TEE PEsoGnsEs. or WORK.

Look around over the farms of
flekens county. Since the creation
OF the world, there has not been as
much work done in the same length
OF time, as this county has to show
ior the last four months. Who has
ever sccn more willing and glad obe-
dCncc to natures silent mandate for
labor. There was little forest land in
the lower half of the county that
could be safely spared, but what there
was has IN great measure yielded to
the sturdy stroke Of the farmers axe,
to make room for more cotton. Mr..
Burt Gillespie, who lives Just across
tic hnc IN Anderson county, near Pen
dlcton, hos about fifty acres of new
ground in cotton. 1t WAS once be
llcvcd that cotton would not thrive as
first crop Oh fresh cleared land, but
this theory has been exploded.
ihcrc IS more new ground in cotton
tins spring than in corn. Every
available nook and corner has been
planted i'll cotton. We are prepared
Tor Il tremendous make or break.
But II TIC good, sturdy work gees ON
rs 1t has commenced, there cannot DC
much Of break. With largri clo,
ti:an ever, there is less debt for it tu
pay. Ihc cereals arc cheap, and the
buying and selling have been con,
ducttd with Grcat caution. There is
q most encouraging outlook for the
county. With anything like the sea,
son" Of 1850, there will be more
wealth added to the county, this year,
than IN amy twelve months previous.
The work has been done. Ii is can.

Somebody somewhere has said that
high priced land is tho harbinger of
trade stagnation, from which must
he roaped by the nation the product
OF hard tunes, poverty and distress.
Whether this be true or otherwise wo
are not prepared to say, but with the
mass OF mortgage e-riddcn farmers,
who, with their families, are working
year Ill and year out for the sole ben
eht OF mortgages, it certainl, does
seem that the prosperity Of our ma
tion IS depending very largely upon
speculation instead of,honcst industry.
rerhaps one of the greatest evils
winch forces itself upon many of our
lamefs OF to-day is the necessity of Sc
curing advances on growing crops.
