Men who have Succeeded -S. E.'s Ex-.1 n II? ... ||.A perience auu inicui-f uu mc Farm. 'the snbjoct of this sketch ontcred npor life, before the war, a penniless boy. Al the ago of twenty-one lie began work or his own behalf, as a common field laborer, at ten dollars per month, storing awaj littlo by little of his annual earnings, till within a few years he arm initiated enough money to enable him to stock and supply a small farm of rented land. Operating upon this, under his own supervision and management, he soon saw r?i? thn of thp insnired dorlara tion that it was not Rood for man to be alone, and that especially in reference to his vocation ; whilo "A husband without it is needful there he A housewife within is as needful un he." Accordingly ho nought out and obtained for his companion and co-worker, a good wife?success half achieved?and the two uniting their energies, pressed forward, till at the end of fifteen years of steady persistant effort, he had purchased and paid for seven hundred acres of land, twenty-three negro slaves, seven head of mules and horses; all the immediate proceeds of the products of the farm, a handhome showing indeed. At this period in Sills history came the war and the emancipation of his slaves, which left him a little in debt; the property was destroyed but the debts were imperishable ; his experience in common with that of all others was, that those ante-war debts were troublesome customers, hard to shake off. Nothing daunted however, our irrepressible friend went to work again; he employed Lis own labor in making supplies for home consumption, and his hired labor ho employed in making cotton exclusively, paying for their servieos a part bf the product of their own labor. Tii this way the farm was made self-sustaining, and all the cotton falling to his share Was so much net profit. This system was pursuod for ten years, within which time, he had paid all ante-war debts, increased liia area of land to one thousand acres, with a surplus of six thousand dollars cash on hand, and a proportionate inTown u?nnlr airrii-ll I r II m I imr)le \JL caic v/? mi .-www??, up . .. .... f ments. and other items of valuable- property ; hit employees who had worked under his direction and authority, were prosperous and content; the tide of prosperity blowed in upon him uninterruptedly. After ten years of success ori Ins farm, from which ho had accumulated about 25,000,000 dollars, forgettimr, or ignoring the real secret of his success? that the ?ye of the mxster is of more value than his hands, he left his farm to engage in the mercantile business. Delusive dreams of a princely fortune in this line rose up before hiin, and led him on. The lien law held out special induce^ " ments; it was a cord with which he could bind the products of the soil for the payment of his accounts, and thus, he thought to count his profits without Josa; but the cord often broke. After eleven years of varied experience up to dat<\ he finds that he has hardly boon able, with the utmost c ire and attention, to retain what ho had, undiminished. His farm operations during this latter period, have been conducted on the tenant, or rent system proper, iu which the tenants are left free to exercise their own judgment, and to work or not a? they please. He thinks that it was the mistake of his life, when he decided to withdraw his personal supervision and direction from his farm ; that although ho requires ample provision to bo made on the trym i a oniifinrt v#t the stock are tot u "? "-I I ? neglected and In l?ad condition ; the lands are uncared far and wasting away ; altogether there !s such a careless, wasteful mismanagement with the average negro tenant as to amount to a very iafrge per cent, of the original investment, and will Ultimately exhaust It if persisted in. Tha product4 of the average tenant farm will not pay n rent equal to the expense of operations; including the cost of th^ir maintainance, and of those dependent on tliem ?generally a very large number of idle consumers. Our friend thinks that it is too late in life now for him to retrace his steps and return to his farm in which there is more money, more pleasure, and more independence than in any other business in which ho could engage, and he urtrcs ^ young men to abandon the hope of sucresa at the counter or in the professions and betake themselves to this fountain of wealth, health snrl happiness. MethinKs lhat the tennnt system as practice'! iti connection with the lien law is the bane of the country. It provides shelter for hundreds of idlers, who will not work for their own support, hut pilfer and connume the fruits of honest toil. It disorganizes and confuses every other system, to such an extent as to virtually supplant them, and force its adoption on every plantation. This throws the hulk of the farm operations out from under the intelligence and experience of the country fcnd places It in the hands of the ignorant and improvident, to their own detriment as much as that of any one else; the lien law is the only support of this system, and with its repeal all farm operations will naturally assume their normal condition. It will be Reen that in the four examples we have reviewd, every possible condition of success has been embraced. In the first instance, the lands were 90 utilized as to yield a handsome per c -nt, on , the Investment contained in them, by a system adopted with express reference to that end ; the expense was reduced to the eo<t of seeding the lands to grain, and the expense of harvest. This system has tnany considerations to recommend it: It gave success in the instanco refered to, tinder the most adverse circumstances; the proprietor was unable to do anything himself and was therefore dependent on the intrinsic merit of his plan of operations. It gave absolute freedom from expense from seed time to harvest and again until their return. It does not employ more than one-third of the year for its entire duties executed in the most thorougn manner. it ?? mis sysicm Which is adopted to the short seasons ol the month where the balance of the year is employed in storing away, and providing for the protection and comfort ol stock against the severity of a Northern climate. It is the system best adopted t<i common use. The second instance illustrated a more intricate and expensive system, bat none the less successful, and is capable of indefinite developments. It is an advanced system, requiring the aid of science in connection with broad and aocurate experience iti all the details ol tbe farm. A careless and uncalculating Operator would soon run adrift; his expenses would soon get the mastery of the feltuation, and reduce it back to a more primitive system. It is a popular fallacy to s&pposs that success on the farm requires no special merit?take any example of success to be found in the country, and he will illustrate a character as distinguished in some valuable trait, as in the man of distinction in the other vocations of life. It requires a higher order of talent in fact, because of the varied conditions of success?hence we neyei find cranks, schemers or worshippers al the shrine of ambition resorting to the farm. The last two instances, illustrating Via aama (ivnfnin thn one dlrectlv. and the other by his success* up the time h< abandoned it when his success ceascd also, is the system which adjusts itself t-r the necessities of the South. We have aelement of paupers for whom employ ment must l>e provided: This ineJHcien cy as laborers requires that their opera tions be under the constant direction anc eootrol of the employer, and there is nf other system which will provide for sue? control. VVe invite our farmers to i thoughtful ?onsideratiou of the sugaes tions wo have thrown out in this and tho j5 tlirpo prececdins: issues of the Press and | Iianncr, with tho hope that they may <io- ^ ( rive benefit by a com pari son wi'.h their t own plan. We propose to look at the j other side of the question, as soon as wo; j can and are notified in advance that wo r ! may expect a lively timo from so great a' t ,! how, but we are confident we can stand, s , J more securely thin did Coliath, beforo * [the army of failures, feeling assured that! not one will be valient enough to step for-1 <} ward and acknowledge that lie belongs to '' '.that band. 1 ? jv A New Route to Charleston. jx , i We arc informed by representative o ; mon from Minefield county, that there is J a lively agitation ?f the subject of build- , 1 ing a connecting lino of railroad from a ^ Greenwood to Edgefield Court Hnine, 1 with a view of extending it to Aiken bv c tlie line that is alrea Iv graded from Edge- J Held, by way of Trenton : thus making a ' direct line to Charleston. It is claimed ( I that it will be forty tniles nearer to ' ,Charleston, than eitli"r of the other lines, ] jby Augusta or Columbia, from Oroen-j wood. The distance to Edgefield Court r House is about thirty-three miles. This i: is the route rer-ommended bv John C. a ' Calhoun years ajro. a-i designed by nature j '! for the location of a railraod, and that it ii would be built. That prophesy is about I' to be fulfilled. It is a level ridge from ! beginning to eild without a running j". | stream across it. It will develop a large ( and fertile scction of intervening eoun- ii I try, and when connection is made at ^ Edgefield it will utilize the road already j {] graded from that point to Aiken and notj likelv to be of service in any other on- [ fi nection. We liave often called the rit-jtl tention of our friends at Kdgefteld to tiie !| [importance of making this connection,! and now the matter is to be urged upon a them in a more substantial way; if they , w are wise they will not loose the opportti- j N I nity of effecting it. The Sooth Carolina j( Railroad should lend a helping hand, and j so should f'harleston. It would hrim* in- ! t| to competition a third line at this point: tl of intersection of two rreat rival lines. sl |The importance of connecting at this;, j point is enhanced by the prospects of an j j..'extention across the mountains to con- n nect with the irreat systems of road run- i v ining northwest and northeast. Ourj Edgefield friends need relv no longer on any other outlet; if any other was prob-! U( able it must be at a very remote period, j I while this is within their reach, and can ; h: be accomplished at anv e.irlv day. P' _' ti The Liquor Traffic. i? There is a s;ood deal of complaint about the side of liquor in town, bv some one, it is not known who, in violation of the law prohibiting its sale without a license. In the absence of any definite knowledge j , aa to who it is, suspician is very natural- K lv directed towards the druggists, who are allowed to son on me oorniiomc or a | physician. If it w?tx not possible to oh- ? i tain it elsewhere, even without a certifi- " 1 eate, or if it was difficult to got it, then it | might seem that the suspicion was well i founded, and the responsibility would j8F I rest heavily upon the shoulders of the rr I drujrgist, or the certifying pltysi nan. but tli i when it can be had elsewhere so easily, and in known to be brought to town in various quantities, through the express j |company nti I otherwise, it ought to re- us jlieve tlioin of any suspicion of sellinir i except asn'rietly authorized by law for legitimate purposes. It is a grave charge (under which to rest; thrit any class of ?itizens, not contcnt to confine them- 01 ^selves within the limits juriscril ed. "j should go beyond the law. and thus inonr double eruilt. If the evil proceeds ; fronl the drns!.'ist"?, thev Imvc either done H j this, or else the whole responsibility is C< I thrown upon the phvsieians for irrnntimr certificates imnroperly. There is no snf- T ficient inducement to justify the proved- * jincrin either <a?e with honorable men. ? ' It is not our purpose to ofif'-r a defense for f it 'any crnilfy party, '<ut merely to direct rt ,,| ? ? r.r fa ! seems to he overlooked. In vindication i" of their innocence, and in view of the s" j trafic and nlutse of it. hv unknown parl ties, the druggist?, \vp understand. lave j determined to abandoned tlie sale of liquor altogether. This is a high position jS ; f<>r them to occupy and ought to oomi mand Uie admiration of the community. Drunkenness no Excuse for Crime. ! * Ii The following article from the Spriiiff\ field Republican, forcibly presents views J tint are given too little weiirht: j i "Jndcing from tlie verdicts of juries. p( ' the decisionsof courts, and the testimony ?' j nf 'society.* one would infer that, a man | win nnts an enemv into his month which steals awav his brains and th?n eommi's (n crime is more excusable than he who in I the sudden iinpnlse of passion lifts his hand and deals injuries to the man who t-ns insulted him. The latter Iris hpon | maste?ci1 hv his surprise, an<l his repont- I . ance is as su'l'lcn as his crime. The lor- J | mer liis been cool I v coin? onward, per; bans for vears. repeating dailv the sin of whfch he Ims cased to repent, and nutting himself in ?nch a condition of horlv : and niind a< to he reuly on thQ sliirhtpst j provocation to h?-eak the laws ?>f the land Ci nnH injure >'is fellows. The common law of England, which has become the law of this oonntrv. has alwavs held flint drnnkjenness'is an artificial, voluntarily eonj traced insdnw, which, depriving men of their reason. puts fliem in a temporary frenzy. and is an aeer?vjiti'?n of the of- D 1 tence, rather than an excuse for nnv criminal misbehavior. 'A drnnkarfl.' says Sir Edward Ookn, 'who- is rnluntftrins i dfumnn. hath no privileie thereby, hut what hurt or ill soever he doth hisdrnnk! enness doth aggravate it." A lair of Pit- pi itaeus. in Greece, enacted that he who committed a crime when drunk should s* . receive a double punishment; one for the 1 crime itself, and the other for the inehrietv j which prompted him to commit it. The | earlier statutes of Massachusetts reirard- i ed the first excess of an inebriate as criminal, and punished if as a crime; lint our present laws onlv allow a fine for the first1 .. i ofTV-nce, and a fine or imprisonment forj the se<rond. Onr judires. taking their! tone from this moderation, are very apt to j w (Met off' persons who have committed an - ial other offence against. the law with a mild A i punishment when the excuse of iutoxica-, P< tion is ottered. j I: 'A case in point oecurred in T'ittsfield !?( recently, where Justice Gam wo] I let a ; n( young man off with a fine and costs who ! of had'taken enoutrh lienor to tnaKe liim j j mean and ncrly,' and in that condition j kicked a pail of berries out of an old ! man's hand and put. his finder out of joint.on the young ruffian's pleading that ho would not have done it had he not been drinking ! Under the crmmon law and the statutes of this and other States this violent depriving a man of the use of one of his fingers is a erime called mayhem. and punishable bv imprisonment, or hy a fine and imprisonment; and a judge who listens to such an excuse as intoxication for so grave an offence de-1 grades the majesty of the law, and brings I his own office and himself intodisre-' , sped. Nearly every dav we read of, if ' ; we do not witness, some brute who, for P* ! the sake of a base personal gratification,; P' 'gets himself into such ?i condition?be-, (' [i comes the 'voluntary demon' of Lord lo ,; i okp?iniu no n<ts 10 vpih ins (la^iuiim <m u i all about him, bents his wife and children m ,almost, if not quite, to death, and if they ^ T are only maimed he is 'let off* with a ^ , i fine, or. if they are killed, the chances aro ~ about equal that a maudlin jury will ei- ' ', ther acquit him or find him guilty with a recommendation to merry! B yond all ,; controversy, drunkenness is only -egard- j I ed aright when it is considered and treat- j od as a crime. "As a ricious and inex-; ' cusable selfishness, hateful to man, ab-: horred of God, destructive of virtue and I ruinous to happiness, it has within itself I . all the sin ami misery and infamy of a | ; crime,' and should be so treated by judg-! ; es, juries, and'the community ; and not' . | until then will it cea<e to be so common, I t and its baneful influence so extensive. Is : it wonderful that whole communities aro ' 1 stirred to their foundations and wholesale 1 j laws enacted against the manufacture and . sale of intoxicating liquors when even in K such a State as Massachusetts, religion, ' ' j philanthropy, and oil tho best interests, n i are sot at "defiance bv the passions of 1 .'those who drink, and the interest of those ** , I who supply, and the cowardice or incom- C petency of those who execute the law ?" , Y -??? - j tl Legal Hints fbr Farmers. j" .j We commend the following advice, taken from an agricultural exchange, for Sl the adoption of fanners especially, while r all might profit by its observance. li "To those who contemplate engaging n in a law.Miit no etter advice can be given ' than that of Punch, to those about to . marry. It may be all summed up in ono word ?"Don't!"

But by no means tro lawyers unnecessary, and should nov?r ho consulted. On the controry, conailting a good lawyer has been, and is, he means of keeping many a man out of rouble, and often Raves him many dolars. Tho drawing of papers, deeds, eases, agreements, wills, and the settleneut of estates, are among the many hings on which a lawyer's aid should bo iought. The rule is this: Consult a lawer euough to koep out of lawsuits." 40^ ? - Tuk temperance anniversary Wedneslav night was a success: the F3aptist hiirch was filled with an audience eager o hear Mrs. K.
