This shows tha one they pay too much for their whistle that the cost of production is to Ian great. C4ton is, and is desti ed t r remain, our staple produc o m money crop ;' and thepresent price ibis. are likely to be the future prices onf, for while the price fluctuates, n add reasonable person thinks that it wil hred ever stand far above ten cents. Th t only remedy left to the farmers, ii view of these circumstances, is to dE the crease the cost of production-t in make the greatest possible yield a la the least possible expense. We bE Did lieve that this can be done, and w ,e feel that it will be done. The onl; 6 question is as to the means. :ex Much can be gained by- sowin ro more small grain. The favorabl l effects of the splendid grain crop he of last year, were seen and fel a throughout the State; and whil l. we cannot -as a rule, compete wit e in other sections in the production c W grain for market, we can produc the enough for home consumption, wit atn, perhaps a surplus to exchange fc lng ready money at a season when it i = highly important to procure far mee supplies at cash prices. The e3 d s- perience of 1882, is sufficient pro bo of the soundness of this opinion. was Again, . the cost of productio j may be lessened by the use of laboi fred saving machinery. One of . th * ,. AampaiatiyeJ4 agM)aadat rany of our people can now laugh at this difB-culty; they have realized Sthast by means of improveed ma e linery, one man can do the work formerly done by three or four men, anid they are fast turning their backs o oni old methods of reaping, thresh ilug, ginning, and preparing the soil. 'lThe number of agricultural ma rchlines bought in our County within the last year, shows the favorable Sli ght in which this matter in-viewed ; I anrd it is hoped that our farmers awil 1resort to the use of labor-saving rmachinery wherever the nature of I th e land will permit it. SBut the weightiest- consideration that demandake attention of the cot on producer, is the importance of raising his own farm supplies, and of being less'- dependent upon foreign markets. In simpler words, we should learn to "live at home." In former years, the prices of cot ton and bacon stood near together; and a pound of cotton was practi cally a legal tender for a pound of bacon. Now the price of bacon is double that of cotton, while other farm supplies are proportionately dear; aud the tendency of the cotton price is downward. As our people cannot wisely resolve to eat no ba con, they must resolve to raise their own "hog and hominy."' This they are not doing. in our State, last year, there was a decrease in the number of sheep and cattle and a decrease of 11 per in the number of stock Farmers cannot afford to let of cotton,, and the number and cattle, go down together. the man who pays high prices for his labor and provisions, while he is forced to accept low prices for his produce, cannot expect to win,1 and hardly deserves to win, in the1 fight for paying profits. In another matter many of our producers are not altogether mindful of their best interests. During 1882, 10 per cent. less commercial fertilizers were bought in the State, than in 1881; and 25 per cent, of the crops of 188-2, were fertilized with home-made. compost. This is a favorable showing, but we have not gone far enough. Cotton seed, pea vines, stable and barnyard ma nure, and home-made composts are C the cheapest and best fertilizers in C the world; and they are..within the E reach of all. The farmer who a finds fault with the price of cotton, should make his own fertilizers and improve his methods of cultivation, t so as todecreaseteacreage while the yield remains unchanged. The man who. by proper ultivatin,..r To say that the citizens of New berry have not done their duty, is not enough; or rather it is-too much, for it is incorrect. They erected the college here; they have more than $15,000 invested in the college building; and they have not withheld their patronage, al though in patronizing the college they cut themselves off from any benefit that may be- derived from the public school fund. They have done well; others, worse. These colleges are hardy plants; they are tenacious of life and it is almost im possible" to kill them; but the amount of their vital energy and the degree of their prosperity must depend -upon the church, and the denominations may as well begin to work in the light of this truth. The Anderson Intelligencer says -The railroad from here to Wal halla does not make much better time than can be made by horses; in fact, at times they run so slow that passengers can. get out and walk for a hundred yards at a time, - keeping up with the train all the way. It has actually been done. Things might be worse, brother Intelligencer. It is said tiat a con- e ductor on the Laurens road, several years ago, had compassion on a cripple who was walking by the as sistance of crutches, and asked him to ride; but the cripple, kindly I thanking him, said that he preferred to walk as he was in a hurry ! 01 A petition to the County Com missioners of Spartanburg County a is being signed in Spartanburg ask ing them not to issue the bonds voted to the Greenwood, Laurens and Spartanburg Railroad until it - is certainly known whether the l Virginia Midland Road will extend l its lines to Spartanburg. The News and Courier is happy t over the discovery that the number .e of weddings in South Carolina has increased in a ratio far greater than the yield of the corn and oat crops. What next?

We feel that our public sch' 1 system. is 'defective; least, in ts workings; and we feel tev; 'he success of the system must largily depend upon the public schopl teachers. The State, in order to secure fitness in the school-rooan, subjects the applicant to an exani nation which is intended to test his a qualifications as a teacher. ot these examinations merely shlow t that the successful applicant had a ve memory; whathey, fai{ to a show, is whether the"sccessfnl: p plicaats in any sense, qualili to > teach school. The first grad1ex 2 amination embraces some tqrty r miscellaneous questions on hist4ry, 3 geography, arithmetic, granamar 4nd spelling. The gentleman who,pe > pared the list asked question alter I question without seeming to kgow a that he was not examining school i boys, until he reached "arithmetic"; at that point, he rose to theim > portance of the occasion and said : t "Explain the op&ation of diviing one fraction by another; as 'ou a would to a pupil." Now, while we y admit that this is the most intel ligent question in the list, we do y most positively deny that a bian e knows every thing that is worth s knowing about school teacling, t merely because he can "explain the e operation of dividing one fraction a by another as he would to a pupil." f Excepting the question just giyen, e the examination contains not.one h question relating to methods' of r teaching; not one relating to sc ool s government and school discipine; a not one that appeals to any other mental faculty than memory;, not f one, in any way, relating to the busi ness of teaching; and not one that a would lead a person to suppose that it was intended for teachers ! e Our teachers may be capable; and we --do not mean to deny that hey in the mouth of a duck . ese examinations fail to p$ve that theya a -e not in ouir schools, as teach4rs. We know that it is useliss to criticise what there is no hope of. reforming; but it is not possible to to have good sdhools, unless we have good teachers,-and on this line, we propose to make the fight for bet ter schools. Denaominational 4olIlegW. "What must we do to be sa%d?" is a question that has pe.rsi.ste&itly forced itself upon our Denordiina tional Colleges; and it s not;fnd I an answer in the re-o 'ngothe State UJnivei-sity and Citade4 ca-' demy. The' question has addre(sed itself to the wisdom of our phur(es; y it now confrontl tf\e trusteesend I directors of our* colleges, anj it does not grow Ie.ss troublesome ps it grows older. No man in his right senses, yrill deny the importance of %g >rk done by these colleges, or 4ke himself blind to the truth that e satisfy a femnand which canni be supplied by State institu4s. The college-bred men of this n eration wore with comparatily few exceptions, trained in dent ni national schools. During the troub lous years in which we had no State institutions, because we laad no State government, our Dendni national Colleges worked on, hored an, and proved that the Church ''1l iave inistitutions of learning, wit aver course the government4y Sfit to pursue. The instructors these institutions are men wh$~se moral worth adorna their learning -men who have devoted tfleir ives and talents to the trainin4of ;he young because they feel that he young should be trained; and hey deserve confidence and ae ~ess. But, to the question. Primarily, a Denominational Cci ege must look for support, to t ~hurch wvhose name it bears. Th~, nstitutions have divided the sch$ol >ublic, and each will demande dd of its own sympathizers.
