Malice ami venom run in some fami lies by - inheritance and they cannot help it. The Ingalls family hated ,th kick ' hated talk, but it does seem to me they have got some epite against us that wont heal. Of course they are not responsible for their ignorance arid their fanaticisms about the negro. For nearly a hundred years their poets .f and their press have been publishing lies about slavery and their hatred came With their milk. Harriet Beecher Stowe cap- pea tne cumax by writing "Uncle Tom's Cabin," which was a ro-iuautic lie from begin ning; to end .and it was dramat ized and played in every school house' from Maine to California, and did more to prove lis brutes and barbarians than ev erything else. Not one of those contemptible men or wo men wno slandered us in prose or poetry had ever been South to see slavery as it was. They knew nothing about it. But every one who did come from there andsettle here, in the South became identified with our people, and most of them became owners of slaves. Wm. H. Seward taught school in Ge'orgia and tried to marry a Georgia girl with a plantation and .because she would not have him, he went back and abused "3- jur uniei Justice, iliram Warner, came, down and taught school and married a wife, and some niggers, and stayed here like a gentleman. Old Dr. Churchy the President of Franklin College, did the same thing. The Stato used to 'be full of Northern men with Souther principles, and it is full of their children now, Mrs. Lincoln's brother was on Gen. Sam Jones' staff on our side during the war.

Bat the friction still goes on. Gen. Lewis, the new postmas ter in Atlanta, has put a negro by the side of a white woman in the pqstoffi.ee which lie was not obliged to do, and could lave avoided if he had wanted the colored barbers were - going to vote, and he said: "For whisky of course, sir. Whisky is a good thing for the barbers' business. Let a young man get a drink or two ahead and he is liberal with his money : he buys more cigars and it takes twice as much shaving and shampooing to do him ; his head gets hot and his face gets sorter red, and if he is going out to sea the girls that night, he has to be rubbed down arid cooled off and powdered np. A young man wno don t drink, don't spend half as much mon ey at the barber's as one who does. Plenty of whisky and bar-rooms close by, is a good thing for the barbers; it is shore." But those who have suffered, think of them ;. the heart-broken mother who' sees her first born going to ruin day by day ; the silent suffering father whose hopes have been crush ed the young wife whose lone ly roOTi is filled with sorrows and shadows.

They "don't under stand Our position on the negro question, it does not matter with us whether he's educated or not, or whether they are increasing faster than the whites or not the negro is given a backseat by the God who made him and he will keep it. Chas, W. Warner knows how it is and has spoken. The negro knows how it is, and would be content if the fools and fanatics of the North would let him alone. The solution of the problem is just this when they get too smart they will be removed and that in a hurry. Ve had tc remove the Iudians because we could not get along with them. We will let the good negrbes stay and let the others go &ee if we don't. here is plenty of room in the world yet. .Six millions scat tered over the ; great West wouldn't afflict anybody and there is lots of room in Mexico. I used to think that the world was most full of people,- but it is not. China has only got 90 to the square mile,while Rhode sland has 250 and Belgium 480. If Texas was as full ot people as Belgium she would have 125 millions twice as many as there are ih the United States. It looks like an acre would support one person, and that would be 640 to the square mile, and that would be over 2,000 millions in the United State. So we are not alarmed about thei land, we will find enough to put the negro on whenever the ISorth drives us to that necessity. I reckon they will let us alone after awhile.

The Southern otates owned only 11 per cen leaving only 2 per cent, for all the other States. Only 25 per cent, of the entire capital in vested in the manufacture of cotton is operated outside of the New England States. The proportion has slightly changed since py increased lactones in the South. The total capital invested in cotton manufacture in 1880 was 208,280,346 and the output ot product that year was 192,090,110. The value of raw cotton consumed was 86,- 945,72o.

We want to be of as much practical value to the tillers of the soil as possible and we know of no way by which we ean be more than by scattering knowl edge relative to the cultivation of the soil. Give us articles on practical subjects. A correspondent of the Na tional Economist has this to say: Among the grasses and forage plants which may be most highly recommended is otchard grass Tor any locality where on trial it may be found to do well. It is especially adapted to withstand drought, and hence will doubtless prove suitable to localities further to the South than any other spec ies of equal value. COTTON" BAGGING ENOUGH. There is no longer any doubt about the supply of cotton bag eine being equal to the full demand. Several more mills GENERAL I'L'RI'OSK CATTLE. Mr. Editor. The Devon cattle I think are the cattle for the farmer. It is in every way the farmer's breed, the cows giving a quantity of good rich milkl There is quite a demand for tne Devon as dairy cattle in the great dairy centres of New Kngland .and middle States. This demand shows their qual ity as milkers and 'for butter. The grade Devon cows in these sections are held at higher prices than the grades of any other breeds. The full Devon steer ' makes the very best of beef and, though not so large, yet weighs very heavy. The bone small, of close build, and flesh finely inarbled. The Devon are me easiest Kept ot auy breed of prominence and are quite healthy. The.many farm ers of the South who have tried Devons, write in the highest praise of this breed. I hey claim that they are tha most easily acclimated of all the breeds and that they are in every way adapted to the bouth. As work oxen they are the very thing for our bouthern farmers. They are nearly as fast in the plow as the average mule, quick ac tion and hold out on the road with th mule or horse. On our smau teuaut iarms. where so many poor fellows have beeu broken up and sold out ty hav ing bought a mule at a hih price, these grade steers are the very best substitute to be had. hey are easy keepers, active, fast and strong; the fastest breed in the cart on the road At the last great stock show in England a Duvon cow took sweepstakes oyer all breeds, the select siock irom iuu head on the ground competing and .even judges making the award. At the last L'reat Canada Fair in tne dairy test, a. invou cow won the prize, scoring 112 points, wLile the. best Jersey scored less than OS points. In several other tests of late the Devon has won. In this country prices for good Devons are not very high but will doulless advance. In England the prices are already advancing. I believe it was last year at an English sale the male Devon calves brought from 85 to M-jO each, and at another sale in July thirty ani mals averaged over SloO each Now what we need here Wilson couuty is a cow that will give a quantity of good rich milk and butter, one that is gentle aud hardy, never out of sorts and easily kept. All these points we get in the Dev on cow. . ihe farmer of this section needs a breed that will give good results under all cir cumstances. If the calf be a male, and we choose to make beef of it, we want to have the best beef and the most of it, and if we want an ox we want the best, or if the calf be a fe male, we want as good a cow for milk and butter as can be had. All these ' qualities we have in the Devon and I think to a greater extent than in any other breed. The Holstein will come nearer coming up to the atTove required points thin any other save the Devon. Now, Mr. Editor, I have tried to give some of the best points of some of the most prominent breeds of cattle that your read ers may be enabled to judge for themselves which breed will suit them best. These remarks are made for the farmer in the country who needs a farmer's cow a general purpose cow. The object of comparing the several breeds and their re spective values is to get our Al liauces throughout this couuty to take up this matter or im proving their cattle. We .as farmers are not able to sell out our common stock and buy full blooded stock or auy kind,- so we must grade up our common stock with the full-blood. In the large dairy farms North and West the grades or some breed are largely used. Just such grades as we can have at nn.n 1 1 1 f 1 .-. n.At o n il ti-!l V.t.i ( '' how this can be doue I will speak in my next. Occasionally.
