THE PRIMARY ELEcTIoN.

The mode of making nominations
adopted by the democratic party,
while open to some objections, is
more in accordance with demo-
cratic principles than any other
mode yet devised. Tho object of
the Primary is, that each candidate
may come before the people to
discuss political measures and ex-
press their views. The object is
not to facilitate the election of any
particular candidate, but to place
such men in office rs the majority
of voters elect. The essence of the
Primary system is that the people
elect men who will carry out their
will,-mcn whom they can trust.
Now any effort on the part of any
organizations to forestall the Pri-
mary by nominating certain can
didatcs, is contrary to the spirit of
the Primary system. This is the
system adopted by the democratic
party, consequently, it is contrary
to this party and antagonistic to it.
The democratic party is Il distinct
organization. 1t is not simply the
emb0dymcnt of certain principles,
but an organized political party.
So long as this party nominutes
candidates by Il plan diamctrically
opposed to the convention plan
any nomination by a convention, is
i'll opposition to this party.
But they say these nominations
or suggestions are not binding,
they simply show the farmers who
are in sympathy with them. TO
this, we have only TO say: If these
nominations will not induce men
to vote for the candidates nomi-
mated, why make suggestions? The
clubs pledge their support to the
farmers candidates in advance, the
convention declares who these cam
didatcS are, and it is but natural to
clubs will feel duty bound to sup
port the candidates of the convcn-
ton.
y much better plan, and one that
does not antagonizc the democratic
party, would be to let the candi-
dates express their views, and
those whose views accord with the
views of the farmers, will surely be
elected.

TAXED COST.

Rev. SLIoH, of Newberry intro
uuced q resolution in the Farmers
Convention against "TaXed Cost"
Just what is meant by taxed cost.
we do not know. 1t inuludcs the
money which is allowed the Clerk,
Sheriff, Witnesses, Jurors and At
torneys, and how it is proposed to
pay these parties without taxing
their cost, is not suggested. 1t may
be that the Senator from Newbcrry
only seeks to abolish the small fee
that the law allows to be taxed
against the defeated party, for the
attorney who is successful in Il
civil action. If this be true, it is a
small matter, SO far as lawyers are
concerned. Surely the pitiful sum
which the law allows to be taxed
will rot seriously affect the pro-
fcsSion. The only effect we can see
from such Il course, is, thatlawycrs
will addthis sum to the fees charged
their clients, and demand payment
in advance.
But, we oppose such a measure,
because it places a premium on
r~ascality. Everybody knows that
small accounts placed in the hands
of attorneys are often collected
without suit, simply because an ac-
fin,, .f 1, ~ ,-,,,1J ,-I,. .l1:
nj expense upon the debtor. There
arc many men who fear II judg-
mcnt simply because Of the cost,
and if you ENJOY this, some mon
would force every creditor to go to
the trouble and expense of obtain
ing Judgment, even upon claims
known to be just and honest.
The measure we believe to be Il
boomerang hurled at the legal pro-
f~cssion, but which will rccoil and
strike with double force against
the parties litigant.
The fcc-bill regulates the cost of
all officers Of the county including
witnesses, constablcs, etc.
This taxed cost is small matter.
The great burden in this direction
is not in the amount that the fee
bill allows to attorneys, but i'm the
eXhOrbitant fees which attorneys
in some instances charge, under
the sanction of the Court. Here is
where the trouble comes. 1t is not
in the law, but in the practice of
law. TO abolish "taXcd cost" will
but add to this grievance. The fee
bill allows four dollars for a sum-
mons, four for complaint, &c, to
attorneys. Witnesses arc allowed
n dollar day and milagc. If
these things appear burdcnsomc or
~cNhorbitant, Il reduction can be
easily effected. But Il careful exam
nation Of this matter will convince
any unprejudiccd mind that the
trouble is IL above indicated.
The Laurens advertiser. (Laurens, S.C.) 1885-1973, 1886-06-02

Everything in life has a right
and a wrong side. You may take
any joy, and, by turning 1t around,
find troubles on the other side; or
you can find the greatest trouble,
and, by turning it around, find joys
on the other side, The gl0omiest
mountain never casts a shadow on
both sides at once.
Were we content to do but one
thing thoroughly, and in the best
manner, and to let that II thing
be just that which we can do best,
we should attain to Il simplicity in
our labor which would relieve our
tired nerves and replace the jadcd
look that VIC SO often carry with q
serene and cheerful expression.

THE OFFICE OF MASTER.

How any intelligent man can OBJ
jcct to the Office Of Master in
Equity is hard to understand. Yet
we find that there are those who
persist in demanding its abolition.
If this objection should arise from
young lawyers it would be easily
explained, for an examination of
the records will show that before
the Office was created, at least four
times the amount now received by
the Master, was paid to special
referees. In many cases the Mas
ter is employed for several days in
taking testimony, and to require
all this mass of evidence to be taken
in Court, would require ascsSion at
least four times as long as it is now.
This is out of the question. The
Office is necessary. Without it, we
must go back to the special referee
system. The Master is allowed a
fee of $500 for every day he is actu-
ally employed in a reference tits
utterly impossible to find q lawyer
who would undertake to act as
special referee without Il guarantee
OF from twenty-five to three hun
drcd dollars.

About Dancing and Other
Amuscnlents.

AT the Ministers Meeting in Lou
i~sville, Ky, on Monday of last
week, Rev. DR.. G. Hemphill took
occasion to correct certain mis-
representations which chad been
made in regard to remarks OF his
about amuscments and kindred
subjects made ut il previous meet
ing. He said:
"BcforC entering upon the. dis
cussion of the question before the
Association, | desire to correct
some misapprchCnSions of my re-
marks at the last meeting. | am
by some to be in favor of
winc-drinkink, dancing, thcater-
going, etc, This is entirety Il mis-
take, and can not be justly inferred
from anything | have said, here or
elsewhere. On the question of
winc-drinking for example, my po-
Sition is that the Bible does not
condemn the drinking Of wine, eX-
cept when it reaches the point of
intoNication. believe the Saviour
made and used wine to some OK
tent ut least. But | do not con
cludc from this the Bible of our
Saviour can be quoted rs being i'm
favor of wine drinking, much less
as commenting it,"
After stating his views in regard
to the authority of the Church, he
concluded with the following prac-
teal suggestions as to how minis
ters should deal with this pcrplcX-
ing question of amuscmcntS as we
find them:
"First-Ncvcr to indulge in in
discriminate dcnunciation, but al
ways to distinguish things that
differ.
Second-To let our people see
that we do not oppos" their amusc-
mcntS from lack of sympathy with
them.
Third-To rely upon private adj
monit;on rathcrtha public rcbukc.
F0urth-To make much of the
solemn truth OF every mans rcSpon-
sibiIity to God.
Fifth AS a consequence of this,
not to become the keeper of every
mans conscience, but to help every
one to have an enlightened and
healthy conscience Of his own.
History shows that the ministers
of religion tend to become the lords
over the conscience and to intrudc
within the sacred precincts of indi-
vidual liberty. TO manufacture
virtues and vices is not given to
the church or to the ministers, or
to public Christian sentiment.
SiN-To try to lead men to the
higher and more refreshing and
enduring joys of pure and indebted
religion. TO get men to leave the
valley by pointing them to the
brigtcr and more serene ard
nor hcalth-giving heights ABOVE.
| hope it is now unnecessary to
say that | am not in favor of wine
drinking, dancing, and theatre
going. | rarely touch any intoXi-
cant; | never dance, or attend Il
thcatcr; and if any persons desire
my judgement as to my duty in
these matters, he wi. find it in my
practice. But | do not feel author
iScd n Il minister OF the gospel to
enforce my construction ofmy duty
in the premises upon the consci-
ncc Of others"

Resolutions Adopted Jnaim0uS-
~ Ky Shiloh Agricultural
club, May I'D, 1885.

WHEREAS, Il profoud conviction
obtains amongst the farming popu-
latiOn of the state, that rights and
interests arc habitually ignored or
neglected by those to whom the
the lnw-making power il delegated,
and also by themselves; that laws
are enacted inimical to their pros
pcrity, while vicious Legislation has
not been repealed; that u~nncccSSa-
ry Offices exist and salaries arc paid
that appear excessive, as viewed
IN the light of the shrinkagc in the
price Of u chief and almost only
money crop; that the expense of
the settlement of Estates and the
administration of Justice is fearful,
on account of c~NOrbitunt fcC-biliS
and taxed cost, as well as many
other wrongs and grievances, that
we have not space to cnumcratc;
and that for want of organization
and concert of action, they have
been powcrlcSs in the past to help
themselves; and whereas, Il con-
vcntion Of most intelligent farmers
and others i'm sympathy with them,
did meet in Columbia on the 10Th
April last, and pass aScricS Of rcSo-
lutions looking to Il thorough or
ganiZation Of the Industrial classes,
their protection, Improvement and
elevation, and indicating IL general
policy of rctrcnchmcnt and reform.
Therefore be it
RcSOircd, LIST, That we, both as
Farmers and Dcmocr0tS, do pledge
our undivided support to the gen
cral policy and purposes of the
Farmers Convention.
I'd. That in order to achieve the
reforms indicated, VIC will support
for the Legislature only such can
didatcs are in full sympathy with
the fa"lcrS' movement.
Sd, That we recommend, as the
feasible method of procuring con
cert of action, that the Hmbcrsof
the Farmers County Clun, when
they shall have met and organized
according to the call of the County
Chairman, do proceed to select the
names of the most suitable persons
for Senator and members of the
Legislature, to be submitted to the

to be selected from any class of citi-

TIE ADVERTISER desires to re-
peat that the farmers moNcm> ut
as inaugurated by Is. II. TILLMAN
is likely to bring good results. AS
we stated Immediately after the
Convention, we think some of the
proposed measures wise, and some
objectionable. Upon the whole,
the movement is calculated to
make the voters take more interest
in the affairs Of government. But
certainly, those who arc looking
fora reduction Of taxation will not
find it in the proceeding of this
body. Nor will those who are seek
ing benefits from an agricultural
point of view.
We have from the first rccog-
nlzcd 1T as q political movement,
and surely no one can for q mo-
ment, at this stage, doubt our cor
RICHNESS, so far as Laurens County
Is concerned. Yet, as a political
NOV ment, so long as the ballot Is
left in hands of the the people, to be
cast intelligently and without res
%traint, we do not see any harm.
But why a set Of men should dis
claim politics and yet seek to make
political nominations, is hard to
understand.

Lisbon. Farmers Club.

vt Il regular meeting of the Lis
bon Fsrmcrs' Club, on May 22d,
1856, the subject of hay or long
forage crop was discussed, with
much interest manifested by Il full
meeting of the club. The discus
sion brought out a great variety OF
grasses that could, with worry little
labor and attention, be made very
profitable to the farmer. Test of
the sorghum, milo maiSc, millctS
ana our native grasses were given
by several members, showing them
very valuable az forage crops; Civ
ing heavy yields from the lands,
requiring little work and easily
saved or cured, and very .palatablc
to work stock, showing very clearly
that amy farmer al chcaply raise
and save an abundance of long
forage for all of his stock.
The following preamble and rcS0-
tons were unanimously adopted
WHEREAS, the wants of the pcO-
pie can only be suggested to the
legislature through organizations,
and those wants made intelligent;
and whereas the farmers in ron
tt~NNlllDlt't dl NtlllIllIblt, Oh
the 10Th ult., viewed the condition
of the state agriculturally, tinan-
rially and otherwise; and whereas,
the depressed condition of the
country, a t%ributablc to c%Xtrava-
gancc at home as we'll as cXorbi-
tant expenditure by the depart
mcntS of the State Government,
producing patent, widespread dis
satisfaction throughout the state;
and whereas, this condition of our
country cXcitcS suspicion and a
constantly increasing burden of
taxation, necessarily causing dis
satisfaction in the mind of the pco-
pie. Therefore be it
Rc$0irPd, LIST. w" heartily en-
dorSc the entire suggestions of the
Farmers Convention; and most
earnestly recommend its action to
the Favorable consideration Of all
the people, and further pledge IL
undivided support and influence
to ecurc the objects desired.
ID. We most cordially invite all
the trades, professions and Occupa-
tions to join us in Il crusade
against domestic waste and cX-
travagancc and i'm securing an eco
nomiral government in its simplest
form, and guarding the rights Sc
cured to citizenship.
The following was also unani-
mously adopted:
WHEREAS, from the cold and
late Spring giving the farmers bad
stands of corn and cotton, requiring
heavy %rcplanting, and thon the re-
cent continuous and very heavy
rains, washing the upland and
blowing the bottom lands, requiring
them to be prepared and planted
over. The farmers will be delayed
and given extra work to do, lcav-
ing no time to idle away, and this
being Il general election year,
and believing as we do, that the
should seek the man instead
of the man the ohice-thcrcby
saving the precious time of all.
Rcsoired, 1st. That we respect
ask all persons who may think
differently, and are desiring Office
to at least not to be too early i'm
