SOUTHERN POSSIBILI TIES. - Take it all in all, there is no por tion of ih United duties which pr senta s many advui)tuge3 and as few drawbacks to the man who wants to make a cumfoitall living and add some to his woridijf possessions, as that portion bouih of the Potomac and v;hio nvtir, East o tue Middis sippi, aud Louiaiuua, Aikansas and Texas, West of it. Whilo there are populous cities nr it, many towns and sections pretty thickly settled, ns a whole it is coinp.iiativeiy an un settled region. To thK eye ot tho UaiOile i tie tioes felltd iu clearing tuo land for cultivation have fcuroc iy made a perseptiolu ltupressioti Oil tno great, gior lotis forest with which naiuro crowned it. In the aiea feouth of those tw livers ai-d iast of tin Mississippi tliei o i room ir 5u,0Uo,UUU of eo pie, wit notit over-cro.vdiug, aud ca puci.y of sjil, if properly cultivated. i to feed and clothe many more. Let us take North Carolina bv way of illustration. . Ihe poiiulation in round numbers 1.600.000. The area is 50,000 square milts, or 32, 000,000 acres. This would he at f lu rate of 31 p -rsona to the square mile, ijivim; each man, woman and child in it a firm of 22 acre, or every family of five persons a farm of L10 acres. If one-rouriii or tins jarm were put in wheat, it would produce. at the average rate oc prounccion this fctate, about 190 bushels, ot nousrh to bread the family and leave a surplus of 165 bushels. Put the remainder inborn, oats, vegfta hies', fruits. &., and there would be enough to feed the family and leave even , a greater surplus, for wheat cives a smaller yield per acre ihan any other crop grown. This gives some idea of the capacity of the sou as a food producer to suUmn life, even with the preseut small yield ner acre. lh farm f 110 acies would not only feed, and feed wel I, the famtiy of live, otic ten .famii e of five and then leave a tu rp! u , that is if industry and intelligence made it do what it could do. But it could do more than this by thorough culture. J he fact is there is no telling what it could not do. There is land in Worth Uarolina, once and not many years ago, hind of less than average fertility which now produces from 40 to oO bushe a of wueat per acre, six times the av erage. We have teen it. There is lanu winch prouuees buu bushels of Irish potatoes to thu ,cro. Ve have seen it. There is land whic!i produces more than 75 bushels of corn to the acre. Wo have teen it. There is land which will produce three tons of hay to the aero, &nd will yield two cuttings to the season. We have seen it. y Tliere i land which will grow clover and timothy six teet high. We have seen it. ; - 1 here is land which will produce sorghum, turnips, onions, beets, cab bages, s.veei potatoes, ueans, pea and , other food cropj in the same nronoriion. ve nave. seen it. Uf cotirso they are tho exception, but the exception only because in telligence, industry and perseverance have co-ooerated with nai nre aild brought .out tho latent possibilities of tho soil. AH the 32,000000 acres' in" the .state are, of nouroe, not susceptible ot being cultivated, because some is swamp land, (much of whjch, how ever, umy be reclaimed) some moun tainous, soino too barren for the plow, and the larger pare still uudifr timber, but with ail this there is room euoiigii iu lNorth Carolina for live tunes" ihe present population and then she would not be as dense I v populaied to .he square mile as some of the Middle aud New England fcstaiesjtre. ' - - ' -. - What .North Carolina wants, and what every other Southern iState wants, is more peoplei;fo3 right kind of people, and smaller farms. More n ule to coiitume vvhat the soil pro ducer, io make a houie market, andJ more smaller larms to produce in the desired variety and in the great est abundance. More peop e, not people of muscle merely, laborers to do the drudgery of the farm or town, theie are enough of . that kind, but people of brains and energy, who farm not beo mse they, couldn't do anything else, but because " they can do that and understand their busi ness.. The-e, by adding to the pro ductive capacity of tho soil, would invite increased man u lactones; and these would draw skilled labor, and cities and towns would grow, to be fed by the farm. V Si, The granary and tho slaughter hoiue of tho continent it the great .Northwest, but when the North west became that it reached the limit of its possibilities. It can produce the staple food crops but thero it mnst be content to rest, for the climato limits its productions to a compara tive few. '' There 13 nothing grown in the Northwest which cannot be as well or better grown i.i Isorth Carolina, or auy other iSouthern Mate, whiie there are ndmerous products of these States which 'ciintut be grown thsre. There is not a grain grown there which caunot be grown here in per fection and abundance. , There is not a vegetable grown there winch cannot be grown herein quantity matvellous and of match less exc.eik.-uce. There is n.t a fruit grown there which cannot be grewn herewith scarce an effort. . - I hero is nut a gra? grown thero which would not clothe our field with a luxuriant growth, while there are grains, and vegetables, and frui, and grasses that are common here, hat would be out of their latitude and would perish there. If man had done his pirt by tho South as nature ha done hers, it1 would be the para- 186 of i his earth W il. Star. POOR ROADS ARE A CURSE. ( When the people can bo made to understand that it actually costs more in time and money to travel over a poor, road than it does to travel over a good one, they will be less inclined to begrudge the expense of good roads, and what is of more importance still will be willing and anxious to put the business of ro id- making into the hands of intelligent men who vinuerstuna the uusines. !'oor roads are the expensive thiugs i hat curse a 'Country district. The subject 1ia3 lyeeived raor dis cussion and consideration during the last few months than for years and better resiuts in some way are sure ,o follow just so long as the people are interested and kep striking for this important and great need. New Berne and Craven coiintv have suffered uo little through some of our miserable roads and tiiey will continue to be an abomination and hindrance to travel and traffic as onff as the presont system of work ing roads is continued. At tho Chicago Exposition it is proposed to lmvc a comprehensive exhibit of improved roads and road machinery. In fact nII over tho United states tnc people aro seeing the necessity for go d roud.-t, and not leave them practically to take cars f ihem-elve.?, realizing that a few dollars spent in patch work is only monev thrown nwav. - In Missouri his interest is most marked, under the leadership of the State Board of Agriculture. In Pettis countv the farmers have pet i- lioned'that the county be bonded to the amount of $100,000 for the pur pose; of building roads. In Scort county a. subscription has been set apart to grade and gravel the county road. In Jasper county hall the sa- oon license tax is to be expended upon tho main traveled roads of the ! county. In Callaway the ciiizein i'f T one town, lUilton, have promised to aise $600 per 'mile to build twelve miles o. gravel road. In Kay couuty i thirteen farmers have subscribed $.l,U0O toward having a good road.

The truth about farming is "this It is always b ttef for the farmer to make bis home snpplics uo matter what the price of meney crops than to have to bay .them The records at the court houses show that that the farmers who make their own aap pli s at home give fewer mortgage's than any other class of men who do as much bu.miess as they do. It is the only eeuree ,fr independence, aad whoever is caught without his supples at a time likejthia will find that he cannot bear the pressor long.
