A Word to Turpentine Makers* I
The following udviefc of tho lion. I
' 1?. II. Hill to the cotton planters of |
! Georgia, is not applicahleto the people
of I lorry as cotton -planters. In truth
we plant too little cotton here; hut the j
advice is to turpentine makers in I lor
! ry what it was intended to ho to cotI
ton planters tii Georgia, and wo hope
I turpentine makers will Apply it to
their own individua! cases, .lust so
long as the turpentine maker has to
g<> in debt lor his meat, bread, clothing
ami many other things, all to be
paid for out of his turpentine to come,
just so long will he grow poorer every
year; but il lie makes his own provisions
and supplies, then what turpentine
he makes will be clear cash; hut
j so long as turpentine has to pay for
1 all he only handles his creditor's inonney,
and not his own:
The True Policy of the Southern Planter.
A people who will not see their
danger, are not apt to provide for their
safety; and people who prefer flattery
to the truth will not be apt to see
their danger. They will pass on like
the lool and be punished. We have
certainly been heavily punished, and
the days of our sorrow, I tear, are not
yet numbered. I was raised on a
farm. Agriculture has been a passion
with me. I have followed it to my |
cost* 1 know more about it than you )
I imagine, and 1 have paid more lor my
information than, perhaps, any other
man in t he St ate.
All wealth comes primarily train
the ground. This is God's decree.
Science, skill and art may improve,
refine and add to t ho value of that
which is produced from the earth, hut
the producer is the origin ?the primary
source?ol all the wealth ol this
world, and no man could live, much
j less grow rich, hut for the tanner.
Ami yil, as a class, l he agricultural
population is the poorest in all the
j couiiliies. Wealth-?money?aecumula'is
in the hands ot ail trades, more
; largely than in those ot the producer,
is iv not strange that those who produce
all wealth should 1 >e the poorest ol
all j enple? Why is it ih.at tanners work
hard and keep poor, and nearly all
trades that handle their products grow
rich? How does it happen so? Jiecause
the m< reliant and the manutac- |
turcr take direct and personal interest 1
in legislation, ami make it their business
to stud}', to understand, and to
shape ami direct the legislation of the
country. The farmer looks at l'rovi;
deuce for rain to produce his crops.
j and vrhcn the rain comes lie is content;
j while the trader looks to Congress lor
| laws lo make his profits, and, iti some
I for in or other, he is sure to get the
j laws and reap the profits.
I I wish i had time to show you how
all the commercial, manufacturing
and speculating woild have formed
i their schemes, shaped the laws, and
I united in harmonious shrewdness to
I gather the profits of cotton planting
in the South.
I tell you to-day 1 care not what
seasons may come, what large crops
you may raise; still, under existing
i conditions, you will ever grow poorer j
i who produce cotton, and they will ever
grow richer who handle alter it is
j produced. I
Under the present policy, the next
generation of Southern people will become
the poorest, the most powerless,
and the most contemptible of earth's
inhabitants; while under a wise policy,
the next generation of Southern people
may become the richest, the most
powerful and the most rosnnet<><l ..t
peoples. Which destiny will wo
choose?
J>ut, yon ask, how can this belter
destiny be secured? I will tell you.
First?Make cotton your surplus crop!
In these' live words lay the Samson
locks ot your tuiure power. Make
your own fertilizers by resting, cropping,
grassing and nyinuring your
lands. Thus you become independent
of the guano merchants, liaise
your own provisions. Thus you be
come independodnt of the provision
merchants. Your cheapest and safest
line of transportation runs Iroin your
own fields and hog-pens to your own
* barns and meat bouses! With no
debts for your supplies, you will need
no accommodation credits at two per
cent, per month. Thus you become
independent of brokers, cotton factors
and lien merchants. You can then
sell your cotton at your own time, to
! your own chosen buyers, and will get
your own money. None ot these
{ things can a cotton planter do who
i plants on credit, and bonows money
to buy 1 lis provisions.
| But, you say, the Western States
: raise provisions so much cheaner. we
i can make more money hy rawing cotton
and buying from tliem. '1 Ins is
the teaching ol figures, and a greater
lie was never taught.
Now, I aflirm it is cheaper for you
to raise your own provisions, than to
have them brought from the West,
and given to you at the nearest depot
free ol'cost and charges! How is this?
In the lirst place, il' we raise live mil

WAYIH)K(), S. C., TU
lions of bales of cotton, we will get !
no mole money lor tliem than we j
woukl get for one half that number.
Then out ol the same amount reali/.etl, j
. ... / a i - i! : I i!
you pay tor raising uie live minion*
just double cost ot production! Hal!
the labor and supplies employed in
raising supplies without reducing the
| value ot the cotton crop one dollar.
, liut luill this labor would raise more i
I than yeu needed for supplies. You j
could employ much more of it, also, |
i in enriching your lands, and improv- I
j ing your property in many ways. 1
, Then you would come to the end o(
the year with your cribs lull of corn,
your smokediouses full of meat, your
family mil of smiles, yourselves lull ,
of independence, and your pockets
full of money tor investments. And ;
how would you invest it? In cotton
factories on t ho waterfalls which (hull
has sent all through your country to
run spindles. This would make you
independent of Old and New England
both. Then, also, you would
make your own implements ot husbandry,
which would make you independent
of Pennsylvania foundries,
and Massachusetts workshops. In a
word, every imurovcmcnt would he
built u|> in your own country, ami all
tin? profit h of those improvements
would go ;nt.o your own pockets.
(!o on as you are now going, inak- j
ing cotton your chief crop, and slavery
is the doom ot' your children and j
your children's children forever! A
j people who depend on other people for
I food and clothing, are and must be.
j slaves.
Make cotton your surplus crop, and j
your wealth, independence and power
will multiply as surely as the years
increases.
Direct Taxes in the. Southern States.
An act of the United States Congress
passed in June, l.SG'J, providng
for the collection of direct taxes in the
Southern States operated so that, large
quantaties of land wore sold lorn l idle
in parts ot the South where the Federal
forces had a foothold. Much hardship
was thus inflicted upon lie; ow ners
ollhe lauds, many of ihrni being in
the Confederate lines at the time, and
unable to communicate with their families.
Congress passed an act on .June
8, 187'J, allowing all such persons two
years to redeem their lands upon payment
ot tlu; direct taxes assessed
against them and the eosis of the sale,
and also t he costs ot any improvements
which may have been made by the
purchasers. This time wiil now i?v.
|>ii*o in a few davts, :i11?! a largo number
of thu I;i:i?1 owners have found it impossible
10 raise the means to redeem
their lands. The Senate Committee
011 Trivale l^aiul Claims have therefore
recommended that the lime given them
be extended two years more.
Congress ought to extend the time,
as the parties have been iml??rt umile,
Tim direct tax on a people claiming
allegiance to another Government is
j hard. In a spirit of magnanimity the
taxes might ho remitted altogether
President hranf Solves tin? (Jreat Arkansas
Conundrum,
Washington, L>. C\, May 15.
Attorney-General Williams has
given an opinion in the Arkansas matter,
which was rc lev red to him by the
President. lie says it would he disastrous
to allow tin? possession of the
ollice to he drawn into a precedent.
There is not a State in the Cnion in
which that would not produce a conflict
and probable bloodshed. That
cannot he upheld or justified upon
any ground, and, in his opinion, Elixha
Maxtor should he recognized as
the lawful Executive of the ^tato of
Arkansas.
In accordance with this opinion the I
President to-day issued the following
i'UOCJ.AM\noN.
Whereas, certain turbulent and disorderly
persons pretending that Klislia
Baxter, the present executive of Arkansas,
was not elected, have combined
together with force and arms
to resist his authority as such executive
and the other authorities of said
State; and, whereas, the said Elisha
Baxter has been declared duly elected
by the General Assembly of the said
State, as provided in the constitution
thereof, and has for a long period
been exercising the. functions of said
oflieo, into which he was inducted according
to the constitution and laws

j United States ..hat t.ho United States
J shall protect every State in the Union,
on application of the 1 legislature or of
the executive, and when the Legislature
cannot he convened, against domestic
violence; and whereas, the said
Klisha Haxter, under section 4 of
i article 4 of the Constitution of the
U nited States and the laws passed in
pursuance thereof, has therefore made
application to rnc to protect the said
State and the citizens thereof against

'lite present wileot General C. L.
Anderson, Collector ol I'niled States'
I Kevenuc in the the 't hird District ol
South Carolina,fhas had more than
| lu-r share ol lite moiety ol human
j troubles allotted to women. Jn the
tiivt place, she has been three times
| mat tied. liut this is not all. She I
j has had two divorce suits to manage,
and now lias a third suit on hand.
She still lives, but in Jier papers eonij
plains d ialling health. It is unnecessary
to more than brielly recapitulate
I that portion of her history relating to
I her legal tribulations, as in their urn. i
I - vious
singes in the Courts they have
j already been given in lull in the Herald.
She married lirst Mr. Joseph < 1 irard, and
! Iroin hlin obtained her lirs>t divoreo
| and alimony ot $0 7'-\o0 a year. She
next married Mr. Thomas C. Shop!
hard, and from him obtained her second
divorce; but as Mr. >Shephavd was
I niue.li better oU* in th is world's goods
than her iornier husband, the Court
[ compelled him to pay as alimony
$.'{,000 a year. This second decree of
divorce was obtained in September, |
j 1871. Mr. JShephard paid tlie alimony
promptly until alter her marrying
General .Anderson, when, considering
that she was very well provided for
! pecuniarily, he invoked the Court to
I release hi in from further payment..
Having gone through all the preliminary
staires nossible in the lower!
CJ 1
; Courts, the cane finally reached scalerI
day the Supreme Court, general tcnu,
Judges Davis, Drady and Daniels
being on the bench, en an appeal from
Judge Donohue's decision refusing
any moditicatiou ol the decree as to
alimony. j
In arguing the case on behalf of
Mr. Sheplnwd it was first submitted
to the Gourt whether there is anything
in the law relative to divorces, or in i
the reason of the law, to compel one j
man to support another man's wife. |
It was also argued that provisions ol |
a final decree in respect to alimony I
are always within the power of the
[ Court to change, as the circumstances
ol the parties may change, that a
pecuniary or other marital alteration
of circumstances may render proper a
change in alimony; that the provisions
1 of the decree that the alimony be paid
! to plaintiff during her natural lite is
1 subject to the condition, unless otherI
wise ordered by the Gourt, that the
! principle of the law requiring a bus*
| hand to provide for the support of his
wile, who has obtained a divorce for
his fault, is based upon the moral-legal
duty of the husband to support
his wife; that when the moral and
legal duty of a husband to support
1 his divorced wife ceases the alimony
should cease; that when sue remarries
he ceases to owe her any duly as
husband, including tho duty of support;
that the plaintiff lias her option
either to retain her alimony or to
obtain a new husband; thUske cannot
have both; that she cannot enjoy the
society and protection of the third
husband at the expense ol the pocket

of the aceon !; that whether to lay
this $3,000 a year on the alter of her
thinl lover is for her to decide. It
was also stated that they were informed
that she was not so deeply in
love as not to take advice on the efVc't
ot a new hushand on the alimony
question. Ihinng the argument numerous
authorities were cited and
commented upon, including the Forest
divorce suit.
