NUM-. 21.

In 1869 the Republicans had a
majority of forty two in the Senate
and eighty-six in the House. They
have majority of two in the SEN
ate to-day and are in a minority in
the house, with the perfect certain
ty that the Democrats will hold the
Senate in 1879 by ten majority and
the probability that there will be
Democratic House. Now, is it not
singular that party which claims
to be the ''party Of the people,"
the party of progress, humanity and
every cody virtue, with possession
of all the offices, should have Been
forced Off the stage in this uncere-
monious way? The Republican
party is not the party of the great
American people, who, with all the
pressure of vice introduced by Re
publicanism, are far too honest to
be caught hugging a "Scarlet Wo
man. - Courier Journal.
AS little as it may think of il, this
country has more to fear from CON-
munism than from all other evils
combined. The great city which
suffers the monster TO rear its head
in the midst of it unsmitten, invites
destruction. The cloud not larger
than mans hand upon the hori-
zon is sometimes the precursor of
a tempest by which cities are
wrecked and navies are stranded.
Communism-there is the faint,
low, far-ofE, dreamy wash of the
waves of hell in the very sound of
the name. 1t is the worst form of
tyranny the world has ever seen:
"Does tyranny always begin
With Offering pomp and deafening din
With mUskOtry and dTuml
At stlllest times it Oft creeps IN,
When sword and spear no conquests win,
And martial strains are dumbn

The Executive Committee Of Pomona
Grange.

At the regular meeting in July, Po-
mona Grange increased the number of
her Executive Committee from three to
seven, and distributed the membership
over her Jurisdiction to facilitate the
means of obtaining correct and prompt
information from all parts of the County.
The names of the Committee we have
given in former number of this column.
It remains to be seen how well the means
are. adapted to the ends contemplated.
A meeting was called for the first Mon
day in August. The old Committee and
one Of the new attended. AS there was
not full attendance, no action was taken
towards organizing for businesa, and the
first Monday in September was appointed
for the next meeting. The old Commit
tee, with two of the new attended, and
promptly organized by electing J. W.
Norris Chairman and T. B. Lee Secre-
tary. Several subjects of interest to the
Orde: were discussed, and the Committee
adjourned to meet on the first Saturday
in September in the Grange Hall. The
old Committee were present and devoted
their attention to such matters of busi-
ness as demanded prompt action, and
appointed another meeting for saleday
in October next, to be held in J. B.
Watson's store at 10 o'clock a. m. A
full meeting is desired, and prompt at
tendance will dispatch business.

A SPLENDID TRIBUTE TO THE MOD.

A SPLENDID TRIBUTE TO THE MOD
EST BRAvE.-Those nurses who have gone
out of the pure air of their own homes to
the plague stricken towns, to handle and
tenderly care for dead and dying men
who are utter strangers to them, need a
higher courage than any soldier march
ing into the thick of battle. They gain
nothing; neither pay nor glory. Their
victories are not watched by a proud
country for whose honor they give their
lives. If they die, no weeping nation
will, year by year, hang laurels on their
graves. The Howard nurse is only men
toned in the papers as zone of twenty
FIVE" arriving on such date, or zone of
twenty" who are dead. His name no
body knows. If he falls, his friends
only learn of it because he fails to re-
turn. He gives his life for some plague
stricken wretch, probably of less value
to the world than himself, in the poison
ed air of solitary chamber. He is
buried hastily in nameless grave, with
shuddering and fear, and quick-lime is
thrown upon his body. This sacrifice he
makes out of pure love to God and hu-
manity, and this sacrifice is now making,
not by one man but by every one of the
hundreds of nurses sent out by the How
ard Association. Every one of them
carries his life in his hand as he goes
These men, too, be it remembered, are
Southerners; the people whom we re.
garded as our enemies not long ago, and
whom we are very apt still to regard as
impracticable, idle and quarrelsome. II
is worth our while to consider this thing

only partial success, in consequence of
the unlimited confidence of brethren in

BEN BUTLER FOR GOVERNOR.
The Nomination of the Grcenback Party Of
Massachusetts,.

The State Convention of the Indepen.
dent Greenback party of Massachusetts
met on the 18th instant, nearly 1000
delegates being present. Among them
was one lady, Mrs. Josephine r. Stone,
of Boston. B. F. Butler was nominated
for Governor on rising vote.
The Greenback party in its platform
holds both political parties responsible
for the crippled industries of the country
and for the extended want among the
people, and calls upon all to declare their
independence of these false guides and
aid in regaining the priceless rights be-
queathed to US by our patriotic sires.
The resolutions regard much of the pres
ent legislation as huge swindle upon
the industries of the country, demand
the immediate repeal of the resumption
act so that that periodical carnivals of
bankruptcy may come to an end assert
that the United States shall never issue
any more interest bearing bonds unless
the same are authorized by e direct vote
of the people, aud those issued during
the war shall be paid as fast as they
mature, according to the terms of the
contract which authorized and created
that Indebtedness of the people, and
what that contract is shall be submitted
to the decision of the Supreme Court of
the United States; and that all subse.
quent acts which impair and change the
original contract are hereby denounced

1t is resolved that the labor bureau
should be sustained, its field of operation
enlarged and its officers selected from
those engaged in industrial pursuits, and
having the confidence of the industrial
classes of the Commonwealth for the
purpose of obtaining reliable statistics to
form basis for intelligent legislation on
labor questions, especially with regard
to the hours of labor, which should be
reduced in proportion as the use of ma
chinery increases.
Resoiued, That land of equal produc-
tion and capacity shall be subject to
equal taxation, whether cultivated or
not, to the end that the public domain
may be preserved to the actual tiller Of
the soil.
The next resolution assails the Associ-
ated Press, and declares that telegraph
companies must be forced to sell daily
news upon equal terms to any paper.
The resolutions declare against the
payment of poll tax as condition of
the right of suffrage. They assert that
no person should be taxed for that which
he owes. In other words, for the pur-
poses of taxation all persons shall have
the right to deduct from the value of
their estates the sum of the mortgages
thereon, and said mortgages should be
assessed to the persons to whom they, are
due. The system of letting out convict
labor by contract is depapnced; and it
is further resolved that tic public lands
are the property of the people and should
be reserved for actual settlers, aided by
the government and protected in their
possessions by just laws.
The resolutions were unanimously
adopted, and the convention adjourned.

10 raise forty dollars. Yet how many
citizens worth not the half of ten thou
sand dollars now pay twice forty dollars
& year in tuition fees2 A local tax is the
cheapest means of raising money. Every
one is aware of the abuse of the local
tax during the days of Radicalism. But
it can be so hedged around with restric-
tions as never again to become burden.
The scheme is as follows: Let it be con-
fined to those towns in which graded
schools are located. Let the extreme
Limit of the levy be fixed at say two
mills. Let vote of a majority of those
persons paying taxes other than poll tao
be required to levy it. The taxpayers
will then have the matter in their own
hands, and cannot be compelled to pay
the tax against their will. The restric-
tion of the vote to certain class is per-
fectly legitimate. The constitution pro-
vides expressly that no capitation tax,
other than the poll tax, shall be levied.
This local tax is, therefore, to be paid
only by those persons owning property.
And as the poll tax payers are not attec-
ted by the levy of this extra tax, they
have no right to demand vote; while,
if the tax is levied, they are benefited
indirectly through the superior advauta-
ges afforded of educating their children.
Since it is much simpler for town to
levy tax of FIVE hundred or thousand
dollars than for the citizens to subscribe
that amount, an earnest effort should be
made to restore this tax with the limita-
tions mentioned above. This method is
in vogue in q very large number of
States.
1t is needless to cry out against the
public schools. They are fixed fact.
They are cheaper than private schools,
and can be made better. In perfecting
the system, South Carolina will be march
ing abreast, not only of every other State
in the Union, but of Germany and other
European nations. No one in casting
glance over the State and seeing the large
number of children, born of educated
parents, now growing up in ignorance,
will deny that we are relapsing, and that
something must be done speedily to check
this downward career. The surest reme-
dy is the organization of graded schools
in all the towns in South Carolina. May
their day be rot far distant.

their practical operation. Sub-Granges
were requested to bring to this meeting
an approximate statement of amount

Oats, Peas and Rye.

The following remarks taken from the
agricultural department of the Neaos and
Courier, are very suggestive to our farm
ers at this season:
Now is the time to begin to turn over
the land for the small grain crop, or for
the cultivated crop of next year. If your
land has coat of weeds on it, hitch two
mules to a turning plough and bury, if
possible, every vestige of vegetable mat
ter; keep stock off Of it, and it will make
no matter how completely your land is
turned upside down, even though it be
red clay. An excellent opportunity is
now offered our Anderson farmers to e1-
pertinent in this way as they have no
fences, and will not be troubled by ramb-
ling stock on their ploughed land all
winter. Turn your land deep and close
now, and let US know the result next
year.
If you have peas sown as fertilizer,
gather just enough to save seed for the
same land next year, and turn under the
balance as soon as the earliest pods are
picked of. Sow this land in oats and
drag the land, leaving the surface smooth
and even. The reapers next summe,
will tell you why this should be done.
If any half acre of any kind of land
sandy, gray or red, be made rich, thor.
oughly rich, and we'll ploughed, and
then sown in rye, using three pecks o.
seed if broadcast, or half bushel il
sown in the drill, there can be harvested
from it before next June perhaps more
green forage than will be furnished BY
any other grain. 1t is not as valuable a:
barley, but is most welcome food to any
kind of herbivorous animal in the winter
or spring. Rye sown now on fair average
land will make good calf pasture at {
time when other calf food is very scarce

ELECT HIM.

We hope that the voters of Storey
county will not allow themselves to
be prejudiced against Joe Mcdonald,
the Republican candidate for Clerk
Of Storey county, by the stories
which have been circulated about
him by his political opponents. It
is alleged that q couple Of years
ago, he went back to his native place,
in Canada, and invested large sum
Of money on q farm, with the in
tention Of making it his future homo.
The fact is, as stated by the Enter
prise, that he simply bought the
farm and gave it to his aged parents,
to secure them against want in their
old age. This was . laudable act,
and one which should commend
him to every man, woman and child
who entertain any regard for their
parents. Besides, Joe Is known by
his intimate friends as . strictly
honorable and very liberal fellow,
and he is thoroughly competent to
ill the position to which he aspires.
He should be elected.

MY DEAR MIR. DAvIs:-l have
just read your "little note" to the
editor of the Virginia Chronicle,
and tell you it is as clear as mud.
l DID think when read the editorial
in the TINES, that you might have
an idea of disappearing the Dem.
ocratic party, by supporting John p.
Jones. But l find it was all q mis-
take, and that you are a true blue.
dyed-in. the-wool- Democrat, and that
you intended all the time to support
any chivalry Democrat who might
aspire to be United States Senator.
1 see now that your assertion shat
YOU were as favorable to j. p. Jones
for the United States Senate, as W.
r. King ever was" was only dodge,
and I must confess it would have
been a good joke on the Republic
cans if you had succeeded in Sc
curing few unsuspecting voters by
it. How did you ascertain that W.
r. King was not in favor of Jones'
re-election2 Did he tell you soa Or
is that another dodge to catch votesl
l am afraid you are spreading it on
pretty thick for beginner in the
business; but, then, you may be an
apt scholar, and get along better
than those who have had more ex-
perience. One thing is certain, you
have inaugurated new system Of
tactics. And If You are elected, and
you pursue the same course in the
Legislature, it will be strange if you
do not make q success Of it,
Yours DELTA.
