tor I lie Times. "Never Put too many Eggs in one Basket " CliAKLKSTON July 10, 1877. I have read with considerable interest the accounts published lately in the Times on the subject of the wheat crop. L>r. Fowler's exhibit is particularly interesting, as ho enters into the dotails, and draws a striking comparison between the profit of growing wheat ej. cotton.? I should be glad to believe that the magnificent wheat and oat crops of the back country had broken the farmer loose from his idol, apd that a good time was coming. If the people could only be persuaded that the reduction of the acreage of oollou woul^ouly ^norease its value, and the increase in the acreage of cereals insure his prosperity, by making him independent, there would be no longer a cry of 4,hurd times." While it is, to my mind, chear that every farmer should come as ucar living upon the products of his own farm us possible, he alone can be the judgo of his interest. Every man cannot grow big crops of wheat. A great deal depends upon the soil, the seasons and the treatment; It is, perhaps, the most uncertain crop crown. lfruststriksit.hu it ever so tii-omisiiiir the failure in certain?undth ere is nu security against, rust. If the lly strikes it, it is fatal; while a ' late frost, a bud spell of weather when iu bloom, or u storm, may blight the prospect. The redemption of Southern Agriculture depends upon the introduction of n mixed husbandry. All along we have been carrying too many eggs in one basket. 1 have never met a man who will gainsay it. All acknowledge that the only way out of the desert is to diversify out industry?to grow our supplies, as near as possible, aud look to cotton k as tho money crop?the crop to pay outside cx" * peases. Kvery man who lived upon u I'arfti ante helium, knows how smoothly and easily lie got along when he raised his own hogs, jisown wheat uud corn, aud made his own butter ; and at the cud of the year what a feeling of independence he enjoyed when he put his cotton money in his pocket, without a fear of being dunned or sued. Under the present system, whore you buy every thing and make nothing but cottou, you are ou a dead strain all tho time?dunned ou all sides, and dodging and ucgging on nil ine uruc. The farmer's life used to be culled the most independent one, now it is n most liuiniliating ono. You pay tribute to every one. Front the time the seed is put iu the ground until the bale is sold you nro paying somebody. It is the expense account that plays the mischief with success. Most of the failures in business spring from (he want of a proper appreciation of the sum total of all the little items which enter into the business. Mole hill bccomo mountains before we are aware of it. THE PAST SCIIKDULE. Charleston is alive just now on the Excursion question. Yesterday a large party of citizons joined the excursion to the Mountains. These are pleasant Ihings^and should bo encouraged. Jdani Fateh, you know, said he ouly jumped otf the Falls to show that "some things could be done as well as others." The old fogies who have been running the trains on thnt old nilnight and all-day schedule, lor the same reason thnt the boy gave for carrying the pumpkin in t one end of the bag and a rock in the other, may be brought to the knowledge that the buck country is not quite as fay from the seaboard as it used to be ; and it may follow thnt with more rapid communication some other ideas of reform may enter their heads. UIIAULKSION LOS1KU TUAL*K. Charleston is losing her trade rapidly?there is no doubt of that. The interior towns, with their rapid transit and cheaper transportation, earlier telegraphic intelligence, will soon monopolize the trade. Nut this only, but the cotton will soon take the same course. Money is cheaper in New York than in Charleston, and if they want to handle the cotton they only have to offer the inducements. The old fashioned talk about patriotism is played out. l'cople can't utlbrd to pay for patriotic impulses. If a New York 01* Baltimore Factor can make advances to the planter 011 his crop at lower rates, bis poverty will suggest the propriety of his taking it. Tho competition on the various lines of Hailroads has reduced freight 011 cotton, produce and merchandize, between the upper country and Baltimore, below the rate of transportation to and froin Charleston. It is not difficult to predict the end. Of COUl'80 Charleston merrlmnfu ilnn'l thin?the Railroads don't believe trade can be drawn oft' from Charleston. Thoy say we've heard all this talk about Charleston trade tailing otf and railroad extortion for a long time, but still the trade comes to Charleston. How long will it be so ? TUK UNION COUNTY FAIU. ? 1 am glad to see that preparations are already ' Waking for the County Fair. As a social institution merely these Fairs arc productive of great good. They bring together the farmers of the County, their wives and daughters. An interchange of opinions upon farm topics, domestic economy, something to wear and how to wear it, und a thousand little things that round otf our daily life. People go home with new notions in their heads, and many a girl has found out thnt she had something quite as pretty at home as one which took a prize. TUK I. A III KS AT KAIKS. The success of all Fairs mainly depends upon (ho "Fair." Unless the ladies tnkc an interest in it and enter into the spirit of it, it is sure to be a failure. "Stick a pin there." UNION AMI CIIESTKR HAII.R.1AH. And Union is in earnest about a railroad connection with Chester ! ^ It was an unfortunate step we made to connect. * with the (1. & C. 11. 11. It has been a source of annoyance and a tax on the County ah initio.? It would lie a glorious deliverance if the County could declare itself independant of that concern. NOUS V BR HONS.

Kuitou :?As your paper is the medium of communication between its patrons and tlio public generally, an 1 as its columns are open to ! contributors, i have concluded to address you brietly in reference tooueut the lending topics , of the day. So far as tlio farming iutcrost of South Carolina is concerned, 1 know of no subject of so much importance connected therewith us the ! Fence or Stock Law ; which, by the way, will be put in an electoral form before the people soon. The Bubject has beeu in days of yore bo fully 1 discussed in your papcism^^/hc advantages of "a stock law, that it iftJhTTtsecni difficult to Bay anything more in its favor, and it is surprising j to me that aity land ownct should be opposed to i the proposed change ; but such is the case, in- I eluding some of our largest and most respected landholders. To this class of our fellow citizens I beg leave to make a few remarks.* The whole matter is contained in a nut-shell. I shall vote for the stock law, and if carried at the polls, will simply expect you to contiucyour stock upon your own laud, and i pledge myself in good faith to do the same thing. Is there anything more in that than otic neighbor has a tV VAJIVVI ViUlIU VI IIID ICIIUW U1(1?VI1S; Again, it will be one of the greatest labor-saving schemes, to the agriculture of our country, that can possibly be devised ; and 1 hope the , people will remember, in this connection, that < the North, by whose example we should profit, \ has, for the last half century, been bringing its j inventive genius to bearjust at this point. j Again, tho vast amount of valuable timber thus saved is beyond our computation?leaving , out of the count, the large amount of valuable j land now rendered unprofitable by fence rows. The stock law "lice inaugurated would the means j of reducing the number of neat cattle, 1 admit, 1 say one-third or one-half; but it would increase , their value one hundred per cent, in the aggrc- , gate, inasmuch as it would be to the iutcrest of , the farmers to make a combined etWt in the ' introduction of first class animals of all kinds. , I forbear further argument with the landholders, ( for the present; but propose to say a few words ] to the less fortunate of my fellow-citizens?tho landless or tenants : f To you, my friends, the subject is of vital im- , portancc, as the labor required to keep up the prcseut expensive fence system is expected at ( your hands. Instead of this, two pasture fields ?one for summer, the other for winter? will j constitute what is termed the entire fencing.? You will slinre in common in the improvement , of the stock, and instead of its detracting from your interest in this particular, your employers will vie with each othor in preparing such pastures, with other advantages and conveniences, as will be most attractive to those who work their lauds. The Stuck law will be found one of the blcssiugs that will enure to the whole people from Hampton, Home Hulo and Kefonn. I will close this subject and sny a few words about the contemplated. 1 KAllllOW UAUUK KAlLKOAlt, from Chester to Union. I have always been in favor of railroads, cither as a matter of investment or convenience, or both, nml the only difference that can ohinin between you and 1, Mr. Kditor, is as to what point this railroad shall connect with the 8. U. and 0. road. 1 shall contend that this point?Sautuc?has claims that have not yet been made known to the public. In the first place, the people of this vicinity contributed as large a per centage of their wealth to buihl the S. <St U. road asauy other section on (lie road, secondly, our littlo village lias had to struggle long and hard for an existence, and that, too, under most ndverso circumstances, until now she is capable of not only holding her own hut is worthy to receive such an advantage. We have a large railroad depot, one steam Mill, three stores, one M. 1)., one studcutof Medicine, one blacksmith shop, several vegetable gardens, ami last, though not least, Messrs P. & J. have star* tod a Hrick Mill, and are grinding largely of valulable dirt into convenient form for building purposes ; hut as to what kind of a structure is intended it doth not yet appear?some arc of the opinion that it will be a large Hotel with store rooms, Hank office, &c., while others surmise that a Theological seminary may appear, or that it may end in a walled city. lint, Mr. Kditor, he that as it may, 1 propose j I lint you and 1 meet at Mr. Win Savage's barbecue on tlie 27th and discuss the merits of his culinary accomplishments, and there, face to face have a full interchange of sentiments upon botli subjects. Yours, as ever O H.F^IV Xj.V It . | i'ir m rs.
