MOUNT ZION CoLLEGE.-We are
pleased to note the gradual increase in
the number of pupils in attendance
upon the Mount Zion College. Con-
sidcrably over one hundred have
already matriculatcd and the pros
poets afc that the number will swell
to ono hundred and fifty before tho
present session 'clpscs. This ihstitu-
ton is known and respected far and
wide, and it deservedly ranks among
the worry best Of its kind in tho State.
These evidences of healthy progress
shoufd be gratifying to the friends and
patrons Of the school cvcrywhcre, and
will doubtless give birth to renewed
incentives to make Mount Zion not
only all honor to Winnsboro, but to
all the up-country. For its present
status much credit is due to the energy
and ability Of the boards of trustees,
and the popularity and efficiency of
the new corps of teachers are assur-
ance enough that Mount Zion College
will not stand still.

II
Crops IN TIE SrATE.--The Columbia
; correspondent. Of the Neaos anA Cou-
''ier, speaking of the prompt collection
Of taxes by the county treasurers
throughout the State, says Of tho crop
prospects:
am Mt a loss to reconcile these facts and
the easy collection Of taxes with tile noto-
, rious shortncss of the crops, except by the
supposition that the people in this section
are becoming so prosperous that ,they are
not much affected by the failure Of crops,
and not at all frightened by it. do not
think that hcreabouts or elsewhere in the
State the loss In tho cotton yield will be
nearly as great as was anticipated. When
farmers are "blue" they are very blue in
deed, and naturally ver-cStimate the losses
which they will sustain. Riahland county
was estimated OH September 1st to have in
prospect but two-thirds of crop of cotton
That the yield will be at least three fourths
of an average crop is now generally ad-
mitted. I hear that one of our largest
planters Will mako fivc-sixths Of crop.
Then the loss Of cotton has been in some
measure coanterbalanccd by better prices
for what has been marketed. The oat
acreage is going to be very large this sea-
son, and I think that, from the present
planting throughout the State, South Caro-
lima will harvest the heaviest crop ever cut
The coat idea' only truly entered the
minds Of our people two or three years ago.
The drought of 81 stimulated it, and but
for last winters rains the acreage would
have been augmented considerably. AS 1t
was, there was q crop nearly as large as
that of '82, and with the ,present planting
the crop is permanently fixed as o stand
ard, and most important one, in South Car
olina.
We would probably be safe in say
ing that at least half crop of cotton
will be made in Fairfield county dur
ing tho present year. The corn is
reported much better on an average
than the cotton, and there will doubt
less be made between two-thirds and
thrcc-fourths Of a crop. With better
prices for onr cotton and favorable
weather for the abundant sowing Of
grain it is questionable whether the
farmers will be in q much worse con-
dition in the beginning Of the next
year than they were on tho first of the
present year.
