Since that time we have travelled con-
tinually among the schools Of the
county, covering period of FIVE
months. During our visits we were
accompanied by sixty-two Directors,
and travelled, in ALL about one thou
sand and seventy-fve miles. All over

Commercial Fertilizers.

At meeting Of Associate Grange, No.
l, Anderson County, held at Sandy
Springs, Saturday January IL, five sub
ordinate Oranges were reported, and the
following preamble aud resolutions were
unanimously adopted and ordered to be
printed:
Whereas We see that large number of
manufacturers of commercial fertilizers
assembled in convention in Augusta on
the 18th December, 1878, and, after free
and full discussion, resolved to raise the
price of all standard fertilizers to 500
pounds middling cotton on the sea coast,
notwithstanding the decline in the price
of cotton; and, whereas, it is very ques-
tionable, indeed, whether the farmers
could use commercial fertilizers, even Mt
prices heretofore paid. Therefore, be it
Resolred, That we advise all farmers OF
our County to discontinue the use OF
commercial fertilizers at prices now de-
manded, and, if necessary, to abstain en-
tirely from use of fertilizers until such
prices can be obtained that will justify
their use.
Resolred, That these resolutions be
presented to the Pomona Grange, and
that copy of the same be handed the
Master, with request to present the same
to State Grange at the February meeting
in Charleston.

In 1858 the State Of South Carolina
again applied to the General Government
Tor settlement Of this claim, and in her
petition protested against the loss OF in.
tcrcst. The petition was presented in
the Senate, and referred to the Committee
on Claims, Of which Committee Mr..
lvcrson, Of Georgia, was Chairman.
That Committee in investigating this
matter decided it was not private claim
Of South Carolina but that to meet the
question fully general law must be
passed covering all the pertinent cases.
Mr. lvcrson presented such Bill, which
passed the Senate by a very large majori-
ty, strange to say the most active oppo-
nent being Nr. Hunter, Of Virginia,
whose State WAS then advocating her
claim of more than one million dollars.
lie contcnGcd these loans had been
closed out rs donations, &C.. and should
not be opened up again as new claims
upon the General Government.
When this Bill went to the House il
was lost by very close vote, some of
the advocates of the payment of these
honest debts actually voted against the
Bill because Of the then scant Treasury
of the General Government.
In 1870 Maine and Massachusetts made
application to Congress for return OF
their loan, and it was accorded them, the
Treasurer being ordered to pay over
100000 to these two States, which he
did.
In 1876 the Legislature of Virginia
passed joint resolution, instructing her
two agents here, (whom she had appoint
ed in 1860 to prosecute this claim against
the Govcrnment,) to intercede with her
Senators and Representative to attempt
to recover this loan. For this reason
MIR. Hunton, in November, 1876, intro
duced "a Bill to provide for the recon-
putation of the accounts between the
United States and the several States.
growing out of moneys expended by said
States in the War of 1872" And th;e
Bill was referred as above reported.
I think you will agree with me that
this history of this whole matter is inter
esting reading, and worthy the thought
of our people. Whether we will ever get
credit for the amount due us am unable
to state, but that it is an amount worth
contending for you will not doubt. when
l tell you that South Carolina loaned the
Government in 1912 such an amount that
if it were all paid to-day would be per-
haps 100000. The amount due Virginia
is over Sl,00O,0OO; Delaware, $4,000
New York, $4,000; Pennsylvania, 1926 :
600, and the city of Baltimore, $4,000.

Governor Simpsons views upon the
Presidential problem, which we publish
elsewhere, are brief but concisely ex-
pressed and abound in wisdom. The
thoughts advanced by him read not like
the sentiments of the politician, but like
those of statesman. Wa cannot do bet
ter than heed the suggestion, that the
selection Of Presidential candidate
should not be made on questions of legis-
lation, but with view of securing a true
patriot with high conceptions of our form
of government. The Governor fayors
selecting The candidate from the North,
and prefers Bayard. He does not think
the South should seek or accept a posi-
ton on the national ticket i'm 1880 II
the Democratic party is controlled BY
such wise and high principles as those
upon which Governor Simpson bases his
preferences, it will be invincibc in the
coming Presidential contest.

Gen. Grant, the great European tou-
rist, who is making his journey through
foreign countries as an extensive dead
beat, notified the Council of Cork, Ire
land, through the American Consul, that
he would visit that city at a given time,
but the city did not take the hint, and
merely received the letter as information,
as they did not wish to honor General
Grant on account of his hostility tc the
Catholics in this country. The great
traveller, however, as soon as he found
out that he was not to get his travelling
expenses and board bill paid as an in
duccmcnt for him to visit Cork, decided
that he was mistaken about wanting to
go there at all. It was case of very
sour grapes.

The Legislature Of Maine is controlled

Governor Simpson. with bis usual good
sense and independence, has put an end
to the rumors about an extra session of
the ] legislature in consequence of the re-
s;raining order of Judge Bryan in refer
ence to the interest OH the public debt,
by declaring that in his opinion there is
no necessity for such session on this ac-
count. lie goes further and expresses
the opinion that the restraining order
will be dissolved. because there was no
contract between the State and her cred
itos which would enable them to enjoin
this money. Governor Simpson very
evidently does not intend to be made
tool by the holders of disputed bonds,
who are trying to embnrrass the State by
NIL possible means.

A United States Senator, who has n
good opportunity of judging, speaks thus
of the White House: "No man and
and his family ever enjoyed the Presi-
dency and the White House so much as
Hayes and his family do. To them the
whole thing il like the first reading of
Robinson Crusoe' to boy, or a first
jack-knife or first pair of boots. They
are innocent, harmless people, and, ifthey
gush little and give it away, It is only
because they are callow and green" Of
course they ought to enjoy it, Tor it is
generally admitted that it was free gift
from the Electoral Commission. But,
then, it is such pity that they must
give it up so soon, for Mr.. Hayes pledged
himself to take only one term, under the
belief that it would help him to get thai
one term.
