Friend McSwcency of the Hamp-
ton Guardian thus speaks in his pap.
CT Of the visit Of the Committee to
Orangaburg last week:
"On Friday morning we visited
Mr.. George Cornelson's store and
warehouse, where we were taken in
charge by Mr.. Brunson (who in the
absence ofAlr. Cornclson is superin.
tending the busincss) and shown
through the entire establishment.
The building constituting the store is
OF brick, three stories high, and 90
by 100 iect-Mr. Cornclson being =
merchant, doing business of over
5000 600 per annum, as we'll as a.
manufacturers. We found here every
thing that farmer requires from his
merchant, including furniture.
After rest and rcfrcshment, wa
were taken to the factory and there
turned over to Superintendent Pierce,
q Rhode Island man, who thoroughly
understands cotton milling in all its
details, from.thc engine room to the
press, where the yarns are put into
compact bales for shipment to New
York, Boston and Philadelphia.
10 say that we were pleased don't
40 hail justice to our feelings, and we
came away fully convinced that the
world ao move Notwithstanding we
had left home little mudtlled as to
whether it was the sun or the world
that did the moving at the Court
House, being more than half inclin-
cd to believe that the Virginia color
cd divine was about right when he as
serted that "thc sun do move" whcth
cr he could prove it or not. We will
leave it to Tie Guardian of the future
to prove to the good people of Hamp
ton the need for Il clement attachment
anu other progressive improvements,
that will put US nearer even in the
race with our sister counties.
The writer paid visit to Orange
burg in 1871, ten years since, and
found what we considered rs slow o
Town as existed III the State or out
OF 1t, with only few stores, no hotel,
no enterprise, no life and no nothing.
y greater change we never witness
ed. The place now does more busi-
ness than Columbia our State capital
with eighteen or twenty new build
ings going up, most of them brick
stores, two and three stories in height
and all due to few enterprising men
OF the town and county, who with Mr..
Cornclson, have succeeded in making
Orangcburg the pride of every citi-
zen OF the county and second to no
county town in the State

Cotton Picking, Crops dc.
GooDLAND SWAMI,

GooDiASD TowSsIllr, Aug. Is, 1881.
Ehi'or Ornngcdury Times;
Again the cotton picking season
is upon us. We have several bales
among us ready for market ut this
date.
Tie general cry is short crops
some say one half and others say
two-thir,ls OF Il crop The yield per
acre will not hc so much rs it was
last year, bn, we think the falling or
will almost be made up hy the in
creased acreage in this Immediate
section.
We have not suffered SO much for
ram as many Of our ncighboring
sections have. The corn crop will
not be Il full one, having suffered
some Tor rain, but more for want OF
work generally. When we learn to
prepare our lands properly, and cul
tivntc better, We will hear less Of
short crops iy droughts.
Much Improvement has been mdtlc
III farming within the past few years,
but there is room for much more.
Our worthy fellow citizens, Mcssrs.
Is. \. lon end Ariel Able, own good
farms, and are doing much by way Of
Improvement i'll farming. They are
sys'clnizing the farm, and make pay
ing crops.
Our cn1rrprizing merchant, Mr..
NJ. l.. Glcaton, has done Il heavy
business, advancing to the farmers
this year. His business seems to be
second to none in his line i'll the
County.
With Il rise i'll the cotton market,
which we believe is for us, and econo-
III: ling, We feel assured, that times
will not he so hard as is generally
anticipated.

Editor Ortnye5ury Times:
Will you allow ne Il small space
in your valuable paper for Tie follow
ing:
Crops in this section arc not as
good rs they were last year. Cur
farmers seem To be in low spirits, but
we are blcst now with showers, and
all vegetable matter begins to smile
and why not us? Is il because we
are afraid that We ccnnot meet our
Indebtedness this Fall, or, is it on
account ofso much cotton planted,
and such small fields Of corn?
think the latter is the cause; for how
can q man expect to have bread and
meat, unless lie raises it? Can he cx-
pcct to prosper by raising cotton ut
10 cents 4 pound, when bacon is
worth as much per pound as cotton,
and corn from one dollar to one and Il
qual ter per bnshcl? This section has
bought more corn and Hay this year
Than 1T did the year after Shcrman's
raid, and every year will gradually
grow worse by this plan Of planting
cotton. Count up the cost and see If
corn, wheat, oats and rice do not cost
less than cotton.
We had very interesting series
ofmcctings in our cigbborhool, one
ut Rocky Grove Church AMI the other
at Pleasant Hill Church. Tie for

Success.

1t has been quantity said That moth
ing succeeds like success, as lit were
not impossible to succeed without il.
Shakespeare says there is Il tide in
the affairs of men, which, taken at
the flood, leads on to fortune" There
is time for all things, and an op.
portunity in all men s lives which, il
improved, monlds and fashions our
future destiny, but if lost, it is lost
forever, and never comes again. How
few people understand Or appreciate
the critical moment, the crisis, the
turning point in life, when word, Il
thought, IN act, will change the cur
rent and direction of business life,
and makes or breaks without an cf.
fort. From that point it is straight
sailing, either to success or failure.

Gen. Garffeld'S I%naugural-A Pledge to
Capitalization.
The inaugural address of Gen.
GARFIELD has the merit of frankness.
"Ihe natlon," he says, sis reso.
lutely facing the front, resolved to
employ its best energies in devel-
oping the great possibilities Of the
future"
The supremacy Of the nation
and its laws should be no longer a.
subject of debate" Mi. GARFIELD
does not put in the qualification in
their appropriate sphere, which is
absolutely essential to make the
proposition correct-as he will find.
BY looking back but a very little
way in the decisions of the Su-
Fpreme Court OF the United States.
All the constitutional power of
the nation, Mr.. GARFIELD thinks,
should be employed in educating
ignorant voters. We do not
suppose this means anything less
than that the negroes Of the South
should be instructed at the expense
OF the Government.
The following clause has a good
metallic ring: a.
''Grave doubts have been enter!
tanned whether Congress is author
ICED by The Constitution to make
any form Of paper money a legal
tender. The present issue of Uni
ted States notes has been sustained
by the necessities OF war, but such
paper should depend for its value
and currency upon its convenience
in use and its prompt redemption
in Coin At the will ofthe holder, and
nos@upon its compulsory circula-
ton. These notes ars not money,
bnepr0mises to pay moneys
Gen. GARFIELD evidently thinks
the farmers of the country are next
in incompetsncy to the ignorant
negroes; that they are incapable Of
taking care Of themselves; and
thatit is.the DUTY Of the national
Government to teach them when
to SOW and when to reap how to
harness their horses and y their
