Correspori lei. of tire Aiken Recorder. White Pond, 8. ) December 3, 1886.) The crops arc about gathered and fanners are wearing Jong faces, crops are short. This has been an un usually bad season, especially for planters along tin* line of railroad. In the first place the melon crop was one third to one-half short, and with all tlie shortage we raised more than we Could sell, and wSiat did sell were gen erally sold for low prices. Then the cotton crop was equal.y short, and prices equally low. The corn crop was anything hut full, and the pea crop almost a failure in many places. Add to these shortages, the fact that ail we eat comes from the West, and pis-es through the hands of several ; “middlemen” before it reaches the; consumer, and we have a sad state of affairs in our county. What is equal ly as bad, many of our farmers work! rented lands for which lhey pav an-; I nually at least, what these same lands ; I ought to sell for, so that the man who ; rents land to farm on who saves what | 1 I little corn he makes is certainly ae-j We counted a fortunate man, few of them do it. Another sad feature in our farming system is ih it we are “in haste to get rich.” We try to do too much, over reach our capacity, take too much risk, in other words try to run a three-horse farm when in reali ty we are not in a condiitou to run a the 69th year of her age.

It was in Union square. New York, one day, several New York managers were standing talk ing, when a limp-lama beggar came up and begged for alms. It had been a good season, and the managers had made some small change out of it. One of them looked at this beggar and had pity on him. Theat rical people anyway have more or less of the gambler’s absolute dread of passing a beggar without giving him something. They think it will spoil their luck if they do. It’s a kind of mute acknowledgment of a higher power that may be propitiated. The manager banded the beggar a lot of pennies, and pernaps n dime among them. Tee beggar moved oil, and on a corner he stopped. The managers kept their eyes upon him. the betting being he would go for a drink. Loug he stood thinking. It seemed bard to make up his mind. Before he had thought it out a figure meaner than himself crept np to him and begged for alms. The first, beggar looked aC him, thought a moment, then put his iiand in Ills pocket, handed beggar No. 3 a couple of pennies with an impressive glance of pity, and received his gratitude just as calmly as the manager hud accepted his own a few moments before.—Cor.

This invention designs so to treat the potato that the starchy and saccharine matters, with a quantity of the glutinous 1 a j port.ons, may be obtained and readily Rf- transported to any portion of the world as a staple product similar to flour: and it being a well known fact that chemical changes which accrue to the liquid por tion of the potato iu climates other than where it grew destroy its natural flavor, an essential feature of the process is to quickly evaporate such liquids while the potato is in healthy condition, and reduce it to a flour or meal which will retain the natural flavor of the esculent.
