Editors: We have had a [juantity of rain recently, which lias [ended to impede the progress of lield work among the farmers. Some of mr oldest and best farmers say there liavc been less work done up to this lime than they have known for several years. There seems to be a want of nergy 011 the part of a great many peo pic of all classes to -.o ahead with a rc-1 uewed zeal and determination to make i mother good crop. It docs seem that ; the eld adage as follows is true to some extent, that a bad crop and good crop is worth as much as a good one. I fear that you will not publish this or, that some one will beleivc me, but were I to write otherwise, I feel that i w?uld not roiee the sentiments of < the people of this section. Capt. D. P.

The Work of a Great Combination of Southern Developers "We arc indebted to the Abbeville Press and Banner for the following: Mucli attention lias recently been directed to the South on account of the Southern Inter-States Immigration Convention which convened in the city of Asheville, N. C., 011 the 17th of last December. That convention was composed of more than eight hundred prominent Southern business men. An impor taut part ot me uusm?s ui uk wuventioitwas tlie unanimous ridoptio 1 of a resolution asking for five Kindred thousand North: ni men to come South j during- the next twelve months, and i make their homes with the native; people. A Bureau of Information was established, the business of which j is to furnish information free of cost, io all persons in the North. Hon. f Jehu T. Patrick, of Kaleigh, X. C., { was placed in charge: the plan adopted i is practical, and will save the Northern man much trouble in linding reliable and trustworthy information. The plan is, in brief, as [follows: A local organization is established in each Southern town; a descriptive pamphlet is prepared by each organization. .Northern men waning uuun Jia.iuu write to Hon. John T. Patrick, lialeigh. X. C.. giving in tlciail what they wish to know concerning the South, or any part of it. These letters are printed by Mr. Patrick and sent to each of the towns, and in turn the Secretary of each organization corresponds or sends circulars to the enquirers. In this way one letter from a 2\?rthern man wanting information puts him in possession of much valuable knowledge, which, coming from the official organizations, can be trusted. If a man should want a farm, water power, site for mills, a gold mine, a tract of timber land, cr a winI? 1 1:,,,. -..lo l,n Mil l>v- lot- I ic1 builluuj^; j/jkav,v? iiv vuu? . tcr. get thc clioicc of many places. We call the attention of our citizens j to the foregoing, and urge upon them j (he necessity of taking some action in the matter, either through the Board of Trade or by organizing in some other way to bring us into communition with the immigration association.
