A Plea for the Fair.

To the Editor of the Net0s and Courier: The
farmers in this section Of our country are
verv much depressed in spirits, owing to
the short crop and the low price Of cotton,
but I am glad that this is only local, for
in other portions of the county there
seems to be more life, as there has al
ready been two very creditable fairs IN
the county, and another Is to come OH
this week. This certainly indicates pros
perity, and shows that the people are
turning their attention to other branches
of the farm as well as the cotton. Ihey
are tired of quitting all their eggs into
one basket" I have always advocated
diversified farming, and l hope to i've TO
at home. This will surely prove pr,oita,
GROW more grain, potatoes, pindars, sor-
Shum, and last, but by no means least,
more grass.
Ihaye been ridiculed and abused near
ly all of my life for advocating Bermuda
grass. but our people are getting their
ewes open to the great value OF this grass,
both for grazing and hay, and 1 hope to
see il still growing in the estimation OF
our farmers, for I have no idea that it has
an equal on the face of the earth. 1t is
true when we'll set it is hard to eradicate,
but why would you want to get clear OF
10 good a friend; it comes TO stay q let
st stay, but it can be conquered by care
and energy.
ana rejoiced to learn of the fine pros
poets Of our State Fair. That is to the
State what the local fairs are to m
ties. They bring the people together, to
know each other and to discuss all the
various things that 60 to make a farmers
life. and in this way our people are bene-
flied and educated far more b the val
ne of the small appropriation made by the
Legislature, which is the only way the
State has given money for the direct BEN
eft Of the farmers, and, strange to say, a
Farmers Legislature refused to continue
what ever q Radical Legislature did not
deny them, and it looks stranger still to
sea the Governor of the State giving the
cherished institutions the cold shoulder,
while he is using his influence and the
property of the State to help build up
what Is whether intended or notl a for
midable rival of our Fair, Even II every
member of the Agricultural q Mechanc
zeal Society was a personal enemy q
Governor Tillman he ought, as the Gov
ernor of q great State, to he above doing
such a thing, because opposition 10 thls
society is opposition to the best interest
Of the State, for the membership Of this
society are among the best men the State
affords and during my long connection
with the society I have known a
member prescribed because Of his poll
tics. We have no politics in it, but all OF
the work is done in the interest of the
people of the State, and it is my actual
desire that this Society may outlive all OF
the prejudices Of its enemies, and the
best wishes Of its friends.

A Hint to Governor Tillman,

COLUMBUS. O., October W.-At the
Farmers Alliance conventions In ONO,
and at the Peoples Party Convention, the
practice of public servants accepting rail-
road passes was condemned, IL not III
the platforms, in general discussion at
least. The poor man and the wage
worker when he travels is compelled to
buy a ticket for cash. He does not like
to see his servant, whom be helps to ALT.
tie brief authority, riding on a pass ana
waxing fat in parlor car and sleeper. II
also occurs to him that an ot1olal VINO Is
entrusted with the making and execution
of laws should be chary about accepting
fayors from enterprises over which ne
NAV avert a certain MISREPRESENTATION
or executive.
OF these doctrines Governor Campbell
and the Peoples Party, the Farmers Al,
lance and the wage-workers again stanu
together. The Governor during his entlre
official life, including six years IN Con-
press and two years as Governor, has
never accepted q railroad pass, an express
frank, a telegraph frank, q
sleeping car pass or anything free from
any company OF corporation. AS ne uses
all these facilities for travel, transporta-
ton and communication very much, ne
would certainly have saved thousands OF

advantage of what was offered him as a
compliment. ,
Many of his warmest friends are rail.
road managers and officials, Many OF
them were somewhat piqued after ms
inauguration as governor, that he shouid
decline what was offered in good faith
and merely as q courtesy, but he was hrm
in adhering to his established rule. There
was one high official, in perhaps tne
greatest railway system in the country,
however, who said to an associate when
the Governors pass was returned "! al
ways entertained a high opinion OF Gov
srnor Campbell, now I think more of him
Governor Campbells prejudice against
accepting favors of this kind is almost a
hobby. When 8 special or private car is
placed at his disposal by some road, he
will go to the ticket office n purchase
transportation just the same, even though
it may not BIZ called for by the conduc-
tor.

TilIman and tho Alliance.

"Gov. Tillman is making a good Gov
ernor, one of the best We ever had" said
Attorney General Y. J. Pope, of the
Palmetto State, at the Metropolitan.
he is fearless and prompt in the dis
charge of his duty, and when principle is
involved never hesitates. he believes in
the enforcement of law and order, as was
seen in his command to the sheriff of
%Spartanburg in regard 10 protecting the
negro murderer of Mayor Hennemsn Of
that city.

BILE the people may insist on his serving
them again."
"Hasn't he placed himself in oppcsi'
ton to the Alliance element by speaking
against the sub'treasury plan ?"
"He has spoken against that PROPOSE
ton, but the farmers, when they indulge
in sober second thought, are never found
as advocates of extreme measures. They
are u most conservative class. Fol
that reason you will not see South Caro-.

year. The old State will keep in line,
and the Democratic ticket will win as
usual."- Washington Post.

The Biscuits We're Eaten.

Not long ago a large herd of cattle was
resting q few miles from Vinta, in Indian
Territory, before being driven across the
line into Kansas. The boys belonging
to the outfit were a particularly hard
lot, and in six weeks no less than five
cooks had left the camp in disgust, as, no
matter what they did or how we'll the
food was prepared, the men we're sure to
growl. The head boss was in a quandary
when the fifth man left, as he knew he
would have a hard job to fad another.
To his surprise, however, soon after sun
rise next morning a short, sinewy son OF
Erin walked into camp, and after light
ing his pipe sat down on a dilapidated
gripsack and inquired if a cook was
wanted.
1t did not take this boss long to make
q bargain with the man, who said his
came was Macmillan, He was soon in
stalled in his position, slowed his grip
away, and, after q wash in the creek, be-
gan the operation Of getting dinner. The
boys sized up the new arrival as the
beans we're dished out, but said nothing.
Next morning, however, the fun began.
One man asked Mac where he learned to
fry pork ; another remarked that he for
got to put the coffee in the pot. But he
was deaf to all, until Joe Taylor, the
biggest man in the camp, said he would
be hanged if he could eat such biscuit as
those, and if there was no improvement
in the grub at noon the cook would hear
something drop.
At the first mention of the biscuit the
pipe fell from Macs mouth, and he stood
listening until Taylor had finished.
Then, walking quietly over to the wagon,
he fshed out a pair of Colts revolvers,
and marching up to the growler, shouted:
"You amt got no appetite, but you sit
down and est them biscuit, or I'll plug
you before you can wink" There was a
wicked look in Macs eye as he spoke,
and Taylor saw the look meant business.
He had a pistol in his bed, but he also
knew that before he could draw it be
you'd be a dead man.
"Eat them biscuits" came the order
agsin, while the rest of the crowd sat
around with a grin, taking in the fun.
There was nj help for it, so Taylor sat
down, and before Mac let him 60 he had
eaten every biscuit in the pan, and was
stuffed so full be could hardly breathe.
ri thought you would soon find your
appetite" said Mac. Then, turning to
the rest of the boys, he asked: "How's
the coffee" Every one replied that it
vas fine, and all agreed that the pork was
cooked to q turn. Mac stayed with the
outfit several months, and when he left
the boys swore he was the best cook west
of the Mississippi river.-San Francisco

of the negroes convicted of murder at the

May Afroct Yankee Trade In Chilli.
VALPARAISO, Sept. 2-There is no dis
guising the fact that there is a very bitter
feeling against the Americans on the part
OF the successful revolutionists. This feel
ing is so strong that unless it Is placated
in some way il may seriously affect Amer
lean commercial interests in Chill for some
sine. The capture of the Itata first created
the impression that the United States gov
eminent was actively unfavorable to the
revolutionary cause. This impression was
intensified by the action of Admiral Brown
when he visited Quintero bay ON Aug. %
TO witness the landing Of General Canto's
army.
Suspicious Of Admiral Brown.
The admiral desired TO see the maneuvre,
and invited some of the other naval officers
In Valparaiso to come to the flagship San
Francisco and 80 to Quintero bay. Only
the German officers accepted The San
Francisco did not anchor at Quintero bay,
but steamed around until the landing was
effected and then headed for Valparaiso.
Upon the arrival OF the San Francisco here
Lieutenant Dyer visited Intendente Niel
to secure permission to send cable dis
patch to the navy department. This visit
has been constructed by the adherents OF
the Junta as proof positive that Admiral
Brown was acting as government spy on
I,,t ,f1 s,F ha tr
amount of explanation has been sufficient
to remove this impression.
They Don't Like Minister Egan.
Then other things have served to
strengthen the feeling against the United
States Not the least important among
them is the very general belief that Minis.

Balmaceda and has used bis influence in
preventing the state department from
recognizing the belligerent rights Of the
Insurgents Acting Secretary Of State
Wharton's action In ignoring Seniors
Mont and Foster, the congressional en-
voys even now when it is a recognized
fact that they represent the only govern
ment OF the country has increased the
feeling against citizens of the United
States.
Admiral Browns action in refusing 70
give up the political refugees who have
found an asylum aboard his ships has alst
added TO the general irritation.
May Demand His Recall.
IL is the general belief that Admiral
Brown is acting under instructions or by
the advice Of Mr.. Egan. The minister is
expected 70 arrive here tomorrow for the
purpose Of consulting with the admiral az
to the final disposition OF the refugees.
The feeling against Mr.. Egan is very VIC
lent and there is little question that his
recall will soon be demanded
