A SOUTHERN TYPE.

In the South one soon meets z - Rk
man, lawyer, or editor, or I
who will talk for hours, to any
will listen, OF the superiority
South, its people and its civil
over the North and every,hingt

region of country. and nothing
ever of any other. Young nj
this type always dwell with pre-
endless iteration on "the superio3
OF Southern women" This pei
always brings the mere fact OF

mind than seems wholesome or.
bic to persons who have seen
life and of the world. These
eulogisis appear to think that II 8 NJ

passions of Southern white men and ii
women Of their own race. l do NJ
suppose the best women Of the Sout
have any superiors on earth, but the
immunity from temptation and wron

What young men OF this class mo-

The Red Oats,

The communication of Mr.. Griffin published
In The TINES Of September 80, is most inter-
es'ing history of the rise aud progress Of Red
oat culture in Abbeville, and only another. proof
OF what may be accomplished by persistent eff.
fort We know Maj. Griffin well, and can hear
lilly endorse what he says. lie is sound, sue
cessful, practical planter. who thinks for him
self and seizes readily upon every idea that
suggests improvements, and counts carefully the
cost before he gives his opinion.
The secret of success will be found in the
systematic means the Abbevillo farmers have
employed. They have not waited until the
winter set in or the Spring came round; they
have not sown their oats on the poorest land
and in the most slovenly manner: but they have
made oat culture part of their planting sys-
TEN, and they have succeeded in making it
paying crop all the time.
In the few insances which have come to our
knowledge in this county where the oat was
properly planted the success has been decided
Those who have been disappointed did not take
the proper pains, but went At it in the old way.
There are thousands of acres of old field in
this county which could be turned under, rs
Maj. Griffin suggests, sowed in the Fall with
oats and give remunerating crop.
If the farmers Of Abbeville, who are notori-
ously among the best in the State, can keep
their mules in good condition and make n crop
sn oats, there il no reason why our farmers
cannot do the same. 1t is time that this absured
idea that n horse cannot do full work unless he
is fed on corn should be disposed of Corn is
more heat producing food than oats, yet the
people at the North use oats largely for food,
and why should it not do well with us?
Half bushel oats per day--at &c.,.
30 ears corn-3 bushel Mt Sl............... ....33
and oat straw in place of fodder.
There is the story in nutshell. 1t is time
to get rid of this eternal dependence On the West
for bread and meat. No people can grow cot
ton at 10 or llc-pay Is to 20 for meat and 81
to ST. bushel for corn, 81 to So n hundred

at Christmas. 1t is only n question of time, as
to who will own all the farms in tie country
under this policy.

COUNTY TICKET,

FoRMArioS OF New CuUNriEs-Voru "No'-
AT the extra session Of the Legislature, in July
last, n joint resolution was passed proposing an
amendment to Section 3, Article, Nj, Of the
Constitution of the State, in relation TO the for
nation of new Counties. Accordingly the fol-
lowing amendment to the Constitution will be
voted upon at the general election in November :
STRIKE out in section 3, Article NI of the
Constitution the words but No new County shall
be hereafter formed Of less extent than six hun
dred and twenty five square miles, nor shall any
existing Counties be reduced to 4 less extent
than six hundred and twenty five sonarc miles
and insert in lieu thereof the following: Pro
ridcd. That no new County shall be formed
which has population ofiess than one hundred
and twenty fourth part of the whole number of
inhabitants OF the State. and an less than
1our hundred saoare miles, nor shall any exist
ing Counties be reduced TO a less area than four
hundred square miles F"
The object of this anne dment is to facilitate
the formation of new and small Counties We
suppose that the Democratic tickets will have
the words: unconstitutional amendment as to
the formation of new Counties yes" printed on
them, and we desire that the people should TN.
derstand what they are doing when they vote

ingtoa County, but of the entire State are over
whelmingly opposed to the formation of new
Counties, and all they will have to do will be to
scratch out Eyes" and insert The word mo on
the ticket.
In our judgment the time has not yet come to
divide up the Safe into small Counties The
population IS too sparse, and there has not been
sufficient accumulation OF wealth to warrant
the additional expense which will be eniailei
upon the people. Court houses, jals and poor
houses will have TO be erected, and new set Of
County officers will have TO be maintained and
Court expenses will be Increased. The only al.
vantage to the people which can see will be
that those who live at n distance from the Court
house will TIC brought nearer. But the incon
vcniemcc arising from distance is not 50 great
MS TO luce taXpay 'rs TO hurlen themselves
with increased expenses for County government
Moreover, we do not think it wise to foster and
encourage the greed for Office which is one of
the necessary evils OF our system ofgovernnient
In fact, we 90 not believe that there ar many al
vocates of new Counties except those who want
olice, and the whole agitation on the subject
has been occasioned hy such nspirants and those
who have other selfish ends in view. which will
be at the expense of the people. We want our
citizens to think over this matter and fter due
thought, We are satisfied that the majority will
vote "No."-Lerimgton Dispaici.

There is Work to bs nona.


III any one supposes that the democratic TICK
et Will oe elected without much effort he is, we
'h'nk' sadly mistaken. 1t will require the
closest watching and the hardest work to elect
1t. In itself the Greenbock pLrty has NO
strength to alai m any one but as it has been
made the figure head Of the Radical party, or,
more properly speaking, merged into Re latter
party, 1t is nucleus around which all the voting
strength Of that party is gathering, and the
combination becomes dangerous to the demo.
cracy.
No man can be so politically blind or p,eju-
diced as not toeee that the new name aud new
men under which the opposition to home rule
and honest government is marshaing its forces
Is but covering of the b,se Intention of restor-
ing the reign of Radicalism in all its most cor
rppt and debasing forms. Where, we ask. is
the dividing line between stalwart radicalism
and Grecnbackism in this State?
The State ticket is pretty equally divided be-
tween radicals and soreheaded democrats, and
wherever they have nominated County tickets
the same political mixture is so conspicuo US
that, ifdissected without reference to the source
of their nominations, it would puzzle the most
astu'e political intriguer to find out the differ
ence between them and the pure rad cal nomi-
nations which so aroused the indignation of the
people in 1876.
And this same corrupt and debasing element
is again at work, steathily and perseveri&giyT,,
in every County in the State, to again wrest the
State and County governments from the hands
of the white people and place them in the hands
ofignorant and pliable negroes and their more
corrupt white allies.
To defeat this infamous alliance the people
must devote all their efforts between now
and the day Of election-the 7th of next mont H.
The greatest danger before us IS the arathy
so apparent in the democratic ranks. This
apathy and indifference is encouraging to our
enemies, and inspires confidence and boldness
in their movements. We have q strong WHY foe
before us, and the only way to check his ad-
vanccs is to meet him with bold, defiant front,
and convince him by our enthusiasm and united
determination that the white pc )plc of South
Carolina have sworn in their wrath that iguo.
rance, debauchery, corruption and diabosm
