COTTON AND CORN.
The great error OF the people OF this
county is they raise too much corn and
cotton. Cotton was at one time king
and those who proouced the fieecy sta
pie owned large bodies Of land and
droves Of mules and negroes and were
called planters; and the custom OF The
country WAS cotton anc all southern
farmers and their hands were educated
70 this one lndustrv--.he negro under
stands mules aud the production OF the
neecy staple and still banker after this
ooe crop. There are large bodies OF
land now lylsg idia that were once
yielding the owners a large profit and
some OF them have not been cultivated
for the last thirty years.
