The condition of I lie soulhorn
planter who farms upon the all cot
ton plan is very anomalous. He
sells everything he produces and lias
|o buy everything he consumes.
It is for him it this exchange balan
ces; rarely is there any surplus left
iu his bauds. When a hale of cot
ton is paid for less than a ton of
hay, or for forty bushel* of ooru, it
is only necessary to know t iat the
cotton has cost the farmer about
SBO to understand the impossibili
ty of his getting ahead iu the world.
So long as ibis exchange of his cot
ton against the supplies required
to raise it is even and both ends
are made to meet, the planter's
condition is not so much worse
than that of a very large percent
age of the reiit of iiis fellow beings,
but everybody sees at once that so
long as he does no more than this
ho is guilty of a gross neglect *of
his opportunities. Favored as ho is
by climate and soil and iu the na
ture of his product, which is always
salable on sight,, ho ought to make
money. It is by the most blamea
blo mismanagement that ho can
help it, for with a reasonable exor
cise of that faculty which the yan
koe farmer calls calculation, he
would bt'como rich iu spite of him
self. There is no excuse for pover.

drive a Confederate ordnance wag
on north of Mason & DixouV line
during the late War, His n tine is
Baliss Richardson and ho was then
in A I* Hill’a division and Jackson's
corps. It was during the memora
ble Gettysburg campaign, when Lee
invaded Pennsylvania, Mr Richard
son's wagon was the first to cross
the Potomac, and when he drove
out on the northern side his appear
ance was greeted by a shout from
all the army present. Mr Richard

moment of his life.
Postal Saviug3 Banks'
Indianapolis Journal.
Postal i-avings banks exist in
Germany, Switzerland nnd England,
bo that our government does not
enter upon an nntried experiment
jif they are established here. The
object is to encourage habits of
thrift and economy by providing
for the people alxtolutelv s* fa de
positories for small sums. There
is no country where this is more
needed than our own, Americans
are notoriously prodigal. A foolish
notion obtains that it is mean to be
saving.. Hence we have as a peo
ple, actually n -ver learned the art
of saving small sums. In part
there have been no small and abso
lutely safe securities drawing inter
est.

The Greensboro Herald says
there are farm |in Green county

a dollar per acre, if the present sys

stock is long continued, simply and
solely on the ground that they have
not limber enough on them to fence
them in.

Education.
Montgomery Advertiser.
There seems to bo somothi g of
an educational craza—some of the
funntics going so far as to advocate
a National Department of Educa
tion, and the enforcing some sort
of a system of compulsory educa
tion throngh Federal appliances.
They point t > tho Prussian system
us worthy of imitation by tho Na
tion. And yet tho effects of the
German system, as now exposed,
are certainly not calculated to com
mend it to level headed people. A
work exposing its defects by Von
Ugeuev is now attracting much at
tention. He maintains that the ris
ing generation in Germany caroa
nothing for ideal interests, is with
out piety, holds moral purity in
light respect, scoffs at authority and
generally speaking is given over to
materialism and sensuality. Ho
who denies this does not know our
young people. After all, tho best
education is homo education ami
discipline, and tho leading and liv
ing Christianity. So we got back
at last to home influence if we
would haye good men and women.
Tho State may drill soldiers, but it
oauuot rear families.
Come Back.
About eight years ago a man by
tho name of Taylor, left his wile
and tivo ehildrou in Schley county,
from some frivolous reason, and
soon after he left there woe another
son born to them. All tho prop r
ty that they possessed was oae mule
which Tuyior carried off with him.
Mrs Tuyior had worked hard .van
raising Inn children in an admira
ble way and was making some mon
ey, She had not hoard from her
husband from the day he bad left
until recently, while passing one of
her neighbors houses she was call
ed in to “see something ” when she
discovered it to bo her 1 >ng missing
husband. She fainted and fell.
That afternoon he uccomp.iuiod her
home, aud the next day sits visited
her Primitive Baptist brethren to
know if it would be against the
church regulations for her to bo the
wile of Taylor again. They did net
object, ad all is well now.
Bili. Arp's View of Preachers
I like Ike preachers. They hulti us
back from going to extremes. Tnoy
are the conservatives. They are
good citizens and set us a good ex
amide. They are the balance
wheels of society, the scotch to the
wagon, the nir brakes to the train,
the pendulum to the clock. They
are like tho Sabbath that gives us
rest and peace. They are to society
what thejudge is to the law. I love
'em all, and when they are blotted
out, which G°d forbid, I want to go,
too. In sickness, in trouble, in -af
flioti n, yea, inj the last agonies
they are with us and comfort us,
while the busy world wags on. .God
bless the preachers of this land—the
preachers ot everycreod that teacV.es
love to our Great <r and love and
kindness to one another. —Consti-
tution.
