The Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt July 19, 1894. G. M. HARM AN, Editor and Publisher LEXINGTON, 8. C., WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 10. 189$. Tbat was truly a representative body of cotton growers which assembled in the court house last Saturday to discuss the cottou situation j * > and to take such action to better t'leir condition a6 in their judgment s?ems best and to adopt such plans calculated to advance the price of the fleecy staple when the next crop is put upon the mailet. Tbe manner and determination with which the c >nvention settled down to business aDd the practical results of its work, impressed one with the sincerity and determination of its members and their abiding faith in the right and justice of the cause they "* * * - ? -1 ?? -U.<11. (imo espoused. I'ernaps jh uu uiu? , iu the history of the county has such j an intelligent body of men been called together to consider a question fro light with such momentous issues aud involving the financial condition of so large a number of persons as arc engaged in the production of cotton. It goes without saying that the condition of those who have dtpended almost entirely upon the cotton crop for the necessaries of life, has gone from bad to worse, until the pi ice has fallen almost below the cost of production and actual want stares them in the face, j It is equally a recognized fact that ! the cotton growers of the South have for a long number of years beeu x between the devil and thefire-a prey to the unfetliug selfishness and robbery of gamblers and speculators iu futures aud the unfair and unjust system practiced by mill men iu taking advantage of the unfortunate predicament of the toiling and struggling tillers of the soil to enlarge their own bank accouuts and to in-1 crease their own revenues: aud to bring about a change iu the manner of marketing the crop and controling the price thereof themselves, was the aim and purpose of the convention Srftni-flav. We frankly codfess tbat just at tbis particular time we can not clearly see how this njuch desired eDd is to be accomplished other than by abandoning the tenant system and in diversity of crops. It may be possible tbat the teDaut system can be retained and made a means to tbis end by limiting the planting of cotton to a given number ofbalesto the acres. We cannot see how the repeal of the lien law will be of benefit to the cotton grower, as to destroy this basis of credit of the poor another basis which might prove far more obnoxious aud injurious to the land owner would probably follow. Look at the situation in any light and :from any standpoint you may it assumes a serious, and even an alarming aspect and a benefactor iudeed is he who can solve the problem to the benefit of our farming friends. We sincerely hope that some one will be able to do so at an early date. These men have the undivided sympathy, support and encouragement of the Dispatch in 4.UirrATinr fcUCli lJgui Ugaiuov 1. i .Ujuv..v., oppression and robbery and we hope them God speed in freeing agriculliite from the moral comorants who are feastiDg upon her energies and preying apon her vitals. Fiom information caught over the grape \ine telephone, persons entitled to draw a pension from the State, on account of disabilities received in the service of the State during the late war, are either indifferent in the matter or have become so rich that they do not need help from the State. At a meeting of the Township Board Leid Monday, there were ody two applicants for pensions notwithstanding that the law requires that persons to whom pensions have heretofore been granted must appear before the Board in tho township in which tbey reside as well as all newapplicants. There is evidently something wrong about the law and from hear say evidence there is entirely too much red tape proceedings which makes the enforcement of the law cumbersome iu the extreme and very extravagant. If the $100,000, appropriated by the State could be distributed aruong the persons in the several counties, to whose needy circumstances the State intended to contribute assistance, according to tbe number of soldiers enlisted from the county aud entrust the disburse menfc of this fund to some bonded officer without extra compensation, the good intention of the Legist.tore would be subserved and the needy pensioners better satisfied. The General Assembly of the State of South Caroliua has been iu regular session now for something over a week. Tbe concensous of opinion seems to be that tbe session will be remarkable only for its shortness, about the only matters demanding tbe serious attention of cur lawmakers beiDg the lien law and tinking with the dispensary law. The message of Gove; nor Kile; be, while not a brilliant paper, was an ' - ----able oue, treating the matters of ; State claiming the consideration of the Executive and Legislative department in a business way and a statesmanlike manner. We give tbe message in full in supplement form with ibis issue so that our readers can judge for themselves as to its merits. Since tbe session began the re ports show that Senator Griffith has introduced a bill fixing tbe time for tbe final adjournment of tbe Leg- ! islature, and Representative Etird i opposed tbe bill extending tbe time for pajiDg taxes without tbe penalty. About the most important work so far computed is tbe passage of the j tix extension bil', extending the time j for the payment of tixes to j February 20, which now needs only the signature of the Governor to become a law, the election of a j a Chief Justice and six Circuit Judges. Chief Justice Mclver was re elected, defeating Senator George S. Mower. Judge Benet was reelected Judge of the First CJircui ; James Aldricb of the Seooud; 0. W. Buchanan of tbe Third; It. 0. Watts of the Fouitb; James Klugh of the Fifrb. None of these gentlemen had no opposition. Judge Witherspcou, having declined to stand for re election as Judge of the Sixth Circuit, Hon. Geoi^e W. Gage of Chester, was elected. Mr. Patton's redisricting bill was ! i considered and killed. * * j !

I t The Growers Protective ' Association of Lexington county met I in the couit bouse tit this place last v Saturday, and at 11 o'clock was called * to order by G. A. Derrick, who called ? upon Dr. D. M. Crosson to fully explaiu the objects of the meeting, ' r wLich he did in a forceful manner | I clearly demonstrating that he had e given the subject much thought and j ( careful attention aud expressed bis ! 1 convictions with clearness and elo- j s quence. He discussed the cost of j s p'an'iug aud growing of cotton aud 1 1 showed 5 cents cotton was not very j t remunerative to the producer. He i \ spoke of the evils of gambling in t futures and how such a system was ; t pernicious in principle and injurious ! t to the interest of the farmer. He j \ urged the necessity of concerted and ' i united eflbits on the part of the ! f growers to break down the system of 1 gambling upou the products of labor I i aud to maintain a price for cotton i that would be fair and reasonable to'] the producer and consumer alike, i ? Having been a delegate from this 1 ?- . i i State to the Atlanta Convention aDa ) also to the one subsequently held at i I Mem phiJ, he had the opportunity of ! feeling the pulse of many delegates I 1 and of ascertaining the aims and ! purposes of the cotton growers whom i ; they represented, he was decidedly of the opinion that it was the pur- i pose of a large majoiity of the cotton growers of the South to organize : into a Protective Uuion for the purpose of looking after and protecting j Ibeir iuterest. Dr. Crossou was listened to with close attention and much ! interest. * * After the objects of the meeting i were explained the following delegates were enrolled: Folk?J. H. Couuts, Jacob W. I Dr< her, J. L Shuler.* Broad Fiver?Dr. J. W. Eargle, 0. j P. Clark, D. J. Haltiwauger. Saluda?D. I. Epting, J. C. Ful- \ mer, G. A. Derrick. Hollow Creek?W. B. Tavlor, J. | I Walter Dreher, G. Frank Keisler. | Gilbert Hollow?Dr. D. M. Cros- | j son, Cjpt. A. P. West, J. E. B. Mc| Cartha. Bluck Creek?J. Feaster Lyles. Cjngaree?S. I. ilook, A. v. aeno, i J. D. Seuu, Dr. J. W. Geiger. Sandy Run?X. B. Waunamaker, W. H. "Waunamaker, Dr. W. T. 1 Brooker.* j Lexiugtoo?John M. CaughmaD, Thomas L. Harm an, David Mathias. Those marked thus * were absent. The convention then proceeded to permanently organize by receiving nominations for President. G. A. Derrick was nominated, but i declined saying that he preferred ' that a more able and experienced man should preside over such -an j impoitaut body: that while he would | not shirk any duty which the conven j tion might devolve upon him, yet j be did not tbiuk that the interest of i the convention demanded of him the i acceptance of its presiding officer. ! His declination was not accepted by his friends. Dr. D. M. Crossou was then put in nomination by his friends. The | Doctor thought that some older j farmer should be elected. S. I Hook was then nominated, but positively declined to accept if j elected. I Dr. J. W. Eargle and X. B. Wani ? j namaker were appoiuted tellers and ! received the ballots and announced j that Dr. D. M. Crosson had been j elected. The other officers elected were as follows: j G. A. Denick- -1st Vice President. ^ i rt 1 X" _ _ Uapt. 1. n. uaugnmau?za \ ice President. X. B. Wauuawuker?Secretary. Col. D. T. Barr?Treasurer. A committee consisting of A. P. West, J. II. Cjunts, S. I. Hook and Dr. J. W. Ivirgle, was appointed to draft resolutions and articles of belief. The committee is to report at the next meeting. Jacob W. Dreber introduced a ! resolution endorsing Dr. Stokes' anti option bill and urgiug its pas- : sage by the Congress of the United States, which was unanimously adopted. G. A. Derrick submitted a resolution demanding tbe repeal of the lieu law to take effect January 1st j 1891). Capt. Counts, in seconding j tbe resolution made a few remarks j declaring that the law was a most j injurious oue to tho fanning inter- j ests and that of the State in general, j It encouraged extravagance and in- j ! dolenee aud was in a large measure | responsible fur the over production j of the staple. W. P. Taylor opposed the adoption ! of the resolution declaiing that if the j j law was repealed that the land j j owners would Lave to bf come respon- I ; sible for the debts of his tenants or j ! | the laud could not be rented ad- j j vantagcouslv. A vote being takeD } j the resolution was adopted. A. P. West moved to elect i de-legates to the State Cutton Grow- j ers' Protective Association. J. H. Counts moved an amend- j ment inukiug the number of delegates to be elected six. Iu speaking to the merits of the resolution, J. H. Conn s ! and J. IVttsb r Ljles became in ! volved iu an animated discussion. Capt. Lyles thought that it was | p.ivate legislation: that the conven- 1 ion should go slow and ft-el every nch of the ground over which it visaed so that the work accomplished j vould be of a permanent nature and j vould redown to the good of cotton j jrowei s. Maj. Counts said that any person ; lot in sympathy with the call hid do lusiness to participate in the delibTatious of the convention, to which - apt. Lyles retorted that resolutions lad been passed on a former occasion by Democrats pledging them ielves not to hire Republican negroes >ut had Dot been carried oul. Among first who violated the pledge vere some who agreed to the resoluion. Capt. L)les was not fairly reated by members of the conveuioc and the treatment he received i ii. . i l -t :i vas, 10 say tue least ui n, uu^aiiianectary as he was given no oppor;unity to fully aud clearly explain ris position; but the matter was f? .rally settled by the adoption of the resolution, and Dr. D. M. Crossou, N. 13. Wannamaker, J. Brooks "Wingard. J. H. Counte, S. I. Hook aud J. Walter Dreher elected delegates. J. H. Counts moved that it was the sense of this convention that only 10 acres to the plow should be planted in cotton. Jacob W. Dreher opposed its adoption, and during his remarks declared that the over production of cotton was not the only ill from which the farmers suffered. That without a radical reform of the financial system of the country and the adoption of the double standard, a reduction of the cotton acreage would % i fir i l.ii nave no appreciate tneci in ueuer iug the condition of the farmer. Along this line be spoke at some length aud entertained the convention with his views upon the money question. In the midst of his remarks, Dr. Crossou announced that important business, which could not be delayed, demanded his immediate presence at home and asked the convention to excuse him from further attendence. G. A. Derrick then took the chair ! and presided over the convention for the remainder of the session. The dicussion being resumed, J. H. Counts said that ho believed in diversified farming; that by personal experiments he knew that the farm could be made self sustaining and that rice and other farm supplies paid him better than 5 cents cotton and he found it to be a good thiDgand wanted his fellow farmers to experience some of the benefits arising from a diversity of crops. The motion failed for the want of a second. T "D -r./Nlrn r?i Aro/I f haf thp O - XJ1.

For the last year or more two well, known members of the Marquette Ciub, men in high feather everywhere i among the local Four Hundred, have . been calling on the same girl. They ( paid her assiduous attention, took her to the theatre, one as often as the other, and kept her acquaintances i guessing as to which one she would choose for her matrimonial partner. Two months ago the engagement was announced to one of the two, and | the wedding will be oue of the fasbi ionable functions of the ear lySpi iug. The youDg man who came out of the little end of the bom has no hard feelings, for he says it was an open race for the prize, and each stood a chance to win it. It was only a week or two before the announcement of the engagement that Beau No. 2 was noticed to have withdrawn from the contest for the fair one's Land. Being a good natured fellow he is not averse to telling the story of how he found out that his suit was hopeless. The young woman iu question has a bright, enteituiuiug little brother, of whom both the beaux were ex cccdingly fond, and who was very much devoted to butli of them. (.) je evening the object of their affection was imstairs dressing, while the cast A ?-? 7 off mau was down in the pailor having a friendly chat wiili the youngster. "Tommy," lie said, "do you like me.'" " Deed, 'deed, I d<_!" 4 Do you think your sister cares for tue?" "I think she doe?: but I'd rather j bet my money on the other fellow!" | "What other fellow?" (Well know j ing what was coming.) "Oh, you know!?Mr. X " "What makes you think that she likes him better than she does me?" j Did she tell you so.'" "No, but mama said for me to keep away from the parlor eveiy time Mr. X. called on sis." The young mm took the hint. Next day Tommy got a five-pound j box of candy from an unknown source. Mr. X's rival thus ex pi essed his appreciation of little Tommy's sei vice. Cotton, ! like every other crop, needs j I nourishment.
