Twenty six years ago he ordered Columbia to be burnt and within the next few days his boomers plundered this county burning and destroying all the cotton and provisions and learing behind tlaein only the blackness of ashes to mark what had been a happy and I prosperous county. Well does the j " ? 1 "writer rememoer ior two wa-k? auci ; the departure of Sherman and his ! thieres "w heat bran constituted the j only article of food left in the neigh-; borhood. Gen.

That the county has voted the subscriptions to the Cape Fear and Cincinnati Railroad and to the "Wades K/mv-w \Vimiit\avn oti/1 P'nmfiV Rflilrftfld ^ J II illilsMViVWUU VU-4%%" is now an assured fact, and the people are t? be congratulated. TTe can hope with reasonable certainty of getting the roads built unless the company which propose to construct them sha'l violate their pledge; and we are inclined to believe that the company mean business and will keep j their word inviolate. At any rate a j decided advancement has been made by the t'ote, and it is a great satisfaction to know that the people of Fair' field, recognizing the great importance j of contributing to their material wel-l fare, have performed their part of the { contract. It now remains for the company to do as they have promised j and keep their faith with Fairfield County, and from the toxe oj: Vice-1 president Morton's letters it can hardly be feared that lie will deceive us. The outlook for our county and j people is more encouraging than it has ever been, and with the rapid growth VJJL )) uilli aiv utuiiu i.v a.*.? low close upon the construction of the railroads there will be a great influx of population and a rejuvenating of the pluck and energy of our own people. With the roaring of the train along the ridge between the "Wateree and the Broad, the rumbling of the cars echoing from hill to hill from east to west, and the music of the thousands of spinules at the great Catawba Falls, Fairfield will have enough to inspire a new Impetus, anil will soon j till her proper and just destiny?one j of the best and most properons conn-} ties in the State. L'ucquai Taxation. Comptroller Ellerbe is repeating the (ft'irfoF his predecessors to adjust the assessment of financial institutions with the return made of other classes of personal property. We commend the effort but do not agree with Mr. Ellerbe in the circular pub ^ liihed in the newspapers purporting to on?truction of the law. Mr. Ellerbe* requires bank stocks to be as?essed at the selling price. It is true this may bi\tk>e fairest war of baring a true valnaii'/iv^fTrpin the property !>ut is it just or right to tax bank stock -? : - j ... . > >! > B'lian ?>,-> r?i hf?r r-Inss of ' tti ii? due iiuuv ?? / ~ . property is assessed at more than 50 j or GO per cent of a true valuation. We believe in and have advocated a | high valuation for purposes of tax- j atior. for the higher the valuation the ' l.>wer the rate. Again a true valu- ! ation is mi honest return, but when the valuation is guessed at the tax payers I are taught to become tax dodgers and ' to make dishonest returns. A gentle-; man from an adjourning county when j investigating the ra!ue of a certain ' tract of land remarked to us "1 sup-: pose you d* a# we do?return lands at i fcbont half what they are worth.-' So j it is with mule?, horses and in fact j everv thins is listed at about half of | what it is worth, ami sotetnny sworn ! to too. All of this i? wrong and if j Comptroller Ellerbe can set it right j lie will deserve ;he thanks of ihe State. I But the enforcement of a true return j should be all along the line, otherwise ! there wonld be discrimination and j unequal, and therefore, nnjust tax- | atiou. Don't force the banks up un j less everything else is forced up. A , hundred dollars in bank stock should j not be made to pay more taxes than a j hhundred dollars " in lauds, mules, i horse^>r anything else.

Mr. Doty is one of the largest cotton raisers in the county and lias had considerable experience as a buyer in the cotton market. Henry Gradv in an article on cotton and its kingdom say.': "Whether this staple i- cultivated in the South as a prollr or a paiMjn, :*n?l whether it shall bring ilie South t> independence or beggary, are matters } ct to be settled. Whether its culture &hall remit in a ho?t of croppers without money or credit, appealing to the granaries of the West against fctniue, paying toli to us tires at home and mortgaging their crop* to speculators abroad, even before it is planted -a planting oligarchy ui iDOMfv-irnucn>, nm; im? c usui j>tu the land through foreclosure, and hold by the ever growing margin between a grasping lender?or a prosperous self-respecting race of small farmers, cultivating' their own lands, living apon their own resources, controlling their crops until they are sold, and independent alike of usurer* and provision brokers?which of these shall be (he outcome of cotton culture the fuiure must determine." Whether or not the price of cotton will be as Mr. Doty claims is, of cou:&e, a matter jot^ecul&lian?.though lie-reasons for his predic tion. Misprediction may be wrong so far as ihe time set for its fulfillment is concerned, but the state of things lie speaks of will eventually come so sure as the >un shines unless the extensive culture of cotton is checked. The production of cotton in tie South is practically unlimited. In 1S30, the cotton crop reached only 1,000.00) bales, and even during slavery the crop was a little over 4,500 000 bales, ai.d it i;a> been increasing every sincc, except oc-at-ional during drought?, until 1SS9 90 it reached a* hi<rh as 7,313,720 bale?. There must be some limit beyond which it would mem bankruptcy. Savins* JBant&K. "We clip from the Manufacturers' Record the following editorial on the need of sayings banks in the South, which furnishes food for some of the financial cerebration which is going on in the country at present. Small sums deposited in savings institutions become active capital in developing a country and at the same time do work in the way of earning interest, whereas. when horded at home they are not only idle, but to the extent of their value, constitute capital withdrawn from the business of the country. It will be understood to what extent this withdrawal of money from circulation may be carried when it is known that in thirty States the deposits in the savi ugs banks amount to $1,425,230,349, which are deposited by 4,021,523 people, averaging about $354 to each depositor; er taking the whole population of the thirty States the savings deposits amount to $28.50 for eacli man, woman and child in these States. This is considerably more per capita than the whole circulating medium in the United States. In South Carolina there are only covlnorc 111 nrt^rnfimi many of the national banks have savings departments. Tti Massachusetts there are 17G savings hanks and in New York there are 12"). The Record says: No community will develop habits of economy and savings unless encouraged thereto by having a place where every spare dime or dollar can be deposited with the certainty of drawing a fair rate of interest. "With savings banks near at hand every man, woman and child gets into the liabit of economizing and putting away a few cents or a few dollars as often as possible in order to prepare for a rainy day. Where savings banks are not convenient there is but little inducement for the people to make the small savings which gradually aggregate, a* in New England, into hundreds of millions ?f dollars. The South is now producing an enormous amount of wealth; and with a united efi'ort through the organization of savings associations it would now accumulate surplus wealth more rapidly than any country in the world has ever done. The millious of dollars that ar<* now hid away in old stockings would be drawn out and would furnish an enormous amount of fresh capital with which to handle the business of that section. Out of a total population of 2,000,000 in Massachusetts, 983,000 are depositors in savings banks, it being the custom for parents not only te deposit in their ovn name, but aLso to make small deposits in the name of every child, so that when their children attain age they may hare a start in life. In the savings banks of that State there are $315,000,000, which is more than three times the national banking capital of the whole South, even including Maryland. These $315,000,000 play a greater part in furnishing the capital with which to conduct the business operations of that State than all the national banks in Massachusetts. Fven Rhode Island, with 330.000 population, has $o7,G9y,000 in its savings banks. Excluding Maryland, the whole South has less than $10,000,000 in its savings banks. The leaders in Southern development should consider these tacts and endeavor to begin the great work of developing savings banks. There is scarcely a town in the South where a well-managed savings institution could not be made profitable and at the same time prove or inucn vame to the business interests of the place, and encourage in the town, as well as in the surrounding couitry, habits of thrift and economy. The Seuth wili never attain the financial strength winch it should have until it learns to concentrate and aggregate its money by means of well-managed savings banks.

We are glad to report that the grip has slacked its hold, and the many case?, of which several were seriou?, are all about well. . The protracted wet spell has caused much delay in farm wort, al a corresponding date of last rear fully half of every farm had b?en ploughed, while to-day scarcely a furrow has been run. One of our young pleasure seekers, a few nigh's ago, rode ten miles in search of a party, and arrived only in time to learn of its postponement. We regard the letter of Mr. TV. R. Doty a timely one, and hope that it will prove efficient. Doubtless five million bales of cctton, as stated by Mr. Doty, will demand as many dollars as eight millions, and by such a change leave ample time and means for producing all such crops as will make the farm self-sustaining.

T TTJEIWTiO rwDEAItSIRS: We have bought the plant of the Winnsboro Oil and Fertilizer Co., which we propose to operate in the interest of Ihe farmers of Fairfield. Cotton seed oil is a product of the Southern farm which, from its valuable properties and the various uses to which it can be put, must ultimately in- I, crease the income of the farmer who raises the seed and the manufacturer who I j crushes them. At present, however, the price of oil is so low that its produc ""* u:~ spprt We I, (ion is hardly profitable ami we cannot oner you 'A U1S l>l IVI J V>U4 ... bought all the seed the Winnsboro 0. & F. Co. bad on hand, about 100 tons, < and will begin this week lo work them up. While doing so we will continue (o buy all that may be offered at prices we can afford to pay. The good that we can do you by running the oil department of our plant i> uot entirely within our control as "the price of seed depends principally on the price of oil. But there i3 another branch of our business over which we can > ?? ??? ?;)! nnomte ill VOUf I exercise a greater control, which we snow wv Ui.u ..... , interest, and that is our fertilizer department. We propose to bny only the best materials and to manipulate them so as to produce first, a high grade fertilizer of superior quality to increase the yield of the crops nnd improve the soil of l^ids containing a due proportion^ the elements of pUnt food but not a sufficient amount to make a large crop; secondly, two or more special brands with the elements of fertilization so compounded "as to best meet the need of special kinds of soil. If you know the nature of your laud and the kind of fertilizer it require?, buy "thegoods we will put up for that kind of land, /01 < you will nnd them to be' what they are represented and as cheap as sucb goods can be bought. If you do not know, come to rs, tell us what you can about ihe nature of your soil, the kind of crops you have been raiding, the kind of culture you have been pursuing, the fertilizers you have used, etc., etc., that we may judge what element or elements of plant food your land is deficient in and thereby be able to advise you what fertilizer it will be be?t;for you to use. ' ? tn vpflr manufacture and fur We want to co-operate wnn you aw uv?.? tiifeh you such fertilizer* as you will need and of course, for it is a matter ol j common sense, sell jou goods that you will find to b? of superior quality, j cheap and therefore prehtable for rou to buy. We want to build up a trade and keep it by selling you such goods and at snoh prices as will enable rou to make a success at farming. To do so we will try to compound our materials to conform to the teachings of agricultural science and investigation and the Experience of successful and practical farmers. It will be to our inte est to do ?o, for your success means our success. Our desire is that people all orer this State shall point to our county and say, "See what Fairfield is doing in the way 3f progressive fanning!" We solicit yonr patronage, uot only because curs is a home industry, but be ause ire intend to deserve it. When you are ready to purchase your fertilizers we will sell them to you fo -L.... morr>h?!if_ Whether you want :a?h or on litne, or you can get iucui uum :o buy or not we will be pleased to have you call and ?cp u?.
