The Unrestricted Dram.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:

We hear great deal about trusts
and monopolies in other places and
our papers are sometimes loaded
down with such Information, but we
have monopolies and trusts at home
to contend with and fight against,
and our own liberties and rights have
been taken one by one, till We have
only the name left. We will soon be
entirely the servants and slaves of
our officers when our law intends
them to be our servants.
I want to say this to ali the candi-
dates for the Legislature, no one can
get my vote unless be will promise
sacredly to return some of our lost
estate and stolen rights already
taken from US by fraud, and use his
influence to pass law to give each
free citizen the right to keep or make
as much as ten gallons of wine or
whiskey for his own bone use and
consumption undisturbed by the
official burglars.
I think BOW it is high time to atop
and unload much of this worthless
rubbish on our political carryall aud
return to the simplicity Of our grand
old fathers and I think our teams
will move on better and not jade so
soon when much OF it is thrown eff,
and know I will feel better, and
feel more like live in country that
did own some rights and hope some
day to see my country redeem its
character AID reputation of what our
fathers did give it. and I mean all I
sag. We have been robbed long
enough. Sherman and the radicals
never done US up worse.

Lands and Farming.
The Carolina Spartan

In conversation with E D Smith,
of Lynchburg, S. G, recently he said
that the oat crop of his county was
very fine. There VS. no limit to the
amount that could be raised. @ E.
Smith, living near Glenn Springs, in
Spartanburg county, thinks he will
make 25 to 35 bushels to the acre
this year. We state these facts as
basis for an exhortation. Settled
plans and principles apply to agrl-
culture as we'll as to any business.
The owner of rice farm should stick
to rice and not attempt to raise small
grain on the alluvial soil of the coast
region. On first class cotton lands
cotton should be the main crop,
whether it is to IL cents. But in
the Piedmont country products
should be suited to the soil. Corn,
small grain, potatoes and cotton do
equally we'll Then the farmer
should rotate his crops and raise all
these things, making cotton the sur
plus or money crop. There should
be two objects in sowing small grain,
the Improvement of the soil and
large yield.
On many farms there are acres OF
land that, unaided by fertilizers, will
not produce ten bushels OF corn or
400 pounds of seed cotton to the
acre. That will get poorer and poor
er by constant cropping. The first
object of the farmer should he to i'm
prove such land by sowing small
grain. Sow rye early in September.
Now rye is not fertilizer, but it
keeps land from washing and adds
humus to it. Follow that with peas,
either planted or sown. If small
grain and peas are not cut and taken
from the land, two years sowing IN
rye and peas, with breaking the land
ten inches deep, will prepare it for
any sort of crop. The poorest lsno
in the State can be greatly improved
at small outlay of money in that
way. 1t is the quickest way pos
sible to improve poor, worn cut lands.
After lands have been thus i'm
proved one should work for large
crop, never forgetting that he must
add more to his soil than he takes
from it. Piedmont land properly
improved and fertilized will produce
80 bushels OF wheat, or so bushels OF
oats to the acre. That means an
abundance of vegetable matter, plow-
ing by degrees 8 to II inches deep,
the iudicious application of 81 to Sc
worth of fertilizer to the acre. Such
crops may be raised in any OF our
wheat counties. The same treatment
of land will make q large yield of
cats. Follow these small grain crops
with peas and the yield of corn and
cotton the next year will surprise
you. We know that there is not q
fortune in raising wheat that will
cost So to 20 cents bushel and oats
that will cost 25 to 80 cents, but
there is great comfort to be derived
from raising the value of land from
$6 to $40 an acre. That is what
the improvement of the soil will do.
Another advantage, and very great
one, is that by the sowing of small
grain and peas, crab grass will be
killed out 30 that it will not take the
erops of corn and peas.
