Inherited from Calhoun through
his wife, who was the latter's
daughter.
The Farmers Association urged
the Legislature to accept thia be-
quest, and provide for the early es-
tablishment of an agricultural
college at Fort Hill.
The Legislature accoded to their
demands, but Gov. Richardson who
was not in sympathy with the de-
mands of the Farmers Association,
refused to sign the bill promptly,
and withheld the bill a year, when
he reluctantly added his signature
and Fort Hill became the prop
erty of the State, and the dream of
Tillman and the Reform Move
ment was in a fair way to be real
ICED. Thus the college which the
plain farmer Tlllman of Edgeheld
county was 80 anxious to see es-
tablished, and which was the true
root of the Farmers Movement in
this State, was on solid footing
-
at last. Tillman became their idol,
and the success which crowned
their efforts now fired them with
greater zeal to accomplish an ap-
parently much needed reform IN
all branches of the State govern
ment.
So in January, 1890, Capt. G. W.
Shell, who was president of the
Farmers Association, issued the
famous "Shell Manifesto" which
contained call for a convention
to be held in March of that year,
for the purpose of nominating a
complete slate of State officers to
place before the regular September
convention subject to their action.

The administration of the affairs
of our county poor house has never
been better than at present, under
the management of Messrs. White,
Padgett, and Banks. The wards
in that institution have good food
in suitable variety, plenty of wood,
comfortable clothing and an
abundance of bed clothing. Their
spiritual wants are also supplied,
and last, and probably least in
their opinion, their mental papu-
lum is furnished by occasional
contributions of last weeks
"Chronicles'' and "old ABBER-
TIER"
Tight Times.
AS an indication of the hard
times we give the following Incl
dent, furnished by Mat Bigham, of
the Franklin section. Mat says
negro of his neighborhood recently
hired himself to a white man for
the year 1894. The negro owned
fat hog and when lie moved to
his new employers house he. of
course, carried the hog with him
and put him in pen. The morn
ing after his arrival he saw his
employer at the grind-stone grind
ing a long, eight-inch bladed knife.
After he got the knife sharp hc
called to the negro and asked him
if he would help kill a hog that
morning, to which he promptly re-
sponded, supposing that his boss
had a hog and visions of fried
chitterlinga running through his
brain, that he would. But what
was his astonishment when the
employer went up to the negro's
own pan. Seeing this the negro
drew back in astonishment: "Boss,
you amt goin' to kill nay hog, is
you?" "Kill hlm!" the white man
said, "the devil! Yes. Git in dar
and git him out, we're 'bliged to
have sumpin to eat till the lien
opens''-and to add insult to in
Jury began to sing that good old
song:
"Some folks say at a nigger won't steal,
But ketched one in my corn fieP."
1t is unnecessary to drag this
tale out any longer. The hog waa
killed and the negro got the head.

Nothing But a Negro Preacher,
But He DiscOurses Wisely.

Mr.. EDITOR: / am nothing but
a poor negro preacher, and it may
be transgression for poor ne
gro preacher to ask space in the
white folks paper. But the negro
is here in this land TO stay and in
large numbers. His welfare and
happiness are so intimately asso-
eiated with that of the white race
that no political economist can
consider the future of the one
apart from that of the other. If the
negro prospers, the whites are
prosperous. If the morals of our
race improve the other must also !;
they are, in these matters, mutual
reflex of each other. The negro
takes his cue in all things from
his white brother, and what will
benefit the one will benefit the
other in greater or less degree.
When the negro was set free he
entered upon new and untried
feld-that of political self-gov-
ernment. That self-government,
under the rule in this State from
1865 to 1875, proved a dismal
failure, and was overthrcwn. No
honest and intelligent colored man
in South Carolina will to-day say
aught that is good of that regime.
The only government now left
for us is that of the family, every
husband and father to rule over
his own household; and this
brings me to the point at which l
am aiming: That the laws of
South Carolina may and ought to
aid us in building up our people
morally and industrially. We
have no political aims or asplra-
tions.
One law which has already
proven of great benefit to our race
is the dispensary law, and if it be
allowed to stand, it will lift many
a poor black man out of the mud
and mire of poverty and moral
degradation. 1t has already done
much in this respect. The drink
Ing and gambling and hot suppers,
with their concomitant sins. are
already, under it's benefcent
operation, almost things of the
past. Happy homes, bright
and attractive fre-sides, school
houses we'll built and we'll patron.
lied are now taking the place of
well patronized barrooms and
gaudy gambling places where the
poor negro's money gave him q
hearty welcome until it was all
gone.
His hard-earned money now
goes to other channels, and to the
dlspensary law is due the credit
of it.
Let, then, all our preachers and
all our teachers blazon it's vir-
tues from the house-tops, on the
highwaysand byways,in our schools
and our churches, at the plow
handles, and in the cotton-patch.
for it will bring more respectability
to our race in the future and
greater prosperity for the country,
Big with promise and hope may it
long remain upon our law books to
bless and brighten the humble
homes of all our people.

Epitome of the Reform Move
ment.

Thinking that probably some OF
your readers are not fully acquaint-
ed with the rise and success OF
what is called the Reform faction
of the democratic party in this
State, I have concluded, with the
limited means I have at hand, to
search out and place before them
a few facts appertaining thereto
as I am able to collect them.
Well to begin with, I guess you
are all aware that Ben Tillman
may be called the father of the
reform faction. Back in the SOS,
he began by violently agitating
through the State press the neces,
sity of a distinct agricultural col
lege, supported by the State, fol-
the better and more fitting educa.
ton of the sons of our farmers.
While the establishment of such
a college was the true and main
incentive of Tillman, and may be
called the embryo of the reform
faction, still he raised complaints
against other branches of the State
government, and kept hammering
away at grievances real, visionary
and otherwise, until he caught the
ear of the people, and 30 the re.
form or farmers movement 81 il
was then called was set on foot.
He then called a farmers con.
vention at Columbia, which met
April 80, 1886, and at which as
sembled about 300 delegates from
all parts of the State, representing
the sympathizers with the reform
movement. This convention adopt
ed a p' atform setting forth the re-
forEs dema a7ded by the farmers.
In the same year another conven
tion of farmers was held IN Co
lumbia and organized what wal
called the Farmers Association
at the second meeting of which
in the next year, an urgent demand
was made upon the Legislature tt
give the farmers their agriculture
college.
On July 12, 1888, at Florence,
large number Of farmers met ant
organized State Farmers Ali
ance which soon spread all owe
the State. and into which tn
Farmers Association was soor
merged and therein lost its sepa
rate identity.
Since that time the Reform
Movement and the Farmers ALI
ance have become synonymou
terms in this State, and the latte
took it upon themselves to agitat
the reforms demanded by tn
former.
In 1888, Hon. Thomas G. Glenn
son died, and by his will, he left
large property to the State for tn
purpose of founding an agricul
tural college such as the reformer
were clamoring for.
The property left by him in
cluded the old John c. Calhoun
homestead in Oconee county
known as Fort Hill, and which b
