H., SOUTH CAROLINA, JUNE 28. 1882. NUMBE II S5. WHAT THE BOOTH PAYS FOR FOOD S PLIES. Wo clip tho following paragraph I'i the A'lantic Constitution. "It lias been ascertained that the So has this seism paid to the North 833.1 000 f >r wheat, $5t).0lM).000 for corn. Si 000.000 for meats and about 825 000,< for hay. but'er, chees*. oats, apples p< toes, etc. The North, in other woi draws on us fir about 8200 000 000 a y to liquidate bills that should not have b made. This sum is more than we can all to pay for bread and meat, if we wh illy i peud upon cotton. This drtin has imp erished us, and IV on bitter experietiee have at last learned to do belter. I North will not noxt season he able to t ? from us over 8100,000.000 on aeeotint ^ provisions and grain, tied a year later .t t I i... r..tt.. ...tr must bo done if there is to bo any real in peiiilence in the South." Those figures are startling, ami the e > incuts' of the Constitution pcitincnt.
