Wo tliorottirlily sisrrce with all tlio Ciagett" has to say in reference to the imperative necessity for farmers to raise their own "home supplies at home," but.good frieml, how is the impecunious farmer to do this desirable thin*, if you rui.i his credit, so thai he cannot farm at all. Tha politicians who would win favor by de^troytnj tlic credit of tbc farming class, tuid thus cripple I lie best interests of the country are w.vstries to tis whose ways are! )>:;st rinding out. During the recent political canvass a tirade was made In this county ngjilnst^the lien law, and, it we were not deceived In our observatlons.a large per cent, of the white people who clatnoied for Its repeal ore compelled to get credit from thes'ores for the supplies with which to make the crops of] the coming jcar, while a considf ratde number of others wanted it repealed so that they1 could "control labor." Why the tlr.-t class of opponents to the lien law should want to destroy their own credit is more than we can see or understand, and why any man in a free; country should seek to make oppressive laws w hereby he could '"control la'>or," by bringing b<>th white and black Impecunious citizens to state of slavery Is al>o a mystery to] ?:*. Labor, in our opinion, should be controled by money and business principles. The: man who pays a fair price for labor seldom | lia* good reason to complain. Kind treatment and good wage4, gives the employer abKnlnio poniro! of bis hired man. and no law I an over enable the employer to compel n cheerful obedience from the servant who Is ill treated and poorlv paid. Repeal the lien law and destroy the poor man's credit, and IIve hundred white men of Abbeville county will be compelled to seel; homes elsewhere or become laborers for others who are tumble to pay u fair price for their services. The House of Representatives In the last General Assembly were very generous iu the! demands of the landlord to oppress the poor,] and wo believe that body grunted very nearly every request, but a wise and conservative jscnuto refused in concur In the omictment of! Those laws which apparently had lor iheir; purpose the oppression of the poor of both! races. If the general tenor of the last House i ol Representatives did not look in the direction ot the re-establishment of a form ofj Klavery for the poor ot both races, then we ) failed to understand the drift of the niean-l In?. Besides a stub al the poor man's credit, it was also proposed to establish a whipping post whereby vulgar people might be whipped by more vulgar ?nd barbarous ottlcers, but, be it sild to the credit of the House, that bill j did not pass. The whipping not only de grades the man that Is whipped, hut it degrades the people who are reduced to the necessity of a resort to the lowest form of punishment known to the human race, and which degrading punishment has been aban* tioned by nearly every self-respecting people on the face of the globe. Tlie .Midland Railroad. Within the last ttfo or three weeks much hits been written about the "-South Carolina Midland Railroad," which Is to run from Charleston to Greenville by way of Columbia, dewberry, and Laurens. The Idea oi the! Midland" seems to be to secure the graded! roud from Greenville to Laurens, as a part of! this great enterprise, on paper. While it is I not to be denied that such a road as is pro-j posed In the "Midland" charter would be ofj valu?to the up-country and to Charleston,' yet tve are not convinced th-it such an enter- i prise has any foundation In fact, or can ever; jret any substantial backing from Charleston. I With two good roads running from Columbia I r'hnrK??t(?n fli^ro popfnlnli* ran lii> n<i tie#* for a third one. With si good road tanning from Columbia to Greenville, there is certainly a slim prospect for stock holders to realize a dividend 0:1 a new road between these pjints, even if it is shorter and should cof>t less money. V.'e believe that we have read nearly all that has been said on the subject ot the new ! road, and we are now In great doubt as to the j earnestness of Charleston in the mutter. We j cannot believe that Charleston will, at acostj oJ millions, build a double track to (Jreen-1 ville so soon after refusing to give a pittance! to build a better and a more profitable road ; through Abbeville to Anderson. If Charles-J ton had been willing to give a pittance to the' enterprises the Augusta and Knoxville and' the Savannah Valley Railroads would have! poured their wealth of freights into the lap! of our own metropolis Instead of carting them I otr and yielding the proii's to the merchants' and business men of a neighboring city. In our opinion. It is not probable that; Charleston would expend money In an enter- J prise which ceitninly cannot yield a rc:urn . commensurate with the outlay, but even-ad-' niltUng that Charleston should conclude to' udd other millions to those which she has al-I ready lost in impracticable railroad enter-' prises, would the i.ew enterprise, hedged; about as it is by the Clyde's,grant the desired j relief? We do not believe that it would, and we are unalterably ol the opinion th:>t Green-: ville had better stick to the Georgia system, which is a tangible reality, and which will be! *ure to brln;; the comj ctition in freights, which is so essential to Greenville's prosperiiy. By accepting the otrer, or by making tortus with the Georgia system, they stand in no danger of being "bottled up." Greenville, It may be said, has a splendid road in sight. Will that live and progressive town be foolish enough to throw away a tangible reality* In the hope of a visionary scheme which can ??- ? not materialize. j Wo place the prediction on record:! llie "Carolina Jiiuianu win never oe i built, and If it is built It will never be worth Uie cost to either the people of Charleston. the people along the line, or Hie people lit Greenville. Let Greenville trade with the Georgia system fur the Ironing of the graded track to Lnurens, and then that city can go-! further and grade another lino to help out the ] ".Midland" enterprise, if she wants to. If the freight and passenger trains of the; Georgia system can be kept away from the corporate limits of the city <>f Greenville,' Charleston will have reason for self-congratulation. Quentton. A week or ?n a<;<i tin- A hbri illc PrcM and Tfanver a?Ve?l some m:cIi question as this: "Why ?!?? nut the rnlironils of Sutttli CarMinu make as 1"? rates for iminiicrnnts entering the State as lor emizniniA leav1?i* it r This is the answer : K<-r three years fust the Columbin awl Gre> nvlllc ami Charlotte.

What we asked was, "Why Is It ; tlmt transportation Is so cheap from South! Carolina to Arkansas, and so dear from Arkansas to South Carolina?" which question Is not answered in the above. Wo learn that tickets are sold from Greenwood to Little Itock, Arkansas, for ?17.00. If we are correctly informed that seems pretty cheap, and while we do not know what the charge now Is, we are laboring under the impression that it nas not oeen a great wiiuc siucc mere wu? a great difference in tlie price of tickets between Uk" wo places. As some of our citizens liuve recently paid expenses both ways, between South Carolina and Arkansas, we hould be glad to hear from them. What say you. gentlemen ? Mr. Kpli Grlflin nii^ht also tell us if we are n;i>Mken as to the expense of Koir.g to Texas and returning to South Carolina. We shall be glad to be set right, and will note the fact at any time when we receive the information. We have no desire to Uo any j wrong in the matter. ? It is evident that ihe railroads are doing ef-1 fecthc work in depopulating thocountry,and ' that they have r? -ponded to all suggestions' looking to that un-leslrable end, but if they j will bring our citizens back at as low u price! as they take them oir \va presume we have j lltfln ritrlil to i-n!tiiili I n. TI'.P JVfjj cud flan-* >wr can stand tlie departure of cur laborers, | if the farmers and railroads can stand it. We: nre all in tlie same beat, and we only called attention to what wc believed to bo a great Injury to the material prosperity ol the State. Some of those who claim to be uioro advanced in their ideas than those who are! more conservative in their views, are great] advocates for the imj?ortatioa of a foreign and i alien element, at public espouse, but we pre-j fer to hold on to the native born citizen, whether lie is white 01 black. For this reason i we believe any response to any suggestions looking to the encouragement of emigration from our borders as a positive injury to the public welfare of South Carolina. The l eg-1 lslntcre of the Slate shoi.hi intervene to prevent the depopulation of our State by any such a process, as tempting railroad fares to distant States. Our self-preservation demand* a protest against tlie hauling oil' of; our laboreis, at the suggestions of agents who may hold out delusive hopes and cheap transportation sis inducements to our people to leavv Ibeir ottit homes to go, tin y l*uow not \j iitfc." / / ^ IIIIW ?ll 1*1 ! MM ??? IIIMiiH^I lllirilf " r The Evil Mloe^or Cheiip Transportn? lion, and Delusive Hopes. A gentleman from (jreetiwood said to us ' one ilny lust week that five hundred acres of; 5 ti!)able lain! would bo lefl unworked this year : I boeause of the exodus of laborers. It is quiie 1 probable that even the blindest of the blind r may eventually liiid out that our lands are In valuable in proportion to the amount of labor I * that is left In the country?and, that for every j negro that we run of)', one mule is lefl In our is stables and twenty-flve acres of our land is!" left uncultivated and unprofitable. Eneh of j1 the several hundred negro men that have left |e these parts of the country, paid a rental of Is two bags of cotton to some landowner, or else | " he helped the landowner tnnke a crop Inlwhlch he was more profitable to the landlord n than if lie had rented his lan<l. Very wise and very far-seeing people mny s see the advantage resultlne from a thinning * out of the negro population, but we confess * that our vision is not sutllciently clear to see ' it. 1 On the other hand, we can but pity thedeIuiled eriature who Is entleeil away Irom tlie ^ JillHI OI MIS uirwi, n> mth in> i... . unknown region, where disappointment, as to the realization of his most reasonable L hopes, is sure to overtake him. Many of those j, who go olT, will go to sickly loeallt les which I, the laborers of the sections to which they j may land, avoid as they would sure death. | Whether a man Is white or black, lie should | lie slow to leave the place of his nativity after j lie has reached the meridian of life. As It is | difficult to transplant a large-grown lice, so is j it difficult for an old man to leave the friends ' I and association of his youth. In going to new j countries, we arc unacquainted with tlie | mode of culture, and are strangers to the j thousand and one difficulties that are sure to j be met with at every turn. | If the discontented laborers of the country, who are dissatisfied because they do not nccuI mutate money, will heed the Press and linnj iter in one particular, we think tliey will here- 1 ! after have less reason for that uneasiness and ' ' unrc>t which Is begotten of a lack of j thrift. More depends upon a Judicious spendj ing of time and money than upon anything els<\ Too many of our people spend so much 11 | time in idleness- thet they cannot reasonably I < I expect a large yield of profits from the farm. ' For instance: No business in the world can I' prosper which is suspended every Saturday nud Sunday In the busiest seasons of the year and which is totally suspended except as to \ the daily expenses from the tlrst of November i t until the first of the next March. i Abbeville itn<l Verilerj- or Abbeville \ niul Anywhere Else. Our people have been greatly disappointed at the failure of our Representatives to get the charter for a new railroad which would give us ftn outlet to Greenwood, Verdery or to some point on thesavantian vancy KHiiroan. Public opinion seems to he solid as to the necessity of an outlet, or a competing line with tlie existing road. At first, the two I points to which we looked were Verdery and ; Greenwood?u majority preferring Verdery? , but of late the propriety of running a road in i the direction of Klberton until it crosses the |' Savannah Valley road hns received consider- j J ation. If we could make arrangements with j I the Georgia system to iron and equip a road I from Abbeville to Klberton It Is thought such | j a plan would work more advantageously to j ( the whole public, and to tho railroad, j" than any line vet proposed. Klberton would , uo doubt Join us in the expense of grading a < a line of road to the river. A road thus built from Abbeville would secure competition in | freights to Abbeville and Klberton alike, and t the new outlet to business would no doubt be J profitable to the railroad companies. ? Even if the Georgia system would not go t luto the arrangement or ironing and equip- * ping a road from Abbeville to Klberton, we believe that better arrangements for our t Greenwood friends could be made with the j Clydes. They already have a road from r Greenwood to Abbeville, and by building a cor.ncctinglink between Abbeville and El- jj berton the t'lydcs would have a direct line \ from Greenwood to Atlanta. Let the trains start out from Greenwood coming by Hodges, * Abbeville, Klberton, and to the Junction of r the Klberton branch with the main line, and f a splendid and profitable business could be * built up. The train leaving Greenwood in t the morning could run to the Junction of the t PlhArrnn llnp u-itli (hp mnln lino unit return ^ the same day, which would save to the railroad company the exj>ense of tho train now on the Klbcrton Branch. By this arrangement u road of seventy miles in length ciuld be run at half the expense of engines aud coaches, J and employees, that two short branches are now run. Let our Greenwood friends think of this. Farm Hint*. We presume we would not misstate an nc- . tual fact. If wo were to say that there are in ' Abbeville county many laborers and farm hands who have not done a day's work on their farms within the last eight or ten weeks, and wc know certainly of an instunce where such persons actually refused to cut and haul the year's supply of wood, though Iho landowner gave the wood and offered the free use , of hits team and wagon. The excuse for this refusal being that they did not care to work until after they begun to draw rations from the stoics. If such persons would cut and haul the year's supply ot wood, and give constant and careful attention to the savingol manures these two Items alone would be a wonderful help. By cutting and hauling wood at a time when nothing can be done towards making a crop, much valuable time is saved in the spring when the hu.ry of planting and working a crop Is on them. By careful attention, manures can be saved which are freatly supe rlor to the commercial fertilizers which we ( buy lrorn the s'ores, and for which the best i and choicest fruits of the crop are necessarily mortgaged because of our neglect to provide J against the contingency during the winter t months. [ Huudrcds of farmers are great losers from , their failure to fence the waste lands which l can always be found on every large farm. A pasture is valuable to stock, even If it ha nothing else than good shadeand good water. With a good pasture?or even a poor one, If a j good one cannot he had?a few milk cows , would be Invaluable, and the porker Is not to I be despised. Between now and corn planting j time we have six weeks of spare time, and it j | is earnestly hojwd that every farmer may em- J; i ploy that time protitably hi Increasing the 1 ! acreage of his pastures. The exodus of the j j laborers will compel us to return to the old | , plr.n of utilizing the grazing lands, which can !? I be Hone by a reasonable effort. A land which j j I is as rich in crasses as out own should raise It* | own stock of every kind. * 1 * ( Pardoned.

(Augusta Chronicle.) Yesterday morning quite a sensation was created n the cit.v by a notice on tho door of the Bank of which re:.d : "Closed by order of tin- Board >f Directors." The news was goon the subject of liscussion oil tlie street Corneis an.l in c>.tinting ooms, and minors were niiinerous and varied* it was learned thut nn assignment Imd been made n which the depositors were preferred, and as t was elulm.d the amount realized on as i ts would 'lillv cover the ninonnl or drjMiMls, the fears, of Ue ositois were considerably allayed. The Bradstreet Agency Informed tho Chronicle .lint in a report of December 17th, they bnd stated hat thi re was uneasiness among the stockholder* md depositors of the bunk, and that a ch tngo of ifllcers w?? expected In January. Also that a lance imount of tbe as;ets of the institution were (iuubtnl. It will thus be seen that wlille the assignment was i snrpi ise to ihe general public It was not tinexjie^ed n commercial circles. Indeed one skilled financier old the Chronicle that knowing it had to come, be loped It would have been over several week ago, so is to have been numbered amout: the troubles of 1S54 ind not stand as a blot upon the commercial pnge of he new year. There is no cause for excitement tnonc parties having deposits in our banks and there rill be none. As will be seen by tho statement of the affairs of he Bank of Augusta its business wag very miiuII ami he total deposits did not reach $35,000. Of these tone exceeded $1,000. and the failure <>( the bank docs li t involve any of our business houses. The bank was a State I nnlt chaitercd many years go.

Harper >t Brn., he asMgness, and in response to a question m? to the :ause of the suspension, they replied: "To state the natter In it nutshell the failure was caused by the ntire exhaustion of the catdtal stock. The capital ock was1150.000; President W. jj. Roberts. had lorrowed $20,000 and Mr. A.?!. Twiggs, President of he Geoigetown and Lane* Kailroud had borrowed I130,CMHJ; that as collateral the banK held $250,000 of Kinds of the Georgetown and Lanes lUllru.nl ot S'outh Carolina, upon which thev were unable to realize, and hey had nothing upr.n which to proceed." Jt appears that Oapr. A. J. Twiggs, President of the Jeorgetown and f.an>s Railroad, was also the conractor of the road, and that as he built it he was Hid in the bonds and stock of the ro d, which he in urn placed as collateral with the Bank of Augusta, md up?n which ibey advanced him money to build he road. This was "continued until the bank bad 1890,<4)0 of the bonds of the ro?d upon which it had dvanced $180,000. The bonds arc secured by a nortgage on the road. On the completion of the road t was sold subject t > the mortgage and bought by President Twiggs for $50. Thus it will be Been that he bank, through President Twiggs, built the road nd virtually owns it. T be road is 40 miles long, rhere were >525,000 worth of bonds issued on the oad und as stated above, the hank holds $250,010 of hem. It scorns that tho bank did not have enough money o rcsnond to the call from Mr. Twiggs, so it selected he very host notes which it hid on discount (amountup to t79.-**5 05 <>f the $*247/94 33 In the table below), nd?rsed them un?l forwarded them to the Bank ol' <ew York, which re-dlscountcil tbem. This money bus procured wi* part of that furnished President ["wigps. In i><b'Ilion to th"f, the Bank of Augusta ar^ely overdrew its account with the Bank of New foik. The latter called for n sctlletneDt, and received he reply that the Bank of Augusta was amply secured by bonds of the Georgetown and Lnnes I tail read, ['he Bank of New Y<<rk thereupon responded 'hat us hey were in effect advancinc the money to President I'wlgsfa. through the Uank of Aucusta tlley should iuve the Twffrip collaterals as a security lor the adonce. TheVinds were nccordiucly sent to New k'ork, aswell us a mortcsce on 100 mules belonging > Twipes, on which $2o.00<> had been tidvanccd.
