they are deficient in administrative
ability, and they do best when under

Aiken is right in the contrast he draws
between farming in 1860 aid III 1880.
The increased yield Of cotton is at the
expense of an almost entire abandon

Fairfield, for instance, is tho fourth
county In the State in production of
cotton; yet many other counties sur
pass her in prosperity. When pound

something is wrong.
Again, out Of the half million bales
of cotton raised in South Carolina. at

to pay for fertilizers, whereas before
the war the use Of commercial man-

the time that corn and bacon and bay

then becomes the duty of the people
themselves to come forth and give a
