More Truth than Poetry.


b The following paragraph. from the
sGeneve> Lamp contains some sehd
grains of@truth and tells the tale of
the country's lack Of prosperity in
unmistakable language. It speaks
volumes, although the estimate Of cot.
ton to the acre is under the average
for this section. There can be but one
opinion on the subject, that entirely
too much attention is paid to cotton,
-and~that~when~ the farmer neglects
other things and has to buy all of his
supplies, its culture entails loss rather
.than-~proft. The~~Lamp- sheds its
light thus: ,<s 80 G;.,s>-
To-day was repeated what to every
patriot must be painful sight. A
countryinan, ,miscalled a farmer, brought
his cotton to town, sold for it for Ia
cents, and expended part Of its pro-
ceeds in the purchase of a middling
of meat, for which he paid nearly
eight dollars. For our own edi6cation
let us make. a small calculation, and
see how much land planted in cotton
this year will raise hog. Firstly,
we will allow. that. if the season con-
tinues propitious, an average of one
bale of cotton to six acres of land may
be made. This bale will sell for fifty
dollars; and deduct the cost of bag
gipg and ties, say two dollars, we
have for our crop eight dollars an acre.
Secondly, if middling of meat:is
worth eight dollars, two middlings are
worth sixteen dollars, and whole
bog say, for the sake of round num-
bers and to keep US from feeling too
blue about it, is worth, 20, sells for
thirty-two dollars. Thus you see, if We
have luck, we can, by planting cotton,
raise one hog to four acres, and we'll
have no hog stealing in our midst.
By the way, here is a conundrum for
some of our: Legislators: Why is it
only a petty offence to steal bacon
raised the ante bellum way, while it
is a peniteutiary crime to purloin that
raised according to the mode now pre-
Vailing. In conclusion, let us promise
to- do better in future, and that we
may faithfully carry out this promise,
let US SOW this month large quantity
of rust proof oats, and in 'Januarya
few more. -.-- -. ..

The Two Races

Judge Gibson, in his charge to the
Grand Jury at the late October term
Of the Richmond, Ga, Superior
Court, expressed himself to the point
as follows: :,r@ De-; !:
In that prosperity and culture can
We not hope to improve, cultivate and
elevate our colored population Car
pet-bag. politicians, bankers, preachers
may may have beguiled them in the past,
yet their treachery and robberies were
short lived, and will soon end if wis
dom, moderation and justice can but
prevail. Mr.. Stephens, the true friend
of the colored man and of the oppressed
and weak everywhere, could not, In

Hickman, Gov. jenkins and Alfred

whites, and yet arrogant, lazy, idle,
ignorant and worthless pretenders can

try to get up up instructions, emigra-
tion and fabulous outrage stories tor
partisan and political purposes. Were
it not that our sister States ever since
the war had given up their lands and
paid voluntary millions to the colored
race to remain with them, and vote
for carpet-baggers and thieves to rule,
rob and control things for them, I
would not, perhaps, be amazed at our

Death of Geo. e. Elford.

The Greenyille Neaos chronicles the
painful and sad intelligence of = the
death in. that city Of Mr.. Geo. E.
Elford, one of our. oldest and truest
friends, and gives a tribute to his
memory which will find a response in
the hearts Of all who knew him. Long
years ago we we're associated with
him Intimately, and learned to esteem
him for his many virtues and noble
traits of character, and now we drop a
tear to his memory. The upright,
christian gentlemen was eyer shown in
all his walks, and We mourn that one
so fall of virtue and good qualities is
no. more. We copy from the Neeos:
Mr.. Elford was born in Charleston,
where he learned his trade as a printer
in the Office Of the Charleston Courier,
He occupied the position Of foreman
for some time in Columbia, and moved
to Greenville, when he became the
editor and proprietor of the Moun-
tdineer. At the time of his death he
was engaged iu business in book
store under the name and style Of
Elford & Dargan. He was in the fifty
first year Of his age, and in the very
zenith of his usefulness. The Baptist
Church, of which he had been a con-
sistent member and deacon for many
years, has met with terrible blow. He
was the Superintendent of the Sabbath
School in that Church, and we'll may
the people say: "What will the Church
and Sunday School do. and who can
they get to supply his place ?''
The deceased was respected and be-
loved by all, for his gentle and quiet
manners, polite and courteous, modest
and retiring disposition made every
one his friend. Greenville has lost
one of her best citizens, and society
the example of an upright and honest
man. When asked by his business
partner if all was peaceful, his answer
was, "All is peaceful; all is clear"
We knew him long, and loved him
we'll and as We witnessed the last
efforts Of nature to sustain life, we felt
that a Christian was ''goisg home"

brings the matter down to a point, in
which the. former, in gratitude for
some kindness done to him by Baker,
tells him that the boy is in the West
of England in the hands Of a party
of Gipseys. With this information
and pecuniary assistance from Mr..
Ross and his friends, Baker has start
ed in quest of little Charlie. The
story of Booth is exceedingly myth
cal, but the hope is strongly enter
tained that it is true, and that the
long lost boy will at length be restored
to his father, who has almost des-
paired of ever seeing him again. The
Columbia Register, in giving an ac-
count of this recent development,
furnishes an extract from the Phenir,
dated August 7, 1874, which states
that party of Gipseys passed through
Columbia at that time, and had In
possession a little curly-headed white
boy, and tits now supposed that he
was Charlie Ross. It is indeed an
interesting case, and one which will
