DIIGEST IN BUsIEEss.-To one
asking, says On cd writer, what was
the best compost with which 10 ma.
nure land. it was answered, "the dust
of the masters feet !" meaning his
presence to behold his own business.
The inspired proverb states the ssme
truth yet more powerfully : "Seest
thou o man diligent in his business ?
be shall stand before kings, he shall
not stand before mean men - words
which were literally accomplished in
the case of three Of the historical
characters Of scripture-Joseph, Ne
bemiah. and Daniel-and on which
the famous Benjamin Franklin, who
rose from being q worker at q print
ing res to be o great statesman snt

Why FARMERS ARE PooR.-It is
believed that se~ven-tenths Of the plan.
tiers and farmers Of this country,
North and South alike, are stagger-
ing to their fall under q load of debt
and mortgage. What is the matter ?
As a class, farmers are not lazy. They
are seldom idle. They work as hard
as anybody ought to work. They
make, taking one year with another,
what may 30 considered, under the
prevailing standard Of agriculture,
fair crops, and they get, as a rule. good
prices for the surplus products they
put into the market; still they don't
get rich-in fact, are getting poorer
and poorer every year. Why is it
20? To say nothing row Of q faulty
system Of cropping-all cotton, all
wheat, or oil something else; or of
credit, liens and interest, the reason
which we had in mind with which to
point this paragraph is, that ut costs
too much to make our crops, We
grow poor not 80 much because our
incomes = 30 small as because our
ouigoers are 90 large. The expense
OF making q crop has not been reduce
ed to q minimum. We fence in too
large q field and travel over too many
acres to produce ten bales Of cotton
or . hundred bushels of corn. We
pay out too much for labor and for
fertilizers for the results produced.
The remedy must lie sought in SCUM.
der methods, lsbor saving implements,
and better trained labor, and less Of
it.-Rursl Carolinian.

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.
CANTON, Nov. 10, 1873,

CANTON, Nov. 10, 1875.
At a called meeting of Evergreen Lodge,
No. 80, L. o. o. F., held at the Lodge
room, the following preamble and resolu-
tons were unanimously adopted
When the good and useful in any of the
various avOcatiOns of lite are stricken
down by the hand of death all good men
who We're acquainted with them while
living, feel the effects of the blow as if it
were Il personal or individual calamity.
And 1t is just and proper that it should
be so. The true, honest, earnest men of
the world, those who contribute to its
material and lasting interest. are SO few.
ences are widely known and left, and who,
in every act and purpose, have at heart
the good of society at large, should, when
departing, hand down to their successors
the benefits of their example. Which
should be taken advantage of, initiated,
and never forgotten.
Praise, eulOgium, and the sincere tri-
butte of surviving friends, 8 the stored
urn and monumental bust" cannot affect
the dead. They are silent and lstiess in
the grave, and naught but the fiat OF Di-
vinity can disturb them.
But still their virtues should be prom
inently kept before the public eye, and
we, n members of an order tOiling for the
good of humanity, should point their
survivors to their stainless example and
urge its imitation. While for oIr brother,
ID. III. Otto, who has been cut down in his
career of usefulness, scarcely beyond the
meridian of life, we Ito not claim the title
of greatness. in its worldly acceptation,
we feel that we can truthfully say that he
was :; bright and >lIuiiiu@ light III our

RAocooN Hollow FREE SCHOOL,
Dec. 81, 1875.
M. Editor In the last number
Of the American Citizen | see that
Mr.. Beauchamp, the county School
Superintendent, is anxious to know
something about the schools, and to
learn how they are getting along
and what progress the pupils are
making. The pupils of Raccoon
Hollow School have progressed so
far as to be able to answer all the
questions propounded to the Super
intendcnt by the Examining Com
mittee. They are prepared TO tell''
to "what powers certain capes be-
long" can spell Amazon, can com
pute interest-in fact, have made
such progress as warrants the state
ment that any one of them is bet
ter prepared to-day for the impor-
tant position of Superintendent than
the gentleman who now occupies
that position. But they have had
a stun,per for the past few days that
they have not been able to get away
with. Not one of them has been
able to parse the first paragraph in
the Superintendent no tice contain
ed IN tho American Citizen. The
grammar now in use in the public
schools contains no rule to guide
them out of the labyrinth of trou-
BILE into which they have fallen in
tackling this English sentence.
None of them had the audacity to
question its good English-it must
be good, coming as it does from the
head and front of our educational
system. The pupils are disposed TO
find fault with their books and are
crying for change. They want |
some grammar that will give them
light on the subject.
Now that 1 am done with the pu-
pills, have something to say on my
own behalf not unconnected with
the superintendent notice. The no
tice says that all schools not having
fifteen pupils, the. teachers will be
paid proportionately- Now, [ have
thirty pupils in regular attendance,
my salary is fifty dollars per month:
am 1 to understand that I am to re
reive one hundred dollars for my

for the U. S. Senate. While fully
recognizing the fact that all those
recommended have good claims to
some honorable position, yet it can
not be overlooked by our party
that the great political victory
achieved in this state is owing to
the able management and patriotic
zeal Of Gen. George. His high abil-
tiles are unquestioned, and there
fore 1t is useless for me to comment
on them.
His eminent services to our state,
IN which he has sparedi n either
time, money or labor, is well known;
therefore as an act of recognition of
his abilities and zeal, we would urge
our party to award to him the U. S..
Senatorship, which l am well assur-
ed he will fill with honor to him.
self and with credit to our state.
Respectfully yours,
