A large mini I >w of subscribers have not paid a dollar of their Subscription, while many have only paid a portion. If all would comic forward aud redeem their J^c Igcs in full the debt could be so greatly reduced as to induce a few men to carry the balance at the legal rate of interest. Surely the pcoplo'of Union arc not going to allow so valuable a piece of property to be sacrificed, when a smq^l sum from each one who feels any interest iu the agricultural development of the county w. uld place the success of the Agricultural Association beyond the power of any one to interfere with. The properly is worth every dollar of the money paid for it and ^r^JStiWejfefiVs ?u"ul ^rhibi.foni'm^o upon it arc becoming more appreciated and apparent every year. It will not do to let the property pass out of the hands of the StockholI ders. and thereby break up the Agricultural Asso! ciation of the county, particularly after such a ; short last succor-fill oxistaucc.

These two little very significant words, so long the captious to newspaper lucubrations South, seem'to have found a habitation in a higher latitude, where millionaire* were, not long ago, us plenty as blackberries. Down here, irt the Prostrate State," we have been so long accustomed to the phrase that it has lost its significance. Is there no rcmody for our Hard Times? We can't charge ours to the "shrinkage of values, breaking of Savings Hanks and Insurance Companies," so much dwelt on by the Northern papers. 1 uui not so sure that very much of it ! isn't our own fault. The cost of subsistence is j not higher than it used to he; but don't we lay j out more in dress and unnecessary iiululgencies ! than we used to do? liavn't we got used to high prices?

LETTER FROM CHARLESTON Ciiaklkston, Jan. 14th, 1878. Once fnorc order reigns in Warsaw. The crowd of noisy, dusk}' politicians, who for "so long" have held their court about the corners of ISroad and .Meeting streets, has collapsed. The glory of Undicalistn has departed. Peace reigns supreme throughout the City. Quiet people can now walk down Kroad and Meeting streets without the fear of pistol shots. Ladies and children can walk the pavements without fear of being shoved off or insulted by coarse abuse.? Under the new regime wo hope for retrenchment and rcf-'rin in every department connected with the prosperity of the Old City. The merchants complain tjiat money is scarco and business dull. Com|^liti<m is great and gimds can be bought at low figures. Credit is pretty well played out and everything is being conducted on easli principles. The best financiers say iliey have never seen the financial coir dilion of tin* country in :i more critical condition. lior.- to make safe i invest in en Is is a problem ii.it easily solved by the wisest beads. The shrinkage of values in all species of property at the North, and the wholesale bankruptcy of l.ife Insurance companies and Saving Hanks, tl?f? ,o ' 'tul'nu ntiil itiiinliititll inMii nf l iV \ t? | . , m__j vs. capital arc telling fearfully upon the East, and we cannot expect to escape harmless. The South, however, is better oil than the North.? Wo have conic down to hard pan, andean stand the shock boiler thai, those worthies who have been clothed in purple and hue linen and special i tig for years past updti-Vfcniiii of others. 'i he great problem at the South to he solved, it our Agricultural Prosperity; for turn and twist the matter sis you may, if the Agriculture of a country is not in a prosperous von.lition, every tiling else must go to the dogs.? Spasmodic ell'orls, by legislation or otherwise, may keep tilings going for awhile, but ruin will eume at last. At the bottom of our troubles undoubtedly ivsts that grim monster crc<lil, which will always devour the fruits of the farmer's labors. Unfortunately nearly everybody had to resort t? borrowing money after the war, and more un- ( fortunately, nearly everybody kept it up. High ^ prices paid for provisions which ought to litr o been pre luced on the farm; high interest for liiiiiiev iii ihiv 1'i.r iinurwii.nl t..l...? i . 1 ...... everything on credit, found the fanner at the end of tIto year unable to pay out. Tito balance of one year carried to tlie tie lit of another, with high rat03 of interest, ami lite constant low price of cotton ami high taxes, soon etuis in (lie bankruptcy of the farmer. The farms lor sale, the Sheriff's advertisements ami Auditor's list of dclim|iicut tax payers, all over the .State, go to show where the Agricultural interest of the country now .stands. it is much easier to say what ought to lie done than to do it ; but no one can he so blind to the situation as to argue that times will ever grow better under the old system. We must take a new departure. We must rereSOIYO (VI Kwp U\lV Ul tmnif dV twiivmUD lea every possible way. Stop all the leaks, and produce every article needed at borne that we possibly can. 1 know it will lie hard to come down to this. It is so easy to go to the store a.id buy what we want and hare it r/otiyetl, and so easy to calculate the number of bales of cotton /.< /. made ami the ri e in price which is always in futures. Hut there is no ither way out of liie vvil lerness. I'hint cotton only ns a secondary crop, and there will be money in it.? There is not too much cotton made for tlie world's use, but it costs too much to make it. ami the necessities of the. farmer force it upon the market too soon in the season, so that all the benefits of a rise go to the speculator. I.ot farming onee more become successful and ii will become ns popular ns of old, and the thousamls of young men who have left the field fir the count it will return to their old homes mill labor to enrich and beautify them.
