(i A lt LI N( J TON ct CO., Proprietors Wbnt Hhall tho Harvest Bo, The Legislature Is again in ses sion, and judging by the past, we may expect to ace them go through tho samo routine, and after weeks Of heated discussion upon matters of gravest importun?e, they will perhaps re-enact the same laws, with unimportant eb anges, and will adjourn without accomplish ing anything. When the people elect mon to make laws, it is presumed thal these men have well defined views nH to the needs and wants of tho people, and it is their duty to act. Lot them not stop to consider Whether a measure is popular at home, or whether they could be re elected, if they support a certain bill, but let them work for the good of their constituency, as they con ceive it, and the people will bo satis fied. The legislator who ?eeks to please everybody, and is all the while seeking such a compromise as will not call forth criticism, sel dom accomplishes any good, and we nay, emphatically, is unfitted for such a position. In placing him in this i>osition, the people de clare their confidence in his ability, und it is then his duty to act as his own judgment and conscience dic tates, irrespective of all other con siderations. We have had enough of hurried legislation; we have had enough quibbling over trilling matters. A vast amount of good could be accomplished by tho present legis lature, ami it is probable that most important matters will arise for determination, and we will watch With anxioty to see if they arc de termined to do their wojr^J^'?gflly1 ly ylP'.mXn'ehtly. _ j Misguided Ministers.1 Five colored preachers in Oh* . . leaton agreed to preach on a cer tain day, on the subject of lawless ness, taking as their text : "In those days there was no King in Israel; every man did that which was right in his own eyes." The drift of each sermon was that the ne gro was not protected under the law; that juries failed to do their duty, and they made a wholesale denunciation of tin; administration of justieo. Wo have more than once advo cated the rights of the negro, and we are willing to give bim all the rights to which, under our consti tution, he ls entitled. We believe that It ls our duty to seek his ele vation, but when it comes to ad vising this race and teaching them to look upon our people as enemies to them, these would-be-politieal preachers will lind they are by no means speeding their cause The day ls past when the negro can rule in South Carolina, and it will at least be several years after tin; present generation is forgotten be fore they can demand social recog nition. It is time for the town of Lau rens toundertuke something grand. Because we have succeeded in gaining excellent railroad connec tions, it will not necessarily follow that our town will become the "At lanta of South Carolina." These roads place us in a position to make our town whatever wo desire. If, ns sensible business men and property owners, wo can be content to allow advantages to pass unheeded ; If we labor under the delusion that the growth of (air town Is assured without efforts on our part, then we must not be sur prised to see even cross roads sta tions loom up and become formi dable rivals. Our location entitles us to a large trado, but it is not the position, hut the men timi make a town. The poet tells us: "Fling away ambitltion," yet "Without that, Tho world would ho ii thickly settled mud." Ho who enters upon tim voyage of life, believing that the tide will waft him on to greatness, is apt tobe discouraged when tho calm comes and his true manhood is put to the test. Life is not a dream, but a reality; and in thoso days of sharp competition and rapid advancement the aggressive spirit of th" age de mands stability of character, and a fixed purpose to achieve something, its prerequisites to success. Ambi tion need not lead us to look with ?corn upon our lot; nor to seek some other field of labor, but it should make us feel, that in whatever avo tion destiny hos placed ifs, there lt an eminence to be gaiued.

Hui, when the war closed, there was an unprecedented demand for cotton; the world was hungry for the Southern staple, and was wil ling' lo pay for it. Under these circumstances our farmers were justified in the policy which they pursued-that ol' planting cotton to tho exclusion of mos! other crops.
