M. nrged farmer? to plant broom c">rn Iu thi* connection the lol!owia-< from ihe 2faws and Coarier of the 8th of December will be of special interest: In the course of three weeks in Oc- j tober, it is reported, $1,400,000 in ca^h was paid out in the little town of Arcjla, Illinois, a placs of 2 500 inhabitants, to the farmers of the t;e:ghborhood for their crops of broom corn. The buyers were the a<jeat^ or the e?Tha rkr:f?f? i,f oroom HtMiiuisv^iuic*a. r..? the prodnct at the besiuning of the season was $60 a ton. Later it ro-e to $100 and even higher. Tne average cost of raising the crop 011 land rentiD?r at $5 an acre, it is stated, is about $33 a ton. We note these tever*! reported facis [ for the sake of whatever intere-t ihey may have for larraers in these parts, j For several years pa<-t we hare advised farmers in South Carolina to r-xperiment with the crop i i question, and we repeated the adv:ce las.t \car, in I time to allow it to be applied to this year's crop operations. Any ot ourj agricultural friends who so applied it I doubtless have gocd reason to eon- j gratulate themselves on haviDg done so. We renew tbe suggestion now in good time for its application next season, which is several months off. A crop which will bring $1,400,000, or the half of that sum, into a neighborhood or county or district every year, is a crop worth cultivating. And broom corn is a crop that cau be grown j in nearly all parts of South Carolina. We have been tola oy a iarmur wuu waa familiar with the crop as grown in New York, that the finest specimens of it he had ever seen were grown in the low conutry, iD this State. It is not hard to cultivate. Th3 general requirements, we believe, are about the same as those lor corn or sorghum csne. Some of our progressive farmer* frhonld give it a fair trial. Tbo exp riment will r.ot cost much, and it may lead to comfortable deveopmeets. It is by adopting now crops that oar farms shall prove profitable ia the fa?are. Broom corn seems a good crop to look after. The second battle at Moddle River r3?uItioj in a terrible British defeat will more than ever convince the British that they will have no walk over in South Africa. It is interesting to note what outside newspapers including the British press have had to say about the war even before this jast cusasier. The London Saturday Review ba% begun to discredit reports. It says: "Rumors (bat the Orange Free State B^ers are returning to their farms must be received with extreme caution," bat it thinks that "the Boers probably begin to realize now that thty cannot win in the end." Since this wa3 written the Boers have had much to enconrage tiiem. Many of the European papers are new asking tbe question, Can England win? Charles Loarent, in the Paris Matin says: "Punishment reaches England at the time of her greatest arrogance. The United Kingdom is safe, but there will be an end to "Greater Britain." The c >ij quest of the Transvaal will never be oompleted, and other enslaved nations will also rise, for courage as well as cowardice in catchinsr. Deeoite their ownership of the cable* the En?lisb will not be alia to preveut the world from knowing the truth The?r will mast bend before a patiiotism which to fay the least, as great as their own." In Germany the Literary Dige-t states that toe pre>R is harirg much fan quoting Bismarck's saying that "John Bull may .turn out to be an asinmauc prize ua imuci iuau ? . The German paper Fiankforter Zeitung says: "It ia all rery well to talk of mobilizing another army corps; but tbe thing is not easily done. Great Britain ha? ft ?rr?at number of battalions which ? ? o need only men to make them as mag niQcest as tfcey appear on pape . Their war (.trengtlr Is supposed to t e 1,000 men. In ti*e of peace tnev cumber hardly 400. An army corp* has three diyiaions of 12.000 men; with the fifth division, which is >.t present being 'organized, there wouM be 48.000 men. At present, Gre?=t Britain ha.? only 41 battalions ot infantrv left, with very little cavilrv and leas arti lerv. Deducting the un fit and th >se who nre already s'nt or designed to be sent to fiil the ??p-> in Africa, only 12,300 regulars of the infantry remain. Tbe reserves will yield, at the highest, 30,000 men. If ih'ioe 13,000 men are sent to Africi, Ti>.eland remains UflDrotected.

Well, now, to begin with, I en- j listed iu Chester, S. 0., on September ; ! 51st, where I remained for ten iJajsi and was then sent on to B\>rt liiie-,j Kansas, at which point the regiment j was recruited. After the regiment j was fully recruited we were moved i from Fort Riley on October 30 h to tan Francisco, reaching San F; ancisco on the afternoon of November 4'fo, w^ere wc waited in camp a the Pre?ido for assignment to the transport for carriage to Manila. My regiment, which is the 40th, U. S. V., and compauy M, was aligned to transports Ohio and Indiana, which .ailed from San Francisco on .November 23rd. I am on the Ohio, which lauded here Saturday morning, eight days from San Francisco, with Col. Goiwin and staff, band and six companies of the 40th Infantry and 211 recruits, making a total of 850 men. 'Teddy'6 Terrors" are again going to the front in the Fortieth. A great majority of the officers were formerly members of the Rough Rideis and participated in the assault of San Juan wnt wViir-h ?ivp. thft regiment audits gallant colonel a national renown and an enviable place in the nation's history. The regiment is proud of the d.stinction of possessing so many officers of tiied aDd valiant courage, but tf eir natural modesty bas thus far witdheld the soubriquet of tbe "Figbtii.g Fortieth" from being applied to it.
