STIRRING THE SoIL.-Henry Ives, of
Pennsylvania, says that one test of good
farming brought out by last years ex~
ceptionally severe drouth, was, the
superior crops of those who kept right
on stirring the soil, even when all weeds
had been killed, and there seemed to be
no more to conquer, and they were stir,
loose. In one field Of corn Of eight
acres only one acre was hosd, az it was
thought it could do no good in such ex-
treme drouth. That acre return ed about
as much as all the seven. Potatoes that
were titled well gave 125 to 175 bushels
per acre, where those neglected yielded
thirty to sixty.

To HAVE FINE RADIsHEs.-If you
want to have delicious radishes, don't
pile on lot of coarse stable manure, but
60 to your old chip pile-clear off the
unrotted chips on top, and then put a
wagon.load or more of the soft rich soil
made by the well-rotted chips, on your
radish bed. A very little sprinkle of
ashes may helpit. Plant the radish seed
in this, pressing the soil firmly around
1t, and when the radishes begin to
grow, keep the soil well stirred and all
weeds killed. If the weather gets dry,
water once lavishly. Remember, you
must apply water in very large quantity
or you had better not put any at all.

Disfranchised for Felony.

The supervisor of registration for
Orangebutg County having refused to regis.
ter number of negroes who hrd been
convicted, some Of grand and some Of petit
larceny, they appealed to Judge Presley.
On Tuesday last Judge PRESLEY rendered
decision sustaining the action of tho su-
pervisor for the following reasons:
That tho disability of such persons to
: hold any Office, or vote or testify in courts
of justice existed before the adoption of the
Constitution of 1868 aud no legislation On
the subject was necessary. That existing
laws aud customs established such disa
bilities, unless expressly repealed, are
taoitly assumed as valid by every now
Constitution, and in addition to that our
Constitution of 1868 expressly rccog4
nizes such disability by providing: "rhat
no persons shall be DISTINGUISHED for felony
or other crimes committed while such per.
son was slave" This ia held clearly to
imply that convicted felons who never we're
slaves are disfronchised thereby and that
those who once we're slaves will lose their
right to vote on conviction for crimes com
miited after they became free.
In respect to tho crime called petit lar
oeny, that was disabling offcnse when the
Constitution of 1868 was adopted Since
then the Legislature has changed its pun.
ishment and made it misdcmeanor.
Nevertheless our Appeal Court has twice
decided that this change does not take
away the disability, and persons convicted
Of petit larceny arc there.. disqualified
from testifyiug in courts of justic'. Much
stronger is the reason that they should be
held disabled from poisoning the fountains
of law at the ballot box.

The. Platform Of the Demo
cratic Party.

The Democratic Party Of South Carolina,
in State Convention assembled, rcofirming
the principles and declarations of tho State
platforms Of 1876 and 1878, and their
continued devotion to tho principles of the
National Democratic Party, and pledging
to that party their earnest cooperation and
support, declare the following principles as
formulating the policy of the South Carolina
Democracy in State and Federal affairs, and
invite the aid und support of all good
citizens in carrying them into cffect
l. Wise and just legislation, the Impair
tial administration of equal laws, economy
with efficiency in ovcry department of the
State government.
2. Popular education is the bulwark Of
free institutions. Liberal appropriations
for the public schools for the whole people
3. The systematic efforts of tho Rcpubli-
lican party to obstruct reform and destroy
good government in South Carolina by
turning to partisan purposes the appointing
power of the Federal Government is q
standing menace to the people of this State
aud growing danger to good citizens in
every port Of tho Union. The Federal
Offices in this State are mado political in
frmaries and training schools for the defeat
of honest government in South Carolina.
4. Honest home rule. Tho Democracy
OF South Carolina, representing the tax
payers Of the State and majority of tho
whole people, invite ond have the right to
expect the sympathy and support of their
fellow countrymeu 10 their strenuous efforts
to preserve au intelligent and equal admin
istration of the government.
5. The practice of packing iuries 10
political cases in the United States Courts
in this State is a criminal violation of tho
iDalienabla right Of every citizen to fair
trial by jury Of his peers.
6. The extension Of the franchise, as a
political result Of tho late war, has enlarged
enormously the number of present aud
prospective voters requiring education 10
tho public schools. The burden was in
creased, whilo the ability Of the State to
bear it was diminished. Tho Federal Co
