Farming, as a Busin ness. 8

A man who is not smart enough to run
a store Is not smart enough to run farm.
Farmers are not oibe made oht of what
is left after lawyers, doctors, ministers
and merchants are sorted and picked out.
And ifa man fails On d farm he is not
likely to succeed in store, for it requires
more talent to be a thriving farmer than
TO be an average merchant. The one
great failure is the disproporton be-
tween mans farm and his capital. "A
farmers capital is skill, labor and his
honey. Ifhe has little cash, he must
haveno more land than he can thorough
ly manage by his personal labor. Every
acre beyond that is am ehcunibraiiice.
One acre we'll worked is more profitable
than twenty acres skinned over. It is
this greed Of land by farmers that have
not the capital to work it, that keeps SO
many poor. Small farms are better than
large ones, simply because they are bet
ter suited to the capital of common far

The Beginning Of the End.

Practical EMIGRATION AND IMM1-
GRATIoN.-The exodus of laborers from
our State to the West continues. A day
or two since, we noticed some twenty or
thirty leaving by the e. and a. train for
Mis- sissippi, and We are informed that
another company of about one hundred
and twenty more are expected to leave
tomorrow. They are from the counties
of Union, Laurens, and Newberry, and
go west" for the purpose of improving
their condition in that more fertile re-
gion, where they can make n bale of
cotton to the acre without any trouble"
AS al Offset to this. We learn that the
firm of Monteith, McMsster e. Co., have
contracted for thirty white laborers, for
eign immigrants, mostly Germans. to be
employed at the stave and shingle factory
of the firm in the Fork of Richland, and
the immigrants are now OH their way to
Charleston on the steamer Manhattan,
and will be here in q fow dayg. This is
practical solution Of the question OF labor
for the development of our resources
which it will be we'll for our people to
consider.--Carolinian.

A Mrs. Pringle and a child o: Mrs. King
were drowned. Their bodies have been re-
covered. All the other passengers were

very few minutes after the wreck. The
passengers were landed at Shawneetown
Mrs. King had two children. Doth of whom
she supposed to be drowned. But soon af
ter daylight On Saturday morning, while
examining the wreck, the little Oabe was
found floating on mattress IL the cabin
alive and asleep, with but few inches be-
tween it and the roof. The escape was a
miracle, and my informant tells me that
the scene was most affecting when the child
was returned alive to the bereaved mother
who had mourned the little fellow as lost
for nearly a day. The conduct ot the Off
GERS is said to have been admirable. The
safe and all the valuables were saved TO-
gether with some baggage. The passengers
were kindly cared for by. IKE citizens OF

The International Railroad.

MI. Edward L. Plumb. was in Washing
ton several days ago. He stated TO friends
tha, there is no doubt the Mexican Con-
gress will ratify the contract made between
the President Of Mexico and himself, grant
ing certain franchises to the International
Railway Company, which will open com.
munlcation between the United States and
the City of Mexico. and between the Pacific
coast "t Mexico and this country the entire
distance being 1000 miles. 1t is proposed
to commence operations during the spring
Of next year. Mr.. Plumb says that from
his knowledge of Mexico for period OF
nineteen years-he having been charge
d'atfaires in that repubIic-there is now a
much better political and social condition
OF affairs than heretofore; and with this i'm.
provement the people generally are direct
ing their attention to such measures as will
promote national as well as individual well
fare. They look on the people of the
United States as their friends, and desire
more intimate commercial relations with
them. The granting of the railroad fran
elise is mentioned as one Of the evidences
Ct this fact.
