A Word with Planters.
Another crop has hoen gathered, and,!
with few exceptions, disposed of, and (
you are about to begin another year's'
operations. lJefore perfecting your plans,!
which, with farmers who have any plans I
at -at!, an* generally as unalterable as
the laws of the Mcdcs and Persians.;
perhaps it would be well to consider (
thoroughly the policy you think of adopt-1
iag?v.hetheror not by pursuing it your
condition at the cud of the year, when
nil nnn/ nnla It.lVO llCfll SOttlcJ Ulld tile
balance sheet made, will be improved.
What course hive you followed for
several years past ? Very likely many
of you have planted every available foot
of productive ground in cotton, and a
few acres of barren ujdan 1 in corn, j
while 3051 have given no attention what !
ever to the growing of small grain or;
the raising of stock. If )ou have done
tills, your corn cribs and smoke-houses
have been in Camden, Charleston, or
Baltimore?they have certainly not been
on your own premises, where they should j
!).>?your cotton has been sold and [
the price fixed before it was;
planted and, as an inevitable con-1
sequence, you have found yourselves
poorer at the end of every year. Well,;
if such has been your misfortune in j
previous years, can you, with the low j
price of cotton painfully Leluro your I
eyes, hope fur any better result this j
year, unless you change your course !'>
N'o; it is iuipo?sib!o. So prepare t<>
grow your own grain, an I to raise your;
-
own stock, and have your cribs and
smoke-houses on your own premises,
and keep them yourselves, instead of in
distaut cities, where they are kept by \
parties who regard not your interests I
except in so far us their own are con-1
corned. Do this, and twelve months
hence, ^you will Ituve money ia your
pockets, and cuongli provisions on hand
to "ruu you another year."
Primary Elections.
Several of our State exchanges arc '
discussing the subject of primary c!cc-;
lion." as the best and west satisfactory
mode for making nominations for public
offices. We have always live rod whatever
plan that would come nearest to
meeting the wishes of the voters, and. j
as in primary elections evrry voter
would have an opportunity to indicate
bi- choice of candidates, there i* no
reason why the harmony and unify o!'j
tSi?t party should tut be promoted there-1
by.
Agricultural Supplies.
A Liii to enable planters to secure
. I
advance* for agricultural purposes is
now before the I^<-jrij?1at?ii<?, and yeslcr-'
day was sot apart as the day for its con- j
sidcration. Some provision sliou'd bo
made for the teli?,'of farmers, thousands :
of whom will be unah!j to op- rate thiyear
unhss something is done for them I
by I initiative enactment.
The Taxes.
The subject of another State tax i?i
just now a matter that may he discuss-!
ed, not by the Legislature alone, but by
the tax-payers generally. It is evident
to any cue who observes at all that another
tax cannot he paiJ by the masses
of the people until they shall have
gathered another crop; but the State
government must nevertheless be sun-1
.?.?i .1.t'limncr What is I
mine* uuuiin ?MV .
to bi; done in the emergency is the
ijucation. We cut from the Wiiuitboro
iVtiri awl I/crahl the timely fallowing
editorial on the subject:
There is no one in the State so insane
r.s to believe that another tax can be j
paid this spring, yet tt is equally absurd <
to suppose that the State government j
eau be maintained without money.
How to extricate themselves from this
dilemma, is perplexing the Legislature
'J'bis suggestion is therefore made to
thrill grulitft
The levy should be reduced to the
lowest possible figure, of couise, and
should be inude | -ayaible i.i two instalments?one
fourth in the spring and
the balance in t lie fall. J lot ad if
charging iutcrc&t oil tlie first instalment
if not paid, as was the method ad pted
la-1 pear, let the fifteen p? r cent, pnjuity 1
mi the iiist installment attach as soon as j
the last day for p?yin?r it bans expired;'
but the property should not be declared
delinquent until after the cxpiiation of
the time for pnjiog ilrj other initalinent.
It is rather preposterous to
rhargc interest on taxes,especially since
the adoption of the usury law, and the
imposition of the penalty is the tru**
theory. The operation of this proposed
plan will be satisfactory. There are at
number of capitalists who will pay their j
instalments to avoid incurring any pen
a!ty, and the money thus collected will
.support the government during the
summer. Tnoso who have no fund.- 1
can let the penalty attach, and pay the I
whole amount in the fall. Ttio penalty |
of fiftceu per cent, on one-fourth of the
tax will be bait one-fourth of fifteen per
cent , or three and three-fourths per
cent, on the eatiro tax. To illustrate:
if the tax on A s property is one hundred
dollars, ho is ictjuircd to pay
twenty-live dollars iu the spring, and
tfbliart In lift fall. If bl ?
fails to meet tho first instalment, a pen- i
ally of three dollars and seventy-live ; ]
cents will be charged against hiin. and j ,
in the fall he pays his one hundred and ;'
throe dollars and seventy-five cents
At ten mills, one hundred dollars repre- J
sents ten thousand dollars, while the t
whole tax with the j?ena!ty attached is ;,
but ten and three-eighths mills, the',
three eighths of a mill being the price;
fixed by the tax payer for the privilege l(
of postponing payment /until another!
crop comes in. For a ten dollar tax,: |
the pjivilege will cost but thirty-seven i
and a half cents.
Last year the instalments were half ,1
and half, but as a greater number can , 1
pay one-fourth than one-half, the addi-:
tioual individual payments may, in the ,
aggregate realize more than by requiring
one half. This is an equitable j
adjustment, and it should be accepted 1
by all parties.
I
Stateburgr.
We take the following from tiic bum- ,
ter TV iie Southron : ,
The residence of the late James ,
Caldwell, at Statcburg, was destroyed
l>y fire on Monday night, the 7ih it?>t.
It is supposed to have been fired by an ;
inceiuitary, us u was unocvupieu ai mu.
time.
We regret to learn of a sad accident 1
in the vicinity of Stateburg on Friday,
the 11th ins'aiit, resulting in the instant
killing of Adville Mitchell, uran 1
son <>f Mr. Wtn J. Atkinson, lie was
with some other boys in the woods, ami,
their dogs having run an opossum into j
a hollow log. he !aiJ his gun down while
ihey were trying to run the animal out. I
When it ran out of the other end of the!
log, he endeavored, hurriedly, to get
his gun to shoot it, hut the hammer i
caught on something, and the load was
disihargcd into his forehead.
Federal and Slate Elections.
From the Chester correspondence of
the Yorkviile JJmjuim- -co clip the fol-j
lowing concerning a bill which seeks to |
correct a well-known evil, and which
will likely be acted up m at the present,
session of the Legislature :
Judge Mackey has drafted a bill to be
presented to the Legislature, which provides
that the balloting for Federal arid

les for two Hoards of Manag- rs and i
Commissioners?one Jhard to fake!
charge of elect ions for Federal officios,;
and the oilier Hoard to lake charge nl'j
the election for iS'utc officers. The biil j
provides that the polling placis for the;
two sets of officers slou! ie some d islanco
apuit, and not under the same!
roof. The object of the bill, it is nppa- i
rent, is to secure an tntiro separation of:
flic election fir Federal nffic* rs from
the diction fo' State officers, so (hat the '
supervisors and marshals who, according
to an net of C ingress, have the right!
to supervise the <lc?tion for nicmbcrs of;

have no right, or r- ason, or pretext, for
interfering with elections for candidates!
