Asked why they answer that the Ta Heels and Crackers are more self sup porting people, who do not put all their trust In a cotton or a truck crop who make the raising of home supplic* their first concern and who kupw how much work it tukei to earn a dollar and keep or spend it accordingly. We notice that some of the best pa per* In these two sister States of our. are earnestly urging the farmers t< make 190K ruling and Hominy year.' They say and give experiences to show * that corn can be made and bacon raised in the South more cheaply than In any other eection of the Union, and there ta alwaya a market for good thinga to •at. A.««r»FdIng td bur HgTila next year will be a particularly good time fot Sooth Carolina farmers to give beet attention to their com Uelda and pig pens, patches and pastures. We can aot, we are aorry to say, see the end ol tbe present financial stringency until after the ballots are cast and counted in tbe next Presidential election,' and then tbe growth of returning enufl deuce will be alow. Northern capital tats look to the cotton and wheat eropaof last rear to relieve the string eitcy and are in cross humor because the farmers do not avalanche the bal ances In their bauds. Besides they think, or hope, that there U much more cotton in Dixie than there really Is. r -"- We may be wrong, but in our back- iemrtU opinion IhfSoutbern farmer will have to depend on himself nioTt Beat year than ever before Big corn and meat and little cotton crops next , year will do more to bring the pluto - crata and politicians to their tenses >haa all the pantcr and preaching Chat come along. •And the strain for labor will be less and Its quality better for the liug auu Hominy programme.

This set his par ents to trying to break up the match, and, fulling to do bo, they continued to work v. ith a view to "a separation of the young married couple till they se cured the result they desired. Five years after the Beparatlo’n Ned’s parents were l>oth dead. Ned now re alized that a great mistake had been made. He had divorced his wife at their Instigation, and they had gone to their long home leaving him In hie loneliness.- Alma had only consented to n divorce ou condition that she keep the children, a lioy and n girl.
