Woman as a Patron Of Husbandry

\ cautious lady having propounded
in the Rural New Yorker, certain
queries in reference TO the results OF
experience in the grange, as it regards
women, such as "Arc your homes hap
pier? Are your burdens lighter: Is
your prosperity greater!" "A woman
who is u. of H." replies:
at is too soon to look for great re-
suits. The expressions which called
our order into existence were the
growth of wears, and il will take time
and patience to remove them. but il
will be our own fault if we fail in the
end. Our homes are happier in pro-
portion as order and intelligence pre-
wade them; and will il not assist us
in this TO impart our ideas TO Others
and get theirs in exchange? Aud
cannot this be done to better advan-
tarc in the company Of fifty or a hum
drcd farmers wives than by spending
SO much time in miscellaneous visiting
as some do. The social part of the
grange promises to be more beneficial
to the woman than the men, as they
live more isolated from each other
Every ones prosperity will be greater
in proportion as he or she applies the
maximum Of economy, taught by the
grange, 10 business

How the Grange Educates

While little learning may be a dan
gerous thing, little intelligence is
good, and the more one has of it the
better. a man may 90 from year to
year picking up information of a gen
eral character, and yet not possess
himself of much that is really valua-
be to him. Until lately, the farmer
read great deal that gave him but lit
tie knowledge regarding things in
which he is most interested. lie read
his party paper, which of course show
ed that his party was pure and all 9th
er parties corrupt. He saw but one
side of the question, and that was in
accordance with his own prejudices.
he concluded. as most people do, that
it was all right. 1t was a clear case
that, when his party was in power,
taxes were not high, and it was equal
" clear that when some other party
held the management the country was
going to bad as fast as possible. To
educate the people in this way is the
busincss-the sole busincss--of party
papers.
The grange has wrought a decided
change in the character of imforma-
ton that reaches the farmer communi-
tv. The statiscal facts of the grange
are not baiscd by party prejudice or
preference. They are facts-wcll au-
thcnica! collected with out ref
erence to what party they sustain or
condemned. The farmers have long
known they were loaded with taxes
to raise money which went they know
not where nor for what. The grange
is looking into three things from non
political stand point, and the picture
presented is not gratifying. The sala-
AIRY question is examined, and the tax
payer finds out that thousands of Office
holders are receiving salaries long way
in excess of the services rendered. The
grange has found out that the party in
power is always a plundcrcr of masses:
that monopoly schemes are always in-
tended TO victimize the people: that
the watch-word of the party are a
snare and dclusion; that the party
platforms are made to be broken; and
that party papers only tell the truth
when il will advance their own inter-
csts or damage those of their oppon-
ents. Whatever else may be said of II,
the grange is certainly a dissemination
ola class OF reliable information which
il is important that the farmers should
possess.-Los 1ngel Herald.

grange of Ohio has done, we can only
say that we are equally in The dark !:
but in view of the immense business
done by the subordinate oranges, it is
quite evident that they did not deem
any action on the part of state oranges
necessary. They evidently believed
in the principle that the gods helped
those who helped themselves.

Cause Of Rust in Wheat.

The close, long continued analytical
researches of DR.. Sprcngal led to til,
conclusion that an excess of iron salts

and other cereals. \ soil in TIE vicin.

soil analysis by skilful chemists is
shallow quackcry-a weed that finds
much favor with American farmers.

The Right Spirit.

The following resolutions were adop-
ted at a recent meeting of the colorcd
people of Sumter. They express a
sentiment which We would be glad to
see far more common among the COL
ored people than it is. Can the col.
ored republicans Of Newberry see
things in the light Of these resolutions?
If not, why not?
Whereas, we, as citizens of the
, Town of Sumter, in mass meeting as
seubled for the purpose Of elecsing
twelve of the most iAtelliyent and
honest Republicans in our midst to
represent this precinct in the County
Convention to be held on Saturday,
the 10Th instant. do pass the following
resolutions as expressive of our desire
as to the action which our delegates
shall take in the said County Convcn-
tion.
Resolced, That we as true Repub-
licaus regret beyond expression the
fact that upon our heads have been
brought the indignation and contempt
of the National Republican party, and
the country in general, by the rcck
lesSncss of private aud public charac-
ter, aud the corruption existing among
many Of our public officers, both Coun-
ty aud State.
Re$0ired, That we do here and
now denounce all our public servants
who have betrayed our confidence, aud
forfeited our respect as fel!ow-citizenS,
as utterly unworthy of onr future trust
and support.
ReSolved, That we are positively
opposed, as part Of the Republican
party of this State, to the nomination
for Governor of this State either of
the following persons who have been
spoken of as candidates before the
coming Republican State Convention.
viz: Franklin j. Moses, Jr., Daniel
II. Chamberlain, Robert X. Scott, j.
/. Neasle, or any other of those known
to be members of the "Statehouse
Ring" and that we do hereby instruct
the delegates from this meeting to
cast their votes in the County Conven-
tion only for those who arc openly op-
posed to the above named persons, and
who will pledge themselves to use their
votes and influence to defeat the nolnl-
nation of either of said persons, from
first to last.

they could regard them as friends.

not fail to reciprocate and favor them
instead of the whites. Under the
influence Of such feeling, and im-
PEELED by fauaticism and love of power,
they would not stop at emancipation.
Another step would be taken to raise
them toa political and social equality
Nth thter former oacnsrs by giving
them the right Of voting and holding
public Offices under the Federal Gov
ernment."
Again he says "Raised to an
equality, they could become the fast
political associates of the North, act
ing and voting with them on all ques-
tions, and by this political union be-
tween them, holding the whits race
in the South IN complete sutJection.
The blacks and the proAigate whites
that might unite with them could be-
coue the principal recipients of the
Federal offices and patronage, and
would in consequence be raised above
the rhites in the South in the p0liti-
cal and social scale."

death of HYm. F. Durisoe, Sr.. Of
Edgefeld Mr.. DuriSoe was attend
ing the funeral of his brother iu-law.
Goodwin NJ. Roper, Esq, and while
descending steep and rough hill, the
mule which he drove becoming unruly,
the deceased was thrown from his
buggy in his efforts to control him.
The fall resulted fatally after twenty
six hours of suffering, his head having
struck a rock. The Advertiser speak
ing of the deceased says:
Wm. +. Durisoe, Sen, owned the
Edge6eld Advertiser for twenty years
from 1888 until purchased by his
eldest sou, D. R. Durisoc, Esq, in
conjunction with the late Col. Arthur
Simkins. In fact, as We have already
stated, he may with much propriety
be called the father of the .4drertispr.
TO the day of his death he loved it as
a child and was honored by it as a
father. He was a sternly honest man.
and an unHiuchiug and unspotted
Southern patriot.
