The Radical Nominations in Kershaw Co

In our remarks last week concerning the
chances for reform in the next Legislature, we
took occasion to refer to the counties of Ker-
shaw and Aiken as proof that the Moses fac
tion would not improve the complexion of the
General Assembly. AS supporting evidence OF
our estimate regarding the nominations made
in Kershaw, we submit the following extract
from the Camden Journal:
Had anything been wanting to give the coup
de grace to the Moses party here, the county
nominations made by their convention last
week, has most effectually administered it. 1t
is very evident that there cannot be pure and
honest administration of the State government,
so long as the legislature remains hopelessly
corrupt. The purest and best men would be
powerless to arrest the legislation of corrupt
General Assembly, unless one-third of that
body was composed of men of intelligence and
integrity of character, to sustain his vetoes and
to prevent impeachment. Had it suited MIR.
Moses to reform the administration of affairs,
he would have taken care to secure the nomina-
tion by his friends in the several counties, OF
a proportion of such men in the Legislature and
in the county offices, as could have been relied
OH to sustain him in an honorable and upright
course. Instead of this, we feel compelled to
declare that the nominees of the Moses faction
here, could rot have been packed by the thieves
and swindlers, whose vocation it is to use the
legislature OF the State to plumber the people,
to suit their purposes more perfectly. Two of
the nominees are old and notorious offenders,
according to the public declarations of some Of
those who now support them, and che third is
lust of that intellectual calibre as would best
fit him. for the purpose of honest John, or any
other Artful Dodger, who might see fit to ma
nipulate him. The ticket for county officers is
almost as bad as it could be made. Whenever
they have change, it has been for the worse.
Nothing, therefore, could more plainly demon,
strate the utter futility of those promises Of
reform, with which Moses seeks to beguile
honest people than the course of his adherents
and supporters-er pede Herculean, or, to be
less classical, the devil is known by his cloven
foot. If now, the Boilers give us better ticket
(they cannot get up worse,) we will find it to
our interest and advantage to support that
ticket.

The delegates were informed by Col. 7. H.
Russell's son, that he would not accept the
nomination, if he received it. They therefore,
put forward Vandiver, Pickens and Burriss.
Pickens was nominated, and /, as one of the
delegates, feel that we did we'll to get one of
our highest men nominated, when there are
sixteen Townships and only three members al
lowed. We were, also, authorized to do the
best we could for the whole County.
But, Mr.. Editor, VIM. 8. Brown received
two votes from Hopewell Township, and says
that he was nominated from it, received a ma
iority of the votes cast, and that we the dele
gates erased his name and substituted the
names of other gentlemen, which was gross
fraud practiced upon him, and clear betrayal
of the rights of the people. How MIR. Brown
can conceive and assert that two votes are sui
ficient to nominate candidate from Town
ship in which no other candidate received less
and two others received so many as twelve, is a
mystery to me. Strange hallucination
The other charges are too preposterous to re-
quire passing notice, as the number of votes
cast shows how false and absurd is the accusa-
sation.
I am not acquainted with Mr.. Brown, but 1
hear that he is gentleman; and if he is, feel
that he will retract the false accusations brought
against the delegates from Hopewell Township
do not accuse him of oforiginating the falsehoods,
but presume that he was misinformed by some
one who wishes to split the Democratic party
But should he still claim majority from Hope
well, should think that going to an arith-
metic school would suit him better than seat
in the Legislature "By their works ye shall
know them."
Respectfully,
NJ. B. WILLIAMS,
Chm'n. HONEYWELL Delegation.

The Fruit Crop.

In every section of the country the
fruit yield il wonderfully and unpre-
cedentedly abundant. Peaches, pears,
apples, grapes, plums, in such quanti-
ties in every orchard and fruit patch,
that people may help themselves for
the asking, and in thousands of cases
moderately remote from markets il
would scarcely pay to haul. if il were
easier to solve the problem as to what
to do with their rich abundance by
leaving il to rot on the ground. The
ripe excess in our own teeming mar
kcts is well known. Fruit is on every
table. AT every meal almost, and TAX
ing the place of meats; fruit luscious
and healthful, is in the hands of the
poorest, and the grimiest gamins Of the
dirtiest cutters are smeared up to their
keen eyes with morsels of delicious
juciness, that in old Europe would con-
sumo the weekly wages of skilful
mechanic to enjoy. Ina New York last
week. thirty-tive thousand baskets of
Jersey peaches arrived at Hoboken in
one day, the yield there being estimat-
ed at five times as large as in the pre-
yious year of 1871, which estimate may
also stand fairly for the fruit crop of
the great west. Pears were never so
plentiful, while grapes at cent and a
half a pound have been drug in the
market. As for apples, nobody cares
for or even thinks of them, nor will
until the winter sets i'm. TO remind pco-
pie that peaches and pears, and grapes
are not eternal. This is a great coun-
try. and whether the future is under
Greeley or Grant. let us endeaver to be
thankful that Gods rich earth knows
no distinction of democrats and radi-
Gals. but is liberal to all

AGRICULTURAL NOTES.
Profits of Farming.

People who think farming is pool
business for young man to engage il
do not always figure correctly. Ii j.
true, as compared with the successful
merchant or Spectator, the profits
look small. Ambitious young men, in
hot haste to be rich, consider the slow
process of making money by the
growth of the soil far 100 dilatory. Al.
lowing the farmer TO take out of his
produce reasonable wages as a COM
pensation for his labor. and his per
cent. of profit on the valuation Of his
land, implements, etc, will not, proba-
bly,, in Ohio, exceed three per cent. per
annum. Z" That is very poor bust
ness says the merchant and banker,
8" expect to make nfteen or twenty
per cent. on my money!" Let us look
little into this fifteen or twenty per
cent.
Every man cannot be banker, or a
merchant, simply because, if nobody
tills the soil. the merchant will have no
one to buy his goods, or the bank to
borrow its money. Every one has not
the capital to set up a store, or bank,
and, therefore, he who commences fire.
quently does it by borrowing and pay
ing interest-six, eight, ten, or perhaps
fifteen per cent.
We do not propose that every young
man should try farm, either. Farm
ing requires special qualifications, the
first of which is good constitution !;
the next, good judgment. 1t also re-
quires capital; but the above qualifi-
cations constitute the principal part
of it.
Ii is found by statistical data that. of
SO many merchants who count upon
sudden wealth, ninety-seven out of
every hundred fail i'm the course of
their lives, and become bankrupt. This
process is by no means an agreeable
one to go through. Only seven out of
every hundred die rich. With most
men, the principal object in acquiring
money is to leave something. The far
mer may not be able to die rich; he
must be content to live comfortably,
and to die in comfortable circuinstan-
ces. Bat TO return to the profits.
Suppose it is only three per cent.
that is, he has tract, say, of one hun
dred acres of wild land, that cost S.
per acre, and the clearing of one-half
of it $40 per acre; his buildings, i'm
plements. stock. etc, $l,500-in all
$4,000 or $4,000. After paying himself
wages, and supporting his family, he
makes three per cent. or his invest
ment. or $50. This does not look very
imposing, but this little sum he can
loan at ten per cent, making it $99;
and adding the next wears profit, there
is Sl89; loaning this the third year, it
swells to S297: and by the time his
children grow up there is quite snug

Catching Sheep.

Never seize a sheep by the wool on
animal particularly in warm weather.
when they are large and fat. The best
wayto catch a sheepis by the hind le ,,or
by the neck. The animal is easily held
by placing one hand under the lower
jaw and the other back of its ears, and
slightly raising its head.
