He was a good officer and a good man. j
Gen. W. T. Sherman needs from us
no introduction to our readers. 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

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

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

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.

The "Warning to th<; Farmers" bv
Mr. \V\ Ii. Doiy published 211 cm* last
issue contained sour- thoughts worthy
of rt fl-'ction. 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.

"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.

that the grip has slacked its hold, and
the many case?, of which several were

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

One of our young pleasure seekers,

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. I take
the authority in saying that this section
is entertaining such a belief and
will act in accordance. h.

FARMERS OF FAIRFIELD!
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?.
