THE FARMER.
By LILLE E. BARR.

The king may rule DER land and sea,
The lord may live right royalty,
The soldier ride in pomp and pride,
The sailor roam o'er ocean wide;
But this or that, whate'er befall,
The farmer he must feed them all.
he writer thinks, the poet sings,
The craftsmen fashion wondro's things
The doctor heals, the lawyer pleads,
The miner follows the precious leads;
But this or that, whate'er befall,
The farmer he mnst feed them all.
The merchant he may buy and sell,
The teacher do his duty well;
But men may toll through busy days,
Or men may stroll through pleasant
ways;
From king to beggar, what'er be-
fall,
The farmer he must feed them all.
The farmers trade is one of worth;
He's partner with the sky and earth,
He's partner with the sun and rain,
And no man loses for his gain;
And men may rise, or men may fall,
But the farmer he must feed them
all.
God bless the man who sows the wheat,
Who finds US milk and fruit and meat;
May his purse be heavy, his heart be
light,
His cattle and corn and go right;
God bless the seeds his hands let
fall,
For the farmer he must feed US all.

AARON CANNON.
DR.. German moved that it be
received as information. Amended
by G. Duncan Bellinger that it be
referred to the committee of the
whole for consideration and
answer. The amendment was
carried.
Upon motion, the questions asked
in the letter were taken up
seriatim.
In reply to the first question
asked it was decided to refer the
committee represented by Mr..
Dibble to Rule / (of the rules gov
erning7 primary elections as here
amended to read as follows:
The managers at the primary
election shall require every voter
at a primary election 10 pledge
himself to abide the result of the
primary, and to support the
nominees of the party; and to
require every voter in a primary
election to take the following oath,
to wit:
I do solemniy swear that I am
duly qualified to vote at this cleo
tion, according to the rules of the
Democratic party, and that I have
not voted before at this election
The following words in said rule
being staicken out:
Application for membership, or
offering to vote in the primary
election, shall be deemed equiva-
lent to such declaration and
pledge"
The amendment was made upon
motion of Mr.. Jordan of Aiken.
To answer the second question,
the writer's of the letter were
referred to the latter portion of
Article six of the constitution of
the party, which requires that the
club rolls of the party shall con-
titute the registry list, and also to
the amended rules adopted to-
night and reading as follows:
mo person shall vote unless he
has been enrolled on the club list
five days before the first primary
election.
The club lists shall be inspected
by and certified to by the secretary
and president, and turned over to
the managers to be used as a
registry list"
This amendment, upon motion
of Mr.. Bellinger, was adopted.
The committee answers "No" to
the third question.
AS to the fourtl question the
committee decides that registra-
ton ur der the laws of the State
was not required as a qualification
to vote in the primaries.
AS to the fifth question, the Elk.
ecutive Committee refers the
inquirers to the latter part of rule
10, already of force, and reading
as follows:
1.-THE question Of majority
vote shall be determined by the
number of votes cast for any
particular Office, and not by the
whole number of votes cast in any
primary"
1t was moved and carried that
the campaign meetings for the
benefit of candidates for Congress
and the office of Solicitor as to
time and place be left to agree
ment between the candidates.
It was
"Resolved, That under the
coNT,N1ED ON FOURTH PAGE,
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1892-08-04

majority of the votes cast shall be
necessary to nominate candidates,
and to elect delegates to the State
Convention" We are informed
that at primary heretofore held
a serious quetion arose whether a
candidate, who had a majority
over competitors for the same Office,
was nominated, because he did not
have majority of the entire poll
list, some of the voters having
omitted to vote for the Office in
question. We respectfully ask yonr
committee to state whether a
candidate haviag a majority of
all the votes cast for the position
for which he offers, is therby nomi-
mated; or whether it is necessary
for him to have a majority of the
entire poll list though some voters
cast no vote for him or his op-
ponents for the same position?
Upon these questions we do not
desire to consume the times of
your committee with argument.
unless it is your wish to hear us
further upon them. In the latter
event the undersigned will be at
the Hotel Jerome this evening
dnring the session of your COM
mittee where any communication
will reach them.
We respectfully request reply
upon the matters suggested, and
information on any other points
decided at your meeting, relating
to the primary election, to be ad-
dressed to Samuel Dibble, Chair
man, Orangeburge, S. c."
Respectfully yours,

One solitary passenger occupied the

of olive-green cloak or mantle, heavily
trimmed with sable fur. He nodded

Tho Bloodhound Is Not SO Ferocious as II
Supposed.
One of the loveliest dogs ever bred,
one Of the gentlest and most loyal, has
by some curious Misrepresentation OF
his qualities fallen into such disrepute
that the legislature of the state OF
Massachusetts, has enacted a statute
which makes it misdemeanor for any.
one to keep dog of this breeding
within the commonwealth. This is the
bloodhound, which is generally sup
posed to follow the trail of men, and,
catching them, to rend its human
victims limb from limb. If this were
the characteristic of the dog / should
not blame those who have contributed
to his disrepute. But as matter OF
fact, well-bred and well-trained
bloodhound would no more think Of
jumping upon and biting his quarry
than would pointer spring upon the
pheasant or partridge he had scented.
His business is not to kill game, but to
find it. have seen a man hunt in the
hills of Vermont, the only place where
the pure English bloodhound is bred,
and when the dogs came up with the
man they had trailed they only showed
delight at their success, and, by their
cessation from barking, indicated to
the huntsman that they had found
their game. have heard it said that
Mrs. Stowe, in her Uncle Toms
Cabin" did much towards bringing up
on the bloodhound his disrepute. To
see if this were so l read over Mrs.
Stoves book recently and was sur
prised to find that she only once al

highly colored narrative, and never "a
single time brought them on the scene.
She had other objects in view without
going out of her way to malign a
family of dogs. But those who drama.
tized Mrs. Stoves story used the
bloodhound with great realistic effect,
and none of the wandering troupes
which have played this drama has been
so poor that it has not had a pack OF
dogs. But have never known troupe
to have q pack of real bloodhounds.
Instead they have mongrels of various
kinds, but always mongrels that looked

not look so. On the contrary, he is am.

MUNICIPAL EXPENSES.
Cost Of Public Works in Various LarG

Cities.
The discussions which are going on
relative to municipal control will be
enriched by great many facts in the
social statistics of cities that are being
published under the eleventh census.
The difference in the cost of building
and maintaining streets and in the cost
of street cleaning, the advantages Of
paved or unpaved streets SO far as
health is concerned, and the general
conditions resulting from cleanliness
all these facts can be learned when the
complete statistics of cities are pub
lished. Boston, Worcester and Holyoke
are cities in which all the streets are
paved; but Dallas, Tex, has but four
and seven-tenths per cent of its streets
paved, St Paul four and one-tenth,
and Minneapolis three and one-tenth,
while Denver's streets are not paved at
all
The average yearly cost of construc-
ton and repairs per head of population
in cities having over one hundred thou
sand Inhabitants is one dollar and
fifty-four cents, while in twenty-seven
cities for which the census has returns,
having less than one hundred thousand
inhabitants each, the cost is two dol
lars and four cents.
The average annual expenditure for
street cleaning varies from five cents
in Buffalo and eight cents in Chicago
to seventy-one cents in New York and
sixty-two cents in Cincinnati; but. as
the census officials remark, there is
probably no definite relation between
the cost per head Of street cleaning rs
shown by the figures and the actual
condition of the streets as to cleanli.
ness Ordinary observation teaches us
that in many cities where the cost is
greatest the streets are in the flthiest
condition. D. Wright, in Pop
ular Science Monthly.
