A survey of the cotton fields indicates
that nor more than 2 per cent of the crop
is unpicked. Not more than 15 or 20 per¬
cent is now in the hands of farmers:

and then there -would remain a Vast quan¬

the eastern and upper portion of the
county, in many sections, 1 find that
three-fourths of the land is in woods or
old fields. With many of our people
farming is only the last resort, Young

a large number of youths, fifteen to twen¬

few years of such work gives them a dis¬
taste for the homely work of the farm.

Over-work is the most general fault

kind of a life is it, anyhow,, tithe “driven

taking on too much labor ? VVhere’is the
enjoyment that makes life worth living?
Many persons seem to think that they
were created to work and drudge inces
santly. I was once taking dinner at a
farmer's place ami I asked .......... tlio ladvof the
•one hundred and twenty
acres." 1 said that amount of land required
a great deal of labor, she answered “that
is what we are here for." After finishing
my dinner 1 went <3ut to where' the man
was at work and spoke about the amount
of land he had and remarked that it re
epiired li land eolisiderahle immediately labor to work so

same answer as his wife, word for word.

end of man. and w oman too, was to work.
Labor is simply the means by which we

l-XIM.XNATION IN OttllEK.
Ellis G. Graydon, Representatives of Ahhovillc, Scrtrth while
in the House of or
Carolina, made a statement at Columbia,
and which is the subject of much unfa¬
vorable criticism by all ex-Confederater
and others who have heard of it. Mr.
Graydon is a prominent young man of his
section, and ran against Judge Norton,
who wears an empty sleeve, for the
judo’eshlp of that circuit. Mr. Graydon,
it iTalleo’cd, said that, scarred it wou41 RonfederiUe he good
for the sbitc if all the
soldiers were' dead, as they were people now
elected bv .the sympathy of the
when' incbnlpetejit to fill the offices to.
they were chosen. This speech who was
made in the presence of a poor man
holds it very humble office for a, few
weeks in the veal', and who was sdriously
crippled while figldiiig for bis country in
the Confederate army.
