Renters.

Down In Barnwell ii seems that the ALI
ance is beginning to look after the interest OF
the land renter. The Barnwell Sentinel says {:
"Are the Alliance people going TO remain
dumb TO the enormous charges made tor land
rent in this and other counties OF the state
Their poorer members are the sufferers. This
is 4 new song just out, and very difficult for
the mandy pamby to sing
1t seems that the renter pays a higher profit
on the land which he works than can be had
for money invested in anything else. A
cabin and thirty or forty acres generally rents
for two bales OF cotton, and even at this low
price, he pays about $40 rent. That is interest
at ten per cent. Uhe bank rate) on 5000. The
average land is worth only from 81 to IS an
acre.
AS the leaders in the Alliance are supposed
to be either land-lcascrs or office.scekerS, we
presume that this wall of the Barnwel! land
ENTER will scarcely be heard very far from his
own home.
The owners of farms make very little nj
renting their lands at two bales to the horse,
while it is hard to pay the rent, and the two
bales is not too much for the owner Of the
land TO receive.
But the Barnwell Sentinel ought not TO agi-
tate any such question. The interest of the
landowner and the Handkerchief being diamet-
REALLY opposed, the agitation of such ques-
tions will bring dissatisfaction in the ranks oil
"our noble order" where every thing should
be harmony.

E-,orJs M, SI,n a, a, a
Friends OH the &. e. G

Capt. Dodson, Mr.. Southgate and Mr.. Card
well were In town one day last week.
They were looking after improvements In
their road. and expect TO give us as fine &C.
c~ommOdations as can be found anywhere.
The new depot and the new baggage room
are gems, and will be ready for use In O few
lays. Every convenience for the comfort or
ladies and other passengers who may be walt
ing for trains will be furnished.
A regular Stewardess will be employed TO
keep the waiting rooms In order and TO an
swerc calls.
The grounds around the office will be cover
ed with u sand or gravel that will make the
surroundings as desirable as possible. .,-
The track TO the oil mill Is the main track
track below the street crossing. The freight
cars for the oil mill will be pushed up ON that
part OF the track which lies opposite TO the
oil mill and above the Sidewalk crossing OF
The track. ,
TIL turn table will be new and improved
structure, located at the present site OF the
water tank, and will be 80 complete
an arrangement that one man may turn Ii
with q large engine aid tender on II.
The water tank will be made new, ana very
much enlarged.
The cattle shute will be on the track leading
to the turn table, and the Old cattle shute,
which Is in the most inaccessible place 10 Dc
had, will be q thing Of the past.
Hands are already cutting away the bank
on the side Of the new track to make a ditch
to carry of the waller from The oil mill and all
Lle Ihnu OH lDu SluG u IIC tloSh.
A ditch will also be opened on the other side
Of the railroad yard. along the sidewalk to
the depot, SO that the depot grounds may re-
ceive no water, except that which may fall
on IL.
The remainder of the line, which is not al
ready laid with steel rails, Is to receive new
and splendid steel rails. The track is to be
pat In first class order. and the schedule time
is to be shortened. When the track has been
finished, II will not be inferior to any part OF
the main line. ,
In Captain Dodson Abbeville has a good
friend, and n Mr.. Sonthgate and Mr.. Cardwell
will only C me amongst us q little We VIII
win them over to Us, too. .
Captain Dodson lived with us for several
months, and since he has been on the Z. q u.
he has shown his friendship TO us. while at
the same time looking after the best interests
Of his company.
We want Mr.. Southgate and Mr.. Curdwell TO
come back with Capt. DodsOn. We lear moth
Ing, If we can only get an opportunity 10 cul-
tivate them a little.
If Captain Doison Will give Abbeyilie the
present schedule for all tiiue TO come, the
heather may rage and the people Imagine q
vain thing, so far as Laurens Is concerned.

GETTING READY,
Our Legislators Will Leave for Col.
umbia Next Monday.

Our Legislators, and the clerks or attaches
of the General Assembly are putting their
houses in order for their departure next Mon
day.
Ne haven't any good advice to give the
members. But one thing should be done.
The act by which the towns along the G.. c.
y. roied subscriptions TO that road should be
validated.
At various places the towns or townships
voted n subscription in bonds for the building
of the road. The road has been built. ana Il
splendid one IL is, too, and the people should
comply with their part of The bargain.
Another matter which demands attention
is this: If the town OF AbheviIle is 10 he
quor, al least three-fourihs of that license
should he paid into the county treasury. and
only one-fourth 10 the town treasury. 1t Is
wrong TO put any OF it INTO the town treasury,
but If we can get the Legislature 10 do half
right, we will be satisfied.
The sale of whiskey In Abbeville should be
either prohibited outright, or else the people
should have 81 vote on II.
If Il prohibilory law is conditioned on the
will Of the people, then some provision should
be made for It's enforcement, If the people
vote for II. The idea OF expecting the temper
ance people to assume the dirty work Of vol
untary iniormerS should NOT be entertained
for a moment. Let Il paid officer be appoint
ed. lie can enforce prohibition.
Let the Legislature consider the propriety Of
disseminating the county poOr houses, and In
their stead. the establishment Of a Stale insti-
tuition. Either make the poor house q Stale
institution, or Else give us county penitentia-
rirS and county lunntic asylums. Let the
rule he uniform.

AS evidence of the importance.of q mail
route over the e., c.. & n. we might mention
that the Atlanta Journal pays eXpressage or
freight on It's paper to thisa and other points
along that road.
The Press and Banner has been and still eN-
presses over this road the packages for Green
wood, Coronaca, Quarry, and other places.
The importance of early malls is best attest
ed by the subscription which this town gives
to the Atlanta Journal. The journal is an
evening paper, and the e., c. IL n. until very
recently brought it here by nine o'clock next
morning. The T.. & G. didn't bring any mail
until four o'clock, and hence the Journal has
thirty four daily subscribers in Abbeville.
But the4"cannon ball, :" to which the News
and c. urier, the GreenvIlle News, and the
Laurensville Herald objects SO Justify, now
brings the Columbia papers ut ll.G O'Clock.
And the change Of schedule on the g., G. K

only about an hOu and Il half earlier than

expense of bringing the paper to Abbevillr
and other points on the line, that newspaper
could not nave gotten q single subscriber
along the line OF hat road. The subscribers
to the Press and Banner had a right to expect
an early delivery, and hence We are subjected
to the expense of sending our paper out by

Cation Seed Meal and HulIs.

Cotton seed meal is n richer and stronger
food than corn meal, and the hulls are equs
in value 10 corn fodder.
Cotton seed meal is worth one cents pound
corn meal is worth nearly double that price.
Corn fodder is worth SIS a correction seed
bulls are worth $50 a ton.
And yet the farmers, as If to depreciate
their own products, refuse TO buy cotton seeo
meal and cotton seed hulls.
The mills are actually dependent on inc
Western stock raiser as a purchaser OF these
most valuable foods.
But a poor, blind prejudiced creature, WIFE
barely enough intelligence 10 60 to mill, LOOKS
with contempt on the very product OF his OWE
farm, and he longingly looks for the Westeri
mule or The Western hog that has in fact been
fattened on the very product for which he has
such contempt.
II there is a farmer In Abbeville county
who has not tried the experiment OF feeding
cotton seed meal and hulls 10 his stock, ano
is willing to give them II fair trial. let him
come TO the oil mill for samples, and the mil
will give the samples.

Advice About Selling Cotton.

Occasionally we hear of people giving ad'
vice about selling or holding cotton, upon
which we would remark
II there is one thing under the sun o.
which the wiseSt men on earth, including
country editors, know nothing, it is the lu'
ture price OF cotton.
The advice Of a driveling idiot is just as
good, and just as trustworthy as the advise
of even un Alliance lecturer-and the advise
of neither is worth a cent.
While we would not advise any one on this
subject, it seems to us That each individual
had better follow the dictates OF his own
judgment-if his circumstances will permit.
The great trouble with the producer Is, thai
he always expects the crop which he has Tor
sale to rise in price, while the history OF lhe
past would prove that /, goes down as often
as 1t goes up. The record of the past wouio
also prove that 1t never Z, u up thai IL docs
not come down, and IL Is II fact that IL naS
gone down at least once that it has not risen.
Many farmers held their cotton last year.
and all who did SO lost u considerable per
cent. on their CROP.
A few OF our fellow-citizens have set III I"
hold their cotton, and If the price does not
60 up, they, too, will loss heavily.
