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.

Logan & Logan Shelbyville, Ky
"Mogul," alias Pedro.
About the first Novombor 1 be
gan shelling tho woods around
Kinurds to locato tho enemy and
estimate his foroo. It seems I suc
ceeded admirably. His battery is
still unma?l<od. It i3 difficult to
classify this peculiar species of tin
gonus nomo I first thought, from |
tho length of his probocis and tho
rattlo of his horn, that ho was an
horculoau Mogul, roaming around
seeking whom ho might devour.
Since his last giratious ho seems
to ho a bi-ped quadruped or a Ped
ro. Ho first said that tho petition
ers wore taxpayers of Laurcns
county; now, he says, if they are
not taxpayors thoy daily travel
tho Ninety six road. 1 can not
conceive what business twelve stal
wart sons of Nowborry can have
perambulating up and down tho
Ninetysix road daily, unless its
quiet soronity and superb scenery
aro irresistable to theso sons of
leisure.
Now, wo have a law in Luurone
county that provides employment
for all who have no visible means
of support, ovor which body 1 have
tho honor to preside. If those
Pod-ros, or sons of rest, will mi
grate across the lino we will -give
thom our special caro. Ped-ro,
true to the instincts of his nature,
with his bristlos up liko a Porcu
piuo's, makes another throat. ''If
you do not work tho Ninetysix
road I will report you again with
twelve more giants of tho sons of
rest, added to the petition. As
Ped-ro's measurement is by grains
24 grains make one pwt., 20 pwt
mako one oz. and 12 oz. a pound,
his fractional part of an ounce
will not effect a pound of cure.
He says I am iudigiuvit; but ho is
mistaken. I am amused at his
cheek. It rominds me of my boy
hood. While hunting, wo would
got tho rabbit up tho hollow or tho
coon "up tho gum slump," and
tlion how thoy would squirm and
twist when the twist-rod was ap
plied to tho wool. Take your med
icine kindly, Ped-ro, "it will do
thee good." Ho says again, ho is
not personal. This I know, for I
doubt if wo have over mot; but
my oHicial position seems to be
tho thorn in tho llesh.
Now, these .hings do not move
me. If you n find any pleasure
in trying to injure your fellow*
man, theo go on with your silicon
"I wi 1 be at the funeral." Noth
ing personal in what 1 havo said.
I am just shelling the woods. 11 a
stray shot hits somo follow down
at Kinarde, lot him wince. No, I
can moot Ped-ro and shako hands
acioss tho "bloody chasm," and
kiss and mako friends, provided
tho Ninetysix road intervenes.

Reply lo Mr. Drummond.
My attention has been called
to un article in your paper of Nov.
1st, by Mr. Drummond, County
Supervisor, wherein that goutle
man seems much wrought up, not
over his failure to do his duty on
that part of the Ninoty Six public
road, over which ho has jurisdic
tion, but because ho was reported
aud consurcd by tho Grand Jury.
Hoseems to think a potition
with but twelve signatures an in
sult. Had I known it, there
should havo boon at loast twenty
four. Every man who signed tho
potition either owns land in Lau
rons oouoty or travels it daily,
and furnishes bauds to work that
road. Thoroforo, thoy had a per
fect light to sook redress through
tho only channel open to thorn,
?spociaily so after having notified
Mr. Drummond twieo by letter
and onco othorwiso as to tho bad
condition of that part of the
Ninety Six road in question, and
tho parties offered to repair a
bridge, which was almost impas
sable, if Mr. Drummond would
furnish tho matorial. No atten
tion was paid the request, yet ho
is indignant because ho has been
reported. Wo did not petition
against Mr. Drummond as a citi
zen, but as an official whoso duty
it is to keep ail roads under his
care in passable condition, irre
spective of any personal consider
ation, and I am authorized to
state that, while wo do not wish
to drive him to his duty, if some
t hing is not dono to the road be
fore the next term of court, we
will agaiu send a petition, which,
for the Bake of tho gentleman's
pride, will have at least 21 signa
tures,
