He can make a living easier than in hi other state in the south, aad at the same tin enjoy a more equable climate. He can run a farm without a mortgage < it. The land is so cheap that one good cri would pay for the land. He cau raise tlner fruit, a greater varie and more of it thau In any other country the world. You can plant one acre in cine and mal 2<H) gallons of beautiml clear syrup, with i sorghum twang to il. The best rice In the world is the South Ci olina rice. Bees require no further attention than ta ing what honey you want. You can raise four tans of clover hay p acre, and ground does not have to be seedi but once in five years. Five tons 01 uerraau tuuici is uui > ...? j'ield for one acre. Wet land, sown in red top, forms au eve lasting meadow of the finest hay in the worl Three fourths of a bale of collou Is the av< age yield, though one and one-hall bales p acre Is not an uncommon crop.

'J There has never been a total failure of cro since the war, and but few partial ones. The cotton crop never fails. It is certain. WHY FARMERS SHOULD COME TO SOUTH CAROLINA. Because a poor man can set a home i cbeap as in any other state in the Uniou. Because the seasons are better than in at other state. Because the climate is so mild that stoc does not require much feed In winter. Because you can have a good garden almo the whole year round. Because you can raise stock cheaper tbs than in the north. Because you can grow crops with less iab< than In any other state. Because it is the best fruit state in tt Union. Because it is one of the most progressli Southern States. Because you can raise two crops of mac kinds of produce in one year. Because the same energy and labor tn; barely suffices to make a living in the nori will mukea man rlcli In Soutb Carolina. Because your duly to yourself and faml! demands that you go to a country where yot condition will be bettered. THE FARMERS' FARCE. Keaator nc(!*lltt Knotted Well l.nl Plans Out ou First Bnse. McCormick Times. State Senator McCalla, of Lowndesville, a tended the Cotlon Growers' Convention I Augusta last week, and a Times represent tlve had a pleasant talk with bim ou tl train as be was 011 bis way bome. Senator McCalla said the convention w, little better than a farce, because t-ucli a smii nuojuer UI WUUU ^luncio ncis lot of cotton buyers and machinery agen were In attendance, though, and took part i the proceedings aud helped to swell 11 ) crowd. The proceedings In conventions of this klc are generally oi the cut and dried order, ac nobody pays much attention to them. Seu tor McCalla, however. Is aiways wide awat a nd a close abserver, aud when he sees fbiuj going wrong about him he generally does h best to change them and set them right. U this occasion he Interfered with somebody plansand knocked them Kkj- high. A resolution was introduced calling on tt Legislatures 1? the different cotton growlti states to pass law* requirlug all cotton bait to be of unliorm size and shape, and the r solution would have gone through aocorditi to schedule if .Senator McCalla had not pr< fpRied. lie denounced tbe resolution In ui ineasured terms. He said he wan as much 1 lavor of uniform cotton bales as anybody, bi he was opposed to driving the farmers Into 1 If this law were passed, he said. It would pi the farmers of the south at the mercy of it machinery men, who would form a trust jui charge any price they saw tit for their cotto presses, etc. No convention of farmers, sal Senator McCalla, would pass auy such resi lutlon, and he hoped that this convention, a though very tew farmers were present, woul refuse to en dose it.. Those who were engineering the schetr saw they had made a mistake aud the re? lutiou was withdrawn and a substitute otic ed, requesting the manufacturers of colic presses 10co-operale so that uniform colM bales could be bad.

Washington Post. The Post hat had frequent occasion, in discussing tbe relations between the while and negro races iu this country, to speak of the deep affection, the mutual confidence, and "D i he sincere regard subsisting between the ?tJ Sluolrc ftf Ihp KOilth Hnfl tho flpcnonrlantu r\t uie old slave-ownine aristocracy. To this 10 Jay the colored people, from the Potomac aud the Ohio to the liulf, regard the typical .southern gentleman as the lluest specimen of human nature, and Irom the gentleman ol ir that class the colored people have reoeived ve only kindness, respect, lair dealing and material encouragement. The blacks have d- b^en persecuted iu the south?duriug the unps toward struggle of reconstruction?but uot by their former masters. They know this at themselves and nothing will ever weaken the lies that bind together in kindness and regard the two classes. at This has been The Post's proposition, based on intimate knowledge aud experience of the ol situation, and It pleased us, therefore, to see it conflrtned, the other day, by so dlstingutslied aud so representative a southerneras the Hon. (>. G. Vest, the eloquent Missouri in senator. Mr. Vest, in the course of a speech, 3 had occasion to refer to the Hon. 1J. K. Bruce, at once senator iromMisslssippi,and to the color- r^as ed people generally who hail at that time been victimized by the greed of others and their it- own credulity. Unsaid: er "How was It in regard to the Prcedman's x. er Bank building ? Mr. Bruco was then u seualie tor from Mississippi, a colored than, and the only one In the senate?a gentleman, an lionor to liis race, a m*n wtio I am proud toj call lie my friend. 1 was associated with him, our ^ committee rooms wore contiguous, aud I ?) lis kuew him well. lie appealed to me aud to ^ other southern senators to take the assets of en the old Kreedman's bank. all that were left -k to tliat poor, oppressed colored race, whom I ^ r.v know as well as any man living, and pay an them SiWKlO. all that the poor Ignorant de- , positors would ever get. Why, Mr. President, ?> who could have resisted that appeal. I would id. have paid, I confess, more than the property ry was worth under the circumstances that surround that case, but it was the best purchase to that this government ever made." iss This is the way a southern senator felt toi ward the colored people and thus he spoke of One of thtlr most distinguished reproseutaI lives. It is a typical case. So would have T i felt and spoken such southernors as Edward Jfe U.'arv Wbit' halt, M. ('. llutler. Wade liamp! ton, D. (j. C. Lamar. John W. Daniel, or any X j other of that class bad he been called upon M. I to discuss that or a similar question \. i in the United St-ites Senate at any time. So would speak aud ieel any Southern gentleI man of the highest class The negro's best >o- friend is the southern aristocrat.

Carlos J. Stolbrand contested the elec :8B tlon of Hon. D.Wyatt Aiken to Congress, Mr. lX" Gary reoresented Hon. D. Wyatt Aiken, in ^ whoee favor Congress declared the election. In Masonry the subject of this sketch was a bright and conspicuous figure, and the ar- > u' chives of the Grand Lodge contain many tea- -4 8r" tlmonlals of his handiwork.

Mr. Justice Gary married Miss Eliza Tasten, ~l a direct descendant from Hon. Benjamin Ta?* al' ten, member of tbe first Colonial Congress of New York, and whose son.

The ]?r scales, which are grayish or brownish and K* about one-sixth of au inch long, are found . on the bark'of the limbs and twigs. They are small, oblong, and much like an oyster shell 01 In thape. The eggs and scales are white In winter ana early spring. Just before hatcua lng, the eggs change toa yellowish color. The orange-yellow young were round batched here a crawling upon the bark May 8. Tliev leave the scales as soon as batched, and look for a suitable place to attach themselves. This found, they Insert their sharp beaks Into the bark and remain stationary, exuding from their bodies a waxy covering which in time forms a scale, under which they live and mature.
