ditiOn. He then went on to show
the superiority of manual labor
schools. He read extracts from
DIR. Thornwell. My object, said he,
il to teach men to think, so that
new life 4 be infused into this
old land. Ignorance is the cause
of your troubles; that is the cause
of your grinding poverty; that il
why you go with hat in hand and
ask some merchant to "run you
every Spring. The butter can be
spread thinner in some places and
money left to give us an Agrfcul-
tural College.
That "oligarchy of lawyers" has
ranked in some mems ears Look
at the House committees. Whom
ever II chairman is appointed, it is
invariably Il lawyer. Nobody is
appointed on important commit
tees except lawyers and bob-tailcd
farmers, who arc tools Of lawyers.
If any jobs arc TO go through the
Legislature, the vote is taken in the
hrrly burly incident to closing the
session, and thus the farmers have
not time to consider. We want
more time for farmers to plod
along in the legislature. When
YOU pick men out, don't turn them
loose in the legislature, but pledge
them. Intelligent discussion is
what we need.
AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT.
In this department they ca oNcio
everything. As the farmers alone
support this department, simple
justice demands that they be allow
ed a showing in its management.
1t is their duty to sec that you are
not robbed in fertilizers, yet they
analyze the fertilizers after they

Mr.. Tillman then went into the
merits of the Farmers Institutes.
He explained the operations Of
these Institutes in other States,
showing that the cost would be
trifing. He then said snow I'll
touch upon Sores" and spent scvc-
raj minutes upon the question Of Il
now constitution. Our "infcrnal
county government" came i'm for
abuse, also the school system, and
he said of all nuiSanccs, the Trial
Justice takes the cake. He said
we must begin the reform in the
county government. And inst
here, If Mr.. Tillman will pardon
the editor Of THE ADVERTISER, we
desire to give Il hearty approval of
what he said along this line, also
do we assent to the doctrine OF
paying 100 cents on the dollar, and
regret that he did not give more of
This Kind. But this doctrine was
not altogether so popular as hi,
abuse of lawyers.
