The South

The destiny of the South is the fate
of Fairfield District. While we have
no desire to screen the worst as
poets of the current of events as it
flows by, it is advisable that digni-
fed composure characterize us under
the really ominous clowd now growing
darker and darker above our,political
horizon. Let us push on as though the
utmost prosperity awaited us. 1t is
worse than childish to fold our arms
and growl over the rudeness with
which we have been treated, or put on
a long. face of melancholy at what
seems to be in store for us. Let us
rather 60 on just as if there was not a
Radical outside of the Chinese wall.
Six years of hard times must not be
lost as school of experience.

Strange Advice.

q 1t is advised by some not to plant
cotton because heavy tax is now laid
o by the General Governments upon
every pound made in the South. This
is very much akin to that advice
which prevailed to some extent before
the war, as to the purchase 'of goods.
Here is our advice, and to.give it
is just as if we were to sit on the
banks of the Niagara and advise the
waters of that stream to tumble over
the Falls. But here it is, and not to
give it or rather to advise against it,,
isrepeating the command of the fool
ish king, when seated in his throne
upon the sea-beach, he commanded the
tides to cease their flow when they
reached his chair-of-statc.
To tlse merchants-buy where you
can buy the cheapest. .
so TO the plantcrs--plant whatever
will pay most.
TO everybody and his son-study
your own interest.
