A New Farmers Club.

A number of enerprsiDg farmers 10 and about Spring
Garden and Rocky Point in New Hanover, have re-
,ntIy organized Farmers Club. The objects two
md first to institute better system of government
and treatment Of the negro population in those districts
and secondly to improve the existing system OF Agri-
.rIture In each of these important relations, much
rood is promised by this new Agricultural Association.
Constitution suitable to the objects in view, has been
optel and the Club has gone to work in real earnest
The following are the officers for the present year
GEORGE j. MOORE, Esq, President;
Mr. JOEL HINES, Vice President
Mr. HINTON +. CARR Recording Secretary;
Mr.. JAMES S. HINES, Corresponding Secy.
Monthly meetings will be held and successfully at the
houses of the members of the Club. The first regular
meeting will be held at the residence OF &lr Hinton b..
arr on the fourth Saturday in March next An eX-
rIcnt regulation adopted s that the members ut their
meetings shall walk the farm where they meet, ex-
anime the fields, fences, ditches farming implements,
yoc &c. of the owner, and at the same time freely in
rchange views in respect to the various methods AMI
.mas implements, and objects examined. This will In
uoducc method OF friendly criticism, which no one will
take offence at and which will thus draw OF each
member fund OF observations and experience that vii
make up altogether valuable stock OF practical know
ledge for the benefit Of the whole club. In this way
roo a better state of social feeling will be produced
moung the farmers. The cause Of Agriculture is ma
ay hindered by the isolated habits OF farmers They
m too little of each other know too little of one anoh
r and not enough Of each others views and experience
in farming.
New Hanover is behind in the great pursuit of Ag-
cuIture Her people too blind to the golden truth
that her swamp lands her mari BEDS and her fine forests
even, contain rich ores of agricultural wealth Rich
would now be her citizens and better of their condition
not one Of her pine trees had been boxed,
aukn been made. Let the pursuit of agriculture
yurcsede that of naval Stores and let people SEIZE
bold Of and improve the advantages which nature spreads
ont with liberal hand before them, and New Hanover
WILL in a lew years, be up to Edgecombe and othe
oased counties in raising cotton and securing wealth
by farming. We should not lag behind as we do but
animated by the spirit of progress in other counties anc
States and encouraged by what nature has done for us
and by the fact that Wilmington is one of the best mar
hrs in the country let US hold County Fairs, ant
show that We will not be outstrpped in the great caree
