To the Editor of the Dispatch: I desire space in your paper to call nitAn + inn o niafi^p ?f OTflftt imoor vu U Vf- r taDce to the farmers of your community. Professor "W. J. Spillman, of the United States Agricultural Department, will address the farmers of the county in the court house on the 15th day of March, in accordance with arrangements heretofore made. He wishes to meet the progressive farmers of the county?those who are willing to cooperate with the government in conducting certain experiments with grasses and forage plants. The end and aim of the visit is to find a Derennial suitable to our IT ~ climate. We now have valuable forage crops but they require too much planting. In addition to delivering a lecture on grasses and forage crops, he will give out a number of seeds of all kind, adaptable to Southern soils and climate, to those who will give them a careful test and report the result of the experiment. To these he will give thorough instructions as to planting, cultivating and harvesting, furnishing them with very valuable literature, the work of able experts. Prnfoaonr Snillman is a verv able and earnest gentlemaa, and I am sure his visit to the county will be of immense value to the farmers. The government is ready to help us if we show our willingness to be helped by the support and interest shown by us in these meetings called for our es pecial benefit. The government has gone to the expense of getting a large quantity of grass seed, velvet beans, Florida beggar weeds, alfalfa and choice varieties of peas, also a large number of valuable bulletins for distribution at these meetings. It has also sent its most efficient expert along these lines to address our people; and I do most sincerely trust that they will evidence their appreciation and interest by giving a large attendance. Every progressive farmer in the * * *? iV . ? J j county, wno nas learned me sau aiiu disastrous lesson of one cropism, or who is at all interested in diversified farming, should lend his active support to Prof. Spillman. It is a great opportunity for the farmer, this being the first attempt in this direction ever made in this State. A day spent in attendance upon this occasion will be profitably used. The department 6tands willing to aid us if we will meet it on half way ground. From reports received from different repre sentives men of your county, I anticipate a large attendance will meet Professor Spillman, ready to join him in the woik of finding new forage crops and improving old ones. Very respectfully, A. F. Lever. Washington, D. C., March 5, 1802 . Ballentine Doings. To the Editor of the Dispatch: The weather reminds us that March has come. The couple of warm days of last week has caused what few oats that did not freeze out and the wheat to color up nicely, which our farmers are glad to see.

OODS COMP ZN\ JE., E-Aatronage. Polite an( Purged of Contempt. "Washington, Feb. 28?By a vote : 52 to 12 the Senate today adopted resolution censuring Senators Tilltan and McLaurin and declaring le resolution of contempt no longer i effect. Daring the roll call when the ame of Tillman was called he arose ad said, with a face red with anger: Mr. President, among gentlemen an pology for an offense committed un er the heat of blood is usually condered sufficient." I Mr. Keen thereupon exclaimed Mr. President, a3 to the Senator from outh Carolina has again insulted le Senate, I change my vote from ye to nay." For a moment there appeared tc e danger of a stampede and a repeuingof the whole matter. Tillman then said: "If my words ere offensive they were not intendd to be, so I withdraw them." Mr. Piatt of Conneticut said he ad voted under protest and he dered that fact to be known after Tilltan's unworthy exhibition. Mr. Burrows, the chairman of the 3mmittee on privileges and elections iad the report of the committee. He iid he was ordered by the committe ) report the action which should be iken by the Senate in regard to the latter, including the fallowing resoition: "Resolved, that it is the judgment I the Senate that the senators from outh Carolina (Tillman and McLau n), for disorderly behavior aod fl*TTt/-vlof?/in n-f fVia rnlPH nf thf LaiiU Tiuicibiv/U Vi vuv * v.ww ^ eDate during the open session of le Senate of February 22, deserve le censure of the Senate and are ereby so censured for their breach f the privileges and dignity of this ody, and from and after the adopon of this resolution the order adldging them to be in contempt nail be no longer in force and Efect." Mr. McLaurin, the report sajs, id not commence the encounter, but smained at his desk and resisted ae attack made on him. In other ords his offense was confined to his nnofliamonhrv 1 OT? OrllftCTfi fnr uyai iioujv.uvi.jj ?"o fc> e had unusual provocation. In the 186 of Tillman, the altercation was egun by him. He not only made s aargo without any proposal for ar lvestigation, but he disclaimed all nowledge of any evidence to estabsh it. Mr. Bailey presented the views oi ie minorty of the committee, signed y himself and Senators Pettus, Uackburn, Dubois and Foster. Il i88ents from so much of the ma>rity report as asserts the p wer oi le Senate to suspend a Senator and iu8 deprive a State of its vote, and cm so much of it as describes the (Tenses of the two Senators as oi liferent gravity, but approves the ?st of the report. 'The views of the licority as presented by McUomas, ad signed by him and Senators everidge and Pritckaid were also jad. It suggests that the punishleut of McLaurin be suspension for ve days and that of Tillman suspenon for 21 days. Senator Pritchard Ids to the views of the minority an 33ervation that in hi3 opinion the unishment already suffered by Mr: [cLaurin is adequate to' his offense. P. C. I. Notes.

Thft following are some of the reasons why the people of the State sboold visit the Exposition on that day: Firs!:It is a South Carolina Exposition in which the State and the people are vitally interested, as it presents . to the people of the country at large for the first time the great possibilities of South Carolina, both as a manufacturing and agricultural State. Second:The State has a building at the FrnnsiHnn in tvhinh are exhibited the Industries and Resources of South Carolina. Many of the people do not realize the magnitude of the possibilities that art within our borders. Go then and see them and you will profit by the trip in many ways. Third:- / In the Cotton Palace, Commerce, Minerals and Forestry, Machinery and Electricity, and West Indian Buildings will be seen many exhibits tbat will justiiy tne trip, i Fourtb:To those who have never seen the ! Exhibits of the United States Govem| ment seeing them alone is worth I more than the cost of the trip. | Fifth:The Exhibits in the Woman's Building will be of interest to every woman in South Carolina, the display is far superior to the woman's work at any other Exposition. Siitb:Wben yon have seen all the Exhibits of interest, the Midway offers its ana ruuuus, wuere jou uaa speuu as much time in pleasure as you desire. SeventL:The people of Charleston desires you to see the Exposition, to see from your own observation that they projected the Exposition in your interest, as well as theirs, and that we should be again united as one people. Eightb:The railroad ra'.es are very low, and accommodations for all can be secured in Charleston at reasonable rates. Those wishing to engage rooms and board in advance will be accommodated by corresponding with Mrs. A. H. Clancy, Manager Exposition Information Bureau, 217 Meet I ing street, Coarleston, S. C.
