WHAT THE FARMERS SAY.

The editor of The Herald and News
has had talks with quite number of
farmers recently on the matter Of a
Farmers State Convention in obedi-
ence to the call Of Capt. Shell, Chair
man of the Executive Committee The
vast majority OF those we saw thought
there was no need for such a conven-
ton, and onlyone, so far as we have
been able to learn, favors the nomina-
ton or suggestion of State ticket for
the ratification of the regular Demo-
cratic Stale Convention. The con-
sensus of opinion is that the farmers
have a majority, and that they can, if
they will to, control the regular Demo-
cratic State Convention, and put for
ward whatever ticket they choose. and
bring about the reforms desired in the
regular way.
Mr.. John T. Duncan, who was secre-
tary of the last State Convention Of the
Farmers Association, told US a few
days ago that a County Convention
would be called, that he was in sympa-
thy with the proclamation of Capt.
Shell, and that he favored the nomina-
ton of State ticket at the proposed
March Convention, but that if such
nomination did not meet the approval
of the regular Democratic State Con-
vention he would abide the nomina-
tions of said regular Convention as a
good Democrat should do.
Another farmer to whom we talked
said: II do not believe the farmers of
the county favor the plan proposed by
Capt. Shell. I think the call unwise
and impolitic. do not believe it wise
to nominate ticket in March,"
Another very level headed farmer re-
marked that if the farmers were not
careful the March Convention would be
like fire put in an old broomsedse field
on a windy March day, and they would
be unable to control it.
Then other farmers thought that if a
ticket were nominated in March it
would have tendency to prejudice the
friends of the nominees against the
ticket. That there is division of
opinion among the farmers as to the
advisability Of such nominations, and
by the farmers showing their hands
this early in the campaign, it would
give the opposition opportunity to con-
centrate their forces and defeat the far
mers in the regular Convention.
These expressions Of opinion from
leading farmers throughout the county
will show the drift ofsentinent among
the farmers of this county on the
March Convention.
We have received no notice of a call
for County Convention, but Mr.. Dun
can said one would be called, and likely
for the first Monday in March.

DODGING THE TAXES.
Two Million Acres of Land not on the Tax
Books.
, News and Courier, 10Th. J

Col. Globes, the well-known engin-
eer, of Columbia, S. c., has been ap-
pointed the agent for the abandoned
lands Of this State. Since his appoint
ment he has done great services as will
be indicated by only a partial report
which he made unofficially TO a Re-
porter last night at the Charleston
Hotel.
Col. GibLcs said that he had discov-
cred 12,O0O acres of land in Berkeiy
which were not not on the tax books.
This number includes not only lands
which have never been returned, but
lands which have been returned at
some lime and have been withheld at
the last returns.
Col. Gihbes estimates the whole
number Of such lands in the State ut
the startling figure Of 2,000,GoO acres,
one-tenth Of the whole number Of
acres in the State. He will remain in
Charleston for some days, ard will then
resume his work in other counties.

,od old t;~stpSho VASE AT CHAPPELLs,
man town, heears ago the question of
es IN horning. rec bridge across the Saluda
-.gh street, chappells in this county was
Mrs. GU of and discussed, and an
She e. was passed by the Legislature
thasmpowering the County Conmissioers
es of Edgefeld and Newberry Counties to
have said bridge built. But there the
matter ended and nothing further was
done.
We are glad to learn that the advisa-
biEty of building this bridge at Chap
pells is again being agitated by the
people of that section. It is certainly
needed and would greatly help to build
up town at Chappells, and property
there would materially increase in
value if such bridge were built. 1t
would be a great convenience to the
people on the Edgefield side of the
river by removing the barrier and the
heavy tax in ferryage between them
and good market.
The matter we are told stands in this
shape at present: Mr.. Geo. T. Reid, a
large merchant at Chappells, and the
Railroad Company have agreed to
build the bridge..to the river, which is
a considerable distance, and we think
very liberal offer. Mr.. w. R. Smith
who owns the ferry, for which ne paid
$500, offers to give the right Of way
and ferry for 5000.
To build the bridge across the river
proper will cost probably about $1,000,
making only $500 to each county, in
order to have free bridge at this place
Il connecting the two counties. 1t would
be worth more than that to Newberry
in a sheet time in the increased valua-
ton of property.
Abbeville and Laurens Counties have
number of free bridges across the
Salude built by both counties without
the aid of private individue's.
We think it is due the two sections
Z of Edgefel0 and Newberry, and the
: tax payers who reside in these sections,
if they want this bridge that the
County Commissioners of the two
counties 60 to work and build the
bridge.

An Incident Showing What a Splendid
Thing Perseverance Is.

An Incident Showing What a Splendid
Thing Perseverance Is.
Perseverance will accomplish any
thing" l had these words for writing
lesson once, and | shall never forget
them 1t is great thing to have per-
severance. There was once a man who
was shut up in dungeon with walls
two hundred feet thick, made of the
hardest kind of stone. He had no tools
except pair of scissors his brother had
sent him in loaf of bread, but he re-
membered that a drop Of water will
wear away a stone if it falls on the
stone long enough, and that a coral
worm. which is so small that you can
hardly see it, will eat up and destroy a.
coral reef if you will only give it. time
enough. So he said that he would per-
severe and dig hole through the wall
of the dungeon with the scissors and es-
cape if it took him hundred years.
He had been digging about a year
when the Governor pardoned him, and
the jailer brought him the joyful news.
But they couldn't get him to leave the
dungeon. He told the jailer that he
had undertaken to dig his way through
the wall and escape in that way, and
that he was going to stick to it no mat
ter how long it might take. The jailer
urged him to give it up and walk out Of
the door, and even offered him ten dol
lars to give up his dungeon to new
lodger, but nothing could induce him. to
change his mind. So he staid in the
dungeon and dug away at the wall for
forty-seven years, and every six months
he had to pay big bill for damages to
the Jail, and he finally died when he
was half through the wall. This shows
what splendid thing perseverance is
and that we all ought m nArsavere.-
