THE COTTON CROP OF 1869.

The commercial wiseacres of the North have
commenced making estimates of this years cotton
crop. Strange as it may seem to our readers,
these gentlemen figure it out to their own satistac-
ton that the crop will be large one. The rea-
sons assigned for this expectation are that the
planters have put in larger area than usual that
they have applied large quantity of fertilizers to
the crop, which will increase the yield per acre !;
that they are better supplied with mules, imple-
ments and provisions than at any time SINCE the
war; and that laborers are working better. 1nau-
enced by these ideas, and also on the principle
that the wish is father to the thought the Journal
of Commerce thinks the crop will reach 100000
bales, and the Boston Journal puts it within CO.,
600 bales of the same figures. The late injuries
to the crop, reported by Southern papers, are con-
sidered as triAing circumstance which will not
materially affect the yield
On the other hand, the Memphis Convention,
composed in great part of men who had IN expert
mental knowledge of the subject, expressed the
following opinion, which, it should be remembered,
was given before the destructive frosts and cold
weather of May had occurred:
mo material increase in the production of cot
ton can be expected from the Southern States, un-
less our supply of labor is increased by immigra-
| ton. Notwithstanding the remarks of the Hon.
Reverdy johnson, who recently, in the town hall
at Manchester, assured the people of Lancashire
that when free labor comes to be properly devel
oped and organized Manchester will rejoice,
not only in four or five, but in few years, in six
or seven millions of bales from America, we are
forced to the conclusion that the average yield Of
the Southern cotton crops, with the present labor
system cannot exceed 2,5000, 900. Could we grow
5000, 1000, it could not be picked out and saved
! His hearers, the English people, have had some
experience in developing and organizing free labor
in their West India possessions for nearly gener
alton, and they are better judges than that distn
guished dipomatist, whose experience extends on
fy overthe past three years. Such remarks clearly
show what errors men of distinguished abilities tai
into, when they leave the sphere in which they
usually revolve and venture to give opinions or
subjects Of which they have no practical intorma
ton.
So far from looking for any speedy increase ii
the cotton crops of the United States, we fear or
the other hand that labor in cotton culture is fast
diminishing. 1t is from three causes: Emigration
from the cotton fields to towns and cities; the
deaths on the plantations; and the retiring o1
women from cotton growing. Nothing but the
free use of fertilizers and the best success in cult
waiting the land planted can keep the average cot
ton yield, with the present labor, up to two and
half millions of bales The picking ,power..the
quantity that can be picked-is the limit OF oul
capacity in producing cotton; and, even It the
present labor could produce more, we could not
save more"

We learn from the County Auditor, that the
Tax Books will be turned over to the County Treas
urer during the first or second week of July. d, As
soon as the Treasurer gets possession Of the books
he will begin the collection of taxes not, however,
without giving one weeks notice through the COL

We publish this information in order that our
people may have all possible time to raise the
amount of their taxes. Thenotice is short at best

RED CLovER-TURNIPS.
We now and then meet man enthusiastic on
the subject of clover. Such we hail as "a man
and brother" The value of this crop We need
not discuss From the agricultural periodicals
this as well as the manner of culture, can be learn.
ed. We have seen a lot lately, about two acres,
old 6eld-pine land, well set in clover. About one
acre was manured, 80 as to bring 20 to 25 bushels
of corn to the acre; the other poor. On the good
acre the clover is 80 to a inches high on the
poor 10 to "a inches Nearly every foot could have
been moved. 1t was equal to anything saw in
the clover States. We believe that a lot or field
will be worth as much in clover as the same in
corn, and then the land will be improved 25 per
cent. Now is the time for farmers to think absdt
this crop. Select lot at once, and be ready with
seed by the close of the year. Let several farmers
combine and order through some merchant, and
they can get the seed for 20 cents per pound OF
less.
Would you like to have fine turnips both for
table use and stock? If so delay not another day
with your plans and preparations. First, ploW
deep and thoroughly and manure literally .sec-
ondy, get good seed of good varieties; thirdly,
plant in drills l6 to "a inches and cultivate well
fourthly, you will have turnips enough and few
for your neighbors We like the Flat Dutch, Red
Top, Strap Leaf, Yellow Aberdeen, and Norfolk!
The old fashioned Seven Top is fair table turip,
and the best for salad or greens that we know.
Select your varieties and procure the seed at once
from some responsible dealer in garden seeds; that
is if you do not raise good seed for yourself P.

EDITORIAL INKLINGS.

D. H. Chamberlain, ESQ.,, the Attorney
General of South Carolina, has recently decided
that "Bls Receivable of this State are not a
g, =. lender in payment of County taxes, as on
their face they are simply made receivable for 'al
dues to the State" Tax payers will remember,
therefore, that the County taxes must be paid in
'greenbacks," gold or silver, as may be preferred
In some portions of the State the collection Of
taxes has already been commenced. ..-
Enrolment of the Militia.
in accordance with orders received from Gov
ernor Scott, the Adjutant-G General has instructed
the census-takers to enroll all the citizens of the
State between the ages of eighteen and forty-fve
years. There are two forms for the enrolment; /;
one embracing all between eighteen and thirty
years, and the other those between thirty and for
ty-fve years. There is to be no exception what
ever in the enrolment and all who desire exemp-
ton are required to apply to the Adutant General
Office, Columbia.
Dancing Dignitaries.
- The Naval ball, recently given at Washing
ton, furnished the enterprising correspondent of
the New York Herald fine theme for the display
of his descriptive powers There were many per-
SONS of note among the dancers; but the Herald
man awards the palm to Gen. Sherman, as Gun
questionaby the best and the most graceful dancer
among the gentlemen Gen. Grant made no
very brilliant exhibition of his agility; but, being
under the care of Mrs. Admiral Porter, he manag-
ed to go through the evolutions after fashion.
The Herald says the President was always getting
in somebody's way, and undoubtedly felt much en-
barrassed by having the graceful and fascinating
Sherman for his vis.a-vis. Secretary Bore, how
ever, made the most lucky hit Of the evening.
The floor had been well waxed, and as MIR. Borie
was tripping it on the light fantastic toe," his
foot slipped and the unfortunate Secretary came in
contact with the floor ''stern foremost" in the
language of the Herald. The irreverent ''middies'
present enjoyed the mishap Of their chief hugely
but Admiral Porter and the President rushed to
his side and soon put him on his pins again.
The President General and his court seem to be
having good time. It will doubtless be pleas
ing surprise to our readers to learn that the grim
remorseless Sherman is such graceful fellow.
National Meeting of Sons of Temperance.
The National Division of Sons of Temper

On calling the roll, one hundred and twenty dele

"A clerk in the Treasury Department was
discharged few days ago. because he said Gene
raj Grant had been proved liar in the difficulty
be had with ex- President johnson. When brought
up to answer for this indiscretion, he protested
that he only said the weight of testimony upon
President Johhson's side. The explanation was
not satisfactory, and the gentleman was requested
to vacate his Office.
All right. The fellow had perfect right to
think what he pleased about Gen. Grants veraci,

express an opinion about it. The true ofice-hold'

THE AIR LINE RAILROAD.

AS the time for the location Of this important
road approaches, the people of various sections
are Offering inducements to the directors to run the
road through their respective counties. Ander-
son, Spartanburg and Greenville have gore to work
to secure this valuable outlet for their home pro-
..,ctiops. Greenville has taken the lead in the
latter, and is taking such energetic action that
the end she has in view will probably be accom-
plished.
A meeting of the citizens Of that county was
held on sales-day at which the following programme
was adopted: First the municipal authorities OF
the town were requested to solicit subscriptions in
money or land for the proposed road, from the
citizens of the town. Second, the selectmen OF the
various townships were requested to hold meet
ings and solicit similar subscriptions from the peo-
pie of their respective townships. Third, COM
mittee of FIVE were appointed to solicit subscnp-
tious throughout the county, and make arrange
ments for holding an Airline Railroad mass meet
ing and barbecue in July. All the subscriptions
secured are to be on condition that the road shall
run through the town of Greenvile A committee
of fifteen was appointed to secure this condition,
who were authorized to take such steps as in their
Judgment may be necessary for this end.
It is high time the people Of York were moving
in this matter, if they really wish the railroad to
pass near or through our town. We publish what
Greenville has done, both as proof Of what other
counties are doing and as an example Of the proper
course to pursue. Yorkville has decided advan,
tage over Greenvie in the fact that it lies nearer
the airline between Atlanta and Charlotte But
this advantage will be lost, -four people offer nc
inducements to bring the road this way, while 9TH
er places are doing all in their power to take it
another course. The road will be built along that
route which is most disposed to help it. The di'
rectors will hardly move their road here simply
as a matter of accommodation. Their object will
be to accommodate subscribers to their enterprise.
If we want help, we must help ourselves, and now
is the golden opportunity. Who will undertake
the task of interesting our people in this important

we will be called to give an account of our stew
