CHERAW ADVERTlSER.

CHERAw ADVERTISER.
The Editor of the Cheraw Gazette has do.
termined, at the suggestion OF the Fee Lee
Agricultural Society, to devote more space
than formerly to Agriculture, and matters per-
tanning specially to its interests. About nne
columns, or a page and half weekly, will be
occupied with this subject, except when It
shall be necessary to make room for Executive
Messages, and a few other political papers
such as every intelligent citizen ought to read
A larye proportion Of what shall appear under
the Agricultural head must, of course, be se.
lected. But tho numerous Agricultural PERI:
odicals now published in this country afford
abundant and excellent materials for seiection;
and, after a short time, the reports, and other
papers of the Pee Dee Agricultural Society
will Of themselves, form no inconsideraoie
body Of original matter, all of It adapted par.
ticularly to this part of the country. And II
is hoped, also. that among the numerous IN.
telligent and enterprsing planters OF the sur.
rounding districts and counties some may oe
found who will, occasionally. take the trouble
of contributing to the columns OF the paper the
result of their experience.
Among the subjects which will engage the
Editor's attention the culture Of silk shall not
be overlooked. Ample instructions will be
given, In their proper season, for cultivating
the ssorus nsuuicaulis and making silk 4.
The paper will espouse the cause ofno party
in politics, but shall contain an impartial sDp.
mary of political intelligence, and, occasionally,
able speeches and well written essays (when
met with) fairly discussing the principles and
measures of all parties. ltis believed that q
comparatively small space devoted to political
subjects in this way may be made more profita-
bic to the Farmer Of domestic habits, who wish
es to be acquainted with the true state Of the
country and qualified for proper and intelli.
gent discharge ofthe duties ofcitizenshiP, than
whole sheet filed, from week to week, and
year to year, with one-sided discussions, and
the mere quarrels Of editors and politicians
whilst, at the same time, e .a as. ,s;cSScr an
lated to estrapge neighbor from he'gaooi, or
to mislead into belief that one hali OF the
country are less patriotic than the o'ner' or
less ardently attached to our republican lnst''
tutions.
So much of the fourth page as shall not be
occupied with standing advertisements Will
generally be filled up with matter Of moral and
religious cast, and articles conducive, in other
respects, to proper family instruction and family
discipline.
II the increase to the subscription List upon
issuing this Prospectus shall be sufficient to
warrant the expense, new type will be pro.
cured, forthwith, for the body OF the paper /;
that is for the part now printed in large letter
and at the commencement of the next volume
the title of the paper will be changed to
Farmer's Gazette and Cherav Advertiser.
