Some times Up-country rice may be sold
to advantage for seed. II you have an

It may be well TO offer it in this way.
When sold II brings 81 per bushel.
After milling there Is always resi-

for mich cows and when mixed with
corn or oats. horses for and mules. Last
winter 1t sold in Charleston for twenty

SEQ no reason why rice culture should
not become an important industry in the
up-country. It is leas expensive to cul-
1vato than cotton, grows we'll in our
rich moist soils, and the yield is general
~ excellent and sometimes marvellous.
Tho wholesale price ia nearly treble that
OF nntc-bellum days, and there is little
danger OF over production. The culture
has boon confined 10 q small territory
about Wilmington, North Carolina, four
counties in South Carolina, and as many
more In Georgia and narrow district in
Louisiana. Wheat and rico are tho only
grains used exclusively as the food OF
man but taking the whole population OF
the United States, the production of
wheat exceeds 800 quarts por capita,
whilo Of rice it barely reaches one. Could
our Yankee and Westorn friends eat it
like Carolinian they might consume
tho entire crop in less than week, and
the price would rise in proportion as
they alto. Perhaps, should 1t fall too low,
we may send missionaries to teach our
neighbors better taste and more whole
some diet.--Ne,r, aud Courier.

A SINGULAR MOVE.
a Georgia Mountain which In Slowly Sink
ing Into the Earth.
ATLANTA G. Ang Is IS7o.

ATLANTA. GA, Aug. I8, 1879
News he's just been received or the
further sinking of the large mountain ~
North Georgia, which dropped into a
suddenly made chasm some time since.
This mountain, known as Ingolo, Is an
enormous one. 1t Is moro than two
miles about its base, and it is about AZ
high az Stone Mountain Some months
ago laundering noise was heard. as If a
lively earthquake had suddenly com
menced operations. A gentleman who
was going by the Ingolo Mountain look
ed toward 1t, and was amazed to sec fully
one-third OF the enormous mass break
loose from the rest and suddenly vanish
into the earth beneath, carrying with it
imm eIlse trees, stones, etc. After few
days the scene was visited, and 1t was
found that the ground on which about
one-third of tho mountain was resting
had opened or broken through and the
mass thus being lot without support
tumbled into tho chasm provided for il.
IL apparetltly about filled this cIiasm to a
level with tho Geound, but has since been
sinking. No one can imagine the cause.
and fears are entertained that tho rest OF
tho mountain must follow. Tho side
from which tho falling mass WAS torn is
ragged and irregular, no stratfication
having been followed in the tearing loose.
The mass has just let down about two
feet further, and tho whole cse will bo
investigated by competent scientists.
who are determined TO probo tho secret
OF the lost mountain.
GAISH5vILLE, GA, Aug. "a. Tho mys-
terry over the sinking mountain is still
unsolved, unless tho explanation given
by MIR. NJ: Stephenson, IN old and ac-
c0mplisied scientist, Is the true one.
He has lived In this gold bearing section
ever since the first white me-, came horo.
He says that ho distinctly remembers
that about forty years ago SHAFT OF a
mine was run undcr tho edge of tho
mountain, ard afterward abandoned.
Later river. which runs near by, ILL
tered through into he shaft and washed
away ell trace of it. 1t is very deep,
swift mountain stream, and he supposes
that 1t has gradually washed out the
shaft and enlarged the hole until there
was vast chasm of half mile long and
iully rs broad, and half as deep. He
thinks this continued washing until tho
support of about one-third Of tho noun
tain was eaten away, and it then tumblei
into the chasm. 1t seems almost incred-
ible that this could be true, and yat it is
the only explanation offered. This, Mr..
Stephenson holds, would account for the
continued sinking of the broken mass, as
he holds that the river Is still eating it
away.
Thousands of persons have visited the
scene, and many superstitious fears have
been raised on account of tho fall Of the
mountain. The whole gold bearing sec
hon Is full Of violent streams, falls and
cascades, and there is some fow subter-
ranean streams o. considerable size.-

The Next Governor.

Whilo many OF our contemporaries are
suggesting names for our next Governor,
1t would lily become us to overlook the
claims of Con. Samuel McGowan, of Abb
beyille; Since the war with Mexico, in
which he enacted the part of soldier and
patriot, Gen. MCGOWAN has enjoyed a
prominent hold on the public mind, end
has exercised q wide influence over up-
per Carolina. His broad and liberal
views in craftsmanship, his purity of
charactor. his ready and eloquent powers
as q public speaker, taken with his re-
cord as soldier and patriot, combine
with eis winning n,anners to render hin,
both popular and suitable candidate for
our next Governor. In the late war he
served his country with zeal and fidelity,
rising TO tho rank OF Is brigadier general,
and was beloved by his men for
his gree. care ef .heH. at eli times. AZ
ter the close of the war, with broken
fortunes, he returned to his profession.
end no man in the State has sacri-
feed moro in the effort to redeem the
State and restore to 1t tho blessings OF
good government than Con. McGcwan.
Once no was elected 20 Congrs ss, but was
deprived of his seat by partisan major
ity. Again whom an effort was laade to
got representation in Congress-, no was
put forward as the standard bearer of tho
party, by reason OF his great personal
popularity and his eioauence on the
his personal feelings and his professional
duties for the good of the State, and was
defeated more by the despondency of our
people than from any other cause. He
was regarded the leader of q forlorn
hope, but as he sought not ths issue, he
then and mover has fiiiled to meet tho call
of his Stnte- Tho rnnd aaad snyv-, hw
him this campaign has greatly aided to
restore good government in South Caro-
lima. In tho memorable campaign OF
1876, whose voico was heard oftenor on the
stump and who dealt moro falling blows TO
corruption than Gen. McGoWen? At
the close of the campaign 1t was found he
had poiled tho highest vote of any of tho
DeDlocratio electors for President, thus
showing his great strength among tho
people. Wherever the battle has been
thickest md the fight heaviest for the ro-
demption of the State there tho old hero
OF tito Third District has been found.
Sii6 ;5 has soT isoS-a v :IItiuii and con-
tributed so much In behalf OF the re-

tho position, who will say nay to the
nomination of Gen. NfcGowaIi for our

cultural and manufacturing resources.
This would benefit all classes, whilst

Mr.. Earle's idea of nm untrammclled

any such attempt means the restoration

accomplish nothing by itself, now stands

Any movement looking to breaking up

restoration of Radicalism. If it be true
that any labor or capital arc kept away
