a Wonderful Man.

frof. winston Smith, " travelling agent
OF the Semi Weekly News is one of the
most wonderful men of the age. Mr.
Smith is brother of Captain Tip Top

rens county, n years ago. At the age of
tour years both of his arms were cut off
IN cotton gin. The left arm was cut off
near the shoulder. The right one was cut
on an inch and half below the elbow.
Oesplte that he has nothing but part of
one arm, he makes his way through the
Woild aS easily as those who have all their
iimos. irot. Smith is Il fine pcnman, and
mas taught writing in different places. He
nad large school in Augusta. His writ.
ing is beautiful. lie can keep books as
easily as many of the best hook keepers,
but docs not like an indoor life, and pre- =.
1ers travelling. lie can plow, kill a bird
nying, bate a fish hook and catch fish and
Unread a needle and sew on button. In
TACT therc are few things anybody else can
90 that he can't Go. He has no artificial
means OF doing all the things which are 80
wonderful and has nothing but a ploin
leather strap tied around the stump Of his
arm. He can knock man down in puri.
listic style and in his travels for the News
drives three year old pony. He dresses
and undresses himself and asks no heir
from anybody. Yesterday while on ,ht
streets he was approached by man who
offered to play "bard knuckles' with him
lie accepted but warned the man that II,
would skin his knucklcs. The man persis

when cotton was 3 3-s Cents.

We clip the following from the Edg, field
Chronicle:
Our esteemed friend, JAS Y Culbrcath,
OF Ncwbcrry, a native of Edgctield-Saluda
man, writing us about a little matter of
business, goes on incidentally in this pleas
ant and sensible manner:
II am by no means dcspondcnt about the
future. We are no better off than '0ur
daddics. In 1877 or rs. old Col. Smith
Brooks sent his ovcrsccr to Hamburg with
four bales of cotton. The latter returned
with the proceeds of sale, to wit: forty-
eight dollars The old Colonel in his mood
o. cXaspcration, threatened to turn him Off
The ovcrsecr in reply thereto, said: Il got
~ mach as anybody for your cotton Yes
l know you did, but I'll be-if am
worth an ovcrscer when four bales Of cot
ton ssr only worth forty-cight dollars An
other ossc of the ncighbors got little tip
sy, and when hid the top of the market
for his cotton to wit: TIN &c and three
eights, u~plied: Your fractions; never
did like them. Give me three all round
and take the eotton.'
MI Sampson Wheeler, who, by the
way, is one amot,g our most sensible and
honorable men, has often related the above
to me. They Were paid for their cotton in
those days in South Carolina money.
Ever since the production of cotton,
the prices thereof have been fixed in En-
gland, and will he for many years in the
future-simply because most Of it is ex-
ported from our country. The prices have
been as variable in the past rs April wealth
cr.-controlled entirely by supply and de-
manu. This country cannot control the
price, when it only manufactures about
two and one.hah nlilion bales out of the
production, annually, 12,u00, 900 in the
world
1--WE can control tho price only in one
way to wit, reduce in the South the pro-
duction. As NC raise about two thirds of
the entire COTTON crop of the world, if we
would raise less of it snd more supplies, we
could control the prices by the unchan gc
able law OF supply and demand
~ believe the production will decrease
this ycar-not so mach by the people reso-
luting. as that capitalists are not now, nor
will he, inclined to to invest their money
as lnvishly as heretofore in the protlnction
of cotton ut six cents. Already the Use of
guano ia visibly decreasing.
1T takes money to produce cotton One
man can cultivate twenty acres in corn,
and, say, the same in wheat and oats-all
with one holsc, and no additional labor,
except to harvest the small grain. 1t will
take two horses and at least four men to
cultivate the same in cotton After all
though our surplus crop should be Gotten,
