LECTURING ON LIBERIA. WORDS OF WISDOM AND WARNING- I t?*?~
WAI.TtRitnnn 1 A ...n.o? T i-'*? ? -
v?.Vj . x'ur seven
days past it was announced in and arouu
this couiuiunity, by pustcrs and handbill:
that licv. E. J. Adams, of Libcriau notor
cty, would deliver a lecture at tho Coui
House in our town, on the eveuing of th
5th of August, on the Exodus movement
At an early hour the dusky crowd begtin t
pour iu town, and to asscmblo in groups am
knots at the corners about the Court House
all engaged iu discussing both sides of thi
qucstiou of to go or not to go to Liberia.?
At the appointed lime the speaker arrived
und was conducted to the stand and inlro
duccd to the audience by T. D. lliehardsou
Esq.
, Mr. Adams appears to be aboutjGS ycart
venerable in appearance. About six feet
mgn, wcu Duut, auu dressed in a suit oi
black cloth, he is withal a fiuc specimen ol
the negro race. His complexion is not a
deep black, but has somewhat of an ashy
shade about it. His lips arc not so thick
as is usual in the genuine African, which,
with his powerful lungs aud splendid teeth,
ft enables him to speak in a clear and often
very musical tone.
The whole drift of his lecture was ou the
negative side of the question, whether it is
wise or uuwise for the negro to emigrate to
Liberia, llis first argument was from his
own experience. He, too, was anxious to
go to Africa, and in 18G3, as a missionary,
he gratilicd his ambition, lie found it no
place to raise stock. That of the forty or
f 'fifty donkeys that were sent out with him
Ibr tb^^ioorcr emigrants, not one could be
fouud in two years' time. Even the wool
on the back of a sheep would turn to hair
in the course of a few years, lie had no
desire to underrate the land of his lorefathers
; that it presented as much beauty
and wealth as any other country on the
globe, but that it was not advisable for
those who had barely means sufficient to get
there to make the change. They should
stay at home, for once tlicy arrived in Liberia,
if they were disappointed, the government
would not help them to return to
their native soil. He analyzed America,
L..i.Li'..i - i ? < '
us iicaiiuiuiucss, us uciignuui climate, its
governments, its schools and colleges, all of
which the negro enjoyed equally with the
white man. lie contrasted the present condition
of the negro with his status in this
country fifteen 'years
America then, why coukkthey not liv^ncrP
t.ow ? Did they wish to get rid of the
white man ? They need not expect it iu
Africa, lie is found in thfc North, the
Hast, in the South and on the west coast of
Africa. lie disabused their minds of the
idea of getting possession of the government
over there. He had met one negro
from the South who had confessed that lie
had gone to Liberia with the expectation of
becoming its Governor; tbat he had been
waiting for it seventeen years and was not
"Gubner" yet, uor was there any likelihood
of it if he remained seventeen years longer.
Many who had goncthcro full of such
notions had become destitute and were not
able to return for lack of mean'. He does
not believe that Africa can be Christianized
negro emigration. The religious advantages
of the colored people here wore contrasted
with those of Africa, the ignorance
and superstition there and the intelligence
and enlightenment here; the malarial disAfrica,

advised those who had labored to make the
country what it is to remain here and enjoy
its riches and the blessings of its government.
If you must emigrate follow the
march of empire and go West, where you
may still enjoy all the advantages of our
government and raise everything that grows
on the face of the earth that ministers to
the wants and gratifies the tasto of man.
This is only a meagre sketch of his intcrcsting
lecture. It was well received by
a majority of the negroes. Some few objected
to hearing themselves called negroes,
while others were disappointed in not hearing
of a land where pancakes and flap-jacks
grew already cooked upon the trees, and all
that is necessary to get the "lasses" to eat
with them is to boro a liolo through the
bark.

they are making every preparation
to entertain the publie. They have sent to
York and purchased necessary scenery,

it The triumph of the Democracy in this
d State iu the elections of 1870 accomplished
s, a great deal towards its doliverauce from
i- the evils of ftiisgovornuicnt. By this vic t
lory the State got rid of the radical leade
crs, the heads of the vandal horde of
? thieves and robbers, who had, ^luring long
0 years, fastened themselves upon its vitals
1 and nearly sucked out its life's bloc-d. It
, was hoped that this result and the honcit
; administration of affairs which followed, the
- tyisc and impartial legislation, and the ad,
ministration of justice with evcu hand to
all the people, would convince the colored
, people that the future of the State had

- land. It was hoped that this change would ,
restore harmony aud confidence between the
two races; that the bitterness of feeling (
which had been engendered by the arts of 1
political adventurers would pass away; that j
the voice of discord would be silenced, and ,
a new era dawn upon the State, which would j
revive its industry, husiucss and trade, aud ]
restore it to wealth and prosperity. It was ,
hoped that the good and true men of the s
State, the virtue aud intelligence, would
be allowed to remain at the helm, without fur- (
tlier attempt to stir up strife and confusion, j
until these great results were accomplished. .
Hut if the course of the Radical Convcu- j
tiou lately held in Columbia, be a fair ex- j
poucut of the feelings and purpose of that ,
party, it^s evident that the desperate game (
for power which convulsed the State iy the ,
past is about to be re-cuactcd; that tlVo at*11";
tempt will aguiu bo made to bring on col- j
lisions between the two races, to provoke t
acts of violence and, perhaps, bloodshed, t
for the manufacture of political capital.? s
Recent events show that the purpose of the j
Radical leaders is to again use the deluded
negro to accomplish their ambitious and sel l- 8
ish schemes; to glut their greed for office t
aud the public plunder; and that be is ready t
to play the part assigned him?to be a wiR v
ling instrument?the tool and dupe of vile c

llenec the desperate effort has beeu j
renewed to inflame the minds of these pcopie
against the white race by appeals to j]
their prejudices and passions. That this j
attempt will signally fail we entertain no j
doubt, if the Democracy will do their du- j,
ty. But if from undue confidence in their '
strength, if from indifference or apathy, ^
they should fail to rally to the polls, in the
coining elections, all that was gained by j
the victory of 1870 may be lost, and a still
more deplorable fate befall them than they '
have heretofore been subjected to. Every j,
Democrat should feel that he has his part ^
to perform in this contest, and begin the jwork
now, and continue it until the victory (|
is won. Let there be no laggards or stragglers
in the Democratic ranks. Let. the j
watchword be sounded far and near, "Close
up ! close up !" and when its line has beea j.
formed, it will prove as invincible as the ^

it is generally best to stay on tho wagon if ]
possible, as long as it holds together. But '
judgment must be used in this respect.? '
Whenever it seems necessary to leave the 1
wagon, it is best cither to drop oil' behind
or jump from the side. In any and every
case when leaving a runaway team, remember
and face the way the horse is going.?
When this is done a man has often times
left a wagon in safety, when if lie had

Col. J. K. Miutcr, Uuion County, ^ C.,
wrtes to the Richmond Planter and Farmer
thus: . '
' As reports on thin ant} thick planting
and sowing are called for by Bomo of your
correspondents, ? will give the,result of
my observations Torwhat they are worth.
I am fully per^tfj^ed.tbdt Messrs. Vurlo
and Knight are correct in their conclusions
us to the advantages of thin seeding. The
result of my experiments and observutiou
is substantially the same as theirs. I have
experimented some with most plants grown
in this latitude, aud huvo come to the coiy,
aJrafospU^nan^on^ failures, consequent
upon thick seediii". furm.?r? will
persist in this downward course, failing to 1
discern the true cause of the same. It would |
be difficult to estimate the loss resulting
[ruin thick seeding. The extra amount of
seed required by thick plautiug and seeding
is a heavy loss iu the aggregate, but '
largo as this is, it is small when compared j >,
with the partial failures of crops caused by '
sowing too thick. ;
1 usually sow about three peeks ami fro- j
jucnlly less, and that qusfHtity of seed will i
aroducc better results in this latitude than <
i greater quantity, I aui sure. Thin plant- '
ng gives room for tillering, which is all i
mportaut, as that is one of nature's funda- <
nental laws in regard to gratninal plants; ;
dvcrcfore tillering is a physiologinnj uccesthe
ccrc"' crops, and
f Irom thick seeding," poor laud, unfavora- i
ilu seasons, or the want of underdraiuuig, <
illcring is prevented, you violate ouo of |'
lie laws of nature, aud must necessarily 1
sutfor the penalty, as her laws are inexora- 1
do iu their demunds.
1 am inclined to think that rust, blasts '
md all diseases to which the cereals arc heir, '
nay be increased by thick seeding. Any- i
hing that tends to dwarf or retard the do- l
'clopuicul of plants tends to bring on dis- j <
ase. Thick seeding makes the straw thiu ; :
iid soil and more liable to be blowu i I
lown. Since storms have become more <
rcqucut, it is necessary to use every pre- 1 ?
autiou. I J
Thin seeding is preferable?First, lie- ]
fvusc it makes more grain aud of belter ' (
|Uality. Second, liecausc it is less liable ' (
"d disaster. ThirdyJioeau?j it } i

uorc easily saved. (Thick secdiug will ; i
ause many short heads and stocks, about ! I
lalf the usual height, and in cutting and (
taudli ng many ul' those will be lost.)? ! i
fourth, When the proper quantity of seed t
s planted, nature will determine for plants i
iretty accurately the strength and quality i
f soil by putting up just about as many c
tall? s as the land is capable of developing,
fifth and last, but not least, because the
oil or uvnilublc plant food therein is not
xhausted in making so much straw, the 1
irgc.st amount of plant food possible should t
e held ijf?f,cscrve for tho development of ?
ruit. Grain is the great desideratum of
lie farmer, therefore He should see that ?
othing is wasted unnecessarily' iu the pro- 1
uctiou of straw. i
I speak for thia^atitudc only ; in higher <
ititudes, grain is more likely to be winter <
illcd, and where the seasons arc shorter i
nd not affording time for tillering, heavier s
ceding than 1 advocate for this latitude '
lay be best. '

tivutur.?Never since I have been a farmer,
do L recollect to have seen the oat crop finer.
In this section we have just finished harvesting,
aud tho yield has becu such as
amply to remuncrnto the husbuuduiau lor
his labor. 1 urn one of those who h ive
always maintained that the out pays better
thau any crop we can raise iu this latitude.
It solves the problem of cheap horse food,
and in this couutry, where so mueh horse
power is required to cultivato our great
staplo, cotton, and so much coru, which is a
dear article gcucrally, consumed in feeding
them, the propriety of devoting more attcutiou
to the oat crop, becomes a question
iinnnrLinrTii. Thrv nuv .
Una cnenp, when no other crop is pressing
to be planted or cultivated. They may be
profitably grazed by stock through the winter
aud spring, if not allowed to trample
theui while the ground is wot, and when
harvested just before they are fully ripe,
make the best horse feed iu the world.?
They arc excellent as a change, even wkcu
corn is plentiful, as stock always improve as
soon as fed partly on oats. They may be
led to stock and the corn sold, if desired.
Several years ago I ran uut of corn in June,
about the time of the oat harvest, and having
made a good oat crop, fed mules entirely
an this cereal until I had "laid by" my crop
The mules held up well and showed 110 signs
of declension. Even : s a money crop, the !
oat occupies 110 mean position. They arc
always in deuiaud at remunerative prices.
By the cultivation of this crop, our lauds
ire put in good condition for resting and
iccumulaling humus?their level condition,
and the oat stubble, and grass and
weeds which spriug up after harvest, preventing
washing, which is one of the great
bugbears of Southern farming. This year
[ have raircd two varieties of oats?the
Texas rust-proof and the Burt rust-proof.
The latter is a new variety, which Las been
improved and brought into notice within
die last live years. 1 began sowing them
111 the 1st day of February last, 011 the
23d of April 1 first noticed tlnjy were |

hem claim that they mature from two five

[ had better lose the debt or take the cow,
is she was old and very thin, but finally
jonoluded to try and make something out
>f her, though the chances looked very

to feed her well, and turn out to grass
to fatten, but she proved so good for milk I
concluded to keep her another year. She
has kept it: good order all summer, and

Milking should he done regularly, as near

and evning. Tt should be done quietly
lind kindly and thoroughly. If tho cow is
treated harshly she becomes nervous, and
will not let down her milk freely, and thus
the best uer^jpu of it "is lost, as the richest
milk' is'the last, or what is called the' strippings."
For the samo reason the work
should be thoroughly performed, for a good
oow may be changed into a poor one if she
is not milkdd closely. In a large herd it
will pay for the owucr to go after the milkers
and strip the. cows. Do not allow the
cows to be driven rapidly from tho pastures;

the Turf World, after Trotting a Mile
in the Uhprccedcntcil Time of 2. 1314.
Buffalo, N. Y., August 3.?It was a
great day for Buffalo and the trottiug world,
that afternoon in August, 18(57, eleven years
ago, wlicu Dexter trotted a mile in harness
iu 2.171, eclipsing the 2.19] of Flora Temple,
which for eight years had stood at head
of the record, and the only performance by
a trotter iu harness better than 2.20. Today
was equally memorable, however, Karus
having trotted a mile iu 2.131, tho fastest
tiuio cveT*inado iu tho worid.
i It ,1'iiM wlum lb im
Eastern ^tna-Hantis, who had boon entered
for tho event, were drawn. When, the
great flyer came out with Splan behind him,
lie was greeted with round after round of
applause. A running horse was provided
to accompany and stimulate him.
After a rough warming up, to satisfy
Splan, the horse came down Hying. The
word was nodded for and given, and off ho
started on his first heat. The maro did not
got out for hiui until he was one hundred
yards from the score, and when he reached
the quarter pole, and watches marked 0 251,
it was evident thai 2.14 would not he beaten
in that heat. The half was made in
1.0!) i, the three-quarter pole in 1.42, and
2.17 was hung out as the time of the mile.
This was fast enough to show that tho
horse was at himself, but left it an open
question whether ho could beat 2.14 that
day. In the pools lie was the favorite at
about $50 to $35 agaiust time.
In about half an hour lie cauic out again.
The mare started with him from the score,
and kept close up. On he flew, but just
before reaching the quurtor-polo he left his
feet. He was set going again, and when
he came home watches in the judges' stand
marked 2.50. The $1,000, the main purse,
was lost, and it looked blue for the $500,
conditioned on beating 2.14. Without
leaving the track, the horse again came
down,and got tho word, hut. broko almost
itmncdi'.Ucly aud was turned before reaching
the draw gate, brought back and blanketed
for a couple of minutes.
Again Jtarus cauic flying down, this time
as steady as clock work. The word was
given aud with tlits runner at his girth lie
flew along. When the (tu^yt'r.nole was * ~
2.14 gait, and the 'slowest quarter of the
track. Straight work of the back stretch
was now before him, where his uiighty stride
could have its perfect work, and along this
lie flew at a terrible pace, reaching the half
iu 1.053 (or a 2.11 A gait,) and trotting the
second quarter in 32 1 seconds (a 2.0!) gate.)
His speed was slackened very little on tho
third quarter, the gallant trotter never making
a skip or faltering, and when the
timers noted 1.381 at the three-quarter
pole the exclamation "lle'll doit," was heard
all over the track.
Now thc>?tcmdi? became precious. y he
horse was tiring, as Spluu could feel, and as'
the wire was approached lie geutly touched
him with tho vrhip on his hind quarters,
aud two minutes was recorded by watches,
and he was nearly at the distanco stand ; 1 ' *
2.10, and ho was within one hundred feet
of the score ; 2.11, 2.12, and he's only fifty
feet; 2.13, and ho is hero, and "click !"
go scores of watches as lie sweeps under tho
wire and iudex-hands point to tho hereafter
memorable figures, 2.131. Kvcrybody knew
the horse had done it, hut the shouting did
not begin until the board was hung out
from the judges' stand. Then the cheering
"*'tP%tixMuendoin>. The quarter stretch was
gloved and jewelled hands and waved
handkerchiefs, and the men hallooed thorn
selves lioar.se. Directly Sjilan appeared io
the Judges' stand, and received an ovation,
and was presented with a basket of lovely
flowers. It was an occasion long to be
remembered.
