abundant supply Of fire wood for the snowy
days.

Governor Chamberlain has pardoned
Emma Miles, who was convicted of larceny

months imprisonment in the county jail.

pardon was earnestly recommended by
Messrs. James L. Orand John E.Breazeale,
for the sake of suffering humanity.
Ii is no uncommon thing to hear boys
complaining that they cannot get positions
or employment. They do not try right.
It is related that Stonewall Jackson walked
from distant part of Virginia to Washing
ton to make personal application for an ap-
pointment lowest Point. President Tyler
gave it to him Immediately. If boy or
young man wants position Unemployment
let him initiate Jackson, and act so as to shew
himself worthy of what he aspires to, and
then he IS sure to succeed
It is estimated that the present cotton
crop of South Carolina will be $4,000 bales
against 400, 900 bales lest year, while the en-
tire crop this year win be S,SOO,OOo bales
against 8, 100000 bales last year. Hence the
price will likely remain low, and our peo-
pie, who have made light crop will lose
most heavily The remedy for this is to
plant more corn and small grain; to reduce
the acreage of cotton planted and toincrease
the production per acre by high use of
fertilizers and a thorough system of cultiva-
ton.
