DR.. Lindsay in his last letter to the
Associate Reformed Presbyterian
says:
"sThe spiteful editorial in the Press
and Banner about me is regretted fol
the sake of the writer, and not for any
injury IL may infict upon me-"
II is strange to US that rs learned q
man o. DR.. Lindsay should not be
able to discern the difference between
a "spiteful editorial" and a respectful
criticism. There was nothing in our
piece that partook of "spite." We
merely remarked upon the character
of his writing, and not a word was
intended TO reflect upon him PERSONAL
IL. W. maintain that even pious Di'
vines should observe the amenities
and propristies of life, AID that they
have no right to offend the finer sensi'
bilities of cultivated and %virtuous peo'
pie by retailing to them whatever o.
scandal may come to their ears.
We have good respect for DR.. Lind
saw. and we wrote not to injure him
but to ask his attention to an error in
to which we thought he had fallen.

Our Consolidation.

"a good many newspapers over the
State have given editorial notices ol
our consolidation, and it would be
pleasing to us to publish their fatter-
ing notices; but we must for this time
forbear, since we have an idea that we
can get up better and more useful
reading matter for u patrons"
We take the above paragraph from
last weeks Waterman and Southron,
We do not take it at all to heart be-
cause the editor of that paper may
"have had all idea that he could get W
better and more useful reading" than
our paragraph would have been
What we said was intended kindly,
and we have 10 doubt that all the
brethren who wrote notices of the con
solidation, meant the same, without
any thought as to whether the Watch
man and Southron would or would moi
reproduce their remarks.
We always copy Whatever may bf
said pleasantly of our paper, or either
of the p%roprietors, just as we woulc
do if the same thing were said abou1
any other citizen of the town. Oul
only regret is that a paragraph no"
and then escapes our notice, as oul
notices of other papers are sometime:
overlooked. An editor must keep hi
eyes open if be would see every little
paragraph in every paper.
In reproducing pleasant notices, W.
do not think anybody would charge
US with vanity. We reproduce them
because of the pleasure n experience
at receiving the approval of his friends
and neighbors. To have the respect
full consideration of ones neighbors /:
worth a great deal to some of us, and
a kindly regard of our craftsmen /:
more highly appreciated than gold
We feel gratified at any kindly notice
of our paper, whether our sentiments
are approved are not. We do no
claim to be in%fallible, and when We
err, we do not at all object to be shown
the right and the better way, and fol
this reason should We at any time en-
gage in any controversy, we make 1t
rule to copy the remarks of our adver
sary, provided he Is respectful, ane
preserves the decorum becoming ar
editor. We have been in the business
a long time and remember with mucf
plt asure having been the recipient o
many kindnesses from very many o
the brethren, and no paper comes tt

visits are not enjoyed.

The Figures Of the Agricultural De.
partment as to the Condition Of
Spring Wheat, Tobacco and Corn.
WASHINGTON, August lG.-The follow
ing reports were issued from the depart
ment Of Agriculture at noon:
SPRING WHEAT.
The returns Of August LIST give the con-
diiion Of Spring wheat ~ 81 against So
last year and 81 in 1879. At the same
time, compared witile the crop last year,
there is reported heavy decrease in the
State Of Iowa and Illinois, slight de-
crease in Minnesota, Nebraska and Colo
radio, while in Wisconsin, and all New
England States there is increased reports
from Dakota that indicate fair crops with
large increase in acreage.
TOBACCO.
THE condition OF tobacco at the date
of the returns to the department was
somewhat lower than at this time last
year. In the North and Middle Atlantic
Suites the crop WAS reported as better
than last year. In Kentucky. Tennessee
and Missouri It was suffering from
drought; in Wisconsin it is reported bet
ter than last year.
CORN.
The general average condition Of corn
on August LIST is ia very considerable
decline since last month, when it stood at
20. In August. 1880. the condition was
o., which, however, was exceptionally
high. The Atlantic Coast States make n
showing somewhat better than the ger
eral average, except in South Carolina,
where the excessive drought has cut
down the figures to Al. Louisiana and
Texas arc the next lowest of the Coast
States, from the same cause, reporting 81
and As respectively. Tennessee is the
lowest of the Interior States, its average
falling to 81. In the great corn growing
region the highest reports are 95 in Wis
consin and 81 in Nebraska, and the low
est "a in Kansas.

Enriching Pine Lands.

Our nine lands consist, usually, of a
dark, sandy loan, resting at the depth of
about one loot upon a clay loan, which,
in turn, at a depth of from three to four
feet, rests upon a stratum of strong red
clay mixed more or less with sand.
These clavey subsoils are looked upon as
being of great advantage to the agricultr-
rist, holding, as they do. his fertilizers to
tho surface, always within easy reach OF
his plants. In some of the lower situa-
tons these clay underestimate are wanting,
in which case it is sand from the surface
downward to an unknown depth. The
sand. in such situations, Is usually white
on the surface, but on inch under finds 1t
mixed with q black (organic) matter
which gives the land a much greater de-
gree of fertility than an inexperienced
person would be likely to suppose 1t pos
sessed. These white lands are consider.
cd our worst lands, hut We have found
them onlv worse so far as they are less
capable Of holding fertiiizing agents to
the surface, being, consequently, more
easily exhausted by culture.
By aiding our pine lands with What, IN
tho old Eastern States. would TO consld-
cred q very moderate quantity of tertill-
ling elements, we are enabled to grow up
on them good crops Of almost anything
we see proper to plant.

These tables, while they do not show
the best lands in the world, show n
that could not, by any means, be cons!d,
cred the worst. Taken in from the WHO
state, they usually produce some kline OF
crops for two or three years reasonably
well, without aid, but after that a fair re,
turn must be made to them else they will
no longer pass muster as productive.
Aside from the chemical agents in which
the foregoing tables have shown them to
be comparatively deficient, one Of the

The stock were mainly cattle, which
were penned at night within a certain en-,
closure until the owner deemed the land
rich enough for agricultural purposes,
then he moved hia pen, in order that his
stock might enrich another acre while he
was breaking and planting the site of the
preceding lot. Crops raised on this plan
were often delightful to look at, and there
was never a failure where the crop ana
the land receive propea attention.. No
finer crops of sugar cane, corr, potatoes,
turnips. pumpkins, melons, and even
Gotten ever grew than we have frequently
seen growing, under proper management
at the hands of the cowpenning farmer.
Cowpenning is still practiced TO a con-
siderable extent in many localitles along
our coast, but it cannot be made pfonta-
BILE much longer, as a matter OF course.
Our lands are becoming too thickly se;.
tied to admit of it, as so much stock will
eyentually' have eaten out h range 10
such an extent as to have rendered their
%sustenance impossible on the old plan.
Then a change must come---the farmer
must fall upon some plan to make ms
own lands self-sustaining, since he will
no longer have a countless umber OF
acres not his own to be constantly rak-
ing in his living form, as it were. we
assert that this change can be made easily
enough, and our assertion is based upon
what we know, and not merely upon
what re think. OF course 1t would DO an
