HiWli OUUUiClU s *.4:?V4 ^ Southern people have been wont to speak of the poverty of their own section, and some * of her best citizens 0; have been led to emigrate to what. w thcr believed to be more favorable a section?, especially the West and w Northwest. Reports of fabulous crops Ci and easy living allured them from the s$ most fertile section of this country? r;] the South. There is not u shadow of ^ a doubt that the soil of the Northwest fr is most fertile, neither is there a doubt jj that that of the South is equally so. f;, hf?! n?r therefore r., ?'f ? = 1XJ almost the same, which is the uiore u; prosperous section? One who has tj given 110 thought to the matter would answer, the West very readily. But s? if the matter is probed to the botton (s it will be seen that the "happy and tj prosperous West" is not so happy and C( prosperous by any means as the poor, a, wornout South. It is reported on reliable authority no less thau that of ?3 the National Bureau of Agriculture j, that 011 farms in the States of Ohio, ! n; ?_ Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Michi- j ai \fo T/-vtt7n ? j JLV/ TT *1 WiUOUl*^ Kansas and Missouri there are mort- rc gages held to the enormous amount fa of $3,422,0.00,000! Twice the amount fi, --of the national debt. In the State of e, Michigan one-half of the farms are t: 3 11 under mortgage, and-in the others a. mentioned every fourth or third farm g, is mortgaged. This, then, is the con- se dition of the great Northwest. The South is immeasurably better w off. Xo such enormous amounts are t0 held on our lands. We may be poor, but c, we are rich in comparison. These facts n, have only to be brought to the*atten- r>: tion of the world and a tide of immi- cc gration will flow Southward and soon ei cover the waste places and make them cr blossom as a rose. gj Emigrants coming to this country 0( are met at Castle Garden by oilytongued agents, who tell of the prosperous West? how everybody is happy u ?and they naturally choose it. The ^ difference between the two sections . in this matter is in advertisement. ? "We can compare with the "West in m every particular in soil, climate and fa productions. Our winters are milder, a blizzard being unknown. Our suitf$f. mers are nol as hot, and on the whole gj, we possess superior advantages in ^ every way. Let us, then, make the er effort to turn the tide Southward, and ?0 a well-directed effort will do it. q xne xana mil. The long-looked-for tariff bill which ! the committee of wavs and means has j I been considering was made public last: week. On the whole the bill i "II meet! with general favor, thongh it may not j please extremists on either side. tb The general plan of the conslruc- -ci< tion of the bill seems to have had in Di view the idea that articles used bv the m I ' poor should be less heavily taxed than those used by the rich. This idea is bn of course to be commended. Among fo: the articles upon which reduction has ! w< been made are sugar, carpets, woolen j tvt and cotton goods, earthenware, glass, ! nc ready-made clothing, writing paper, i se< envelopes, toys, matches, umbrella?, | be rice, nails, wire, chain?, chinaware, ! C-1 medicinal preparations, proprietary j medicines and others. j The tree list is composed largely of i ra: raw material used for manufacturing purposes, but inclndes articles of immediate consumption, such as salt, an vegetables, timber, fruits and meats, lot Iron ore and coal, two items which sn have been strenuously fought for, and an - - - - "... an wfcich are oi tne greatesi importance j Ki; to the people of the coantry, were not j aci placed on the free list. j The redactions contemplated by the ! bill will make a considerable reduc- i j tion in the revenue, and at the same ftri time rid the country in a degree of\ y? some burdensome taxation. The in- j ternal revenue was not touched by the j m's committee, but this matter may be j loc ||||.;. ^ |||. |pp|p - * asidered hereafter. It is thought it the tobacco tax might be repealed make &. peace-offering to protecnist Democrats. These latter, under i leadership of Randall, may be-inned to oppose the bill unless some oh concessions are made to them. We had hoped that the committee )uld have done more, but in view the conflicting elements in the rtv which beset them their work is be commended. There will no ubt he changes in detail before the te is taken, bnt the bill as a whole ill stand as it is, and its advocates e sanguine of succcss. The bill arks the real beginning of the fight the coming election. This being a esidential year some weak-kneed emocrats may be afraid to meet the ;ce i-quarely, but the party as a hole should -e::ert its full strength to rry it through tiie House of Reprenfatives. Then, if it is defeated in e Senate the Republican party wiil 1 * Af' ?? ?? tve 10 IUU UviiLUii vi iio uwjv/441, :fore the country. The ta:ill* will bs e issue in the campaign, ami if the emocratic party is not I he party cf auction :itul does not show its faith r works, what inducements will it >ld {o the masses for their suffrages? To tlie Farmers. Mr. I). K. Morris, president of the ai mers' Association of South Carona, has' issued an address to the rmers, in which he makes a review : ihe situation and urges them to :ep up the Sghf, especially for the "* ' -IT- rnu. .. fricnunrat couege. jluc ?niw? ? o long to be published in full, but r the benefit of the farmers of the >a;ity we give a brief synopsis of its lient feature?. lie tolls the farmers iat by their leaving" th homes at a >nsiderable expense to attend three ate conventions showed something ore than the capriciousness of pur)se. The first of these conventions couriered many things, but the second irrowed its deliberations materially, pecially recommencing a separate rricullnral college, establishment oJ i experimental station in connccti >n terewith; that the board#of agriculi-e should be divorced from politics id its members chosen by the Farms' Association; that the board nieinjr.-hip should be increased from five ' ten. The last convention merely firmed the above recommendations. Mr. Norris then says that instead oJ ie strong experimental station three eak ones were established, and that large per cent, "of their income ill be annually expended in 'dnpliLteJ ofiiccr?," lie believes that inca-1 of increasing the annex a sepa U>.' agricui.urai course uit^ui. \u huvi en established separate and apart <<m ti.e influences of the South Carotia College so that the allurements oJ rni life should be instilled into the linds of the student^, which eventillv would induce them to follow ;c profession of their fathers. He believed the establishment of a parate college would not increase Lxation, for Congress has given tc :e farmers of South Carol is a, in )intno;i with other States, $15,000. id has secured to u? $11,500 more, Dth payable annually. Besides this irmers pay about ?25,000?a yfcar's ispection fees on fertilizers?to furish a fund to pe used in their interest id for their protection. He then literates the old charge that many tillions have been extorted from the .rmers sines Radical days, and that ppropriations are freely given tc rery variety of purpose, "from icc ckets to canal digging, from soap id towels and matches to gilding the tate House, and from extra clerical rvices to $136,000 in .salaries." Mr. >~'>rris further says: "And yet e are told that the State is too poor give the meagre sum of $50,000 to >mmence to build up this institution pen whioh the farmers were begining to look as their Mecca." lie then ills upon the farmers to stick togeth , finoncially and politically, to se ire 10 memseives max measure 01 me iates fostering carc which their im>rtance deserve. In concluding, he tells the Associa;>n that leaders will arise who will ; peers of any who may oppose iem. He does not impugn the mores of the .law-makers, but denies at they have superior wisdom about atters which so nearly affect the rulers' interest. It will be seen that Mr. Norris has ought forth no new measures, but uply reviews those schemes which e-Legislature has already con sided, and which it seems to us ought settle them for the present at least, e asks the press to give publicity to s address anil for this reason we iblish his views. COTTOIT SEED TEST. ARTICLE TWO. Having tested the bunch cotton with e Cook, in favor of the latter, I deled some years after, 1870, to give ickson's, of Sparta, Ga., a trial with y hybrid which resulted in favor of ine, and afterwards I procured a ishel of Dickson's cluster, of Oxrd, Ga., and planned a lot oflg acres, jll fertilized, expecting to realize 'O bales of cotton from it. It did -t grow very large, but I bad never ?n any cotton so filled with shapes lore. They were crowded up* so >sciy on short limbs that you could ver over five or six shapes wiih your en "hand. -A drought commenced out iiio 20ih of July, and before it ined the stalks stopped.grooving, apes dried tip and remained mostly the limbs, so as to give a novel sight behold. I had it carefully picked d it made about 1,000 pounds. This , after being planted every year ice in cotton/ exccpt one in wheat, d manured mostly with cotton seed d acid phosphate or some ammolted fertilizer, reduced in size to 1J res, and manured with one sack of >bsonrs com and cotton food, made ;t year flS87) 2,009 pounds, planted fh Fee rkin seed. [ decided to give the cluster another ai and planted seme land, not inauy ars cleared, with it, and about the :h of August (there being a Dught) the shapes dried up and reused on the stalks so greatly that it iked as if the field could have been ! set pn fire in many places. Iu a short | distance off I had a field planted with i rnv hvbrid seed, which I thought (without keeping an accurate account oi' the yield of either) made near twice as much per acre. The above tests, from close observation induced me to continue the planting of my hybrid until 1SS5, and I have said that if I could get no other seed but the cluster I would discontinue the planting of cotton, and instructed the hoe hands to cut up all similar stalks even where j the stand was imperfect, in order to ; gel clear of it. On a sandy plantation j where the land is freshly cleared and j on bottoms, the yield may be good in j a seasonable year, but on hill lands j similar to mine with drought, would j be a failure. Let us bring reason to i bear and have a good cotton growing | in shape and form like the Peterkin or i my hybrid, planted in rows from 3 to j o-h or i feet wide, according to fertility I 01 sou ami mmea m arm irora 2 10 22 ! feet apart to get the strength of the ] soil, manure and summer rains, in i place of rows being in less width and j cotton left crowded in drill, as is generally done with the bunch varieties, and having 3 or 4 stalks to support in place of one, is it-not reasonable to suppose that one would grow large limbs of good length- and shapes from 2 to 2? inches apart, so as one would not retard the growing of the other, retain its shapes and fruit much better during a drought, thsif by having so , many crowded up on short limbs, so as one to take moisture from the other and the effort in the development of fruit destroy most of them and be left , dried up ou the stalks. Observation teaches that stalks generally never develop in fruit more than one-third of the shapes, unless on fresh and bottom lands or a seasonable year., , About the 10th or 12th of July last, I counted 85 shapes 0:1 a Peterkin stalk, but omitted to notice the development of fruit. I don't suppose after grow? ing three times as 'large, it matured over 50 bolls'. I will in my next article give mv test trial as* to the > I -!.u .rii.. 1 yicm uxiiJUXULCi ft.nl uuu my uyuuu.

Jt FAITH CORE F iRLY BEATEN, I Chaplain Ha; l V.'rUr* Following B?marVah'" I From sAc A:it:.iy -V. Expretx. For many years my wife had been the victim of nervous dyspepsia, of the chronic, distressing and apparently in curable type from which so many of her sex suffer, languish an^ die. It was all" the worse becar.sc the tendency to it .wasinherited. She had b^ea under the systematic treatment of many of the best physicians in New York andBrooklyn and elsewhere for twenty years with only temporary relief. In fact, there r?... :t- fV,of were 1C\V, 11 <411 y, A.iliua Ui iu.uu uiai. \JLXU j not distress her, so diseased, sensitive | and torpid were all the organs of digestion. The usual symptoms of dyspepj sia, with its concomitant ailments, were all present?bad taste in the mouth, dull eyes, cold feet and hands, the sense of a load upon the stomach, tenderness on pressure, indigestion, giddiness, great weakness and prostration, and fugitive pains in the sides, chest and back. I have often risen in the night and administered stimulants merely for the sake of the slight and transient relief they gave. Intermittent malarial fever set in, complicating, the case and making every symptom more pronounced and intense. ' By this time the pneumo^gastric nerves had become very seriously involved, and she had chronic Gastritis, and also what I may be allowed to cali chronic intermittent ma larial fever all at once. For the latter the physicians prescribed the good, oldfashioned, sheet-anchor remedy, Quinine gradually increasing the doses, until ?incredible as it may seem?she actually took thirty grain's a day for days ix succession. This could not last. The effect of the quinine was, if possible, almost as bad as the twofold disease which was wearing away her strength and Iu*r life. Quinine poisoning was ;-ainh;iiy evident, but the fever was there still. Almost every day there came on the characteristic r-ifL ??r fnllmvprl I by the usual v -ness and collapse. About th:> time'I met socially my friend Mr. N >r:<>? a member of the firm of Ch i;:::-:cy Titus 5: Company, brokers, of A.!any. who, on hearing from me these facts, said: "Why, I have beer: through almost the same thing, and Lave got over it." u What cured you?'1 1 asked eagerly. "Kaskine," he said, " try it for your wife." Ihadseen K iskine advertised, but had no more fai-.h in it than I had in sawdust, for such a case as hers. Airs. Hall had no higher opinion, yet on the strength of my friend's recommendation I got a bottle and began its use as directed. Now recall what I have already said as to her then condition, and then read TT-.r.- ~ it^ ^ wiuu lunowb; unucr tiic xvabxiuc ; treatment all the dyspeptic symptoms showed instant improvement, and th$ ' daily fever grew less and soon ceased altogether. Side by side these diseases vanished, as side by side they had tortured their victim for ten years?the dyspepsia n.lone having, as I have said, existed for t .ven ty years. Her appetite improved fro::; week to week until she could eat ind digest the average food that any v/eli person takes, without any suffering or inconvenience. With renewed assimilation of food came, of course, a steady increase in flesh, until she now looks like her original self. She stiil takes Kaskine occasionally, but with no real need of it, for she is Wwii. JL wtniuti uuo i t;r?uiu a aciwiiimv miracle, and the " New Quinine " is entitled to the credit of it, for from the time she began with Kaskine she used no other medicine whatever. | If you think a recital of these facts calculated to do good you are welcome to make them public. | (Rev.)
