That ably conducted and %fair-n1inded
paper, the Sumter IVctchman, has been
pleased to say some pleasant things of
us, for which we bare our head and
make our best bow to the courteous edi-
tor Of an esteemed and welcome visitor
to our sanctum. Long may he ride on
the topmost wave of prosperity, and
popular favor. He says:
"Thc AbbeviIle Press andBur,ner SAYS
"our paper was never so popular with
the people as ut PRESENT. ...r.|-
"Ihis paper has been one Of the most
thorough and consistent in its conser-
vatism of any Of our State journals
When rancorous criticism, Which many
sought to inhame into opproh:ium, was
rife with the extremists, the Press
n'ad Banner was among tho calm, stca-
dy and deliberate, no doubt inspired by
the wcll-groundcd faith that the waves
of passion must soon sllbSidc, and the
fires OF sectional hate die down, and
that the hope snd prospect of the coun-
try were there involvcdand we congrat-
ulatc our contemporary that we now
seem to approach so desirable a

The Coming. Cotton Crop.

The Chronicle and ,Senai,ael publishe
from the Financial Chrbnicle of New
/ York, an article on the condition ant
prospects OF the cotton crop which pre-
scnts roscatc view of the situation
based upon the increase in acreage ant
in the fertilizers used, and upon Tho
present tlourishing condition of the
crop; and holds out. the idea that crol
of four millions Of bales at least may be
reasonably expected. But as our Augusta
contemporary remarks, the estimates o.
the New York paper have so often proved
themselves incorrect, that they must b<
taken with very great caution. Tho
seasons have been so late, the stands
have been 50 backward and the pcril>
and uncertainties to which the crop lis
daily subjected have been such, that he
is a bold man who at the 1st Of June cal
confidently predictacfopo of four millions
Of bales and upwards.
There is one favorable circumstance
to which the Chronicle alludes, the in
creased economy in the cultivation oi
the crop, from the increased manutuc-
ture OF homemade fertilizers, and the
increase of grain products; thus lessen
ing the expense of the culture and re-
lieving as from q hc:tvy load of debt
We trust that the day is not far distant
when we shall be self-sustaning in this
respect, and shall not be forced to pay
out ali our hard-carnGd cotton money fOl
corn and fertilizers.
Tnc following is the CHronidlC's esti.
mate Of the crop Of the State
SOUTH CAROLINA.
The acreage in this State is about tho
same as last year. In some of the coun.
ties Iuar Augusta here is considerable
increase, say over ) per cent. but in tho
average for the entire State we make nc
change from last years's figures. Con
dition-The condition is generally good
although on an average about sever
days later than last year; stands, how
ever, arc better than last year. Wealth
cr-Thc weather has been too cold coo
nights extending over considerable
section even up to the first Of June.
The following general estimate:
are made:
If the season is very unfavorable, lillt
that Of lS71-'I2, so that the yield is OulS
170 pounds per acre, the total crop thi:
year would be (net weight 40 pounds
about 2,573, 900 bales or, if equal to tht
unusually good season; Of 1S70-'7l, th'
yield would reach 4,5SO,00O bales o
again, if the weather and surrounding
are similar as last year, the yield woult
then be $685., 900 bales; or, ifsimilar t.
the previous (1S72-'73) year Q9G pound
to the acre), it wOnld be about 4, llS,On'
bales
