Ulla will long bo remembered as an ago of material and moral progress. Tbo spirit of enterprise ia abroad in tbo land and its in? fluonoo is soon on every liai; J. Not only is ?Boro attention given to the comforts of homo and tho family, but improvements iu agri culture have made rapid progress ia tho past ton years, increasing our crops, improving Our lands and agricultural implements, limit ing labor moro effootual in production. Tho ?loso of the war found us poor in rosourcos and broken inspirit, and ns the road from poverty to wealth with individuals is ruggod and diffioult at first and grows moro easy, .o with communities and States. In the ?hort period of human lifeoo indi vidual cnn riso from poverty to actual wealth, unless by some reiky and fortunato speculation, and whenever H happens in suoh cases, tho individual is enriched at tho expenso of his fellows. Labor is capital and oapital is wealth, nnd hence labor is wealth. Labor, howovor, cannot croate woalth in tho legitimate walks of production in a singlo goneration, but wealth thus obtained is tho accumulated pro* daots of tho labor of scvoral generations. Wealth obtained by speculation is but tho transfer of existing values from man to man, bat whon acquired by labor it is its creation and is un addition to tho general wealth. It is the general rule that a person spends a large half of his manhood in getting a start, that is, in laying by a few thousand dollars, but whon this is accomplished tho road to woalth is easier, many avenues of making monoy hoing open to tho moncyholder not accessible before. Tho same is truo wf com munitios. A country starting poor requires years of industry and economy beforo activ? progress begins, but whon onco tho country begins to hold a surplus of money ovor tho Wants of tho pooplo, enterprises beforo con sidorod cutoplan become real nod of easy attainraout. For years our wotor powers, a great source of wealth in tho Enstorn States, have been singing an id lo lullaby to the for ests they traversed; our timber of overy vari ety and valuo has stood silent sentinels of the changing seasons, and our mineral ro aourcoss, which may bo valuable, havo lain hidden in tho secret chambers of tho earth. We have froquontly given thom a passing thought, realizing at tho timo there was not yot enough of capital in tho country to prompt any active steps towards their dovelopmont and utilization. This is giving place to a now ordor of things. Our productions arc annually increasing. Monoy is accumulat ing in tho country, and it is stirring up en. terprieos in tho way of investment. This is readily ecou in thc starting of factories at Williumston and Charleston, and in tho pro jecting of sinfilur enterprises in almost every county of tho Stato. Our mineral resources ate attracting active attention, as seen by the roport of tho Commissioner of Agricul ture, while nearly ovory enterprise promo tive of woalth or comfort is hoing agitated. In this connection wo anticipate no small rosluts from tho enclosure law in tho im provement of stook and tho bringing into cultivation large traots of improductivo land, not now profitable Our progross in morals is equally visible. Education is attracting a greater share of attention and schools and colleges aro more numerous and better patronized. Laws restraining and preventivo of crime and ?whatever conducos to crime arc being advocat ed and adopted. Thc last Legislature in this Stato, under tho pressure cf a wholesome nnd intolligeuL publio opinion, not only made it a misdemeanor to onrry concoalcd weapons, but restricted tho falo of liquor to incorpo rated cities and towns and in them subjected ita Balo to heavy license and stringent regu lations. This was a stop long advocated by many amid bitter opposition, but finally adopted at tho publio demand. Tho oppo nents of tho liquor traffic aro by no means satisfied, but will continuo their warfare until legal prohibition is secured. This may bo remoto, but tho time will doubtless como when it will be granted, not only in this but in all the States. Tho warfuro is bogun ac tively in tho North and West, and across tho waters tho samo spirit of prohibition is being awakened in tho old world. In our own Stato tho victory gained last winter has whottod tho opposition nnd we would not bo surprised at tho presentation to tho noxt Legislature of petitions signed by ono hun drud thousand citizens of this Stato asking tho passage of a strict prohibitory law. Already petitions aro hoing circulated with this view and the proBB and pulpit on this subject aro largoly in accord. Un this and other.moral subjoots tho public mind is hoing exercised with an intorost novor boforo known aud not even nntioipnted by tho strongest advocates of temperance. Tho mission of tho ministry and total abstinonoo sooiotios bas borotoforo been fruitless, but it bas bo oome tbo work of all lovors of peace and ordor and is progressing as tho mission of tho great moral world. Tho Haleigh News' says that Mr. A. F. Bizzoll, of Laurinburg, N. 0., last yoar cultivated 60 acres in cotton with th reo mulos. Ho gathored 40,270 pounds of lint cotton, 600 bushels of corn, 300 bushols of potatoes, and paoked 6,000 pounds of pork. Ho could havo realized, at low prices, on those crops alono, ovor $4.000 in cash-ovor $1,300 to caoh mulo. How will that do for "a oountry tbat is good only io immigrate from?" The Charleston News and Courier slates tbat Governor Hagood was in Charleston on the 12tb, attending the races in that city. mt?Btt??? WU . JULI JL. MMJgjg B f HU .Mill SiL'J. Li JJJB Our Productions, Labor, &o. In our lut IMUO ve mentioned the relative valuo of various products of (bis and. other States, ?Uh the view of directing the attention of our farming community te the probable profit of tobacco growing, to which we consider this county welt adapted. We oould only give average yields per sore aqd average prloes ot the articles mentioned, leaving to our readers te reason for themselves as to tho profitableness ol these protluots. Every one is'aware that an average yield ls within the easy roaoh of nay Industrious farmer, and very fow good farmers would accept suoh a y ield for his crop elthor in quantity or value. Tako corn and how many ol our farmers would accept 7} bushels per noro for his oropt In fact tho avorago yield of oom per aero in 27 States varioB betwoen 26 and 41 bushels and tho average value por aero from corn varies from $5.62 in South Carolina to $20 in Oregon, only ld States averaging above $16 per acre in oom. Tho general average value of the chief pro duots of all tho States of this Government varies per aore between $8.60 in Florida and $20.82 in Rhode Island, only 4 of the 87 States averag ing por aore above $20 for their products. The averago valuo of all tho products of (his Stato is $10.09 and thom aro but four States showing n lower average, lo wit: Florida, Ne braska, Iowa and Kansan. Consider this low averago and that tho lowest average cash value per aoro from tobacco is $88.16, and it will be readily seen that wo can grow in thia county tobacco profitably and ought to plaut il largely. Ia addition to the quantity and vnluo of tho products of a country, its desirableness for money making depends largely on tho supply and value of labor. In this respect our Stale will compare favorably with any portion of Ibo United .States, for while tho nogro may not bo a model of morality or u dosirabk politician, ho is certainly a good laborer and has thc physical strength and climatic fitness for this county. Ho may not bo fully reliable, but he will improve lu (his respect, and on tho nvorage has as many dcsirablo qualities as can bo fouud in any laboring oluss. The price paid for labor in tho South also gives us groat advantages over many other Stales of tho Union. The averago price paid per mouth by the year in tho States and Territories of the Union rauges without board betweon $10.38 and $42.66; with board between $7.32 and $30.76, and among thc States varies as follows: ID tho Eastern Statos between $10 and $23.40 without board, and with board betweon $12.02 and $14. In (ho Middle States without board from $21.68 lo $16; with board from $10 to $1-1. In tho Southern Stales without board from $10.38 to $18.45, and with board from $7.32 to $12.20. In (he Weslarn Sutes with out board from $10.14 to $10.03, and widi board from $13 to $30. In Ibo Territories with out board from $22 lo $42.05, and with board from $13.80 to $30.75. Farm labor is cheaper in South Carolina (han iu any other State, averaging by the year without board $10.38 per month, and with board $7.32. Thc general averago of farm labor by tho year was iu 1879, for tho wholo coulry, $20.20, and fer tho year 1880 $21.75. Tho average prico for labor with board in 1880 was $14.66 per month. lt will thus bo seen Hint South Carolina has a great advantago in the low price of labor over all thc other StatcB, havioR adv&niego of one dollar per month over North Carolina and Georgia. Enjoying a healthy climate and an easy access to market, what hinders our people from making money rapidly and what advantage has any county of this State over our county? And further what reason has any man to leave a country, where all things considered, such such great advantages exist and are open lo all to search out au Utopian El Dorado? This State, compared with any other State, has equal advantages for making money, with numerous dcsirablo couvenionocs of a social character, such as schools, churches, Sic, which cannot bo fouud in nowly settled Statos. If wo compare this county with other counties of this Stato wo will fiud our advantages equal lo theirs, for while eomo may grow cotton moro profitably than this, wc can more than counterbalance this by growing lobacoo on our rich uplands. Tho fact is wo have everything needed to mako us contented and prosperous, and with industry anti economy wc will enjoy these blessings and also grow rich rapidly. Wo propose in our next issue to say something upon tho relativo value of lands in this and other States, t li oso three items, tho relative quantity and value of products, tho wages of labor and thc price of land, being thc most im portant considerations in tho desirableness of homes. A Negro Found Dead and Whis key the Cause of His Death. PAIR PI-AY, S. C., February 14, 1881. MKSSKS. RDITOIIS: Julius Parks, a negro boy who lived In Georgia, was found dead near tho Iluptist Church at this placo on Sunday morn ing, tho Kith instant.

Tho road ho took to renoh his sister's is known as tho Pen? dleton road, leading in a Northeast direction from (his place and ho was found dead on tho Fair Play and Anderson road, loading rather in an Eastern direction from hero. Thc deceased was thoroughly saturated with water and it is supposed that be attempted to cross a oroek neni Mr. Cleveland's but could not. The air?ame wore nil out of their banks.

OPPOSITION TO SUMPTUARY LAWS IN Onto. -COLUMBUS, O., February 8.-Tho tempor ?neo question threatens to bo thc rock upon which tho largo Republican majority in tho Oenernl Assembly will founder and give Ohio to thc Pomoorats noxt Fall. Thoro are twenty bills touching on tho liquor question now ponding. Sovoral provide for local option in various forms; unothor provides for submitting an amendment to tho constitutum to pr?vido for licenses, and another to amend tko constitution to allow loj.il option laws to bo passod, and two others to allow a special tax to bo levied upon places selling intoxica ting liquors. Each proposition has its 6up purtors. This division of opinion promises to result in nothing, and, henee, picoso noone. A caucus of Republicans, held last night to consider these measures, resulted in a very chaos of opinion, and it was agreed to diaugroe. To-day a hill to provide local option gavo many members ti fino opportu nity to air their peculiar ideas, but ?resulted in nothing but words. Thc German clement, which bolds tho balance of power in Ohio, and to whose votos tho Republicans aro largely indebted for thoir prosont majority, through their various societies uro protesting against tho passogo of ultra sumptuary laws, und these, with tito m mufaeturors and dealers in intoxicating liquors, uro combining' tu secure- tho defeat of nil these schemes except thoso seeking to tax liquor-selling in sooio form.
