OUR CORRESPONDENTS. KeltonT ~ Nov. 12.?Wc I ave had very fine weather I for pntheriug cotton, orn nnd other fnriu pioduce for the last week, bui pi ices a-c very l< w, so low that the producer cauti -t pay expenses. Wlitn fu-ni producis get below the urceisary expenses to raise them it is time to call a halt. What the firmer* in ginoral aro going to do about their debts I ' cannot see. Tho wiiter took atrip to Spartaubug last Monday in a wagon to movo the widow of Dr. \Y. T. D ilton back to the ltidgc. 1 arrived in the city at two o'clock aud was wilco ncd in the home of General Holland. Afier securing our stock we went out to the hot o yard where wo saw all kind of stock ftom the sixc of a mastiff dog to an elephant. Pome were fat as mud nnd some as poor a* Job's turkey. Some were gentlo and mildtcrnpircd while othivs were ill and contrary , ..I I 1.1.1. - -I -r . . ami cvui'i ? ciibw ui rooncco c ut of a titan's niouih and not touch bis lips. While walking about looking over the town 1 s%w n disgusting s;ght, it was this: A white man nud negro got into a dispute, tho darkey struck the white man with a rock and then col'nred him. The police theu stepped up and pulled them apart and arrested the white man and let the negro go free, which was very offensive to a l'ea I'idger's ' feeling. The dispensary constables were in Spartanburg looking after the blind tigers. | Late Monday evening they denned one but the 6tripcJ animal would not allow any pcrs n to go into his don, but the sherilf and his j assistants. Tho const.tides *< ere very caiiu and did not raise ai y rue us about the matter. About sundown a policeman a'tempted to arrest a man by the name of Leo but fiiled on some account. 1 think the otlicir got a little wcak-kceed l'.,r it looked very much like there would he sor?? one hurt from the way pistols were being drawn. I loft and went to Mr. Holland's and there had a pleasant time until Tuesday morning, when 1 put my mules to the wagnn and bid Mr. Holland and family adieu and lefi Spartanburg. Mr. S. J. II.

F. ij t Joneeville. t, Nov. 111.?Winter is upon us in earnest at b last, but most people aro very well prepared b for it, ns most of the crops have been h- ti ere 1 in d The election last week was uot attcuded with any great interest, about the only It tiling that seemed to stir tho peop'o at all st was the Constitutional Convention. A good n ninny of the colored bretheti turned out to vote "No" ami they v led also for l'ope and at Mellon, but tlie convention iiicstioii was di what brought thoui out, or I It ey wot'. Id tli hardly have turned out at all. Out of a total bi vote of both races in the Township of duO, tli only l'tl voles were polled. All went oil" ge >iuiet and we aro trying to get settled down to peace and harmony. wt For the information of my friend and brother C. It. It., of sedalia, I would say pr that all the mules I ever remember seeing ex about Joncswrillc with bui una ?<MiitUn l.u.l it.. four legs. They have no Itiml -dtouldcrs ar ^they take that jmrt out in leg-, which is lite tit conspicuous i art of tite ino'c. The *e H^^^Hcxcc]>(iutt I speak ot I became acquainted br in litis way. A man that didn't live n is ^^hundre I miles from Joncsvtllc hail a law ay suit at Spartanburg, and lie employed the ar Hon. Stanjarne Wilson as attorney, giving co hint a note for thirty dollars for the fee ami wi a utot tgnge on a inulc to secure the same. 'I'll Some time afterwards Mr. Wilson sent the be papers to me and requested that 1 closo the an mortgage, sat sly litysc'f f r trouble and sil fend hint his money. 1 deputized a man us constable and sent hint for the mule and when he brought it in it had but three legs. I advertised and sold according to the terms set out in the mortgnge ami the mule brought fivo dol'nrs. 1 reserved ten per cent, commission, fifty cents, | aid the constable two dollars and 50cents and sent Mr. Wilson tho balance, two dollars. The gentleman that give Mr. Wi'son the mortgage is a reformer and of course we all know where Mr. Wilsou stands. Mr. 0. 11. 11. might have known the wart removed from the mule at Joinsvtlle tho other day was not on tho mule's hinder paiIs or the doctor and all who as- . fisted him would have been dead instead of 1 the ntule. . ni Mrs. J. 11.

All of ibe talk now nearly is "hard times." unless it is election news, nn<l s> ibero is not my other news of much consequence The people here nnd others whom 1 have heard tu k are not at all surprised at tho result of the elcciioi s in many of the other Fiatcs. bioause whon tho majority of the people lost confidence in tho present "powers that be," nationally, they began to look for this turn, end so were prepared for it. 'ibero is much talk concerning lloddey's chetne to form a Farmers Trust, to regulate cotton prices, and the scheme is bo coining quite prominent. Some think it the very Ihng. and some doubt it ; whether the people could bo held together for the purpose <r not Slid all admit that something is necessity, and must bo done. People are getting in a tad (is. Some contractod deb's under eight and ten cent cotton, and now have to pay them off with five cent cotton, when it is strongly denied that it can bo made nt that at a 1. And the consequence is, they can t pay it iu one year and live. They are making sacrifices now, to (heir lc'r.ment. Mr. Roddey says that all of tlio factories, North and 1' s?, n'C combined against the irtluoer of r.tw material, and ho might it .v Veen safe in adding 'South.' For it is cer: i' money is made out of cotton somcwlte o Lab r is cheap, away below i's wor li 1 am tol l, and cotton is cheap, away below i s w rib, and tlien inferior cotton goo Is arc up, awny above their worth. Thetc areg"d? on the market now nt not less than live cuts per yard, that would almost niiMver f r milk strainers, and is so iiiivnor uai H can not aniwcr for ft working man's shirt, ns i> cannot last long, an<l is t-o expensive. Of such cloth, ono pound of cotton \vi 1 nuke not lets than eight yar.ls and the fae'oti.-s must be more than doubling their irotoy. If a farmer could make cle? r of oil expenses, three cents a pound on his cotton he could make money and spend it in icviving trade. The question is, "What must he done?'' I think what would he be!It than trusts, would be neighborhood factories on a small scale. If the farmers of a mighkorhood would get together, find oni It >w many cords and spinMrs it required to keep one loom running, ind how ti.any tnles of cotton a loom cott'd make up in a yuir, and put up a f ct- ry, not for the show of a fine and costly structure?work up their co'ton and sell the doth, they might do better than trying to rorm trusts. As to the expense, let each taan's bo in proportion to ilie amount of lotton lie had to wotk up. A set of operaives cotil 1 tie employed, and employment >o given all of the year. As some planters would ltav.c to await some time before their doth was put on the market, no doubt thoir ireditors would be lenient with Ihotn, knowng that they were meaning we 1. There would bo no danger of not sel ing goods, for hesc big factories sometime' run on douhlo imc t> supply the demand, and arc brazen iiiougli to tell you at the same time that here is no overproduction. Now why cau't list as good clot It lie made w here just from ive to ten looms arc run, as where five hunIred. One loom in a house by itsc'f would tot do any more work than f it had a liunlre I companions. It might be a better rim or a few who arc able or cttld get the aouey, to put up small factories, end work ip the cotion of a community, and charge lie patrons a toll, and run iliciu under the nine piinciplc thai a gin ry or mill is run. hat p'an would not require so much money o run it, as the owner would not have to my the material nor pay a man to do it 'lien there would not be such a good chance o monopolize (lie thing, as there seems to e now, for there are strong suspicions of a rust formed to the awful iiuit of the proofing classes. I may have put this in a very bid shape > bring i' out, as I would like, but 1 hope i one of the older and better informed men, i ut only farmers, but all who know that < agriculture is tlie source of all wealth," I id is in sympathy, w? uUl take it up an I < iseuss fully, and you may do great good, as j lis is a progressive age, tut I I firmly dieve it can be done, and will lie fur better an so much cor.centraton, as concentrations nera'ly hint things.

Nov. 1 '2.?Since last week the thermometer is dropped down to the freezing point, id we find ourselves this morning in id'Wintcr air. A good deal of cotton i3 still iu the field, id it will no doubt remain there unless the ico will justify farmers to give more for eking it out. For many years wc have been trying to it a c ?py of an oil Union Jpaper celled, e think, "The I nionville Journal.'" it >ntains tho confession of l'liinens 11. dnisou who was executed about February March for the murder of Mary Arm ja't.

This iiil'cssion is one of the most noted documents r its kind we ever read. Speaking of imsclf the culprit began: "I now find (linens II.

We are glad to note that this awful mlndy is subsiding in our county. Mr. sane Patrick's family has suffered greatly >y it, and Mr. J. S. Hammed s son Alon/.o, s just now beginning to recover. Quite a lumber of colored people have died with it. ['his, in great measuro, was for want of tursing. Our physician Dr. 15. D. Dates has ;ten very successful in his large practice.

The dangerous illness of Mrs. 9. M. Rice, f., K. U., as reported to us has sent a pang o the hearts of her many friends in this :onimunity. She was reissd in this ac tion *nd commands the respect of our people of all classes The poor especially have many kind words for Kvi ina Hnrratt. May the angel of mercy throw his arms around her and raise her again io health and usefulness is our prayer.
