The Right Way.

Mai. y. r. Broyles, who was appoint
ed by the Farmers Convention that
assembled in Columbia to organize
farmers clubs in Oconec County, is Il
level-heatled man. The first thing he
did after going from the Columbia
meeting was to have conference with
the County Chairman of the Demo-
cratic party, and it was agreed between
them that the organization of the
farmers club should be deferred until
after the Democratic party of Oconee
was reorganized. This now having
been accomplished, Major Broyles has
gone to work to get up the farmers
clubs and is meeting with great sue
cess. Major Broyles went to work iii
the right way, and had his plan been
carried out in every county in the
State there would have been no opposi-
tion to the movement from any one.
A great many people who really SYM
pathized with the movement, was
frightened off from it on account of its
apparent hostility to the Democratic
party. Major Broyles oviated this
difficulty by helping to reorganize the
the Democracy first. In this way he
conclusively proved to the people that
the farmers clubs would be non-politi-
cal organizations, and in consequence
has secured the cooperation and sup
port of all farmers in the movement.
No one can object to the farmers Or
ganizing. They have a perfect rightto
do so, if they want to, and, properly
managed, the movement will be
great benefit, not only to the farmers,
but to the entire State. On the other
hand, the movement is very danger
ous thing in the hands Of imprudent
men, and might result in the State
being turned over again to the tender
mercies Of the old Radical party. This
certainly would be the case. should
there he split in the Democratic party,
but we do not believe any snch Il CAL
amity will befall us. Our farmers are
too patriotic and sensible to allow
themselves to lose the substance in at
tempting to grasp the shadow. Our
advice to the farmers is to join the
farmers clubs, and at the same time
stick to the Democratic party. 1t is
our ONLY salvation.

If the old Radical leaders who are
expecting the farmers movement to
disrupt the Democratic party and there
by make it possible for them to indulge
in the five years more of good stealing
that old JOIN Paterson boasted of, will
interview Capt. Tillman they will find
that their hope is dream never to be
realized. Capt. Tillman is Democrat
of the Democrats, and discountenances
everything that tends to rupture the
party.

Give Us II Farmers College.

Hon. Kemp Battle, of North Carolina,
in his address at the South Carolina
College, argued quite earnestly and
learnedly against the proposed agricul-
tllral college. Weagree with the New
berry Observer that such arguments
count for nothing against the practical
success Of the Mississippi College and
other similar institutions. Gen. Stephen
ID. Lee contends that unless Southern
farmer boys are taught practical agri-
culture, "strlngcrs who have been cdu-
Gated in Europe or ut the North will
get possession of our soil. They will
know how to restore the soil, and our
poor boys, for lack of preparation, will
become their laborers."
For Il verilicatiOn of Gen. Lees state
ment we have only to look around us.
Under the present system our farmers
are growing poorer year by year, and it
is only question Of time when the
sheriff will come in and close out the
whole business. This is no fancy
sketch, but is Il fact we'll known by all
thinking men. We believe that Il
farmers college on the Mississippi plan
would remedy the difficulty by making
our farmers intelligent cultivators Of
the soil, instead Of blind followers of
theories long ago exploded. OF course
it would take sometime for this college
to accomplish its work, but that it
would eventually do so we have not
the slightest idea. We are heartily in
favor Of the establishment Of the col
legc. and hope to see it soon under
way.

TO the Mayor and Council Of the CITY
Of Orangebat,g, S. G.: .,
GENTLEMEN.-Permit me to call
YOUR attention again to the opening of
the Street in front of what has been
known as the #. H. Legare place and
ON the same side of the rail road.
Such Street would benefit the public
as well as to afford an outlet from the
Simpson Memorial House. Again as
soon as this Street is opened | propose
to lay out Street through the middle
of the above mentioned place, cut it into
building lots, erect cottages and throw
them on to the market. This property
now not subject to taxation would then
become a source of considerable income
to the City and County. I desire some
definite action on this matter as our
scholastic year ends before another
meeting Of the Council and I am eX-
pected to make report covering said
interest. Very Respectfully,
L. M. DUNTON,
President Claflin University.
Oroprob,,rcr 9 ~ Nov Tth 1895
1t was ordered that permission be
granted to open new Street through

Of said Street, keep it in order and
afford an outlet by way of Rail Road
Avenue to parties who should pur-
chase lots or. the Street above mention
ed. That the Clerk notify Mr.. Dunton
of Council action in the matter.
The petition of resident citizens on
Whitman Street was called up by the
Mayor. On motion it was ordered that
the Street be widened at once in accor-
dance with the request Of the petition

The Mayor stated that Mr.. n. ~. Bull
and Drs. j. W. and o. r. Lowman had
consented to let Council run a street
forty feet wide through their property
from Russell to Amelia Streets. 10
lay out that street without any CO It to
the City, it was necessary to obtain
Mrs. J. S. AIaule'S consent for the use
Of twenty feet Of her land. On motion
it was ordered that the street be opened
at once. That the Mayor be appointed
committee Of one to see Mrs. Maule
and that his expenses be paid by the
City. That the street be opened lmme-
diately.
On motion Alderman Fairey was ap-

If the farmers Of South Carolina
want an agricultural college, they
should have it. About $4,000 is now
appropriated each year for higher edu-
cation by the State, most of which goes
to the education of professional men.
Why can't the State appropriate like
sum for the education of her farmers ?
They are the bone and sinew of the
land, and what help them helps all.
We are heartily in favor of a farmers
college.

at 81 Il pound. Mr.. Cleveland does not

TIL: condition Of the country has i'm
proved within a year. 1t has been so
slow and comparatively so little
that it is not easily discerned. But
there has been improvement. Rail-
roads have done better, trade has been
better this year than last, and failures
among merchants are fewer. During
the six months Of 1856, ending with 3Oth
June. there were nearly 1000 less fail
ures than for the first six months Of
1856. The liabilities are also less, being
S5O,43l,OOO, against $74, 600 for 1895.
IFerery man in the County who think
that the present farmers movement
is intended to break up the Democratic
party will have Il talk with Capt. Till
man on the subject he will soon dis
abuse their minds Of such notion. He
saws the farmers Of South Carolina
must be taught to plant something
else besides cotton. and he wants far
mers' college for that purpose. No one
can deny the fact that our farmers are
too much welded to cotton. and any
movement that will get them out OF
the old rut. will be a great benefit to
the whole State.

GREAT EXCITEMENT IN THE PARIS
BOURSE.
An Explosion Attempted and q Revolver
Discharged into the Crowd.

PARIS, March 5.
Peronnier, the soldier who by firing his re.
volver into the Chamber of Deputies on the
25th of February, forced the state to take no.
tice of him, and his grievance, has already
had an imitator.
While business was at its height Friday af.
ternoon, in the Paris Bourse, a strange man
in the gallery drew attention by making an
appearance of aimless demonstration. Sub.
sequently he took bottle containing an ex
plosive liquid from his pocket, and cast !,
down among the brokers on the floor. CRYING
out as he did so. ''Vive Anarchie." The bot
tie struck no one but remained intact, and
made no episode.
A few spectators who were interrupted in
their observations by the mans conduct.
swore at him and asked why the police did
not remove him. The man then drew out a
revolver and shot three times down towards
the main floor. He soon had the gallery to
himself and continued to brandish his revolv-
er and yell "Vive Anarchie." Tremendous
excitement prevailed for while in the Ex-
change. and all business was suspended
The disturber was soon seized and hurried
from the place, but none too soon, as the
crowd, when they recovered from their fright,
became furious, and sought the offender with
cries OF Lynch him.
The prisoner refused to give his name, but
evidently belongs to the working classes. In
vestigation shows the revolver was loaded
with bullet cartridges when he fred it of,
and that a man on the main floor was struck
and slightly wounded.
