AS there Is diversity of opinion upon
the question of voting city bonds to erect
Presbyterian college here, and as il
has been deemed desirable to have the
public think of the matter from all
standpoints, we have rather freely thrown
upon our columns to the discussion oil
the question, pro and con; but we wish
to disclaim all responsibility for any OF
the views which have been expressed by
our contributors. They speak for them.

well arranged for business.

Quite a large audience enjoyed the en-
tertainment given by the NJ. Z. Church so
ciety at their church Wednesday evening.
There was singing by our favorite vocal
lists, reading by talented amateurs, and
speaking and singing by several little
folks, as we'll as some good instrumental
music; and altogether the entertainment
was quite interesting. When the last
piece on the programme was finished it
was announced that a collection would
be taken up, and every one seemed glad to
note the departure from church social
custom which makes one eat indigesti-
BILE food at late hour of night, and at a
price which is altogether out of adjust
ment with the rule of equitable recon-
pense. The collection gave the affair a
devotional tinge, and was generally voted
much better than the refreshment
scheme. Another hour spent in socia-
bility closed the pleasant evening.

How TO Farm Successfully

Nearly fourteen years of bit
ter experience since the close of
the war should have taught the
| southern farmer the futility of
the attempt to raise good crops
. from a large number of poorly
TILED acres, or to make money
| from cotton alone; yet, notwith-
standing previous failures, he
still blindly pursues the course
he has heretofore followed. He
| runs his pillow over more land
than he can properly cultivate;
he sticks TO cotton and, conse-
quenhy ruin sticks to him. He
talks cotton and he dreams cot
ton. Meanwhile his debts ac-
eumulate: every year he sinks
desper into bankruptcy. And
still he is surprised that his hard
unremitting labor brings forth
no fruit The fault is all his
own. There is such a thing as
ruinous farming. and the soon
er the farmer learns this fact
the sooner will he recover from
the baneful effects Of his own
ignorance. He must know that
to farm successfully a man must
not undertake more than he can
PERFORM; that small farms. as a
gener,,l thing. are more pro6ta-
Bile THAI, large ones. and that
twenty ac,.es of weli-broken and
well-cultivat,, d land viii yield a
better crop thai, a hundred poor
ly worked and half neglected
ones. He must next iearn-if
has not already done so-tnat
cotton is neither bread nor
meat, and that he must either
payNan exorbitant price for pro-
Visions for himself and feed fLr
his stock or make cotton a Sc
condary consideration, and raise
from his owns land his own pro-
duce. WhysSould he purchase
his meal and bacon when he
can plant corn andTaise hogs at
such triaing expcnseP Why
should he pay butchers rates
Tor mutton when he can have
sheep at less cost Why does
ne not make his own butter
and cheese instead OF buying
hem? Whenever he haS learn
ID the importance al being his
,wn producer, then he will have
the first lesson in sue ]
,essful farming. Let him, aiterf
his, not plant more than he can
cultivate; let him raise corn, pc
atoes. barley, cats, etc. and not
neglect the grasses for his stock; Z
ct him by all means have an or !
hard Of weli-seIected fruit trees c
md also a few choice grape
,ines. He has not forget TO lay
,ut small vegetable garden
rom which to supply his table.
Ile may raise small fruit, berries
:tc., and there is no reason why
hey should not find a ready
market. When all this is done
ct cotton be planted ii
If this method of farming be a
in a few years the /,
wealth of the state will be in
reased ten fold, the public debt
will grow smaller, money will re-
main in the country, and ruin I
nd misery will he averted.-

Dates CT Newspapers.

In his address before the New
York Press Association, last
week, Whiteslaw Reid, while
recognizing that on many polIti-
cal questions the papers would
always differ, and that the fact
was a benefit rather than an evil,
stated that at the present time
there are certain points on
which the press should unite as
IN common cause, to wit:
1. Aconstant, systematic su-
pervision of local government,
in all things affecting taxes and
the increase of local debt. To
manage the national debt is
child's play compared with the
task of placing on any solvent
basis, and within manageable
compass, the municipal obliga-
tons ofthe country. tits a pol
icy on which all newspapers
might fairly unite. 1t is at least
one to which the best efforts of
every editor who wishes well to
the city which sustains him
should, without cant, honestly
and clear-sightedly, be direct
ed.
2. Equally hearty should be
the union of effort toward an ex-
animation of all charities. The
growth of this interest is some
thing enormous. The abuses
connected with it are equally
startling, and the mischievous
effects are only second to the
evils wrought upon the whole
community by municipal cxrav-
agance.
3. The press ought to join
heartily, in right brotherly ac-
cord; in waging war on abuses
affecting the public morals.
