(Uondetuted f rom the Xeics and Com tier. ~) Tiic joint meeting of the StaieGrange ? ancl the State Agricultural Society j opened at Benncttsville on Wednesday the 5th inst. Col. Jas. X. Lipscombj Master of the State Grange, presided; Prayer was offered by the ltev. II. N. Pratt, of the Baptist church. Mayor Knox Livingston welcomed the delegates and visitors in an eloquent ? r? ;.l i I speecn. rresiuctii, x/uuuau ik^vuhw with force and hucnor. Both addresses elicited hearty applause. Th? roll-call showed loo delegates and visitors. Every coantv except Georgetown and Horry was represented. On motion it was resolved that during the discussion after each essay tjie speeches be limited to ten minutes. The first essay was "Fertilizers best suited"to agricultural products on the different soil3:.; of our State," by Dr. P. E.|Chazal, State chemist, of Columbia,^S. C* Threwas a very interesting and instructive address, and was listened to with marked attention. Discussion on this subject was called for, and a variety of experiences were elicited from farmers in different parts - __ .~ .t-~ oi ine outm its w uic MJJII aim vjnctni.jp of fertilizers used in making corn. Mr. J. J. Dargan made thirty-five bushels to an acre with cotton seed meal .and Ashley phosphate. Mr. Stackfconse, of Marion, made about forty bushels to an acre, with one hundred pounds high grade phosphate to the acre. Dr. Chazal had suggested in his essay the importance of experimental stations. ?nr? said that the denartment of agriculture intended to establish several of them. This suggestion was taken up and strongly advocated by Mr. Forcher, of Charleston, and Master -Lipscomb. Col. Lipscomb incidentally contended that to exchange your cottou seed for cotton seed meal rink use the latter as a fertilizer might do for a promising year like this, but might ruin your cotton plant and your land-at the same time. He did not care to learn how to make 3,500 or 4,000 pounds of seed cotton to the acre, but he was hunting the man who could tell him how he could raise cotton at six cents per ponnd and sell it at ten cents-per ponnd. Dr. Chazal replied, showing by a few plain, scientific facts that the cotton seed oil was not only useless to me lanu out injurious lueiciv. The afternoon session opened at 4.15 p. m. Master Lipscomb announced that Mr.: Sampson was in the town and offered to present to one member from each county one of his improved proughs to be tried and reported upon by iS^dohee: Col. Lipscomb advised the lrrc^ng^to accept the offer. lie then" declared the discussion on Dr. Chazal's essay still open. Mr. Hinson, of James Island, offered a resolution directing experiments on cotton fertilizers* to be made at a cost not exceeding ?200. t: r% T> r 1 x I Jir. ?>. r. orayiuu, ui ;iuuwsuii, moved to refer the resolution to the president of the State University, hoping that itwsis an agricnltural college as it pnrported to be. No one seconding the motion, Mr. Hinson's resolution was referred to the two bodies for their separate action. Mr. IS. M. Anderson, of Richland, asked to reopen the discussion on Dr. Chazal's essay and delivered a short speech in favor of cottonseed oil mills, daring which be mentioned that he was the agent of an oil mill. Mr. C. H. Moise, of Sumter, rose to a point of order, and -objected to Mr. ^vuuciauu 9 UJ. uwjjanvn lit tuv uioijuosion, on the ground that he was pecuniarily^"interested."* The chair ruled the point not well taken. Mr. Moise appealed, and the decision of the chair was sustained. Meanwhile, Mr. Anderson's time had expired. Tl>e meeting then passed to th? next essay, viz.: "Tobacco, the kind to be grown on the different soils of the State," by Thos. J. Moore, of Spartanburg. This essayist confined himself strictly to the scientific cultivation of tobacco. He was satisfied that Havana would not do in this country. Discussion was called for, bnt no /MID voennnrlinfr thf? rrippf 1 llir naiSPfl to the next essay, viz: "Grape culture and wine manufacturing," by H. B. Buist, of Greenville. The essay was short and" pithy. It elicited a great deal of questioning from members upon various - points, to all of which Mr. Buist replied fully; At G p. iE.;the Convention adjourned for the day. _ . SECOND DAY.

Mr. Stokes, of the Methodist Church, the essay on "The best and most economical method of drainage" was read by Mr. E. L. Rivers, of James Island. Mr.. Rivers preferred tile drains, well covered, bnt thought wooden drains much better than none. He favored deep drainage. The drains should not be put down less tiisn four feet deep.? The tiles should be laid from the cutlet up the drain and thc_ mouth be protected against vermfi^'3te TEn^uid large amounts are leafrby H the Covemment to iarmersjtor tue-purpusc oi uranurig their^3ssw?nrlilos. vln^'Ohibt the draiw&d' e&ttKiel^se more of commercial fertilizers thau tlie undralusd counties. The great" improvement In" the yield of the sea slancL'plantations was attributable to subsoil-tile drainage. This was a very practical aud-t borough essay.

On motion, Colonel McRae, of tbe Legislature of North Carolina, was ini vited to a seat in the meeting, wherel upon he delivered a brief speech. He was a farmer and always glad to meet farmers. .* As to under-drainage he threw pine logs together in the bottom of the ditch, also made two sides with 2 by 6 scantling, covered on top. These drains lasted him twenty years. He made fifty bushels of corn per acre on c> press swamps drained thoroughly by the plan, described. The fodder, the peas and.t^ro bushels of corn paid all his expenses, leaving forty-eight bushels of corn. Der acre clear profit. UTI.n 1UU llCAb >f OO J.IIV? ture of South Carolina," by Col. A. P.

' Mr. Tillman, of'Edgefield (brother ; of Congressman Tillman), contended < that the fanners of his county were poorer than they were '-fifteen years : ago, though not behind -any otner : county in any respect. On asking consent to offer certain resolutions leave was given with applause. Mr. Tillman then made a long speech containing many hard truths, mingled with agBcat deal of dry hnmor. He | held the attention of the large audience for over an hour. Ilis resolutions were to the following purport: First, to establish an experimental farm. Second, to make the South Carolina College a real agricultural institution. Third, to have more farmers on the board of trustees of the South Carolina College.

The consideration of these resolutions was postponed till the afternoon session. The meeting then adjourned for dinner. After dinner the annual summer meeting of the State Agricultural Society was held. The minutes were read and confirmed. Col. J. J. Dargan gave notice that he would move to fhn name at the next meetinsr to the Agricultural and Mechanical Society of South Carolina. New members' names were handed to the secretary. President Duncan made a financial report, viz: Cash receipts, $10,500; expenditures, new building-. $7,600; fair of 1SS4, $8,700; balance in hand, $200. Referred to the committee on finance. Adjourned at kflf-past four. The joint meeting then recommenced, and the discussion on Mr. Tillman's resolutions was opened by B. F. Crayton in general terms. Tbe first resolution was adopted without debate. The second resolution elicited debate and ompn^mpnfc ttpta oflfarpd. On!. Dar gan moved to lay the resolution on the table, but withdrew his motion. Col. Lipscomb urged the meeting to consider the subject on its merits. "If this meeting thinks that the trustees are doing all"the farmers want them to do then you should vote against the resolution. If you think not then support the resolution." Col. McMaster, being called upon, defended the present management of the College. Mr. Humbert, of Laurens, defended the t\ * u*. uouege. v>oi. uurcuu ucieuueu iiw board of trustees. ill*.

On the fourth resolution Ccj]. Dargan offered a substitute that thev board of agriculture be composed of agriculturists only. The substitute was accepted. Chancellor Johnson opposed instructing the Legislature. He defended the non-agriculturist member of the board. Mr. Perry, of Charleston. He was placed on* the board to represent the phosphate-using farmers of the State. Col. Lipscomb defended Chancellor Johnson and Mr. Perry. Ke favored increasing the number of the board. Adopted. The fifth resolution was laid on the table. At 6.30 the race ting adjourned. THIRD DAX. Upon assembling on Friday morning at 10 o'clock President Duncan annonnced that the extra train which he had hoped to secure could not be obtained. It was, therefore, impossible to proceed with the regular programme. Col. Duncan requested all delegates and visitors who did not live at places to be reached by the Northeastern llailroad or the Cheraw and uarnngcon iwuiroaa 10 report mennames to him. Arrangement-? had been made to provide conveyances from Bennettsville to Cheraw to meet the 1 o'clock freight train on Friday. It was absolutely necessary to start without delay 111 order to make that . connection. Persons desirous of going tha* way should be expeditious. A resolution of thanks to the people of Bennettsville and Marlboro county and to the civic and county authorities, prepared by Mr. Humbert, of Laurens, who left on the morning train, were read by Mr. Anderson, of Richland, and adopted by a rising vote. Mayor Livingston said a few pleasant words and the joint meeting was declared adjourned. The essays which were not delivered will be published with the proceedings. ?TTnnti thoii* nrrivft] at Wlnraipo tha w rw - " delegates re-assembled in an extra meeting. An interesting dj^cussion was had of the tariff question. Col. Jno. W. R.

The subject of pea-meal as a fertilizer, with some other matters, was discussed; and the meeting^hen adjourned?this time sine die. Testimony of Judge C. P. lo'nch.

The hymu, "My faith s looks up to Thee," was joined in by ( the whole assemblage present, with fine effect. { Dr. Newman then came forward and . delivered a sermon on the subject of the dead General, the family in the meantime sitting about the remains in f the parlor. Dr. Newman's text was, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord"?Matthew xxv., 21.

At the conclusion of the discourse the hymn "Nearer, ray God, to Thee" was rendered very impressively by the congregation, and the services ended with the benediction. After the services there was a general movement of people toward the cottage to get a fiuai look at the corpse, but it was hot deemed advisable to admit any one, in view of the fact that it was near me ume ior me mncrai , train to start. Generals Sherman and . Hancock and Senator Evarts left liie j balcony together. U. S. Grant Post, , No. 827, of Brooklyn, bore the remains j from the cottage to the station shortly before 1 o'clock. The military were j drawn up and a salute was paid to the ] remains as they passed the depot, and , the throng stood with uncovered heads < while the casket was borne to the car. ( The mountain train waited at the little , rustic depot. There were seven cars. { Next to the engine the funeral car, , with open sides and a solid mass of black i drapery, was waiting for its burden. , Next in the train was the car "Eastern j Lookout," being the same in which the J General went up the mountain. The , transfer from the cottage to the train . was accomplished without difficulty. The train iet't Mount McGregor sta- . tion at one o'clock, and proceeded down the monntain, impelled for some j distance by its own momentum, and held in check by the air-brakes. The , plain was reached in safety, and the ; train sped on its way as fast as the j engine would carry "it.

The mountain train drew' alongside of the other train and stopped. There were nine cars in the New York Central train. The remains were lifted in silence by the guard of honor to the funeral car "Woodlawn," which was draped with bombazine and hung with flags. The Brooklyn guard of honor and six men of the Loyal Legion, with a detachment of regulars, entered the , dcadcar, also two men of Wheeler Post, G. A. R. Soon after two o'clock the ; train moved otf.* The funeral train reached Albany al 3.40 p. m. The crowd was dense about the railroad depot when it arrived. The remains having been de- 1 posited on a funeral car, it was drawn into Spencer street, where it was flanked by two companies of United | States artillery. The Grand Army j men guarded the remains and posts of . honor^ and four men were mounted at each corner of the catafalqae. General Hancock and staff filed out into Spencer street, where the General mounted ; a powerful black horse splendidly . caparisoned. There were 4,311 men in procession. Many companies outside of Albany and its vicinity were ! present. The col limn moved to the Capitol, and the remains were deposited beneath the great catafalque in the Senate corridor. The hotly had been previously examined by the undertakers and found to be in excellent condition. The public were admitted about five o'clock, being permitted to walk two ( abreast on each side of the casket, , which lay on an inclined dais. Seven thousand four hundred persons viewed ' the remains the first horn*. The guard of honor consisted of distinguished ' members of the Grand Army 'of the 11 Republic. It is estimated thai over 71,000 people viewed the remains at Albany. FROM ALBANY TO NEW YORK. The remains lay in state in the capi- J tol in Albany till 11 & o'clock on Wednesday morning.

The sombre car was waiting at the foot of the steps in the street. Four men were inside the car and assisted ' in lifting the remains to the black dais within the mounted catafalque. Then the companies of regulars were ranged on either side of the car. The Grand 1 Army guard took positions, the tram- ] pets rang out and the procession start ed at a" measured pace down State ! street, various organizations falling in 1 to form the procession, reaching Broad- } way amid the dull boom of cannon and the"tolling and chimiug of bells in the 1 steeples. 1 The train left at 12.30 o'clock. At 1 that instant a dirge came up to the J ears of all in the train from the band ' of the Jackson corps that stood in line and saluted. Hundreds of persons standing nearest the tracks laid coins on the rails to have them flattened be- < ncath the wheels of the train that car- < ned General Grant on bis last journey, j On the rcofsof the houses in the vicin- i ity hundreds witnessed the start, ahd ; as the black train rumbled across the : long bridge over the Hudson it was ] between dense lines of people who filled the footpath on either side. 1 Across the river there were crowds o: j people. Shops and stores and factorios had closed their doors to business. i At every station crowds were assern- ; bled and stood with uncovered heads i as the train passed. At all of the principal stations guns were fired as the train passed, and at the garrisons opposite West Point the entire body ; of West Point cadets, in uniform, with ' all the officers of the Academy, were ; drawn up facing the railroad at "pre- J sent arms,*7 while from the opposite , side of the river the flash and boom of ] neavy guos were repeaieu every nve i seconds. No stops were made. 1 The train reached the Grand Central Depot, New York, at 5, p. m. Th'e arrangements for the reception were jerfect. The coffin was borue out of he car. and evervthiiiff was soon in eadiness for the march to the City Iall. Ali along the line of march the >eople showed their profound respect. Che body was first taken into a private 1 oom, to be prepared for being viewed i n* the public.

He thought that he body was remarkably well preserved and that the features of the lead soldier looked quite natural. Dr. j. W.

The crowd^t this time was not over 1,200 or l,500nn number, ind no great haste was nse|l in passing :he people along. Very many of the earliest comers were working women md men carrying lunches, tools, etc. About 8 o'clock the appearance of the throng indicated that clerks, bookkeepers and merchants of early habits were taking a last view of the dead Seneral on their way to business. By Lhis time the crowd grew denser and hev were iiryed .ilonc fit a. faster njine i few hours alter. It was then to be seen at one time that the speed at. ivhich the visitors were hurried through grew to be undignified and ill befitting the character of the occasion. Rapidly, however, as the people svere hurried, the crowd at the starling point increased to a throng. At 11 o'clock it took an hour or more for new comers to enter the building. At that lime 30,000 persons had passed the casket. As the morning wore on to midday more women, young and old, appeared in the line of visitors.

The numbers at the point of formation had increased. The passage of people at the casket was averaging about 100 a minute, and at 1 o'clock 42,000 persons had visited the remains. By night the number who had done so was over ninety thousand. OTHER ITEMS OK INTEREST. ' A meeting of ex-Confederates was held in New York on Wednesday night, Gen. John B. Gordon presiding, at which several speeches eulogistic of General Grant were made. Resolutions in the same strain were unanimously adopted. Gen. John B. Gordon, who, at Spottsylvania Court House, checked- Gen. Hancock's advance through the captnred salient on the 12th of May, 1864, and who commanded one wing of Lee's army and made the last assault upon Gen. Grant's line at Appomattox, has been appointed aide to Gen. Hancock j for the funeral ceremonies Gen. Fitzhngh Lee, accompanied bv j Major Cortlandt 11.

A large crowd of people from Appomattox Court House assembled on Thursday morning and draped in mourning the house in which Generals Grant and Lee signed the terms of surrender in April, I860. It is proposed lo allow the drapery to remain' thirty days in respect to the memory of General Grant. The second day's proceedings of the Texas Confederate reunion at Fort Worth, Texas, last week, consisted of speeches by u number of Confederate Generals, all of whom eulogized the soldierly ability, courage and magnanimity of Gen.Graut. President Cleveland was requested Lo declare last Fatnrday a legal holiday, but he found that he had no authority to do so. From the Corporal.

Synopsis of the Report* Made to the Agricultural Department for July The State department of agriculture furnishes the following1 information regarding the growing crops, which is ierived from the reports of its county ind township correspondents: corrox. The favorable condition ol the cotton irop during June has been fully maintained in July. Generally throughout the State the plant shows a rapid and healthy growth, and the reports indicate one of the finest crops grown in the State for many years. In some sections the rains have been excessive, and in others there has been insufficient rainfall, but these conditions exist only in a few localities, and are not general enough to appreciably affect the crop. The correspondents, with scarcely an exception, report that where the crops have been weil worked, and this has been done very generally, the pros pects for a full yield are very promising. Caterpillars have appeared in Aiken, Darlington, Orangeburg, Beaufort, Sumter, Berkeley, Charleston, Colleton and Hampton, but so far have done mo serious barm, yet farmers are apprehensive of damage that may be [lone by the second brood. The planters have begun the use of Paris green in some of the lower counties, and this will be resorted to in other sections, if necessary. Slight shedding is noticed In localities, but the crop has sustained no injury from this cause. Some correspondents say that the plant is growing too much to weed and is not fruiting well. Tn n fine fnirncliine l;tl?r>r lint been sufficient to work the crop, and it is still still grassy, and a small area has been abandoned from this cause. The condition August 1 is reported: In upper Carolina at 101; middle Carolina at 99, and lower Carolina at 98. Average for the State 99. The following was the condition reported on August 1 in the vears mentioned: 1881, 72; 1882, 94; 1883, 79; and ill 1884, 84. The condition is higher than any reported by the national department of agriculture since 1870. In that year it was reported at 101. The next highest reports made by that department were in 1872, 1880 and 1882, when it was estimated at 98. m <JUK>. The corn crop is nnusnally good, and many of the correspondents express the opinion that it will be the largest yield ever obtained it) the State.

A correspondent in Berkeley says: "It has been almost impossible owing- to frequent rains to destroy the grrass in the rice crop, but the prospects now are very tine." OTIiKR CHOPS. The smaller crops have been ncces* sarily ne^lectcd on account of flic labor needed to keep the more important crops well worked, and the condition is consequently lower than it would othe.-ivise have been. Sorsrhum is reported at 98, sugar cane 95, peas 99, Irish potataes 97 and sweet potatoes 99. Salvationists Mobbed.
