TIIEIR LIPOtTA ?T' TO 7111,
An EssRy Rood Before the Summer
MoInHg of 0h0 S;to Grango by Gon
eral John Brattoii.
. is, perhaps, not inappropriatc
to congratulato you, sir, and all
here assembled, on the changed
anm4pices inder which we hold this
me1(etitig for the promotion of the
agrictltural and mnecianlical intor
ests of South Carolina. For years,
the State, smothered in fraud and
corruptiol, wsl sinking, carrying
wvich heor all tho intorests, public
and privato, within bor 'borders,
into the slough of despair. The
methods that had grown up with
our growth, amd i,rv vo adiriably
adapted for teio condut of our po
litical 1l4irs, inl the butter days of
the common iealt, were utterly
iumadequate for such an emergency.
No advocacy of right, however
U10lo t ard colivincing, had- the
slightest ellect or tle power that
was ernshing un.
While there Ias a general senth
mnclt that organization was neceR
smy to oven it hol1o of relief, the
education, training and, above all1,
the customs of our people present
cd almost insulI perhl-be obshlmtis in
the way of effectively operating it.
To lift a people out of their old
habit f I hought and action, it, is
not iflicieit, tio demoinsIate the
inadequacy of ohl nethods and
present general views of now%- ; but
it iH necessary to frame it plan, a
de!f;ito 1111d intelligiblo plan of
at-hou, that will ilvite thiemI by its
promise of oflicacy, to 10)aandol tihe
old and lay hold of the new.
This pac.tikal plan for applying
Ihe power of united sentiment and
united eflort was most clearly coi
coived and irst put in operation
here in Andlerson. Tho Anderson
constitution, with Its celebrated
-ighith article, is, as it were, thc
keystone of the arch o) which our
grand political triumph rests.
To-day, tihe State, reinstated in
the old homestead, is restoring its
laindimarks and pitting it in order
to fuster, with gratefil care, the
energies of her impoverished but
hopeful sons.
That we are assembled under
these circumstances and in this
place, for this purpose--the promo,
tion of that great interest Onl which
the prosperity of tile State, howevrc
free and u1n tr1m1 melled, :Po largely
denends-is calculated to inspire
tHie liveliest hope that omo plan
may be c-Vlved that wvill bring up a
restored agricultitre to the support
of a restored State.
'1ho pin l)ionI prevails that 0our old1
mlethIods of cond ucting agricultural
of the situation: that they are
wastefully and steadily reducing
our' resources ; that under0l them
lromp1let.e exhaustion is only a (1ues
Lion of time. The necessity for
ahantige is obvious, to even the
sasuaml observor. What that chantge
shall be, and howv it is to be accom
plisheOd are questions of tihe gravest
.nter'est, and will doubItloss meet
withb due conside ration anid dis -
aussion during this meeting. I piro
pose to direct your attention to the
position held lby live stock ini "gon
iral agriculture," with the view and
Liope of developing its bearing onl
this importanit question.
TIhe ,sublject assigned to me,
"Cattle," ranks for'emost under the
general head, "Live Stock."
I start with the p)rop)osition that
the true hmonsure of the real value of
land is its capacity to support live
stockc. There may bo0, and are, ox
traneous circumustances wvhich
rnodlify this valuation ; but they are
local, transient, and, indeed, are but
sup)erficial structures, b)uilt up on
the great underlying intrinsic value
which holds good in every country
on tihe faceo of the earth ; in overy
tge of tile world fromt the time when
"Abel sacrificed tlie firstlings of his
flock" to the plresent ; ill every
stage of agricultur'e, from that
wvhich first settled mian in a fixed
rtbodo and redeemed him from
savage life to that of the most
rlaborate and scientific Rystem yet
rtttained. It is as true of the cotton
belt of South Carolina as of tihe
blue grass region of Kentucky ; of
the farms of Now England as of the
cattle ranches of Texas.
In tihe incipient stage of agricul
turn, berds and fibeka 'we're t.he
primc initcretit; wore the principal
source of supply of both food and
clothing for man. Their only
110101 of subsistence wias the natur,
al pstllrage, and the only viliation
of land wam its a, iity to support
them. Tillage (lid not begiln until
later. Ileud, tle Alinge from the
roviml', life of the savago, seeking his
livelihood by the chaso, to the hut
of I lie herdsman was the birth of
agricul ture, an11d tillage was intro
duced and it first used only to add
to the crude luxury of incipicnt
home life. It was not until the
advent of c nunerve an<d manfac
tures, which, from equally crude
beginningm, opened ill) al ever ox.
panding field of employinot for
colsuiier of agricult.ural products,
that tillage 11111(111much progress.
The growth of these great interests
created a demand onl agriculturo for
her products whivi greatly stiimu.
lated her in all of her branches, but
particularly in the cultivation of
what may he teried concentratecl
cropti-crops that would bearl
transportation to market. Thenl it
was that tillage begaln its, earoer of
ncroachmnent, its work of absorlb
ng pasturage. Field after field of
pasture litd was takell into cultivi
tion and run to 0XhIansUi in those
mlikict crops, until the area of
pairl 1110 land, (tie range,) which is
still the only micans of support pro
vided for live stock, is rednied to
almost nought, amd the cattle and
live stock to corresponding propor
tions, both i as to (Ilailtity and
(Iul: ity. Thus it this stige we find
loss iml t1he reA value Of huld aecom
panied by proportionate reduction
and los i in live sftock. The con
p(sation for this loss iS-the growth
of Civiliza'tionl 1iia tihe ca)itll stord
ill its groat interests.
This brief a1nd imperfect, state
ment. as far as it goes, is a fair and
correct sumnary of the rise and
progress, Of ngriculture in every
(OuAn try in hlie vorld ; certminly in
those whose ON- leople ) i have lifted
chemselves from i a stato of barbar
ism to that of enlightened civiliza.--,
tionl.
This now country of ours,
although conforming in time main to
the general course of agriculture,
prlsets special and modifying
features, the considerationl of which
may be prolitable as well as inter
esting. They arise from the fact
that our agriculturo is not a native
of this country. Only a few years
ago tie most cnlightened and
eergetic civilization in the world,
that of the Anglo-Saxon, found
lodgment on the eastern shore of
this then great wilderness, the
hunting grond of the savaqo and the
lair of wild beasts. The vi,gor with
which it pushed its way into tho
interior, driving barbaricm before it
and subjecting wild nature to its
isos and purposes, indicated an
accession of energy from the
transplanting of such all accession
as should have prepared thie world
for its startling and wonderful
nehijevomoent of bridling the caroqr~
img elements, and hitchinag the pow..
or of steatm and the activity of
lightning to its car of progress.
This "grand march of ciilitaption
westward1," a rich theme for poet,
orator or* phlilosophoer, has also) its
intorest for tho agricultui-ist. With
thme civilization latndod e on r coast
was the agriculture from whbich it
derived its being and the nourish
montneccessary for its subsistence and
growth. No mowiling infant ill thle
crude nursery of the hoi-dmna's hut,
but in the vigorous strength of
developed maturity, it p)resented an
aggressive front to this vast strong
hold of fierce, valiant, desperate
barbarism. It was to the aggressive
olomon t--agrionituro-that civilig,a
tion is indebted for its "giund
march westward."
