7 There was much talk ami speculation in politics last Monday, ami, we presume every conoeivablc shadoof opinion was ex of candidates who are believed to be in the Held, ami it f-xir to take it for granted that theanxious voter insonie instances was looking ariMuul for other candidates upon whom to hestoW his vote. It quite likely that there will be a reckoning on the new county question. The people of MeCormick, we learn from the McC'ormick Advitnce, are going to give thoir votes to the candidates who favor their proposed new vounty. If this is so, the people of Abbeville county ought to know who are expected to give them Of course any candidate for Legislative honors slaofiid promise to use his position to disrupt and disorganize this county the people should know he lact before the day of election. The of Abbevjlle-connty wmild not knowingly place in powet" any man r.tho would seek to destroy Abbeville's boundaries and aflliet her people with increased taxation.

If the JleConuick Advance represents the. sentiments of that community on this subject. then the people should demand to knew the position of those who seek to represent us in the Legislature. The temperance question will loom up in spite of all opposition. Many citizens of Ab beville county, we are lea to oeueve, win oe governed by the views which the candidates may hold on this important question.

It is frir to believe that many voters hold in? defiTiite views on the prohibition ques lion wiR vote for candidates with opinions 'equally decided and as thoroughly defined. For instance the anti-prohibitionists will Tfiostllkely vote for anti-prohibition candidates, prohibitionists may be set down equally certain to vote for prohibition candidates. Prominent, amonjj the questions which "Will demand the attention of the citizen is the schools. The tax payers of Abbeville county contribute annually some ten thousand dollars for the education of our children. It is therefore to the interest of every citizen that present abuses, if any exist, be corrected.

The citizens in every neighborhood will no donbt notice to see if any of the children's money has been wastelully expended, and to learn if the local boards of have hired teachers at $25 a month who have heretofore taught for S20 a mouth, find could now be hired at S15 a month. From the present oulook, we think we will have an interesting campaign. agree most thoroughly with all the opinions expressed by Dr. "NVaiiclell. The only difficulty which we see about securing and confining a mad dog is to find a person who is willing to take the risk, and try the experiment.

For our own part, we think if more dogs were shot purely on suspicion, ih? rnnntrv would be better off. With this exception. we agree with everything the learned Doctor has said. The article is an able one which should be read by every citizen. The mere reading of it may save some man's life.

The Doctor shows conclu sivcly that all docs that have spasms or fits are not mad, and that only a small Di-r cent, persons who are bitten by mad dogs, die of rabies. The mind of the patient has more to do with his death, than any real or tangible injury from the dog. We say again, the article. The Proposed Primary Election. Jt will be noticed that the resolution in the ueraocruuc eiuv in reim-ucc me primary election lor State officers and Congressmen has been reduced Congressmen.

The resolution came from the ranks and was voted for solidly, but we are inclined to think that there is real opposition to the idea of allowing the people to vote for State officers atnd Congressmen, and we predict that the resolution will miscarry. The resolution to deny the people even the right to vote for delegates to the nominating conventions, although voted down, may mean something, or it may mean nothing. The correspondence with other Counties between now and the next meeting will be interesting. Jfineiy-Six. Ninkty-Xix, May 3, lSSfi.

Fanner's Convent it Democratic Clubs, and Itailroad meetii may jail, butMoek shows are always of lni est. The list shows the ex hi hits, but it gi no idea of beauty and excellence of animals. Their exhibition attracted numb of Indies who occupied the New Hotel piaz and looked on with pleasure and Any one of these animals is worth more 1 the assessed value of the State than the 0 gefit cotton crop thai, may be raised in the ton Belt. The colts are all returned to Auditor for taxation, but the cotton crop no tax is realized from it.

If memory serves us right, there are no blai which call for the number of cotton bales hmid, hut the colts and calves are looked al with religious ilclellty.

That we respectfully urge the Legisla- esl tore to establish, as soon as possible, a real agricultural sum iiieuiiamcui rate and distinct from the South Carolina College, and modelled after those of Michigan to and Mississippi, which have stood the test of time and are acknowledged to be the best of js their kind in the 'Jnitcd States.

lce 2d. That the control and management of ied snid agricultural and mechanical college ns? should be given to the board of agriculture, lie which shall locate the same at the most eli- tp gible site they can secure, after advertising for bids from the soreral counties. K2 3d. That an experimental station should be Dj iid established at and in connection with said Sj'j re- agricultural and mechanical college, the same to be under charge its faculty. SI That we memorialize Congress and be? co 1 it to pass the bill introduced by Mr.

Hatch ad. and now pending, ich appropriates $15, in- 000 annually to each fctato tor tins purposp, ng and that we ask our St nators and men to usu all legitimate means to secure its h0 passage. tar That we protest against this money, if ur- it shall be appropriated, being received by his the present trustees of the South Carolina he College. Their actions in he past show them 1,11 to be disbelievers in industrial education. Moreover, if we are to have an agicultural IMl.

college at all, every dollar si ent on the agriine cultural annex at Columbia irf so much wasthls ed. And while we are willing to concede to these gentlemen honesty of purpose and pure do not acknowledge rhat lawyers and I nd uien aru t'ie proper ones to conUU trol an agricultural college, and experimental vos station, any more than we clt im that farmers 3 is ought to be chosen as in our Courts.We ills do not admit that the legal fraternity possess- es a monopoly of the brains and education in this State, and we want eacli shoemaker to len stick his own last. elr 0th. That in order that our agricultural isl- administration may be divorce 1 as far as possible from politicians, in order that the men best qualified to perform these important du- i i ties be selected by those most competent to judge, in order that we may secure a board of tlo agriculture at once efficient, zealous and rep' resentative, who know our needs and will 'y try to supply them, we urge that instead of I chosen by the Legislature tbey be I ed by a farmers' convention compo. ed of deli I gates from cach county agrieultui al society i ni-1 which shall meet annually in No'ember of in each year at Columbia for I his purpose.

This Convention ought to into cocsideration all matters of legislation affecting our commendations to the Legislature about the fay same as they may deem proper. T.iis board see of agriculture consistof ten, live elected annually. They should have the.power to elect their own executive officer or secretary, whose duties would correspond with those of the present commissioner, and their duties of' would be the same as the law imposes our 1 I present board, while, in addition they would have control of the agricultural college and experimental station, and should, by of itl'i build1 up and keep ri Lllti alive the several county societies and farm- i ers' clubs. inn 8th. That in order to-obtain Che necessary ob- funds to sustain the agricultural college, ter the State shall linye given enough to buy the farm and erect ihe necessary buildings, we 2 recommend that the privilege tax on sale of fertilizers be doubled.

The board would then get an income of over $50,000 per year, and this, with the $5,700 from the land scrip fund, would, wcthink, bo enough to support the college, inspect the fertilizers, and hold fanners' institutes, without additional taxation, lis except a small indirect tax on guanoes, which farmers will willingly pay to be guranteed jj against fraud. 9th. That the inspection of fertilizers is ts- now defective and unsatisfactory, and no adeilef I quiite punishment for frauds provided. We, his, therefore, urge such additional legislation as rigs will secure the needed protection without ler- imposing unncccessafv restraint upon the manufacture and sale of fertilizers. Cotton eis seed rnea'? whether sold as stock food or as a fertilizers, should be inspected and adulterant.

tion punished. Stock owners will not mind to the additional charge to be sure of a and pure article. 10th. That, the Citadel Academy, as a mili' tarv school, be abolished, and that so much of the money now appropriated its use )Us may be needed shall be given to1 the South on Carolina College at. Columbia, so as to make "ter it a first-class institution for the training of JW" young men for professions and literature.

A small tuition fee should be charged those entering there, but the trustees should be alon lowed to admit those unable to pay free of charge. 1 ire- 11 th That the State owes it to her daughter tio provide an instition for their liberal and an" practical education; a school where can be taught nor only to adorn a drawing-room, but be fitted to perform the duttesef life and become bread-winners if need be. A com- l' I monwealth which does not train its' future mother can never hope to achieve any high I place in the ciyilizstion of to-day, and both justice and wisdom demand thaa our girls irc. should have an equal chance with our boys. We recommend that such a school be openci at ire- the Citadel in place of the military instition now in operation there, and that it de liberally supported by the State.

We appeal to the women of South Carol sna who feel 'he deficiencies of their own training, and have seen the utter helplessness of their sisters when 1 to tlie'i' own reso' roes, to aid in establishingan industriol ge for females in our State like that ot Cc Jinbue. Miss. If they cannot secure that ohibition which would banish alcohol, the; can help banish that prohibition ignorance which now bars theiv sex hi this State from all occupations except re- sewing, teaching a working in cuttoii factories. 12th That, a commit tee of seven, One from each ongres iional dintrict, be aplieI .1.,. rli-nifc Hi memorial mentioned in these resolutions, and foisvard the samc at onoe to our representatives at Washing on: and that the said com in it tec shall prepare bills, and have the same nd introduced in the next General Assembly, carrying out the syirit and purpose of these A resolutions.

Furthermore that said mittee shall go to Columbia when the lature meets and make such presentation of facts and arguments as will hely secure their XJ passage. Eg rc.
