Agricultural Department. i'pnil bY THK SECRETARY OR THE HART cov.vrr AQIiICVLTRAL SOCIETY CROP OUTLOOK. Duringjcourt week we heard from a number of our good farmers that our last report given almut the middle of last month of the condition of the •crops of the county was greatly exag gerated. We have simply this to say on that subject: our article on the con dition of the crops as then given was based entirely on the opinions we heard expressed from some of our best farmers. At thnt time, just after the Sue rains we had for some three or four weeks, there is no doubt but the out look was fine. We think now it is not so good, and the prospect is that there will be a short crop of cotton made in the county. A great many farmers, we have recently hoard express them selves that after the first picking there will in many places be none left—and therefore will make a short crop. Up tfar.d corn is about'thc same way, and will make about nothing. There is no doubt that bottom corn is fine, and there will be a good crop made on the bottoms of the county. Taking the whole outlook since the time of writing that article, we think it is not so good ; but taking everything in consideration, and comparing our county with others, we think the whole prospect is fine, and we have much to be thankful for. MANUFACTURE OF LEATHER. There is not in our county a single tanyard for the manufacture of leather. We know of no industry that will pay a greater profit, and is of greater value to the farmer. There is no community or county that can be altogether pros perous without a plentiful supply of leather to make shoes, harness and many other things needed by the far mer. In the past few years there has been a large supply of Yankee shoes and harness consumed, and the more of them you buy the poorer our people will become. These Yankee shoes are full of all kinds of devilment. Shoddy leather, and in many cases no leather at all, wooden and paper soles, iron plugs, and in fact a conglomeration of stuff that no decent man ought to wear, and besides takes four or five pairs to a year, when one good home-made pair will last a year. Many of our good farmers have stood by the good old custom of making their own leather and shoes, and those that have done so are without doubt among our most prosperous farmers. They have kept i up a small system of tanning for their own use. Hides are plentiful and can be bought cheap, while leather is one of the things that has not reduced in price, thereby making the profit almost fourfold what it used to be. Our mer chants pay Gto 8 cents per pound for dry hides, and good leather sells from 35 to 40 cents; which any one can see is a tremendous profit, as there is very little falling off in weight. Before the war there was a tanyard near Hartwell, which was a paying business, but was discontinued with the war. The site is • still there idle and can be bought cheap, l it is owned by one of our best citizens who will give inducements to any one that will start a tanyard on it. The capital required to start this business would bo very little, and we hope to see some enterprising man take hold of it. With the Railroad, soon to be in operation, it could be made a large business, for by the market it affords all the surplus leather can be readily disi>osed of. In Elbert county there is a flourish ing tan yard, which every week makes large shipments of leather to Baltimore and the North. There it is manufae t ired over, and returns to us and we pay three prices for it in the way of trash, called machine made and Yankee shoes. There are numbers of young men in our county wanting something to do that could start at this business with a little capital, and soon make-it an in • dustrv of no small dimensions. Will mot someone take hold of it. The milling industry of this country is said to rank next to that of iron The number of mills is over 2.’>,000, affording employment for over 60.000 men, whose annual wages are about $20,000,000, and turning out yearly about 50,000,000 barrels of flour, of which 4.000,000 are exj>orted to for eign countries. To think kindly is good, to speak kindly is better; but to act kindly is best. Let warm, loving light shine on all around you. YELLOW FEVER BLACK VOMIT.

Many pieces of bone t ame out of tin- right foot and leg. The case was then pronounc ed one of White Swelling.
