The experience of Mr. R. D. Whitley, an
Influential and prominent citizen Of Martin
dale, North Carolina, will no doubt be

of the country. For years he has been sub
iect to violent attacks Of inhammatory rheu-
matism on the first of February be bad an
attack, which settled in one of his knees and
caused almost unbearable pain, for two days.

There will be very little commercial
fertilizers used in this county this year
Many of the largest and most success
ful planters will not use sack, but will
depend on home made manures-cot:op
seed, stable manure and composts. This
will be one greatexpepse cut of, and what
is made on the farm will not cost near
as much. Economy and home produc-
ton is to be the order IN Sumter County
this year.
Since Capt. B. R. Til!mao has gone to
work sgain-he says be is digging post
holes-perhaps he will work off some of
the surplus fat be accumulated in Co.

Within the next three years the to-
bacco business will be as much over
done as cotton is DOW. Those who
desire to make anything out Of it have
three years before them.

The call of the Executive Commit
tee of "The Forty which is published
to-day. does bot brig US any nearer
the attainmentof a uon-partisau Con-
stitutioual Convention than we have
been all along 1t is barely possible that
the proposed Convention may be pro-
ductive Of some good. bpt we do not
believe that it will 10 all probability
it will be much like some Of the pro-
hibition Conventions we have Wit
messed. 1t will be controlled by those
who are opposed to unity and fair
election Of delegates to thet Convention.
and .be whole question will be so
mudoled and mixed that the condition
will be worse after the Convention than
before it.
We should be happy to think that
the call of The Forty will accomplish
the uni6caeion of the conservative men
of South Carolina in the cause of good,
honest, non. partisan government. We
should be willing to meet them more
char half way, and as it is ve are in
favor of making the attempt on the
lines laid down by The Forty.
But at the same time we urge all
democrats 10 organize for systemas-
10 and Thorough registration of every
voter. We will have to make Eight
for our rights at the ballot box in any
event aud unless We register We shall
be With out ammunition when the time
to fight arrives.
Our plan islsimply this: Let us get
ready to make the bes: fight possible
If the fight is to be in unison with the
conservative reformers against the ring
it will be all the better for us the
stronger we are. If We have to fight
the whole crowd as we have in the past,
we will need every vote all the more.
Organization for some sort of fight is
the thing now.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

A big starch factory in Sumter would
add considerable stiffness to the trade OF
the city.
The town Of Timmcosville has con-
tributed S25 in cash and offers 30o
bushels OF corn for the Nebraska suf-
ferers. ;, Is Sumter going to do any
thing?
Neither the malaria theory nor the
ualaqua theory may be entirely correct,
but pure water makes great deal OF
difference 10 the general health OF a
community.
Captain Tillman has quit talking for
publication but has gone back to his
old trick Of writing letters for the
papers. What is politician without
advertising ? Naught but brass, minus
toe sounding attachment.
The German Emperor is making
ADO over his birthday, decking the city
of Berlin in flags and bunting Yet
the people are growing more and dis
satisfied and bolder 10 expressing their
dissatisfaction. When the Germans
do decide to make change it will be a
decided apd permanent one.
It is said that the big Northern cot
ton nils are coming South for the ex-
press purpose Of crowdiog out the small
Southern mills. This is proof that ii
would be much better for Us to build
our own mills than to spend lot ol
money inducing the Northern mills to
move down.
Senator Tillmap lays down excellen,
principles for platform for new
National patty, but unless these prin.
cipies could be more nearly carried out
than certain other gilded promises
made by the same person, we would
rather have nothing to do with the
proposed new party.
'.' ~ board OF Trade might find i,
worsb it's while to write to Mr.. B Rem
mers. of New York, who is interested
in the establishment of starch factories
in the South. He asks for certain in'
formation that the Board Of Trade is iu
a position to give, and We hope be will
be communicated with at once.
10 one Of the upper counties few
parties are preparing to plan: hops fol
market. This is valuable and exten
sive crop 10 Washington aud portions oI
New Yrok State. We trust the exper.
imens will prove successful. and We have
no doubt it will, for South Caroline
can raise everything except cocoanust
aud few such things.

A STARCH FACTORY.

A few weeks ago we published an
inquiry from party Of Northern capl-
talists, who desire to establish starch
factories in the South, in reference to
the possibility Of securing supply of
potatoes and other starch producing
material in this section should they TO-
cate factory here. Il any one has re
piled to this inquiry we have not been
Informed OF the fact, aud since then the
matter has been at stand-still, simply
because our people have taken so little
interest in matter that is Of real ion
portance to this section.
Yesterday the following letter, which
brings the matter to point was re-
ceived

Editor Watchmaan and Southron :
To-day got a paper sent to me of
your addition dated Nov. IA, 1894,
containing an article on Cassava,
which I must say interests me very
much. Already from my former
travels in Brazil, and now still more,
since in company with several others,
we intend to 60 iu for the manufacture
of starch in the South, from sweet pota-
toes and Irish, and since | have seen
your article would be willing to add
Cassava to it. provided the farmers
would grow enough Of it for our factory
or factories, and that they would supply
it at such prices as we might be able to
aofrd to pay. This latter would of
course greatly depend upon the starch
contents of the Cassava. am Dot
sure if letter would reach Ar. Spann,
as do not know his postal address. |
therefore send these lines to you iu the
expectation, that you forward this to

The question is thus put directly to
the business men Of the city and the
farmers Of the vicinity. Do We want
a starch factory in Sumter VIII the
business men of the city take stock in
it? Will the city allow such factory
privileges Will the farmers grow
sweet and Irish potatoes and cassava
in sufficient quantities to supply the
factory? If we want the factory an
effort must be made. as it will not
come TO Sumter, whether We will or not.
There are hundred of towss just as we'll
located as Sumter aud there is no parti-
cular reason why factory should be
located here
In the West starch factories pay
fifteen cents per bushel Of sixty.six
pounds for Irish potatoes, and twenty
cents per bushel of sixty-six pounds
for sweet potatoes, getting one cent a
bushel for each per cent of starch
found in the material Can the sweet
potatoes be produced in large quan-
tiles aud sold for twenty cents a
bushel? We believe that potatoes can
be sold at this price and have good
profit to the planter. We have been
told time and again that 200 to 400
bushels of potatoes can be produced
per acre and at twenty cents bushel
potatoes will be long ways ahead OF
cotton as a money crop.
Here is an opportunity. What shall
we do with it.

President Cleveland's Message does
not open the way for the settlement of
the financial difficulties of the govern
ment, and is decided disappointment.
His suggestion that an issue of fifty
years three per cent bonds be made and
that the legal tender notes be cancelled
will not meet with the approval Of the
country aud there is scarcely a posi-
bility that Congress will accept it. The
effect of his plan would be to place the
currency more completely than ever IN
the hands of the national banks, and
contract the currency by the elimlna-
tion of the legal tender notes. There
might be an expansion Of the currency
if the holders of the new bonds should
see 6t to establish banks and issue
circulation, but the desired Aexibility
Wc1!d not be obtained. w nat the
country needs now is an entire change
in the 6nncial system that would
! place both the government and
the people at large in a position iode-
pendent of the allied capitalists Of New
York. They are now using the
government as money making
appendage to their business, and
through it they levy an indirect tax
upon the entire country. They desire
to increase the tax, and have cornered
tbe goi supply. and the government be-
ing short must continue to pay up the
margins as long as they continue
the present system.
