcox's crop would have netted him between $300 and $600 per acre, or from $4,500 to $0,000 on the fifteen acres planted. In all proba bility lltere is no other Southern product from which the same amount of money could be realized on the same land. Mr Wilicox is confident that with the same acreage, with this season's experience, he could next }rear make on the average fully $400 per acre, lie discovered, after the grass hop pers had done considerable damage to the crop, an easy way of effectually ridding the fields of ihose pests, lie planted too late this year, and so lost the second crop, and committed other j errors which tended to either in iure I tiie quantity or quality of the crop He is well satisfied with the results, though, especially as experts have pronounced the leaves the equal in every respect of the best grown in Florida or Decatnr County, Georgia, and he has been informed that there is a ready market for them any lime he sees fit to sell at $1 to ?2 pet pound. THE FIRST FAIR TEST. Mr. Willcox's plantation?known as \Vilic?x & O'Neili's place?is one of the finest in South Carolina. It em b:?cc-s 2,000 acres of woodland and cultivated soil. A large part of it is in a fi;.e slate of culture, over fifty acres bei;;g given up to pears, peaches anct other fruits. Tho results from the orchards, like (he results from the tobacco fields, are lecoguiz^d everywhere as the best in the State. Some time ap;o Mr. Wilcox became convinced that if to bacco raising were given a fair trial in that section of the State, il would be shown 1<> be not only a possible, I bu* a highly profitable crop. Experi ! rncnts have been made in the past in I other sect ions of the State, but either through a bad selection of ground or inadequate attention, the results have been generally unsatisfactory, lie determined to give tobacco- u fair jhauce on his place, and accordingly set aside fifteen acres of the best land for it. He also erected necessary buildings lor curing purposes. The seed wc;s secured through! Editor Ben R?sseli, of the Bainbiidge j}emocraT. If. was the Uveita Abajo variety, one of th;3 fme6t grown in Cuba. A pound of seed, which ct sis $16, is sufficient to plant more than fifteen acres. That which Mj. Wili cox obtained was no mure carefully elected than other seed of the same character, of which there is probably plenty on hand for prospective plant ers. He prepared the ground with care, making up a special fertilizer ior it. Dr. O'Neill, who manages the plantation, supervised all I he arrange ments for the planting, and devoted considerable lime to watching the growth of the plants and studying their development. When curing time came an expert was brought from Florida to superin tend the work. As aie ult of all this Mr. Wilicox is able to place on the market a wrapper that for aroma and I other desired qualities, is unexcelled j by any raised in the United States, j He has not determined yet whether I he will sell the tobacco or place two I or three skiilful eigarmakes on the plantation and have them make it up and place their product on the mar ket. He is a firm believer in home industries, and will probably adopt this plan as tending to still further encourage tobacco grooving in that portion of South Crrolina. TO P PILE AD OUT NEXT YEAR Mr. Willcox will further demon j strate faith in tobacco next year by j giving up about seventy-five acres to j it. He will also put up a saw mil! soon to cut timber for several new p ;:N!::igs he will erect especially for i tobacco curing, lie will secure a I now suppl y of seed for the greater i part of liie next crop, but will make ; , to what extent. Mr. Ivos, Dr. Smith, Mr. A.P. LhwIoo and others along the South Bound have also experimented with tobacco, on a smaller scale, with I satisfactory results, and next year will likewiseextend th?ir operations Other planters in the vicinity have 1 announced their intention >f planting tobacco also and as a suit there will donbih ss be \ei : hnndr? ! ac s devoted to it! culture hei-jabou; nextyear: Savannah is na'u rally ^rcaiiy in terested in the success < tho sie* crop T.'iis city the market Lo which all tobacco is raised along the South Bound will find ils way. l! its cii.oore ussu.'."i<-H hir. dimension*, as now seems probable, this city will oe irre??t?y benoiitteo weil us i^,? planters ?Savannah ^ \-. The Proof on Weaver Managing Editor J. W. Bowdeo, of the Cotton Plant, Bays that Third Party Electors will soon bo pat out in this State and an attempt made to take its vote from Cleveland and give it. to Wea ver. As there is some Third Party leaven even iu as goad a county as Barn well the following letter from a Georgia lady is interesting reading and should be convincing to everybody who has any recollection or knowledge- of Sherman's Hammers : Tallapoosa.Ga., Aug. 23. To the Editor of the Journal: ? see in your issue of Saturday, the 20th inst., an extract from a letter written by an old citizen of Pulaski, Tenu.; also a copy of a clipping from I the Giles County Democrat of the I 20th of Jnly, charging Gen. Weaver, j the People's party candidate for ! President, with beastly cruelty to wards the citizens of. Pnlaski and Giles county while in command of the Union army at that place in 1854. I can fully substantiate a number of the charges contained therein, and could add many others of like char actor, all from my own recollection. Although quite 3roung at the time such a state of terror as we were kept iu by this brute in human form made an indcllible impression upon my mind. My father, Dr. Perkins, was living in Pulaski at this time. Our house, my grand-mothers^ (Mrs. Dr. Ord way, now of Nashville), and Maj. Jones' a relative of ours, were used as officers' quarters. VVc were all subjected to many insults. Maj. | Jones'family were ordered out of their I house at about 12 o'clock on a bitter j cold night in December. They ] were not allowed time to dress, j ; Mrs Jones had to wrap her sick child in bed clothing and cany it in j ! her arms to a neighbor's. house. 1 Many acts of barbarous cruelty com mitted on my relatives and friends are fresh in my memory. Men of the highest standing, both young and old, were thrown into prison, kept there for months, and some shot down like dogs with never a charge entered against them. Ladies were insulted on the streets ?it was indeed a reign of terror. Such acts of vandalism and ctime I have never even read of in a civil ized country. All of it was done by the order or with the consent of Gen. Weaver. Mrs. Axxie E. IIall. The Pulaski, 3'cnn., Democrat pub lishes the following leaf from J. B. Weaver's war record ; General Weaver, while in command at Pulaski, in January, 1SG4. issued an order to Charles C. Abersathy, John H. Nawfcil],Eobcrt Rhodes and others that rioy pay into his bands ?1,900 for die- maintenance of refus?es An can in 2 negroes arid renegades frotrj Alabama.) Tbl? order wa- accompanied by the threat that if the money was not paid , uScy and their families would be scut ? south and their property given to said refugees. Ail of rhe?j parties are dead now. and were over sixty years oid when that order was :-j<;ued. Can any southern man vote for such a heartless man : A man by the name of C. \V. Witt sold Mr. Jarper Cox. a very poor man, two thousand poands of baooa,. for which be received the cash-. Mr. Cox took the bacon to the cotton mills in Lawrence county and traded it for eot tou twist. This he carefully stored ! away in iofr. of his little cabin, thinking it would assist him in purchasing a lit tle home after the war. as he was very poor wirh a largo fa01and had no home. Weaver loarued through some source that this gentleman had the cot ton twist, and scut a detachment of sol diers to his home and took possession of it, and shipped it to Iowa for his own use. The cotton twist was worth at the time- it was Fto'en $2,000 Jasper Cox is living iu Giics Coun ty John P. Williams, a poor but highly respected farmer in Giles County, and twenty-6ve fat bogs, which at tho time were worth ?10 per hundred gross, had a lot of turkeys. Weaver, in person, took a file of soldiers into William's place aud made the soldiers shoot every hog on the place and had them brought iuto camp. When Wilhams asked for a voucher Weaver said: 4il don't give j rebels in the South vouchers i would rather furnish rope to han? every d?n one of them.'" Mr. Williams is still living and will swear to the above if accessary. The hogs were valued at ?750. The turkeys belonged to Mrs. Wil liams, and she bogged to have them spared, but the heartless wretch had them all killed and taken to headquar ters for his own ;;pcciai use, remarking to Mr?. Williams that she had no busi ness beir.g the wife of a rebel. Weaver made it a practice to charge cur citizens 10 cents cacti for passes to come into and go out of the federal lines. This money he put into his own pockets. This pass road as follows. "Pa93 tho bearer through the federal lines. J. Ii Weaver. Commander." Iriore About the Third Party. Columbia, S, C, Septcmfiei 2 ?

Governor Tillmau has won his fight. He has been renorainated and has gotten what lie asked, "a legisla ture to suit him." His opponents have done their duty nobly. They have gone to the polls and registered their solemn protest against the one man power in South Carolina, and now that the people have decided to take two years more of Tillmanism, his former opponents will be found doing battle in the fore front for democracy if opposition should arise. Politics is a great passion. In exciting campaigns like that through which we have just passed, this passion is masterful, swaying the minds of the people like speils of mad ness and absorbing all other feelings. The politician has no easy lot at best Whether he Reeks that field for his own gain or is impelled by a sense of duty, the result is' alike disastrous lto peace of mind and hap piness. A triumph today may on the morrow be defeat. The man who comes forward just now on his own merit, who refuses to make extravagant promises, who looks not to the petty issues which incite prejudice and hate, but applies him8eli to the discussion of issues of real importance, will be defeated. His opponent is not so scrupulous. He has a speech to suit his audience, a platform to please the people, and by fanning a lurking prejudice into a flame, by an appeal to passion, he be comes for the moment a hero, and before the cthusiasm has abated is safely wafted into the haven of office ? j There was a time when men sought office and were elected because of ! I heir fitness to perform the duties ! required. There was a time when a ; man could go upon the hustings and j speak his honest convictions on ques tions of public policy without fear or favor, and by reason of his frankness, courage and honesty, he was a power in politics and civilization. Tbetc was a time when the man who sought an undue advantage by secret caucus and midnight assem blages was branded as unfit to stand as the representative of a free and intelligent people. The time was when personal integrity, personal worth and ability, counted more than the favors of an individual. And j such a time is last coming back again and ils progress is only hastened by the methods and results of the cam paign just closed. From a sweeping majority in two years the vote was rendered close. .More tnan a thousand men in Spar j tanburg county alone who voted for ? Tillmau in ISO), voted against him in j 1892 In the ?rst instance he waa ! new, his campaign was bold, aggress- ' j ivo and vigorous. lie made many I promises and the people desired to j give him a tiiai. They were charmed j with his platform and professions. Two years Inter'ne was called to j j give an account of his stewardship : ! he explained by throwing all blame j on his opponents and those legislators ? who refused to be Iiis servile tools in ! the law-making branch of the govern ment. ?le is given another triaL and let us hope that he will profit by his fail ures and be the governor of the whole people. Let us hope that he will lay aside bitterness and abuse, that the leopard will change his spots. The Herald proposes to treat Gov ernor Tillmau fairly in all its crit icisms. We will give him credit when credit 1*3 due and censure when in our judgment it is deserved. While we opposed Governor Till man's re-election and the election of the caucus ticket placed in the field in this county, we look upon thmn I now as the nominees of the demo i cratic party and accountable for their j individual acts as public servants. ! Our policy towards them will be praise where it is due and ceneure when de served. But enough of politics ! We have accepted the ticket prepared and will work for it if necessary, but just now the great thing for South Carolinians to do i? 10 forget the bitterness of this campaign. I Let us go to work.

Lawlessness and Lynching on the Increase. ; Liwlessa33S, whether on the side of I right or wrung, is hud, and should be ; denounced by all liberty-loving people. ; Anarchy is bur. the liberty to trample j upon the right? of others in violation of ' the law.s of the i.in.i. Our interests and our pr?judices too frequently render us blind to ii.justice that is being done, and L-.specii:ily unmindful of the danger eus and ruinous results of weakening t!:-j force and lowering the dignity of law. Without la?;, society becomes a mob and po se: >i m the resuit of supe rior strong-h and force. Strikers have a perfect right to quit si r'? i ' us? all legitimate means dater others from doing so, but- they j b.*vc tight to use force and violence. This lawlessness is all wrong, and will inevitably grow into anarchy unless it is stopped very scon. Thj resort to mob law is growing mon sommeil, is seems every day. it has como to that, if au cutrage of an exasperating kind is committed, and a man is charged with the. crime, there is danger of his being murdeaed by the mob. Tho lynching is not all confined to the South, tier are all the victims ne gro,'/ by any means. The same hein ous ;iri:r bring the same results ' whether the skin be lii.:e.k or white, or! whether the perpetraiiea bz >orth or: South.

The press of the country should raise such a howl along :\-.t line iw wiii turn the tide, if possi hie. Ami lawyers at bat, i! somc ti m: by overroacaiog iu interests charged, they thwart or retard the ac complishment of justice, are only help ing on the forces that are gathering strength and acceleration toward the overthrow of the liberties and tho very life of the nation. The preservation of the law in its power to protect but to inspire confidence in its efficiency, and a zeal for its dignity, is essentiaf to the maintenance of peace and prosperity in any country. This war between labor and capital has nothing short of anar chy and ruin in it, and the sooner the danger is appreciated the better for all. What the country needs is sterner and more inflexible courts and a judici ary that will not tolerate any practicing at the bar by which even justice may be endangered. The dignity of the oourts must be maintained if life, liberty and property are to remain secure.?Raleigh Evening Visitor. -? t ? am Tillman's Advice. The entire money due this State from the Morrill fund arrived yesterday and has been placed in the State Treasury, subject to the order of the trustees of Clemson College and Claflio University. The amount is something over ?66 000. Now that the moDcy has been ob tained and is available there is a com plication. Governor Tillman, as soon as it got here, wrote to Col. R. W. Simpson, the chairman of tho board of trustees of Clemson CoHege, advising him to call a meeting of the board to be held at once. The act forbids the use of a cent of the money for building and repair purposes, aud that is all that it is needed for at Cicmsoa ecliego now. The college has no buildings and no money can be used for that purpose. Governor Tillman says that his idea is that the fund can be misapplied now by the trustees and used io the erection of the buildings, being refunded, of course, in the fail, when other money will be available. He says that he will urge such action upon the trustees at their meeting, but Le cannot say what they will do. This is the only way he can see for Clemson College to get out of the woods for the present.?The State, Sept, 7. The Officiai Prohibition Fig ures.

The prcseuce of a ?holera ship in the bay is certainly7 m pleasant, and the probability that ther lisease will in gome way reach tbr? city before cold weather comes to shut i? ?ut is discomforting, bat, taking it at its worst and admitting that there wilF ie cases of cholera, is there any cause" for p.-.nic ? The worst epiderares of cHoieri' ffHiob1 Slave ever stricken the city and which' 2ame early with the whole' summer before ?hem have been less deadly than1 tue grippe. The deatns from' cb?lert*? in the terrible scourge of ?849 were* 5,071, and in i860 they reached 1,837,* bot in both of these canes the disease^ had opportunities to spread, which- if will not have now. In the first placS, the health department is much better' prepared to grapple with the disease' than it was fifty or even twenty-live* years ago, and in the next fhfe tfre lateness of the season will large!/aid? the health of?cers ia exterminating' th?" disease if it should obtain a* foothold. In view of these fac's, there dees'not seem to be just cause for any great alarm, although there is cause for vigilance. The American Druggist; in an article on the cholera scare, makes the following statements, which are" worthy the consideration of those who' are unduly alarmed : "A great many people are giving" themselves unnecessary trouble about* cholera. The disease is only formida-" ble where inadequate means exist for grappling with ii, and iu this country we are fully prepared for it. While it may be well enough to quarantine the' low class of immigrants that have been reaching us from the infected district'* ia Kussia and Germany, or shufc them oi-f altogether for a time, there is no sense in people being panicstricken here any more than they have been in France and Spain, where the cholera has* prevailed more or less for several years; The visitation is likely to be leas' sefiott?f hers from the fact that we ate just entering the cooler months of the year? when cholera germs are comparatively harmless. No person need fear the" cholera if he exercises ordinary care in diet, cleanliness and sanitary surround togs That prudence should be exercised in eating and drinking, and that every thing possible should be done to keep oat the cholera, no one will question, but there is no occasion for panic and there is little likelihood of serious trouble from the disease where clean liness and proper care are exercised.?" Pbiladephia Ledger. Through a Thresher The news of a terrible tragedy comes from near Cato, Cuyahoga county, New York. It appears that a boy while cutting bundles of wheat for a threshing machine accidentally cut the feeder's hand, which so iu furiated hitr that he immediately caught np the boy and threw hint into the rapidly revolving cylinder where he was ground to atoms before* anyone present could* raise a ha*nd to* prevent, fhe brother of the unfor tunate lad witnessed the Mo?dy deed and lost no time iu wreaking veug? nnce upon the murderer. II? felled him to the floor with a blow from a pitchfork and while he lay writhing from the effects thereof, the frrotrier repeatedly plunged the foik throngft his body, net c'e?d?ug until he was dead Ail the threshing hands stood by and witnessed the tragic ?e?lhe which occurred so quickly that they were powerless to interfere. The cotton year closed a weefc ago\ and the predictions of an enormous crop bave been realised. Secretary Hester, of the New Oriea?s cotton ?change, announces that the crop fot the year" endiog August 3i. 1892, reached the unprecedented aggregate of 9,043,27$ bales, The orop of the previous year was 8 0.52.597 bales, while the efop of 1889-90 was 7,211.3713 bales,- Here is an increase of nerly two million1 bales within two years, and the fact that thete was an excess of one million bales* lust year completely establishes the' theory that over-production bas caused the low price of the staple during the5 past year. Yet there are farmers who' wiii contend that the crop is not exces sive, and that the low prices '.ii due to* a combination among the manufacturers. Tbc law of supply and demand is inof taken into account, and it is insisted that speculatien and adverse in?aences are at work to injure the farmer.- It is needless to argue the question with tho?e who flippantly ignore, the figures, and wiio are uot willing to recognize the facts of the situation. 13at the' . Hrmcr who sees the truth staring him in the face will so arrange his own airairs that he cannot be submerged by low prices of cotton, whether or not it is caused by over production He will orepare to become independent of the' cotton market by raising hi3 own sup plies for tr.no and beast, and 'in ibis region of country there is co question as to the success e>f the farmers from oner year to another who are uot the slaves of cotton culture.
