For the past week or Two, the planters have
been pushing things lively-have utilized the
good weather In the preparation OF their
lands, for all that 1t was worth. Some corn
has been planted, much guano has been dis.
tributed and many Of the tillers OF the soil
are beginning 10 see their way 'out OF the
wilderness" Of their discouragernents, caused
by the late continued bad weather, and with
they will be ready at planting time, which
time, like that for sowing small grain, extends
over q period Of several months. The indi-
cations are. that, despite the Oft repeated I'D
vice OF many newspapers, rs well as agricult-
ural periodicals, u large crop will be planted.

scarce, high and hard to get especially hog,
will be more so this time next year The sup
ply OF pigs In this section, has fallen below the
demand, aud home raised meat will be scat.
tering another year.

plain of a scarcity OF seed potatoes (sweet.)
We have had more than enough for the home
demand, with few more OF the same sort

Many more of the peach blooms which
were out at the time OF our last big frOsts Sat
urday and Sunday, were killed, but there are
still left, enough and to spare, and without a
serious change In prospects, We Will later on
be gladdened by an abundant harvest.
In the past. after political campaign. we
have enjoyed rest, for at least twelve
months, but IL seems that record is to be
broken this rear, Some Of the newspapers
are already giving to their readers the names
OF the probable candidates for gubernaiorial
honors In 1894. II the agitation Of this sub
Ject, has really begun at this early date, tc
what length 1t will so by the time that the
next cam paign opens, Is past conjecture. Ac
cordng to the lights before us, IT Is TO be
inferred that South Carolina politics is becom
ing smartly muddled and by next year. IL vii
be hard for many of us to tell to which party
we belong hardshel, softshell, mugwump
fencestraddler, and, politically, confusion
may be as badly "confounded" as at the "Tow
er OF Babel"
But be that as 1t may, our people, on
on the 7th of November 1874, as always In thu
past, will come together, lay aside all differ
enceS, and with one accord, assist IL
steering the ship Of State into haven 0
peace and quiet. Competitor Is the life o
trade, 40 in politics. Troupe.
