PROSPECTUS
PROSPECTUS
OF THE
,NARM8B,& @42EEZB
CHERAw ADVERTISER.


The Editor of the Cheraw Gazette has de-
termined, at the suggestioL OF the Pee Dee
Agricultural Society, to devote more space
than formerly to Agriculture, and matters per-
tanning specially to it's interests. About nine
columns, or page and half weekly, will be
occupied with this subject, except when 1t
shall be necessary to make room for Executive
Messages, and a few other political papers
such as every intelligent citizen ought to read.
A large proportion of what shall appear under
the Agricultural head must, of course, be sc.
lected. But the numerous Agricultural peri
oiicals now published in this country afford
abundant and excellent materials for selection;
and, after short time, the reports, and other
papers Of the Pee Dee Agricultural Society
will Of themselves, form no inconsiderable
body of original matter, all Of 1t adapted par.
ticularly to this part of the country. And i:
is hoped, also. that among the numerous IN.
teligept and enterpr,sing planters of the sur
rounding districts and counties some may be
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
Editors attention the culture Of silk shall not
be overlooked Ample instructions viii be
given, in their proper season, for cultlyatIng
the naorus nsunicaulis and making silk.
The paper viii espouse the cause OF no party
in politics, but shall contain an impartial sum.
mary of political intelligence, and, occasionally,
able speeches and well written essays (when
met with) fairly discussing the principles and
measures of all parties. tits believed that
comparatively small space devoted to political
subjects in this way may be made more protta-
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 intelh.

lated to estrange neighbor from neighoor, or

country are less patriotic than the other, or
less araently attached to our republican nss''
