Perhaps there are at thie moment few more prosperous parts of our country than upper South Carolina, those counties lying along the base of the Blue Ridge through which the Piedmont Air Line Railroad passes. It may seem strange in view of the misrule of the State that they should be so. We have no doubt of the fact, and it may be well to consider some of the causes, for some of them tend towards great changes productive alike of good to the South, North and West. In the first place let us remember that these counties lie along the southern circumference of the most healthy region on the continent. If you will take Asheville, Buncombe county, North Carolina, for a centre, and with a radius of a hundred miles draw a circle, you enclose a couutry uusurpassed for climate, summer or winter, for scenery beautiful and grand, for minerals, timbers, water power aud soil. We named Asheville, because it is well known as the ceutre; but the Black Mountains, the highest east of the Rocky, eighteen miles from Asheville, show why it is a real centre, between the lakes and gulf, the Atlantic and Mississippi, the water running from near them in every direction. It is a geographical centre in the heart of the States bounded by the lakes, gulf, &c, fa Torable for intercourse in every direction, and centres, not seaports, are looming into view as the coming points in the future. Then this is a centre with a cool, temperate climate by virtue of its elevation, well down among the semi tropic state, and near to the West Indies. Across it will soon pass one of those north and south railways, on which men can forever ex? change the products of different climates. The East Tennessee and Georgia Railroad goes through the northern part of the circle. The Piedmont road along its southern line, and with direct communication to the ocean at Charleston, makes it accessible to New York, New Orleans, Europe and South America. Energetic meu are at this moment, in spite of the cloud that new railroads are under, work? ing towards tho mountains, looking towards Chicago. By the aid of Charleston fertilizers, cotton . is now raised to the very base of the moun? tains, adding this crop to the old time farming crops. Factories are paying, new ones are going up; that this will be a manufacturing country admits of no doubt. The winters be? ing mild, say like November in New York, field work is never hindered save by rain ; cold never stops it, and a continuous movement is at this time going on of those who can see no chance for work north or west this season. If capitalists would study this thing as do the intelligent workers who are moving, how much could be done. The Southern man would sell part of his lands on favorable terms. A little active capital could come in secured equally with the land, and a something better than soup kitchens would be the result. At this moment capital waits for safe and profita? ble opportunities, and some of our best work? ers are drawing near to their last saving, wait? ing for "employment. To those who know this country well, its future is as clearly before them as its past Such a population?mainly English, largely Scotch and Scotch-Irish, tried by war, tried by worse than war, the peace the lamb has when the jackal picks his bones, tried but not cast down, with the Northern element about to flow in, on such soil, with such surroundings and resources, what will they not accomplish. What does not such a country offer alike of security and profit to the capitalist! The educational advantages of this section are not to be passed over. Greenville and Spartauburg are alike deservedly noted for their schools of high order. As a father said of Wofford College, from which his son had just graduated, a young man leaves there more moral than when he enters. There never was much caut or hypocrisy among the people of this country, but their solid, religious senti? ment will not be moved by the disturbers of other mens' minds. We are just old-fashioned enough to think that this counts for some? thing, either to emigrant or capitalist, when he considers the future of a country. Railroads, schools, churches, society; what these things mean are solidly established, they have the full vigor of maturity about them. Yet so far as the industrial affairs of the South are con? cerned, amid struggle and strife, with pain and anguish, a new birth has come. The new life is full of hopo and promise, and as the rising sun first greets the mountain tops of this re? gion, so along their base shines out the earliest signs of an industrial future. How Four Acres Supported Eight Persons. For the premium of $210 offered at the Geor fia State Fair for the best support made for a wnily of eight white people off of the small? est number of acres, Mr. J. Cox, of Greene county, won it. On four acres, he supported his family well and generously, giving them more to eat than a city family would eat in two years. This is a temple for Georgia, and we present his description of how it was done. It is worth reading : Your exhibitor would state that he has eight white persons in family, viz: Self and wife, three sons and three daughters; that he hires no help; that he has selected four acres of his crop, cultivated by himself and family the present year, from the results of which he oases his entry for the premium in question ; the said four acres being cultivated in corn, one acre of which has measured out eighty-one bushels, and presents certificates from disin? terested persons, who state that the other three acres are comparatively equally as good as the acreraeasured. He, therefore, safely estimates the four acres at seventy-five bushels per acre yield, or three hundred bushels of corn, be? sides shucks, fodder, hay, etc., enumerated be? low. This, in connection with his small gar? den, potato and turnip patches, not over one acre more, makes the land, on which the result below is based, five acres. The four acres of corn is bottom land, and cultivated in the man? ner as;?et forth in the statement made by me in the entry for best acre lowland corn, to which I refer, the preparation and expense of cultivation being identically the same : By yield four acres corn, 75 bushels per acre, 300 bushels, si per bushel.$300 00 By yield 8,000 lbs. shucks, 50c. cwt. 40 00 By yield 4,000 lbs. fodder, $1 cwt. 40 00 By yield G.000 lbs. pea vine hay. GO 00 Ry yield half acre sweet potatoes, 75 bushels. 37 50 By three beeves, $12 each. 36 00 By three sheep, $2 each. 6 00 By ten hogs, 150 lbs. each. 75 00 By chickens, butter, eggs, etc., sold. 50 00 Total aggregate sold.$644 50 Not including garden trucks, vegetables, chickens, eggs, butter, milk, etc., consumed by the family. The expense of cultivation, paid for ma? nure, etc., is estimated at $24 per acre, as per statement, as set forth in entry for premium, in detail to which I refer, making for the four acres, at $24. $96 00 Leaving as money value, net.$548 50 Your exhibitor would state that he had three milch cows, fourteen head dry cattle, two hor? ses, and twenty-seven head stock hogs, sows, shoats and pigs, and submits that in his judg? ment the products of the five acres, as above stated, is full, to maintain in an ample and generous manner, the family of eight persons, besides the whole of the stock, above enumer? ated, arid more besides, if he had it. No estimate could be given of the garden truck, fruits, butter milk, eggs, chickens, etc., consumed by the family, the same being boun? tiful and ample, and only the amounts sold of j same are estimated. Small Industries Forty-five years ago, a certain small farmer in one of the upper counties of South Carolina, settled on a plantation about three mile3 from the spot on which he was born and raised. He still lives in the house he built when he was' first married. He has never bought a pound or meat of any kind, nor a bushel of corn. Every? thing that has been consumed, except coffee, sugar and molasses, was made on the farm. He raised a large family?near a dozen of children ?all of whom he gave a fair education. On the farm there were no laborers but the white family. They owned no negroes and never hired any one to work on the farm or in the house. Until the sons grew up, the husbaud did all the out-door work ; and whilst the daughters were in their childhood, the wife did all the cooking and washing. Every member of the family was healthy and strong. The father and mother are both still living, and al? though they are approaching eighty, they are still vigorous and strong. When they were married, some fifty years ago, neither of them had much property. Five hundred dollars would have covered all that both owned. Of their five sous, four received a classical education and the other was offered it, but pre? ferred to farm. The daughters were as well educated as those of their richer neighbors. To-day, all of the children, most of whom are married, are doing well. There is not a drunk? ard or gentlemen of leisure amongst the sons, and the daughters all married sober, decent and industrious men. Now, the inquiry arises, how did a poor man accomplish so much? We reply, he made money and he saved money by engaging in what may be called small industries. Every year he made corn, wheat, oats and provender sufficient to meet the demands of his own plan? tation and some to sell. He sold pork, and he sold bacon and lard. He kept a mare, and sometimes two, and raised his own horses, and sold, on an average, a horse every two years at prices ranging from fifty to one hundred and fifty dollars. His wife made butter enough to supply the family, and some to sell each week. She raised chickens, ducks and turkeys, and sold eggs and poultry. She spun and she wove, and made cloth enough to clothe her family. The family lived well. Everything was in abundance, and everything was good. Each year a small quantity of cotton was made and kept until the price would justify its being sold. It was not obliged to be sold whether the price was high or low. If the price of cotton was down, the bales were stored away in an out house un? til the price rose and then sold to advantage; and when sold, the money was all taken home or lent out to some cottou planter to buy corn and bacon! The enterprise in which this farmer en? gaged were small industries, but they proved very remunerative. The life of such a fam? ily may not present a pleasant picture to ev? ery one; but to an honest man there is some? thing very captivatiug in it. Were all fami? lies in our country such as the one described, we would have a more prosperous and a more moral country.? YorkvUle Enquirer. An Extraordinary State of Things. Judge T. J. Mackey, in his charge to the Grand Jury of Fairfield County, last week, ordered them to investigate certain communi? cations which recently appeared in the Winns boro' News, and to report whether the authors of said communications and the Winnsboro' News had been guilty of conspiracy under the Reconstruction Acts of Congress. The com? munications referred to advised the peaceful, law-abiding citizens of Fairfield to discrimi? nate between certain individuals who, in the election, had proved themselves friends of good government and reform, and others who had raised the question of color, and had been pe? culiarly bitter in their conduct. The commu? nications distinctly stated that they had no ref? erence to those colored men who, while sun porting the Republican ticket, did so quietly and without giving olfence to any one. But the authors stated that there were certain indi? viduals who, while they had received many favors from the whites, nevertheless were very virulent and active in working against the Conservatives, and in raising the cry, "Stick to your color." The whites were advised to remember these individuals who wanted to have nothing more to do with white men. That was the gist of the communications, which distinctly declared that it was not proposed to make any discrimination on account of poli? tics. It is utterly absurd to suppose that the En? forcement law can be perverted to the uses which Judge Mackey would put it. The law itself is unconstitutional, and will be so de? clared whenever it comes regularly before the United States Supreme Court; but, unconsti? tutional or not, it is ridiculous to say that citi? zens shall not decide for themselves who they shall and who they shall not employ. The view taken by Judge Mackey, if it could be sustained, would keep the whole country in a ferment, inasmuch as it would enable any man or set of men anywhere to drag any citizen into the courts on the ground that he was con? spiring to deprive somebody of a real or fan? cied right. One conspiracy, and one conspira? cy only, is there in South Carolina, and that is the Radical conspiracy to strip the people of their property by taxation, ana to make slaves of them by denying them the representation to which they are entitled, and which, with a fair election, they would have.?Charleston News and Courier.
