Northern Farmers In the South.

In the March number of The Southern
States Magazine we find several pages of
letters from nearly every southern State
reporting many sales Of farm property to
northern farmers.
Evidently the south is gradually draw
ing farmers from the eastern and western
States. In Atlanta one real estate firm
has sold in the past ninety days $4,000
worth of farming property. The same
firm has an order for tract OF $4,000 to
1901 900 acres for colonies of SHedes, and
it has similar orders from Nebraska,
Pennsylvania and Ohio for smaller tracts
for colonies. Another Atlanta agent
states that new settlers are coming in
every week.
A Crowley, La, agent writes that his
entire Office force is 80 busy showing
property to homeseekers that his CORES
pondence and bookkeeping have to be
done at night.
Since September a Memphis firm has
sold Sl95,000 worth of farm lands in
Mississippi, Arkansas and Louisiana to
purchasers from the northwest. A Chat
tanooga dealer has sold thirty farms in
the past year to northerners, and in the
past two months has received 1,500 in
ouiries from prospective i'm migrants. A
company in North Carolina has sold
5000 acre tract and number of farms.
In Virginia many large tracts and small
farms have been sold, and New England
farmers are now negotiating for $4,000
acre tract. Not less than 100000 immi-
grants settled in Arkansas last year. An
agent at Columbia, S. c., has sold several
large farms since January, including one
of 1,18O acres to a New Yorker. In
Haralson county, Georgia, over 5000
acres have been bought in small tracts by
over 200 persons from other States. In
Centrevilfe, Miss, twenty-five farms
have been sold to western people. A
Richmond agent has received in sixty
days 1900 inquiries from the North and
West and foreign countries. Fifteen per
cent of the inquiries came from Pennsyl-
vania. An agent at Pocomoke City, Md,
sold last year fifty farms to western poo.
pie, and Petersburg, Va, firm sold
forty-three farms. Agents in southern
Texas report the sale of 400 farms last
year to northern purchasers.
It would be easy to extend these sta
tistics, but those hore given show the
drift of immigration. The northern
farmers, ~ we'll as the northern mill
owners, have their faces turned south

A correspondent Of tho Guardian writes
to that paper that he recently visited the
farm Of Mr.. s. M. Mikell, near Hampton,
and ''saw eighty head Of cattle tied up
"under shelter" He adds:
"Mr. Mikell bought them at from ono
and half to two cents on the foot to
fatten and ship to market. To the cattle
he feeds 1000 pounds cotton seed meal.
They are led to water once day and it
takes four hours to complete that work.
Some Of the steers weighed over thou
sand pounds when purchased, end one
pair will 20 1000 pounds when fattened.
I saw the herd Gen. Hampton drove from
the Federal line in 1864. and many Of Mr.
Mikelps cattle are as large and fat as any
of those Northern beeves. The bulls are
worth $3.50 per ton delivered. Why
should there be poor COW in this
county?"
Why should there be poor cow in the
State-or poor fsrmer-whon fine beef
cattle can be raised 30 cheaply and so
easily? It is not the fault Of the State
evidently. What Mr.. Mikell is doing can
be done a. well, on uoIne scale, by any
and every farmer and land owner and
land renter in South Carolina. We
should feed every pound Of cotton seed
meal and hulls produced in the State to
cattle and barn stock, and should export
beef cattle in large quantities. We i'm
port them instead.-NeWS and Courier.

Tillman Stands Firm.

sPARTANBURa, March 24.-The peace
and unity meeting in the Court House
yesterday was attended by eighty-tive to
one hundred people, the most of them
being in sympathy with the movement.
About one-fourth of the number were
Conservatives. The greater portion Of
those present were from the country.
L. F. Pearson, J. B. Brown and G. P.
Sanders were elected delegates.
Yesterday Capt. Dean read letter
which he had just received from Senator
Tillman. It had been announced that
the Senator would back down from his
peace and unity stand as formulated in
certain interviews. Capt. Dean wrote to
him stating what had been said about
him and invited him to the county to
address the people. The following is the
reply:
TRENTON, S. c., March Is.
Geo. B. Dean, Spartanburg, s. C.-Dear
Sir: Your letter of 18th came duly to
hand. do not see what good I can do
by going to your meeting next Saturday.
You will, of course, have good meeting
and send delegates to Columbia, but if
am to do any speaking in Spartanburg the
time to do 1t is next summer, when the
campaign opens for the election OF dele
gates. The iron will be hot then and it
is cold now. thank you for your kind
invitation, but I do not think it best to
do any speaking now. My two inter-
views stand for my views, and can fol-
low them with speeches, if it becomes
necessary.

United States Senator Patrick Walsh,
of Georgia, has an article in The Indepen-
dent on tho agricultural outlook in tho
South, in which he makes some wise
suggestions. For example: "What the
South needs is small farmers to engage
in diversified agricultural pursuits. do
not believe that there is any country on
the habitant globe, climate or location
considered, that will make as good terms
as the South will to industrious farmers.
1t may be affirmed that there is nothing
that section Of the country will not pro-
duce, except, possibly. coffee. In the
State Of Georgia they produce all the
cereals-wheat, rye, oats, barley, corn
vegetables Of every description, while
cotton grows everywhere. The South
abounds in opportunities for manufac-
turers, having an abundance of raw ma
terials-iron, coal, lumber, granite and
cotton. In my opinion the South will
never become financially independent
until she raises her own breadstuffs and
makes cotton secondary or surplus
crop. What mean is that the first con-
sideration should be the cultivation of
the soil for home supplies. II for tho
next FIVE years the South should obtain
her bread and meat from within her own
territory and raised no more than 6,OOO,-
900 bales of cotton, in that short period
of time she would become absolutely
prosperous and financially independent.
This year she raised 100000 to 100000
bales of cotton. Up to this time the
world has never had any pressing need
for more than 100000 to 7,750,ooo from
the United States; 100000 being the
maximum. In the future, however, the
opening of the Nicaraguan canal would
make an enormous market for the South.
In the eastern countries there are S00,-
OO0, 900 Of people who have to be clothed,
and it ia universally conceded that cotton
is the cheapest article Of clothing for the
use of the Asiatic population"

In speaking Of the recent rise in the
price Of cotton, q prominent cotton mer-
chant Of Charleston ia quoted by the
Netcs and Courier as saying: "There is
really no legitimate reason why the mar
ket should have gone up, and 1t Ia clearly
a ruse on the part Of those who control
the markets at the North to induce the
planters in the South to plant large crop
again:this year. Every year about this
season-whioh is the planting season
there is rise in the price which la due to
the manipulations of unscrupulous spec
ulators at the North and not to increased
demand or consumption. It Is greatly
to be hoped that the farmers. will not be
deluded again this year-as they have
been time and time again-and plant
large crops exclusively Of cotton, but

That the peparate sexes of flowers is
q mere question Of nutrition-a PROPOSE
ton first presented by an American bot
anist some twenty years ago-is now
generally accepted doctrine Of botanists:
Even the Encyclopaedia Britannica"
adopts it as the groundwork of that de-
partment ofscience. 1t appears, accord
ing to this doctrine, that whether flower
is finally male or female depends on the
amount of nutrition available, or the
young germ is capable of assimiluting at
or about the period of formulation. Fe-
male flowers form only when the highest
nutritive powers exist. Male flowers
form only when nutritive conditions are
least favorable. A young fertiliztd germ
may, therefore, become male or female,
according to circumstances.

1t ia ruled by the postal authorities
that any reduction Of the size Of postal
card by clipping, rounding off the cor
nerp or otherwise, will subject the re-
ceiver of the card to a charge Of cent on

card equivalent to letter postage. Many
persons inclose postal cards to corrsspon-
dents in envelopes too small, and Imagine
that little clipping won't make any
difference. Others round off the corners
for ornamental purposes or convenience
in handling. But the practice is wrong.

A letter has been received from Mr.. D.
l.. Moody and he has signi.!ed his accep-
lance of the invitation 10 conduct rell-
cious camp paign in Atlanta this fall.
He will hold series Of meetings in
Atlanta for thirty days and, perhaps,
longer.
Dr.. II. V. Alkisson, the chairma;i of
tho Evangelical Minister Association
and tho cx-otlicio chairman of the src-
cial committee appointed to correspond
with Mr.. Moody, received Il let;or from
the evangelist last Friday afternoon. The
letter was brief and to the point, and
merely stated TINT, after giving tho mat
ter full consideration, no felt it to be his
duty To accept the call cf the city and to
start a series of meetings in Atlanta this
Fall.
Tho reputation of Atla.ita's great in
dustrial exposition which has lrave'ed

the invitation to come to Atlanta this
fall. lie realizes that the city will be

reaching the masses will be second only

the expiration of the thirty days, he will
leave ths meeting il charge OF other

Constitutional Conventions

EDITORS INTELLIGENcER: In our ap-
preaching Constitutional Convention it is
mportant to look well into the question
OF finance and taxation. Safeguards
should be thrown around legislation that
would enforce economy in the admins
tration of the government. The limita-
ton of our State debt should be further
reatricted to prevent any increase. The
Limitation of the debts Of Counties, Town
ships and Cities should be further re-
duoed. Add to this limit to the taz
levy, and prevent extravaganza in our
current expenses.
We might we'll initiate tho Arkansas
Convention of 1874, in part, by making
compromise between its Etringency and
our recklessness. By that Constitution,
neither the State nor any City, County or
Town could loan its credit for any pur-
pose whatever. No City, Town or other
municipal corporation could levy or col
lect more than five mills in any one year
on the property thereof. Now, if we
limit our taxation it will secure an eco
oomical administration in all it's parts.
But keep the reins as loose as now, and
the rate Of taxation will increase.
It is getting time to call halt. 3.

From Knoxville to the Sea.

The Augusta people have been talking
q great deal shout the road which Is to be
built through from Knoxville to the
Atlantic coast and hoping that it would
touch Augusta. Several articles Of this
kind, published in that city, have called
forth from Col. Boone letter in which
he gives an outline of what he expects to
do with this road. The following extract
from his letter will be of interest to the
people Of this city and those Of the State
at large. Col. Boone says:
"My business now is to prepare ready
for construction double track line OF
railroad from the great coal fields Of Ken
tucky and Tennessee (the line OF Ohio,
Knoxville and Tidewater Railroad will
pass through some fifty miles in length
Of the purest coal lands in America, see
description of the test recently made at
Mobile, Ala, which demonstrates that
the coal along the line Of the above rail-
day discovered.) Commencing at Isham

(2O1 miles from Louisville, Ky.,) thence
via Knoxville, Tenn, on the Southern
Railway system, thence via Franklin,
N. c., Rabun Gap, Ga, Anderson, s. c.,
on to Port Royal and Charleston.
"You can readily see that the road can
not pass through Augusta, Ga: yet at
the same time enjoy the hope that your
people will receive some of the advanta-
yes of reduction in freight rates, as it is
my purpose to transport the coal from
tho mines to tidewater, not to exceed one
dollar and twenty-five cents per ton.
And as the Interstate commerce law
will not permit OF rete tor 8 less distance
to exceed the thorough rate it will be
easily calculated the great value this
Black Diamond Trunk Railroad will be
to the people Of the South, the words
'Black Diamond being the nick name
for the road. as but few people will care
to learn and speak Of this trunk line
road, its name being the Ohio River,

general conference in mass meeting will
be held at Knoxville, Tenn, April 3,

they have read this they can see that the
road will do your oity any good.

kitchen. The hawk had flown down to
where some chickens were feeding by
the kitchen door. Miss Matte hearing
the noise among her poultry went out to
discover the cause. The hawk, on seeing
her. became frightened aud in trying to
tiy out of the way flew right through the

Miss Matte ran into the kitchen and
called servant on tho lot to assist her.
They closed the door and the frightened
bird, vainly beating against the windows
for place of escape, was secured and
