Farmers and Politics.
I. b. CREWS, Secretary.

The SPIRIT Of the Farm, of Nash
vile, Tenn, claims that when a
farmer becomes a politician he
ceases to be useful on the farm.
1t is neglected and goes to waste
and ruin. The. farm demands the
whole time and attention of its fol-
lowers, and it is the same with
politics. The one or the other must
Succumb, and as a rule it is the
farm which suffers.
TO this the TObuccO Leaf, of
~Clarksville. Tenn, responds with
the assurance that the spirit Of the
ram need not cOniinc its remarks
on this subject to farmers. There
full time from those who engage in
it. The merchant who dapblcS in
pOliti : finds after a time that his
nelghhor, more attentive to bust
ness than he, gets the lions share
of the trade, while the lawyer re-
turns to his Office after Il season ut
the state or National Capital to
find the bulk of his practice in other
hands.
But, on the other hand, if the
Offices m not placed in the keep
ing Of good men the country goes
to the demnitiOn hOW-WoWS and the
Individual goes with it. Something
is demanded of every patriot, and
the patriotic farmer can serve his
country as faithfully rs the lawyer,
in whose breast the love of country
burns as Il consuming fire. The

One Of the advantages from har-
rowing corn is that a man with n
smart team will run over fifteen
acres or perday. The smooth
ing harrow takes a width Of eleven
feet, and as only scratching the
surface is desired no tapping is
needed.
There ia very little gained by
turning under a crop of timothy as
green manure. It's roots do not
run so deeply rs those Of clover,
and the crop, even when used as
green manure, does not ameliorate
the subsoil. 1t is, besides, more
valuable for a hay crop for market
than either clover or any other
grass.
In selecting a SOW for breeding
choose one that is quiet and mild
in disposition. She may be the
one that will lay on fat most easily,
and it will therefore be necessary
to feed sparinGly, but she will be
all the better as a breeder for this

Col. h. p, Todd.

RUTHERFORD PRESSIEY ToDD was
born at Laurens G. H., =. CHI Feb. 1884,
and died August 18th, 1856. He was
oducatrui IN the school ut LaUrens, was
sent to ErSkinc College and graduated
at the South Carolina College in 1855.
He rrad law in the office of Col. J. II.
IRBY and in 1856, WAS admitted TO the
Ba:. AZ the beginning OF tho war he
Joined i volunteer company attached to
the Ord :. G. Regiment and MAS elected
captain. In 1852 he was reelected, and
from time to tine was promoted, until
at the close of the war he was in COM
m&nd of the regiment. His company
was ordered into service in April, 1851.
and he continued in service until the
surrender.
Cor. ToDD wa Il fine soldier and 4
gallant, dashing officer. He received
three serious wounds; at Fcdrick Sburg,
Chicamauga and in the Shenandoah val
ley Campaign. From these wounds he
entirely recovered. After the
close of the war, in 1856 he vas elected
to the Legislature. and soon aftcrward
was appointed Deputy Solicitor for I.au-
rCns District, he continued in Office un-
til reconstruction when he resigned.
lie married Miss MARY FARLEY in
1866. The democratic convention which
nominated County officers in 1876, sclcc-
ted Col. TODD as State Senator. and he
was elected. In 1850 he was defeated by
Col. j. w. FERGUSON, and in 1851 he was
again elected Senator without onposi-
ton.
The sad intelligence Of the death
OF this distinguished citizen, will be re-
cicVcd by those throughout the State,
who have known him as soldier, states
man, patriot or friend, with u feeling Of
profound regret. The deceased, WAS an
able lawyer and an elegant orator.
Although frequently called to como be-
fore the people for political honors, his
record, both in public and private life,
has withstood criticism, and his name
will 20 down the ages, as Il politician
upon whose cscutcheon, no stain has
ever rested.
Col. ToDD was a man of decided views,
and ho gave expression to them fear
lcsSly whenever tho occasion required.
He was true to his friends, and ever
faithful TO the cause III which he en-
gagged. With broad and liberal views,
nc was always ready to lend a helping
hand towards the furthcranco OF public
enterprises, and the successful compile
ton of tho Greenwood. Laurcns and
Spartanburg Railroad, is due, in a largo
measure, TO his influence and personal
rXcrtiOn.
In his death the I.aurens Bar has lost
ajust I'D honorable member, the Coun-
ty n valuable citizen, and tho state an
able champion of virtue and progress.

pay 80, so, or GO dollars per annum,
would the people still be willing to
give a State appropriation? We
think not. They would say, l am
not willing to be taxed for this
school, if my boy must pay for the
privilege of attending. Hence the
appropriation would cease, and it
would hc expected that the inSti-
tuition would be sustained by the
tuition of patrons. This would
make the very existence Of the
school prccarious. Even the sala-
RIGS of the professors would depend
upon contingencies. Men who
have by merit attained distinction
as professors, would scarcely come
from institutions where a fixed
salary is guaranteed, to accept
such q precarious situation. 1t
would he impossible to give n
guarantee, as the number of stu
dents would depend upon the IL
nancial condition of the country,
crops, &c. Hence, we think the
standard Of the college would be
lowered, and its usefulness greatly
impaired.

to have said in Il recent speech,
that ait WAS no honor to be among

Now, we al admit that there are
some thing! in connection with
our State government that al be
improved. Some measures could
be passed by Our legislature with
benefit to the state, but Mr.. TILL-
MAN will find it uphill business to
make the good people Of South
Carolina, the red-shirt democra-
cy of the State, believe that in the
famous struggle Of that memorable
year, 1886, that the demo ratio vo-
tcrs made a mistake, and elected
"dehascd and corrupt men.

says "cotcric OF debased and cor

JETEK. IIAGOOD and THOMPSON
have occupied tho gubcrnatorial
chair since the democratic party
has been in power. Thesc gentle
men, whose records in private or
public life will compare f~avorably,
not only with Mr.. TILLMAS, but
any man living, are now called
"debascd and corrupt" Do the
farmers Of South Carolina endorse
this accusation.
Mr.. TILLNAN says his one object
is to benefit farmers. He is q
"wool hat" and q "One-gallus" man.
His movement is not political,
The Abbeville Press and Banner
reports him as using these strong
words: God forbid that I should
be so low and debased az to meet

crowd at Columbia, unless | go

duty"
"Low crowd at COIumbia." Now
who compose that crowd, with
whom he is too pure to commingle?
Taking this uttcranca in connec-
ton with the former speech, and
the conclusion is forced upon us
that Mr.. TILLMAN alludcs 10 the
government officials.
So much for what he says. Now
let us look at his actions. We see
him in Columbia, at the head of

in the interest of a particular can
