4 Bad Year for Rings.

This seems to be a bad year for poll
tical rings, and any man who attempts
to ride into Office by having himself
nominated by q caucus OF few of his
followers is apt 10 be showed unda IN
the primary by the people. Over in
Aiken on the day Of the campaign
meeting at that place a number of Re
formers and their friends met in the
Courthouse and attempted to put out
man for the State Senate. Considtr-
able talk was INDUCED in, but ma
jority OF those present was opposed to
putting out a ticket, claiming tina. the
people had right to select their own
Senator in the primary without any
suggestions from any body. a candl-
date for Office made very lmpassioned
spsech and urged the nomination of q
candidate for the Reformers to vote
for. Mr.. j. @. Everett took differ
ent and non partizan view OF the mat
ter, and urged that Hon. D. 8. Hender-
son be nominated. There was consid-
cradle confusion, when Mr.. +. L.
Gunter took the floor. He said he
disapproved of the whole business.
Hs very rightly claimed that few
men had no right to meet in caucus
and dictate to the people OF Aiken
County who they should vote for to
represent them in the Senate. He fur
ther said that every man had . right
to run for office, and that the people
had sense enough to decide IN the
primary who they wanted in the Off
ces without the aid of a caucus COM
posed of men interested in getting GER
tain men in Office. He therefore
moved that the caucus adjourn with
out making 3 nomination. The
candidate again rose to speak, but cries
of question, ,"'question, shut nm off.
Another gentleman tried to speak,
when motion was made to adjourn,
which was carried amid much merri-
ment, and without Mr.. Gunter's mo-
ton having been put. This ended the
attempt to force candidate on the
people of Aiken County. We fully
agree with Mr.. Gunter. If the people
are to have a man thrust down their
throats by little caucus, there is no
use to 60 to the trouble and expense of
holding a primary election. We hope
that every man who is put out for Of
fee by caucus will be defeated. Let
the people do their own selecting.
They know what kind OF i man they
want in office, and they have abundant
sense to select him in the primary elec'
ton without the assistance of caucus
Of office seekers.

The Fsrmers' Institute.

Inc SrueT3 AHsIIIoLC'
The Farmers Institute held here
last week was quite success. Presi.
dent E. 3. Craighead, OF Clemson Col.
lege, addressed those present IN regard
to the possibilities and scope OF Clemson
College, telling them OF the aims
and plans of the institution and the
great importance of the College in
promulgating advanced ideas in agri-
culture. Prof. NJ. B. Hardin gave an
interesting lecture on the Importance
of pure water both for man and beast
and the danger of water contaminated
with disease germs. Prof. w. L. Nc
Gee spoke in regard to cotton lice and
other insects prevalent on farms, both
friends and enemies of growing crops.
He is thoroughly familiar with his
subject and his practical ideas were
well received Prof. J. W. Hart in
structed those present on the best plans
for building silos and Of putting up
ensilage and gave them a number OF
practical ideas in regard to butter,
milk and cheese making. Dr.. w. E.
A. Wyman discussed very familiarly
on the subject OF diseased horses, cows,
swine, fowls, etc. The very closest
attention was given to his entire dis
cussions. Quite large number OF
horses were brought here for him to
diagnose and treat. The number was
unusually large and they afforded
him an excellent opportunity to judge
of the prevailing diseases among the
horses of this section. He says that
they were nearly all chronic troubles,
and almost invariably caused by ne
glect ard disregard of the proper
methods OF horse shoeing. He gave
our people some very valuable lntor.
nation in regard to the shoeing OF
hores and caring for them generally.
Everyone presnt was invited TO ask any
question that might occur to them and
concerning which they desired infor-
nation, and many responded. This
fact relieved the meeting of much
useless formality and contributed
largely to the general interest. 1t IS
generally wished that these Institutes
will be held every year and the far
mers generally interested in the lee
lures and discussions of such occa-
sions. Should the institute be repeat
ed here next year the attendance and
interest will be much greater than It
was this year. The exercises were
held in the Court House and fair
sprinkling Of representative farmers
from the different sections of the coun.
ty were in attendance, and they express
themselves as being well pleased with
the information and new ideas they
received from the addresses of the in
structors. -Orangeburg Times and
