some thing radically wrong In

poorer. The explanation 1* this, they
as a rale bought nothing but sugar and
coffee, salt and iron, and a lew clothes,
while they told erery thing, flour, meat
and corn, in addition to their cotton.
We sell nothing hut cotton and boy
everything, even axes and hoe helves,

laud has been negroes who belonged
to themselves But even if they be

in thus sterilizing our farmers by con-
staat tillage in cotton, and have noth

but a little reflection will cause any
fair-minded man to acknowledge that
it l* not overdrawn. If any one, alter

are desperately "sick" aud in need of
a physician, he must be blind indeed
Taking into consideration, then, the
natnre of our lands—their friable
texture and broken character—I pjaltc
the assertion that we are committing a
crime akin to suicide to continue longer
onr preseQt system; and not to devote
our energies entirely to stock raising,
as being the only method by which we
can derive any income from our lands
without, at the same time, losing as
mush or more from tbs washing away
of the soil than the profit on the crop
cultivated amounts to. Aud ‘ thW
brings mo back to my snbject—“Is the
rotation of crops a benefit to IniKi?
And if so, what rotation is liesl adapter
to our immediate section?” To ths
first proposition I answer emphatically
yes; and will proceed fo give the
reasons why.
i’lants, like animals, differ much in,
thpir habit* aud in the dlfterciict sort*
of food upoh which they subsist. 'Hie
broad leafed clovers, turnips and peas
obtain much of their nourishment from
the air; while the narrow leafei
grains aud grasses—especially if their
seeds , are rinened—withdraw mainly
mineral fooa from the soil. The
oererls require large supplies of phos
phoric acid and silica for their healthy
nutrition. The Ivegnmes require lime;
and turnips, clover and potatoes take,
up a great amount of ]>otash. Some
crops, as clover and pe&s, feed on the
subsoil from having a Up-root, and
thus bring up stores of fertility from
below, which they store near the.sui-
face. Indian corn and the small grains
being surface-rooted plants, derive
their substence from near the surface.
Indian corn, when sown in peas, the
small grains, peas sown alone, clover
and the grasses tend to keep up a
■aapiy of humus; while cotton our
principal crop heretofore, requires
clean cnltnre so late in the summer as
to allow no other growth on the land
and leaves it bare the whole time, thus
exposing it to the washing rains of
both winter and summer. If it were
not for the constant washing and
leaching, cotton—which practically on
our hilly lands will impoverish a field
sooner than any other crop—would be
tho least exhaustive of any we could
{Hunt continuously; provided the seed
were returned to the land aud stock
kept o ff it. The reason for this is :
The lint which is sold is nearly all
carbon, a five hundred pound bale Only
containing five pounds of mineral!eie-
menta or ash, while the rest of those
elements'' 1 )nken from the,toil remain
ou the form in tho seed. A crop of
corn, or oats, or wheat, of equal money
value to a bale of oottofi, would' re
move several tiroes as much of these
mineral elements as the bale of cotton
without the seed. But if those crops
ore consumed on the farm and tfie
manure saved as it should be, they
will not exhaust the land as soon as
the. cotton, simply because they are
humus-producing instead of humus-
destroying crops; tytd as they do not
leave the land baro all the time, tend
to keep it from washing, which is the
source of the greatest loss of fertility to
as.
Euery one knows that a new ground
will not wash under three or tour years
no matter how steep (lie hillside may
be. If. then, by a proper rotation, we
could keep our lands charged with
humus, they would never wash to
injure; and it would seem but tlie
diotafu of common sente to endeavor
fo to mangge oar farms as to keep up
* supply of this all-important con-*
stituent. But we do not do this, be
cause we 'plant cofton continuously,
almost, therefore we are not follow
ing the dictates of common sense; and
this too, in the face of the tact which
wc all admit, that there is no money
in it. But suppose our lands were
tvrel and did not wayjf. To plant any
one crop continuously on the same
field wonid be poor farming, and final
ly reduoe that field to a state of bar
renness os regards that crop, unless an
oqoivoient of all the mineral elements
removed oaeh was ratnrned to the soil
auonally; and in addition thereto as
much vegetable matter as had been
token up or evaporated bv tho sun.
Bat to return this vegetable matter to
large fields is impracticable. They
cannot be treated like pet patches, and
the problem is how to keep np the
supply of humus. It can only be
done by growing it on the land. This
ia both the easiest and the cheapesst
wav. But if, white growing this veg
etable nutter, we con at the same tlm?

ptetely exhausted. What folly,
then, to pursue a system of forming
which quickest robs the land of tlT
important snbstsuoe, and soon pots the
best field in sach a condition that no
amount of fertiliser* Or guanos can
yield good crape of cottou or
corn, when there fs not sufficient
humus In the soli those mineral ma
nures only cause crops to fire or buru
up if there is at any time a lack of
moisture; and if there is rain sufficient
cotton rusts or sheds its fruit, and corn
fires. Oats, rye, clover and pea# are the
only plant*, with which I am acqnaint-
cd, wnlcli are said to yield maximum
crops on soils comparatively exhausted
of vegetable matter, provided the min
eral elements are present in abundance
These are all humus-producing crops,
and can be made to yield an income
while supplying humus for future
crops of corn and cotton.
But here conies in the question
“How are we to obtain these mineral
manures?” 'They cost money and our
worn out fields cannot yield ns
living and buy onr guanos too, with
which to raise only oats, rye and peas.
Grsgited; hot they certainly will not
much longer do that in cotton, cither;
and but for the continued clearing of
the old worn out fields we would have
long since touched bottom, and now
be in a desperate condition indeed.
Luckily most of us have spine good land
yet left, and we should husband it as
shipwrecked sailor does his last loaf.
For if we Shall regain onr reason and
commence a rational system of farmin;
these few remaining acres of good Ian
will enable us to bridge over the time
which must elapse ere we could expect
to obtain an income from other sources
than cotton. If we will concentrate
qur efforts upon this good land —and
What Is more, concentrate the manure
upon it too—by proper rotation we
uun keep it good and nse the income
from it to build up the rcat of our
tends whiqh are now too poor to pay
for cultivating. There is not a farmer
in this neighborhood who does not
year after year cultivate, nr allow
renters to cultivate, land which he
knows to be too poor to repay the
expense of working,the best of seasons,
and the good land tie works has to
carry this poor land, ami his profits
are thus lessened or entirely test. 'Ve
have been using our bruins too littls,
and following in old ruts without con
sidering whither they are leading us.
There is not now, and never has been
in our county, a single man who has
more than a vague conception of tbe
possibilities of an acre of land thor
oughly a^d properly worked.

WAR HISTORY.
What Q«aeral Hampton Claims for HU
Lafftoa at Maaaaaaa.
The Aetrs and Courier publishes &
long letter from General W*fic IIamp
ton, correcting errors in'irticles of
Generals Johnston and .lasboden,
touching the first battle of Manassas, or
Bull Run. General Hampton shows
that the Hampton Legion, 600 strong,
which he commanded, arrested the
victorious columns of Sherman and
Keys, who were driving the Confeder
ate forces back, and that the Legion *o
delayed the Federal advance as to ena
ble the Confederate reinforcements to
be brought up. The JVe»ci and Cou
rier gives an elaborate review of the
battle, the history of which, it claims,
must now be rewritten. Its conclu
sion is that Hampton was to Jackson
and Manaso&s what Jackson was to tbe
whole Confederate left—Hampton
saved Stonewall Jackson, as Jackson
saved the army. It was the magnifi
cent fighting of the Legion under terri
ble odds that gave Jackson time to
bring bis troops into position. Had he
not had time to form the Yirginians,
who afterwards stood like a stone
wall, the battle would have been in
evitably lost. The • opportunity to
form those Virginians was given to
Jackson by Hampton and his men, and
was given by them alone. ,

I have suffered for years with au

would be useless, which were both
uaiuful and annoying. All other rem

After tbe use of several bottles I was
entirely cured. My skin is now as

as my father was similarly affected.
He hrad fclso been entirely cured. I

I can vouch for it. It is all it claims

There has been considerable excite
ment for several days past ith Henry
county, Va., in the vicitiitr of Martins
ville, over a mystery involved in the
death of Mrs. &. L. Stone, Jr., who
was found dead last Monday ana soon
thereafter was buried. Suspicion of
foul play being aroused, the body was
exit timed and a coroner’s investigation
begun. An autopsy showed that de
ceased was in a perfectftily healthy
condition. A large number of wit
nesses were examined, and on Satnr-
day the coroner’s jury rendered a ver
dict that Mrs. Stone came to her death
from cruel and brutal treatment at the
hands of her husband and his father,
G. L. Stone, Sr. Both father and sou
have been committed to jail to await
tho action of tbe grand jury. The
evidence shows that the deceased was
tortured to death by the most shame-
natfriral tr
treatment.
