State Officers.

Before the war Presidential Elec-
Tors were elected-sssSsi 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 a thous-
and and one evils TO corrupt society
and so vitiate the political life of our
people. Not the least among them
is the elcctioneering trickery which
divides our citizens and keeps them
divided, and which brings them in
contact with the mott eorrupting in.
flucnces known in the catalogue oil
political crime: deception, persccu.
tion, slander, bribery and even vul.
gality. Familiarity with which can
not but corrupt the purest character,
We do not desire to be charged with
the imputation of fogyism but con
fess we would rejoice to see the good
and time-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, tue better for the honor Of the
State, the purity Of her citizens and
the DrOsDeritv of both.

Obituary.

Died in Orangeburg Comfy, 8. c..
January 10, 1879, Yara G., second daugh-
ter of D. G. and 4. =. StouGenmire, in
her ninth year.
Only three days before her death Vara
met and mingled In childish glee with
her young friends aud companions ut
school, and shayed IN the happy days
and joys, which are peculiar to the
young, but suddenly she ceased to come
among us, ''turDed and sought her
couch to lie down and die"
Taught by pious parents from her in
fancy to ''do good and eschew evil" she
exhibited, In n marked degree, many no.
ble traits, which go to make up true
character; prominent among which were
Integrity of purpose, gentleness Of dis
position, and kindness toward those with
whom she associated. Truly the ways
OF Providence are mysterious, in calling
one to die, who promised so much. Yet
we bow In submission, and remember
that "it Is sweet In childhood to give
back the spirit to its 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 consolin2 recollection thar
''She is not dead. but sleepeth."
"Aslecp in Jesus peaceful rest!
Whose waking is supremely blest;
No fear-no woe shall dim that hour
That manifest the Sayior's power"

Who is 10 blame? Is the cause to
be fonndin any one element OF their
socfety,-of cdueatioH Of religion, or
of the climateH Is,iS not the result
of a corrupt body, some of the limbs
of Which are healthy and sound
though the body be diseased ; or is it
the mature fruit Of a corrupt tree?
Were such crimes committed at
the South and particularly in South
Carolina, a hundred news mongers or
! political capital gatherers of the
Northern press would weave together
as many fabrics OF slIoddy morality
and false humanity TO poison the
heart of every good thinking mind
in New Eugland against the people
of the Sonth; yet, the brutality in
Benjamin Hunters hanging finds cx-
preston only in highly colored ar
ticle of the New York Sun and other
sheets TO pardon vicious taste rath-
er than condemnatory of the act.
Who does not therefore fear for
Southern humanity when such cor
rupt element has been engraftcd upon
it as that represented by, the thousand
carpet-baggers and political emisarics
who were busily engaged for eight or
ten years sowing the seeds Of North
ern humanity in our Southern soil.
Already we see its fruit among us in
the absolute impossibility of bringing
corrupt Radical officials to justice, in
the willingness Of our people to for
get and forgive the crimes Of those
who used every effort to SANDER and
10 plunder our citizens and to bring
ruin upon our society, and in the
doubtful propriety, to say the least
of it, in many of our leading Demo
Gratis Of pandering to leading Radi-
Gals because Of their support or Of n
questionable past connection with
them. Such is the case in many OF
our counties to-day notwithstanding
the monuments of Radical trickery
are everywhere about US and express
their guilt as plainly as the hand
writing upon the wall. To keep our
citizens pure, all the elements which
make up correct. civil society must
be fostered and cultivated by our
people. Our schools must be taught
and the chairs in colleges filled by our
own educated young men that our
youth, both white and colored, may
be properly instructed and such ele'
ments cultivated as will give them &
Ijust: conception Of the relation they
sustain to the State and to one an
other. h:

Reply to Farmer.

Editors Orangeburq Democrat:
The writer, a farmer, whose arti-
Gle appeared in the DEMOCRAT of
January 81, is mistaken as to the
conclusions arrived at by the Ag,i-
cultural Society at their meeting on
December 23d, 1873. I claim ito be
q 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
q side crop Of cotton, but VIC did
advise the farmer (if mistaken wish
to by corrected by some brother mem
ber) to raise plentifully everything
needed for the 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, I 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
we'll 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 specuiu-
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 out because know instances,
both on small and large scale,
where it has been done with success
even with all the past extravaganza
hanging around them; yet, at the
same time, I 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 ont
it's counscls. We do not pretend to
hold up to the country that we al
ways work to the best advantage;
l can cite the writer, however, 10
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
advantage.
Allow me to go back to '6G when
We were left bankrupt by the war
with every thing in confusion. From
that period to TT we struggled un-
der the most Infamous and tlestruc..
tive government on earth, yet we
sec thousands Of money and other
values have passed through our peo-
Pies hands and to-day, in 1879, the
whole cry is poverty, want and ina
bility to pay debts. What is til.
cause of this st.te Of things except,

Reduction.

Owing to the general decline in
the price of cotton and other produce,
we have concluded to put the price of
our paper down TO ONE DOLLAR
AND FIFTY CENTS per annum,
thus placing it within the reach Of
all. Send IN. Jour names at once.

This amount Of clear profits will
more than meet his payments.
Now, Mr.. Editor, another great
advantage such man would have,
is the sympathy ef the @hols commit
nifty, because every effort of his
shows willingness and promptness
to pay up. But how, some will say,
if he has no 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, econonize more closely and
time will work him right times ont
of 6.
IA 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 don't taink, il q
paying member, he attends often
enough to reap the benefits, ard
therefore has gotten himself into
trouble with cotton down. i'll know
ga 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 Ia no other chance but to make
save and pay out, and will plant a
both-side crop-rjght and left-to
make sure work. I trust he will
succeed and be able soon 10 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 "a waste of our time, s. waste
oflabor and indulgences in social
extravaganza that blinded our senses
and prevented rs from laying up for
rainy day. Wo cannot bring back
the past, ! will bluntly say, therefore
IL was our own fault-our want Of
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 or 8 cents per pound: 1--WE
cannot pay debts" What strange
inconsistency, can take q bale of
cotton at cents per ponnd and buy
more than when 1t so;;s Ct 3G cents.
If one has the will, the energy and
manages properly, I say moderate
debt can be paid. l will suppose, or
suggest, rs an instance, family Of
working man with wife and three or
four children paying tax on real
estatefand personal property, and
plantation necessarics worth $1,000
or 81 500, who has debt of $500
hanging over him. He wants to pay
the interest, 500 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 all 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. lie should hire3thrce
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, judicions man.
agenent, hard work and ordinary
lands and seasons, he should make
twenty bales of cotton, four hundred
pounds each, $50 bushels Of corn, &C
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 be
can clear expenses and meet his pay
ments.
