JHE CAMDEN JOURNAL. ' W. D. TUANT1IAM & J T HAY, EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS. MARCH 5, 1874. This Year with the Farmers. The time is now at hand wheu planters isually set about preparing their lands for :he crops which they propose to grow upon them during the present year, and a word of advice, as to what they should plant most, largely, may not be altogether out of p^ce. Hitherto, the people of our Southern country have given their attention almost entirely to the production of cotton, to the * " *1 *- -? c ?l ;f exclusion oi ocuer aruuiea ui vijuin ? j greater importance. Many, we have no doubt, believe that it is their only means of living. For several years, the staple commanded remunerative prices, and wo ail prospered. But when we thought ourselves most secure, tho panic came, the i price of cotton at once declined to a point far below the actual cost of its production, and all have been set back many years in tboir business operations. Tho losses have, indeed,.been serivus, and in some cases well nigh irreparable, but they can bo repaired, if a lesson bo learned from the experience of-tho past. It is cotton, as much as anything else, that is to day making paupers of our people. In a very large majority of instances, those .vho make the growing of cotton a specialty are now, and will* continue to be until they change their course, slaves to their factors, and tho victims of bankers, stock gamblers, &c., 'who, by their manipulations, control tiie money market. The crop of 1873 was an uncommonly large one, aud yet how few did not sink money in its production ? What assurances have we that the same state of affairs will not exist at any timo in the future ? Other things being equal, the demand is always inversely as the supply, and if we raise only two million bales, the returns therefor will be nearly as large as they are for our four millions: So a largo erop does not benefit the producers so much as ono would suppose. What, thee, can bo the policy that prompts the expending of all our means in the production of a large crop of cotton, the price of which per pound ia diminished in proportion as the crop is a largo ono, whilo our smoke-houses and corn cribs are in Charleston and Baltimore ? Such a policy is suicidal, to say the least of it. But say some, our lauds and our climate aro peculiarly adapted to the raising of cotton, and we do not wish to give it up. While this is true, it is also true that our soil is so various and our climate so genial and favoring, that almnafc evarvthinff needed for man or beast j 'grown advantageously by us. The hay, which is brought from tho North aud sold to us at two dollars per hundred, could be raised at home at a coat uot exceeding one-fourth of that amount. The corn, the flour, for which we -are made to pay from one to two hundred per cent, upon their original cost, could bo raised at home with but little more trouble aud expense than they are in tho North aud Northwest. Aud .our shoes, and cotton and woolen fabrics could bo manufactured at a less expense than any where else in the world. Thou why do our planters continue to invest their all in the production of cotton ? \V liy louger pursue a course which couipols thcui to give liens upon their crops to factors and merchants, to pay two prices for their supplies, to soli their cottou at a sacrifice, and, in the cud, to iind themselves in a condition infinitely worse than if they hud folded their arms and done nothing during the whole year ? A j nu fliou- nliint nntfnn tliev will iO iVU^j HO illVJ J/1MWV ^ have to give lien# iu order to secure advances ; and as long as they give liens, they cannot prosper. Lot the experience of the past bo utilized, so us to compel ui.-courageuients to contribute future triumphs. Let our planters learn a lesson from what they have already undergone, and immediately tako steps to avoid being again forced to carry like burdens. Let us all manifest more outerprise, avail ourselves of the blessings of Providence, look moro to our real inter-j ?eats, depart from the groove* in which we have been accustomed to move, or at ill greater di.-asters will befall us. The Legislature. Still eoatinues In session, no time for adjourniueit having yet been fixed. Considerable time was consumed in the discussion of the Memorial of the Taxpayers' Conventiol iu reference to amending the tax laws, vhich matter was settled by the odoptiun o* the following resolution : lirtoli That 11*0 Memorial bo referred to a special committee of seven, with instruction to report a bill to alter and amend lb? law in relation to the assessment aul tollcctiou of taxes iu this State. | Tito qoomittee consists of P. Simkine, E. W. 21. ^lackey, J. 1>. Boston, James A. Bowiey, T. Hurley, Gabriel Cannon, and 3. -rcen. It is thought that the whole nochinery of the tax law will be changed. A Bill has passed W regulate the assessment ant collection of taxes in Aluriou County, iu response to a protest of tiioj people of tint county against the unja-t, ^essn.eiits t'unt had been imposed upon i tbvn. A bill baa been inlroduoed to pay a i claim of ?8d7.U2t>.2i, held against the State by E. 1>. Wesley, of New York. A bill to pay claims to the amount of 8215,000, held by J. "Woodruff and A. 0. Jones, Trustees, was defeated in the Senate by a vote of 20 to 8. The House is discussing the tax levy for the next fiscal year, which at present is fixed at 12 mills. We hope that mod. erutc counsels will prevail, as our people cannot staud another levy as heavy as that ui^der which wc arc now staggering. Six Regents have been elected for the State Lunatic Asylum, viz.: S. J. Leo, Robt. Smalls, Gen. Gabriel Cannon, A. A. Hnyne. J. M.Smith, t.id N. T. Spencer. Gabriel Cannon and J. M. Smith arc white, the rest colored men. Thomas Steers has presented a petition fertile payment of$250,000, which he claims that the State owes him for work on the Blue Ridge Railroad. Rev. John Bachnian, Ph. D., D. D., L. L. D., well known as a Lutheran miuister of Charleston, and a distinguished naturalist, died in that city, on Tuesday, 24th ult., in the S5th year of his age. Extract from the Atlanta Herald, Feb. 1st 1874. GEOEGIA STATE AGRI'L SOCIETY 1 Secy's Offiiee, Atlanta Ga. Jan. 117,1874. j To the Editors of the Herald: At the last mooting of the State Agricultural Society, there was imposed upon the Secretary the duty of obtaining samples of all Coinmerical Fertilizers exposed for sale in this State, ami sending the same to the Analytical Chemist in the State College of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts at Athens, for analysis and estimation of value. I have, therefore, obtained and sent to the Choniist, Prof. While, samples of most of the leading Guanos aud Phosphates, that are sold iu this State. It is proper to say here thai these samples were taken by myself in person, from the bulk, in the warehouse where they were stored, and put in nir-t ight glass jars. The analyses were made by number, the Chemist not knowing the name of the article oj from whom it was obtained. The names ot ihe Fertilizers, correspondent with the nuuibt i sent to the Chemist, were preserved iu my office. I have received from the Laboratory of tho State College the following result ol the analyses of Fertilizers, as shown in tht inclosed report of Prof. White. The calcula tion of the Commercial value, includiny proji oil manufacture, gives as the cash value, foi which the article should be sold in Savannah as follows: Eli wan Dissolved Bone per ton $41 81 Etiwun Guano 44 44 41 Ot Soluble Pacific Guano 44 44 SI 7i Sea Fowl Guano 44 44 47 W English Dissolved Bono " " 47 8S Putapsco Guano 44 " -5 1i Chesapeake Guano " 44 32 3: Very Respectfully M.

In fact, it is so on the Cotton Kxfluiigo.as in other bti iness circles, any new drii't is, when discovered, certain to bo followed to the extreme conclusion, to b followed by more or less r action. It was discovered that the later months, and especially the summer months, were relatively higher than cotton on the spot. There bad been more disposition to buy for June and July, and it was felt that the risks arising from the possible success of tho scheme of indation, a fulling oil" in receipts, or bad weather for the next crop, were such that it was di&cull to sell them except at pretty full prices. The result was, that while low middling was quoted on the spot at 13J cents, it was sold for Jnly as high as 171 cents. Therefore to sell for July, purchase cotton for cash and make provisions for carrying it till it should become available far delivery on contracts for th? Infer mouths, was said to secure a certain though moderate profit. Hut action on tills point broke July down ?e, while spots fell off only lc, and we hoard nothing ol'it after Tuesday evening. 'There / I was, however, considerable done during Wednesday and Thursday, iu exchanging contracts lor delivery in early months, to those which did not call fur the cotton till May or the summer months, aud large quantities of cotton have been shipped to Liverpool on consignment. But legitimate business in cotton on the spot has beeti kept within seasonable limits. In the mean time stocks have become excessive at all points, and shipments on consignment must be resorted to as a measure of relief, ] unless our holders are prepared to throw themselves without reserve into the arms of the expert buyers. The cuurse of receipts has been a disappointment to operators for a rise. Those of last Sat urday encouraged them a good . deal, but the lareo receipts on Monday ' from New Orleans, aud Savannah on Tuesday, were quito demoralizing, and left theui without a peg to hang a hope upon; and for (he remainder of the week they seemed inclined to accept the situation, the lowest prices having been made on 7 Friday afternoon. The opening on Saturday was more steady, but without much activity. The weather has been bad at the South. Heavy rains have fallen in the eutiro cot- . ton-growing region. Preparation of the / soil for planting will therefore be delayed. Lut it is, of course, too early for any serious inconvenience to be felt on this account. The trade in cotton goods seems to bo in an unsatisfactory condition. A disgraceful scene occurred in the Supreme court of Mississippi sitting at Jack- ^ son, on the 9th inst, in which the Chief Justice of the State was the prominent Q actor. The members of the court were about leaving the consultation-room for | the court-room when Chief Justice Peyton suggested a delay that lie might proceed to designate a reporter to the court, to fill ] a vacancy. Justice Tar bell dissented to the proposition, when angry words passed betweeen the justices. Justice Tarbell made a movement toward Judgo Peyton, ^ when the latter at once prepared for action. With a promptness and celerity that would do 110 discredit to a much younger man, lie at once drew his knife and ''presented arms to Justice Tarbell, and but for t the prompt interference of Justica Simrail. it is believed that the floor of the torn . pie of justice would have been stained hy i the blood of one of its own ministers.
