ma. That it has thus far fulfilled the oxpec>
tatons of its friends is abundantly evidenced
by the general ana increasing favor with
which 1t has been received. But the success
already attained, though gratifying, Is not
all that they hope for and confidently au>
ticipate 1t is especially desirable to mako
the Carolina Farmer the medium through
which the views of the most intelligent
practical farmers of tho two Carolinas may
be exchanged. The advantages of such a
medium are 80 obvious that it is not neces-
sary to enlarge on them. Your own intelli>
gence will suggest all that should be said on
this point. ....... ...
You must concede that our section Of
country needs IN organ Of this kind. We
have already suffered SO much from igno>
rance md unskifulness In tho cultivation Of
the soil. that 1t has become duty on tho
part of onr enlightened agriculturIsts to
make general and united effort for tho
correction Of tho evil. Poverty and bank
ruptcy have invaded tho homes Of our peo-
pie to n sad extent. and these evils can only
DO avcrted by improving our system Of Ag-
riculture. All wealth originates in tho soil,
and tho growth Of towns and cities without
corresponding increase In agrlcul-
ture, is Fictitious and Improbable. We
want healthy and tlourlshing agriculture
as tho basis Of our industrial system.-
When we obtain this, commerce will flour.
fsh, capital bo accumulated, manufactures
established, railroads built wherever nos Tod.
and prosperity and contentment prevail.---
AS an Intelligent and patriotic citizen ask
yourself whether you cannot do something
towards tho accomplishment Of an object so
noblo2 You may possibly think that your
individual efforts in this direction can ac>
complish nothing worthy Of note, but re>
member how great Is tho power of FREQ
press In spreading truth and correcting or.
ror! Moreover there is q common bond Of
sympathy connecting those OF like pursuits.
and word fifty spoken will often touch,
many on tho right cord, awaken In them
thought, and stir up others to give publicity
to thoughts valuable and Instructive g
The subscribers therefore appeal to YOU
as a patriot and an Intelligent farmor to aid
