Tlit' JJccemher number of the A'avil cm (MUicu'or lias an excellent articl r?n this subject, in which, assumin that the day for high-priced cottou ha parsed, owing, among other causes, t the increased production amour amounting since the war to some l\v millions of bales, the editor urges the the only hope tor the successful eultivj tion of the great staple in the futun must, depend upon reducing the cost < production, and enters into a stateimM: of tin; ways and means l>y which Thi may brought about. To the production of cheap cotton, h thinks three conditions are ncces-ary the decrease of the labor of raising it home raised provisions; no bono we capital. Labor can only be reduced b a proper rotation of crops, better prep; ration of land, and substitution of mr uure for labor?its other words, by cult vrtting less land, and doing the wor more thoroughly. J>y raisingprovisioii at home, one-half or two-thirds of tii cost of feeding farm stack will be savet as the small grains require but lilt) labor for their cultivation. l?y the us of one's own capital we avoid the ruii ous system of giving liens for nioue borrowed at from 15 to 50 per cent., an all the train of attendant evils. As the writer remarks, it is the cos of production compared with the sell in price, which determines loss or proli and if the price be only ten cents an the coat he only llvo cents; a liandsoni profit is realised, lie thus wncludt liis article "As it appears to us, tin? only hope c the cotton raiser is in diminishing i: cost?lie cannot force i! up to liig prices. We have indicate*! whatappeji to lie the plain, practicable means ( doing this, and, in conclusion, wi brirliy recapitulate, reversing the ordt' of discussion.

Supplement cheap home-mad manure with best commercial fertilizer: using such quantities of the Jailer a depth of soil and amount of vegetabl matter in it will justify. Great judj. ment and eau'ioy are necessary toadjtu these points, but when adjusted tne be. results will surely follow. lieu ting land for so much cotton, i first blush, appears to solve the vexe problem of costly labor.

The New Supply Bill. >-| The following synopsis of the new n Supply Bill, now pending before the i- House, and a comparison of its provis i- ions with those of the bill vetoed by the j it j Governor, we extract from the Union i- J Herald: ti The regular supply bill, reported on jj Monday from the ways and means corn (11 mittee, calls for an aggregate tax for all ' State expenses of ten and a half mills. This is just two-thirds of a mill in ex eess of the recommendation of the Gov ernor, and fully that amount in excess of the real wants of the public. The bill is, therefore, a mistake and a wrong to that extent. The bill also reported from the com mittee, covering the sections of the ve toed hill from the seventh to the twelfth inclusive, proposes to pay the indebted ness named in those sections in two years. This again is wrong. The term should be three or four years. The result is that the regular tax act will call for ten and a half mills, and the bill covering the past indebtedness will call for one and five-eighths mills, making the total twelve and one-eighth mills for the present-year. The Gover nor's recommendations would have re I 1 il.: . .........ill t,i oliniit fpn and jUUCt'U nun aiuuum. cu Uuw..? ... 'e I one-fifth mills. c*j The extra one-tenth of a mill taken *j from the deficiency levy and added to p." I the levy for legislative expenses is a specially objectionable feature, adnuj. ting of no excuse which we can see. ^ 'I'llis is the dark side; but justice is justice, ami we state the bright side. The vetoed tax bill levied an aggregate of thirteen mills. The first effect of the Governor's stand against that bill is that the aggregate amount is reduced by seven-eighths of a mill. The next result is that the bill now reported provides, as the vetoed bill did not, for the full payment of all appro priations 011 the basis, of last year's ap propriations. The third result is that all the ordi nary deficiencies of last year and the special deficiencies caused by the failure of the .South Carolina bank and trust company are provided for in full, whereas the vetoed bill provided for only one-half of the ordinary deficien cies and none of the special deficiencies. The fourth result is that the item of deficiencies will wholly disappear in the lax bill for the coining year, thereby re ducing the levy two mills. The fifth result is that the floating debt of the fcJtato is put in process of liquidation. These are the leading results accom plished even by the tax bill as now re ported. They might be?they ought to be?better, but they show clearly how much good has been done by the firm and reasonable stand taken by tho Gov ernor. These results will be appreciated by the people, though they will still hold the Gcueral Assembly to their just responsibility for nut securing better results when those results were eleailv and specifically pointed out to them in the message of the Governor.
