THURSDAY, MARCH 17, 1892.
THOS. J. ADAMS,.EDITOR
GOT. Tillman, we understand, is in
favor of a primary for all offices from
Governor down, and- up.
Not one-third of the counties are pay
ing any attention to the call of the
Thirteen for a March Coa vent ion.
Cob Ellison Keitt, of Newbery, says
the financial system of the world is
radically wrong and has been so since
the time of Abraham.
There are about forty Tom Cats on
South Carolina's front piazza. The
March Convention will turn on its
hose to settle the dust and the fur
Pickens Sentinel.
Josephus Woodruff, who was clerk,
of the South Carolina Senate under the
Republican administration, died in
Philadelphia on th? 21st of February
and was buried in Charleston.
The new editor of the Columbia
Register, Larry Ganto is much of a
humorist, and his editorial in Satur
day's issue tendering. a~ complete sur
render to the News and Courier to
avoid an' everlasting* Var of words
on a dry-ae-dnst subject is 1 equal to
Mark Twain in his happiest efforts.
.The South Carolina Industrial and
Winthrop Normal. College has been
awarded to Anderson, that town hav
ing offered $75,000 and an eligible site.
Thanks to the*; efforts of: Governor
Tillman the girls of the State will
soon enjoy the advantages of a college
where they can receive training as
teachers and become skilled in every
industrial art.
Mr. Larry. Gantt, who has recently
been connected with the Southern
Alliance Farmer,. the Alliance organ
of Georgia, and who has taken a promi
nent part in Georgia politics, has
taken charge of the editorial manage
ment of the Columbia Register. Mr
Gantt is. a thorough Democrat and bas
no sympathy with the Third Party
movement. Mr. Gantt is a South
Carolinian by birth.
SPLEEN AND VENOM.
In the language of our popular fel
low citizen, Col. D. A. G. Ouzts, Gen
Hampton has again "blowed off his
mouth."
There was a time in the history of
this State when if Hampton '-blowed off
bis mouth'- it had its effect, but now
we can say of bim is that he has
.;.>.?.- "*?ff his mouth," and the blowing
I'JL ; . "arable, weak exhibition of

' - < he ;. jlicy to be pursued in the ap-1
"prdufc:-*>ig canvass, but' of the State
"itself."
To our miud, the foregoing extract
simply means that the Thirteen when
they me?t on the ??ftb March "should,
according to Hampton's advice, order
a primary, and that negroes be allowed
to vote in that primary, and if the op
position to Tillman, counting negroes
and all, makes a majority against him
in the State, then Hampton's counsel
is that "they, as the true Democratic
party, should assume control not only
of the policy to be pursued in the ap
proaching canvass, .but of the State
itself;" and thus he who said "an inde
pendent is worse than a Radical," him
self becomes an independent.
HIS VOICE FOB PEACE.
We publish on oar first page a 1I
speech by Hon. W. C. Benet, of Abbe
ville, at a farmer's meeting in that
county on the 5th of March. This
speech ought to be read by every
Democrat in South Carolina. Mr
Benet, as is well known, was opposed
to Tillman in {?he last campaign be
cause he thought then that the move
ment was the result of Tillman and
not Tillman the result of the move
" ment. He says now that "the cam
paign of 1890 marked a revolution in
"the history of a party.
, "It was a permanent change and not
'a fleeting chance.
"It was the success of a Movement, j j
"and not of a Man.
"It was the uprising of the people ;
"and not the elevation of Capt. Till
man."
Speaking of. the thirteen-in calling
their March Convention he says
"the thirteen have made a great mis
"take, they have blundered, and
"blunder is as fatal in politics as in
"love or war.
"They have blundered in not learn
"ing the lessons of history as found in
"the books and on the living pages of
"recent and passing events.
"The campaign proposed by the I '
"thirteen can only result in the crea '
"tion of two factions, separated by J
"gulf of hate and bitterness that will
"not be bridged over in a generation.
"Let us deprecate any such action, and
'fight together as good Democrats
"against a common enemy.
"My voice is for peace and harmony
"and for the people of South Carolina;
"and my tight is for our party and
"against faction.'.'
- These brief extracts will give our
readers some idea of the general tenor
of the speech, but we hope none of
them will forbear to read it all.
UNFORTUNATE.
Gen. J. D. Kennedy, of Camden,
thinks the March Convention called by
the Thirteen a mistake. Gen. Kennedy
says in a letter to the News and Cou
rier : "I hold that there isnoauthority
"that can call a convention of the
"Democratic party except the State
"committee, nor is there any provision
"for any wing or faction of the party
"to call one.
# . * * *
"Would it not have been more pru
"dent before deciding on a line of ac
tion, to have a conference of one qr
"more representative men from each
"county, instead of thirteen gentlemen,
"however able, patriotic, and deserv
ing, undertaking to decide what;
"should be done?
* * * * #
/ "Was not this call for a convention
"unfortunate?
The General is opposed "to a pri
mary -for State officers; he says:
"As to the approaching convention.or
dering a direct primary, if a demand
"for it be refused, I fail to see any
f where any authority for it. However
"desirable it might be, will not such a
"course make confusion worse cor
"founded, . produce greater dishar
mony and eventuate in all probability
"in permanent and irremediable divi
sion??
PEASE AND HOMINY.
The thirteen, who say they are for
peace and harmony, have made a mis
take; it's simply pease and hominy
they're ?f ter.
"STRADDLEISM."
. --
The Greenville News is in favor of
the Farmers' Movement teeth an toe
nail, but is opposed to Tillman teeth j
and toe nail. This is what the Colum
bia Record calls "Straddleism."
A PHENOMENAL BLUNDER.
The Hon. Walter Hazzard, of George
town, thinks the Thirteen March Con
vention a mistake. Gen. Kennedy, of
Camden, thinks so too; so dees the
Hon. S. P. Hamilton, of Chester. Hon.
W. C. Benet, of Abbeville, says it is a
blunder. Senator Butler thinks so,
and so do most of our members of
Congress in thc lower House. The
News and Courier is of the same Way of
thinking; and so on and so fortn.
This newspaper is auti-Tilluian, but
it claims discernment enough to see a
plain fact before us and until some
one can make it clear to us that more
than a divided one-fifth of the Demo
cratic party is in favor of an opposi
tion candidate, we think good policy
and a love for the welfare of the State,
would dictate non-action on the part
of the anti-Tiliman men in 1S92.
The opponents of Tillman, at most,
can only further excite the people, ata
time when harmony and gj?tpd feeling
should prevail.
The office of Governor is a nonentity.
He can do very little good, and his
power for harm is exceedingly limited
Then is there any use to quarrel about
so trifling a matter?-Press and Ban
ner.
HYPOTHETICAL.
The following hypothetical conver
sation between a citizen and a stranger
visiting our town with a view of lo
fting, might be a real one and no de
pr.) *LTe from the truth :
] Stranger^:-"How much property
does your lown own?"
Cir Izen: --'-A wheel-barrow, three
?hovels, and two picks. We did have a
mule but SHLC. kicked and we sold her."
Stfoii?rer?-"Isn't. that ji ridiculous,
showing of "possessions for a town the
siztrvof Edgefield?'
: Citizen :-"It looks that way to a
trian up a tree,' and^things have got to
L?i-& a turn, stranger, for I won't live
In af town that don't own anything."
Stranger :-"You haye no water
works?"
Citizen :-"No water-works but the
water that is worked down the throats
of those who frequent our barrooms."
Stranger :-"No fire engine or hook
md ladder company?"
Citizen :-"None of these things
bave we."
Stranger :-"Rut you have a night
watchman?"
Citizen ;-"No Sir-no night-watch
man."
Stranger :-"Well my friend, if with
ill this property, hundreds of thou
sands of dollars worth belonging to.
your citizens, your town has not even
i night-watchman, yours is a sleepy
boliow indeed ; and yet it is a most
beautiful location, healthy and salu
brious, and ane of the most eligible
sites for a manufacturing or educa
tional centre I know, but my friend
rou are too awfully slow. I will spend
:he night in your burg, but in the
norning I must shake off the dust
from my feet."
The PeopleJAre The Masters.
At piesent we believe there is
considerable disaffection from the
Tillman ranks, but we do not be
lieve that Tillman can be beaten.
We do not believe the opposi
tion, no matter what its numeri
cal strength, can beat Tillman for
the simple reason that they divided
imongst themselves. There are at
[east two factions in the ranks of
the opposition-the Haskellites
md the au ti-H a sk ell i tes.
The great mass of the Demo
uratic party- will be slow to give
their Votes to any bolter.
Tillman is a bitter pill to many
[>f onr people, but it is the pa
triotic duty of every good citizen
to maintain the integrity of the
party in South Carolina.
We believe in a rule by the peo
ple, and if a majority of the
Democratic party name a candi
date, then it is our duty to sup
port him, We have nothing to
jain by going back on our
neighbors and friends. We have
averything to lose by quitting tin
company of our kindred and the
naen of our own race. We have a
right to beat Tillman, if we can,
but we are in honor bound to
atick to the nomination after it is
made.
..At present the opposition to
Tillman can not harmonise. The
newspapers can not get on the
same platform, and the individual
members of the opposition are un
alterably divided. It may not .be
that the bolters are trying to take
charge of the Democratic party,
but it looks a little that way to us.
The other wing of the Democratic
party which opposed Tillman is,
we presume, as much opposed to
giving the management of the
party to the bolters, as they are to
Skiving the Governorship to B. R.
Kilman.
Harmony then is out of the
question. "Without harmony, we
can do nothing against Tillman's
organized forces.-Abbovillo Press
and Banner.
Flour Mills.
A dispatch published in The
Sunday News last Sunday, states
that Mr. J. H. Johnson, of Blakely,
Minnesota, who is described as
being au ardent advocate of
Farmers' Alliance doctrines, has
published a letter to the farmers
urging them to organize Farmers'
AlliancemillingassociationSjWhich
has excited a great deal of interest
and comment in his neghborhood.
Mr. Johnson, who is himself
the owner of a fifty barrel flour
mill, maintains, as reported, that
the farmers of the Dakotas and
Minnesota alone, "have lost
$28,0CO,000 on wheat sold up to
December 8, 1891, of this year's
crops,"'and proceeds to show the
farmers "their folly in not building
their own mills and thereby
securing $1 a bushel for their wheat
with a ton of feed per hundred
bushels, together with some minor
advantages. Any community that
can produce 75,000 bushels of
wheat," he says, "can thereby keep
a fifty-barrel mill running for a
year, and such a mill can be
built for $7,000."
This is the testimony of a
practical miller, whose experience
has been acquired in the heart
of the chief wheat raising and
Ljur making district of the
country, and there appears to be
matter in it which is worthy of
the consideration of some of the
farmers in South Carolina. The
main points are as follows :
"Any community, district or
county," says Mr. Johnson, that
can produce 75,000 bushels of
wheat can keep fifty barrel mill
running. "South Carolina produced
992,000 : bushels of wheat last
year, as that number 16 reported
by the United States agricultural
department-and probably pro
dueedover amillioii bushels, if all
were reported.
On this basis thc State, or the
upper counties, whore most of the
wheat is raised, would support a
dozen fifty-barrel flour mills,
which would be a notable addition
to the industrial equipment of
those counties and of the State. .
, No particular attention was paid
to wheat raising in this State last
year, we believe. It is probable,
then, that tire 1,000,000 bushel crop
ef last year could easily bo doubled
and if so then the wheat growing
section could easily support twenty
I or more fifty-barrel mills. There
[is not a county in the sectioL prob
ably tba*" could not readily grow
150,000 or 209,000 bushels, at
least, and this would give pros
perous mills to each county.
The cost of constructing a mill
of the indicated capacity, as stated
I by an expert, is $7,000. This is
much less than the cost of a cotton
factory nor is there a commnnity in
the up country that cannot afford
to build such a mill, and that
would not be glad to build one,
with or without pecuniary aid
from the farmers. The presence
of a mill in any county would be
un in du oom ont and a- help-to- the
wheat farmers to raise more wheat ;
more farmers would go into the
business ; and a diversification of
crops would be effected in that
region. The "minor advantages"
to the farmers of having for use or
sale all the by-products of their
wheat-bran, Beconds and shorts
we take it are too fully understood
to require more than mere mention
The mills need not be confined
to flour making. It was stated a
few days ago by a business man of
Charleston that 60,000 barrels of
"grits," are imported into the State
from the West every year-our
people paying thousands of dollars
annually for this one article which
could as well be produced'at home,
and getting a product that is
cnferior in every quality except
whiteness to the home-made
article. As much may be said of
cornmeal,,which is imported at a
cost of many thousands more
the aggregate for corn and corn
products alone running up into
the millions annually. The local
flour mills could supplement their
wheat products with corn products
equally to their own advantage and
that of the farmers, who would
thus have a new and valuable
outlet for their corn crops.
Any community that can pro
duce 75,000 bushels of wheat, says
Mr. Johnson, can keep a fifty barrel
flour mill running for a year and
the mill can be built for $7,000.
Any agricultural or other commu
nity in South Carolina, therefore,
that thinks such a mill and its
attendant advantage worth the
having would do well to look into
the subject, consult Mr. Johnson,
and take steps to have a mill built
'by the time the next wheat crop
matures.-News and Courier.
Try This on Your Roses.
Everybody in Augusta who
grows roses had trouble with the
bugs and worms infesting both the
plants and tho flowers last year.
On account of these peBts very few
perfect rosee were seen here either
in thc spring or fall, and the
insects seemed to be woree on tho
lovely Mar?chal Neils, of which
there are so many more in Augusta
gardens ' than of any other
variety;
In the Philadelphia Record we
see that Mr. William Spooner, the
president of the Massachusetts
horticultural society tnd veteran
rose grower of Jamaica plaius,
recommends white hellebore for
keeping off the peels that infest
the rosee. The hellebore can be had
at any of the drug stores. Mr.
Spooner commences as soon as the
plants como into leaf, and by a
persistent URO of it keeps tho
foliage in fine shape, as all can
testify who have seen his roses on
oxhibiton.
Let our rose growers cut this out
for future reference, and try the
white hellbore on their rosee I h's
spring.-Augusta Newe.
Woman's Dainty Underwear.
Just what sort of underwear to assnro
is one question that troubles tho average
woman very much. She doesn't wan
to wear so much that it will bo bulky
and she doesn't want to wear too little
for fear she will catch cold. She trie)
first one and then another shaped gar
ment, and the wise woman is she who
having at last hit upon that which ii
most comfortable, makes it most daint]
and assumes it for good. " Very little
linen is used nowadays for one's lingerie
the preference being given to cambric
Victoria lawn, nainsook or percale. Thc
hist is noted with tiny dots or wee flow
era in pink, blue or lavender upon tht
white ground. Then when the garment
is finished the edges have a triple seal
lop or a sharp point embroidered in cot
ton of the same color as the figure. Thii
material, with its simple finishVis likes
for sack shaped chemises, for night
dresses and for drawers. It is seldom,
if ever, used for skirts.
The fancy for silk nightdresses stiL
exists, but as there always have beet
women who would wear nothing but tht
clear white lawn or nainsook, and ai
these women are many, the makers oi
underwear are specially catering tc
them. Very muon more fine work, thal
is, handwork, can be put upon a nain
eook gown than upon a silk one, and tht
needlewoman can make more fine tucks,
fancy stitches, gatherings, hemstitch
ing and drawing of threads than evei
would seem possible.-Mrs. Malton in
Ladies' Home Journal ?1

The Bay eux Tapestry.
Tapestry was brought into general us
in western Europe, with many other
elegancies of life, by the Moors of Spain.
The oldest known specimen is the Baye tu
tapestry, an epic hi embroidery, careful
ly treasured for centuries in the cathe
dral of Bayeux, and now preserved in
the hotel do Wile of that place. Mist
Strickland says of this piece of work:
"It is beyond all competition the-]
most wonderful achievement in the gen
tle craft of neodlework that ever wa*
executed by fair and royal hands." ,
It was done by Matilda of Flanders
wife of William the Conqueror, and the ]
ladies of her court It is a coarse linen |
cloth, 214 feet long and 20 inches wide,
on which is worked in woolen thread of

men. 200 horses, fifty-five dogs, forty
ships a LIJ bunts, besides a quantity ot
quadrupeds, birds, trees, houses, castles
and churches, all executed in the propel
color?, with names and inscriptions over
them to elucidate the story, lt is a
valuable historic document, as it gives a
correct and minute portraiture of the

No bojk ha? ever had such a sale in the United States as General
Grant's Memoirs. Over 650,000 copies have already gone into the
domes of the rich, but the subscription price of $7.00 has placed it
beyond the reach of people in moderate circumstances. If 650,000
people have been willing to pay $7.00 for Grant's Memoirs, there must
be a couple of million people in the United States who want ?them
ind will jump at the opportunity to buy at the low figure here offered
We will send you General Grant's Memoirs, publishers' origina
edition, best paper, cloth, green and gold binding, hitherto sold by
subscription at $7.00.
For 50 cents and absolutely a proposition such as has never teen
node in the history of book publishing. The two splendid volumes

pour subscription to the ADVERTISER for one year, and also a subscrip
i;ion of $3.00 for th? Cosmopolitan Magazine, the brightest and cheap
jst of the great illustrated monthlies, itself equal to the best $4.00
magazine.
If, however, you have Gront's books, the Cosmopolitan's offer
tvill permit you to take instead,
Gen. Sherman1* Memoirs, two volumes, sold by subscription for
?5.00
Gen. Sheriden'i Memoirs, two volumes sold by subscription for

Cheap Editions and reprints have been frequently offered by
periodicals as premiums to subscribers, but never before has an origi
nal subscription edition on best paper, and in cloth binding (sold at
retail at $7.00), been reduced to fifty cents-probably less than the
jost of the binding alone-and presented to the readers of a magazine
upon receipt of fifty cents.
Such an offer will never be made again. No publisher could af
ford to make it unless he wished to present a magazine which he felt
jure had only to be introduced to retain its permanent place on the
family book table-a magasine just as interesting to the young boy or
?irl as to the oldest grey head.
THE COSMOPOLITAN gives in a year, 1536 pages of reading by
bhe ablest authors in th" v. orld, with over 1300 illustrations by clever
artists, a magazine whose field is the world, and as the best test of
merit is success, its growth from 16,000 to 100,000 copies within the
past three years, best attests its worth.
If you are not acquainted with the magazine, send a postal card
