The Cultivation of V’pland Rice.
The experience of the past few years
has fully demonstrated the fact that^
by far the most profitable employ
ment for the farmers of Sbothern Ga.
Is the cultivation of the white, or high
land rice. The Writer has tested the
matter fully, both by experiment and
observation. While this variety ot
rice flourishes best in a wet, alluvial
irotl, producing as large a yield under
such circumstances as the Carolina
“golden,” yet it does remarkably well
on ordinary uplands; which afo usual
ly devoted to the growth of the cereals
or cotton. Indeed, It may be stated
ns a fact, that any land, howeveT'ble-
vated or sandy, that will make unas

bushels of corn per acre, will easily

a number
of journals In the State were bringing
out their candidates for the nomina
tion of Governor upon thtTDemocratic
ticket in the coming political cam
paign, wo took occasion to say that we
bad In our minds made our. selection,
but did not think it wise to commence
the battle for bis nomination so early
Since that declaration on our part, we
Lave looked ■ever tho political Held
many times for the purpose of discov
ering a mote aultabla^man than the
one we had fixed upon, if such can be
found._,Wo have carefully examined
all tho candidates that have been
brought out by others, we have tho
roughly examined their qualifications
and recommendations, and reached
the conclusion that we ha 1 not erred
incur original choice.- Wo now have
the honor tj'bringout as our candi
date before tho Democratic Conven
tion fot' the first place on the State
ticket, Gen. Johnson Hagood.
It seems to us that a .man of Gen.
Hagood’s stamp is just the need of the
times. It wdnld be silly fT> talk about
bis arousing tho enthusiasm that
Hampton aroused In 1870, for ho can-
nbt do It. It is not In the man in the
first place, and not In the people in tho
second. Hampton himself could not
elicit It n^w. Enthusiasm is one of
those.thlogs which from Its very na
ture must be short-lived. The supply
our people had was- large, but the
expenditure was most—lavish, and
there is but little left In us for the
struggle upon which we are just en
tering. So little, In fact, that we can
in no way rely upon it to carry us to
victory In this contest.*We shall have
to use other and entirely different
means and methods in the present
campaign from those used in 187G, if
we expect to succeed.
Hurrahing in banqered processions,
with beating drums and blowing boros
were serviceable things in their tirn*v
but would be as stale as a twice-told
tale, if attempted again this year.—
They are fossils, as campaign material
in South Carolina. What our people
need-now is a leader, who ia-epdet,
shrewd, practical and reaolute. W*
want a good oxgamstgr and disoiplina
rian. While we are arf determined as
ever to win In the battle, the wild en
thusiasm has expended Itself* and
there Is no arousing It again. We
need business like methods to carry
us through safely this time. And the
people will require an assurance that
we have a business-like man at the
head of nfiairs to inspire them with
work. Now it seems to us that Gen.
Hagood above all others id,the State
Is best fitted by temperament, by edu
cation and by prestige to supply the
demand of the times. If our readers
have ever looked upon Gen. Johnson
Hagood’s face, thsy need but Httls
further evidence that hs is the man
for the place we have above describ
ed. It speaks a language not easily
misunderstood. "I die In tho last
ditch,” is written legibly upon U; and
his recorh as a soldier and political
leader sustain the declarations of his
countenance.

Upon corn or cotton upland; plant
ing should begin about tho 20th of
March, nod may - continue with suc
cess as late as the first of June. -
By way of preparation, simply flush
up the ground with a turning plough’,
and smooth the surface, If possible,
with an ordinary wooden or iron
harrow. Than, with a narrow scooter
open 1 renches two feet asunder, and
apply in the drill any fertilizer that
may have been provided. H the soil
is high and dry, the seed. In small
handfulls, say thirty oi forty grains,
should be deposited at intervals of
fifteen or eighteen Inchesplo allou of
the free Tassago of tho hoe In. culti
vation. Cover with a board as you
would cotton. Where the land Is low
and strong,- mers especially If by
lying fallow the crab grass has been
exterminated, the seed may be drilled
at the rate of about one ard a half
bust)els per aero. Thus treated, fifty
bushels may bo easily made in average
seasons.
Cultivate land with frequent plough
ing between, and keeping jthe bids free
from grass or weeds.
No crop Is mpro easily made or will
prove as remunerative. With equal
seasons,and planted side by side with
corn, the rice will perhaps double the
yield of corn, and is worth, In the
rough state fully a third more In the
market. The writer has seen forty
bushels produced on fhe light sea
island cotton lands on the seacoast of
Liberty county. ,
Ho has also cultivated tho rice as
you would peas, between the. hills of
{corn, where the soil was low and moist
raising a full crop of corn and fifteen
bushels of rice to the acre. In the
latter case the rice received a thorough
working, after the blades of the corn
wero removed for fodder.
The rice straw, if protected from
the weather,furnisheagood provender

oftentimes, in wet seasons, the stub

which can be cut when greet} aud

be aounded, nor, indeed, even advert
ed to, in a comprehensive summary of
Jpirty-three years of existence. Yet
the spinster's life may be gathered
from hints, which may bo shtewd
enough to go deep without being
voluminolts.
At 17, then;she thinks often of love;
delights in love songs; fills Moore’*
poem* with pencil marks; fbinks
Byron's face beautiful; eats little in
company. At 18; still thinks a great
deal of love; would caro nothing for
poverty,’provided she bad a .sweet
heart who adored her; Indeed, would
rather be poor than rich, were she
united to the ideal whom she has not
yet met. Still reads a great deal of
poetry and novels which deal largely
with love and tb^ death of the heroine;
passionately fond of children. At 19;
a little more critical; find* some of the
poetry that pleased her last year a
little weak; looks about for steadier
authors than her old favorites; dances
every dance in a ball, and is not quite
so particular a* to the men who are
Introduced to her. At 29; I* not sure
whether, after all, it would not bo best
to bo an old man's darling. Never
theless she flirts mors uniformity: all
her shyness.Is gone, and she enjoys
her food whether people are looking
at her or not. At 21; her belief in old
men is strong; she'has. lost her preju
dices in favor of poverty and cottages,
yet she would not insist upon money
were her ideal to present blmselL
At 22; thinks her younger sister rather
forward In her manners, particularly
with young men; sometimes suggests
to mamma that the Invitations which
include the younger sister are merely
act* of politenes* which people don’t
want to bo literally Interpreted,- At
23; is annoyed if anyone says in h^r
presence that the pallor of half the
gills one meets comes from tight
lacing. At 24; laces deliberately for a
waist, and does not much mind if it
is,known; finds the company of old
men always more agreeable than that
of young men, and Is flattered If boys
pay her attention. At 25; is found be

tka-Uoghionable beauty; frequently
alters the character of her coiffure,
and uses a great many different kinds
of stuff for her hair. At 26; declares

that Alia grows, .drowsy, after a her orbit js beuaiess

exulting novels. At 45; feels the cold,

to share her home; quarrels with lady
over the servant, and vows she will
never live again with a companion;
