LABOR-
A FEW PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS.
The labor question is one of great
moment just now, and the course to
be pursued is hard to determine. It
is an utter imposibility to cultivate
the lands now open to any advantage.
In the first place, the labor is not
equal to the emergency and in the
next place, about fifty per cent of
the land now in cultivation does not
pay expenses, together with the in
come from the other fifty per cent.—
Now, as retrenchment is the order of
the times. Suppose the farmers of
this once grand old agricultural coun
ty, change their tactics and try for a
season intensive farming. Plant fifty
per cent, less, prepare, manure and
work one hundred per cent, better
and see what the result will be the
first year and if satisfactory results
are obtained, then reduce the acreage
again in the same proportion and in
crease the amount of manure, more
thoroughly prepare, work the crop I
faster, which you will be enabled to
do, and the results will be even better
and when you bring your lands up to t
the point where one acre will yield
as much as four acres under the old '
system (extensive), then and not till
then will prosperity with her benign
influence begin to smile upon us. i
Wiien you have from practical expe- '
rience demonstrated the fact that
more money can be realized from
one acre well tilled than from four or
five in the usual “slip shod” way, you
will as sensible farmers abandon the
old and embrace the new. This,
course strictly followed by all our'
j farmers will have a very happy effect
upon labor, giving employment only
to those that will do their duty. To
follow up this line would revolution
ize things generally and in a few
years it will be, who will I take, not
who can I get. When the product of
the average hundred acres the coun
| try over can be obtainted from twen
I ty-tive acres the question of labor is
1 settled. We would like to hear from
> some of our farmers on this line.

HAPPY MARRIAGE
of two of Columbia’s fair
DAUGHTERS.
The residence of Captain and Mrs.
W. L. Benton was the scene of a hap
py marriage on Wednesday of last
week. The contracting parties were
Miss Mattie Benton and Rev. Mr.
Griner, of the South Georgia Confer
ence. The family and a few friends
witnessed the ceremony which was
performed by Rev. E. P. Bonner in a
happy and most impressive manner.
The groom was indeed fortunate in
winning the hand of one of the fair
est of Columbia's fair daughters. The
Sentinel extends congratulations and
best wishes for a long and prosper
ous life.
On the same day, at the residence
of Mr. and Mrs. Win. Cliatt, a
number of relatives and friends
witnessed the marriage of Mr. Robt.
Glisson and Miss Lizzie Cliatt. The
cennony was performed by our senior
editor. We tender congratulations
with the hope that their lives may be
one of perpetual sunshine.
LAST ROUND-
OUR TAX COLLECTOR AND THE
JUNIOR EDITOR PERAMBULATING
LN SEARCH OF FUNDS.
The writer in company with our
efficient Tax Collector spent last
Thursday at Luke’s store. We took
dinner with friend I. M. Miles, whose
hospitality is unbounded, aim at long
intervals continued to receive and re
ceipt for taxes for the year 188(>. At
3:30 we left for Dunn's Chapel via
Thos. A. Blanchard’s, where we called
a halt and spent the night very
pleasantly. After a pleasant, social
evening, interspersed with charming
music by Mr. Blancluud and his
neice, Miss Bessie Norman, an ac
complished young lady and well
known in Harlem, we retired to
dream of tax collecting, sweet strains
of soothing music (violin accompani
ment) but not so, as usual, disap
pointment came. There was nothing
elisium about it. Reader, imagine a
man about 5 feet 8, weighing some
thing less than a thousand, with a
fc vrful cold, lying Hat of his back,
fast asleep. Your first impulse would
Le to exclaim, of course he did not
snore, but he did, consequent/ n>
time for dreaming.
At an early hour wo were at as is
usual a well regulated farm house,
and after a sumptuous breakfast (the
product of the farm, with the ex
ception of sugar and coffee) we left 1
for the “Chappel” where wo met '
quite a few of the citizens of that
portion of the “Republic of Colum
bia.” At 12:30 sharp we began to
retrace our steps and by invitation
stopped at Mr. B’e and took dinner.
The distance to Harlem made it
necessary to say good-bye at an
early hour, though with regrets,
however, and soon we were en-route
for home, if not happier, wiser men,
and fully persuaded of the scarcity
of money in the county. Cotton
nearly all gathered, and in many
places the land being seeded to grain.
The writer was on a two-fold trip,
first and foremost, of course, was to
assist my friend in the collection of
taxes, secondly to solicit new sub-
tTerms, SICA Year In Advance
scriptions and collect old ones for the
county paper, and oue of the eviden*
ces of the scarcity of money, and to
bear* us up in the statement, is the
fact that collections amounted to $2.00
Ja.
OUR NEIGHBORS*
GLEANINGS FROM EXCHANGES |Jt
OUR SISTER COUNTIES.
LINCOLN
Lincolnton News: The editor of th*
News is under lasting obligations to
Rem Crawford for introducing a cer
tain patent medicine in our midst. If
Rem ever does need a friend he can
roly on us. “May Isis and Osina
guard him.”
Mrs. Robert Blanchard has moved
back to the village. Every house in
town is now occupied and soon the
sound of the ax and hammer will
signal the going up of several Dew
residences, Lincolnton is getting
astride a big old boom.
WILKES.
Washington Gazette: One of our
most popular young planters will soon
form un alliance for life with a Colum
bia county young lady.
Mr. Olis 1 larnesberger sold a hun
dred bushels of home made corn in
the ear to Me.-srs. Maguire <St Dillard
on Monday.
There are four government pen
sioners in this county. Three are
widows of soldiers of the war of 1812
and draw twelve dollars each per
month.
Mr. W. W. Simpson informa ua
that on Tuesday he and Mr. J. W
Callaway were out fishing when the
latter caught two suckers at one pulL
They were good size fish each measur
ing twelve or thirteen inches.
A few evenings ago some of the
boys bet Mat Talbot that he couldn’t
put his heels under the side of a hori
zontal barrel and ki-:k it up as high as
the top of the counter. He took
banter and the floor took him at full
length before he got through strug
gling with the barrel.
MANCOCK.
Sparta Ishmaulito: Frank White
made six heavy bales of cotton on the
5-acre patches about his house. Boll
worms and dry weather cut short the
yield.
"That programme,” (the bill of fare)
got Wolf Silver into trouble at the
Kimball House. The boys say he
ordered mushroom on possum, and
his breakfast cost him $1.50. Wolf is
nothing if not tony in his eating.
John Pinkston found a wild man in
an iron cage at the Kimball House in
Atlanta, but when he saw his mistake
he took a ride with the wild fellow
up to the top of the building and back
again. When he landed he exclaim*
ed: “I golly boys, don’t that bolivator
fly?”
GLASCOCK.
Gibson Enterprise: On Wednesday
Dr. Lawrence Kelley and family who.
have spent several weeks visiting re
latives in our town and at other
places, left for their home in Windsor,
Fla., The Dr. was formerly a citizen
of this place, and has many friends
here who were pleased to see him and
glad to learn that he is prospering in
the “land of flowers.”
Professor Ware, of Gibson, came
down on the passenger on Saturday
morning, and the writer had the
privilege of currying him out to
Stellaville. The Professor went to
Stellaville prospecting for a school.
It was the first time I ever had the
pleasure of meeting Prof. Ware, and
I formed a very high opinion of him.
I took him to be a nice, Christian
gentleman. I would be glad if he
could get the school. He went to
Augusta on Sunday to attend
iu the Medical College.
