April 10 41 one off Half Cooked- , Our correspond nt Kelton Wlie-1, oerliuly goes off haif-cocked, as our old Sher tf , Hiee Rodger*, ns.d to s*y of us, when e said anyth;ng that did not please hiiu. Iu order that we may be fully understood i the matter we publish what our friend ild last week which we thought demanded notice from us: There is n great deal being said about ilie ercnotile frateroiy not selling anything on mo in uinety-two. Now I think the m?r. jantn had beiter go slow on that lin>-, for ar they will loo?e more than ih*y will &in by the operation. It migbt do very ell well for them to close down on cml ing for.dry goods but to refuse the farmrs credit for provisions, under the coodilons and circumstances now in the ooumry, ould bring ruin and disasler upon the tilirs of the soil and those in other avocaticus, od would certaioly cause less debts to be aid than would bounder ether circums ace', s an illustration, wc will tako a man that wes all he will make this year, and nil the terchanls say we will not credit out asiugle ollars worth of dry goods or provisions in f'2. That man would sell his crop and put ie money in his pocket, knowing tlint ho Duld not get credit any more, and who eould lame him for being guilty if such an act, kuowig that without tnouey he would have to go ungry and cold. This is only a hint to how what a thing of that kind would lord ). 1 expect to be shot at by tome fellow >r writttng what I bave. It may be that ?m wrong, but it is my honest opinion and am bound to speak what I think, if it be xpcd.ent. la the first place, we never said that the Ierchants of Union had threatened not to ive credit for supplies next year. In the next pi ice it is merely a matter of xste between saying I am not willing and / m not able to give credit. It is the same ting in Dutch. In the next place we can't point our friend i any particular Bank, corporation or iniuidual whose failure was caused direoly Y the Farmers, nor did we say so; but c did say and say, yet, their failures were oni not being able to make collection", and le wholesale merchants bcingmainly the snfrers weic pushing tlio country merchants, c. And here, respected friend, is where 10 willingness or ability of the country erchants to give credit lies If the wholeile merchants refuse credit to the retail erchants, how and where can tbo litter it supplies to sell to Farmers oa a credit ? But yoor great mistikc is in accusing j of charging you with dishonesty. We | id nn snnK V?? ?:n ?1 1 ? ?MWm Mi'ugt a vu gui miu'jr TTill Il'Jl I )ny that in the above extract you tuggetlcd mt if the merchants threaten to refnsocredii r supplies in 1802, "the farmer who owes it he mikes this year would tell his crop id put the mouey in his pocket." In that u may not suggest to the Farmer to dosucli dishonest act, but as we understood you was a suggestion that such may be tbe suit of such a threat. Hut, when you r her say, "aud who can blame Lira be farmer,) for beiig guilty of such an d." you not on'y acknowledge it to bo a lishonest) not, but. you t.ioitly endorse and unniend it, No doubt, you a-o quite as honest as we e. nnd perhaps you would not intenanally encourage farmers or any one else do a dishonest act, and on the coutrary we id we did not believe the Farniorf of Union on Id commit such au indiscreet and di*~ incst act as you tuggested in your illustram, they might do which you call "a hint show what a thing of "in! liUhJ ?1-1 ? You also skid, "I exrcctWbc shot at by mo fellow fo?' writing what I have." Well, as >u said they were "your honest opiuions," is fellow shot at them, and you, according expectation. You arc not the first honett au who honestly held opiuions wlrch were shonest in their tendencies. Insult or no insult we now say the tcn>r of the above cxt act from your letter is shonett in its teachings, and your sensl. vencss in tiking what we said as an suit only shows that you either d d not aderstand the full meauing rf what you iti or are trying to evade the responsibility 'lh? I?iim ImnftFl r.f ir.,,11- urr.?/1.i Who in ie three last liu es of your letter this week, ju are counselling dishonesty. The figuring of our correspondent elephone, upon the los9 to Union County one, from the short crop and low price p cotton, almost takes away our power of leathing. Just think of it ! Union loses ur millions five hundred thousand dollars 1 the depreciation of one crop 1 Now, the question arises, would the people Uniou have been $4,500,000 better off if ey had m ide an average crop and received ) eents a pound for it. According to Teletono's figures and argument, the financial suits of 10,000 bales at $40 a bale would ly off every mortgage, liquidate every ibt for supplies, and leave about $50 in the icket ol every man ana woman in lu<8 ninly. We don't include the children, and j c maybe mistaken, more or lrss, as to the nouiit of currency it would leave in the ockets of our citizens. We, however, agree wi;h our esteemed irrcsponden', in the estimate lie places pon the number of debts one doll u* woul 1 ay during the year. And that fact should ot be lost sight of in estimating the effect of iore or less currency in circulation, upon io business of ihe country. It is not to inch the volume of currency, as the channel trough which it moves, that relieves the asses of i he people rs well as I lie mercanle interests ef a cmntry.

Most of those who have spoken tl have spoken well, and with greater or less > Je/roe of acouraov. . ^ In our judgment the results show, as has j been portinentiy remarked by almost all the democrat c and republican papers, that the tariff is not a do id issue. It has not been a [ dead issuo for forty years. It has more than once been crowded in'o the biokgroun 1 for awhile, but like all questions that inroive. ' % principle of justice and equity as between different olasaes of people iu the same oountry, it will again and again rise up to plague the government until it is settled right. , # * ? * * j The democratic party must return to its ^ doctrine of a tariff for rovenue only, or as near to free lr ide as is possible. It cannot win heforo the poople in a contest on the tariff where there is less than 15 per oont. in the ad aalorem tax actually in operation under a republican administration and that proposed by the Mills bill ?The Cotton Plant. In Briialf oj thk Orphans.?Times are j tight nnd there are a hundred ohildrcn to n feed. That is the state of affairs at the a Thorn well Orphanage. Think of it, thero are children gathered together at Clinton, from near'y every Southern S:ata. They are fatherless and motherless, and would be homeless but for the g>oJ hand of God who bos gathered them under these protecting roofs and raised up friends to help them. Yon, reader, 1 are one of these friends, if you will quickly ' sit down and write out a chock or enclose a gift to Dn. Jacobs. Cmnton, a. C., and he'p h'm to feed those orphans. Or sond a bar. * rel of flour, or a sack of corn, or a barrel of . peas or rico or mol-mses. The children aro from seven different de- J nomina'i >ns. There are as many of Baptist J origin as Presbyterian, and as many Methodists as Baptis's among them, so don't stand back on account of a word of doctrine. They don't sen t off a child there, because tho parents di 1 not happen to be of their faith. 1 Thanksgiving is close at hand. Ihe very time to give a thank-offering to the help- | less. Christmas is c'ose by. How could you ( forget to make the orphans happy at suoh a time. And mark you, if you and people like you do not pity and help, those orphans Will have nothing to eat or wear. Picking Cotton bt Machinery.?Augusta, Nov. 12.?Tho Mason Cotton Harvester, which has been anxiously looked for hero ( for several days, arrived to-day and wns exhibited in operation in a field of cotton in the Expositiun grounds this afternoon, in the presenoe of a large crowd of interested spectators. The machine gathered at the rate of 300 pounds an hour, or 3,000 pounds for an ordinary wot king day. The bushes have been killed by frost and the cotton has been open in the bolls about two months, but despite these drawbacks the cotton which w?s picked was ginned without boing passed through a cleaner, and producod a good clean samp'o. Mr, Patrick Walsh, the President of the Exposition and the editor of the Augusta Cbroniclo. was present during the trial of the machine and said: "I oonsider it a most wonderful machine. It picks the cotton under most adverse circumstances without injuring the plants and unripe bolls and it gathers enough to make it an implement of gre>? value." ?
