Terrell, in his ad dresses throughout the State, has uniformly advised tho farmers to hold their cotton until they can get thoir prices and make a ' reasonable profit on thoir labor and investment in the cultivation of thoir crops. Wo believe tho farmers should hrfvo a higher price for their cotton, and to secure this end, in tho first placo, thero must bo concert of action. Without this but littlo can ho ac complished in this vital matter. Would not tho polioy of less cot ton and moro corn he tho wiso ono 'for tho farmers to adopt? By rais ing loss cotton they could grow more corn and small grain, thus making thoir own meat and bread at home. With less cotton tho price would ne cessarily bo higher, and combination and salo through thc Allianco would enable tho farmer? to obtain a rea sonable price for the amount raised. Make cotton tho surplus Crop, in stead of thc main one, as now. The price will continuo to bo regulated by tho law of supply and demand, and will necessarily then bo higher. Our farmers never will bo entirely independent of trusts, combines and monopolies, until they mako every thing needed on the farm, and can live the whole year round on tho produco of their own fields. When this is accomplished, they can stand up in their manhood and indepen dence, and bid bold defiance to all tho wily machinations of thc wicked trusts and combines. This is the goal for which the farmers and their friends ax*e striving ; to reach it is the design of the powerful organiza tion known as thc Farmers' Alliance. It scorns to us that by concert of action, which can bo rear v dis cussed and agreed on in thu many sub-Alliances, thc farmers can regu lato tho acreage to bc planted in cot ton throughout thc Southern States. They can also regulate thc sale at such time and price as will suit them When thoy have sufficient of other crops to make them independent of tho cotton croj). But until this is done, no amount of buncombe stum]) speeches can better thc farmers' con dition in this respect, It is an in tensely practical question, reaching even to the necessities of life. Therefore it must ho dealt with in a practical way. Tho World's Fair of 1892. Thc proposed World's Fair, to be held in 1802, is in celebration of the landing of Columbus and thc dis covery of America. This exposition will undoubtedly be the most exten sive and magnificent industrial dis play of modern times-a grand in ternational gathering, representative of all nations-an exhibition of the world's progress and industrial pro ductions. But chiefly it will bc an exposition of thc arts and industries of the United Slates; of thc pro ductive resources and power of the country; of thc force and energy of our people. Tho location will be determined by Congress during tho next session, but in advance it is important that tho question should bc considered and canvassed in tho minds of the people. Thc claims of four cities for the location of tho Fair aro now being considered-New York, Wash ington, Chicago and St. Louis-and one of them will certainly bo se lected. To tho South and Southwest, wo belicvo the selection of St. Louis will bc attended with special and weighty advantages. This city is more fairly and fully repr?sentative of Southern trade, industries and population than any of the other cities. Again, tho position of tho city is more central and convenient for the great body of tho people of the whole country. When WO consider tho ncccf ty for a central location, in order to meet tho demands of all sections of tho country, St. Louis offers many pe culiar advantages. It is said lo bc a fact, based upon public statistics, that a larger population and a far greater mileage of railroad exists within a circle of five hundred miles of this city than any other in thc United Stales. And, in addition, it has thc advantago of the Mississippi and Missouri Bi vers. Another special benefit accruing to tho South from the selection of St. Louis, is tho fact that it will bring a large body of visitors from abroad to Southern cities and terri tory. Visitors from foreign lands will tl"iv?l through tho States and become, to some extent, familiar with our industries and opportuni ties for investment. It will bo the {jroatest historical opportunity possi ble to concoivo of for displaying thc fruits of Southern soil and Southern art and labor. Therefore wo arc in favor of St. Louis hoing soleotcd as tho placo for the World's Fair, in 1802, first, last and all tho time. Our Oak way (torresy valence* OAKWAY, S.O., Soptombor 28, 1880.

Cotton comes in slowly and the farmers seem to bc somewhat di vided on the question as to whether they will sell now or hold for higher prices. K. Dots from Tugaloo. TuGALOO, S.

DKAU COUBIKU : Our farmers aro through foddering and ready to com mence picking cotton, as the warm and dry weather is beginning to miiko tho fleecy staple open very fast The farmers aro in good spirits, as tho cotton crop hals fair to make a good yield. Our Alliance met on the 21st in stant, and it is on a boom, as a num ber of young ladies were initiated. We believe that tho order is going to he an entire success and a bettor day for the farmers is near at hand. The school at this place \a out and wo hope soon to be able to procure the services of a proficient teacher. Tho South Union Sunday School is prospering under the present elli cient ofiicers, but wo arc sorry to learn that we will lose our superin tendent, Mr. A. 1*.

Wo are glad to learn that ho is going there, to study for the ministry. Wi wish him groat success. We }?o(n; to secure the services of other ofiicers who will carry on our school successfully. Miss Kate Pollock, an accom plished young lady from Greenwood, Abbeville county, bas been teaching a music class of twelve students in our vicinity. We learn that she has been very successful and has given en tire satisfaction. Wc are very sorry indftCd that her stay has been so brief. She has made quite a number of friends in our neighborhood. Wc hear it noised abroad that se veral of our young people anticipate onjoying the realities of a married life in tho near future. Snob is life, Let tho good work go on. <;. II. Tho world's visible supply of cot ton is 018,95-1 bales. Thc newspapers, which never lio, say that Col. E. T. Stackhouso, ol Marion, and Gov. J. V.

The Democrats of Iowa, at their State convention, put a strong tariff reform plank in their platform and cheered the name of Grover Cleve land enthusiastically. In doing so they only conformed to what appears to be now an unwritten law recog nized by all Democrats when in con vention assembled. They also pro nounced in favor of thc Australian ballot system. Tariff-reform and ballot reform are lit companions. Thc Rev. Edward Wilson, a col ored clergyman, while attending thc meeting ot an association of Baptists In Decatur, 111., last week, entered rooms of a prominent confectionery firm and asked to be served with icc cream, but was refused solely on ac count of his color. Ho caused thc arrest of the confectioners, and will try to secure their punishment under thc laws of tho State, We road about a million bushels of wheat, but few people realize what a vast amount it is. But if a million bushels of wheat were loaded on freight ears, 500 bushels to the car, it would fill a train fifteen miles long. If transported by wagons, the line of teams would be 142 milos long. And yet wo consume and ex port more than 400,000,01)0 bushels of wheat annually. Mooting of County AU I unco. . Tho Ooon?o County Alliance will moot at Oakwny, Friday, Ootobor 4th, at ton o'clock, A.

One by one the railroads art' passing under the con tr'ol of one great system, the Rich mond and Danville, in the South. Xo Treasury in the world over contained so vast a sum of money, ! boasts tho San Fransisco Chronicle, I as that of thc United States. The last statement shows that there is in thc Treasury vaults over six hun dred millions in gold and silver coin and bullion. Of gold coin and bul? i lion the amount is $808,004,818; sil i vcr coin and bullion, $315,313,180. I By the side of this vast accumulation the treasuries of other countries, and ? thone recorded in history, sink into insignificance, Tho Texas negroes, according to statistics produced at tho recent Waco Convention, now own about a million acres of land, and pay taxes on $20,000,000 <>. property. They have 2)000 churches, as many Sun day-schools and benevolent associa tions, lt) high schools, 2,f>00 common schools, 8,000 lonelier*} and 186,000 children at school. They number 23 doctors, 25 lawyers, 190 merchants, "hundreds" of fanners and stockmen, and "several" inventors. They havo also fifteen newspapers edited by in6n of their own race.

Thora was s great land-slide at Quobeo, Canada, on tho 19th instant. 1A number of houses wero orusb^d liko egg shelis. Twenty-four per sons woro killed nnd many wounded. There was a land-slide, destructive to lifo and proporty, at tho same placo many years ago. Tlvos. T. Jackson was killed in a prize light at St. Louis recontly. Abeam, tho surviving principal, was bold without bail to answer to tho Ci.argo of murder, while the roforee, seconds and time kcopors wero held as accessories and abettors.

I Io was a loader of tho Knights ?>f Labor in tho cot ton mill Btnkes. It is always a bad sign to see a minister of any denomi nation dabble in political questions. Ho will como out of the contest with drooping, dirty feathers'. A Pittsburg physician says the al leged exhilarating effects of Dr. Brown-Sequard's elixir is imaginary, and he declares that an injection of whiskey would produce effects equal ly satisfactory. It is pretty safe to wager that if thc Pittsburg doctor experiments with whiskey, instead of essence of dog or lamb, he will have more patients in ono day than Brown-Sequard will have in a month. If the honored brethren and sis ters who manage our Christian schools will take a respectful sugges tion from one who defers to their superior learning and wisdom, wo would whisper this in their ears : Start thc new session on a religious line from the first day, and kee}) il. Great interests aro involved, and great fidelity is demanded of you, ye instructors and guardians of our children.- Christian Advocate. Comptroller General Veiner has just returned from a trip which took in the wdiolc length of tue State from Walhalla to Beaufort, and reports the crops everywhere as looking lino and tho prospect of good returns to the farmers excellent. General Ver lier states that on the rice planta tion of tho Hon. C. J. C. Hutson, on the Port Royal Railroad, which comprises between 100 and 500 acres, the crop will average li fty bushels of rice to thc aero.- Columbia Jicf/istcr. Estimates assume tho population of thc country for 1890 to bc pro spectively 64,462,807. Au analysis of these figures shows that thc New England States will have in 1890 4,521,121 inhabitants, an increase of 12 por Cont; tho*middle and West ern States of the Northern tier, 82, 2-13,251, an increase of 29? per cent; the extreme Western States and Pa cific Slope, 4,816,246, an ihorcaso of 111 percent; and thc Southern, in cluding all of the old slave States, 23,075,857, an increase of 27 per cent, showing a total increase for the country of 28-.J- per cent. Brains! To bc a successful farmer you must have brains. "Alia," you say, "I have brains!" Admitted; then why don't you use them ? You have brains and you allow them to lie idle Foolish man! You wonder that you arc unsuccessful, and be rate your calling. Do you wish suc cess within your grasp? Then read, study, think. Don't get behind thc times. Live in to-day-not yester day. Put a pin in this. The most successful farmer is not thc one who docs tho longest day's work, but thc one that performs his day's labor most intelligently. Which way are you working? WOKSK THAN "P?OS IX CI.OVKR" -Tho cotton tare problem, as laid down by the convention of cotton exchanges at New Orleans, is worse than the fifteen puzzle or thc pigs in clover. Several parties have turned prematurely gray trying to solve it. No two agree. One man says thu planter will bo allowed eight pounds on each bale covered with cotton ; another says they will take sixteen pounds off; another says it will bc sold the same as cotton covered with jute; another says it's no such a thing ; another says nobody under stands it, and another says he will be hanged if lie ?'arcs. In thc mean time, tho farmer would like to know how thc cat is going to jump after the 1st of October.- T/tomasville {Ga.) News. Thu people of the United Slates certainly seem to bc growing rich at an enormous rate. In 1850 the property returned for taxation was valued at only ?7,000,000,000. In 1800 it had increased to * 10,000,000, 000. In 1870, in spite of the disas trous effects of thc war Upon a large section of the country, it was ?30, 000,000,000. Tho census of 1880 ut it at ?43,000,000,000. Now thc estimate is ?55,000,000,000, while it is expected that the next census will show up much larger ligures. Those statements speak very strongly for thc wealth-producing capacity of this country, and for thc industry and thrift of tho American people. Wc may bc given to a rush in the race for wealth ; wc may im more fond of speculation than of thc or dinary modes of making money, but wo have somehow made a substan tial progress that is calculated to excite the wonder not only of our friends across thc water, hut of our selves ns wei), Locals.
