It lends vigor to the generally

Goad Kcusous why \Vittii?!>oro Shoultl
Have It?-A I'lcu for Suited Action uf
Town and Country.
Messrs. Editor::: I have noted with
pleasure and interest your brief references,
from time to time, to the In
I dustrial Female School. i uniigmc
roil will take it not unkindly, for 011c
who sympathizes with your laudable
design to arouse the public to an effort
to secure the establishment ot such an
important Educational institution at
AVinnsboro. to give expression to such
feeling in your paper. With this in
view, and in no wise presuming to be
able to add anything to the pithy and
forcible reasons urged by you, I ask
the indulgence of a small space in your
columns.
"Winnsboro enjoys an enviable reputation
as an educational ccntre. The
culture and refinement of her people
prove this refutation has a genuine
XUlixiuaiifii. axiv
i (for many years) of schools almost
encourages one to claim there must be
some element in her environments
favorable to educational advancement.
Her location centrally in the State and
her exceptional healthfulnoss arc too
well known to need more than the
bare mention of them. But a mere
citation of advantages will not prove j
l
sufficient to secure the establishment |
of that important .schoel here. Pccuiary
a;:d other inducements must be
offered to effect this. In addition tu a
desirable building site, how much
money will the people of Winnsboro
give? In considering this question ii
is important to reflect that the sum
given would be large i:ul(cd that the
successful establishment of this school
here would fail to reward with a handsome
intcrckt. As a simple investment
of money the venture is manifestly
advisable.
Would not the good people of the
county agree to a small tax for one
year to secure the establishment of
this important school in our midst?
It is safe to say they would never have
cause to regret it. The accessibility
and advantages of an industrial school
to our daughters arc no despicable
things. If we all act together with a I
zeal commensurate with the prize to j
be won, we may win. Why not try?

With a Good Suggestion About tlu; Centennial
Arch.
Since mv last report we have been
visited with more rain, and it it still
raining. We only hud a day and a
half plowing done last week ;md the
same this week, and that with wet soil
the ground is so thoroughly saturated
that it will hardly be possible to plough
any before Saturday.- if it should stop
raining now, of which there is no sign.
The most of our farmers have about'
one-half of their cotton land lapped; j
?<.ine have done a little better. We !
will necessarily be much behind in [
planting this season. To* much rain !
for small grain ami not enough sun- !
shine, though it is looking tolerably j
well.
I
There lias been some upland corn ;
planted. The gardens have made no ,
s*j|^as yet; the ground is too cold and :
Some complain of their seed i
rotting. The fruit crop has been;
materially injured, though we will

as to the future outlook. It
seems that the towns arc the only
places that are looking brightly to the
future, us they are going into new
financial enterprises by way of savings!
and loan association. The question]
arises as to where the money is coming!
from to make up this capital. It is not'
in the country as a surplus, and if we ;
have the drawback of a bad crop there
will be none next fall. Hut we should!
be encouraged by the thought that
there will be money to loan if we can j

What has become of our railroad?
"We are getting' anxious to hear of work j
beginning at least. We are wanting
one of them through this neighbor-j
hood, and have a place selected for a
depot. We have one store and a postoffice
to start with, and if we can
induce our neighboring merchants to j
move their stores, then we can start j
with a small town. If the railroad:
authorities arc looking to a cheap road
bed, free fron trestles and heavy cuts j
and embankments and running through
the best section of the county, the.
ridge leading from Ilockton tic Horeb
and across Little River, where it could I
intersect with the G. & C. li. Ii., will j
be the route to run the road.

The year of our ever memorable ]
cyclone (18t>-i) we planted cotton the 1
latter part of April, and made an ,
excellent crop. After a rain of 14 t
hours duration it is again clear, and so i
cool that we may reasonably hope for <
a continuation of good weather. ?
Oh! That our farmers could be im- J

planting more corn! Too much at-U
tcntiou is paid to the cultivation of ! 3
the cotton crop. We consider it very |.
poor logic to buy corn, year after year j"
when we could so easily make corn j
if our farmers did consider it a minor j"
consideration. I Dr.
