An CKteemed yoiing fnrmer friend told n* on 8atiir»l*y thath^Intertdi^S double hU cotton ayrenKO next venr. Aow If ho will treble or quadruple hU grain acnwge we will admit that hla 1. inedicino Is good, but no-, otherwise. Ills trawns for adopting th«t policy of expansion arc founded Vavtly on fact and the balance on ful h. , Althongii ho has bought part of the corir and meat supply foe, his planta tion hla books .show thfft ho cleared pome money on live cents cottoa last year, that lie m^de more on eight cents cotton this season and we susyect that he anticipates still letter r* suits from Ids plan of inflation In ISHO. lie argues that cotton can be grown uior^cheapiyf In Houtli Carolina than any wftore elab nnd fiom tills prcuiiae draws the con* ~'chisioTtour folks should loake aJl LhHt they can. - * We hope that his great expectations will ho realized,’ but our understand ing of the pa*t, prcpcnt aml future of cotton culture and control of prices makes usdoub ful. Our friend has line lauds, personal tact for management of labor, steam engine energy, Intense love of country life and ambition to •■qual the auAjeoffos of the planters, of our olden tfraa*. These factor* ftHtbr ■jsi — favor have euablej him to make head way uphill while hundreds of others not so well equipped have made ship- wreck of years of labor and' the t'apllal with which they began the game. And If lie will count the vexation of spirit, the wear and tear of Ix^ly and brain that he has endured he will probably be convinced that he has , pnid a high price for the moderate success ho has secured. We have before us the Album of Ag ricultural Statistics, prepared by Sta tistician J. H. bodge and issued by the Department of Agriculture, Washing ton. It gives the values per acre of ihs emp* of the United Matos, the average of the ten consecutive years from 1*K<> to issi), Inclusive, being made the basis of comparison. The production of corn during that period was U.4 bushels per acre in South < arollns, 113 In Mississippi, 10 In Louisiana, 1!) 7 in Arkansas and 13 in Texas, bo the Western cotton States h*re the advantage of greater corn production per acre over their older Eastern sisters. The cotton production durl> g the same period of ton years Is given,at loT.H pounds of lint in this State, 11U.4 iu Mississippi, 202.7 in Louisans, 220.3 In Arkansas and lbil.1 In Texas, show ing that they have also the advantage in oottonjpfoductlon. Now, according to our understand ing, these South Western Slates make their corn and cotton and all other crops without the use of commercial or home made, fertilizers, even selling their cotton seed to the mlU» iu prefer ence to putting them In their Helds. As foTtiiS~other cost -of—proJnctlnnt- wnges Ac,, we admit that we aro not posted, but take It that on rich lands the cotton grows oft - more quickly than on exhausted soils nuJ therefore needs less cultivation. We have beard that as much as a dollar n hundred pounds has been paid for picking, but that la hardly the general rule. We have also heard that they ofteu thresh down and plow in, on rich lands, as much cotton • per acre as ths hills produce In the old* er btales, while with us every bit is gathered. (To he Continued ) Educational Ins ittttiona. / The Constitutional Convention has adopted an ordinance to postpone the next, regular session of Uiq General As sembly from th« fourth Tuesday In November, 1805, to the second Tuesday In January, 180(5, and autliorlzijig the Governor to issue his proclamation to that effect. Grand Jury presentments are not generally productive of good or useful results, but tho recommendation made last weak that a (Iro proof room be ,luillt for the safe keeping of tho records of the\ lerk and Kegistor’s oQice should be an exception to the rule. The County Hoard of Commissioners will doubfless give the matter consider ation at the Jaminrv meeting, ? In the discussion of tho ordinance re lating to Education In the Convention last week lion. A. Howard i’attcrsoa said: M r. President: “The value of a thing Is (he need of It,”, and having been so unfortunate as not to have obtained a collegiate, education In my youth I therefore realise the Importance of the subject under discussion If there Is one tiling that I am heartily In favor of It is^o provide for tha education of the hoys and girls of otlr blare. When I came to this Convention I was asked by the President what committees 1 de sired to go upon, and 1 promptly re plied buffrsge and Education, because I knew that they went hand In hand, and that if we wished tomalntaln white supremacy In bouth Carolina we must educate our boys. The chairman > of the Commlttee-on Education tu the 0{>enlng of his re mark* on yesterday »poke beautifully of tbe Japanese Unlver»ity at Toklo, comparing it ton sun, which sent Its life giving rays to the hills and valleys of Japan, using this simile as an argu ment that it is best to build your col leges first and that this will encourage you to maintain. the common schools. I cannot agree with the chairman upon this point, as nature Jtffiobe* us that you musscommefice at the bottom tlrst, tho child must crawl before he can walk. It would be folly to send a boy to col lege Irefbre he could read and u rite. I>t Tilin Tttmb the ladder of fame'.gradually, round by round. I Now, M r. President, because I differ wnfh the. chairman of the coininittee as to w hat Is most important to the educa tion of the y outh of our .State, the col lege-or the common schools, I do not wish you to think that 1 am op|M>sed to the maintenance of our higher institu tions of learning, for I am heartily In fay or of supporting them. They rep resent to us not only one sun bu& live suns, whose rays of light and learning penetrate every .portbuj of fiiiyEtat^. thereby encouraging th* boys nnd girls* to seek aft^r ITgher education. Of these we have the bouth Carolina Col- fegw, whose history we are proud,of for Its aluHinl have not only graced the bepch of this State, the balls of tills building, but the halls of CongTess with ability and learning Inferior to none in the laud. Then comes next the Citadel Academy, yHlch teaches our youth the art of war and w hose gradu ates have left a name of fame upon the pages of history that every South Caro linian should be proud of. 1 hope thati it w ill continue p> be one of our Insti tutions of learning “Until the war drum throbs no lo ger And tlie battle Hags are furled.” Then we have Clem-on College, w hich teaches our boys the science of farming; also Clafliu College to edu cate the colored youths; and last but flr>t in importance ip the heatts of our people we have the Industrial College f >r the girls of our State, which Insures education for the chltdreu of our State, for If you educate the mothers the chil dren will be educated. Now, Mr. President, while I am heartily In favor of maintaining these higher Institutions of learning, yet sir. 1 would rather sec them razed to the ground than not to have the common schools built up and liberally support ed. for, sir, only the rich and those who are in moderate circumstances can af ford to send their children to these in stitutions, while the poor are shut out from llieni by a Chinese wall—poverty. Yet the taxes of the poor man go to the support of these higher institution*. Go with me out into the rural districts and see the hundreds of poor farmer boys that arc growing up to manhood with all tin duties aad responsibilities of citizenship upon them, and who al though tltyy have the desire yet have not the me: ns to l obtain a common school education, and which the Mate has not provided for them. As John son says: ’ “This patnful truth stands every where confessed, "Slow riacs'AviiTtti by poverty depressed.- Married, nt'tbo residence‘of Mr. \Y. E-Greene, N'ov. lJtU |l395, by T.vv. A.

THeks will Hud life but one long reality «>f perfect happiness aid unclouded prosperity. These Iwy*, the son* of men that have always responded to every eall that South Carolina has made upon them, both In war and iu peace. They are tho ones that pav their taxes as long as they have a dollar to pay them with. It is a well known fart that tbe poor men pay their taxes first and the rich postpone paying theirs as long as pos sible. The eyes of the whole State are upon us. They are expecting us to do something for the education of die poor, and especially so since we have adopted an educational qualification, The present manner In which the common' schools are rhn Is a stench in the nostrils of our peuple and a dis grace to the State. We cannot run our public schools for a longer period un less we have more money. The schools now me only run lor a period of one and two mouths by the funds realized from the general school levy and poll tax. 1 am therefore in favor of a three mill tax levy belug placed In the Cdn- sUtuliou for the support of the public scUools. Until tbe committee’s report and my substitute provide for the levy of three mills and fora supplementary or equalization tax. Until are upon the same principle’ hut differ as to how these taxes aro to be collected and dis bursed. 1 do not believe that we should state iu the Constitution that the school fund sliou’d be distributed by certain oUlcers in a certain way, for wc should leave this to be provided for by the leg islature. We should not go into gen eral details in a Constitution as the coathiil.tee’s report provides. There is n great nnd strong desire on the part of .our people to have the right to des ignate the school that they < esTre thrlr taxes applied to and to accomplish this purpose, t-bough the committee’* report will permit of these .constituted school oftloer.#provldetl for in tho report to be pandamused If they make any discrim »tion between the two race* iu the tnirscmentof the school funds.
