'JhkNews and Hkuai.w eontimus to make its weekly visits to me, and I j never fail to lind something interesting in it. South Carolina politics afford* mach subject matter for c<>:ivi l-afion, and is severely cririei-cd by the press of | tin* country, li is a deplorable fact j | that the grand old palmetto State, always heretofore noted for the in-1 telligence, dignified deportment, and j I chivalry of her people, and >pedaliy for the wi.-doin and prudence of her legislators, is fast looking her fair reoutation abroad. The dispensary law espbcially is ridiculed ai d denounced in no measured terms. Aikansas is free from any political strife at present; all clashes and conditions seem te be satisfied with the administration. A good deal of attention is being given to the repairing of public buildiugs and highways, and i the building and improvement of I schools and colleges. This State, hotj withstanding the seri?us calamaties she has suflered from the floods of the Arkansas and Mississippi Hivers, J | both last year and ibis, which spread j destruction and ruin ever a large ?.rea j | of her richest and best farming land, I | i? si ill for the most part in splendid ; i -hap?\ financially, and is rapidly! j C"Uiing to the front as one of the! j leading States in the Union. Be sure J I Mini see Arkansas' display at the i j NYorla's Fair, you that go there; ihat will give yea some idea of her res iiirces. I will be in Chicago t he last or I August, and would be greatly pleased | J to meet any one from your couutv at ; | our j-t ite building. This has been rather an unfavorable | I year f^r farming in this part of tie I | c untry. The crops suffered lirst from j cold weather in the spring, which was j followed ly continuous heavy rains, j ciusingthi! young plants lo become i siunud, and gate the grass such a| stronghold that at one time it seemed j like the crops could never be cleaned, j but for the past six weeks the weal her ! ! has been quite favorable and work j lias been pished forward with so uiuch I zeal and energy that "General Green" J with his strong armies has been cam- j plttdy routed, and the cotton crop is now in fine growing condition, and if no calamity befalls it later on, a good I nveragre croo of the staple will be made." There will be but little more j than hall a crop of corn made. Fruit and melons are plentiful but of rather inferior quality. I made a ten days' visit to Texas the latter part of June, and during that time I saw enough of the state to realize the fact that the "Lone Star" is indeed a great State, not only in extent of territory, population, and material wealth, but in many ways. She has more elegant and costly public buildings, more railroads, and the best free schools of any of the Southern States. The country a-ounil Dallas, and especially that in the vicinity of Terrell, Kaufman County, where I stopped for several days, is really charming at this season of the year. It is undulating prairie land, the soil is black anil gray sandy, and i: all et.closrd with wire fence-, and that which is not in cultivation is either used for pasture or for growing hay. Tho soil is bt?st admied to "rowing corn and oats, though a great deal of J cotion, wheat and other cn.ps ar# rai-ed. Considerable attention is! given to ?tock Htid cattle raising, and j ! fruit gro villi: in that section is quite a paying industry. Aio-a of the tarra labor i< performed by w11i:e people wih improved machinery. The fanners have yood teams and good Imiw s, and many of them lire in piiucely style. They have good cistern and well waer, and best ol all a healthy climate. We were ^o charmed with the delightful breeze that blows continually day and night that my betterhalf and our two little ones decid-'d to remain there thr?>uijh the h<-t summer month?, and they aie now enjoying irs health-giving benefits. From Terrell I went about 150 miles s mfh ovpr fhfi Texas Midland and the Houston and Texas Central Railroad, j making short sfops at Corsicana.. Ennis an-l several places of less im-1 portance until I reached the town of Hearne, situated in the rich cottnn | producing bottom land of the Brazos ! Ilivel*. In making that (rip .1 noticed ] that the further south 1 went the more j attention was given to raising c-Mton and less to grain, the more numerous | the colored population became, the! poorer the stock was, and the less i inviting and prosperous the country i gcheiHTTr^peared.
