HEDgESDlT, AUGUST 81, 1892.
THE PRIMARY ELECTION.

The primary is over. With the ex-
cegtion of an unfortunate affair at
Newberry everything passed off very
quietly.
The Tirlmaa electors carried a ma
iority of the vote of the county. 1t
took strong pressure from the leaders
TO keep the boys in line, but they were
apparently well drilled.
The caucus legislative ticket got
through also. The caucus seems to
have done effective work.
The Conservative candidates for the
Legislature made manly fight and
fEsugh beaten with the ballots have
nothing to regret.
But the people have spoken by their
ballots and it is our duty to bow to
their viii.
The Herald and News has no regrets
for the stand it has taken in this fight.
We have kept ourselves in that frame
Of mind to accept the inevitable with
as much grace and complacency as
anyone could. It will be our pleasure
as well as: duty to support the nominees
OF the party. IF Mr.. Tillman secures
the nomination for Governor at the
hands of the September convention
The Herald and News viii give him
It's support. The fight must end with
the primary. All candidates, and all
who took part in the primary, are
pledged to-support the nominees of the
primary.
The white people of the State must
maintain united front, for they can
not afford to divide if they were so
inclined.
Let Us all forget ealr factional differ
ences and work for the nominees,
whether they be our preference or not.
There is no nomination for Sheriff,
County Commissioners OF Coroner.
The second primary will be held on
Tuesday, September IS.
By reference to our table you will see
who are to run the second race, and
also who are nominated.
There is no return from Maybinton,
hut we understand that most of the
tAIaybinton people voted at Glymph-
vile. Our Information last night was
that all voted there but four and their
vote would not change the result.
Fhe Herald and News is glad it is
over.

llqznsaSSssffw that the election is over We
vii have time to devote to other mat
ters
At this writing the result is un-
known, but whatever it may be, The
Herald and News hopes everybody
including the candidates-will he in a
good humor, and that we will work
for the nominees, and that peace will
again reign. Factional differences
should be forgotten and laid aside.
It is very foolish for men to fall out
with each other over an election.
Many of those who have INDUCED in
bitter speech will regret it after the
smoke of battle has cleared away and
in their cooler moments they come to
reflect over the past.
But these things are now in the past
and we must turn our eyes to the
future.

We understand that the accidental
omission of Rev. Mr.. Sligh's name
from the little local in The Herald and
News last week as one of the Tiiiman
zeleesefs, was made the occasion of 6
bitter attack on the editor Of The Her
aid and News by some Of the speakers
at the last campaign meetings last
week.
# st was very small piece Of business
on the part Of those who engaged in it.
: We will not answer them in kind nor
even attempt to handy epithets with
them.
Mr.. r. H Greneker, Jr-, publishes
statement in this issue which ought to
be sufficient for any reasonable man.
It is great pity that partisan or fac
,-tional feeling could so far get the better
of men that they will take hold of such
matters and in order to advance their
own interests, and without cause, try to
prejudice the people against private
citizen and to injure his + Less. 1t
is one of the sad things of this cam
paign through which We hsvejust gone.
Men have rushed to conclusions and
taken hold ofanything and endeavored
to make capital Off
The thoughtful man can see nothing
but danger to our institutions by this
plan of personal abuse upon which our
political discussions have been placed.
But it is rot our purpose to write Of
this now. Our only purpose was to
have the facts stated for the sake of
truth.
Those men who have undertaken to
do us injury, as honorable men should
endeavor to repair the injury they have
undertaken to do US.
The editor Of The Herald and News
was born in Newberry County and has
spent>2early all of his life here, and
feels that elias made some reputation
for fairness and honesty and is willing
to trust the result of this small effort to
injure him to the people Of Newberry

REBELS ROUGHLY TREATED.
After They had been Defeated the Heads OF
the Slain Were Get OF.

TASGIER, August 29.-The Sultan's
cavalry and infantry started on an ex-
pedition into the country of the rebel
lious Angheras this morning. After
burning four villages they met the main
body of the insurgents. A brisk e1-
change of muskery shots followed, but
in a short time the majority Of the
rebels fed. A few Of the insurgents
fought desperately until Haman, their
leader, seeing the battle was lost, fed.
The troops then returned to Tangier
with the heads Of the rebels they had
killed, for which they will receive SS per
head from the Sultan's treasury.

WEEK OF ANXIETY.
J. New YORK, August 29.-This is
likely to be busy and anxious week
for health officials who stand guard
over the entrance to New York. An
extensive feet of foreign vessels from
all parts of Europe, many of them d.
rect from cholera infected districts, are
scheduled to arrive here, and with the
spread Of the disease abroad the chances
of its being imported here is consid-
cred alartningly great and ever-in-
creasing.
The same scTupulous vigilance that
has marked the work of the health Of
ficers at quarantine ever since the FRS
news of the appearance of the disease
in ports of Europe reached here will
continue to he maintained, and if such
thing he possible even greater pre-
cautions will be taken.

Western state which has seen fifty years Of
American farming, is beginning TO show it.
Why IS thisl It is because the average
American farmer has despised knowledge
and has condemned study and research. He
does not believe that there is such a thing
as the science of agriculture. He does not
believe that wisdom and understanding
concerning farming can be taught 70 him"
The Massachusetts Ploughman of Boston,
says: This is doubtless true of the West
and South, and yet Governor Hoard ought
to be well informed enough to know, as we
feel sure he is manly enough to acknowl-
edge, IL he will take pains to inform
himself, that many New England farms in
the hands of our live Yankees are improving
in productiveness very rapidly, SO that the
largest crops per acre Of corn and potatoes
and hay Of the whole country are now pro-
duced in New England
We feel Ike taking the Pploughman by
the fur about as the Plorghmsn has taken
Governor Hoard by the fur, over the for
mer's want of information relative to the
Southern states, aud especially relative to
Texas. A few test or premium plats in
New England may have shown astonish-
ingly large yields, but reference 10 these
does not at all show what region Of coun-
try is doing. The average is what we must
figure on, and when we figure in this way
we will find that the average yield of corn,
potatoes and hay in Texas is more than
double that of New England.
Governor Hoard is probably correct in
his statement that lands which have seen
fifty years of culture on the old plan are
beginning to show it, but we must contend
that such lands show it less in Texas than
in any othe1state Of the Union. Our Texas
lands are peculiar, particularly our prairie
lands. They lie Immediately atop of rock
deposits extremely rich in those indispen-
sable mineral elements of plant food, phos-
phorus and potash. Minute particles of the
underlying rocks are thickly distributed
through these soils, all in an advanced state
of disintegration. They are rapidly dis
solving and setting free the elements
named; so rapid in fact that, as a rule,
these elements are renewed in the soil as
rapidly as they are taken out by crops.
There is one important element that our
decomposing rocks do not restore, however
The same can be said Of all other soils.
Humus is a vegetable element and must be
restored through a decomposition of vege-
table matter. If we give that element to
our soils by applying and turning in vegeta-
bic matter of some kind or other, fifty
years of culture, or, indeed, perpetual Gull
ture can show no bad effects upon them
This popularity of our Texas soils makes
them the very finest soils in all North
America. No other soils of this continent
are made up of the same rock formation "
ing Immediately under them, and constantly
exerting an influence upon the surface, as
are the prairie soils Of Texas. Any we'll
informed geologist will tell you that this is
an unquestionable fact.

nook FARMING PAYS.

There are two or more kinds of book
farming, according to the American Agri-
culturist. The old standard idea of that
phrase is one where the farmer is struck
with notion that if he reads much his
farm will run itself. There are few book
farmers of this stamp, but nearly all are
gone or become sensible. The more man
reads and studies in these days the more he
sees TO read and study, and having become
interested in fine crops attempts in the best
way 10 produce them. But the kind of
book farming here to be advocated above all
others is that where q blank book is kept
into which notes are being constantly
entered. In short, farmer should keep
a blank book Of every field, and the longer
he keeps it the less blankit becomes and the
better the business of the accountant In
this manner farmer win soon know his
farm as the saying is: KNOWING ones
neighbor like BOOK

than the eggs of almost any other breed.
The hens make good sitters and mothers,
giving their young the most unwearied
care The flesh is entirely desirable for
the table either as adults or broilers.
The Wyandotte breed Of fowls is said to
be a cross between Winnebago male and
Silver Wyandotte female. The editor of
Farm Poultry says of them: 'gThey are
certainly very superior breed Of fowls.
Their fine shape, beautiful markings, rich
plumage and generally high bred carriage
assures them the admiration Of every be-
holder. They are remarkably beautiful and
are unrivaled for attractiveness, being also
very docile and can be handled at pleasure
when sitting. As for, rearing chicks they
are unequaled. Certain it is the Golden
Wyandottes are rapidly growing in favor
Combining beatty and utility in remark
able degree, :hey deserve the appreciation
so freely accorded them"

FRosTBITTEN SORGHUM.

With much interest I have read the let
tiers, ETC., going through The GAZETTE
relative to frostbitten sorghum. For seven
years / have grown sorghum exclusively
for my stock and to make hay for sale, and
every year have pastured either the FROST
bitten stubble or the second growth. II our
friend at Italy, Tex, had happened on my
farm in the latter part Of November last he
would have seen my cows running on
second growth sorghum from knee high to
hip high. He might also have seen on
Messrs. Chapman 4 Smiths stock farm at
Dublin, Tex, 100 hesd or more of all grades
OF cattle pasturing on second growth sor-
ghum. Prostitution sorghum will not kill q
COW any quicker than would unfrosted sor
ghum, nor will it hurt them any more than
would green clover, green corn, green oats
or green wheat. Either of these may kill
cow if let in on them when very hungry, or
if an over ration of them is fed when the
COW is IN this hungry condition. There is
absolutely no danger to be apprehended
from frosted sorghum if stock is kept from
getting too much of it before it drys out
little after having been nipped by the frost
A few days of sunshine VIII cure it and
make it entirely safe.
could say much more relative to grow
ing sorghum as a stock feed, that think
would be of benefit to inexperienced per-
sons, but fear that I have already made my
letter too long. This is the first letter that
1 ever attempted to write for publication,
but I am thoroughly interested in your
good work, and have found myself very en-
thusiastic at times over your articles

Thanks. We are taking no part in this

the fact that we know nothing whatever

BUSINESS IN FARMING.

In an address lately delivered before a
meeting of Massachusetts, farmers, Mr.. A.
r. Eastman said the farmer should study
to draw information, and learn lesson
thereby from other industries. All others
have men at their head who have knowl-
edge of all their branches and needs. They
know what every article costs from the
time,it is started Till it is finished and
shipped. The farmer should know fully as
much, but he does not as a too common
rule, and what is more, persists in plod-
ding along without any thought of making
better his condition by understanding the
business affairs of his business.
An our wealth came originally from the
farm and the mine, said Mr.. Eastman The
miner knows how much each ton of coal or
ore costs to mine it, and how much it costs to
transport and put it into the final purchasers
hands. Why should not the farmer know
just as much about his products; and why
does he refuse, year after year, to put him
self in possession Of this knowledge2 He
should not only know what every product
costs, but from which comes profit or loss.
Only by studying his business in every de-
tall can he know this, and it includes a
knowledge of the value Of fertility taken
from the soil by every crop he
raises, as fertility is an item of
expense. If the grower of a crop
knows all this, aud the other items Of
cost, and has an account of the amount Of
sales and the money received, he will
know if he has lost or made money during
the year.
Intelligent farming, like intelligent d.
recting of any other industry, viii alone
insure success. The farmer, hereafter, in
any locality, or in any branch of diversified
farming. must have a thorough knowledge
of it or he will fail He cannot longer fol-
low in the old beaten path, nor pursue the
idiotic haphazard methods of his grand
fathers. The times have changed and we
have changed with them-that is, some Of
US have, and the others must, or the sheriff
will sell them out.
For example, in old times for this coun-
try we could skim the lands and get along
fairly well on the comparatively maeger re-
turns they gave us, but not now. We must
go deep enough to bring all our soil into
use, and to utilize all the moisture thrown
upon it by nature Every edge must be
made to cut, and we must know that every
edge is cutting before we can know that
we are engaged in a safe business.
