MOUNT CARMEL FARMING.
Is Farming q Suscess ?..-Mr. Mitchell
has Decided in the Affirmative
The Proof

MT. CARMEL, S. c., Oct. 10, 1859.
Is Farming a Success?
The above question has been discussed pro
and con by the farmers themselves through
all the leading papers, both OF this and our
sister State, Georgia.
If any one doubts that this question can be
answered in the affirmative will only take a
trip to the Fort Sholott' plantation near
this place, owned by Capt. T. NJ. Mitchell, his
doubts will be Immediately dispelled. The
Captain says he will beyond doubt make 40
bales of cotton, 500 bushels of corn, 400 bushels
of peas, 800 bushels Of potatoes, GO bushels of
peanuts, more watermelons than he could
USE beside 400 bushels Of oats, and 40 bushels
Of wheat
The Captain says he has made the above
crop with four horses and three negroes. two
OF the negroes no one else would have on &C
count of their worthessness. He has the
past week had magnificent two story barn
erected on his plan tation, which for conven.
iencc cannot be cxcelled in the county. He
says the barn will not hold half Of his hay,
roughness, ETC., and his neiehbors will know
where to go 20 buy winter food for cows.
II any one can beat this record, with the
same force, he is to he heard from yet. More
such men as Capt. Mitchell would soon solve
the question without any discussion.
