Southern Exchange Association. 1 FULL EXPLANATION OF ITS PURPOSES ITS SCOPE AND ITS PE&80NNEL. To (/.< Editor of the Mail and Exprcm : Siu . Despite ilie generous notice which has been giveu the Southern Exchange Association by the press of tho country, we find in certaiu quarters a misapprehension as to who compose it, its raison d'etre its plan and purpose, and what it has thus far accotnpl shed. Therefore we aek space in your valuable columns in which to set lorth fiirly these matters. The small central b dy, with its headquarters here at the commercial heart of the tiMti'iu consists of forty-'our members. Eighteen of the.?c are Northern men, ten are Southern by birth, but Northern by adoption. and the remainder nrr SmnK?i>n?M and resido in the South. These Inst hrc chairmen of the Advisory Boards of their respective States, Missouri nud the District of Columbia bringing the number up to sixteen. The chairman of each State nppoiuts ? chairman for eack Congressional District thireof, and the latter a choir an for each county in his district. This organization is further extended by the appointment of a chairman for each township ?n the county. All report through the successive grades. , to the central body at New York. To each f chairman is accorded the privilege of gathering about him the number he tinds necessary to make up an etlicient advisory bonrd. The purposes of the association are "to provide the ways and means for ascertaining advertising* and in all ways advancing the development of the South." Whch, analyzed. means that it Vill, through experts gather reliable and exhaustive data as to the South s resources, advantages and needs, aud, through npproprirte channels convey this specific information, properly arranged and classified, to those whom it will most iutcrest. To answer the inquiry thus awakened, it will maintain in New York City a permanent exhibit, which will afford ocular demonstration of what the South produces: aud it will keep a registry, open to inspection by prospective settlers or investors and which will set forth properties for ta'e iu the way of timber, mineral or agricultural lands, water powers, etc , inducements offered to immigration or to manufacture, capital wanted for commercial or industrial vuivi|'iiav*3 etc., uy luutvitiuais, struts, corporations or communities together with the terms and conditions governing saute. A skilled artisan or agriculturist is dissatisfied with his surroundings?some locality in the South exactly fits his requirements and badly needs him ; a Southern town wunts and is otFcriug extraordinary inducements for some particular kind of mill?elsewhere parties ate searching for just such opportunity; some Southern locality is making an attractive .bid for much needed capital?in other sections of the country idle capital is awaiting such adventure: yet these without the intervention of some such exchange as this, might never find each other. The several States of the South, through their commissioners of immigration, bureaus of agriculture laud or other departments have long sought to attract settlers: the communities of the South, through their commercial bodies, to encourage manufacture and the investment of capital: but lacking concert of action, they have met with failure, or at best, only partial success ? bidding against each other, they have hurt each other s chances. The Southern railroads have bccu no more successful, for actuated by the saute spirit of competition which governed the policy of the great East and West railroads tu settling their waste lands, tliey seldom have paused to consider whether or no the immigrant would suit his uow environment. Like the transcontinental roads, tbey * have-to? often carried the lumberman inte the prairies, the husbandman into the timber regions or mining country, and the miner iuto agricultural fields. Of course they did not fit, Not infrequently they have failed to attract settlers tor the reason that the immigrant agent 01 each has so belittled the inducements olliied bv tbe others as lo cause (he prospcc or to distrust the representntions^of all. \ll this tho Southern Kxcbangc Association, equally iutercsted iu each Southern State, will endeavor to remedy. Its impartial statements will accredit to each section or locality all it has or deserves?but no more. Therefore, tvhen this comes to tc generally known and accepted, cash section or locality will develop along tho lines of its best advantages and resources. It is claimed that the generally cuterlaiucd doubt us to the guarantees ollered by the laws of the Southern States to business and investinect is is the chief hindrance to their rapid devel puient, and it is to gather information which will dissipate ih s doubt should it prove to be unfounded, or to procure the correction of adverse icgislatien tdiould it really exist that the tsoutheru Exchange Association has established a Bureau of Legislation, the membership of which comprises six of the ublest jurists in the country. Besides (Lis Bureau of Legislation there are fifteen other bureaus?such as the Bureau of Manufacture, Bureau of Agriculture, Bureau of Miuing. etc,?the funcliou ul - .o'h of which is to gather all the facts cone, ruiug its specialty for the information uf the executive committee of which it may be asid to be a sub-committee. It wi.l be seeu that to arrange the machinery of such an organization is no small undertaking, and that it cauuot instantly bo accomplished. It must necessarily take Rome little time and much hard work; and \ et a less comprehensive system would fail f thoroughly representing, caring for, l ieilitating and promoting the commercial stud industrial interests of the Southern ."<1 ties in severalty and as a whole. Tho association, the purpose ami plans of which have been cordially accepted by the c utitry-^aa is attested by tlie comments of :.:>c press,, and by an immense volume of letters of encouragement, approval and ooug.-alulation?is only now entering upon its _ ...Ill II I I ill f rT-yet it may bo said |0 have, even in this short lime, made remarkable progress, for it has already buccoeded in filling its chief offices with tlio ablest and most prominent men of their respective localities.

GOOD ROADS Chnptl Iliil, N. C , Aug Si, IS'.U. To tbe Editor of The State : l'ear Sir: 1 ain gild to sec that a uio?e is Leitig made in Columbia in the in'erest of better public roads, as 1 regn'd this as the greatest economic problem just now I efore the people. There will be held in Charloite, N C., Sept. 12th and 13th next, a public road conference which will be largely nitcuded by prominent persons from different portions of North Carolina, and we will be grout y pleased to see n number of de'egntes from Upper South Carolina present on that occasion. The Mecklenburg ro.nl law and tlio Mecklenburg rends will be cirefully examined by all attending the convention, and tbe general question of how best to permanently improve our pubic roads with the least expenditure of money, and tbe best ways of raising money for this purpose ; the use of convict labor, etc., will all be careful y discussed, by persons who have had practical experience in these matters, before the conference. I am sure a great deal could be gained for your county by sending a dclegrtiou to Charlotte at the dates mentioned above, and let them not only hear the diecushions but examine those fino macadam roads of which Mecklenburg county is justly proud. Perhaps you can induce the county commissioners of your county, at their meeting next Monday, to authorize the sending of a delegation to Charlotte, and if in addition to this his honor, the mayor of Columbia, will come with the delegation from iho city, we will g vc him a warm welcome and do all we can to make the trip both protiia ble and pleasant, and we will also be greatly pleased to havu you attend this read conference. Hoping to see you and others from your county in Charlotte nt lite road conference, 1 beg to remain, meanwhile, Yours very truly, J. A. Holmes, State Geologist and Secretary North Carolina Road Improvement Association. The above was taken from the Staff of the 2nd inst. We are very glad to see that the matter of good roads is being brought before the people in a substantial way. Our State needs better roads, better high-ways out in the country as well at near and in towns, and I suppose there are few counties in the state to which it is a more vital question than tons right here at t'nion. Some of our roads are quite passable now, but tny ! they are not anything like what they ought to be. In the winter lime when the rain comes they present quite a different appearance from what they do even now : but we ought to have (Item so that they would be better all the year round than they are anywhere used It ought to be so that one could drive to any part cf the county on a dark night without danger. That's the kind of roads they have in some of the Northern slates and as a result their property is worth three or four times as much as ours. If we could have sucli roads here, as they have in Mecklenburg. North Carolina, it would enhance the value of the real estate of this county by otto hundred per cent. The question of good roads is being -"Minted nil over the country. There has come 10 our desk more than once an exchange enti'led "Goo<l Howls" and we hope it witl do good.

And he would surely uot think of buying or settling. Itut if tho roads are good it willjbe <juite different. Good roads in the country cover a multitude of inconveniences. Now, how can we get good roads and spread the town nil over ihc couu'y ami make a garden of it ? Well, we'll have to work for them, and work together. We understand Spartanburg is going to try to procure a road ltw similar to Mecklenburg's. Would it not be well for us to be looking into tbc matter, and to that end send one or two delegates iu tbc Convention at Charlotte to look nt those beautiful macadam roads and come back and teli 119 about tliero, and tell us how they made them, nud how much it cost ? Mecklenburg County lias spent a good deal of money on its roads, but it has not been a burden because it is a good investment. Now, we are not proposing to adopt their system without lirst examining it. but we do think that it would be well for us to look into this matter at once, and keep nbrcrst of the times and our sister countieslit'cklkn's Arnica Salve.?The be-t Salve iu the world for Cuts, Bruises, Sores.

The tempera'nre was somewhat lower than Juring tbe previous week, but there wns nn average daily excess of temperature of from two to thrco degrees over the normal, quite evenly distributed throughout the week. The coast regions were relatively warmer than the interior of the State. Highest tempctatuve lb) at Oukwood on the 30th, and 04 at Sp it tnnhurg on the 31st; lowest "><? at Greenville on the 28tb. Tite<e was more sunshine than during the previous week. During the latter portion of t^9 wick tli/ero was much haze or smoke, vtU'wli coiled light fleecy clouds to form during the hoite-t parts of the day through which the fun shed a <1 (fused orange colored light. The nights were uniformly clear after On. m. There were few rainy days altho the rain that fell on the 23th throughout the greater portion of the State except on the coast where the showers occurred on the 20th, left but small, if any, sections of the State without some rain. It was generally nroded ami proved very beneficial, except tbat the showets on I lie 28th were very heavy at places washing some lands badly. Cotton bills arc maturing and opening rapidly aud picking has by this lime become general. As nearly nil fields have been gone over, the actual condition of the fields can be judged, f r instance, the truitago and the damage by shedding and rust, and the rotting of bolls. Shedding and rust are not os general ns herciofcc a'tho the reports of damage from those sources coutinuc, particularly frun localities having a sandy soil, where, also, there is no top crop making, growth having stopped. On stifTer or heavier soil the plum has attained a very rank growth of weed, but the fruitage is deficient, owing, it is thought, to the very rapid growth of the p'nut after the July rains began. This luxuriant growth of weed has given the crop n deceptive appearance heretofore, aud its aggregate condition must be placed at considerably less than nn average crop. There is considerable and quite gencrul complaint of retting of bolls near the ground. The late c?rn crop is fast maturing and will not yicl 1 us well ns the early planted but is nevcrthe'ess u fair crop. Fodder about all gathered in very good condition. Considerable hay was made during the past week under favorable weather conditions, although the showers iu the fore part of the week drenched some newly cjt grass injuring it slightly. Pens arc beginning lo make pods and are d ing very well. Some pea-vine Lay has been cut. The rice harvest is still under way and tly^j ield is most encouraging for a good average. Shipments of new rice have already been nude to northern markets. The yield of sweet potatoes is large, but the growth of the tuber was so rapid that many are split, and a dry rot has affected the ctop in places. Rutabagas aud ether varieties of turnips arc giowing finely where a good stand wa? obtained, which was generally the case. A large portion of the cabbage crop has rotted, but other scisonable garden products arc plentiful, having been favored by the weather. On (lie whole the past week's weather was favorable for growing and maturing crops. J. W. RAUKR, Dirkctor. Columbia, ?. C., September 4th, 1801. PLANS FOR THE SOUTH.
