In 1870 the following counties were
carried by the Reformers: Anderson

1449, and Reform 4 145.
From the above IL will appear that
the Conservatives may, with a reason
able prospect Of success. run County
tickets in about one half Of the coun-
ties Of the State. This would give
@ powerful Conservative influence in
the Legislature. We do not pretend
asy that success can be expected, ti Ii ii
lallof these counties without hard work,
but The record sufficiently encourag.
ing TO warrant a trial, and we hope
that each of the counties named will
put candidate, n}the field, and work
untiringly for their election. The mo.
tiyes for action, and the chances Of
success are certainly strong enough To-
call forth the most strenuous efforts.
Besides this, the third and fourth.
Congressiona Districts may, BY dint of
great perseverance, and sacrifce,and by
a wise selectionof candidates, give us
q voice in the Legislative deliberations
oflthe nation. We trust that these
opportunities may not be. lost by q
criminal apathy OF indifference on the
part of the Conservatives. We do not
advocate opposition where il is hope
less, but wherever there is any chance
OF success, we say, strike.

Mr.. EDIToR:The Radical Con-.
vention has had its sitting down and
has risen up saying that G Chamberlain
is their man. The Conservatives of
the State have already said that he is
not ours. They have already based
their objections upon his lack of hon.
'esty. This ia not all. The Conser.
vatives of the State Of South Carolina
stand pledged to the whole people of
the United States, to enter the political
arena with an opposing candidate, who.
shall be chosen for intelligence, fair
,mindedness, and thorough honesty.
If words mean any thing they mean
this and more, viz: that ifwith Bepub.

over Republican dishonesty we would
regard it as our duty SO to do, and

to meet the demand. 81

UNHAPPY .STOKEsl. %, ST

The tenderest chords Of our nature
are touched, whenever we contemplate
the condition of this eccentric, but foolr.
.aught we know, honest man, whois now
said to be languishirg in Greenville
Jail, where he was committed under
sentence of Judge Cooke, for his refusal
to testify in an action against himself
for debt. He says he will rot in iail
before he viii yield his point; and as
his confinement is said to have had d
very injurious effect upon his constitu-
tion, it is thought that he will die
unless shortly released.
Several touching appeals for mercy
have been made in his behalf. and
recently Attorney. General Goldsmith
of Georgia, his kinsman, has written q
letter to R. H, Kirk Of Lexington, re.
auesting him to use his influence for
shisremoval from ejailtothe asylum,
as he is crazy. IF such is the case he
is certainly an object ofpity and mercy,
especially, if he has q families tears TO
augment his sorrows.
We recognize the scriptural duty Of
every one ato be subject to the powers
that be-" but we. are ever ready; to
throw the mantle of charity over the
frailties of erring humanity, especially.
when these frailties may he the off.
spring ofan honest but mistaken con-
viction of right. But, besides this,
Stokes is represented as afflicted, both
in body and mind, in which case the
majesty of the law should certainly
yield to the voice Of mercy, for it is the
plain dictate of humanity that "when
God lays His hands on, it is time for

" g. lt = F
It Is currently reported, and as gem n
orally believed, that Mr.. a. +. Brown
ing made a speech recently, in the
Fork of Edisto, in which, he advised
the negroesto kill the 8 Changers g
stating, tbatait was an easy task, and
could be performed any morning before
break kfast. Also that he suggested to
his sable audience the propriety Of
using the, sword or club and torch
against the whites. s7S
Will Mr.. "a. +. Browning announce
publicly whether or not, he made such
a speech, either in whole, or.in part,
at the meeting referred to above? Or
whether he ever made d speech, at any
time, upon any occasion, in which, he
either, directly, or indirectly, advised
or suggested to the negroes, an incen-
diary or murderous course towards the
whites SIS sf

ORGANIZATIONS.

The great difficulty with the people
ofSouth Carolina has been that they
viii never pursue one line of political
policy long enough to test its efficacy,
before they, become disheartened and
aly off in quest of another. Several
plans have been proposed for: our polit-
ical reformation, any one of which, If
heartily and unanimously persisted in,
would in all probability bring US relief.
But it won't doto be wavering or
spasmodic. It is criminal and disas-
trous to advocate one policy today,
and becausei il may happen to be rather
slow in yielding fruit, and cause some
thing of a draft upon our time and
!. means, TO desert both the cause and
! our chosen leaders, and lapse into sell
fish apathy tomorrow.
We must settle upon some fixed pol.
icy, and then pursue it with that pa
thence, firmness and consistency which
furnishes the only guarantee of success.
We must not organizeand theR disband
on account of defeat, as il success and
not principle was our sole aim; but we
must keep organized under all circum-
stances, and at all times. The organ.
ization of 1870 should never have been
disbanded. Although beaten at the
polls, we gained q grand moral victory
in proving to the colored people that
the white people were ready for concil-
'iation, but they were not. In this
action ne have fully justiied ourselves,
and furnished an argument in our:
favor which is powerful and unanswer-
able. We are therefore not called
upon TO make any further advances
towards them, which would be degrad
ing; but we should show that our
attitude is unchanged, by continuing to
act upon a liberal policy. For. this
purpose we should reorganiEe, and pro.
mulgate Q platform embodying those
issues which will carry the heart of the
people, and will be broad enough for
every lover of freedom to stand upon.
It was such q course which saved
Virginia and other Southern States,
and which, if,persisted in, would ulti-
mately save South Carolina.

pAq7ERsoNs CONVENTION.

This Convention, otherwise called
the Republican State Convention, has
at last done Its work, and nominated
ID. III. Chamberlain, by a small major
ity, for governor. The opposition to
him was very strong and intense, but
she network of the Ring. was too we'll.
laid, and the scheme succeeded.
Speeches were made by Mackey and
Zee exposing Chamberlain's connec-
tion with past corruption, but all to no
avail; greenbacks were more powerful
than eloquence or truth. According
to the published reports, the proceed
ings at many times were simply a
disgrace to any community. outside of
the wilds of Africa, and should bring
to the minds of the sober thinking
people of the North the horrible deg
radiation to which the much boasted
Republicanism has reduced the State.
, The Conservatives reiterated that if
the Convention put forward Republi
can who was beyond suspicion, they
world support him; and to give the
matter more weight, the State Tax
Union announced the same fact.
1t is plain that the Republican pro.
fessions of reform are mere words.
There is no sincerity in them. The
Ring has so far been partially success-
full with the Convention, but it will
find much harder work with thep people.
1t is the duty of the Conservatives TO
unite upon an honest man, and with q
fair count and the right kind ofwork,
there is a chance Of electing him, es.
Beciallv when we consider the small
Radical majority in the Seymour md
Grant election, probably the only time
we had fair play.

Farmers Keep Accounts.


If there is anything that farmers
neglect to do more than another, it is
keeping of farm accounts. But very
few Of them keep any account of the
expenses and income Of their farms.
Line upon line and prccept upon pre-
cept' has been given them upon this
subject, Ly agricultural writers and
speakers, but il seems to have had but
little effect. This is n matter Of much
Importance as many seem to think. A
farmer in order to meet with good
success, ought to be able to tell the
cost of each crop that he raises, and
the worth of that crop after it is har-
vested.
There are many advantages to be de-
rived from the keeping of these ac-
counts which farmers would do well
to think over. If a careful account II
the expense and the income of the
farm is kept, all Of the items noted
down so that it can be seen at cnce to
which crop they belong. the farmer
has the means of knowing the exact
cost of every crop which he raises and
can tell at once whether it has been
profitable or not. If it has been un-
profitable, and he is true farmer, and
is sensible man, he will adopt differ
cnt mode of cultivation, and if it still
continues Improbable, he will drop it
altogether and substitute some paying
crop. He can tell which are the most
profitable crops, and in this way can
find out what ones he must raise in
order to derive the greatest possible
income from his farm. AS it is now
many of our farmers go OH year after
year raising crops which are continu-
ally running them in debt and thus
diminishing the profits.

What q Woman Can do


Here is the way a farmers daughter
in Concord, Mass, made money in the
poultry business: She commenced
with about sixty fowls in the spring.
From these she raised four hundred
and fifty chickens. When young she
fed on cracked corn, but when fatten-
ing them gave whole corn and Indian
meal. During the season she sold eggs
to the amount of $50, and from Sep
TENDER Goth, to January 18th, she got
ready for market $50 pairs of chickens,
which she sold for two hui dred and
sixty dollars, making in all $3.50. 1t
will be seen from this statement what
may be done by proper attention to
poultry, the profit being perhaps
greater than in any branch of farming.
1t also shows that the business is one
in which females may engage with
success. The time engaged in caring
for sixty to hundred hens does not
average more than an hour or two.
The exercise is light and pleasant, and
the change from household duties
rather agreeable than otherwise.

BoraX is the best exterminator yet
discovered. The troublesome insect
has great aversion to it, and will
never return where il has once been
scattered. AS the salt is perfectly
harmless TO human beings, it is much
TO be preferred for this purpose to the
poisnous substance generally used.
Borax is also valuable fer laundry
use, instead of soda. Add a handful
of it, powdered, to about ten gallons
Of boiling water, and you need use on
