The furor that has been created b DuMaurter's novel .Trilby" is un do nb ted ry due as much to judiciou advertising by the publishers as to tb great merit and novelty possessed b; the book. We read it wheo it appear ed in Harper's Magazine during th< first months of last year, and was strucl by the novelty and originialicy of the story, but had no idea that it would b> responsible for the *'Trilby Waltz" o the "Trilby Lisp'' of the New Yorl 400, or the numerous "Trilby Circles' that have sprung up all over the land. The last crop is conceded to havi been the cheapest ever produced in thii State; and this was accomplished b} the^spariag u*e of commercial ferti lizers. This year's crop will, anc necessarily must* be, cheaper still, anc comparitively little fertilizer will bi sold In the first place, fertilizers are too costly to be used to raise five cent cotton. The prices are out of all pro? portion to the prices obtained for thc articles produced by their aid. The farmers should hesitate a long time be? fore going into debt for fertilizer when the outlook is so discouraging. Io the second place, there are few people able to extend the credit to those who have been accustomed to use fertilizers largely. Some time ago the question of raisiog strawberries for market was discussed by one or two parties, and one of the largest land owners io the vicinity of this city offered them the use of as much land as would be needed, free of charge, for the first year, and at regular farm rent for two or three years thereafter, if they would undertake the experiment. The land was not ordinary cotton land, but land that has been reclaimed from the swamp by thorough drainage, and has been kept in a high state of cultiva? tion for a number of years. It has been highly manured and is mellow to the plow. If there was ever an oppor I tunity for making the experiment of growing strawberries for profit in the vicinity of Sumter, this is the oppor B tunity. The reduction ot the force of disj ? sary constables will invite the viola ! of the law, and the violation of the j will excuse the enforcement of metropolitan police law. Its a gi i head Tohn Gary has oo him I The men who complain of be land poor should try the experimen planting an acre or two io pecans, ten to fifteen years the pecan acres i be woriu ten times as much, acre acre, as any other land that they ow Georgia is sending a train load provisions to the starving Nebrai farmers. The response to Ex Gove or Northen^ appeal has been proo and hearty, and we venture to sugg that this is a cause io which Ex Gi ernor Tillman could worthily exert influence. The fact that Robert Louis Steve son earned $200,000 with his pen di iog the past six or seven years shot not encourage all those who ?magi themselves great novelists, in embn to quit their trades and go to writi regularly. Several of the Western papers ha tried the experiment of allowing t women to have the entire supervision one issue. Women did all the wot from that of editor-in-chief to office bc and it is said that they got out excelle papers. The volume of business in the Sou during the past year compared ve favorably with the west, and the who! sale dealers are turning their ey Southward for the new year's trade, is tree that business bas been di throughout the - Sooth, but there h been nothiog like the distress and disa ter that has prevailed in entire sectioi of the west. There have been no lab troubles, strikes or riots to cripple bus ness and destroy confidence in the Sont as iu tfa2 west. Io this section tim* are hard, money scarce, and the outloc for the cotton crop gloomy, yet the pe pie have taken up their labors for tl year with energy and hope. They ai determined to make a living if labt and industry counts for anythiog, an we know and the world knows that th is a section that guarantees at least living to all who work. In the West th year began amid starvation and suffei iog, in the North amid strikes an threatenings of greater labor trouble than ever before. No wonder io ve? tors and business men are lookio Southward with hope. If the South i able to produce as large a provisto crop in 1895 as in 1894 the faith of th country will prove well founded. Witl propitious seasons we believe tba South Carolina will produce at least fifth more grain this year than last ant other provisions in proportion ; and i the harvest is as bountiful as we trus it will be, theo will we begin to 'ool backward to the hard times with grati tude that we have passed beyond them and not fearfully toward the future hoping against hope, that times wii grow no worse. The Constitutional Convention wat devised and a majority in favor of i: fraudulently forced for a purpose. Ii was not for the good of the State as a whole that the donimant element made such extraordinary exertions and com mitted such brazen frauds in forcing the This element does not work for any such geueral motive. When they Constitutional convention upon the State, work it is for personal interest or to wreak partisan spleen upon the op ; posite faction. There was a purpose ! in calling the convention at this time, ! and there is every evidence that the pur j pose was to control it aud enact such I schemes as well perpetuate in power the ! men who are uow living at the public ! expense. Outrageous and uublushiog ; frauds were perpetrated in the last elec ! ticro when it was desired to call the J convention, and even greater frauds j may be anticipated when the question i of controlling the convention is at issue, i We have no means of knowing what, schemes the leaders of reform purpose 'l incorporating in the new Constitution, but if their past is an earnest of their future, the new Constitution of their : making will be undemocratic and ' tyrannical. With such an outlook ; before us those who have not bowed ! their necks to reform should be at work. I With organization and systematic work j the control of the Constitutional Coo i vention can be taken from thc reformers : and an instrument of liberal and demo? cratic principles adopted as the funda? mental law of the State. But if any? thiog is to be done we muet begio at ; once, and the effort must bc made all over the State. Une or two counties I can do no good if all the others remain j passive until the time for work is past. ' Now is the time for work and orgaoiza I don. I ' The Republicans are already mal their plan for an aggressive camp; io the South. They count on carr; several states in the next Presidei election, but it may happen thai great a revulsion, of political sentit] may occur as did between the elect of 1892 and 1894. We do not bel the Republicans will have an easy I electing a President in 1896. The Atlanta Constitution's edite opinion that Secretary Carlisle i puppet of Wall Street bankers, and story of its Washington correspond that the Wall Street crowd has ruanded of Cleveland the dismissa Carlisle do not tally. One must wrong, bot if the confiding pu waits for the "greatest Southern ne paper to admit that either is, the \ will be very, very long. The reports of the butcbery of Armenian Christiansvby the Turks too horrible for belief. Should it proven that thousands of these pee were murdered with the connivance the Turkish authorities, the Powers Europe would be justified in taki possession of the Turkish territory s declaring the dominion of the Subli Porte at an end. There never was au editor" or porter who had uot friends who p si.s.'eoth advised him to "jump o this person, that official, or thc otl institution, giving as an excuse thal was for the present good of the co munity and the salvation of posteri Observation has taught us that the li such advice is acted upon the bet: it is, for personal grudges are, ni times out of ten, at the back of the a vice. We see in the Georgia papers, m? tion of a packing house that is to established at Valdosta, and also of pork packiog establishment that b beeB in successful operation in Dal to Ga., for several years. This is dive sified industry of the right sort, and a though we could wish that these esta lishments were in South Carolina, tl next best thing is to have them Georgia. If pork packiog is a payir. business in Georgia, it will not be lon before South Carolina will go into tl business also. Of the Dalton packin house the Dalton Citizen says : "Dav & Son have been making all kinds sausage, head cheese, rendering lan packiog hams, shoulders and side mea Right now they have over 130,00 pounds io their immense refrigerator besides shipping daily to Albany, Va dosta, Augusta, Mobile, Savannah Brunswick, Selma and Charlestot They are butchering from two to thre hundred head a week, and what is pat ticularly pleasing, they are hom? raised Their kettle-rendered lard is i such demand they cannot meet it." Several toos of grapes are shippe from Williamsburg County every year and the shippers receive returns tba pay them handsomely. No grapes ar shipped from Sumter County, althougl grapes flourish wherever they receiv the least attention, and we have neve known a total failure of the grape crop The Deleware and Concord varieties which are the most- popular in thi Northern markets, are peculiarly adapted to this climate and bear proli fically under the most adverse circum stances. A vineyard begins to product grapes in paying quantities the thirc year and continues to do so for five ti eight years. After that time new vine.' should replace the old ones; but bj setting out new vines between the bear? ing vines the grape crop can be made continuous year after year. Some years ago a commission of the United States Government visited this County for the purpose of making a report in reference to the adaptability of the lands and climate to grape growing. The report said all and more than we have in favor of this County as a grape growing sectiou. The members of this commission inspected the hill portion of Stateburg, Bradford Springs and Raft? ing Creek townships, and it is our recollection that they said, that there is no section of country with greater natural advantages for the successful production of grapes, thaD that lying in these townships. The climate is genial, thc soil fertile and well drained and the rainfall ample and well distributed throughout the year. With such advan? tages thousands of tons of grapes should be produced annually in this county and those who are now poverty ridden from long service of king cotton should bc living in comfort, if nor in ease on the profits derived from thc culture of the vine. If fortunes have been and arc being made io grape culture in Califor? nia where irrigation is absolutely neces? sary, it stands to reason that comfortable livings can bo made in South Carolina, j Superintendent Byrnes, of the New York Police Department, appears to be totteaiug ou the pedestal upon which popular fancy and common report have placed him. But if he falls he has a substantial place for landing-?300, OOO worth of real estate is ample to support bim. A tobacco planter of this County speaks the first word iu favor of the much despised English sparrow He says that he sparrows kept his tobacco fields almost free from worms, and that very little hand labor was needed. We would not be surprised, however, if thc sparrows, having acquired a taste of tobacco by eating the worms of last year's crop, go to chewing tobacco and will strip the fields this year to get the weed. There ?6 more money on deposit in the banks of this city than ever before, and this fact is evidence to us that it is an opportune time for the men who have this money on deposit to get together and establish enterprises hat will pay them individually in dividends, and the city as a whole by the increase in population and trade that wonld necessarily follow. What is the matter with a gingham factory ? Tliey have bean built on thc instalment plan in North Carolina and have paid handsomely in dividends. Aud the j same thing eau be said of the factories in Rock Hill. Thy Watchman d' Southron fee's somewhat disgraced this week Since thc last issue its nat: 'as been men? tioned some five or more times in the editorial columns of the Columbia Register. We arc glad to be able to say, however, that the organ did not praise us, and our disgrace iii less disgraceful. It all came about on account of a little paragraph referring to Con? gressman McLaurin's attack on the Carlisle currency plan, which appeared in the last issue Aa usual, the "bad to-buy-it" made haste to defend one ot the tin gods of reform, and incidentally to overwhelm the ignoraot and unfor? tunate country editor-which is our? self-who bad profanely mentioned the creature to whom the Register says it? prayers day and night. In the course of a column and half article the Register gets in two very Hood things-au extract from a letter written by Thomas Jefferson aud au extract from Congress man McLaurin's speech- md the balance is pretty fair to middlii:.:, for in it the phosphorescent intellect that straddles the Register's tripod an?1 almost every? thing else, except ref. wm and Cal Caughman, expresses the very contempt? ible opinion he entertains of the country editor. As we have said before, we are well pleased and know "that we are honest and re? spectable, at least, if not brilliant, so long as the Register does not fawn around us with its jackal-like smile of approval. The point at issue is just this : Mr. McLaurin proposed a plan for the temporary relief of the financial strin? gency by the issue of greenbacks, and, as a temporary relief by expansion, was a very good scheme, and we so expressed ourself at the time. But Carlisle's plan looks beyond mere tem? porary relief, and as such merited the support of Democrats. McLaurio's fight against the bill has the savor of the dog in the manger-he could not get his treasure for temporary relief through Congress, therefore be will exert himself to prevent the success of any other measures. Our diagnosis of Mr. McLaurin's case struck a soft spot on the editorial protuberance of reform. PUKE?fOURHAMi? f?lGARE?TES? ? .v. ,<^facn?^ " ?V-Jjgj SE^'VY.

It w;ii, no doubt, be gratifyi'ig to the people of Sumter to learn that there ure very good reasons to believe that Sumter will, at an early date, ?>e assured of an independent out? let to the West by means of the construc? tion of the old proposed Sumter and Wateree railroad. This proposed railroad company was chartered many years ago, and the right of way secured, but nothing was ever down towards the actual construction. When it became evident sometime ?go that the Three C's Railroad Company was desirous of entering Sumter by the extension of their line from Camden to Sumter, the iocorpora tors of the Sumter and Wateree Railroad offered to the Three C's the rieht of way for the proposed Sumter and Camden Branch, but the mcorporators also took the precau? tion io have reuewed at th? last session of the General Assembly their charter. It was considered a settled fact that the Three C's Railroad Company would build their Sumter and Camden Branch, but in the meantime, j while it was not generally known, still there ! his been in Sumter a representative of a large j construction compaoy. composed of a number I ot responsible capitalists, who made a pro? position to build the Railroad from Sumter to Wateree, on the South Carolina and Georgia Railroad, ia the ioterim, however, Messrs. Samuel Hunt and J. J. Collier, offi? cials of the Three C's, announced that the syn dacate of capitalist which they represent, want the people in the different townships, j tnrough which the proposed Sumter and Camden Railroad will run, to contribute j 375,000 towards the construction of tba Branch. The proposition for $75,000 does not take with the people, and it is safe to predict thai 1 the svndacate of capitalists will have to be satisfied witb the righi of way given them. However, a meeting has been called for Jan. ! 7th at Sumter Court House, which the peo-! pie in ihe different townships interested in the ! Sumterand Camden Railroad are invited to j attend, and meet Messrs. Hunt aod Collier ot j the Three C's Railroad Company and discuss j the matter At the meeting it is probable thai tbe matter will be definitely settled one j way or the olber, and the different townships, through their representatives at this meeting, are likely to inform Messrs. Huutand Collier, that they cannot vote ihe township bonds that ibey desire. Wheiher the Three C's Company will con? sider Sumter important enough to come to ? without the $75,000 is not known, but it stands to reason that the Three C's would j be foolish io stand ou $75,000, when Sumter is such an important Railroad centre, and would pay three times $75,000 in patro? nage in a few years. Some are inclined to think thai the Sumter and Camden Railroad will be built by the Three C's anyhow. Well to be plain, if the Three C's don't talk business pretty quick now, the represen ative of that construction company will be instructed to come on, and the right of way of the Sumter and Wateree Railroad Company j will be given to the construction Company. Their representative was in Sumter about two weeks ago, and rode over the line of the Sumterand Wateree Railroad, and has im formed ibe officers of ibe Sumterand Wateree Railroad Compaoy, that if tbe people along the line wish the Sumter and Wateree Rail? road built, ibat they will build and tully tquip it without a cent from them, and take j tirst mortgage bonds for security. So that j Sumter is independent of the Three C's as far | as au outlet is concerted, and need oot fear j being bottled up by the Atlantic Coast Line, j The Sumterand Wateree Railroad would | connect with the South Carolina and Geor- i gia Railroad at Wateree, S. C., about 20 ' miles from Sumter, and terms could easily j ; be made with the South Carolina and Geor- | gia Raihoad that would ?ive Sumter a com- ! peting hue. It is to be hoped, however, thai the Three C's wilt conclude to build the i Sumter aud Camden extension, in as much as there is a likelihood that they wotiid put, their shops and round bouse in Sumter. lt is well for a large number of people, representing each township through which tbe Sumter and Camden Railroad will pass, [ to meet Messrs. Hunt and Collier at Sumter ; Court House, on January 7tb, as lhere is i still au opportunity, perhaps, to secure this extension. - tm i i rn? How's This !
