The Press and Banner. Greenwood Department, I EDITED BY W. K. IILAKE. V Wednesday, April 2, 1884. Won wlin hiu? Snwwdod?J. A. II.N Tlienrjr and Practice. Tho ex impie given in the last issue of tlie Press and Banner was an isolated one, forcibly illustrating tlto necessity of, a careful comparison of tho results of different operations on the farm under any i given system, with reference to expense and profit. It was a method of success,1 consisting of a wise discrimination in adopting that line of operating and class! *?f products, which would most surely j secure a return greater than the expense ; or outlay, and hence involving the least nnuKilito risk. If little was made, little' had been expended. Economy was the' principle on which success was assured, J Mid it very forcibly illustrates the fact that no product of the farm, known to j tho w>rld, which requires kirct lubor to ; l?c engaged and employed about it from : the beginning to the end of the year will j pay tho expense of its production as a: staple crop at normal prices. Thin is a sweeping statement, but the facts justify !(. j We nive now an instance illustrating a different method altogether, but one no less success than the first. This was an instance of great energy and perseverance, assisted by ample means, and the^ operations of the farm were conducted | under the personal supervision of one of; Hie most experienced and attentive men | in the country. The lands were fertile: and well adapted to cotton, to which they J were mainly devoted. Cotton was the, crop. Stimulated by the high price at :i I which it had been selling, additional | ? land's adjoining were rented, and a force of thirty hands employed. Some money had been made by the operations of previous year's, and now it was intended to ; double the result; the crop of the year amounted to one hundred and fifteen, bales of cotton, but unfortunately for the jj proprietor the prico declined to 9i cents j per pound, and it required cne hundred 1 and twenty-five bales to pay the expense j of the year's operations. This effort was ' | enough : the experiment was not repeat- I ed. During the same year the proprietor < conducted a small farm, with a single I horse and one laborer under his own su- t pervision, the results of which were en-!| tirelv satisfactory. Following up the idea | suggested by this latter operation, he sold J i o: rented his plantation, which was too j rnmof/< f(ir his nersonal supervision, and j f bought a small area of about ninety acres, t as he said, just where he wanted it. His i theory was that he would rather have j ( land where he wanted it, without refer-; ence to its quality, than to have the be?t I land in the State where he did not want | it, for in the former case he could make it j what he desired as to quality ; according- j( ly the quality of that which he bought gave him the best opportunities to exer- ) cise his skill. It was a thin, sandy, bar- U ren soil, devoid of vegetable mould, j, cleared and cultivated by the first settles ( of this section, about the beginning of j j the century. It was just that quality of jf land on which we when a boy, liked toit hoc, where tlie cotton ktow eijjht or ten | inches hiyh with a bloom or two on thejj, top; too poor to produce grass, but here | ( and thete a may pop vine. We could soon ' { finish mir Saturday's task as well in pick- { Jng as hoeing. The experience of tho , previous year's operations with I lie laree c plantation, and tho one horse farm, re-! j versed his method of procedure from the ? extensive to the intensive. It was found r that labor like e?*ery other thingof value,! ?. could be wasted, or used to no profit,!, however actively employed; that it was1, not the amount of work done so much as . its quality, which yielded the proportion- j s ate result; not the number of acre* planted, , but the yield per acre. It whs safer f to extend the area downward, rather than ! c horizontally. With such a purpose holj. l>egan operations on his contracted area,: j deepening the preparation of every aere! j of land and fertilizing at a corresponding r rate. A judicious system of rotation was a adopted, alternating l>etween hoed or cnl-! ^ tivated crops and seeding down to grain. 11 The improvement soon became manifest.'t Land which before would not return the grain rooii upon it, and that produced ofjf far inferior quality, gradually improved q till It produced twenty-two bushel* of j, wheat of the first quality per acre, andi^ from sixty to ninety bushels of oats. !f Under the same system the yield of cot- j f ton, which had not relaxed its grasp on j t the affections and tastes of the proprietor, ] j, was raised to a bale per acre, and an ' ( equally satisfactory result from corn. A : ( system ^f mixed husbandry. L The principle underlying the opera-1, tions of this farm, though applied in a f different way from that of the first exampie given-, is the same?the principle of j economy. It is the principle which un- ' derlies all legitimate success. Nature , herself observe* and enforces it. flcr j treasures are yielded up only in conform-, s Ity with this law; her gold is powdered ' | Into invisibly small particles andmin-jt gled with the dust, so that every dollar of, it yielded must exact its eqtiivolent?a j dollars worth of labor. Her coal depos-: its are placed edgewise and not broadside j to be shoveled up and wasted without an equivolent in return: Ti e products ofj hor soil spring up to gladden the heart of i the husbandman only as a reward of his ; diligence and honest labor; no fraud! can bo practiced here ; no obtaining something for nothing, nor can halfway meas- j ] nres suffice. Crops are not grown profit- J ably%y the mere planting, it is a provis- < ion ot nature in conformity with the Di- I vine doeree that man shall eat his bread ' by the sweat of his brow. Applying tins J same principle to the operations of thf> j farm, it is known that the product per. I acre depends upon the conditions to which ' tlio growing crop is subjected: It fol-; lows, therefore, that no greater area should ' bo embraced, than that for which all the conditions required for the development ot the crop, can be secured. According to the following practice, a f \ v?r kitiv kavitic* a tfi t'innp ftmnntif nf rA. .......w " (* , sources at his coinmand endeavors to see how far ho can spread them, and the re-1 suit Is usually as thin as the want of con-1 centration in their application. A cart of, manure is amply suflhient for a given! area, but if instead of restricting it to tho proper area, it is applied to ten acres, it! had better been sold ; both it and the labor of application Is wasted. Every able bodied man is endowed by nature with physical power enough to support himself and those naturally dependent on him, if that power is properly applied and directed, but if he fails to restrict it to a proper limit and undertake more thnn ho can do, he is wasting his: energies to no purpose. By a study of, these two examples of success we see that: the controlling effojt of the one was to, avoid incuring expense; if ho could not! make his labor remunerative he wished lo avoid the expense by dispensing with it. In tho latter case the effort was to so utilize his labor as to obtain tho best resalts from it. If an acre of land could be made to yield thribble or quadruple what! it did with labor at a given value, it was i Equivalent to reducing the cost of prodnc- i fion ?t the same rate. The one is an in-' taoeeof prudent management; the other illustrating the value of thoroughness, and accuracy in detail of the operations of the farm, and deserves to be imitated, I for it is by this means that the best and j roost lasting results arise and continue j for generations to come. Lands become j permanently enriched, their products are j less liable to be cut off by partial drouth, j and the operator has done a lasting ser-1 vice after which others may pattern, and ( be able to attain like results. There are other examples of success il-1 inatrutinor ?n ?ntirplv different method ' IHMM.....Q ?... ^ j from that adopted by either of the two! ? of whom we have spoken. We will! * speak of that class ugain. The Monroe fN. C.) Enquirer says: The Presbyterian Churches of Monroe j and Mathews, N. C.. have extended a call j to Rev. J. P. Marion, of Greenwood, S. i C. He has preached for the churches and gave great satisfaction. It is thought he will accept the call, l'hesechurches have Heen without a pastor for the last three &onths< Conquest of the South. It is said that a colony of farmers, from the Highlands of Scotland, have recently settled In North Carolina. They speak 1 both English and Gaelic, and are a desirable class of people?all small farmers. This is said to be the first of a large immigration of these sturdy people, to the South. A large number of Northern poople are also prospecting for homes in the South. The genial climate, variety and value of products, fertility and cheapness of soil, all combine to make our Southern lands most desirable, and the indications are that when the tido fairly sets in, it will pour a flood of immigration down upon us, that we have not anticipated. Southern lands are engaging the attention of foreign capitalists to an extent they have never before do-.:e. Iin Intelligent voters aro indispensable t the integrity and perpetuity of our Re publican institutions. In Senator Blair' recent argument in the U. S. Senate, i favor of the Educational Bill, of wliic he is the author and chief promoter, h gives it as a reasonable estimate that on); throe-foilt tlis of the voters of the conn ' try are fitted for the elective franchise, o 1 that at least one-fourth of our whole vot ; ing population are unable intelligently t ] weigh the reasons, pro and con, n? t | the public measures brought to the arbi j tranient of the ballot-box ?Exchange. I Senator Blair, we think, gives aver; high estimate, three-fourths, of the pop : illation of the whole population, who ir ' intelligrntlg to weigh the reason.*, pro am eon, as to the public measures brought t the arbitrament of the ballot-box / I there aro that mniv the country ina; breathe easily?there is no danger, with majority of three-fourths of the whol voting population thus gratified. W were simple enough to think that ther were not one-fourth of such voters, els how is it that the Radical party carry tin 'elections. Hut what we w'ould hav> I liked, is, that Senator Rlair liad explain ed the connection between the teachirij I in one of our model common schools ! and the "public measures brought tn th< | arbitrament of the ballot-box." Wha inspiration emanates from the averagi colored teacher, through a little effort a writing, reading, and spelling, to revca to the inind of his pupil the great princi pies of government? Perhaps these ari better times than those of our schoo days, for wo confess that, on many meas ures, wo feel that we might very properly be placed among Senator Blair's onefourth ; and then, at times we think thai Senr.tor Hlair might be placed there himself with much propriety. Truly oui common schools are becoming a favor in the land. Growth of Sontliern Industries. It is estimated that the cost of cotton mills inaugurated for construction in this State since the beginning of the year will cost 83,2.r?0,000 and will add 100,000 spindles to those now in use in the South. If such be done in these "hard times" what may we not expect on a return of "flush times." This capital is mainly furnished by our own people, and they are poor. It is fair to assume that a like investment is being made in each of the other Sonth?-.? Qlntno. I. ? r. mense areas in various States are being bought up l\v wealthy land companies, and Kettled by tenants of their own selection. These lands, wild and waste, it is true, are lK>ught at a nominal price, and perhaps is the most that could be obtained for them; but the signs of the times are not encouraging in this particular. Monopolies are danperous, and especially in such matters as affect the unity of the body politic, every part of which should J beat in unison and sympathy in order toi Tl.iu iu lint n rimtlirwl nf poll- ! quest, by which the South will be as ef-| feotuallv occupicd mid wrested from lis, j as if overrun by them ns conquerors; it j is a peaceful process, however, and not | likely to nrouse opposition, but will, the! more surely bo crowned with success.! The history of larpe foreign land compa-j nies is a sufficient warning against their j obtaining a foothold in our midst. It is far better and safer for the Stato that onr lands be occupied by people of our own choosing. Worthy individuals from any quarter of the globe, are not be repelled, who act upon their merit and responsibility, but powerful monied corporations care for nothing but their Rain. Other schemes are resortel to looking ultimately to the acquisition of Southern lands at cheap rates, with Southern tenant*, by a process of money loaning, which will operate as a purchase in the final adjustment between tho*borrowerI and lender. With such schemes at work, | in a few years, there will be an astonish- j ing revolution in the character and in<li- j vidiialitv of tho Southern people, and j how to proserve that individuality is an important inquiry. Of one thing we aro well assured, that the price of land will >c greatly enhanced as even private setters come among us, and develop the productive capacity of our soil. Let ourj < people be patient, settle their own sons J ind daughters on portions of their farms), md in a few j*ears the country will bej fettled to an extent that is not now! bought of. "Hasten slowly" in this j' natter of foreign immigration, is an ex . ellent motto for our guidance. High Price of School Books. Parents complain of the heavy expense; < >f hooks they arc required to purchase | very year for their children. It is notj( infrequently the case that an entire new jj inpplv has to be bought, not that those in , iso have been worn out, but a more re- 1 cut work on the same subject has been ssued, which is an improvement on the' >ne in hand. Wre attach no blame to the i <>acher for endeavoring to keep up with ;' 1%** r? <* li ski T r IiaaIto ' tre to he purchased lot him adopt the nost approved authors, while at the .same ime a proper regard for economy should 1 iidnee him to adhere to those already in ] ise as far as is consistent with a judicious , :lassificati<>n of his pupils. Under a com*letont teacher, accord in ir to the modern" ystem of teaching, text-hooks are used j nore as hooks of reference than as excln- <, ;ive authorities ; and hence a number of, lift'erent authors on the same subject are! tot objectionable. The teacher is the:' iroper authority in the school room, who j hould be sustained and confirmed in his ,*iews by the book of reierence The! rhief source of expense is the heavy; iharges made for these books, and itap-^ >ears that there is no uniform price. An ! | nstance has been brought to ouratten- I ion in which the price of a given booki' anged from sixty cents togl..r>0. This is j in imposition, which call only be reme-i lied by the aid of the Stat school an-ji horities ill adopting measures looking j1 o this end. "Of the making of books! j here is no end " indeed, and tliev ought , o he cheap, but such is not the case. j1 rhev are multiplied beyond measure. A | ie\v arrangement of the subject matter, a litterent nomenclature, or any, the slight-, ist pretext will furnish occasion fora new ! tditirn which is adroitly introduced into j' ho school, and all previous editions must ^ jive place because the different editions annot be used hv the same class. Sharp-! ?rs are entering into the department of; i education as well as intoothers, and the!1 vits of authors are materially sharpened, , ind keep apace with the liberality and j mthusiasm of the irovernment in providne the means for the* education of its!1 tubjects in spite of themselves, or even ! heir capacity to receive it. It is becoin- j ( ng one of the most inviting fields of;? speculation and is beimr already nilitrent-j v cultivated. We think Jt the dutv of . he school authorities to so system ize this ( natter as to protect parents and guardians;; rom imposition. The burthen is begin- ! ling to create dissatisfaction, and the ' ilame more or less placed on the shoul-1 lers of the teacher, where it ought not to i rest. t Whore the Responsibility Rests. It will be noticed that the great nationil industry of acri'-nlture, employing ",070,498 of our population, and the value if whose farms and stork aggregate ?12.104,0W).SH)7 has but eighteen Toprrsen-! tatives in the House of Representatives' \t Washington, barely six per cent, of; the whole number. As the voting pow- j i>r of this country lies In the hands of its; igricnltnrists. they alone arc responsible lb- the selection of 221 lawyers to protect the farmers's interests.?American Cultivator. What think our agricultural friends of the above fact ? Is it not a reflection on | the intelligence and independence of the American farmers? It at least shown an j indifference, which is any thinsr bnti commendable. Thev allow others to control their interest and then complain i if it is not managed to suit them. The, same indifference is shown in local lcris-1 latnres; representatives of other inter-| ests are, in the main, selected, who very | naturally subordinate all other interests i to their own. A body of merchants, lawyers manufactures, or mechanics, could view other interests only thmnsrh! own their spectacles: they do not assume; to have moro patriotism than other pt ople. \ The farmers should see that they have a representation proportionate to their, numbers and the magnitude of the inter- i ests involved. It is not necessary or de-1 siraMe that they should divert their attention and become adroit politicians; all j that is required is an intelligent compre- j hension of the function* of govern-1 ment, and of their riuhts and duties under it. Such a representation would operate to check much of the abuse of the of the powers of government, suppress monopolies, sever combinations for fraud and injustice. It is not claimed.' either, that farmers have more patriotism and honesty than other people, but quite us much ;anc1 itistheirdiity to themselves, to the great interest they represent and to the country, that they have a complete and full representation in whatever affects their calling, and not let it be neglected and continued universally, as a convenient toil for every body's service. The Circnit Court. The illness of some of the Circuit Judges has pointed out a deficiency in the judicial system, that fails to provide for a Contingency which fortunately has not often happened, but may at any time, and sltould have been provided ior. We see no'necessity for any additional Judges with salaries, but think the suggestion of the Columbia ItcgiKtrr a good one?that the power be vested somewhere for the appointment of a Judge pro tempore. Every liar in the State perhsips, h.is a member who could discharge the duties incident to the position with satisfaction to all concerned.
