THE SITUATION.

From our exchanges we notice
that almost every County i now.
cNcIted over the farmers move
ment. Indeed, we see NOTHING now.
IN any. The same program OBJ
served by Luurcns is now being
followed in other places, ana we
sincerely trust that no greater
harm will result from this whole
sale remuneration Of existing in
situations, and these inccndiary
speeches, than has fallen upon Us.
I%aurens, after the Columbia Con-
Ventlon, took the lead in this new.
movement. When it first appeared,
it seemed that the farmers of the
land had determined to organize
10 promote agriculture. They de-
MED other motives. At length. bv
degrees, Il different element crept
into the organizations. For q time
1t appeared that some men whose
records were at least questionable.
whose views were radical, and
whose only object was sclf-agran-
dizemcnt, would sway the minds
of the p%opuIacc, and upon bare
promises Of dclivcrancc from the
evils of the hour,-promiscs impos-
Siblc of fuIilmcnt, and evils TO \
great extent imaginary, it appeared
at times that into such hands the
government might fall.
This state of affairs, although,
gaining a wider support and no

,Gal.werds t,.,of, oMU.iemionI than
any such revolutionary organiza-
ton since the inauguration of the
peaceful and harmonious Demo
cratic administration in South Caro-
lima, is but an organized effort on
the part Of sore-head politicians to
overthrow the powers that be. 1t
is the legitimate offspring Of tho
new deal agitation. which took the
rounds several months ago. 1t is
nothing more serious than a kick

~ IS convention was moving
along very smoothly until it came
to the Citadel Academy resolution
when DR.. II. NJ. Smith, q candi-
date for the Senate for this county,
and now representative i" the
Legislature, introduced II substi-
tute providing that "no farther APP
preparations be made for the Cita-
del Academy ~ the South Caro-
lima College," which he supported
by Il very iufiammatory and incen-
diary speech, taking the ground
that the South Caro- ina College had
caused revolution and bloodshed
in this country by bringing on the
war, and that, "weighing we'll what
he said" he thought that fisherman
had not done his work we'll enough,
and he only regretted that he had
not reduced tie college to ashes"
His remarks caused great indigna-
ton and were severely condemned
by all Intelligent and right think
ing people, but unfortunately it
WAS getting late, the train on the
Augusta and Air Line Railway
had left, carrying Il good many
delegates, and when it came to n
vote the resolution passed by vote
of % to2lo out OF a convention which
should have held 100 members.
The resolution does not by any
means represent the sentiment of
either the cOnventiOn.or the coun-
ty, not even the most ardent friends
Of Wotford College, who though
they are opposed to free tuition, do
not sympathizc with this appeal to
the lowest feelings and prcjud;ccs.

Broad Tires.

IL is astonishing how many peo- ple doing,htayy hauling still cling to the old-iashioned. narrow tire on the wagon CT drny wheels. No matter how well paved the road, tbcTe many times in Che course of q season that soft spots will ap- pear; besides which few, yards ol warehouse approaches nre thor oughly paved. 4 fourinch t;re will carry two tons over soft ground with greater esse and Jess wear to the team and gearing than Il two md huff inch tire will car ry one ton. The wheels are not so much strained by stones and rough stracks on the road; besides the roads themselves are not cut tip nearly as bad. On tho contra ", they are cut dowh and kept continually smooth. There is an idea pretty generally entertained hy the masses that when tho tires arc widened the ,lraught IS increas- ed by the increase of surface cx- posture and friction; but this Is great mistake, as shown by actual measurement. The wide tire rcdu- ces the dfanght. The extrn tire width costs something, to be suic, but it is repaid many times every year in the extra and easier work that can he accomplished by q team.
 Another prevailing idea among wagon. makers and dtcamstersi is that the wheel must have but little play on the axle. With a fancy buggy, hack, or coach, when it is desired to run easily and noiseless- ly along the road, the hubs should be allowed very little plsy; but with the heavy loading wagon there should be allowed plenty oi room for inc hubs 10 work without grinding heavily at the shoulder or on the nut. When a stone ol other obstruction is encountered by the wheel, if the latter no play it must mount oyer; if, on the con trary there is room on the axle It Will dodge to one side and but little effect on tho team be manifested Besides. tEr spokes and feloes are subject 10 far less stralns. There may be sudden shocks, but, if loose, each wheel will receive footing, thus cqnalizin. instead of putting all on one. ne.-industrial Gazette.

Raise More Co n.

Many of our southern farmers are 10th to raise corn for the req n as trey daiT, that the prl;c does not justify it, as against cot ton. To our mind it is not so much what a busl.el of corn may be worth on tho farm as what 1t may contribute, that is important. When converted into pork, beef or batter, ito true value is seen and more readily appreciated. Be- sides, iti is so wonderfully cOnven. tent on the farm, and Is always salcabls in the spring and early summer at good prices. In the conversion of corn into any con ccntrated or higher-priced pro. ducts. manurial matter is left on the farm, instead of being carried away, when the corn is sold in it's grain form. This of itself, is a matter of no small consideration to the farmer. And with all, good friends, a well filled corn crib means fat beef, bacon, poultry and healthy well kept animals, plenty and prosperity at home, and milk, butter and good cheer at all times, within the family circle.

daughter OF Thomas Jefferson.
From the Washington Post.
Miss Esther A. Meikleham, the great
granddaughter of Thomas Jefferson, was
dismissed from $1,000 clerkship in the
Patent Office last Saturday. Her removal
by Democratic Secretary of the Inte-
rlor and democratic Commissioner of
Patents seems at first glance to be very
curious proceeding. AS a matter OF fact,
her dismissal is the work of Republican
Onclals VINO have been retained from the
last administration. When it was found
necessary under the provisions OF the
new legislative bill 10 reduce the force OF
the Patent Office the selection Of the per-
sons to DO dismissed was placed in the
hands OF a board, every member of which
was Republican. 1t is said that this
DoaId took occasion to see that no good
Republicans were removed, but this has
NOT been substantiated. But the case of
Miss Melkeham is certainty.
sECRETARY LAMAR NOTIFIED.
MISS Meikleham is the only support Of
uel aged mother, who is the grand
Haughter OF Jefferson, and who remem-
0srs MN when, as little girl, she lived at
MOnucello. An effort was made some
bIsuie ago by Representative "Richelieu"
ntoUihson and others to secure her PEN
s.oh' ana when this failed she was entirely
dependent on her daughter for support.
consequently the latter's discharge comes
, WIN all the more cruel force. 1t is likely,
ppo"eVer, that the lady will be reinstated.
