South Carolina, and her ADVANTAGES.

South Carolina, and her. Advantages.
This is what Colonel Mcclure has to
say Of South Carolina. We commend it
to the attention Of those who are dis
posed to seek other fields of labor.
"South Carolina is little behind her
sister. Georgia doubtless ranks next to
North Carolina in the race for recovered
prosperity, but South Carolina is close
upon the heels Of both, and with gravcr
obstacles to overcome. Her loss i'm
property 10y the war, including the prop
crty value of slaves. was greater in pro-
portion to the population than thar that
Of any other State in the Union, and the
very refinement of carpet bag theft ard
humiliation was reserved rs her destiny.
h had not only the gravcr problem to
solve Of All overwhelming majority of
the most ignorant blacks suddenly
clothed will, every attribute of c%itizcn-
ship. and with scarcely the shadow of
property or appreciated responsibility,
but she had the deepest rooted Southern
sectionaliSm to master and the tcacbinps
II traditions and generations to UNI
learn.
WHAT SOUTH CAROLINA HAS DONE
But the Palmetto State has made the
grandcst progress during the last eight
years, and, emitting the health rcckoncd
for slaves, she is richer to-day than ever
before, and with abundant evidence
that the era Of development Of intelligent
business progress and Of rapidly multi
plying wealth is just beginning it's great
work. it is naturally the richest State
of the whole Union, without any cxccp-
ton. 1t has the best soil, with every
advantage tor it's most profitable cultiva-
ton Of any part Of the South, and the
people who have been born upon it. and
who have lived in the luxury Of supera-
bundancc and again felt the poverty Of
<helpltssncss are just now mastering the
( probltll that a Yankee, compelled to lie
awake at night to invent n method to
get his pork and beans or pumpkin pie,
! would have mastered in an hour. There
IL no other part Of the South where so
little labor will produce so much, but
with the richest uplands skirting the
L. Blue Ridge and with three %fourt,,s of
the State adapted to corn, South Caro-
lima has ever been a buyer of bread. She
should have five times her present popu-
lation and be able to feed it from her own
fields without impairing her more valua-
bic crops Of cotton and rice. and every
pound OF her cotton could DO more
profitahly spun and woven on her
g superintendent water power, than any
other place OF the continent. The new
South whispers of these achievements,
and that is why the Sister Carolinas are
more hopeful and more prosperous to.
