The average per centage of the thirty mine
StAple Articles above which dollar will buy
Vow. compared to the amount it brought in
1873 is 327 per ceut. That is 81 90 will buy
Is MUCH as 1927 would buy in 1878. The
4rice for which the farmer sells his bale
Hfcotton now is far below what he obtained
Mt it in 1878, but the prices of the artic'e
ff which he exchanges his bale of cotton,
Nave fallen lower still. For instance the
Ayerage price of cotton in 1873 was Is cents
&which bale weighing 500 would bring
$65 co. AT the present price cents 500
Mound bale brings $25. But rs q dollar now
Ntl buy 327 times as much as it did in 1878
u bale cf cotton at S25 will buy as much
&rpcsries Dry Goods, Hardware, ETC., as
K3l.fS would have bought in 1873, being
y difference of SIG i5 ar about IS per cent.
In favor of the farmer today
Il If the difference IN the price of ginning
kagging and ties, and of the seed be taken
hto account the balance in favar Of the far
her will be increased still. Now, that there
y such a general supply of home raised
dorm and meat the farmer of to-day is not
ID such bal way as he thinks, WHICH is
proveq beyond gil doubt by the above figures
Mhich are facts. There is no use to have

tsurs out our true condition. "AGRIcoLA."

Rayhills Lecture.
PROF. Jas. III. Rayhill lectured in the
Graded School chapel last Friday night as
by previous announcem ent. 1t was what
nigh. bo called n talk the principles of
elocu,iou with copious illustrations by read
ings and rectations. There wa, very fair
audience and everybody seemed to have a
good time. Some o. his pieces were very
funny, as the talk to TO the boys; others
were grave and rendered in very impress
sive manner. Prof Rayhill is master, and
his proficiency in his art thoroughly entities
him to the liberal patronage he has always
received at our best colleges. lie believes
in that kind of elocution which serves to
impress on the hearer the ideas of the speak
er, and has some severe criticism for that
which consists mostly of grimaces and con-
tortions of the body, lie also gave an eX-
hibition of indian club exercise, in which he
is quite skillfll. The door receipts amoun-
fed o about twenty-five dollars, one fourth
Of which goes to the Graded School Library

A Fable.

a fable.
ONcE upon u time two lions bsing very
friendly went forth together TO seek their
prey. They had not gone far when they
espied foS S!oatiss over u newly slain
carcass altogether too large for his capacity.
With a tremendous roar they both flew at
the fox and easily frightened him away.
He fingered, however, in q hiding place
near by to await further Developments,
The lions rejoicing in their strength, and
congratulating themselves on their luck sit
down to divide snd devour the prey.
No sooner had the division commenced
than dispute arose. Both wanted the
same piece every time. From argument
they proceeded to abuse, as is usual in such
cases. Finally, each one doggedly declared
that he would have all or mono.
Tho fox observed the gathering passions
and the hardened frown Of reversed love on
the faces of his enemies, and came out from
his hiding place but kept at a safe distance
Meanwhile the lions 60 from words to
blows, and being well matched neither is
able 10 overcome the other.
Thus they fight for some time until both
are exhausted, when either would fain have
asked the assistance Of the fox, yet scorned
such degrading alliance.
When the fox saw the TWO lions worn out
with fatigue and no longer TO be feared, he
walked up boldly and carried of the prize
before the very faces Of his lately powerful,
hut now Sornout onemies
White Democrats Of South Carolina, are
we going to do like tho lions? The Republ-
cans are organizing and preparing to poll
the whole strength of their party, and if We
do not get together at once and 60 to work
they will beat US in the coming election and,
our strength exhausted against onesnothSr,
we will stand helplessly by aud see the state
go int the hands of the Republicans and ne
groes. Now let all good citizens consider
this very grave situation, calmly and quietly
at home, and don't, for goodness sake, listen
to to the bitter tongusd man, who delights
in fuss but never THINKS of the couse-
quencss. 1t may be that personally you
favor Conservatism or Reform, as the case
may be, but would not either be far prefera-
bic to Republicans and negroes?

ROYALTY IN DISGUISE.

Under this heading contemporary states
that "for months it has been known almost
g certainty that a prominent prince or
Europe is now in America in disguise and Il
cauvassing for books that he may in this
manner learn more Of the real life Of the
American people. Twice he has been linden.
titled in the East and each time changed his
disguise and his field of action, for to be
known would entirely defeat the object Of
his visit. A reporter yesterday accidentally
fell upon some data which leads to the CEN
cusio6 that this same prince is now ceiling
books in the Caroinas." 1t is a well-known
fact that we sometimes hsrbor angels un-
awares. This prince may be with us in the
garb of book cauvasser, selling the now

Farmers Meeting.

The farmers meeting which was to held
here last Monday. seems to have been an
utter failure There were some prominent
farmers who were anxious 10 have the meet

and carried it off bodily to the horse sales.
The men who wanted the meeting wonder

est to 90 and see fine horses sold for cash
when they IL not have money enough in
their pockets to buy a chicken.

force and wear and tear of from so TO so
per cent. in favor of the good road. 1t
brings farmers and business men many
minutes nearer to the railway station.
1t has real neral effect in changing
the hoodlum sentiment INTO one of or
derby pride in the good looks of a neigh
borhood. 1t attracts to its locality city
business men and wealthy individuals
in search ola country home. It brings
up property values. 1t causes travellers

where they did once with bad old roads
and makes the hotel and boarding house
