ORIGIN OF THE Red SHIRTS.


The Columbia Register calls attention to
the fsct that our friend, Capt. A. ]. Sitton,
originated the idea of the famous "red shirt
clubs" which became 50 general in the last
campaign. His mounted rife club was the
first to adopt this appropriate costume,
which was keen satire upon the "bloody
shirt" so long psraded and haunted over the
country, metaphorically speaking, for the
delectation of the Republican party. BY
adopting this emblematic costume, upon
entering campaign which was destined to
take the stain out of the ensanguined wear
ing apparel of Morton, Chandler & Co., the
invincible heroes of peace and reconciliation
between the races were enabled to move on
solidly to victory. Capt. sitton deserves the
credit most assuredly for the happy idea,
and it was our intention to make suitable
mention of the fact when all traces of the
"bloodyshirt' were removed from the State.
Our Columbia contemporary has anticipated
the announcement, and we can only add
that as Capt. Sitton is entitled to the credit
of making the first red shirt, we think he
deserves likewise the honor Of securing the
fairest of Cardinals maidens to keep up his
wardrobe ct cetera.

PLANT coRM.

Our people should remember that for the
past twelve years we have planted cotton
very extensively, and have been growing
gradually poorer every year. We have been
raising cotton to buy corn with, and at the
end of the season the account stands against
the cotton planter. We should learn from
the past that We ought to raise our own
grain, and after that the more cotton we can
raise the better it will be for Us. We ought
not to buy corn from abroad, and as long as
we do 50 long will we be getting poorer.
Our farmers should remember their expert
ence in the post, and profit fromis. Plant
corn as crop and cotton only in such guam
titles as can be cultivated, after thoroughly
working enough corn to be sure Of an ample
supply for our home market.
