A PRIMARY.

1t seems to be generally understood
all round that we are to have q pri.
mary election for delegates to the
State convention. The, constitution
of the party allows each county to
have its own way in selecting dele.
gates to the convention, and the pri-
mary plan certainly commends itself
to all fairm minded people. The coun
ty executive committee should get
the sense of the clubs and consider
the matter. 1t will be little or nc
trouble to take this vote in II Sc parate
box at the general primary.

THURSDAY, JUNE 10, 1890.
TE6E; CROPS.

While there yet remain twOmOnths
nd two-thirGs of another month be-
orc the harvest opens, and while,
therefore, there remains q sufficient
imo for rain and hail, and storms
and drought, to work their dcstruc.
ton, yet if we ever can enjoy the fu,
turc in the present, this should be an
encouraging year for the farmers OF
South Carolina.
Tho splendid peach crop Of last
year has, it is true, been succeeded
by an extremely poor one this year
but the price probably is higher on
account of the short Georgia crop,
and even if that is not the case, thc
peach crop forms but a small portion
of the agricultural product of this
state.
The decrease in the purchase of
farm supplies, Oh the other hand, is
Ill itself healthy Indication and is
rs marked as l9pcr. cent. on last
year. Corn is said to be considerably
above what it was last year, Will,
cotton, tho main dependence of
the farming class, is at 1O3 against
rs for last year.
The wheat harvest just complete is
3 per cent, below last year, a scarce
ly anprcciablc difference, so that for
to-day the prospect looks bright for
South Carolina, and unless some
thing unforeseen intcrvcncs, the har-
vest of this year will be one to be re-
membcred.

makes much ado about the census
question, and receives much applause.
lie has emphasized the matter against
the senator's who refused to vote for
the census bill, and the charge as it
now stands is "damnublc perjury" ."
The Plckcns Senator needs no defence
here among his friends, but in justice
to these who elevated him to that
Office, the SENTINEL attributes Capt
IllEman's assertion to his ignorance,
and desire for office. There are too
many other election cues, to Justify
any man in traducinG honest and
faithful senator's. This of itself
ought to beat him but it won't.

~ Mrs. Garfield, of Kansas. is a white
woman, but she has a mighty black
heart. She hates southern white
people worse than Ingalls, has time to

she wrote from Nashville to q colorod

the hope that some day "sho would
be in some convenient corner of the
sky, to look down on the spectacle OF
black heels on white nccks." Mrs
Garfield has been beaten for schoo

and that is all they ask. But some of

Sound Advice.

Dyspcptic or bilious headache is
very common, and it seems to me, it
is the headache which is most easily
traccablo to it's cause and most
readily avoided without medicine.
Every one who has ever suffered
from it knows, as well rs / can tell
them, the cause and remedy. 1t is
the old story of appetite, indulgence
ard punishment.
If you wish to know my advice as
to curing bilious headache, I say,
Don't get it. Eat such food rs agrees
with you; be temperate in all things,
and be as regular rs clock work about
your habits. In the case of young
people this headache can always be
traced to some error in diet-as rich
food and immoderate quantity, eating
ut unreasonable or unusual hours,
drinking wine or beer, etc, etc. and
1T readily gives way to an cmctic and
sleep. Almost any cmetic will do
-ipecac or sulphatc of zine. In the
case of elderly persons, however, the
headaches, although less acute, arc
apt to be more tedious and more cx
hausting. Rest in bed, cold applca-
tlons to the head, and some p,mGativc
medicine taken SO us to operate in
the morning, will USUALLY effect cure.

The House II Woman Bmilt..

1t is seldom that q woman plans
and erects house precisely according
to her own ideas. Some five years
ago, however, p foolhardy Bridgeport
man gave his wife full permission to
plan and build a no ise as she wanted
it. Then he went away to South
Americ"y and was gone a year. When
he came back she ushered him into q
dwelling consisting of a parlor, kitch-
en-, bedroom and twenty-eight clos.
cts. In each closet there were sever
al shelves and upward of four dozen
hooks. Still, when the Brideeport
man retired that night he left his
ciothes piled on chair. And he
oid not complain until the next
morning after breakfast. when his
wife met him with q board off n drv
goods box, dozen nails and f,ot;-
ron, and asked him if he couldt mt
up another shelf in that small: olasot
which opened of, tho large front clos.
ct.
His left thumb was still sore from
putting up shelf before ho went to
South America He seized his hat
and started downtown, and a3 ho
went out he noticed hooks Oh the
outside of the front door for the
morning milk-man to hang his wares
on, and other hooks on the front
gate on which distributors of adver
tlslng matter might suspend their
literary efforts. A week later this
house was, burned down under suspi-
clous circumstances, but though the
bridgeport man offered n remarka-
ble large reward for the discovery of
the incendiary, nothing, ever, came of
it.-New York Tribune.

DISTItIt"Y' E'OLI'GECS.

We arc still of the opinion that it
would have been better for many rca-
SONS, to have held the congressional
convention for this district on the 9th
i June, as was contemplated bv the
all for the Pickcns county convcn-
lon. The district is not so thor

have been arranged, rules adopted
md given the candidates fair chanc,
light into the race and settle upon
heir platforms in the hcGiming OF
he campaign. The way it is now the
Onvcntion cannot be held until late
July. The executive committee of
anderson county is evidently working
n the interest Of the farmers. 1t
as appointed the 9th Of Aug, thus
lowing the farmers to finish their
ropa before they begin politics. But
s the ground was too wet to plow in
'icl;cns, our farmers lost no time
rom their work by having to attend
he convention on the 2d day of June.

POLITICS AND THE ALLIANCE.

There has been much said by ALI.
ance and non-Alliance writer's protest.
ing against the organization hayino
anything to do with politics. The
SENTINEL has carefully noted the aro-
uments and deduccd these concln-
sionS:
The Alliance should bring it's COM
bncd influence to bear in procuring
economic Legislation. There is no
legislation without some politics. So
Legislative politics and the Alliance
are compatible. This will change
the direction of party lines in all the
States where the negro is not q
troublesome factor. The democratic
and republican Alliance men of IN
dlanna will vote for the same men.
SO i'll this instance, instead of the
Alliance having something to 10 with
politics, it will completely ignore po-
lltical parties. Wherever this is the
case the Alliance will be for Drinci-
pies and measures, not for men and
parties. The weakness and selfish
ness of humanity will get in their
work in many places, and hinder the
usefulness of the order. The leaders
must wear good clothes. So long as
the warp and woof of their garments
consist of the patriotic motto "Thc
greatest good to the greatest num-
ber,' all right. But these garments
wax old, and from being leaders and
locking well, it is natural to wish to
appear fashionable. SO the next suit is
off cial. The texture of this fabric is
too closely woven for manhood and
patriotism to slime through it. Its
posscssor begins at once to truclilc
for place and power.
The connection is very close, but it
IS outside of the object Of the Ali.
ancc to put names on the slate to fill
non-lcGislativc offices. This will
breed discomfort and disaffcction in
their own ranks. and gag all who b,
reason of their profession or calling
are excluded from membership.
1t is all right for the Alliance to
take hold Of Legislative politics, but
1t IS all wrong for politics to take
held of the Alliance. The man who
is not willing to take his chances on
the free vote Of all good Democrats,
IS not the man that sensible Alliance
voters are looking for.

THE POLITICAL SCHOOL.

The biennial school of politics is
now open, the bell has rung, and tho
boys are Hooking in to Eo educated,
and if the signs cf the times and
newspaper reports are to be relied
upon the "tcachers" are getting
warmed up to their work in regular
"lct her go Gallagher" style.
This is said to be the campaign of
education, and it seems as if it will
be no misnomcr. Verify somebody
will learn a thing or two.
There has already been some five
or six recitations and the people seem
to enjoy the new departure, and if
they do not tire Of the book as soon
as they have looked over the pictures,
they may gain moro or less knowl-
edge thel cfrom. As the weather
grows warmer the campaign wakes
hotter, even now it seems as if the
pot will boil over.
Tillman is the favoritc teacher at
most OF these class meetings, or at
least he seems to weld the "soap
stick the greater part Of the time
with Col. Earle and Gen. Brattol
close on his heels.
We are all bound to learn more OF
less about our State politics from tho
present agitation. Broad and Sweep
ING accusations have been mad,
against men and measures, whicl
have been rcfutcd, and it is now il
order for thc acc,scrs to make on
their case and show up the ncgli
Gcncc and fraud that they claim
exists at the capital.
The more recent converts to the new
departure are the most active in max
ing themselves heard and arc cndcav
orlng to outStrip the head teacher il
giving MS lessons on our State govern
mcnt. The tcnth uf September vii
show how well the people have been
educated during the campaign. If tn,
majority of the people have been con
vcrtcd by the new preachers, thci,
rcprcSC Cntntivcs in the convention or
that date will cast their votes that
way; if they do not believe that o,n
present government is rotten and on,
officials negligent and dishonest, the,
will cast their votes TO the contrary

was married man. And 1 learn all

NhHll Ii u mn

In Il letter to the California Nation
alist, j. S. Barbcc says: "The Farm
crs' Alliance originated in the county
Of Lampasas, Texas, in 1874. TWAS
got up by five hard working farmers
as home protection against the large
cattle Syndicatcs of west Texas, who
made their grand round up every
spring, and it was not regarded then
as stealing to brand all the nnbrand-
ed calves that unfort unately fell into
the round up, no matter whose COW
tnc calf claimed rs it's mother.
"Thc man who had the best cow
boys and worked the earliest, hard
est and latest generally got the most
calves branded. These five men call
ed themselves 'Thc Farmers Alliance.
Their first step was to organize, and
then to cooperate, and the first at
tempt at cooperation was in the form
OF compact, which provided that
first one and then the other of the five
members should be in his saddle day
and night as long as the round up
lasted, and sec to it that their cal, cs
escaped or received their own brands. "

GOOD Advice.

Don't sign, says a contemporary.
But such n caution as this seems
hardly necessary to any person in
the full possession of his faculties.
Yet it is astonishing how many pco-
pie there are including good business
men, who attach their signature to
papers or documents whose contents
might have q serious bearing upon
themselves or their affairs, with
scarcely a glance at their contents.
Carelessness in failing to acquaint
themselves with the contents of a
paper before signing it has worked
incalculable harm to thousands of
well intentioned people. Then read
all papers carefully before you SIGN
them, particularly those that express
or IMPLY anything in the nature of a
contract OF legal obligation.
