EXTRAVAGANCE IN* PUBLIC AFFAIRS.
We Lai occasion s-everai times to
point out the lendency to extend Ihe
inactions of the Government beyond
legitimate limits, and we have
calied attention to the fact that there
seems to be a feeling now <hat every
f.la.^s is iGstiPcd in ^retting: all it can
out of the public treasury. The tendency
is to regard th<* treasury- as a
kind of "grab bag."
Ex-Secretary -?f Agriculture J. Sterling
Morton in the Forum 'or this month
discusses the necessity tor retrenchment
in expenditures, not on!y in the
Federal Government, but in municipal
and Slate all'airs. Mr. Morton is
entitled to spe*:: on the fuojVct. He
is no-. -ia-p-y ;; i'aecretical believer in
economr in public affairs, but his administration
r-f his department showed
that !.c kne- how to practice what he
advc-cates. fie returned to the treasury
over .$2wv%000 appropriated for
his n?e as Secretary of Agriculture.
He thicks that it is time for a change,
lor it is retrenchment,?or Ruin.
Mr. Morton begins his very instructive
article by referring to some
very primary principles. "The natuv
.1 right? of a person are: life, liberty.
id the privilege of owning and cont'
o);:ng his lawful accumulation?/'and
~e therefore very logically concludes
? " ??.U? , ?/-, lave nnfi(>5 <!T!r1
tt;c i;vnu iu
collect taxes was vested in this democratic
form of government for the sole
virpose of raising revenues to proteci
the life, liberty, and property of each
of its citizens," ';nu "it never was in:ei.ded
that the legislative branch ol
ihe Government should impose taxation
upon ail to enrich a few." These
c.rc simple principles, but somehow
ouifCongressmen seem to have for;roiten
them. Taxation should be designed
to iraise revenue for the pur
pose of paying the actual expenses of
the Government. All are taxed for
this purpose, and it is taking awaj
ihe rights of individuals to tax all tc
iili the pockoJs of a few. Or as Mr,
Morton pats it: J,The multitude oi
voting met- :a the United States nevei
intentional1/ cast ballots in favor ol
taxing ali of themselves, either di
rectly or indirectly, for the purpose
of putting money into the pockets o:
a few of themselves. Nor did thej
ever by vote doclare in favor of taking
me puono domain away iruiu im
people for the purpose of donating ii
to corporation? or bestowing it as s
gratuity in single tracts upon individuals.
Xor ".;as the American ballot
ever approved the raising of
money from the people of all the
States to improve alleged rivers and
harbors?of a . purely local utility?
for the benelu of a relatively lew
ciiizens in single States/'*
"T'no riov rf ve>frpn^hmpnf'- nr thf
day of rain, for the Government is
awaiting the people of the United
States in the not remote future," is
the strong languai-o used by Mr,
Morton in his exeesdingly thoughtful
discussion of public expenditures. If
is lime to return to "the ancient faitb.
that the sole business of Government
is to pro'.ect life, liberty and property",
and ;cspurn tbo doctrines of commui-isrn.
v;iiich would have the Government
oo everything for everybody
The tendency '* wards "de-individual
ism'-" snjrua uo cnec&en.
The figures showing tbe increase oi
expenditure? year after year should be
kept st all limes before tbe people.
As population increases., it would
seem iLut tie expenditures of maintaining
the government should decrease
j-er capita iustead of increasing.
With a population in 1S40 of 17,009,453,
the net ordinary expenditure*
~cre $24,149,020, or $1.41 per
o;pi.s, :uu the gross expenditures
$2$,220.o3-i, or 81.05 per capita. In
J -i0? v.irh a population of 23,191,870,
':.c tie ordinary expenditures were
f 10,948.3S3. or $1.77 per capita; .sross
exv-.odiiare-C04,71S or $1.92 per
capita. In 1800, wi-h a population of
1,443,321, the net ordinary expenditures
were $03,200,870, or $2.01 per
capita, and gro>> expenditures $77,
055,120 or 2.45 per capita. In 187 U,
*Ti;i a population of SS.ddS.o71, net
<""diii ry expeii;:'.-ures ?309,653,561 or
68.03, aiid ir;-w-;s expenditures 702,907,843
or $18.23. In 1SS0, with population
of 50,155,783, net ordinary cxpendiuires
$:.07;042,955 or $5.3-1 per
c pita: ^ro?< < xpe::ditares 8700,233,23$

There mi -.; be .?ome reason for this
srreat incre:.-e in public expenditures.
Accord!io Z\Ir. Morton from 1870 to
1880, the total disbarsemenfs for pensions
were ;?020,0$8,179 or 19.09 per
c:n: cl the net ordinary expenditure?,
not i:ic:u0'::4 premium? or interest.
From I -'( to 1890, the to?a!

Mk. Calvo and Mr. Koester, the
: proprietor and editor, respectively, of
' the Columbia .Register, could not agree
on Mr. McLauria's speech, and the
result is that the Register will have a
new editor. It seems from Mr. Koesters
statement that he wanted Mr.
! "\!>T,nnrin's sDeech Driuted in fall, and
: Mr. Calvo did not. Of course, Mr. j
Calvo has a right to run his c-\vu j
paper to suit himself, but when possible
if a speech like Mr. McLaurin's
is criticised editorially, it seems fair
1 tbat the speech should be published

It seems that the editor is getting j
Ej rather tired of the correspondents
' mentioning the condition 01 tne roaas.
: and rightly too, for it is generally
understood that they are not good at
' present. If it continues to rain, the
ed'tors of county papers will have to
" pass an edict against correspondents
mentioning the rain ?it is rather hard
to keep silent on a subject that is

Very little corn has been planted so
[ far.
Some cf the farmers took advantage
f of the pleasant fall and did a great
deal of, plowing1. The old adage
? "Make hay while the son shines" is
c- always a srood rale to follow in regard
to farming.

and farmers had only set to work in

we have only had three days' visit
from "the month ot smiles and tears7'

and "fathered the same before (he first

This may seem unreasonable to
some people but it can be verified bv
people of unquestionable integrity.
There has been a quantity of commercial
fertilizers bought, preparatory
for a big cotton crop. Some of our
farmers have planted most of their
upland corn. Mr. Editor, I have for
r.f.?..n.oi vftors ImiiArnl fh.-if. thft inten
CL. > Ul o ^ ^
sivc system Ol l'araiiug is the more
proiltable. Ljt's take an acre of land
and see what can be made on it. An
acre is two hundred and ten feet
square. It planted in corn we woulcJ
lay oil the rows four l'eet wide and
drop the corn six feet apart, some may
say oh! that is too wide, it is not any
too wide for ordinarily thin upland.
Manured with a small haud lull of
stable manure and cotton seed compost
to the hiil it will, with favorable
seasons, make a gooil ear to every
stalk, which would be fifty-two and a
hair rows in an acre with thirty-live
stalks to ihc row. Xow multiply littytwo
aiitl a half by thirty-five and it
will give us eighteen hundred and
thirty-seven cars cn an acre which
would be equivalent to eighteen and a
half bushels per acre which would be
a good yield lor tl.c lir?t year. It
necessarily follows that after we shall
have built our land up to a higher
state of cultivation we could plant our
corn a little thicker i;i the drill. If
we plant it fjur loot apart then we
i j > m.H vnirrs

with fifty-two ttalks to ilis row and
perhaps with an average of one good
ear to each stalk, which wou!cl be
fifty two and a half multiplied by
fifty-two, which would giv us twentyseven
hundred and thirty car.*, cr an
average of twenty-seven and a half
bushels per acre. It we plant fertile
cotton land which would perhaps bear
three feet in tlx- drill, then we would
have about thirty-six hundred ani
seventy f ur stalks on an ac.re ana
would.,v.ith favorable seasons mr.ke
a good oar to each stalk. Some people
who believe in the intensive system ol
farming plant too ranch corn 0:1 the
land the first year and perhaps put, a
greater application of manure than
our thin upland can stand, especially
if we have a. ten drys or ivro weeics
drouth in July. I believe the plan
here suggested is practicable. I have
learned Irom observation that it will
not do to plant c.'-rn too thick 0:1 thin
land. It is olfcen planted loo thick
on bottom land. Mr. K titer, I have
beeu thinking how much cotton could
be made 011 an acre it the land was
thoroughly prepared and properly
cu.Itiva.tcu. out i iiiivs ttut tjiui; ui
present to give the plan aim calculation
as I have thought it ever and calculated.
It is gotting lute and I must
retire in order to rise early in the
morning and go about the wor'c practically
as wel! a? theoretically. So.nc
may say it is easier to farm on paper.
I am frank to confess ':h.j it is, but it
is not half so remunerative. This
seems a little out of my line of writing.
I most invariably drill oirou politics,
but X have tried to steer clear ot them
in this short article. Wa can make
p'enty of hog and heminv in our
county and State, and if we could get
ten cents for our cotton it would not
be long before the beneficial results
would give an impetus to the commercial
activity of our southern country
which, for skill, perseverance, and
industry, is unexcelled by any section
of people on the globe. We produce
enough wealth to bring our people
back to the prosperity they enjoyed in
the early part ot the seventies. But
neither time or circumstances win permit
me to enter into a discussion oJ
the causes incident to onr present
financial condition. Mr. Editor, ]
iike to write but do not have much
time. Excuse this short letter aud 3
will perhaps write you a longer one
some time in the future. k. n. j.

?.'ir. and Mrs. Jao. K. Patrick Celebrate a
T-oj;jc Period of Married Life in Which '
Their Relatives and Friends Join.
April 1st was a high day at White
Oak, tbe occasion being the golden
\r Midi no* rpr.rvnfinn of Mr. arirl Mrs.
J no. R. Patrick. It was quite a disagreeable
day outside, but all was joy
and happiness within. The aged
couple dispensed a bounteous hospitality
to their many guests, snd "all
went marry as a marriage bell," jast
as if they were young folks again.
About one hundred guests were invited
and about nicety were present.
Mrs. Patrick had so far recovered
i from her recent accident as to be able
| to Lrrcct her children and friends, and
receive the congratulations of the occasion.
It was above all things else
a:> occasion for thanksgiving to (iod
for his many favors to them. They
t?:ive always been blessed with an
abundance of this world's goods, and
have the love and respect of all who
know them. The evening of their
days is iilled with peace and honor,
and they are sustained by the blessings
of Him. who has said."Even to old age
I ;rn he, and to hoary hairs will I
carry you."
Seven children have come to th^ir
home, and they are all living and
were present on this occasion. Their
children's children are thirty-two,
twenty-six of whom are now living.
About one o'clock the guests were
a.i asseuiuiea in uie spacious pariur
rchere Rev. J. A.'Smith conductcd
a.iptopriate religious sen ices, a";d
made an address of welcome. The
presents were numerous and beautiful.
There were three present that deserve
special mention, these were the
gifts of the children to their parenis.
Oae was an elegant breastpin for the
mother, which wa? presented by Rev.
' (J. E. McDonald. Another was a

THE RXDCEYTAY REVIVAL.
Mr. Lcitcb Had Good Congregations and
Revived a Deeper Interest in Religious
J ^VfTctirSf
Vi"Editor? At the rcci aest of friends
; I shall attempt to give your readers a
| brief account of the revival recently
j conducted here by Rev. T. H. Leitch.
' i Mr. Leitch cams on invitation of the
I pastor and members of the Methodist
j Church and began a series of sermon?
j 011 the cveniDg of March loth. Jle
. j vras accompanied by his singer, Mr.
I Marshal], a man of great power in
prayer and giltcd wi th a good voice,
I v.oa Vior>n Tvr>n trained. Mr.
; Leitch is a man of striking appearjonce;
his magrriftccnt physique, flash!
iujf eye, and po?itiveness of characior
j proclaim him a born leader of men.
Two services were held daily, Sunday
excepted; three were held on that d >y.
Good congregations greeted the
workers at every service and much
interest was inan tested from the first.
Many, co doubt, went to hear the
singing; others to hear what the
prcachcr would say, .oi his reputation 1
as a plain talker had preceded him.
On:- Baptist and Presbyterian brethren
cailcd in their appointments for two I
weeks and worshipped with us, and
with great ad ventage to themselves,
for many of their members were
strengthened spiritually and reconsecrated
their lives to God's services.
Mr. Leitch is a strong- preacher.
His sermons are clear, pointed, logical:
his delivery good. He evidently believes
in illustration. Every strong
point in liis sermons was illustrated
with a touchiug anecdote or pathetic
story, and more than once during the
meeting, as the preacher told of the
triumphant death of a fallen woman
or boy hero, have we seen strong men
bow their heads and weep as children.
Mr. Leitch labored among us for
two weeks, and God blessed bis labors. I
? I
causers were cuuvencu aiiu uauc.sliders
reclaimed at almost every service.
We cannot say how maDy have
joined the different churches, for we
do know that as a result of the meeting
the town of Kidgewav is better oiF
spu'iiuaMy than it has been for years, j
\ir. Leinh has no salary, and is de- j
j pendent for his support ou the free-will i
1 ofljrings of the people. The citizens'
