THE COTTON CROP PROSPECT. Numerous replies received by the State Agricultural Department at Columbia, in response to queries propounded by Col. A. P. Butler, Commissioner of Agriculture, to the special correspondents of the department throughout the State, enable the Columbia correspondent of the New and Courier to condense the following general information regarding crop prospects, which will be of more or less interest to all classes of readers. A willingness is manifested in every CQunty in the State to sell real estate to bona fide settlers, at prices ranging from $2 to $50 per acre improved, and from 25 cents to $10 for unimproved lands, making an average of ohnnt SI2. and $4. resDectivelv. Flourish ing agricultural societies exist in each county, and there is a growing interest in pisciculture. The obstructions in the various streams to the free passage of niYgratory fish are being rapidly removed, and in a short time it is hoped that no cause of complaint will exist in this respect. ^ Favorable reports are being received from k all sections concerning growing crops, and V the prospect for a good fruit yield is said to W ' be fair. Fertilizers have been used in larger quantities than last year, and in some counties more than any previous year. The stock and cattle of the State is reported as in good condition, no destructive diseases having made their appearance in any quarter. Planters are purchasing about the same amount of supolies as last year, and in the majority of cases are resorting to the lien system of securing advances. Field labor is reported as more efficient, and in only oue county is any scarcity of labor reported, and there it is attributed to the negroes renting more land than formerly. The average amount of wages given is 50 cents per day, 86 to 88 per month and $75 to $100 per annum. But little immigration is reported, and in a few counties the tide of immigration has set in, and the new-comers being apparently well pleased with their new homes. In Chesterfield county the stand of cotton is better than for several years. In Greenville county considerable attention has been devoted to the improvement of cattle, Jerseys being the favorite breed. York county will have in operation by the middle of November next a cotton factory of 6,240 spindles, built entirely by local capital. In the eastern portion of the county the area in cotton is twice as large as that in corn, and the acreage in oats is three times that in wheat. In other portions of the county the acreage in corn and cotton is about equal. Horry reports plenty of cheap lands, good rantres for stock, fair crops and convenient markets. The Clifton Factory, in Spartanburg county, is expected to commence operation in October next, with 6,000 spindles. The introduction of new varieties of sorghum. in Abbeville, together with the im provements in the manufacture of syrup, have given this industry a renewed impetus within the last year. A yield of -K,000 gallons of syrup is predicted in one section of the county within a radius of one mile. Fertilizers have beeu largely used in this county, it being es timated that it will require one-third of a large cotton crop to pay for the fertilizers purchased in the vicinity of one station on the Greenville and Columbia Railroad. In Fairfield there is an increased inquiry Ti-Vf lan/la atirl orroatpr intprpqf. AnnRfPnt in lUi lUiiUO, WUU gl VMVWi aMw.wvw p ? the restoration and preservation of old lauds, also in the planting and cultivation of orchards and vineyards. Considerable attention is being devoted to grasses, 8,000 pounds of dry millet haviug been obtained from one acre uear Winnsboro'. Reports from Aiken county indicate that the farmers are in better condition, pecuniarily, thau at any time since the w?r, and from present prospects will be enabled to make their own terms with commission merchants another year. Gratifying reports a3 to crops of all kinds, health, labor, lands, &c., were received from Darlington, Chester, Chesterfield and Newberry counties. In Georgetown county labor is more settled, but still uncertain. Rice commanded full prices last season, and on the whole the rice planters are more hopeful. One gentleman in Oconee county harvested last week 1,952 pounds of cured red clover from one-third of an acre, and with good seasons this clover can be cut ouce or twice more this year. Timothy hay and lucerne are also grown to a large extent. The correspondent from Colleton county devotes considerable space to the lands and phosphate beds in that county, and his letter will be published in a handbook of the resources of the State, to be published by the commissioner. At the last meeting of the board of agriculture, a resolution was adopted instructing the commissioner to ascertaiu from the various railroads leading from New York to South Carolina their lowest rates of fare for immigrants to this State. In response to these inquiries the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad and its connections agree to take immigrants at the rate of 1* cents per mile; the South Carolina Railroad will bring them from New York to Columbia for 810, and on to any way stations at 2 cents per mile. The Air-Line Railroad is actively engaged in in- j ducing immigration, having an agent in New York. The road is auxious to cooperate with the Stats authorities in this matter, and agrees to carry immigrants to their destination for 1* cents per mile. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. LETTER FROM CHESTER. Chester, S. C., May 24.?We have wished for rain for some time past, and last Saturday it came plentifully?it being the heaviest fall of rain we have had here for some time. Some of our country friends were caught in the rain. Mr. Theophilus McNiuch and Miss Hollis, iu trying to cross the branch in a buggy, about a half a mile west of town, were thrown in the water and had a narrow escape for life. Mr. James Walker jumped iu and rescued the young lady. On Sandy river, a few miles beyond, a colored man had his supply of breadstuff, bacon, &c., swept from his wagon by the waters. Since the rain, Mayor Agurs has made a tour of the town, and reports much damage done to the streets, bridges, &c. They will, however, be promptly repaired. Col. C. J. Pride, Census Supervisor, has appointed the following enumerators for Chester county: Towu of Chester?Col. Fred. Walker ; Chester township?J. Newton Lewis'; Baton Rouge?T. B. Woods; Blackstocks? li T Tjarirtnll FT?1?p]ville?John A. Gra ham; Hazelwood?Jas. P. Ragsdale ; Landsford? Allen J. Davie; Lewisville?Robert K. Gill; Rossville?Samuel T. Anderson. The National Bank buildiug is receiving a new coat of paint, as also the front of S. B. Massey's store, on Depot street. Mrs. Cicily Atkinson, who had her arm broken by a fall, a week ago, died from the effects of the accident, and was buried to day in the old family grave-yard, a few miles west of this place. She was 85 years of age. The bam, cribs, <fcc., of Mr. R. K. DeBardeladen, of Blackstocks, were burned by au incendiary (as is supposed) last week. His 1 ^ IV.-111nn/1 kiillrlinrrQ if)ss ul cum, luuuer, uveatucik, auu wu.?v....b~ amounts to about $1,500, on which there was no insurance." Since the 1st of September, 1879, 20,400 bales of cotton have been shipped from this place by railroad. St. Mark's Episcopal Sunday-school had a picnic in the suburbs of town last Saturday, r and a pleasant time was enjoyed. The following persons have been elected delegates from the M. E.

May G 19 2m Ludden & Bates' Music House. Through the Savannah Morning News we learn that Ludden A Bates' Great Southern Music House will remove on July 1 next, to their new double store, corner Congress and Whitaker Streets. They will then have two large four story stores thrown into one and conveniently arranged for their extended business (which has doubled in the past two years), and which will give them the largest and linest Musical Warerooms in the entire South. The music trade of this staunch old house is immense, and Savannah may well be proud of possessing such an exponent of her claims as a Southern music and high art centre. There is no firm in the South who have done so much towards the development ol musical interest and culture as Messrs. Ludden & Bates, and we congratulate them on their splendid success. Men who show themselves so enterprising, accommodating and honorable in all business transactions deserve success aud generally VTT -1- J full _ II. ? e HrtJ i?l"U bLJ give mcui yjML avaw uudorsementand Advise our readers that they can safely and profitably patronize them.
