It is one of the most favorable signs of the times that the Southern people are devoting themselves with assiduity to the cultivation of their farms, \ and to the advancement of their ma% . . N terial interests, while devoting less tuition to politics than heretofore. This is in the highest degree sensible. - *=*?>- - - ?-- fliwnu,?man JUiU 8S*foj thnt tViin id >-??* SNuitC care nothing about the South except fio far as she can be used towards keeping in power one or the other of the great political parties of the country. The Republicans openly confess this, and prove it daily by their falsehoods about this section, and their cool indifference to our welfare. The Democracy of the North profess friendship for us, and, as a general rule, show a desire to guard and protect our interests in common with the interests of every section of the Union. Still, at the last Presidential election it was due solely to the course of socalled Democrats of New York?Boss Kelly and others?that the country was again tmiied over for another four years to the tender mercies of Radicalism, regardless of the fact that section is the special object of the hate and malignity of the Radical party. Most emphatically on that *>ccasion was the Sonth sorely wounded in the honse of her friends. It is evident, therefore, that while the South remains in poverty as com?pared with the North?to which the "War was a blessing as great as it was a most serious disaster to the South? she can hope for nothing in the polit- j ical world beyond being a hewer of! wood or drawer of water. In cases \ where her interest happens to be i identical with those of the North, such as the improvement of the Mississippi River, for instance, she will receive some consideration. Whenever, though, the North can derive no benefit from any measure in which the South is interested, it may be ac- j cepted as a certainty that such meas-' lire will be treated with no respect.; But let the South once accumulate j wealth, let her people once more be-: come prosperous, and all this will be ; changed. Then, as in the days before the war, will our section com- j . " maud the homage of the wealth wor shiping country; and then, and then j only, will sbe become truly independ-, ent, and her ancient political prestage ' be restored. Let the Southern peo-11 pie then pay sufficient attention to : National politics to enable them to j' understand the political status of affairs, for this is necessary for self- j! * V fy >rot-ection. Let tbem also keep up a n ively interest in domestic political fi iffairs, so as to secure at all times jood home rule, and the best men for' I he various offices of the State. But n vhen this is done, all that is neces-, fi jary is done, and politics should j -hereafter be emphatically regulated ; r ;o the back ground. An acre of land ; t well tilled will be found of more real, j c practical and substantial benefit to i b the South than all the politics in the jountry can confer. "If the Southern ; ? people will devote themselves to the advancement of their material welfare , r at the expense of politics, they will never regret it. That the Sonth pos-1? sesses within herself pre-eminently all J the elements of wealth and prosperity j has been abundantly proven. Never, ? in the history of the world, has any ? section or any people recuperated so rapidly. Devastated by war, her so-! cial condition all changed, her labor I system thrown into chaos and confu- ' sion, having been, after the conflict, l i despoiled and robbed by political ( vampires, who ardently desired to I suck what little of life-blood was left 1 her, and besides all this, having for ' years been subjected to flagrant injustice, grinding tyranny, base false- < hood and cruel oppression, she has, : nevertheless, not only survived, but is now once more on the high road to wealth and happiness. No other sec- i tion in the country could have recuperated or overcome such apparently ? .-ii lnsurojouniauie uusmeiea nim^ouj-| thing like such rapidity. Let herj people then make the future prosper-1 ity of their section the prime object! of their thoughts and labors, and true independence, universal respect, political power and influence, all things j desirable for her true glory will be !secured. " Sunday afternoon while cattle were being driven into the Penitentiary Eve convicts made a break through the gate and ran in amoung the cattle. The guard immediately fired at them and wounded Henry Gibson, from Edgefield, anfa recaptured him. They also recaptured Pleasant Miller, from Abbeville, and Jerry Voigbt, from Orangeburg. The two others, Parks Cooper, from York, and Henry Davis, from Anderson, swam to an island in the river and are supposed to be there still uulees drowned. They are both naked! having left thoir nW'\? bank?- Guards are stationed so a? to preventjti****" . *-.-o ttie ri v?r, -P-A41 of the five are sentenced to imprisonment for life, except Gibson, whose sentence was for ten years. He is so badly shot that the surgeon thinks he will die. Those who were recaptured confessed that the plot to escape was made that day. The Abbeville Press and Banner says: The oat crop was the largest and best ever grown in Abbeville county. It has been wefully housed, and maoy plauters are busily engaged in making way with the crop. But there are many thousand bushels yet in our barns. In addition to this, the area in corn is double that of any previous year, and the crop is as good as the rains and the land can make. Nearly every farmer will have more graiu than he can destroy. The Cotton crop promises to be the best that we have ever had. The planters are certainly blessed this year to an extent that will puzzle them as to the j; best means of disposing of their crops. The corn crop will be enormous in i this section, unless cut off by some 1 unexpected calamity. We learn that ' in Anderson it is thought that corn j ] will not command more than forty j i cents, while it is said that it will not j j be worth more than from fifty to | ( seventy-five cents in A,bbeville. i Meeting of the Executive Committee.
