Southern Cotton Factories.
EJ. Farmer:?Ilere coincs :i load of cottou
to the station, and out marches our
smart factory agent to buy it, and addresses
him of the cotton thusly:
' My friend,.before you sell that cottoh
here for a low price, and take- the greater
part ?>f it in trade, just lot me tell you?what
you farmers are going. Cotton in New
.York is worth twenty-one ceuts, here it only
brings seventeen; that is four cents a pound
from here to New York for freight, stealage,
etc., you know.. Now., again, in. New York,
brown-sheetings and' shirtings are twelve
and-ahnlf; here twenty-two and and a
Half, which is ten cents d.fference on the
Knu- if t.!iko> two and a half yards to
weigh a pound, which is twenty-five cents
per pound for manufacturing and bringing
beck, added to the four cents makes twei t, nine
cents per pound which you Soutl.e n
farmers pay to have your cotton made into
clbth, which only lacks five cents of being
double first cost of material. What do you
tliink of that? Now, our factory will give
you twenty cents for your cottou, in cash,
and.sell you sheetings and shirtings at fifteen
cents, which gives us seventeen and a
half cents per pound for freight and manufacturing,
and is a direct gain to you of
eleven and a half cents on raw material, besides
keeping all that money at home to
build up the country and.double up the value
of the property several times over. Now
you didn't know how rjuick it could be figured
out before, and how much you Southern
farmers are losing every year by sending J
your cotton. North-and buying it back again,
did you ? "
" Well, Captain. I didn't Enow exactly
how it was, for I can't figure as fast as you
can, but I kuew all the time it was some
/ liqw- that way, and it's mighty bad, but we
famers can't help ourselves ; at least 1 can't.

the-cheap goods. btit we must have something
besides domestics?something to live
on. This cotton was sold to Smith & Brown
licrc before tlte seed was in the ground, and
that twenty-two a half domestics has been
bought, and.this cotton is going to pay for
it and the rest. Yon see I had' to get somebody
to back me in a crop, and I will have
do again. Now, Captain, as you have
Veen so good as to figure for me, though I
can't talk like you, may he I can tell you
something you didn't think about, and give
you a hint that may be useful to both of us.
^Voall heard you fellows had startedafactory.
and we would like to sell you our cotton,
but wc cant. Most of our cotton is
bound for debt. Yon may buy what loose
cotton there is in the cou try and make it
up, but then you can't sell it here, for you

merchants, they go to the Nortltern whole- j
sale merchants, and they are in with the'
rNorthcm factories; and so the ring is closed
,ihdd we cant get out in but one way. Now
* mark-ye. you fellows just set up a store here
against Smith & Brown, and furnish us fel.
low? with what we are obliged to have, and
we'll let you have the last pound' of cotton
wo can make, and glad to do it; and that's
the only way you can get it, foe our hands
are tied uow certain, uud you must untie
thorn for us."
* My friends of Southern enterprise, there
. is the secret; there is the place to open the
ring; there is the solution of the riddle the
cuttinjr of the Gordian knot of bondage
that has so long enslaved our land. Don't
waste your time in figures and arguments.
You arc talking to slaves. Free their hands
first, then they will help themselves. Don't
try to buy cotton for cash. Take your cash
and buy Northern goods and Western provisions,
and advauce them to the farmer and
he will gladly let you have all the cotton you
want.. "tight the devil with fire" until you
drivo him off. Do not complain of a want
of patriotism in the couutry, but act?act
wise.y. Get in the ring, get on tho track.
Begin at the begiunmg Marc rignc ana
you will succeed.?F. IF. Vesey in Southern

Sheep Husbandry a Necessity.
Sheep husbandry is a necessity. There
is no substitute fur the auiuial with the
t-goldeu hoofs"?none which can so cheaply
? - supply the elementary wants of a dense pop''
nJation. France has as many as souls in the
''' empire. Kngland could almost as safely
part with the air breathed by one-fourth of
.-her people as with her sheep?the meat,
wool, hides and manure they yield; and
t '"while we are glad to see lar^l flocks trans*
*ferrcd to and established on the plains of
?Jobr:iska, Kansas and other sparsely populated
States and Territories uf the West, the
. older States where lands have lost their virgin
freshness and fertility can* ill afford to
I submit to further reduction. The great bulk
of the best wootgrowu in the world is grown
by small flocks in the midst of the most
densely, peopled-regions. It is so now in
the United States, and so it will continue
:* do be. On the whole, therefore, we look in
the futuro of the- woolen industry hopefully

Great Bee Fight.
From tlio Jackson, Teun.j Way and Tribune
of a late date wo gather the following
, interesting item of the resentment and courage
of the honey bee:
' Captain Brown of this city recently robbed
three hives, and Dr. West, a neighbor,
robbed four. The bees, thus deprived of
tlic fruits of their labor, became furious;
and "uniting, making an army of seven hives,
they invaded the premises of Mr. Horace
Bledsoe, and make a fierce attack on five
1 - ' of his hives. Bledsoe's bees wore takon hv
surprise, and although outnumbered fought
' for their homes with desperation. The battle
lasted several hours, and four hives of
Bledsoe were Htterally destroyed. me invaders
were finally repulsed, after being almost
annihilated. The ground for yards
around was black with the dead. Mr. Bledsoe,
although a serious loser, buried the dead
warriors with the honors of war. Few of
the invaders survived the battle, and from
out of five of the defending hives four were
destroyed, It was the bloodiest bee battle
on record, and deserves to be handed down
to posterity.
Mr. James D. Tatum, of Mississippi, has
discovered that martins will destroy the
millers who deposit the eggs which produce
tho destructive boll worm. lie tried it, and
found not one worm in 100 acres of cotton.

she took your pills, since which she has had no

Ayer's Sarsaparilla,
fOB PUBIIYEVO IHE BLOOD.
The reputation this excellent
medicine enjoys,
is derived from its cores,
A many of which arc truly
Ar*. marvellous. Inveterate
Ar cases of Scroftilous dls/r
f.'ii ca80> where ^ system
V5I ./Mi seemed saturated with.
corruption, have beta.
J0H5 purified and cured by it.
Scrofulous affections and
disorders,which were aggravated
by the scroftK
* >'* fou8 contamination until
' they were painfully afflicting, have been radically
cured in such great numbers in almost every section
of the country, tlint the publio scarcely need,
to be informed of Its virtues or uses.
Scrofulous poison Is one of the most destructive
enemies of our race. Often, this unseen and
unfelt tenant of the organism undermines the constitution,
and iuvitcs the attack of enfeebling or fatal
diseases, without exciting a suspicion of it*
presence.- Again, it seems to breed infection,
throughout the body, and then, on some favornbl?
occasion, rapidly develop iuto one or other of its
hideous forms, cither on the surface or among the
vitals. In the latter, tubercles may bo suddenly

in the liver, or it shows its uresouco by eruptions
on the skin, or foul ulcerations on some part of
the body. Ifence the' occasional use of ? bottleof
this Sarsaparilla is advisable, even when no
active symptoms of disease appear. Persons afflicted
with the following complaints generally
find immediate relief, ana, at length, cure, by tho
use of this WAB8A1'ABILLA: St. Anthony'*
Fire, Hose or Erysipelas, Tetter, Salt
Bheum, Scald JTead, Blngtcorm, Sore Eye*,
Sore Ears, and other eruptions or visible forms
of Scrofulous disease. Also in the more concealed
forms, as Dyspepsia, Dropsy, Heart
Disease, Fits, Epilepsy, Feuralgia, and.
the various Ulcerous affections of the muscular
and nervous systems.
Syphilis or Venereal and Mercurial Diseases
are cured by it. though a long time is required
for subduing these obstinate maladies by
any medicine. But long-continued use of this
medicine will cure tho complaint. Leueorrhcea
or Whites, Uterine Ulcerations, and Female
Diseases, aro commonly soon relieved and ultimately
cured by its purifying and invigorating
effect. Minute directions lor each case are fonnd
In our Almanac, supplied gratis. Bheumatisns
and Oout, when caused by accumulations of extraneous
matters in the blood, yield quickly to it,
as alse Liver Complaints, Torpidity, Congestion
or Inflammation of the liver, and Jaundice,
when arising, as they often do, from tho
rankling poisons in the blood. This SAB8A?
F Alt ILL A is a great restorer for the strength
and vigor of the system. Those who are Languid
and Listless, Despondent, Sleepless,
and troubled with Ferrous Apprehensions or
Fears, or any of the affections symptomatic of
Weakness, will flud immediate relief and convincing
evidence or its restorative power upon
trial.

offer in the Piedmont and Arlington a solid and reliable Insurance Company, thoroughly
Southern, in the hands of men of the highest integrity, with abundant assets, recent risks, the
most secure of nil investments, pledged to retain within tho State of South .Carolina all funds accruing
therein, and, indeed, presenting every advantage that can be desired.
We confidently appeal to every one interested in Southern prosperity to look fothcir own inter*
ests by sustaining their own institutions, and thereby- establish that self-confidenoe without
which there can be no permanent prosperity. Bear iit tuind that already over $10,000,000 are
annually sent North for Life Insurance, taking so much from our strength and thereby giving ad-,
ditional power to our competitors. 'J. u .Right

people very heavily in the Inte war, uuil should make tkeiu sock the only company that provide
against such contingency in the future. . . . , . "
From an offieiul exhibit, it is shown that the Piedmont and Arlington had 'ft greater increase of
business in 1809 over 1808 than any company on this continent. It shows that there were only
three companies in the United States that issued more policies; also, that, with their accumulatetf
risks of fifteen or twenty years all combined, this company, though young, stands twentieth in
amount of risks in force. . . , if. fu,n
