South Carolina lias boon loud in clamoring against tho failure of Agriculturalists for (lin past fow years and tn denouncing tin? pres .ont system of farming. Our farm ors have boon tedd to raise supples nt homo and lo abandon cotton; inumerablo suggestions have been made for the boneflt of farmers. But they hear lt nil und heed not. Advlco to farmers has become a well worn chestnut, ami while it is well to urge them to raise home supplies, to economize and to diver sify crops; Important vs those mat ters are, we must look beyond them for something that will spcodidly bring general prosperity. (At last our state is awakening to the im portance of manufacturing enter prises, eroat and small. Hore is a solution to the problem that has been presented to tho people of this ?tato nnd the South generaty. Wc have boon slow to accept this as a ?olutlon, but the news comos from ?very quarter, of money going into factories show lng that we are at last thoroughly aroused. A canning factory whom fruit, vegetables and the like will be put in merchantable shape,has boon located in Colum bia S. C. This is ono~f tho myriad of small enterprises timi can bc succesfully operated in our State at a small outlay.

BOQDLQ EGrrGsponacnGG TRIANGLE. ON DIT. Well we will give titi?: time some general remarks about the condi tion of our country, our people, pro jected Rail Road, our industrious peoplo our flourishing school sind our nonparlcl young Indies. Our people aro industrious. They are bard at work preparing their respective farms for the reception of the delicate seeds, and instilling Into the soil some Invisible germ that will one flay in tho near future spring into full maturity and th. bulwark against "general green." They aro unfortunate, however, In one respect, and that ls, t hey per sist in plant mg an over, supply of tho ' Hooey staple." They labor hard al! spring preparing their land for this crop; they pay OMt the last dollar for tho wonderful fertilizer thc sine ?ina nor., ns it were, of our livelihood a .grand decomposition of ul! necessary chemicals themultum in parvo of a fifty year's con rsc of study by tho scientist of the eighteenth century, in short, a trrnnd decomposition, ns we firmly believe, of humhtiggory, ignorance ?nd laziness. Wo unfortunately do not belong to the scientific class, hut after hav ing given this subject mature thought, we boldly and defiantly come to tho front with a formnbi that will produce cotton on nny hill with one ??'tii of the usual expense. Add together 40 per rent of elbow grense, 1ft per cont of corn and lar der, used tm OYO lo food, 10 per con I nf your morning nap, 10 percent of your noon rest. 20 per cent of your Saturday Afternoon holiday, .? per cent of ll 2 S O 4, and ? per cont of II M O, also deduct IO por cont of your luxuriant living nnd applv it to bill side ditches, dissolved those Ingredients by slow heat nnd a lit tle 1120 and apply tho remedy whenever and wherever needed. Mncoess is guarrantocd after thc sec ond application. Yes, our People will plant cotton. They will plant it; they will nurse ltdiirlngMay's chilly morning they will work lt all summer, they will neglect their protracted meeting on flCCOUnt Of it, they will pray for ruin with one breath ami curse the cows with other when they nip it; they will work it all Autumn; they ?wi!i work it all wayH; they will pull their old blind mules, to death through the mud hauling it to mar ket; they will allow the. n cr dmnt to pull out two pounds for II sample, und In this way get Ills wife's anu al supply of spinning cotton, they grumble when the honest, consclen ?joits[ ?1 merchant makes the high- ; od bid, thoy will reluctantly 6611 It square oif wita tho grocery house and rotura homo With a kit ot mackerel and a copper toed pair of shoos for tho baby. Thus the years work ls COU! (doted, the cotton cycle has passed, has closed the old year and begin? the new one new with tho samo arduous task. How then can we live? some will doubt loss say. Now WO don't purpose to argue the minute points of this ease, but wo eau say so long as your I smoke house is in Tenucsse and Kentucky and your granary In the West,yeti cannot live First pre pareyour table at home, thea with a moderate supply ol' the "long lint" rig yourself ont Tor Christmas. Touch not, handle not, taste not anything that produced, distillled or made by your neigh'.ors. We be lieve, Mr. Editor j Mad wo practiced what WO are preaching, WO would have been happily settled twenty years ago with some fair damsod, but as it is we are too poor now to rent a "log cabin in the lane" with a dirt door. And aftcrall this agricultural ex citement, what more or what can wo say about our itali Hoad. It Is not completed, but will bo soon, they toll us we are still living ia hopo, but nins! wo may die ia des pair. Our mothers always told UH that "tho watched pot never bolls". Yes it is surveyed, yes. they are grading it, yes, we can almost seo tho dirt Hying from our h?ls, almost bear tho rumbling sound ol'the ov er-welcomed midnight traveler. Yes, it is oil but completed, bat re member there's many a slip twixt the cup lind the lip." When tho welcomed visitor comes ruffing through our town with his exton ded tail, we will build a calaboose and elect a town council. Then fare well shattered Charleston, farewell world renowned Columbia, fare well busy < i reenvide, farewell clllS ic Spartanburg, we ure destined tr? he the metropolis of thc Piedmont belt, Ofthe Atlantic coast and of Hie < lull' plain. Our people, i nm glad to say, arc in hi^'u hopes ol* ils com pletion, and thus far WO CUll very truthfully say it bas materially dam ac ed cs In only ono respect and that is il has Riven our people thc "hiy head." They arc now begin ning to pass On Dit with an insignifi cant nod, but we are glad lo say such ns On Dit don't care and il takes such as On Dit to kee]) earth ly affairs moving harmoniously. Well, we Iiavo one consolation, whenever it becomes necessary we will call In tho neighbor black smiths and have their heads ban ded. Our town is not yet very large,but perhaps there is in oar midst some youth to fortune and 'o fame unknown that will In after years provo to bo Romulus, and will build another sovon-hllled art cen tre on some of Suludn's barren banks,perhaps we are the people to r?ar another worId-renowwe<\ Coliseum, perhaps some old gander in still living to perform bis noble mission. Yes wo oro gradually In creasing not?onlv in population but commercially, financially morally and intellectually. Our school ls In prosperous condition. lt bas just entered upon a new era. Tho pub lic term began last Monday and the beautiful and accomplished Miss Sadie Carter was selected to lill tho assistants chair. < di how wc would like to drink of the Sofa's i inmortal fountain and become once more a SCllOOol-boy, How we would busk under tho radiant smiles!

"Wnen would you put n child In <\ ram mar ?" was one of the quest ions for tho touchers to answer in their examin?t ion tin? other ?'ny. The majority of tho tcnchem said that a child should bo put in Gram mar when ho could read in the third reader, and some < f them would put a child In Grammar ev en before bo hud commenced Ge ography. Now tho teachers gener ally showed a greater luck of k nowlodgo ol pr rani mar than of tho other subjects. A great many of them who averaged 0 or mon His tory, Geography and Arithmetic,! I made only fl or 7 <n Grammar, i This accounts for {.thoir wanting to ' make children begin tills purely abstract subject SO early. The fol lowing quoted from Herbert Spen cer may be of interest' "Intellectual progress is of ne cessity from (ho concreto to the abstract. But regardless of this, highly abstract subject-, such US grammar, which should come quite bile, are begun quite early.

Il may bo unhced, but it ls a duty wo owe thc tanners of tho smith to protest against tho extensive cul tivation of cotton w hich has pre vailed during tho lust twenty years. It is unwise, looking to tin? protlts at tin? end of the year. Phcorotieally, cotton ls tho lonsd exhausting of all crops. Th" seen returned to tho hind replaces most of Ihojoloinents of fertility with drawn from the soil; the lint ox ported from tili? farm earlies with it little of manorial value. Not withstanding these strong points, t he col ton crop has proved a most impoverishing ono. Thc frequent plowing of tho land from January until Augu.-t, the ridging in early spring, which its cultivation de mands, both conspire to make the washing away of tho soil very rapid and great. No other.'orop grown mi our farms equals it in this regard. Hut this ls not nil. Frequent plowiugs daring Hie sum mer months, admitting air freoly into Hie soil, induces rapid decay of its vegetable matter and cotton Heids rapidly become destitute of humus. NO greater damage eau bo visited upon any soi!. Humus ls tin- life, tile most important con stituent of soils, To its absence, thousands upon thousands ?if our acres owe their sterility. Hut tho whole tory ls not yet lob!. Tho constant plowing and.'ncreallon of t!ie soil during tim summer pro motes active nitrification in the soil. Timi Is, It'-rings the nitrogen ol' the soil into the form of nitrates, acum?lales these nitrates into the soil towards tho close of tin- slim mer and leaves thom there to be leached out by th., winter rains. Soil cannot bold nitrates; they sink right dow n from the surface witli the rain water ?ind are carried ol? into the springs and streams. Tho cotton crop thus indirectly ro!is the soil of ii.s nitrogen. Hr.; we - aid extensive culture was unwise, looking to md prolits nt the v iol of the year. Hs de mands upon labor uro extraordi narily heavy as compared with other crops, thc preparation of tho him!, tho cultivation ol' the crop, the gathering of tho sann?,the prep aration tor market, all make un usually heavy demands upon the farmers pocket. Whore ls Hie crop that equals it in these re spects? Why ibo incro"picking ol :i cotton crop will cost from un eighth to one sixth of tho gross s:ilc? ol' ?aid crop; the labor ol hands in plowing and boeing, ono fourth or more; the manuring, ono sixth, am! tlie ginning anti packin;; one twcntietd,-in ali live eighths of tho gross sales. JNow, when wear and lear of stock and of im? plnments, wagons, eic, interest on investment, and injury to thc soil ns described above, when all these aro allowed for, or a proper dis count mad.' for them, whore is the margin for profit ?
