Torroll, in his ad dresses throughout tho State, lias uniformly advised tho farmors to hold their cotton until thoy cnn get thoir prices and mako a'reasonable profit on thoir labor and investment in the cultivation of thoir crops. Wo bolievo tho farmers should hrtvo a higher prico for their cotton, and to sccuro this end, in the first placo, thoro must bo concort of action. Without this but littlo can bo ac complished in this vital matter. Would not tho polioy of less cot ton and moro corn be thc wiso ono for tho farmers to adopt ? Ry rais ing less cotton they could grow moro corn and small grain, thus making their own meat and bread at home. With less cotton tho prico would ne cessarily bo higher, and combination and salo through the Allianco would onablo tho farmors to obtain a roa sonable price for tho amount raised. Make cotton thc surplus crop, in stead of the main one, as now. Thc 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 make every thing needed on tho farm, and can livo tho whole yoar round on the produco of thoir 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 tho wicked trusts and combines. This is the goal for which tho farmers and their friends aro striving ; to roach it Is the design of the powerful organiza tion known as the Farmers' Allianco. It scorns to us that by concert of action, which can bo readily dis cussed and agreed on in the many sub-Alliances, the farmers can regu lato thc acreago to bc planted in cot ton throughout thc Southern States. Thoy can also regulate tho salo at snob time and prico ns will suit them when they have sufficient of other crops to make them independent of tho cotton crop. But until this is done, no amount of buncombe stump speeches can better thc farmers' con dition in this respect. It is an in tensely practical question, reaching oven to tho necessities of life. Therefore it must bo dealt with in a practical way. Tho World's Fair of 1802. The proposed World's Fair, to be held in 1892, is in celebration of the landing of Columbus and the 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 ehiofly it will bo an exposition of thc arts and industries of the United States; of the pro ductive resources and power of tho country ; of the force and energy of our people. Tho location will be determined by Congress during thc next session, but in advance it is important that tho question should bo considered and canvassed in tho minds of the people. Thc claims of four cities for tho location of thc Fair aro now being considered-New York, Wash ington, Chicago and St. Louis-and one of thom will certainly be se lected. To the South and Sout h wost, wc bolievo the selection of St. Louis will bo attended with special and weighty advantages. This city is more fairly and fully representative of Southern trade, industries and population than any of thc other cities. Again, thc position of tho city is more central and convenient for tho groat body of the people of the whole country. When wc consider tho necessity for a central location, in order to meet thc demands of all sections of tho country, St. Louis offers many pe culiar advantages, lt is said to bc a fact, based upon public statistics, that a larger population and a far grentor mileage of railroad exists within a circle of five hundred miles of this city than any othor in thc United States. And, in Addition, it has thc ad van Iago of tho Mississippi and Missouri Rivers. Another special benefit accruing to tho South from the selection of St. Lottie, is tho fact that it will bring a largo body of visitors from abroad to Southern cities and terri tory. Visitors from foreign lands will travel through tho States and become, to soino extent, familiar with our industries and opportuni ties for investment. It will be the greatest historical opportunity possi ble to conceive of for displaying tho fruits of Southern soil ana Southern art and labor. Tliercforo wo arc in favor of St. Louis being selected ns tho place for tho World'? Fair, in 1892, first, last and all the timo. Our Oak way Corrospoiiuoueo. OAKWAY, S. O., Soptombor 28, 1889.

DEAR COURIER : Our farmers aro through foddering and ready to com mence picking cotton, as the warm mid dry weather is beginning to tnako tho Hooey staplo open very fast The farmers aro in good spirits, is tho cotton crop bids fair to make t good yield. Our Allianco 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 Lo bc an entire success and a better lay for the farmers is near at hand. Thc school at this place is out and wo hope soon to bo able to procure the services of a proficient teacher. Tho South Union Sunday School is prospering under thc pr?sent c?li ?ient otlicors, but wo arc sorry lo learn that, wc will lose our superin tendent, Mr. A. 1*. Maret, who is .?oing to move near Fair Play, We ilso learn that the assistant superin tendent, Mr. J. W. Harris, is soon to ojo to Mercer University, at Macon, ?a. Wo arc glad to learn that ho is ?oing there to study for the mitdstr Wo wish him great success. We hope to secure the services of other officers who will carry on our school successfully. Miss Kate Bullock, an accom plished young lady from Greenwood, Abbeville county, has been leaching n music class of twelve students in i our vicinity. Wc learn that sim has lieen very successful and has given en tire satisfaction. Wc arc very sorry indeed 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 tho realities of a married life in tho near future. Such is life. Let the good work go on. o. II. The world's visible supply of cot ton is 918,9f>4 bales. Thc newspapers, whioh never lie, say that Col. E. T. Stackhousc, of Marion, and Gov. J. P. Richardson, of Clarendon, will contest, tho 1th Congressional seat with lion. G. W. Dargan at Ibo ensuing election. Thc Democrats of Iowa, at their State convention, put a strong tariff reform plank in their platform and sheered thc name of Grover Cleve land enthusiastically. In doing so they only conformed to what appears to bc now an unwritten law recog nized by all Democrats when in con tention assembled. They also pro nounced in favor of tho Australian ballot system. Tariff-reform and jallot reform arc fit companions. The Kev. Edward Wilson, a col ired clergyman, while attending thc nceting of an association of Baptists n Decatur, III., last week, entered .coins of a prominent confectionery inn and asked to be served with ice ?.roam, but was refused solely on ac count of his color. He caused the irrest of the confectioners, and will ry to secure their punishment under he laws of the Stato, Wc read about a million bushels >f wheat, but few people realize vhat a vast amount it is. But if a nillion bushels of wheat were loaded m freight cars, 600 bushels to thc ?ar, it would fill a train fifteen miles cmg. If transported by wagons, thc inc of teams would bc 142 miles ong. And yet we consume and ox? )ort more than 400,000,000 bushels ?f wheat annually. Mooting ul County AlHaucc. . Thc Oconoo County Alllanco will moot at Oakwrty, Friday, Ootobor 4th, ut ton o'clock, A.

No Treasury in the world ever contained so vast a sum of money, masts the San Fransisco Chronicle, \H that of thc United States. The ast statement shows that there is in lie Treasury vaults over six hun Ired millions in gold and silver coin md bullion. Of gold coin and bill ion thc amount is $808,604,818; sil /or coin and bullion, $816,848,180, \iy the side of this vast accumulation he treasuries of other countries, and hose recorded in history, sink into nsiguifi canco.

A number of houses woro crushed like egg shells. Twenty-four per sons woro killed and many woundod. There was a land-slide, destructive to lifo and property, at the same placo many yoars ago. <?? ? Thos. T. Jackson wus killed in n prizo fight at St. Louis recently.

Ho was a loader of tho Knights of Labor in tho cot ton mill strikos. It is always a bad sign to see a minister of any denomi nation dabble in political questions. He will como out of thc contest with drooping, dirty feathers'. A Pittsburg physician says tho al leged exhilarating effects of Dr. Brown-Sequard's elixir is imaginary, and ho declares that an injection of whiskey would produce effects cqual I ly satisfactory. It ia pretty sato to wager that if the Pittsburg doctor experiments with whiskey, instoad o'.; essence of dog or lamb, he will havo 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 cars : Start tho new session on a religious line from tho 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 Vertier bas just returned from a trip which took in tho whole length of thc State from Walhalla to Beaufort, and reports tho crops everywhere ns looking fine and thc prospect of good returns to thc farmers excellent. General Ver nor states that on thc rico planta tion of tho Hon. 0. J. C. Unison, oil the Port Boyal Railroad, which comprises between -100 and 600 acres, thc crop will average fifty bushels of rico to tho acre.- Columbia Register. Estimates assume thc population of the country for 1 10 to oe pro spectively 64,452,807. An analysis of these ligures shows that tho New England States will have in 1890 4,521,121 inhabitants, an increase of 12 per cent j thc middle and West ern States of the Northern tier, 82, 213,251, an increase of 29^ per cent; thc extreme Western States and Pa cific Slope, 1,315,215, nil increase of 111 percent; and the 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 2S? per cent. Brains 1 To bc a successful farmer you must have brains. "Aha," you say, "I have brains!" Admitted; then why don't you usc. them ? You have brains and you allow them to lie idle. Foolish mani You wonder that you aro 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 does the longest day's work, but thc one that performs his day's labor most intelligently. Which way arc you working? -..?..? WORSE THAN "Pins IN CLOVER." -The 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 thc planter will bo allowed eight pounds on each bale covered with cotton ; another says they will take sixteen pounds off; another says it will bo 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 he cares, in tho moan time, tho fi.nner would like to know how the cat is going to jump after the 1st of October.- Thotnasville ( Qa,) News. The people of the United States certainly ?cern to be growing rich at an enormous rate. In 1850 tho property returned for taxation was valued at only $7,000,000,000. In 1800 it ha<T increased to *1 0,000,000, 000. In 1870, in spite of thc disas trous effects of the war upon n large section of tho country, it was $30, 000,000,000. Tho 00118U8 of 1880 put it nt $48,000,000,000. Now the 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 tho wealth-producing capacity of this country, and for the industry and thrift ot tho American people. We may bo given to a rush in the race for wealth ; wc may bo more fond of speculation than of tho or dinary modes of making money, but we have somehow made a substan tial progress that is calculated to Lixcitc the wonder not only of our friends across tho waler, hut of our selves ns wei), Locals.
