DEAR SENTINEL: In your paper ofI
I'D NoF9mbbr, 1876, / notfse aeon
ppnjcation ovef.the signaturo of "In-
duiror,.' in Which there are somejveFy
important questions. As-Idifer with
him ousome points, I viii throw cut
a few hints, as to ny notion of things.
He, Says 'ibpy your provisions, first,
you can get them for cash cheaper
than you can raise them" I think
this. a great mistake. "a maintain that
1 can cultivate two acres of corn as
cheap as can one acre or cotton. An

much 70 gother tho ocorn as tho cotton,
and then you have It at homo. You
don't haVoAt 60 abroad to hunt it up;
and thereby loose your precious time.
Thoro is moro truth than fiction in

The great burden of expense lies right
there. 0cIhe stomach cost moro than

plentilaIly for home consumption, and
all the cotton, you can besides. , 1t is
an indisputable fact that those farmers
who have always raised sufficient
grain for home consumption, arc moro
prosperous than those who go in for
all cotton, buy largo quantities of
fertilizers, and make largo crops. Yot,
when all the cost of it's production is
footed up, tho big crop Of cotton is all
gone. could onumcrato many moro
Of tho disadvantages of having to buy
tho prime articles of subsistence; but
feel confident from what [ have al>
roady saidjoon the subject, that tho
wisdom of my suggestions will bic adj

corn, oats, and meat will bo produced,
than has been the case horetoforo.-
Then thoro will not be so much COM

Stand Firm.

Public meetings have boon held in
q large majority of tho Counties in
tho State, at which resolutions pledg-
ing support to Hampton, and donoun>
cling Cham borlian's usurpation, were
unanimously adopted. The people
OF South Carolina arc, for once, uni
tod, and by thoir unity become in
vlncible. Tho success of the Hampt-
on Government is only matter of
time. The tax bill passed by tho
Rump Legislature can never DO COLI
looted Tho Constitution provides
that all bills to raise supplies, or ap>
propriato monies shall originate in the
lower House of the General Assembly.
The Supreme Court has already do
cfded the Mackoy House, in which
the bill originated, illegal, and the
Wallace House the constitutional
House. This decision virtually kills
tho bill before an effort is made to en>
force it. Should an attempt bo made
TO collect the tax under it's rovisions,
the Taxpayers only have to apply to
the Circuit Judge for an injunction,
end stop any SO called Treasurer of
Mr.. Chamberlain's from collecting it.
The law is all with us and we need
not apprehond any danger Of loss of
property refusing to pay the tag.
Our people only have to stand firm
and reppdiate every effort of Cham
berlain and his co-conspirators from
first to last, and all will be we'll with
Us in tho end. 4usr.a .... u'..a

COLUMBIA, January lO, 1877.
Many communications having been
addressed to me in regard to the labor
question in the State, take this mode
of replying to them.
l feel so sanguino of satisfactory
solution oftho present unsettled con.
dltion of affairs, that [ have no hesi>
tatlon in recommending as full and
general employment Of laborers as is
consistent with the means of our peo~
pie. Great suffering will be inflicted
on tho colored people if they arc left
without employment, and tho material
interests Of the State will be seriously
effected in this event: Humanity and
sound policy concur in this case to
urge us TO find work for all those who
honestly seek it. Many of those who
opposed us in tho lNto canvass now
acknowledge tho lawful government
OF tho State and arc wlling.to support
it. Our efforts should now bo' dircc-
ted to the establishment of law and
order md to the promotion Of good
will and harmony among all classes of
our citizens. WADE HAMPTON. .,s
