# We cannot too persistently urge the <
necessity of diverging from the old beat- i
cn track in which the planter plods along <
when he places exclusive reliance upon i
the success of his cotton and corn i
crops. As constant dripping will make ?
impression on a rock, so repeated at- I
tempts to inaugurate a change from the ;
old routine, will, it is hoped, lead farmers i
to undertake the planting of other l
things then those to which they have (
been wont to devote all of their time i
and labor. The success that will surely i
attend those who take the first steps in a
new departure, will cause others to do I
the same and will lead to most beneficial <
results. Almost every day our attention t
is directed to some easily attained but t
hitherto neglected source of wealth for ?
which the soil and climate of South i
Carolina arc peculiarly adapted. Among
the many articles which it would be well s
for our farmers to become acquainted <
with and to cultivate in order to lead iO "
the establishment of works in our midst c
for its manufacture, is the fiber called f
jute. A correspondent has recently <
written at length to express the import- i
ance of paying attention to this product i
and wc cannot refrain from giving his s
views at some length. (
Jute is of so much importance to the 1
people of Europe and America, as scarcely |
to he second in commercial value to that <
ofoocton. England has so stimulated 1
the cultivation of this fiber that last year
India alone exported 972,000,000 pound*, t
Everv veer we send from this country {
millions of dollars in gold to pay lor the
manufacture of jute received from Bombay
and Calcutta, and many millions of
dollars in gold more to pay English
Belgian and French manufacturers for
gbods which are in whole or partly manufactured
from jute, srnh as carpets,
gunny-bags, burlaps, gunny-cloth, a d
Manilla paper, which is nine-tenths
jute. It is also used in the mixtures of
flax, hemp, wool, cotton and hair, all oP
which values, when imported, amount
to over $100,000,000 to the United
States.
This is all wrong, totally wrong, for a
people who possess all of the necessary
requisites in soil, climate, labor, power
and machinery for its growth and man- t
ufacture. It is time the people were made i
aware of what vast wealth and advan-! \

enltivation of jute is more simple ami
loss expensive than cotton, while it will
yield double the revenflto, for him to at
once give it a trial, and this once accoiu*
pli-hcd would produce sufficient quantities
to create a home market.
The machinery for its manufacture is
simple and inexpensive, and does not
require half the outlay of that of cotton
or wool. These would be forthcoming
as soon as the raw material could be
depended upon. Let each planter plant
one-third iess cotton and one-third of!
his laud in jute. At the end of the
season he will find that his cotton will
bring an advance in price on account of
the less quantity produced, so he will get
as much money for his crop as he would
were he to have planted no jute, while
his jute crop would be all gain-ami no
small gain at that, when we stop to
consider that the average yield of jute
ou ordinary rich land is 2,500 pounds
to the acre, worth in gold seven cents per
pound, or one bundled and seventyfive
do'lars per acre; and this for a plant
requiring but a trifling expense for its
cultivation. In short the culture and
manufacture of jute arc industries that
deserve immediate attention from our
people since they would immensely enhance
the wealth and progress of the
State. G.

The Lesson of Failure.
Human life is full ot failures. What
is llbtory but a record of repeated
exertion followed by repeated defeat?
what though we talk about the might
of will, the power of resolution, the
certain result #of perseverance? Yet
a man often finds that at the last h<s
best efforts fall far short, in their results,
of the mark which he had placed
before himself, and which he had hoped
to attain. The jroungster at school
soon fiuds this out Bay after day he
writes away at the copy,- "Try again.'*
Over awdover again he repeats his
great scrawling characters.-" If at first
yon doit t succeed, try> try again." Btiti
he finds often aud often, that after JtHliis
endeavors he fails to master a long .leeson,
and fails to solve a puzzling pro*
blem. And even when he does meet
with success, that success he feels to
be imperfect. But after all, "try again"
is a good motto for the young. They
as a general thing believe . in its orthodoxy
aud it is well they do, for their belief
stimulates them to renewed exertion and
makes them pnsh on, through defeat and
discouragement, till they finally obtain
some measure of success.
But men are less easily satisfied than
boys. With the growth of the body there
has been a corresponding mental growth.
? ?? ?*?
The man has put away cmiuisn mings.
How trifling now appear to us the ideas
that we cherished in childhood. The
uiental attainments that would have
satisfied us as boys, now only fill us with
a. dreary sense of the infinity which
.vet lies before us, unacquired, nay, more,
even unattcmpted. Heuce we are -ever
learning, by bitter experience, that
our best success is, after all, to a great
extent?failure.
There is a time in the Kfc of every
maD, generally in early youth, when he
puts before himself an ideal of excellence
which he hopes one day to reach.
He dreams of fame. In the visions of
his lively fancy he aees himself a great
Drator, author or general. Bnt amid
ill his varied fancies there is the one
ind before him to attain?greatness and
reputation in some sphere. This he
Is to seek after and finally to reach in
some way. A few veare pass by, and
the youth outgrows these dreams of
imbition to a great degree. He learns
n various ways that greatness is not
o be had for the mere wishing. That
:hcy are few whom the world crowns
vith rs laurels and hails as its true monirclis.
Now amid all this wreck of purpose,
this failure, this disappointment, the
question is put to us, "Is it all in vain
hat men cherish exalted purposes, and
hat they try to attain . them?" We answer,
No. Though our ideals never be
ealizcd, yet let us have them still.
Though we never reach the standard, <
ttill let the standard remain as exalted as <
iver. Men need to cherish lofty aims, i
Though the "Labor overcome* all olxta- \
lcs' of the poet has exceptions, though i
ew attain the dizzy heights which at the j
>utsct they propose to soaie, yet each one i
inagine8 he maybe of that few. He
nay be one of those who aim destined to f
ucceod out of the vastnwnbor who fail. \

71 UUC lliUl^j C%?, Ibuov wv ? - ,
lis aim is not high he will never aocom- l
dish anything ot moment. The more i
malted the purpose, the more exalted will <

Says tlie great discerner of human' na- ,
are: "Some are born great, some achieve
jreatness, and some have greatness thrust
ipou thorn." But we apprehend that the
nenjwho liave greatness thrust upon them i
i e comparatively few. Sometimes iulecd
we do see men of the most moderate i
a louts apparently, nevertheless exalted (
nto positions of the highest honor, men
vho seem emphatically Jto have been ,

vhom fortune has raised into notoriety, <

The discrimination in freights where j
here happens to be no competing lines i
n the interior of the State is arousing <
wblic attention to the projection of new <
outes to the seaboard which will do I

txacled by these having a monopoly of <
,'ic carrying trade and which is im

building up large fortunes for others in I

railroad termini tended. <
). The Newberry Herald declares i
that Newberry throws tWay "money i
enough every two or three y?an? on High i
freight to build a railroad." The Herald
says: <
"The benefits that Newberry would i
derive from such connections are incal- <
culable. Kvery man in the county who
provide means for their return, which in n
many oases, they did.
For the present, at least, it appears j
that to be able to advance in the scale ot ^
civilization the negro needs the sustain- ^
ing influence and example of a naturally p
and nationally vigorous, enlightened and r<
experienced people. More especially
docs his ra ce in this country need it in ^
their present transition state. They are c
a trusting and easily taught race, and y
could they be stimulated to a persistent t
and lively combat with their indolent and p
too dependent natures, they would become
very useful to the country and them- ?,
selves; and while doing their share toward
developing the country, they would
advance with the nation, to a degree of i
civilisation and prosperity which they o
can never attain as a separate and dis- a
tinct aggregation. s
Our belief is that man was made to ! o
conquer the earth; and if there is any j l
meritorious difference in races, it must I
superiority and unconquerable sense of
freedom sod independence which is inherent
in the Caucasian, and is the
keystone of all successful enlightenment
and self-government.
Up to this hour, the negro race has
nowhere possessed the sustaining force
necessary to make and -keep it selfgoverning
, independent, arirvc, "progressive,
republican. The laejem's mi rurally
indolent disposition and innate contentment
with, and J submission to, any J i
conditioiswhich?WJ*Hsrsrhc requirements
of his animal nattne, is a great barrier
to his advancement in any state or condition.
He lacks that ambitions vigor
of the white man of whatever paternity. ,
which forces itself beyond its surround- ^
ings and grapples the ntmOMt, to control |
the things which r^ate, not only to sell
and individuality, hnt also to the devel- j
opment and prosperity of the nation or (
community of which each is a necessary .
anir. |
The really capable and intelligent
amoqg the colored people are so few in (
proportion to the whole number and to
the opportunities they have had, that
they are regarded as anomalies and phenomena,
rather than as specimens of "j
what the race is or might be. Left tn
themselves the tendency of the mass of
negroes is retrogressive. The proofs of j
this are indisputable and almost aston
ishing. The* story of the liberally
educated and Christianized South Afri- 1
can in England, who relapsed iuto all the 1
savagery and superstition of his ancestors j
on being sent to lib Dative heath as a
missionary, has not been lost. There
are many evidences that Liberia, as a 1
Republic, is but an unsatisfactory expo- ^
riment. More than twenty years ago ^
the testimony was that all wanted to be r
officeholders, ministers, lawyers, and
doctors. The best possible proof that the
time has not yet come for an African c
republic to make its mark in the world ?
is, that with universal good will in its
favor, for two or three generations, it has 0
made none* a
As "with God all things are possible," *
i> with men, under Providence, all things *
are possible; but when, God and man- r

be exoelleut reasons for the best friends 0
the oolored people have among the white

2. The Anderson papers say that it
is probable that active steps will be commenced,
in a short time, for the construe
tion of the railroad from Anderson to
Augusta, by way of Lowndesville.
3. The Greenwood and Augusta Railroad,
of which mention has already been
made, is said to be in the hands of diligent
and industrious men. "All that is
now wanting is a sufficiency of funds to
warrant their ultimate success."
Since the completion of R R. communication
with Port Royal and Augusta al^
eyes are turned towards a connection
with Augusta the apex of a tripod having
for its arms the choice of three routes
to the ocean viz: Charleston, Savannah,
and Port Royal.
The Augusta and Greenwood R. R.
is a foregone conclusion "and with that

NEGRO EMIGRATION.
rm _ J ? i. T !1 !
ine proposed eujigrauou iu jjiuenu,
of a large number of Southern colored
people, w now a subject of discussion,
and one of no little importance. The
great problem, whether the negro is
capable of self government, is yet to be
demonstrated. He is an excellent imitator,
and it may be assumed that whatever
forms and operations of republican
government his intelligence can grasp his
imitative faculties will lead hiui to adopt
and apply. The great difficulty is the
lack, in his race, of the essential auxiliary
to sustain individual independence,
the rational foundation of Republican
government. Having always been
subordinate, he cannot feci that possible
the superior race that is to achieve
:he conquest. But this does not prelude
the belief that a general negro
exodus from the county is a physical
imposibility, and that the continued
agitation of the subject is a mfcrfbrtnne
to the negro. The negroes of the South
will best promote their own interests by
the most complete nod effective abandonment

Mr. Editor: In your paper of the
lGth August inst. Maj. W. J. Gooding
has replied to an article 1 published, as
regards Mrs. Prescott's Will. He aays
that I find fault with the Trustee, and
the committee appointed by him to
establish a school in the upper portion
of the Parish, for not making
provision for the entire poor. He has
misconstrued my meaning. I admit
that Whippy Swamp X Roads, is a
suitable locality for a school, and that
there are as many beneficiaries in that
neighborhood as in any other section of
the Parish and perhaps more, bat I do
say that it is unfair and unjust, that the
benefits of this Fund, should be bestowed
on the beneficiaries of Whippy Swamp
X Roads, and Early Branch, year after
year, while other portions of the Pariah
(equally entitled) are to be excluded
from a dollar of the Fond. Maj. Gooding
is mistaken in another point There
are a few transient children ia Vniusville,
but it is a well known fhet, that
liw *?> rwer fiftv uoor "native bora"
children, within three miles of the piece.
Branson is a very populous country tad
has a great many more poor children.
Under the present management, these
two localities will receive all the benefits
of the Fund, and the balance of the
Parish, will be excluded. Mid* Gooding
saysjthat I hare misled tho people, as
regards the original amount of the Fund.
He says that he is informed by one who
knows, that the amount was only fire
thousand dollars. His informant is
certainly mistaken, and M^j. Gooding
on reflection, ought to know it The
Will Is no doobt lost, bat traditionally,
it is a well known fact that the amount
was in the neighborhood of forty thousand
dollars. He knows as well as I
do, that there used to be over one hundred
paupers supported by this Fund,
and many of them received annually,
from fitly to one hundred dollars. Th
interest then, was only 7 per cent, and
five thousand dollars, would onhr amount
to three hundred and fifty dollars. From
the best recollection of every aid citizen,
in the Parish, the amount was thirty or
f >ny thousand dollars.
As there is so much difcroncc of
opinion, as regards this amount, it i>
rather surprising, to a number of the
citizens of the I*!?rish, (to whom the
Fund legitimately belongs.) that the
Tra -tce has not m ?de a public exhibit
dncc the war. For a uumber of years
since the war, the Fund was not known
o exist at all, and. if it did, it was nor
nmL-r the dictates of the
Will, ant) it was not until last year that
it seems to have rerired, and instead of
being applied, as it was formerly, it
tppcars that a new ''avenue of utility"
has sprung up an-1 the Fund i?
now used, for educational purposes, which
is certainly in direct opposition, to th<
)rigin?l intent..
All I have to my in, that if it h>
lecided that the Fund is to be appropria
ed exclusively for educational purposes,
hen in the name of common sense and
ustioe, let it be applied in such a way.
:hat all the poor children of the Parish
nay get ( as near as possible,) an equal
share of the benefits of the Fund. E.
