Ovor tho areas of deficient rainfall, crops aro not making satisfactory growth, but ovor tho Eastern portion of tho Stato generally, thoy are up to, or above, thoir average condition on July lat, and aro generally very promising. Worms cont inuo to destroy corn ; hud worms to injure tobacco, and caterpillars to devastate rico; while lico on cotton havo appeared at various points. Cotton continues to mako seasonable growth and ls blooming and fruiting freoly, with no reports of shedding. Tho plants aro gonorally undersized, hut vig orous and hoalthy. Tho nights havo boon too cool latterly for tho best devel opment of sea-island cotton.

Tobacco varies greatly in condition, with many reports of Injury by bud worms. In places tho need of rain is urgent. Cutting and curing is as yot making slow progress, although some inferior grades havo boon sold in opon market. Dato reports on wheat confirm earlier estimate" of small yields. Tho samo is true of spring sown oats. Tho bulk of tho rice crop is very prom ising, but caterpillars continue to tie v?s tate late plantings, and frosh water for flooding is not available in places.

SKNKOA, July 4.-Tho Glorious Fourth of July, with all its suggestions, in upon us. Tho Allianeomou, their wives, their sons, their daughtors, UIOBO who aro not connected vit Ii tho Alliance, those from tho couutrv, those from the towns, havo throngod tho hoautlful, natural audito rium South of tho dopot during tho day. Tho occasion was tho piouio aud barbe cue glvou by tho Farmers' Alliauco. Several spoakors occupied tho morning hours. A Btaud had boon orootod ami decorated with tho national rod, white and blue, and with grains. On tho front of tho stand was an inscription, "Kqual rights to all, special prlvilogoH to nono" -tho motto of tho Alliance. Tho first speaker was lion. J. lt. Blako, who disousBcd tho work of tho Alliance, showing tho farmers how to "loud a holping hand." Hon. J. C. Wolborn, President of tho S tato Alliauco, noxt made an address, having ns his subject "Alliance accom plishments," tolling of tho wonderful work which has boon accomplished by this organization. During his talk bo took occasion to men t ion n visit ho had onoo ninda to a Farmors' Instituto, hold at thu Court House at Walhalla, and stated that novor. although ho had vis itod tho halla of Congross, tho Stato Leg islature, thc I>apt'3t Convention, the Methodist Conforoncos, tho Presbytery and Synod of the Presbyterians, lind ho soon parliamentary law moro olosoly adhered to. Hon. A. C. Lntimor thou addressed tho people, and tho Third Congressional District's Representativo made au ablo and appr?ciai cd speech. His advice to tho farmers wns oxcollont. Among other things ho aovised thom to raise loss cotton mid plant their waste lands in grnsBOS, Horm lida, and othor kinds, and lam stock into thom. Hon. Thomas li. Watson, who was ex pected, was not present, and tho noxt jdace on tho -programmo was lilied by Congressman Tolbort, cf tho Second District. His speech contained much humor and wns well onjoyod. Tho peoplo had waited patiently, though engorlv, for Hon. ll. It. Tillman's appeal ance, Ho occupied tho last placo on tho programmo and commenced his speech by saying that tho peoplo had boen listening to speeches of oloquouco, wisdom and wit for th roo solid hours, and now that thoy wore hot and hungry ho thought it an injustice to himself that ho should bo put up at this limo, llow ovor, tho peoplo dosirod to hoar Tillman, and despite lieut and hunger, remained to do so. Tho subject assigned him was "National Conditions and Tendencies," and was briin-ful of his anti oxpansion belief. Ho spoko of tho metropolitan newspapers, their effect upon politics, ol corporations, which, ho said, paid brainy men to edit thom. Tho corporations and trusts ho condemned at length. As a general thing Congressmen represent, not tho masses, but tho CICSBOS; thoy aro run by tho corporations, white this country used to bo tho truo ombodiniont of freedom, its citizens aro no longer freo men. His words with regard to tho Philippines v oro tolling. His laconic question, "What dowe want with tho Philippines?" carried with lt tho convic tion that tho United States would bo hotter oil without than with them. In speaking of tho war ho said: "Who will pay for it? Tho tax-payers. Who will reap tho bono A ts? Mark lianna md tho othorsof his class." Ho told of tho help lessness of a representativo from the South to accomplish anything at Wash ington. Tho money question was touched upon, and tho Senator urged tho peoplo to voto tor such representatives at tho noxt nominating convention for Presi dential candidates as would support Wm. J. Bryan. Senator Tillman intimated that ho himself would not object to re taining his scat in tho United Slates Senate. Whatever ono's political prejudices, the speech of Senator Tillman could not but provo interesting. At tho conclusion of this speech tho big picnic and barbceno woro enjoyed within tho onclosuro, just below tho grand stand, and here several of tho dis tinguished speakers made talks. The colored band from Walhalla fur nished music during tho day. Altogothor tho occasion was ono of Success, upon which t ho members of tho Alliance may congratulate themselves.
