Columbia, July 30.?At the last session of the State Farmers' Union two very important resolutions were adopted. Both of the resolutions were introduced by Dr. J. H.

The other w as: 4 'That a committee of three be appointed to meet and formulate plans for financing the cotfrnn f>rnn " thA nnmmittflrt hpin^ an thorized to confer with any capitalist looking to perfecting these pians. This last met with some opposition, but it was finally carried by a large majority. At 12 o'clock the Convention adjourned without a day. No time and place was set for the next annual meeting, as this matter is in the h^nd9 of the executive committee. Greenville County extended an invitation. Big; Bally Saturday.
