L.VI' KKNS, S. 0., NOV. 20, 1001. Common Sense. The honorable ambition of every man should go to develop his family by tho pursuit of some honest avoca tion. Thoroaro a thousaud. Ono man follows mining, another tosses wood or shovels coal for a railway engine. At the South hundreds of thousands adopt | farming and largoly plant cotton. It is now estimated that iho Southern crop will reach elevon million bales, In our own country less than threo mil-1 lion bales are manufactured and tho other eight million balos must find manufacturers abroad. Up to this nin mont this surplus has gone mostly tu Liverpool, whenco it finds Its way to] the large spinners and thonce up and down the earth to purchasers In tho shape of cloth, lu the tame way our friends in Minnesota and Iowa havo of] wheat a surplus of threo hundred mil- j lion bushels, and of corn oenorally largely in excess of this amount and tho people of Germany, France and England are necessitated to buy them. They must havo bread and they must havo meat. What wo have stated aro simply tacts. In the meanwhile tho ques tion is constantly raised and arguod who and where is the price of cotton fixed? And the question may with equal proprioty be asked?who and where is toe pi-ice of the Other groat | staples ?nimIV Wo think that tho great centres of consumption tlx the price, and 'the dullness or sharpness of the demand largoly has to do with it. A thousand years ago laws were pass ed to prevent what is called "engross ing" or buying up provisions and hold ing them Vor a high price. In com mon with tho million cotton raisers, some rich, but mostly poor, wo would bo benefittod and rejoice toseo our groat | staplo sell at a remunerative ririoe. JBut we ?tili believe tho supply does and will largely regulato the price. Corn to-day constantly advances because it is gone abroad that tho only source of supply, (the great middle Wost) is short. (Note that the South is tho only present source of our great supply of cotton.) What is to bo done? Now England with thirty millions people, must buy every mouthful of hi r bresd, and she will not try to feed thorn at home, but will continue to run hor machinery and sell her goods and buy hor wheat and beof. On tho Continent, in Germany, Rus sia, and Franco, they will double their cereal and food crops, because they have the land and they can make them cheaper than they can buy. (Common Sense.) Then tho people of Franco and Italy who grow the mulberry and raise the silks and spin tho ribbons will lind that tho people of the West and South have little money to buy, tho de mand for their gimcracks is not sharp and they will grow corn, potatoes, wheat and turnip.- where tho mulberry trees stood. They adapt thomselvos to circumstances by tho laws of "common sense," and make themselves indepen dent- And in the meanwhile, every individual is largely dependent upon hjm?elf, his own judgment and discre tion. And thus wc reach the conclusion that, the Southern people as a whole, and as composed of Individuals', must decide what is best under conditions and tako the chances Every man is called upon, to get all tho information and advice be can and at last fall back upon his own good "common sense." And when he gets his cotton ready and needs the money ho must sell. And so the French woman must sell her rib bons and her bon-lons. the wo?-k of her hands. v Tho lien merchants are getting in daily poor stock, etc, for returns of what they advanced to tho farmers. As no crops were made in this section this your thero will bo Idle land for the want of cultivators next year. Many fanners are arranging to move to town and cities where there are cotton mills and other employment.?Chcraw cor. News and Courier. This is a twice told tale?-i?fact it is so old as to have an "ancient liishlike smell." Tho remedy, too, Is plain and has a thousand times been bla/.oned. Every farmer in the State should have gathered enough wheat In Juno to fur nish bread for his family until next June. While this has been an unfa vorable corn year, enough grass and peavino hay, if saved, have been grown, to carry the stock till the Spring crops aro ready for tho blade. The farmers of Chesterfield aro to blamo, wo fear, and a third of a crop of cotton would have paid for everything bought?al lowing that they hud their bread and meat. George MoDufiio, a groat Statesman, a groat farmer, a great lawyer and tho greatest orator, when Governor, sev enty years hgo, in a message to tho Legislating, delivered a great Agricul tural address, and urged the farmors of this State to raise at homo what they needed for consumption and not buy from abroad. The policy was pur sued up to 1801. If wo can't raiso enough to live on, the lly-np-the-croek (whatever that may be.; Politicians in their apt speeches next Summer should hush up about "Our Grand Old State." Tho merchant, ovory crack, would rathor deal with tho farmer who can buy without a lien. *?** On His Good Ilohavior. L'.ke a good school boy, for examina tion day, tho President has washed his faco and hands, dressed his hair and brushed up his Sunday suit for tho oc oasion. A Lieut. Crawford of tho Army, of York county, was slatod to be mado a Captain, and thero was nothing but an examination to bo had for his promo tion. In tho meanwhile Crawford was engaged to bo married to a Yorkvillo young lady, the orange blossoms had boen provided and tho wedding supper prepared, when Crawford jilted tho girl, saying he did not lovo her. Tier It lends presented the case to tho Pres ident, who on investigation, rofuscd to promote him. This was dono like a Uli fellow, proves his kinship to his Georgia mother, and that the days of chivalry are not over. ? * "I Told You So." Thus write;, our good friend Gen.
