At lids sanson ot* the year, wo often hear of good citizens l av ing their tuitivo State io lind moro lucrativo fields in Hie growing West. Tn this section, lt ls said, tho loamed professions are crowd ed) farming is n fa il uro, and all the avocations which should lve open to young men a re tilled. Hut is this true? ls ll (ruo that South Carolina has grown so rap idly in population thal ii i* roso ure-1 es are not sufllciont for their maintninancc ? It i^ true that ih- re ave many In i loamed I profe.4 ion and on ! he farm, w ho lind^lt dlfllcult to earn more than n hare subsistence, bul it will not do to draw the conclu sion that those who aro Hms situa ted here, would .ind tho West an El Dorado. We do not belleve'lhat tho noce - sity exists for any young man lo leave South Carolina; and wo do believe Hutt our State offers gr< ul r advantages to "broad winners," those who have the energy to work -than many of the boasted "now States." This is not an ago when careless Indolen fe and idleness, eau reasonably expect to bo rewarded anywhere, whether amid i lie smoke of Birminghams furnaces, 1 he gold fields of Calafornia or upm. tho solid hills of th-> Pal mt Ito State, Tho young man who would emlgr tte to find an easier place, will return dis appointed, but niter wasting his bard earned savings. What wo need most of all, is 4o have Instilled in I ho minds of young men, even from boyhood, thal all honest labor is honorable. \\ a people have not recovered from the effects of tho war. wo hove nof place ourselves lu entire harmony With the new order of things, it .Vs difficult for quondam lords to be? come laborers, yet thoso Who have been first to for-.;. I i's ir former condition, and who have bravely and resolutely determined to make tho most of present opportunities, i have succeeded, an i aro properen . und happy. Tho sooner tho South eau ol lit erate tho antiquated idea of an ar istocracy founded on wealth; the sooner nil classes recognize thc fact fully, (hat the only aristocrat y worthy of vee? v,ni i ?or, M:: I be founded on characl ir and true worth; tho better il will bo for us. The great questions and political problems that convulsed this fair Southland in day of yon-, a re sae red, and Will ever bo remembered ned reviered by true Carolinians: but they are questions that no longer await solution. Hight or wrong, tho social order which it was the prido of our farthers t<> erect has trumblod to atoms, and thoso who were roared iii ailluonce, In later years have been taught tie' less,MI of toiling for bread. .Whatever Ideas of feudalism maj'have been handed down to us, or In whatever way our fathers may hove boen taught- to regard occupation as fix ing the social status of a niau; in this ?age, young men must learn that no myal hand confers hon nora in South Carolina, nor is char acter coupled with office or occu pation, Tho humblest artisan that daily toils, is as mitch entitled to rospect, as the wealthiest laud lord. Youngman; There Is room for you in South Carolina. Vdu may not (Ind it behind the counter, you may possibly miss lt on Hie farm, if may bo you would fall ut law, mt tl? iclno ard othor professions, but fherej.a placo for you.
