ghefltly upon a diversity of crops
The country that depends upon one
market crop alone, will never be
very prosperous, unless it is preemi¬

Our seetion of the state is not.

Many crops do moderately well, but
none grow to gicat perfection. Tbc
quality may be 8°od but the yield is
moderate.
When enormous crops are pro

at moderate oost, the one market
svbtem,will do, but not here. Cot
icn the market crop of our county
is produced at a cost which falls
" little below the market price, even
under favorable circumstances, and
if disaster befalls the crop, the cost
frequently exceeds the market val

WATER POWER.
Tho water jiower in this county
on tho Tugalo, Broart and Hudson
rivers is almost unlimited. There are
also many fine shoals cn Middle
Eastannallce and Nails creek,
and on numerous smaller streams.
There is not one hundredth part of
the water power utilised.
Many circumstances combine to
make this section a desirable point
to erect machinery. The volume of
water in the streams is not materi
ally lessened by drouth, the winters
arc mild, the climate even and the
lealth unsurpassed. Remoteness
from railroads has hindered invest
me nts of capital heretofore, hut
now since our railroad facilities are
fair, there is hardly any more deair
ble point for the erection of cotton
or wellen mills, or any other ma~
chincvy requiring intensive water
power,
There has been quite an improve.

THE DEAD NEGLECTED.
Graveyard at the Baptist Church,
We have never seen a gram yard
at a chu;ch or anywhere, where new
gr3V?s were being frequently made,
so dilapidated and neglected as the
one at the Carnesville Baptist church
The fence has fallen down,. the lot
is overgi own with bushes,most of tha
graves ; re marked with a rude rock,
or teglei '.ed hi/lock, or a sink m
the earth. What a comment on tho
community. What a comment on a
prosperous church of 160 members.
W hat a sad commentary un the af¬
fection of those whose dead are
buried there. IVe understand that
an effoi t will be made to raise
funds |o put the place in decent or¬
der, and presume it will succeed.
According to Miss Mattie Watts,
who has be<*n a missionary in Bra.
zil for many years, the people in
that country are decidedly behind
the times. The men are regarded as
a superior race, and the women are
designedly kept in ignorance. The
father thinks tho boys should be edu¬
cated,but not the girls. Of the 6.000b
0C0 women, not more than half of
a million can so much as read and
write. When company comes to a
Brazilian house Ihs gentlemen go to
the gcnliemen parlor and the ladies
to the ladies’ parlor. The only
way the women ever got to see the
men was to look through fhe key
