According to his own statement
constable Elliott raided Mrs. Noltej?
premises, in Charleston, at the suggestion
of a negro and was under the influence
of liquor at the tine. Is this
the Governor's standard of gentility.
To wiiat have we c:>?ne? A whiskey
constable was convicted, after a fair
irial, ot assaulting a white woman in
Charleston and the Governor ot the
State quickly pardons him. The manhood
of thu old State should blush for I
baaiui;.
If "Bunch" ilcBee should happeu
to be elected Governor, it would be
mighiy hard to bamboozle him, for he
has ali the secrets of the rabbit foot
professiou at his fiugers end?. He
ku?ws the business so thoroughly is
why he to?k the old Bliuker in so
easily.
Thk Charlotte Observer says that
more iutelectual activity is manifested
in Charlotte and throughout the whole
State than has been witnessed in
twenty years. Charlotte is growing
financially, and we are glad to Know
that if. is improving not only materially,
but intellectually. Material
progress without a corresponding in ?
tellectual growth produces the wo;st
kind of narrowness.
In spite of the hard times and discouraging
outlook the new? comes
that tae farmers hare gone to work in
earnest looking only to the hope of the
future. There is something iu the
newly turned soil which brings hope,
and The News axd Herald joins the
farmers in putting behind us the disappointments
of r93, and in pushing
forward to better times. The recuperative
powers of this Southland are
wonderful and let us hope that the
close of the rear 189? will bring with
it a prosperity which shall abide with
us.
"VYe are requested by the gentleman,
who suggested the ticket published a
few days ago, to say that he is not a
"Straightout." This gives more weight
to his suggestion, and if the conservative
Tillmanites wish to elect a good
ticket like that we shall certainly offer
no objections, but the past has proven
that the "Conservatives" can do nothing.
If any change for the better is
to be made in our State government,
it must be done by the thinking and
conservative men among the "Reformers."
"We hope that it will net be

-~__,Tiie dispensary law is bad enough,
but when the "spies" begin to slap
women wo shall not be surprised if
some of its strongest advocates should
condemn and resent such proceedings.
"We have never had any words of censure
for the administration in trying
to enforce the law as far as its provisions
will authorize, but we cannot
approve of the Charleston proceedings.
The law is wrong in principle and the

JU-lV/lt lb IO V1UVXV/VU ".iiv vjvmiav*. -v v
comes evident that it is a bad piece of
legislation that should be repealed.
"We hope that Governer Tillman will
continue to try to enforce it, and this
will reveal its bad features.
The congestion of money in New
York, and other money centres shows
a very unhealthy condition of business, i
and may result in stimilating speculation
to a dangerous extent. It also
shows lhat it is not more money that
i? needed but such laws and conditions
as shall restore confidence and stimulate
enterprises. With the unjust tariff
law? repealed, the llnauciai policy or
the country based on sound and honest
money and the disappearance of
the wild cat financial herisies of the
populism, this great reserve energy,
n?\v lying idle in the vaults of big
banks, \ri!l go out amonj? the people
fructifying labor and bringing hope !
in the future. And this i? what is j
expected of ihe Democratic congress
now in session.
Oru friends across the North Caro- J
lina line are having a little rumpus j
over the collectorship. It seems that
Elias and Simmons, the latter the
Chairman of the Democratic party in
the State, were appointed collectors.
Senator Vance objected to Elias on
some charges against his personal
character and he withdrew. Simmons
has been appointed, aad his appointment
is hanging up in the Senate for i
confirmation. Senator Vance, it is
said, that he objects to this confirmation,
and some Democrats in the State
are incensed because the Senator will
give no reason for his objection. Sim- }
mons is said to have been a very hard
Democratic worker in elections in 1892,
and it 13 said tnat notmng can oe
brought against his character. So it
seems that S?uth Carolina is not alone [
in complaining of its Senators,
Governor Tillman's interview on
the recent conferences in Washington,
published in the daily press, shows
that the Governor has at last become
a "trained politician," one of those
witty fellows mentioned in the iam?us
manifesto with the writing of which
he had something to do. Appreciating
that the dissensions developing among
the lieutenants would result in the
repudiation ot the bosses by the people,
he has practically shifted the fight
back to the reform rotert in the primaries,
where he knows he can manage
and direct the struggle. TillmaD
knows his power as a bamboezler of ;
his peeple and he has no idea of
allowing his? coat-tail swingers to
jeopardize his chances for th? Senate
by getting up a quarrel among themselves.
He also kn?w3 that It by & Co.
are mere incidents to bis movement
and the shrewd Governor has no
intention of letting then forget this.
Tillman is the Warwick of State poli
tics and he will hare more to do with
nameing his successor tkan even the
reform voters themselves. The tail
will not wag ihe dog.
SiNATtR lR*r and the "Refawm"
Congressmen are holding frequent
conferences in Washington with the
aid of Governor Tillman, who has
been there. The conference Tuesday
morning does not teem to have beon
very harmonious. Mr. McLaurin got
mad and withdiew. Governor Tillman,
it is said, is on the fence but
leans towards Irbj's side. McLaurin
champions the Bowden-Eilerbe-Sheil
ring as against the Irbj-Evun* ring.
The poin' we wish to make is that the
s'ate for Soulh Carolina's Governor
and other State cifljers is being fixed
in Washington without consulting ine
people, yet we were told that the prime
object of "the movement" was t?
smash the ri:.gs and restore self-governinf.*t.
Naming the Governor of
the State br a few politicians in Washington
is a mockery called self-government.
However, it ii not our ticket
that is being made by the ring; it is
the '-Refawm" ticket, and if the *lRefawmers"
are pleased to oe ruled from
"Washington in this way we shall not
complain. We merely want to direct
attention to the existeuce of the ring.
That's all.

The Corbett-Miteheri Fight.
The theory of evolution that man is
evolving higher and higher every day,
and that this process of reaching out
after higher and nobler things is a law
traversing not only the physical world
but is equally true of the social world,
finds something to cast a doubt on the
probable theory in the brutalizing
prize fight, which has just taken place
in Florida against the power and
strength of the law. It may be that
such "toughs" who. attended contest
between the beasts have not'
reached as high in the scale ?f development
as the rest of mankind, and in
fact constitute the long looked for link
between man and monkey. They cerA

animals and have nejust claim to be
classed any higher than a little beyond
the lower auimals.
We regret that Governor Mitchell
could not have stopped it. Athletic
sports are harmless, and add dignity
to the participants, but the CorbettMitchell
fight cannot be called an athletic
sport. All of its attendant circumstances,
so corrupting and brutalizing,
are revolting to the pure and
high sentimcn's of life. It is not only
against the letter and spirit #f the law,
but against decencv.
* *
*
Mrs. Corbett said that "Jim was in
fine trim and was sure to knock
Mitchell out." Her prophecy has
come true, and she must be very proud
of her bull-dog hnsband.
* *
Now that the Corbett-Mitchell fight
is over, we hope that we shall have
something else in the newspapers.
* *
*
If fighting with gloves bruises,
disfignres and covets the participants
with blood and the law prohibits
fights "by appointment" how
could the Florida Judge escape
the conclusion that the Corbett-Mitehell
fight was against the Florida Statute
on the subject? Governor Mitchell '
mar have been influenced to a great
extent in ihe course which he to?k by
a desire to create a little political capi
tal, knowing that lie held tbc popalar
side, still hu wa* right in his purpose
whatever may have been his motive,. '
and all right thinking people will deplore
that he did not succeed in :

Very Thoughtful Article on the Subject.
Iu view of the present low price of
;otton and recent high price of bacon, ,
it would probably not be amiss for ;
farmers to pay more attention to the ;
raising of hogs and a few saggesiion3 :

found out by experience that hogs feed

are raised at a loss, yet it is highly
probable ttiat if other articles of food,
such as turnips, sweet potatoes, peas,
beets, pinders and sugarcane are used,
then the bacoti might te produced at
tittle cost and sold at a much better
profit thau cotton at the present low

market eun be obtained for tlie foregoing
articles of food when raised in
large quantities, there is no trouble
whatever in selling bacon. It is not
iong since it would take almost a bale
of cotton to pay for the bacon which
would couie from one Jargo* hog, and
as it takes from two to thijf acres of
land and a great amotui^Kf labor to
produce the bale of cott^R Is it not
a pertinent inquiry: canwroor tnree
acres of land be used in sBa way as
to produce more baco*E?n can be

never do to discard the wpipS' of cotton
altogether, yet woulc^^iot be advisable
to devote at least a few acres of
good land to the raising of food crops?
TWO FOOD CROPS IN ONE YEAII ON THE
SAME LAND.
It takes an acre of good land. to
make ten bushels of corn, and this
makes vtry little beg food. The same
acre of land if planted in street potatoes
anil well worked would perhaps
make & hundred bnsheis of sweet
potatoes, the value of which as a hog
food rrould equal between thirty and
forty bushels of corn. But is this all
the "food you can make on the laud in a
year? By no means; for if the land is
well manured ihis potato crop can be
preceded by a turnip crop which will
yield a large quantity of hos: food if
the land is properly, manured. Use
(he turnips to feed young hogs in the
spring and the potatoes to fatten them
in the tall, and perhaps sugar cane or
some other green food could be profitably
used to teed the hogs between the
time the turnips are exhauited and
and bctore the potatoes are ready for
use; or if beets are planted they can
be used to feed in this interval, for
beets planted at she same time turnips
are plauted, remain sound long after
turuips have decayed. The crop *f
turnips and potatoes on the same "plcce
of laud in one year might be raised as
follows*
MANURE LAND HEAVILY IS T?1E DRILL
and plant the turnips early in the
spring. They will then be ready to
feed by April or May. IU^e your
sweet potato slips ieady to set out as
early as possible, but do not wait until
you hare gathered your turnips betore
setting them out. Do not gather the
turnips except as you feed them, f?r
it would be difficult to keep them iu
the spring after they are taken out of
J II
Cat grouuu, uul jjuh iucui up u,i luicivals,
and in these open spaces at the
proper distance set your potato slips
out, and by the time they have started
to grow well the turnips Trill have
been used off the land and will have
retarded their growth very little. Perhaps
a better piau would be to manure
the land broadcast and plant the turnips
in rise three or tour feet apart,
and as soon as the potato slips were
ready to set out with a side plow,
throw up a bed between thb turnip
rows and011 this bed set out tn? potato
slips, cultivate with a hoe until all the
turnips are used, and then plow the
potatoes. By this plan the potatoes
can be better cultivated at the early
tage of their growth than they could
be when planted on the same bed with
the turnips; but this method would
require broadcast manuring and perhaps
a little more manure. Brplaut
ing these irro crops on r.lie same acrc
of land perhaps five or six times as
much hog food can be produced ?n the
acre as it would make if planted in
corn alone, and if the acre of land was
well mauured these oops could be followed
with a small grain crop wiihout
the addition of further manure, which
would probably pay the expense which
would probably yield a profit sufficient
to par the expense of cultivating the
preceding crop of turnips and potatoes.

the field in dry weather with ante,
and at the proper distance dig heles;
intoeack hole put a potato vine without
detaching it from the old hill, and
then cover it and allow it to remain
attached te the old vine until roots
have been formed which will occur in
a few days if there is any moisture in
the ground. After the roots have
been formed and extended a short
distan:efrom the joint of the vines gu
through tbe field again with a hoe or
spade and cut the old vine loose. You
now have a new potato hill. Continue
this method of extending the potato
hills across the vacant space fix, eight
or ten feet whichever you left until the
whole space is covered. By allowing
the vine to remain attached to the
original potato hill until roots i.ave
been formed, you dispense with the
necessity of watering the new hill,
which would be necessary if you cut
vine at the time you put it in the hole,
and there will be Dui uttio danger 01
the new vine wiltiig unless you are
loo hasty in cutting it loose from the
old hill. Ol course this method is
recommended only when the potato
slips you have are insufficient to set
otu all the land you wish to plant.
HOW TO FEED THE HOGS AFTER TIIE
TURNIPS ARE EXHAUSTED AND BEFORE
THE POTATOES ARE READT TO FEED.
Plant a patch of beets, sugar cane,
early pinders, or a laic spring patch of
turnips, and on these teed until the
p >:atoes aie ready for use. even poi3to
vines, if the growth is sufficiently luxuriant
to permit of their being cut 1
without injury to the growth of the '
potatoes, might be used as a food to i

Turnip?, potatoes and beets would
perhaps be the best crops to raise '
where land is scarce and it is desirable ;
to get a large food yield from a small | 1
area, but where land is abundant, per-! 1
haps, one of the best crops to plant
would be peas broadcasted and the j 1
hogs pastured on them. There is a . <
large quantity of land in this country i!
so poor that it would not par to plant! J

have a movable fence, but if this expense
cannot be afforded, the hogs
could be miuded in the pea field during
dry weather fur a short time e. ch
day, but if the owner should have urgent
business elsewhere it is not likely
that a hungry hog tied in a pea field
or pinder patch would hurt himself
with the rope provided'it was .long
enough The hog can gather his own
food whether it is on top Or under the
ground and could be turned into a
potatoe or turnip patch as well us a
pea field or pinder patch, but it would
perhaps be poor economy to require
liim to do this except in * (he case of
those crops in which gathering is such
a tedious process.
POTATOES BETWEEN COKX.
A large quantity of Hog food coukl
be raised between the hills of corn on
au ordinary farm by simply planting
potatoes between the hills of corn in
the same manner that peas arc now
planted. The crop then made would
as a hog food, be worth perhaps more
than the corn made on the same land.
This crop would not interfere much
with the corn as the corn is generally
made if planted early before potatoes
do much, iiesiues me potatoes aw
much more independent of the season
than corn and in case it was evident at
aiiy season of the rear tha.t. the corn
crop would be a failure the corn could
be cut and the potatoes extended over
the whole land in the manner heretofore
indicated. A man. could then
better aSord to manure his corn rows
with two hundred pounds of guano in
the drill or if the corn should prove a
failure from the drouth the potatoe
crop would cover the expense of manuring
at least. Whipoorwill or speckeld
peas seldom fails to'maturc a crop
even when planted late and sown
broadcast in the corn field late in the
season would a (lord considerable
quantity of hog food but. this pea does
not keep so well as other varieties if
left in the field. This pea might be
planted earlv in the season and the
vines with the peas left on cut and
thrown to the hogs which would be
much less laborious than- picking the
peas.

It tnc lanu i? ric-ii turnips couiu uv
sown broadcast between the hills of
corn in corn fields in September and
Octooer and would be Valuable as hog
food. These could bC'sown even
after the corn was gathered, but if
sown soon after fodder .pulling time
would not interfere in the least .with
the corn. Pumpkins can also be
raised in a corn field without materially
lessening the yield-and^ould be
of some value as a hog food. Irish
potatoes would also make, excellent
food., but these could not well be profitably
raised, unless raised on rich
land and where a man raised and kept
the seed. The best food:crops-for'
poor or even ordinary land woukl be
sweet potatoes, peas "and pinders. '

cotton and corn on shares and would

crop and have hogs raised on shares.
, If the proper food is used iris-probable
that pork can be raised at a much
less cost per pound than cotton and
ret it is not long since it took almost
two pounds of cotton to par for a
pound of bacon, almost a- -bale of
cotton to pay for two hundred pounds
of bacon. If the right thing is planted
it would not be much trouble to raise
a two or three hundred-pound hog; 011

far as hogs are. concerned,.the only

THE SITUJlTIOX. .Messrs.
Editors: I said in mr last
that I had not despaired of* (fie' commenwealth,
nor lost, confidence' in' the
masses, and that if I found I ;iwas not
boring, ycu, you would give some
reasons for the faith that -wat in me.
If I have read history to any purpose
it has taught me that governments are
iscapable of self-improvement, for it is
ciiriong'io note the seeming1'impossibility
towards reformation encountered
by despots who have trilled with the
liberties and decent traditions of a
people; they seem predestined to go
on in their mad career?. But it is
quite consoli?g and equally true that
there is ever in the hearts of the masses
a property which sooner or'later revolts
at injustice and oppression and
ewdllincr nn frnm thf> jrreat hearts, of I
the people assumes sometiaaei the
proportions of a mighty angry tidal
wave and through fire aud sword
restores the rights ot manhood, aud
the blessings of liberty, at other times,
like tbe views of pure water percolating
the substrata of the earth, it permeates
and purifies the hearts of the citizen
and brings about mild but no less
efficacious remedy known as peaceful
revolution.

THE CROSS-FIR IXG COMMENCES.
Tart Kei#Iy to Major T..VT. Woodward.
Messrs. Editors: Tlicic a;-peared in
your columns reciHrlv three separate
articles ?ijjufd by Mr. T. W. Woodward
ali containing1 the mist vile autl
slanderous attacks upon tlje Democracy
of tlii-; State that the writer has ever
knowu to dirgrae'e the pub'ic print.
Nothing eminating from a Cull blooded
life-long radical source, North or
Snmh. that has ever come to the atten
tion of tlio tvii:er 'has any parallel for
this horrible onburst of slander,
riluperation, falsehoods, misstatements
aud deadly venom. It was but natural
for any intelligent mind, upon
reading1 such infamous articles, lo
reach the one conclusion, that ihey
were either the production of a madman,
lunatic or maniac, or possibly
the three combined.
Then to get at the bottom of this
unnatural abuse and slander, we set
about propounding inquiries who Mr.
Woodward was, and if he was a man
of any ability or intellect, and what
should be his political faith and standing,
and if lie had over aspired for
office, if over ebc:cd, if ever defeated,
and if elected something of his. official
OAlc Tlin ?.m I l> ?|-Pm tt? '?!! Wit il t
to answer at once, and the answers
are given as b.-s:. we ccx.d lake them.
One gentleman said Mr. Wood-vard
bad always prided himself upon i.:'ning
on to some one's coat-tail and
carefully obeying' the orders ot the
bosses of the old ring regime. Another
said he was crazy on account o!
his defeat to the S;atc Senate, which
was caused by him bolting the Democratic
tier"t n -'1 leading an independent
ticket iii lo'JO and voting tlie
Radical ticket lor Congress against, a
life-long Democrat at :he same election.
Another said Woodward is ui.ly
nvul and enraged hecau-<- the llefoi tilers
are net politically di-graced with
hiin. At this juncture a professional
gentleman bounced upon a stump,
apparently to nuke a speacli. lie
wished to >how what ex-Senator Wooii
ward had doue for tho grand oil Si.-ite
I ot South Carolina, lie was a member
[ of i lie Senate fjr eight years and dur|
in<r (lis! time he eat. (i^hi hui.iircd
bushels ot' pimlcrs a:.d thereby it:I
created ilic consume: ion t<> t!?at extent.
Lie further mule himself a laughing1
stock and was known us the ignoramus
of the Senate- An old farmer
then said Mr. Woodward was very old
and in his dotage, and it was sad he
tbd gotjen into such a tantrum and in
his rage had kicked poor old antiTillman
so dead she would never
gruttt for the next thousand years to
come.
Now, Messrs. Editors, this sc-cms to
b3 the kind cf man who is abusing
and vilifying and slandering the Democracy;
a man bceausc he ha* been
deposed t/n account of his disloyalty
to ihe Domo-rutio party, and his :>iliiia
lion with the radicals and independents
whom :lie g!oii-ms Hampton he
spe^k- of >a\s is :iic:i: 1 i" than-a radical.
Now, citizens of Frtirfiei'd, this man >
abu^e (*( De.nccracy clear! v m aus
another boll and appeal to the m-iirocs
and radical scalawags to reinstate himself
in office at the next general eh ction,
and it now beti ores y.tu and
every truo Democrat to watch this)
notorious independent demagogue,
enemy of Democrac} and scalawag of
scalawags.
