LET THE SOUTH ADVANCE.

God bade the sun, with golden step sublime,
Advance
He whispered in the listening ear Of Time,
Advance
He bade the guiding spirits of the stars
With Lsntning speed, in silver-shining cars,
Along the bright floor of his azure hall,
Advance!
Sun, Stars and Time obey the voice, and all
Advance!
The river, at its bnbbling fountain, cries
Advance!
The clouds proclaim ike heralds thro' the skies,
Advance!
Throughoutthe world the mighty M lstar's laws
Allow not one brief moments idle pause.
The earth is full of life; the swelling seeds
Advance!
And summer hours, like Aowery harnessed
steeds,
Advance!
To mans most wondrous hand the same voice
cried
Advance
Go clear the woods, and Ger the bounding tide
Advance!
Go draw the marble from its secret bed,
And make the cedar bend its giant head;
Let domes and columns, thro' the wondering air
Advance!
The world, 0 man! is thine. But wouldst thou
share.
Advance!
Uato the soul of man the same voice spoke,
Advance!
From out the chaos, thunder-like, it broke,
Advance!
Go track the comet in its wheeling race,
And dragthe lightning from its hiding place,
From out the night OF ignorance and fears,
Advance!
For love and hope, borne by the coming years,
Advance!
iAll heard, and some obeyed the great command
Advance
II passed along from listening land to land,
Advance!
The strong grew stronger, and the weak grew
strong,
As passed the war cry of the world along
Awake, ye SoU1H! know your power and
rights!
Advance
Through hope and work to freedoms new de-
lights
Advance!

MODE OF HANDLING COTTON.

Iii usual for cotton. growers to sun
their cotton as they gather il. and then
Gin il rs early as possible. This is clear.
ly wrong Cotton should never be sun.
ned, unless t'be such as has been gath
cred quite wet with rain: nor should il
be ginned until it has been heated.
Heat HHrTast dlluses oil, and we know there
is large quantity in cotton seed.
Now put It together as you gather 1t.
both morning and evening. and there
is sufficient moisture 10 make i heat.
This being the case, the oil In the seed
is ditIused throughout the lint, for it
cannot evaporate. When il remains
in this situation sufficient length NJ
time to spoil the seed, the cotton should
be thrown up and cooled. Care should
be taken not to let it turn blue this,
however, is not so easily done as you
might suppose.
The process OF turning over and
throwing up will likely have TO be re.
peated two or three times before the
seed are entirely spoiled. The trouble
of overiurning or tossing it up in the
cotton or gin house, is not greater than
summing it on n scalold BY this pro-
cess you gain the weight of the oil
which is dil'used throughout the lint
which gives the cotton the oily gold
color which is desirable, and also that
elasticity and adhesive quality like
wool. which never fails to enhance its
value.
But there are other advantages grow
ing out of this operation; the gin will
pick at least one.sixth faster, and clean
the seed much cleaner when the cot~
ton has thus been compressed together,
and instead of cutting off short particles
as is always the case when the cotton
is open and fresh, the saws take it oft
in large flakes, thereby making the sta
pie longer and stronger
Every farmer knows that his early
cotton oulweighs, and has better
staple than his late cotton; and he also
knows that the earlier it is gathered af>
ter it opens the better. Now, these
facts show the correctness OF this theS
ory for exposure to the sun and rains
evaporates the oil from the seed, and
makes the lint short and light.
Farmers should secure in dry wealth
er and from evening pickings,n house
to itself, or portion Of the gin, sufii.
cient Of dry, good cotton TO make seed,
but the balance Of their crop they
should be sure to subject to the process
of heating and cooling in the shade.

RAYMOND RATIFICATION MEETING.

Raymond Ratification Meeting, held ON
Monday last. in this county. A more
respectable, weighty and influential

They ratified the proceedings of the

OF the masses could be heard silencing

Old Kinds is right. The proceedings

SECESSION by THE NoRTH.-To those in the
South who possess Northern feelings; who, by
their voices and efforts, are the co-workers with
our Northern enemies in the attempt to make
the South submit to their domination and to
inlamy and ruin-to these, who to accomplish
these ends, denounce Southern patriots South
ern gentlemen, as traitors, and as bringing up
on themselves disgrace, when, after having
tried long and in vain to have their rights ac-
knowledged, they show themselves determin.
ed to secede from a union, odious, because it
keeps them in peril and dshonor--to these we
commend this extract from the Randolph
Epstles, showing what their loyal North has
done:
Ienr times within the past half century
has Massachusetts and her staid and sober
sisters Of New England, menaced a dis
mcmbcrmeW Of the Union, and Northern
Confederacy; and on these memorable occa.
sions; In lS03-i, on account Of the slave ter.
ritory.of Louisiana: In 180s.9, on account OF
the embargo: In 1925, on account Of the
American-British war; and, in 1915. on
account Of the annexation of Texas That
will do, methinks, for one.Lalf century
Quite enough 10 contrast with single act
Of NuliiGcation which looked 10 10 dis.
membe,mem at all! And quite enough be-
sides to seal New England's lips for ave,
and in estoppel, from contestng right ot
SeccSsj0n in any other States or sections, OF
their associate aud resulting right of deciding
upon the occasions for its exercise But af
pr all, they did not sccede and dismembei
the Union No the didn't and that was de.
cisive as a fC1ct. But they insisted and re.
