"Dealt in futures, and he's dead broke," can be said 01 the financial demise of many a young man who fancied himself to be an embryo Pier pont Morgan. In 1875 there were only five negroes in the State asylum for the insane, while those admitted last year ex ceeded the number of whites. Why is this great increase? It is hardly attributable to fi nancial or domestic troubles -the fruitful sources of ment al aberration among the Cau casians-for the Afro-Ameri can is never happier than when he has not a dollar in his pocket or when his better half elopes with another man. All crops have been laid by and are rapidly making. The farmers, although discour aged over the outlook a few weeks ago, are now feeling . good. The damages result ing from the short drought have to a great extent been repaired by the latter rains. With a reasonably late fall, and favorable seasons con tinuing, an average crop will yet be made. And what gives a. roseate hue to the sit uation is the price of cotton. That cotton will decline in price as the new crop is mar keted is to be expected, yet in view of the existing condi tions-the scarcity of raw material and the steadily in creasing demand for cotton goods-it is quite certain that the producer as well as the -"^-spgLTrfat?i" mit itfgfee a gtit?r price therefor. THE SOUTH AND ITS DEVELOPMENT. Mr. M. V? Richards, the industrial agent of the South ern railroad and an excellent authority, in his address be fore the Horticultural con vention at Johnston on Wed nesday last, said : "I study every section of the country throughout the United States, and the South has a brighter future before it than any other section." Its resources are being exploited and talked of throughout the north, Cana da and Europe as never be . fore. To every one person who came South ten years ago there are one hundred coming today. Mr. Rich ards said that on the South ern railway alone 650 indus trial enterprises were estab lished last year and 800 this . year. See what is being done, also note the ratio of increase, along one railway system, and it is reasonable to suppose that the same prog ress is being made along oth er roads and throughout the entire South. Mr. Richards, who has closely studied conditions in the South, says that the time has come when unoccupied lands must be reclaimed by subdividing large farms and inducing a thrifty class of em igrants to settle among us. i As many southern white peo ple have abandoned making cotton to engage in its manu facture, others must be in duced to occupy the farms made vacant by their remov al to the towns and cities. In our county the white pop ulation could be doubled-in many sections quadrupled and the increase would be barely perceptible. The vast majority of land owners are land poor. They are paying taxes on too much and are endeavoring to cultivate too much land. Smaller areas more highly fertilized and more thorough ly cultivated would yield lar ger net returns. This change, along with diversified farm ing, made throughout the South would speed the bright day that is sure to come by and-by. MEETING STREET. Interesting Reminiscences of Former Days. (Contributed.; There is a pleasing sadn.?s<s in vis iting tbe old neignborbo(d of Meet* mg street up on little Stevens' Creek. What changes bave taken plac? The country is the same. There is the same old homestead with iong avenue of ti ees down the road, the store house with the long front piazza-yonder, across the gently flowing stream, is tbe big old church with the large ga bles aid white sides. Down at tbe creek the waters flow with the same dancing current in their mex ry Jjour ney to the sei-the woods and Heids stretch out in tie same lovely laud scape, all shimmering in the same bright sunlight-all over the neigh borhood are the same old homesteads and farms. But, truly, a change has come over the spirit of the times Where aie those grand old men and women whj vitalized those dear old spots? The talland dignified John S. Snar ly who once lived like a prince at the Meeting Street pla -it ion and nade the store the social center of the vicin ity ; the genial and vivacious Dr, Clint Tompkins, so full of jocular wit and pleasing conversation; the fat and wealthy She jmy Nicholson, with his well appointed home and bojutilul good cheer; the plain and honest B;n jamin Ouzts, with barns bursting open with plenty; the thrifty and pronper ? is Conrad Lowery, the awk ward.form of Lewis l:ean wi;hquiet but kindly face; the ruddy face of Archy Lewis, as he bustled about amid tbe cares of a large and flourishing fami ly; Dr. John Landrum, with specta cles ou bis p ofessional face and stu dious habits ol thought; Capt. J. Ii. Allen, with military carriage and handsome face, always courtly and manly; Capt. Bili Stevens, tbal hero of the lox chase, with his yard alive with well fed dogs and hospitable din iug room tilled with friendly guests, plenty to eat and drink for al!; Jos eph Adams, the quiet and patient gen tleman ever easy and kind m manner; the lean, bu: intellectual, face of Ran som Timinermau and his brother, Jes se' but both as honest and true as steel; Luke Culbreath, w th portly frame and sturdy air .if a thriving country gentleman; the qieenly face of Mrs Elizabeth Nicholson, whose presence inspired all that respect which comes from a good and true woman, and her noble children; Dr. John Lake, that grind old man who literally wore himself out. going over the county as a loving physician do ing deeds of mercy and charity ; Jim mie and Jacky Dorn,both industrious citizens embracing all the eleineuts of honesty; Tillman Padgett, with h.s earnest face and busiuess judgement always atten ive to-every duty; austere Jesfe Hart, never idle and bis grave face ever Ailed with the cares of his 1 farm; the amiable Henry Hart, who in 1 season or out of season could always come borne with a big string of fish; i Bill Harris, with deep voice and man ly tread, ever watchful of bis inter- : ests; John Quattlebaum, that stirring , character of rugged honesty; Simeon ? Cogburn, the soft easy man of so much , kindness of heart; good old John , Trapp, the country minister with a heart full of love to God and man, go- . mg from place to place, in rain or shine, marrying the young, burying the dead and preaching tbe precious ? word of God; Marshall and Elijah j Faulkner, both men of great worth. But time woull fail me to call all 1 their names. They are all written down io the Great Book wbere the . deeds of tbe just are recorded. These were Diam, blunt men, not given t,3aping mannerisms which de ceit calls politeness. Many of them were truly religious, but those who , were not did not act any of the parts of the hypocrite, but were what they seemed to be. If any of them drank . they did not sneak behind the door to . "tl?it ?bd ?o out wich the false cry of . the so-called prohibitionists. Very ; few of them ever drank to excess. These men weie not saints, but their very bones were saturated with the milk of human kindness. No real sufferer was ever turned away from their door, and the traveler always found a happy retreat when the shades of night warned bim to rest. Each of them was a man, every inch of him. Living as they did on their farms, drawing with strong i?rm the fruits of the field from the bosom of nature, they were truly independent. They hardly ever wandered away from home chasing the butterflies of glory along the bleak oath of politics. They never sat in pompous idleness aboi.t the too often hollow-hearted dig nitaries who are supposed to adorn the halls of fame. They were more than famous. They constituted the very foundations of greatness and made it possible for the eloquent statesman to point with pride to his prosperous country. Honest toilers in homespun simplicity, they abound ed in tnat home raised plenty taut was characteristic and made true prosperity. You could see down in the green pastures well fed herds, droves of pigs about the lot, flocks of sheep grazing on the hillsides, the barns were rilled with corn, wheat and oats. Tin ift painted the swelling bills in living gr^en, order and method ap peared in ali tbe well appointed ar rangements of Mie farm. When the war broke out they were ready toohey their country's call, and such noble boys as Elbert Ouzts, John Laudrum and Edward Mobley showed tneir neighbors bow beautiful ly they could die for that country they so well ?adored. No braver sol diers ever weat to battle than the men from about Meeting Street. None ev er did nobler service from Camp But ler to Appomattox. Alas! Most of tnem bave gone, "The breezy call of incense-breath lng morn, "The swallows twittering from the straw-built shed, "The cock's shrill clarion or, the echoing horn, "No more shall rouse them from their lowly bed." When we speak of these great men let us not forget their faithful wives and daughters-those ?loving matrons with tender hearts-who adorned the warm and cheerful firesides. Wbere could you Andmore virtuous, christian women? Truly, we can say, "Her price was far above rubies, tbe heart of her husband could truly trust in ber, she did bim good and not evil all the days of her life, she sjught wool ane Aax and worked diligently with her hauds, she arose while it was yet night and gaveth meal u .to her house hold." These good people, too, have made the soil of that section sacred by rest ing in its consecrated bosom. Let us cherish and revere their memory. Let their worthy example ever remind us that we should scorn the wrong. Th**86 women acted well tueir part in time of peace, but when th j clouds of war hovered over our laud they rose to the occasion, by doing the many things which only a woman can do, and besides, attended to the duties of aman on the farm all the while with h-art quivering with sad forebodings as to tbe rews of her loved ones far away on the field of battle. Let us keep their precious graves green with the shrubbery of fond recollection. No taint of ignominy pervades the at mosphere of th?-ir sacred gi aves. There they lie in their lowly beds of honor, beneath the rugged oaks and sighing pines. If their posterity do not live noble lives and lill honorable graves it will not be because their an cestors failed to set them the proper example. The country is filled with books giv-l ing the life of what we call great men A noted statesman or eminent divine m is hardly cold in his costly grave be f?te the swarm of book agents are dis turbing the country with cut and dried speech in praise of the dead man. But while so ?much is bein? said, much for filthy lucre, in behalf of public men let us not forget the useful deeds of the unpretentious toil ets who constitute the country. Much has been said of late, most prop erly too, about our dear old Wade Hampton. But what could Hampton have done either in the war of the six ties or the redemption of 76 without such men as old Capt. Bill Stevens and Jim Allen to lead the rank and file? The twentieth century may boast of her many achievements, but no j type of true men or virtuous women can be produced in any country or any age than those good old folk whose tracks we? e to be seen i m beded in the fields and gardens about Meet ing Street. These gocd people were, as a rule, large of frame, dtep chested, and capable of great endurance, coup led with good business judgement and honesty. ls there not some danger that our] present fast age is improving every thing else at the expense of manhood? Is noe the so-called Christian civiliz ation and complicated machinery dwarfing the bodies, freezing the spir its, crushing the nerves and minds of( men and women? 1 was talking"?.some time ago to an old lady who lived near Meeting Street before the time of cooking stoves,sewing machines and such like. She said when she was a young woman just married sbe got up before day every morning, milked the cows, cook ed on an open fire place, weaved her own el >t i o if a loom, carded and spun the filling to go in it, cut and made all clothes for the eyer increas ing family, without any sewing ma chines, made all her own soap and can dles aud usually had a baby to nurse besides. Now, with ready made clothes, cooking sio\es and sewing) machines, steam driven looms and spindles, our women cannot endure what these did. This good old lady was not hurt by all this work as she is still ali ve and in her seventies. But times have changed. This sturdy old stock is of the kind to be proud of They lived useful lives. They did well in life and when the final summons came they received from a smiling heaven, the ,4well done," ol a loving God. Report of tiruud Jury. To His Honor, Judye D. A.

We find all of the County offices properly bonded and that the C >urt House aud Jail buildings are insur ed. The Court House roof and rear end are still in bad condition and should be repaired at once. W? find that our Couuty is paying about$230 00 auuually toroffiee rent and after careful investigation we figure that the County can build the necessary offices aud Vaults for Clerk? Records at about $1409. The office rent now being paid should pay this, with the interest, ia ten years, when this expense would for ever stop. ITe recommend that such building suitable for necessary offices with Vault for Clerks Re cords be erected either in rear of Court liouse extending said Ciurl House on South side of Court House in front of Jail in the discre tion of the County Board of Super visor's, the Clerk of Courtaud Audi tor. There is an ample supply of brick and stone in the somewhat delapidated brick wall now arouud the Jail, and we recommend that this wail be used in the construc tion of this building and if necessa ry a cheaper feuc? bj put in its place.
