Obituary..

Died in Orangeburg County, s. c..
January 10, 1870, Vara g., second daugh-
ter Of ~. G. and 4. T.. Stoudenmire, In
her ninth year.
Only three days before her death Vara
met and mingled In childish glee with
her young friends and companions at
school, and shared IN the happy days
and joys, which are peculiar to the
young, but suddenly she ceased to come
among us, ''turped and sought her
couch to lie down and die"
Taught by piOus parents from her in
fancy to do good and eschew evil" size
exhibited, IN marked degree, many no.
ble traits, which go to make up true
character; prominent among which were
Integrity of purpose, gentleness of dis
position, anl kindness toward those with
whom she associated. Truly the ways
Of Providence are mysterious, in calling
one to die, who promised 80 much. Yet
we bow in submission. and remember
that ut Is sweet IN childhood to give
back the spirit to It's maker, ere the heart
has grown familiar with the paths of
sin, and sown to garner up its bitter
fruit" To the afflicted parents there
comes the consolin9 recollection that
"She is not dead. but sleepeth."
"Aslecp in Jesus peaceful rest!
Whose waking is sup-emely blest;
No fear-no woe shall dim that hour
That manifest the Savior's power"

State Officers.

Before the war Presidential Elec-
tors were electedIfsS the General As
sembly of this State, SO likewise we're
the Governor, Lieutenant Governor,
Judges and chiefs Of State Depart
ments, and never did State enjoy q
better government, or was blessed
with officers of higher order of tai
ent and purity Of character than
South Carolina. Since the war the
election Of these officers has been sub
mitted to the people, and with the
change has been introduced n thous-
and and O. evils TO corrupt society
and SO viii. Ae political life OF our
people. NJ be least among them
is the elccti, Sring trickery which
divides our ciLizens anu keeps them
divided, and which brings them in
contact with the most corrupting in
flucnces known in the catalogue of
political crime: deception, persecu-
tion, slander, bribery and even vul-
gality. Familiarity with which can
not but corrupt the purest character.
We 90 not desire to be charged with
the imputation of fogyism but con
fcss we would rejoice to see the goud
and timc-honored modes OF ante-bel-
lum days Reconstructed here. Ala
hama has in part adopted them and
shows her wisdom in doing it, not so
much in freeing herself from Federal
influence on election occasions, bu:
in seeking to protect her citizezs from
the corrupting influences incident
to exciting general elections. In
this State the Constitution provides
otherwise, but every consideration of
policy as we'll as principle points out
the necessity. Of amendments to that
instrument, and the quicker these be
made, the better for the honor Of the
State, the purity of her citizens and
the prosperity of both.

Hampton to-day revisited the State
House for the first time since his ac-
cident. He sat for some time in his
office, together with Governor Simp-
son, and was then called upon by the
heads Of departments and many other
gentlemen, who fastened to pay their
respects upon hearing Of his presence
in town. He has not yet fully recov-
cred his strength, but is looking we'll,
and is surely, if slowly, improving"

Reply to Farmer.
Editors Orangeburq Democrat:

EuHOTS OTuHycOuf9 DeHtOCTut.
The writer, q farmer, whose arti-
Gle appeared in the DEMOCRAT of
January Sd, is mistaken as to the
conclusions arrived at by the Agri-
cultural Society at their meeting on
December 23d, 1873. I claim ito be
a member Of that body, and will say
that we did not counsel, as your cor
respondent said, to raise stock and
provisions to pay debts and to plant
side crop of cotton, but we did
advise the farmer Cif mistaken 1 wish
to by corrected by some brother mem
ber) to raise plentifully everything
needed for tue real comfort and sub
sistance Of their families and benefit
of their places, and then to make all
the cotton possible to pay debts.
Now, Mr.. Farmer, you have the
conclusion Of the Society, as un.
derstood 1t, in nutshell.
I find it not so difficult to know
what to do to run a place success
fully, as to know how to do it with
the proper will energy and tact to
carry it out. This last is the most
important as we'll as most difficult
part. Now, Mr.. Editor, 1 will give
you my views-why The advice of
the Srciety is good and the manner
in which it may be carried out, more
or less successfully on q large, as
well as small scale.
1t is good because every article
produced whether for profit or con-
sumption is low down and on firm
er foundation. Money and specula-
ton are lower, and all we have to do
in debt or out Of debt, is to narrow
down our habits and frugal wants TO
the times, and always make before
we spend or speculate. 1t can be
carried ont because I know instances,
both on small and a large scale,
where it has been done with success
even with all the past extravaganza
hanging around them; yet, at the
same time, l admit there are more
failures than successes but the fault
lies in the management.
Your correspondent does not seem
to trust the Society in carrying out
its counscls. We do not pretend to
hold mp to the country that we al
ways work to the best advantage
/ can cite the writer, however, to
many men both out and in this So
ciety, known to him, who have sue
ceeded, but because one succeeds and
two fails he condemns all as failures.
The point, Mr.. Editor, is not so much
to make, but to use what is made to
Allow me to go back to '66 when
we were left bankrupt by the war
with every thing in confusion. From
that period to TT we struggled I'M
der the most Infamous and dcstruc-
tive government on earth, yet we
sec thousands OF money and other
values have passed through our peo-
ole's hands and to-day, in 1879, the
whole cry is poverty, want and ina
oility to pay debts. What is the
,ausc Of this stlte Of things except,

more than meet his payments.
Now, Mr.. Editor, another great
advantage SUCH man would have,
is the sympathy of the whols commu-
nifty, because every effort of his
shows willingness anG promptness
to pay up. But how, some will say,
if he has 10 horse or real estate of
his own. Why, then he must rent
and manage the same way. He must
exercise greater patience and perse-
verance, economize more closely and
time will work him right times ont
of 6.
"a Farmer" does not seem to have
much faith in our Society carrying
out its advice. He imagines every
one is in the same fix, and that may
be, but he knows that does not justify
him in his inconsistency. He writes
as member but l don't taink, if a
paying member, he attends often
enough to reap the benefits, ard
therefore has gotten himself into
trouble with cotton down. Ill know
"a Farmer" and I think I do, he
should not to-day complain of one
dollars debt. He got in and stayed
in by not managing as I have direc-
ted after it was made. He finds now
there is no other chance but to make
save and pay ont, and will plant
both-side crop-right and left-to
make sure work. I trust he will
succeed and be able soon to enjoy
the pleasures Of cash trade.
Our people have become accus-
toned TO liens and advances, and
have lost sight Of the pleasure of
cash trade. A MEMBER OF THE
AGRICULTURAL. SOCIETY.

simply IA waste OF Our time, g waste
of flabor and intlulgences in social
Extravaganza that blinded our senses
and prevented us from laying up for
a rainy day. Wo cannot bring back
the pact, I will bluntiy say, therefore
IL was our own fauit-Aour want Of O
proper management Debts were
contracted when cotton was high and
the money wasted. Some, yes many
up to this time have not paid up and
now cry out because cotton is down
10 z or 8 cents per pound: 1--WE
cannot pay debts" What strange
inconsistency, can take bale of
cotton at 8 cents per ponnd and buy
more than when It sold at 16 cents.
If one has the will, the energy and
manages properly, I say moderate
debt can be paid. I will suppose, or
suggest, rs an instance, family Of
o working man with wife and three or
four children paying tax on real
estatefand personal property, and
plantation necessarics worth 81 900
or 81 800, who has debt of $500
hanging over him. He wants to pay
the interest, S100 on the principal, his
taxes and support the family in q
healthy, not extravag ant, condition.
Extravaganza heretofore has swal.
loved up the earning that should
have gone to the payment of debts.
10 do this, he should Immediately do
away with oil luxuries, cut loose
from all time killing and extravagant
company outside Of sociel neighhorly
business, simply because the interest
of his family is dearer TO him than
anything else. He should hiresthree
hands beside himself at $50 each and
utilize his and their time to advan-
tage. because time lost is money
thrown away. Like the slow drip
ping Of water, it wears that away
which can never be replaced. The
proper employment Of time is the
more necessary because careless and
speculative management brings on
accidents that generally cause ex-
pense and often destroy the profits,
With this precaution, judicious man
agenent, hard work and ordinary
lands and seasons, he should make
twenty bales of cotton, four hundred
pounds each, $50 bushels Of corn, 60
of oats, peas, rice, chuffas, potatoes,
fodder and turnips in propo rtion.
This, say would be an average
crop.
Now, Mr.. Editor. let US see if he
can clear expenses and meet his pay.
