that ihe South is growing poorer, special

Recently, in support of what it says,, it

aG xanos, N. C, May 25.
On the I classic stream of 'Doe
Swamp," in the gallant little county of
Greene, is as 'fine a farming country a
there is in eastern Carolina. The swamp
land is very, fertile, yielding about forty
bushels of corn per acre, while the up
land is a heavy clay soil, and in admira
bly adapted to the growth of cotton.
Marl abounds in large quantities, and
the farmers use it profusely. Any
county possessing such natural resources
and 'with enterprising farmers to de
velop them cannot fail to Be thrifty and
prosperous. In this immediate section
live the Ormonds, J. A.'.'Kdwarda, R
A. L. Carr, John Patrick, Wyatt
Churchill, the Dixons and John byli
vent, fust ' across the; big Con
teutnea creek, about four miles,
lives T A.; Hooker, who h will compare
favorably with any farmer anywhere,
he having accumulated a bandsomelor
tune in agricultural pursuttB. lie is a
man pf prominence in his community, of
sterling worth, nd was tbe first Demo
crat elected, to the legislature from the
county since the negroes were allowed
to vote. . All ot the above: named gen
tlemen have succeeded well and made
money farming But I purpose in this
letter to call especial attention to the
success of Mr. John Sylivent as a
farmer. He is 53 years old. He set
tled in this vicinity in 1858, having first
bought eighty-three acres of land on a
1 . t -11 i a. r
creo.it, ior wnicu ne paia 510 per acre.
The war breaking out soon aftelwards.
he went into the army ahd remained
until its close, lie then returned home,
went to work and commenced buying
land until now he has 500 acres of land,
of which 400 acres are cleared. The
original cost of the land was $9,000, or
$18 per acre. He has erected upon his
land a nice, comlortable dwelling-house
with four rooms in the main building, with
kitchen, dining room and pantry in the
wing, tit a cost of $3,000, and thirteen
tenant houses at an aggregate cost of
X4,04U. Dour of the tenant houses
have five rooms with two brick chim
neys, plastered inside and painted white,
costing $1,000 each. His' gin house,
engines and fixtures cost $1,500, and
his stables and barns cost $1,000. So
So it will be seen that he has added by
way of improvements in buildings
alone, (to say nothing of the enhanced
value of his land by ditching, clearing
and manuring $10,040, of more than
hie gave in) the first instance for the
land. ' He has cleared over one third of
the land that is now cultivated. lie
plants 225 acres in cotton, 100 acres in
oats, 75 acres in corn! In 1884 he
made 154 bales of cotton, averaging
470 pounds; making a total of 72,380
pounds, or 821 pounds of lint cotton
per aerie. He' sold his crop for ten cents.
making $7: 238. He ei ves. half this for
cultivating the crop, which leaves
3,619 net profit, or a little over. 40
per cent interest on the original cost of
the land, or about 20 per cent on the
first cost and: the present improvements
added.;, ur to taxe another; view of the
matter his plantation pays him a.divi
dend of 6 per Cent on $60,000 valuation,
making his land at present worth $120
per acre. His method of-manuring is
by composting 100 loads of muck or
woods-mould with 60 bushels of marl
and 15 or 20 bushels of cotton seed per
acre, ne breads up his land deep with
a one horse plow and puts in his manure
and beds on itTand plants and cultivates
in the usual way. He runs ten plows
and plants zz acres in cotton, 10 in
oats ana i an corn to one plow, it
will be seen the greater part, of his pro
? TT "
vision crop is oats, lie considers corn
as too expensive a crop to' feed stock
upon, hence he raises oats a 3d feeds ex
clusively on them from the time he cuts
in tiune tui x.eoruary or march, when
he feeds on corn and fodder. It has been,
a notion with graat many farmers that
'1!-. . 1 " . .
stoox coma not stsna work ted on
its alone, but he assures! me that his
mules do better on oats than they do
bp corn and I fodder. He -has boxes
or troughs and feeds in the straw with
out even cutting it up. I was at his
house the 11th of this month and
his mules and; the v were fat and in crood
condition. He has no other kind of
or write his name.: It must not be in
ferred from this that he does pot appre
ciate education and that be is not a man
of refined tastes. But tbe reverse is
true He has a school-bonbon his land
that cost $200 a nice and comfortable
building, plastered and painted. He
keeps a school all the timq for, ! is chil
dren, having had his present; t. acbrr,
Miss Ida Edwards, for four years. H
has around his dwelling house a yard
of rnopt brantifal flowers. and
the whole atmosphere' is laden
with the Sweet perfume : of the'
blushiog rose. All of bis tenant
houses, thirteen in number, arc located
on the public road that runs on one
side of his cleared land and divides it
from the woodland, like a street, and in
front of each are clusters of oass; afford
ing a grateful shade, and numberless
rose bushes, emitting a fragrant odor,
but unlike the flower mentioned in
Gray's elegy, "that was born to blush:
unseen and waste its sweetness on the:
desert air," for there are happy tenants
who after the labors of the day arc over
can enjoy their sweet perfume,; and sur
rounded by such scenes of comfort (and
I am almost tempted to say luxury) can
with. an easy and quiet conscience rct;re
to rest and dream of their lqved ones,
of happiness and of flowers, What a
contrast between the laborers on his
farm and the poor,-over-crowded and
over-worked creatures of the Northern
States, whose deplorable condition ex
cites, the sympathy and pity Df every
Christian heart. Now here is a man
uneducated, and whom nobody would
expect to see displaying such taste,
who not only has his, plantation
in better condition than any
body else and with better tenant houses,
but has actually embellished and
adorned his grounds around! them so as
to render them fit abodes for a king.
How much nicer it is to see surrounded
by flowers a house than to : see the
dog fennel and Jamestown weed that
give off an odor that is not as delight
ful to the smell as the sweet fragrance of
the rose. Everyone, I don't eare how
untutored he may be, loves flowers, for
they exert a refining influence' upon
human nature, equalled only by as
sociation with a pure and refined! woman.
Mr. Sylivent's wife,whese maiden name
was Miss Mary Hardy, was raised in the
vicinity of LrGrange and in her early
days was a school-mate of mine. ; She is
a lady of finished education,: having
completed her course at Salem female
academy. She is a woman of excellent
business qualifications and keeps the ac
counts with the laborers on the farm
and attends to all the business that reg
quires any writing. So she is a "help
meet" instead of a "help eat." The suc
cess of thiman is indeed a phenomenon.
It is a study. It opens up a big field
for reflection. What are the causes of
this wonderful success of this extraor
dinary man? They are numerous and
are well worthy the attention 6f every
man. I have endeavored to enumerate
some of them by giving his method of
farming. But the great secret of his
success is that he don't drink a drop of
spirituous liquors, he gives his business
his c'.ose personal attention, stays at
borne and don't gossip and talk - about
his neighbors ana go to town end grunt'
and sweat and curse the hard times.
For with him all tun.es are easy! whether
cotton is eight or ten cents per 'pound.
While he is emphatically what is termed
a self-made man, yet he is different
from a great many of that class who
swell up and strut and think thev
are the only men since Agamemnon.
But on the contrary, he is diffident,
modest and unassuming. I have writ
ten somewhat in detail about this won
derful man, who has no education and
who commenced life without a cent.
and first went in debt for his land, but
who in twenty years has a farm and im
provements worth at the lowest figure
$60,000, taking into consideration
simply the original cost and improve
ments, but which in fact pays him a
dividend of 6 per cent on $60,000 valu
ation I challenge the United States to
present a man under the ciroumstanees
to beat him. "Bring in another Rich
mond." ;
If anybody should have the curiosity
to visit this man. if he will oome'to.mv
house we will take a drink, and, seated
behind a ; spanking Span of , beautiful
blacks, we will soon ; be there, and be

experience is that horse
as not as good; as those of the: opposite
sex. it a horse will do the same work
and keep in as good condition when fed
on oats exclusively as when fed ou corn
it, will be observed that it is much
cheaper to thus ' feed him, and that the
cost 01 tanning can be reduced a great
deal. Mr. ayiivent informs me that
one acre in oats will feed a horse longer
than an acre in corn. Now : here is a
point worth the attention of the South
ern farmer. For it is the cultivated
feed crops that makes Southern farming
so costly. Fanners, consider itbis fact
and try it. You can see at a glance
what can be sowed. The same plowing
uai oreaaa up. tne land tor corn will
plant tne oats. Then the pats require
no more cultivation, while the corn will
require four plowings and two hoeings,
thus making the oost of raising corn
about seven tubes more than growing
oats. . Thjs is an important item in the
expense of cultivating a farm, and I
beg the farmers to 'oonsider it , It will
certainly produce a great revolution in
the present system of feeding; on corn
and fodder exclusively. His method of
raising his hogs is worthy of attention.
He has four aores in orchard enclosed
with a plank fence and divided into two
lots of two acres each. In this oohard
there all kinds: of fruit trees! There
are plum, mulberry, peach and apple
trees- The trees are so selected that
his hogs have fruit from the last of May,
when his plums and mulberries r'pen,
till the close of the fruit season. He
plants a few acres in peas, which are
ready for his hogs by the! last of
August. They are kept on peas until
the potatoes are . ready, when he turns
them on them, and bv the time khev set
through with the potatoes they are fat
and require but very little 'corn to
harden the family adopting thi method
his meat oost hui but very little. '? .Now
