COTToN.-Some of our people
seem more readily persuaded by
Northern papers in their advice
to continue the exclusive cultiva-
ton of cotton, than they are by
papers of their own section, which
urge the necessity of a different
policy in our agricultural pursuits.
Is it not at once apparent that it
is greatly the interest of the
North, and particularly the New
England States, to keep the cot
ton culture alive in the South? If
we stop cotton growing, or manu-
facture all we raise, all of the i'm
mense factories in the North in
which millions upon millions OF
dollars are invested, will tumble
! y
into ruins. They can appreciate
this fact better than we, and this
is the most important reason why
they wish us to preserve In that
which is enriching them and their
section, and, at the same time, is
dragging us deeper into poverty
and distress. Not content with
getting all of our cotton at a mere
nominal price, they have through
their representatives, put a tax o1
three cents per pound upon all
the raw material, and this outra
geous imposition, united with thu
, unavoidable expenses, the damage
done by worms, the hire paid TO
, laborers, the wear and tear of th'
land, will make cotton culture un
, profitable, at the present prices
r even upon land that will produc
+ a bale to the acre. Let our plan
l ters be guided by their own expt
e rience, and the advice of thos
/ who are identified with their IL
: terests, and not be. deluded b
f Northern selfshness into bringin
h ruin upon themselves.-lsouther

thing that he could not raise on

thing that he could not raise on
his>own land.
The first consideration of a far
mer should be an abundant pro-
vision for his family, and his
stock. He should be content with
a mere supply for his own farm
he should raise surplus, so as to
have something to sell. This
would keep Idown the provision
market, and tend to lower rents,
and cheaper goods generally, as
well as foster our own internal
trade, and keep money circulating
between our country and town.
Besides, surplus crops of corn,
wheat, oats, rye, hay, turnips,
beets and other vegetables would
enable the farmer to increase his
stock of cattle, horses, mules,
sheep, goats, hogs and poultry, all
Of which would be profitable to
the whole people of the State as
we'll as the farmer individually.
In addition, every farm should
have a good vegetable garden; at
least, with a peach and apple
orchard. The garden is light la
Dor, and the orchard requires but
little trouble at odd hours. If a
farmer has placed his farm in this
conditions, with plenty Of bread
and meat, vegetables and fruit
and surplus to sell, and has still
a surplus of time and labor Oh
hand, let him plant cotton. Ifthe
season is favorable, and the worm
not troublesome, whatever he
makes will be clear gain, i
the crop should fail. At al
events, he will not be obliged t.
spend money for his family sup
plies. In this way he will alway
have plenty, and a little to spare
even ifhis cotton crop falls Mo
? bile Times.

The First Duty of a Farmer.

The Southern press, almost uni
versally, have for years been re
monstrating with the farmers or
planters, for making the cotton
crop their first, and indeed in
some respects their only, consid-
GRAFTON. One Of the consequences
was that they were almost always
in debt, either to commission mer-
chants for advances, or to the
grocers for home supplies. Living
always on a credit system, they
had to pay heavy per centage
for the apparent favors they re-
ceive, whereas clear sense of
their own interest should have
made them avoid snbjeeting them
selves to such costly obligations.
If all experience before the war
was thrown away upon them, sure
lily the experience of the last few
years ought to warn them of the
| folly of trusting their hopes Of
home supplies to the doubtful
prospects of, at least, an uncertain
crop, and in the face of falling
market.
/ The late war in this country,
cutting off in great degree the
supply Of American cotton from
the English market, caused the
price to rise to an extraordinary
height. The natural consequence
followed the increased price brougt
about an increased supply. Che
cultivation of cotton increased IL
India, Egypt, Brazil and Algeria,
. and now has extended to Australia
and as rise in price increased the
supply, an increase in the supply
g has reacted and reduced the price
q And since the peace, if indeed w
!, can be said to have peace, ant
e since the American crop has beel
added to the market supply, tn
price has been steadily dropping

The Way to Do It.

Ifyou wish to keep your city from
thriving turn the cold shoulder to
every young, mechanic or begin
ner in business. Discourage him
in his attempts to build up q sue
cessful and honorable business
and to earn a livelihood. If he
asks you for share of your pat
ronage frown upon him and give
your business to those who are
far less worthy of it. Decry his
work and send abroad for what
you can have done at home. If
you see a young man struggling
to establish business for himself
throw your influence on the side
of some more powerful concern
and break him down. Wherever
you see young men of energy
pushing ahead throw all the
obstacles you can in their path,
give them none of your business,
and patronize those who have
nothing in affinity with you and
whose only object is to make mon
ey out of you and others-having
no care or interest in the prosper
ity of the city. This you will find
an infailable plan to retard the
growth of your city. On the other
hand if you would see your city
grow, prosper and thrive, lend q
helping hand to every worthy
young man you meet. If he is
starting in business encourage
him with kind words; give him
O trial and if his work justifes' it
continue your patronage. Help
to make his efforts successful; il
he deserves it's a steady, indus
trious and worthy man-you will
never regret it. Assist every new
enterprise-give it a trial and test
it's worth. Be liberal in your
ideas and patronage, and confne
yourself to no narrow plan. See
who deserves patronage and to
him give it. Support your papers
, Welcome every new beginner and
: encourage him in the struggle for
! success. This you will find is the
proper way to increase the pros
perity Of your city and increase
/. its growth.-[Mobile Tribune.

AN INNOCENT MlIDEN.-As q
weary traveller was vending his way
through the far west region, he dis
covered a young maiden seated in

He rode up in front of the cabin and
asked the girl for a drink of water.
He drank it, and she being the first
woman he had seen in several days.
offered her a dime for a kiss The
maiden accepted the offer, receiving
both the dime and the kiss. The
traveller was about to resume his
journey, but the gill, never having
before seen dime, artlessly inquired
of him:
"What am to do with this dime,

"You may use it as you please, it
is yours"
