We are hands off, tu the discussion of the merits and demerits of Silver as a circulating medium, for we have not had the time to study up the varied sud intricate questions connected' with this financial problem. (We are by no means sure that we could understand it if we had time.) But it seems tous that the opponents of silver work them? selves op into au OD necessary fury in discussing the. terrible horrors that sil? ver will bring upon the country when it drives gold out of circulation. J In the Netos and Courier of yester terday was a letter form Col. W. L Treoholm under the frightful head * 'The Appalling Results which must Follow the Expulsion of Gold." We have no doubt but that the letter is an able and powerful attack upon silver, but some of thc statements are a little difficult of apprehension. For instance after proving that the continued coin? age of silver ??ill demonetize gold aud thereby reduce the currency to one third its present volume, and materially j depreciate even that small amount, he say 8 : "Some unthinking people imagine that debtors will gain by the deprecia? tion of the currency, but. this is a de lu- j sion. The debtor most payas many silver dollars after the changeas if there had been no change. These dollars will be worth less to the creditor than they are now, but they will not cost the debtor less in labor or property. The creditor will lose, bot the debtor cannot gain unless he happens to have gold put away now to meet the debt, which is the happy case of no debtors except some banks of deposit." Now will not that condition of affairs be passing strange ? We confess our utter inability to understand bow it can be possible that A, the debtor, gives a certain /amount of labor or a certain arnon-1: of property fora dollar and as J lt ts paid into the hands of B, it shrinks itt value md can ter the jabot nor the prop We cann ot nuder one toan a certain amount of work will not, when paid into tbe hands of anoth? er roan, be able to purchase what it originally cost. * Col. Tren hoi m says that the only persons who might have it tn their pow? er to save themselves from loss in such a crisis as this would be, and who might succeed in securing some gain, are bankers and active, astute business men in the great cities, and the few outside of these classes, who happen to have goid ou band. ' - Now.; here is another possie. These same baokers and business men who have gold are the ones - who are most energetically fighting silver, and yet-we are told that they.are the only ones who will, gain anything by the financial cat? aclysm which wilt result form the con? trolled coinage of silver. Is it possible that our hankers and moneyed meo are se good and philanthropic that they fight silver becuse it will injure the country even though it will bring much gain to 'them* : We don't know. The whole thing pussies us. We like silver though*, all the same. RAILROAD MAT TEES.

A Marlboro Farmer Writes About a Visit to Samter County. : The following letter, published in a late issue of the Marlboro Democrat, will be found of interest to our readers : M A YES VILLE, S. C, Aug. 3, '85. Mr. Editor: Puring my visit over here I have had the pleasure of riding over a good portion of this county for the purpose of viewing the crops, and found them far beyond my most san? guine expectations. They have not suffered apparently for rain, and have been cultivated splendidly, and if the seasons continue, old Sumter county will stand in the front raok with any of her sister counties. The farmers here do not use aa mach commercial fertili? zers as in Marlboro, but make nearly all cfit at home, which you know is far better, to improve the . land-and best of all do not owe at least one half of the crop when made for fertilisers. Many of the farmers cultivate their corn and cotton after the Dixon style. It is but justice that I should speak of Mr. J. R. Phillipe* farm which is situ? ated about twelve miles from Mayesville, he has been and is now oue of the most successful farmers, of the county. He has this year about six hundred acres under cultivation. His farm is a model of neatness. To say his cotton and corn ia fine.joes not adequately express will make from 1200 to i?OO lDs7cottoirp^^ corn that will make 30 bushels t _ acre. He has some of the finest blood7^ ed cattle that one should wish to loot at, and also some very fine hogs from which be makes all the bacon he uses. My next visit was to the mill of that kind hearted man, Capt J. E. Atkins, who took special pains to show me around, and among the new inventions that he has, is a grain crusher, which will grind corn, shuck, cob and all, also F^^cut up pea Tines, grind cotton seed and m^y otuer W??CD ?8 ?ndeed a wonder^ iOTention.

The President is enjoying good health, as far as can be learned through friends, and takes much pleasure in the open-air sports, having been fishing and hunt? ing with the rest of the party.

After enjoy tog a few days pleasantly visit? ing kind friends, seeking rest and recreation, your correspondent is ready to reap the re? ward of a year of toil. When I left, the cotton was apparently burning up ia a great many places, bat upon my return was surprised to see it looking bet? ter, although no rain had fallen in the mean? time. It pays to.see new faces and different scenes sometimes ; keeps one from getting too deeply absorbed ia his surroundings; and allows him to see the progress and improvement that others ara making, thereby getting valuable bints for his OWD advancement ; at the same time preventing dissatisfaction with his home, for he feels upon returning : Truly, "There is no place like home." If we all could take two weeks vacation at "laying by" time, the pleasure, new ideas, increased vigor, and bet? ter health resulting, would be a better inter? est on the investment than we receive fromjany other two weeks of the entire year. Bot the trouble is that "laying by" is get dug to he a fable of the past. A new system of husbandry is coming into practice that keeps us always busy. The first part of the rear is devoted to the preparation and plant? ing of the staple crops of corn and cotton ; all af the intervals of their cultivation must be devoted to the harvesting of small grain, and planting peas. Then the cultivation of the pea aod other small crops takes us to the time for saving fodder and other forage. Before this is over, cotton is ready to be picked and ginned; then peas and corn harvested, pota? toes dug, and small crops attended to. At every opportunity small grain should be planted, and wheo this is finished, and all crops harvested, preparation for next year's cotton crop should receive attention. l'or the srstem outlined above to be suc? cessful we must not over crop in anything, Tor clock-work regularity is necessary to a reasonable measure of success in our work. It any one crop requires more than its share of attention, every crop in the routine will be retarded, and unless some are neglected, all will prove unreoumerative, if they are saved at all. There ctn he no dispute that the above sys? tem is obtaining largely with us. Whether it is better than the old way of one or two crops, and a "laying hy" season, theie is a differ? ence of opinion-some adberiog to the old, advocating special crops, and sticking to them,others believing in,and practicing, more or less, the diversified system. My little experience teaches me the latter course is the better. The more I diversify, the more pleasure there is in farming, and profit os weil, for I sometimes make a valuable crop at almost no expense. Where one has his land fenced off into small fields, a great many small crops, that are troublesome to gather, can be utilized by letting the stock gather for them-, yes, always changing to another field be bareing the one they are io, which can be planted in something else in a regular tion. With a few head of cattle, sheep, ts, and swine, careful management, and d judgment success is almost assured.. am not writihg this ?br the big farmers use self-binders, scr?w pulverizers, sulky plows, cotton harvesters (?), mowers, horse* rakes, cultivators, ?c., and they need not read this at all ; but it is for the consideration of the one, two, and three-horse farmers that these thoughts of a yoong fanner are penned. These big fellows usually go into some "hi? falutin" about machinery, getting rid of the .''nigger," inducing immigrants, aiod ending with a tirade of criticisms and abuse upon oar fathers wbo loved the negro; and a disgusting eu logy of Northern men and ways, uki ng as illustrations the dirtiest men they can find. From all such "gush" and "blatherskite," the good Lord deliver us. Now do not understand me as condemning the big farmers ; they are a very useful class of farmers, and I wish them " all the success they deserve ; it is the noisy ones that we do sot want to hear. Neither do I condemn the North ; for there are numbers of good people there ; bot it is the fulsome praise of everything Northern ; and mentioning things iu a laudatory way against which our manhood should revolt: and to say the least, charity teaches that we should throw the mantle of silence over what is not creditable to the North, nor to our? selves. In conclusion, if this letter brings out the many successful small farmers, who are read? ers of your valuable paper, the discussion will be of immense benefit to us, and will more than ever reflect credit upon the small farmer class of Sumter County. FIELD. OBITUARY. Departed this life at his home in Sumter County, on the 4th instant, in tho 34th year of bis age, Mr. W. B. Lynam. His sickness was of short duration when his life went out. In the prime of manhood, his death is indeed a blighting sorrow to the many who loved him. He was a member of the Methodist E. Church South, for about eight years, living a consistent Christian life. He was a high-toned gentleman, mild and un? assuming in his manner ; a good citizen, kind father and devoted husband. He leaves a dear companion with five children to mourn bis death. We sincerely sympathize with his stricken wife and dear little children. It is the Lord, let him do what seemeth bim good. Text, 1st Samuel, 3, 18. Providence, S. C., J. J. MYERS.
