Tills *iK>T FAKJIKKS* INSTITUTE. Several Matters of Great Interest to Agri- j cnltnre ??t<l by Some Experienced | Farmers. (From the Charleston world.) Okaxgebtjbg, July IS.?The great; Farmers' Institute opened here to-day, i and judging from the three sessions held i so far?morning, afternoon and evening ?it promises to eclipse anything in the | way of a farmers' gathering ever held ii; the State. The exercises were opened with the morning esssion by President J. E. Wannamaker calling the meeting to order, and requesting the Be v. L. F. Beatty to invoke a blessing. President Wannamaker then delivered an eloquent address of welcome, and assured all that every one interested in agriculture would be benefited, by the speeches, etc., which they would hear at the institute. Prof. George F. Atkinson, of the South (Xvolina University, was then introduced to the meeting. The subjeci of his address was "The Cotton Worm, and other Enemies of the Cotton Plant." The address was an excellent one, and was delivered in a style which mad?everything clear. The speaker was compelled to use a great many technical leims in giving the various enemies of the cotton plant, but his explanation t were so very plain that all could readily "catch on" to the idea. Among othtr things, he said the cotton worm is an immigrant. Its original home is South America and the West Indies. It was known in the West Indies by its work from the earliest time of cotton cultivation there. The first known recorded instance of its appearance in North America was in 1793.. more than a century after the introduction of cotton culture. In that year it did great ciam_ age to cotton in South Carolina and Georgia. It appeared again in 1800, tnd from that time to the present it haf become too familiar by the oft-recurring years of great loss. The speaker followed up the whole history of the moti and the caterpillar, giving" in detail the history of the hatching process carriec on by them upon the cotton stalk. On? method of destroying them was to plac< lights in different parts of the field, s< as to attract the moths and destroy them Besides the caterpillar, there were othe: worms mentioned as being injurious t< the cotton plant, and ether enemies evei , besides insects, for all of which th< speaker gave some means of retaliating and sometimes of effectually destroyinj Sate-oDemy. The question box occupied tb attention of the convention until ! o'clock, when a recess was taken until o'clock. This session was occupied by the ver timely and important address 01 jur. o W. Summers, upon "how to raise cot ton. Dr. Summers is a resident c Oraogeburg county, and has the happ faculty of the always appearing before pleased audience. His address was nc a very lengthy one, but what was sal was to the point. *He showed how much and whs ingredients were needed to be in exac proportion to the different advantage.1 or the ingredients possessed by any ce: tain piece of land, and gave the differer manner of manuring to secure thes proportions. All manure of every d< fccripticn should be put out early; n< later than the first of April, so that the will be in a soluble condition, ready t be taken up by the young plant as boo as the seed germinates. In seed manu ing the best bearing and hardiest varis ties should be selected, and none br sound seed should be planted. Rubbing the seed gives a quick ac unanimous stand. The rime of planting of course, depends somewhat on tl season; oa light lauds, from the first < April-to the first of ilay. Clay or dai lands may be planted later. The speih< closed ids address with some of his o ideas of raising cotton, and the cost < the same. In the evening 3tlr. J. Sioney Porche of Beaufort, addressed the meeting upc ?6'spg.flk>ents with commercial fertilisers He saidt2aM?J the reporti^-ifre' con missioper of was paid o 96,836 tons oi fertilizers in 188' which, at the low estimate of $20 p< ton, without freight, would repr< sent about ?2,000,000 paid out by'tl farmers for fertilizers. He said that tl farmers should interchange opinions o this subject, because they relied too muc upon the commercial fertilizer. Ti farmer could obtain the different ingr dients of guano, and mix them as is dor at the guano yards, and it would sai immensely; besides, they could adoj whatever proportion of ingredents be suited ther lands. He impressed tl idea that farmers should keep expei menting on a small scale on guano Besides being profitable, it could whi away some aajs uia.s wexe uuuhu ant without anything being done. After tl question box, tne meeting adjourn* until to-morrow, when three more se sions will be held. Tlie Second Day. Obaxgebckq, July 19.?This mor: jug's session was opened with prayer I the Bev. A. J. S. Thomas, after whi< Prof. Milton "Whitney, of South Carolii University, was introduced. The su' ject of the address of Professor Whitn< was "Fertilizing qualities of leguminoi plants." The question box, which is one of ti most interesting features on the pr gramme, was then opened by Mr. Jam M. Moss, the manager, and it was foui to contain a number of important que tions. The questions were nearly all r ferred to Professor Atkinson and* Whi ney, who answered at a short notice ax generally satisfactorily. The afternoon session was devoted i the hearing of the address of Mr. E. 1 Walter cf Orangeburg, on "How 1 "Reabzing the great iranorfftT>/?a nf com crop of our State, and the neeess ty for the introduction of a more rapi and economical mode of cultivatioi your essayist has consented to submii for your consideration, a method adopi ed by himself three years ago and sue ceesfully practiced since; and in orde to present it as clearly as possible, wti endeavor to lay before you a statemen from a carefully kept diary of ever; hour's labor expended upon the crop o' this vear. "The land selected for planting ii corn, was 54 acres, 34 of which was ii corn last year, and 20 in oats, followec by peas. It was all carefully broken ui flush with two horse plows in Decembei and January, the corn-stalks, choppec into two or three parts, being completely turned, together with a heavy growth of peavines, grass, etc. In this condition it remained until March 18, when it was laid off with a Corbin harrow partially drawn back and pulled by two ^ t^ymals, thoroughly pulverizing the soil an<T"kiGing all grass seeds and weeds then germinating. The water furrows were then opened with a seven-inch l jlx. . ? uuutiox piow, m me rurrow distributors were run, depositing 300 pounds of fertilisers per acre, and were followed by an iron foot plow stock with no mould attached, intended simply to mingle the fertilizer with the soil The com was dropped by hand at an average distance of about thirty inches and covered by a board twenty-seven inches in length, the lower corners of which were sawed off diagonlly nine inches from the ends. The seed used was known as the X. C. prolific com, which grows as small stock, produces two ears low down, and I susceptible of very close planting on I bed. "The fertilizer consisted cf a mixture ; of 40 per cent, each of Edisto dissolved j bone and cotton seed meal and 20 per : cent, kaidit, costing S16.87 per ton. "The speaker then quoted some ex-1 tracts from a diaiy kept of the working j Vv on the farm, giving in detail the manner of working the and also the different kind of s-^asons which was experienced. The principal working machine nsed was the harrow, which cost only a small amount of time and labor. After ail the work was gone through with, it was found that the corn never fired, tie stalk was succulent and vigorous, and the leave?, from the lowest to the upperj most, green and healthy. He then j read a statement of the whole cost of tLe ;*rop for succoring and working it, ac 1 i dividing the total by the number of ajres, showed that the cost was S3.24 per acre. "The amount of corn which will be made per acre has been variously estimated at from 30 to 40 bushels. The cost of breaking the ground in December and first fertilizers was not estimate d in the above figures, but fodder and peas made beforehand will make up for thi*. "There are those who may object to the omission of rental of lands tax, on same, interest on values, etc , but to tht m the writer would respectfully state tLat this article was prepared, not to exhibit the profit in the cultivation of an acre of South Carolina uplands requiring an array of figures each on the debit and credit side, but to show to his brother farmers of our county and State the benefit to be derived from the use of labor saving machinery by means of which his corn cannot only be effectually and economically cultivated, but can be done with such rapidity that it ceases to interfere with his cotton, which at this particular season is especially liable to loss from grass and procrastination, and the work of which inevitably results in additional labor and expense. The speaker concluded by giving Orangeburg county the 4 'send off" which she deserves for the great advantages ! held out to farmers by her rich and > fertile lands, and remarked that hei fields blossom like a well-kept garden, 1 and peace and plenty abound within hei J borders." ' After this speech ihe question box wa: 5 again opened and the subject of chcier* 5 was brought up. An essay was ther > read from Col. K. M. Sims, of Charles ton, on fruit culture. r Resolutions of thanks were then offer J ed to Mr. J. E. Wannamaker for his ex 1 celient management of the institute, an< ? also to the Harmonic Orchestra for th< ? splendid music rendered gratuitously b; ? fh?m_ The Institute then adjourned.

SCENES ON CONEY ISLAND. Some Account of People's Doings at a Certain Fashionable Resort. New York, July 17.?Most people who come to New Yoik primarily to "do" the city and take in the sights choose the winter or spring as the time for their visit. Nevertheless, the summer visito-, if he doesn't object to being parbailed a trifle and is an expert at dodging sun strokes, gets the most fur his money.. It is worth the price aud pains of a journey here from almost anywhere to go to Corey Island on a Sunday or Saturday afternoon, which is a half-observed legal holiday. "The Island" is in reality only a short section of the ocean shore of Long Island. It is less than an hour from the city by steamer or train. You take the boat as the more pleasant and pay half a dollar for a round-trip ticket. You land at an iron pier that juts out into the sea at a section of "The Island" known as West Brighton. Its patrons are chiefly of the laboring classes and German is the predominating Tongue. Two or three thousand people, men, women and children, decked in their best, are sitting ?omt.ii mhlps in a mammoth Da JUUIUJU _ vilion, drinking beer and eating schweizer sandwiches. A little army of white bibbed waiters are flitting about with elevated trays ministering to their pleasure. At one end an orchestrion is grinding out last year's tunes; and when the big music machine stops, a brass band takes up the broken thread and sixty or seventy pairs of healthy German lungs pump wind with great energy into the mouths of their brass instruments, the blare and din of it all may be imagined?by people who have been inflictcd with it.

BIG HAM'S SPEECH. What His Home Papers Have to Say About It. | (From the Marion Index ) Justice to the people of -Marion demands that notice be taken of the speech made bj Mr. L. S. Eigham in the convention on the 2nd instant, and that the repudiation of such sentiments by the good people of Marion be placed upon record. We therefore publish the correct and almost exact report of that speech which appeared in the News and Courier on Friday, 6th instant. "In the course of the proceedings,' Mr. L. S. Bighain, a candidate for the Senate, made a speech, in which he that, t.hfl indiciarv of South Caro tUOigl-U . t ? lina was corrupt; that the records in the various clerks' offices of the State would show that our Circuit Judges took sides in cases, and that our Supreme Court Judges decided cases against the constitution." Mr. Bigham added that Governor Perry retired from the practice of law because this of corruption of the judiciary, expressip giving that as his reason. "He also said that the Governor of South Carolina received more monejthan nis salary, and to prove it said that during the session of the Legislature in the winter of 1886 an appropriation of ?2,700 was made to improve the Governor's mansion; that a former Legislature had appropriated $700 to furnish the mansion, and that a comi mittee which was appointed to investigate I and report as to how the money had : been spent made their report on the floor of the House during the session of 1886; ' that they found in the Governor's maa> sion nothing but an old table worth twenty-five cents, and that it was thepre? sumption of the committee that the Governor, who at that time or just beroxl had retired, had carried off with him * nothing but what belonged to him. "He explicity informed the convention j that he was not on the investigating com j mitte, that this was their whole report ; f but that had he been on the committee i he would have said more. s "Mr. Bigham was asked who was the e Governor he alluded to, and after a good f deal of hesitation he said it was Gov e ernor Thompson, and that he did no! e know wnetner me marge v?ao iau? e not, bnt that the committee reported ai a he had detailed it." ' When Mr. Big ham replied as abov< !: the same gentleman in a clear and de ? termined voice responded that neithe " he nor any other man in that house be g lieved that any Governor since '76 woul< 3 stoop to steal the people's money. T< this "Mr. Bigham made no reply. a Such was the speech so far as it relate* )t to matters outside of the county. >f The strength of his charge4? may b is well estimated from the allusion to Go? r- ernor Perry's retirement from the prac ie tice of law. Unless we are very muci )f mistaken the Governor retired when ih g Radical judges, admitted on all sides t k have been corrupt, occupied the bene 'd of the State. w But however he may have reached hi conclusions such sentiments are unqual: ;d fiedly repudiated by the people c Marion, and the weight of responaibilit must rest upon Mr. Bigham's own heac ' " * i i no . ^ In writing this we do not wian to anec [jj Mr. Bigham's run in the coming electioi re but we do mean to set the people c Marion county straight before the pec e? pie of the State. ? A RECKLESS CALTJHXIATOB. ce (From tlie Marion star.) ie To seek notoriety by making senss ~ tional charges againsed those who po sess the confidence of the entire Stab and whose records are spotless is a vei Pj dangerous undertak:ug unless the di clarant is abundantly able to fully, e. stantiate such grave charges.

Brave as a lion, yet ever cautious, a Dmiiant strategist and 'l a dashing leader, his master hand will 1 surely leave its impress on the campaign. ' Thus officered, the battle will be decided 5 as nearly upon the merits of the respective forces as it is possible to be, in the nature 1 of such contests. There will probably be ! no "Long" Joneses, no Burchards and no 1 Vanderbilt Delmonico dinners. But the Democracy is powerful enough to win upon its worth, and here at headquarters tne outlook is for a sweeping triumph. Jt is said that Boss Piatt has carried his point with the National Committee, and that the Morton "bar'i" will be considerably higher when it is rolled over to the Jersey border. New York shouters come high, but the Republicans must have 'em. A Man's Head Knocked Off.

Thirty Lives Lost and 8200,000 Worth of Pri 4>erty Destroyed. Wheeling,. W. Va., July 20.?Last night's cloud-burst and the preceding storm of less than an hour caused a loss of twenty-five or more lives and the destruction of many thousand dollars' worth of prop ertj'ic this neighborhood alone. Hourly reports from distant points in Ohio and West Virginia indicate that the damage elsewhere is immense, while there is little : room for doubt that many persons perI isherl Tlie cloud-burst here occurred at 6 o'clock, and the rain was over before 7. In that hour terrific damage was done, but long after the tremendous volume of water that fell was swelling streams, and flooding streets and houses. At 9.30 last night the Baltimore and Ohio's wooden bridge across Main street was swept away, with twenty-five or thirty persons on it. Of these, tec are known to have been saved. Several of the rescued were on a tow-boat, which could not laud at the wharf because of the current. The loss in the city will reach $50,000, and the damage to crops is inestimable. The ruin wrought out of town is awful. fatalities are reported every hour. A man named Keltz was washed away in Bogg's Run and he and his horses drowned. Four lives were lost at Elm Grove, five miles east. This morning's reports from Tridelphia, about eight miles east on the Pittsburg and Wheeling division of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, show that great damage to property was caused, and at least eight lives were lost in last night's flood. It is estimated that about twenty-five lives were lost in that vicinity as the result of the floods. It is impossible to give the exact number of lives lost in the bridge disaster. It is known that thirty or forty were on the structure when it went down. Only eighi have been seen since. They were picked up by a tow-boat in the river, I Pittsburg, July 20.?Further details "from Wheeling show more distressing effects of the cloud burst last night, ant! ; more dead bodies are being recovered. I The sights are often of the most ghastlj character. ( It is estimated that the number of live; [ lost will reach thirty, and the destructior . to property will run over $200,000. Thi Baltimore "and Ohio, and the Pittsburg . Cincinnati and St. Louis roads betweei ' here and Wheeling are still blocked by th result of the flood, but will be clear by to ^ morrow night.

"Washington, July 18.?The bill relative to Federal control of the telegraph, reported favorablyby Senator Cullom, from tbe iiiter-Stare commerce committee today, is tbe original Spooner bill, with some modifications. Tbe modifications consist in tbe main of amendments to tbe interState commerce law, which was passed by the Senate last week. The bill excepts newspapers from its restive provisions, and permits telegraph companies to meLe special j rates with them, irresDective of "inner nr I short haul," In other respects this places telegraph companies, as to inter State business, under the same general control as railroads are now, under the commerce law. The general principles of the interState commerce Act, and in many cases, the language of that Act, are made applicable to telegraph companies. The report is unanimous. CYMNASTICS A MILE ABOVE EARTH. ! Carlotta's Exhibition on the Horizontal Bar j of Her Eailoon. Fully three thousand people assembled at Washington Park, Brooklyn, yesterday, to witness Mine. Carlotta give an exhibition of her skill and daring as an aeronaut. She has made more ascensions than any other woman in the world, and the feats she performs while in midair are seldom attempted, even by the most experienced and skillful ascensionists. It is safe to say that none of the audience present yesterday to see her start on her perilous journey, with nothing to cling to or sit on ex iept a small horizontal bar, would have jeen willing to have accompanied her even with a strong basket attached to the balI -.in 4]?in with of I (JUL] j 61X11 LL1IO little n vuaau, ?? ??w ? ? iron, appeared to be less concerned for her safety than any one else present. She tripped out of her dressing-room attired in black tights trimmed with orange, bowed gracefully to the audience, exchanged a few hurried words with her manager and was ready to start. The balloon was inflated and tugging impatiently at its anchorage. Carlotta remarked: "The wind is favorable for a pleasant sail over to Jersey." "When-the order was given "let go," the balloon started upward with a mighty jump, and almost before Carlotta's "good by" had died away was hundreds of feet in the air. After attaining an altitude of about a mile it ap parently found a stronger current of air than it met with nearer the earth, and began rapidly sailing away to the northwest. Carlotta was in the meantime giving a really gymnastic exhibition on the horizontal bar. She hunjffrom the bar by her feet and per formed a variety of feats that were almost blood curdling when the spectators realized her immense distance from the earth. She rapidly sailed over New York, across the Hudson and over the Palisades, maintain: ing her great altitude until lost to view in . the haze of an approaching shower.? I N. Y.

P. in this locality are in j 5 rather chaotic state. What with'soreheads 1 Independents, Prohibitionists and anti 2 Mongolian Republicans, the prospect i: . anvthine but bright. Ot course, the wholi i parly is "weakened on the slope by the nom e ination of Harrison, whose pro-Chines* i- record is a bitter morsel for the blindes partisans, but locally the party is in a wors iix. There is every indication of a bolt o no small proportions. The new organiza j tion of Independent Republicans, callin; themselves the "Republican Club of 1888, ? are considering plaDS for securing a muni , cipal nominating convention. William T. Higgins, the local bots of tb Republican party, was asked his opinion a a to the character, objects and possible effec n upon the political situation of the new oi ganization styled the "Republican Club c > 1888." "They are the same old kickers that w a had in 1886," said Mr. Higgins. "All the can accomplish now is the same result the effected in 18S6?the defeat of the Republ can party. They give me credit for a gra deal of fine ability when they assert that 1, propose to effect a taxpayers' movemen with an amalgamation of Republicans an ] Democrats. The only way such a mov ment could be organized is by a spont! neous uprising of the merchants and respoi sible citizens, and, of course, I could n< control them. "The Republican ticket will be given i the public through thf asuai channels, ar 16 then if the public likes the other ticket tx ter, why, of course, they <ian vote it. lg "Yes, the Republican party will place ticket before the people by the machines recognized as necessary by all political pa d. ties.

Nashville, Teen., July 19.?The negro delegates captured the Republican Congressional convention here today, and nominated W. H. Young, colored, for Congress. The white Republicans will call another convention, and nominate a white man. This district has a big Democratic majority. Young is the first negro ever nominated for Congress in this district. Nature never builded so perfect that fashion did not try to improve the work. Of a bank check it may be truly said, "Its face is its fortune." An Englishman hfcs written a pamphlet to prove the pedigree of the devil. He dates the old chap back eleven thousand years, and gives him far more credit than does the average minister. <srFULLER CONFIRMED 11 As Chief Justice of the Supreme Court By a Vote of 41 to 20.

Absent and not paired, Spooner. She Took Him for Better or Worse. A New York gentleman' has recently had an odd experience with an old and favorite cook. About three weeks ago she announced that she was married. It was rather a startling announcement, as she had not been considered a marriageable quantity. She declared her intention o* presently leaving service and going West with her husband. It so happened , that her employer asked some questions . about him and received these replies: "What is your husband's business?" he asked the cook. "I dunno. I nebber axed him." "How much does he earn?" "I dunno dat eider. Reckon I kin take care ob myself ii he doan't earn nulla. 5 I always has." 1 "Yes. but don't you think you ought to know what his business is and what his income is?" s "I doan't belieb in axin' no questions. 2 He might get mad at me if I did.
