The President and Foraker.
The Enquirer Sun has never
hart much respect for Gov. Fora
ker, of Ohio. If we had auy at
all we lost it when be acted so dis
gracefully about the confederate
flag incident, and afterward otter
ed a most outrageous insult to
the president in a public speech.
Much has been said and written
about the “snub” which Mrs.
Cleveland gave him in Philadel
phia, and the republican papers
have of course been rampant iu
their abuse of Iac president and
bis wife. The New York World
thus succinctly stales the case:
“The republican organs in
Ohio are attempting to make a
great issue out ot the alleged
snubbing administered to Guv.
Foraker by Mrs. Cleveland.
“Without regard to the truth or
falsity of tins allegation, it must
be admitted by gentlemen of what
ever party thut Gov. Foraker dis
played most extraordinary ussu
ranee in voluntarily attending the
social reception (if a piesideut to
whom he had publicly offered on
the stump the grossest insult ever
cast upon any chief magistrate by
a public man in this country.
“Let any republican of ordina
ry self-respect and honor ask him
self if lie would deliberately seek
to shake bunds with a man oi
whom lie has spoken in the terms
employed by Gov. Foraker toward
President Cleveland, and further
more. how he would expect his
wife to receive a man who hail
thus foully insulted her hushnud.”
The World is right, and any
impartial and sensible man must
Lake the same view of the case.—
Foraker should have had more
sense of propriety than to have
placed himself and w ife in a posi
lion where the president's wife
was obliged to snub them.”—Co

by Miss Lilly Wnrm and Prof. G. E.

the power of any one to so completely
enrapture an audience zs did Miss
Wurmupon this‘occasion. Her skill
on the piano was listened to with in
tensified delight, and occasioned un
stinted applause, after the rendition of
each piece. Prof. Chase added much to
the enjoyment of the audience by lend
ing his aid on the flute and piano, which,
as usual, was well executed and greatly
appreciated. But there is nothing
which can so -completely capture a
Cuthlvert audience as a highly cultiva
ted voice. In this Miss Fay excel is,
perhaps any one who ever appeared
before an assembly in thij city. Musi
cal. cultured and surpassingly sweet,
her solos carried the audience to the
highest pitch of enthusiasm, meriting
the heavy encores at the close. Espe
cially fine was the rendition of Arditi's
waltz song "Ecstacv ” The college ia
very fortunate in securing the services
of Miss Fay for the coming year as vo
cal teacher, and with the combined tal
ents and musical accomplishments of
Miss'Wunn and Prof. Chase, we shall
expect unusual development in the mu

Last Saturday evening at 2 o’clock.
President Barry called the Agricultur-
la Society to order and stated that Cap
tain Edwards would open the .discus
sion, which was the “Cultivation of
Small Grain.” The speaker’s remarks
were listened to with undivided atten
tion, anti were convincing in their argu
ment in favor of the cultivation of small
grain, especially oats in preference to
corn. It was his opinion thut if oats
were sown in October, between the fifth
and twentieth, a good stand could al-.
most invariably be secured and a fine
crop raised. One and one half bushels
of oats would feed as far and ns well as
one bushel of corn, a^d where ten or
twelve bushels of corn could be raised
per acre, twenty to twenty-five bushels
of oats would grow at one fourth the
cost.; He always sold his oats at a good
price, more than the average price of
com per bushel, could sell every
bushel he could raise, and cultivated an
oat he had grown successfully for eleven
years. Rye and harlev he had grown
with success, but had never made but j
one crop of wheat. It would have been
well if every farmer in the county could
have heard the remarks of Captain Ed
wards. They were encouraging in their
nature, and calculated to enthuse those
present with the idea of sowing largely
of small grain, and impressed them
with the iimportance of beginning early
and preparing and fertilizing the ground
well. Among the best tilings the socie
ty ever listened to was the short talk of
of President Barry. lie told them how
they could make their homes to blossom
as a garden perennially, how Providence
had blessed them with the grandest and
most glorious part of the globe for a
home, where they can have fruits and
vegetables and luxuries of all kinds the
rear round of their own raising at little
or no expense, and with a little time |
and perseverance: In proof of this he j
showed them luscious peaches and < m f/[ a Clarion
tempting English walnuts gathered from
his garden that morning and stated that
not only these, but grapes and apples
and cabbage and many other garden
and orchard fruits ami vegetables could
be had for only a little care. These
things were overlooked i?» the craze for
cotton, and he urged the members to
give up this cotton mania and look
about them and sec what a happy life
they were throwing away by bowing so
continually before the fleecy king.
There is no doubt but that much good
will result from such timely and elo
quent remarks. The society is still ear
nestly laboring for the colt show. Cap
tain Edwards, who is chairman of the
committee, will use every means to
make the show a success. The premi
ums will be announced through these
columns in a few days. The first Satur
day in November is the day. This will
be the most important day the farmers
of Randolph county have seen since the
war. and it is in tlicir power to make it
a succecsor not. They can give an im
petus to stock raising on that day by
patronizing and encouraging the ex
hibit, that will instill an enthusiastic de
sire, atnqgig themselves, to raise their
own horses and mules, thereby keeping
thousands of dollars annually at home.
Lct'e see if they will do it. We believe
they will.

Baptist Association convened with Red
Bone church on last Friday. Saturday
j and Sunday. The weather throughout
was as nice as could be asked for, and
the people flocked in from every point
of the compass. On Friday morning, at
the appointed hour, services were began
by Rev. J. M. Bray, of Sumter, who
was appointed to make the introductory
sermon, using for his text. Rom.. 12th
chapter and Oth verse. After a recess
for dinner, the body was called to order
by tlio moderator. Rev. C. C. Martin,
when the letters from the churches
were read atter which a moderator was
elected, which resulted in the re elec
tion of Kev. C.C. Martin to preside over
the present session.
On Saturday, business engagements
prevented our attending. Sunday we
again put in an appearance. The crowd
on Sunday was almost equal to the
crowd at the Blufl'ton 1’ienic. A large
brush arbor had been erected near the
church. The seats from the church
1 were moved out there, and services
| were conducted there during the day.
