A Coming Address.

The Executive Committee of tho
Farmers Association met in Columbia
on Friday last for tho purpose of dis
cussing the political outlook and to
prepare an address to tho farmers Of
the State in regard to tho establish
ment of All agricultural college and
other matters of importance to their
welfare. BY tho recent bequest of Mr..
Clemson eighty thousand dollars and
a large tract of land arc donated to tho
State for the purpose Of establishing
such college. This will not be suf-
ticient for the purpose and wilr have
to bc supplemented by State aid. TO
secure this the Committee think that
the farmers will have to organize and
send only such representatives to the
General Assembly as will carry out
the expressed wish Of the Committee,
as stated in the forthcoming address.
Tho Citadel Academy, as usual ro-
ceiyed good deal Of attention from
the Committee, but without any deci-
sivo action as to whether they will
oppose 1t tn toto. The agricultural
annex, too, will receive some atten-
tion in the address, while the phos-
phato question and land scrip fund
will receive full share of the discus
sion.
The main object of the address is to
lay before the people the reasons why an
agricultural college should be cs-
tablished, and how, since the bequest
Of Mr.. Clemson, it can be done with
out much cost to the State, and it will
doubtless be read with great deal Of
interest by the entire people Of tho
State.

important duties to be performed by
the incoming Legislature, says the
Nashville Banner, is the election of
four State officers-comptroller, tres
urer, secretary of State and librarian.
The comptroller's Office is one of
great responsibility and honor,
although the remuneration is not so
great as some other Office. The sal
airy is $3.50 per annum, with the
possibility of earning $3.50 addi-
tional from fees accruing from the
funding of the State debt. The in
come however, cannot exceed $4,000.
He is also allowed $500 year for
clerk hire.
The treasurer receives a salary of
$1,000, with $1,000 clerk hire. The
perquisites of this Office are $500 as
insurance commissioner, and fees as
q member Of the funding board, not
to exceed 81 800.
The secretary Of state has smaller
salary still, it being only 1880 a
year, with fees not to exceed 50, 200
from the funding board. He is
elected for four years.
The state Librarian is elected for
two years at salary of $1,000 per
year, with $500 for an assistant.
The following officers are appointed

THE indianapolis Sentinel gives
the following advice to office-holding
Democrats: "The Democrats who
hold commissions in the Federal SER
vice should give Gen. Harrison an
opportunity to show just what kind
Of civil-service reformer he is. Let
them retain their positions until they
are asked to vacate. Let us see what
the president will do when placed
between the deep sea of his civil
service promises and the devil of
Republican Offices hunger. Let all
Democrats who are requested to
resign comply cheerfully and with
out delay, but let them withhold
their designations until they are
called for, If President Harrison
wants to make clean sweep" the
Democrats will have no complaint to
offer. But they should not relieve
him OF all responsibility in the
premises by anticipating his action.
1t will be fun alive to watch the
grand army OF Republican Office
beggars squirm and hear them squeal
if their President takes his time in
making the sweep, And, on the
other hand, ifhe summary 'bounces'
all the Democratic ofliceholders, the
antics Of the civil-service reformers
will be highly diverting. Therefore,
we say to all Democratic postmasters,
collectors, pension agents, surveyors,
gaugor3, marshals, district attorneys,
department and territorial officials,
don't resign until you are asked to-"

RACE WAR.

This mornings Nashville papers
bring intelligence Of a terrible race
war near Wahlak, Miss, a station on
the M. & o. railroad. A white and
colored boy got to fighting, the father
the white boy interfered when
the father of the colored boy, pitched
in and beat the white man terribly.
News was brought to town, a warrant
swore out and fourteen men sent to
execute in. Meanwhile the negroes
had been REINFORCED, and ambushed
the whites, killing five, and wound
ing all but two of the posse. AT last
accounts the country was fairly alive
with armed men, the whites swear
ing vengence, and the negroes had
REINFORCED and had gone to the
swamps. 1t is feared terrible race
war will be the result.

A Public Building Needed.

A good deal has been said Of late
about the need our city has of a pub
lie building, and when one of our
most prominent citizens urged US
this morning to push the matter all
we could, we consented.
GAINESVILLE is without doubt en-
titled to one. The Government has
granted them to towns throughout
the country that are smaller, and
whose business interests are not as
great as ours. The Government col
lects thousands of dollars revenue
tax from here, and there is not a day
that goes by, but what we are re-
minded that we need such a build
ing. Our Congressman never has
done a thing for GAINESVILLE. If he
wishes to make himself solid with
the people Of this section, he has got
splendid opportunity to dose. We
don't propose to be entirely ignored,
and call on him, to at least, make the
effort. II Jackson, Tenn, is en-
titled to one, so are we, our inter
ests are as of much importance IS
theirs. If we don't ask for o thing,
we'll never get it. Let a public
meeting be called, and We'll push
this thing through to victory.

SOME FACTS AND THEIR MORAL.

The compilation of official returns
all along the line most clearly en-
phasizes the closeness Of the late
political contest.
1t was one State alone, New York,
which gave the Presidency to the
Republicans; and that they carried
by a bare plurality of 1000 in a
total vote of 1,30O,0O0--a margin of
less than per cent.
In the popular vote of the whole
country the Republican candidate
for President was beaten by the
Democratic candidate by a plurality
of nearly 100000. 1t Ia the first time
in our constitutional history that a
majority of the Electoral vote has
gone to a candidate defeated by the
popular vote.
1.-THE Republicans have carried the
House of Representative their major
ity can not be larger than five, and
is likely to be as small as one.
From all this will be seen the ex-
etreme narrowness Of the Republican
victory. Not that that is much of a
consolation to the Democrats, fora
fall from a church steeple is apt to be
quite as p,inful as one from the top
of the Washington Monument.
But the moral sought to be in
culcated by this narration is that the
Republican leaders are not authorized
by the returns to proceed at any
very rapid gait. They do not hold
the country by such a grip as would
justify the alienation of any consider
able faction or the wanton offending
of any intelligent opinion. With
such small margin of power as the
election vouchsafes them, it will re-
quire concessions from all sides and
the utmost prudence in management
to enable them to govern. Any rash
and open attempt improperly to in
crease and perpetuate their power is
almost certain to insure its speedy
overthrow.

A Brigade Formed.

AS previously announced the
officers of the military of the State
met at Nashville yesterday and or
ganized a brigade of two regiments
of sixteen companies altogether, with
a total membership of about 600. 1t
is proposed to hold u State encamp-
ment next year for the purpose Of
giving the needed discipline, and a
flag will be presented to the best
drilled company. An armory is also
among the possibilities. At the
meeting yesterday, Col. S. T. Carnes,
who was in command of the Chicka
saw Guards here during the yellow
fever scare of 1873, and who will be
rendered by many of our citizens,
was unanimously chosen Brigadier
General This choice gives good
satisfaction here to all interested. A
motion was made to receive bids
from the various towns for the pro-
posed encampment, to be referred to
the Governor. This was carried
and GAINESVILLE ought to be one ofthe
first to make bid. A committee
was also appointed to look after the
Legislature and sec that the militia
was properly recognized.
Captain Howard and Lieutenant
Purcell were in attendance.
