That is, there are 10000 more negro
deaths than white deaths every year.
The numerical majority of the NO.

TIE NEGRO MAJORITY IN SOUTH
CARuL1NA.-Tu-dav there are 100, 600
more negroes than whites in South Ca.
rvllna.
In ten years the two races will be
equal in numbers.
1t is IL nntori"us fact that the negro
race docs not increase as fast as the
white; and we shall assume that this
deficiency of increase by births is as
thee to four. Should this assumption
appear excessive, We will throw in the
greater Immigration of whites.
The mortuary rcp"rts OF lS6o IN
Charleston show that out of a poPnla-
,ion FAC, 900, cqunIly divided between
the two races, there were l.2Oo deaths
-3Sn whites SlS negroes. That is one
white in every fifty one dies per annnm,
and one negro in every twenty four /;
which is less hon t,oo per cent. OF whites
and mare TIM" fur Pr cent oi negroes,
there bring 2n0, 900 of each in the city.
Municipal rc.uuli"ns and public hos
pitas make the mortality among the
negroes probably IS in the city than it
is in the country; but We will reckon it
the same. 1t is about the SAME wish
whites.
Now, there arc 7O0,OO0in this State,
IF which 40O, 900 are negrncs and 3O0,.
OOO whites. That is. the difference, as
already stated, is 100000
Two per cent (thc death rate of the
whites) of 3OO,OOO is 6,OOO-the num-
bcr of whites that die each year in the
State. Four per cent. (rhc death rate

THE AGRICULTURAL MEETING.
We earnestly trust that every f~rmer
in the district who is awake to his own
interest or that of the community, will
attend the agricultural meeting on Mou-
day next.
In the new departure forced upon
us in our agricultural pursuits, concert
Of action is indispensable; there is
strength in union and many sources of
Improvement are within our combined
reach, inaccessible to our individual at
tainment. When shall We reach Il gen
eral condition of improved agriculture,
if individual experiment only is to be
our teacher, shall each one so on in the
same path, making the same errors aud
blunders, while by free communication
each can start at the point of sue
cess achieved by another and guard "a
gainst the evils from which another has
suffered?
A practical, working agricultural as
sociation, will add Immensely to the
general resources of the district. 1t will
cost nothing to work it, for judicious
distribution of prizes of improved stock,
implements, fertilizers and seeds, will
add tco dollars to the wealth Of the
people to every one expended in their
purchase. All are interested in the
success of this scheme, but the most di-
rect and immediate interest is with our
country friends, and we hope they will
all be here to take an active, prominent
and efficient part in the organization
and working Of this society, and that
trey will select as officers and commit
tee men, practical, energetic, intelligent
and industrious planters who have the
capacity, will and leisure to make the
work go on. ...

DEATH OF AN AGED CITIZEN.

Mr.. LEWIS WATTS, aged nincty.two
died very suddenly on Sunday evening
last; at his residence, three miles from
Camden. We are informed that he
had a presentilnent for some weeks that
his life on earth was soon to end. On
parting with son who lives few miles
from him, the week before, lie remarked d
that that was fhe last time they would
ever shake hands, andSunday morning
told his wife he should die that day.
He was in his usual health and spirits,
passed the day pleasantly, and retired
to bed at his usual hour in the evening,
shortly after which Mrs. WATTS hear
ing him groan, went into the room, and
found him q corpse. He was native
of Kershaw, sustained the character of
an honest, upright man, and at the
time of his death was probably the old
est citizen Of the District.
