Editors: As the undersigned bas huon on a trip Wost in attendauoo on tho National Farmers' Uuion, 1 thought it might be of interest to your readers to boar something of what 1 saw aud heard whilo 1 was gouo. I left Seneca at 3 o'clock on the morn ing of Suptomhor 3d aud arrived iu Tex arkana at G o'clock of the morning of .September 5th. There I found a good delegation of Uuion men. After the first day we openod our session at 7.30 a. m. and closed at ll p. m. So yuu soo that wo went to work in farmer style. Wo had au interesting meeting. There were about 300 delegates present aud it seemed that the groat majority of them carno for business. The South Carolina delegates wore ou one ur another of the important committees. The writer of this communication was ou tho minimum prico committee, and right hero I want to say that 1 was greatly disappointed in the bumper crop of Northern Louisiana and Kastei n Texas. They had Hue ero ps up to tho llrst of August; but alas! ns is so often thu case, the bright prospects of tho farmer were blighted. As an illus tration, ono mau, a big farmer on Ked river, has a Hold of 600 acros in cotton that will average six foot high. Ho ex pected from ouo and a half to two bales to the aero, since that time tho rain, the boll weevil and boll worm have ruined his bright hopes. Ho says now if begets a fourth of a halo to tho acre is as much as ho expects. With two exceptions tho cotton crop reports woro short. Ouo from Missouri and ono from Arkansas report a balo por acre, if a late fall; but they had not picked any. Southoru Texas baa nearly pDished catherine and Bolliug aud are now turniug her cottou laud to destroy tho boll woovil. 1 saw thousands of acres of cotton in Alabama and Mississippi that look like it will take six acres to make a bale. Then we saw some fields that had a fine weed, but of course wo could not toll what was in it. 1 talked with a great many farmers aud 'ioy generally re ported a half bale to Le acre as au ave rage crop. They mako this without commercial lei tili /.ers and without fresh air and pure water, whilo we uso all throe. So I have como to the conclusion that Texas is uot so much ahead of South <'aiulina after all, although I saw some Hue lauds on my trip. I crossed the Mississippi river at Vicks burg. I waa there forty-three years ago and tho city was then full of Federal troops and the river full of guuboats. There aro only two thiugs as reminders of that time aud these aro the tombs over tho Federal doad aud the changed bcd of tho river which (?en. Grant caused by cutting a canal across the bend I suppose you have seen a full report of tho proceedings of tho convention ere this. J. IL Pickett. Death ol J. A. tired. Oakway, S. C.. September 10, 1000. J. A. Elrod died at his homo, near Oak way, about 1 o'clock Monday morning, 17th instant. He had boon a Hutterer for gomo timo from a stroke of paralysis. The end, though sad, waa a rolief to him. Mr. Elrod was a mau of real ability aud steibng qualities. Ho was S3 years, 8 months and 20 days old at his death. Ho had boon married el) years and 30 days, during w hi. a timo ho had lived a happy lifo. He died a consistent mombei of tho Presbyterian church. He joined t ho| cburoh 70 yoars ago. He leaves a host of friends who will learn of his deatb with sore regret. He has in houest and upright dealings with his follow man won for himself many laurels. For 25 years tho writer has been almost in daily association with Mr. Elrod, and in all that timo ho has boen the perfect gentle man, the loyal friend, the unostentatious, laborious man and an upright christian. Tho advocate of the poor aud unfortu nate, Mr. Elrod waa the sort of a friend worth having. He nover pushed himself nor did ho oar? for glory. Tho know ledge of duty woll dono, of victory, was all ho sought. He leaves a wife and five children to mourn their IOOB. The fune ral sarrioes wore held at Center church, tho pince of interment, tho day following his demiso, by his pastor, Kev. T. C. Ligon. A Friend. ANOTHER OM) VBTKKAN GONE. J. A. Elrod, of the Oakway vicinity, diod tho 17th instant, and by his death tho entire community has sustained a groat loss, aa woll as his own loved ones. Ho had attained considerable age, being s: years, 8 months and 20 days old, and yet his mind was clear to the last, though Iiis body had boen frail for sometime past. He had been a member of tho church, llrst a Methodist, then a Presby terian, for at least 70 yoars, and had boen married 50 yoars and ono month, his do voted wife, nearly 75 years old, still sur viving him; also, live children, several grand children and some great-grand children. Kvorybody held "Unelo Arch," as he wa? familiarly called, in tho very highost osteom, and no one fora moment doubted his pioty. Ho had boon a ruling oidor in tho Presbyterian church for 18 years, and he largely built the Oakway Presbyterian church, with his own bands and moans, himself giving the land on which it stands. Ho was ap pointed to ropresont tho church in tho Presbytery, to moot at Westminster tho 26tli instant, and his heart was sot on going. It WAS his delight to work in Sunday school, prayer meeting, and in doed in ovory good way. Truly he was a good man and he will be greatly missed. *#?

Wilmington, Del., September 22.-Be fore the eager geze of nearly 600 persons, Charles Conley, the negro who was a few days ago sentenced to fifty years' im ?>r?8onment,"au,d to receive thirty lashes br committing an atrocious assault and battery upon Mrs. Beatrice Frankish and her daughter, Mies Gussie Leitch, two weeks ago, was publicly whipped to day in the yard of the Newcastle county workhouse. While theie have been mauy whip pings at the jail in the past, none at tracted the Interest of Conley's. More than 2,000 persons clamored for admis sion to the workhouse yard, which was too small to accommodate all of them. Conley walked to the whipping post | and stood without a tremor as his wrists were fastened i o to the iron braokets. Wardoo Meserve took bis position, and with the crowd standing with breathless attention, administered the puulshment. The heavy whip, with its nine leather thongs, each Vomit a sixth of an inch in diameter, fell across tho oulprit's bare bock with a foroe that raised large welts. This was repeated thirty times. Conley never uttered a sound until the sixteenth stroke, when au agonized "Oh" was foroed from his lips and woe repeated until the last blow fell upon the quiver ing flesh. Conley staggered slightly when he was released, but was able to walk without assistance to his cell, whore be entered upon his sentence of imprisonment for | half a century. No blood was drawn. The negro's back, however, was a mass of dark welts and ridges almost from shouldor to waist.

(."ellison College, September 24.-Be Causo a eoimnitt.ee, appointed by the Board of Trustees of Clemson Collogo, paid oightoon hundred dollars for nine fine Jersey cows, and because somo f ar m?is who attended tho farmers' institute in August claimed that thoy did uot re ceive guod accommodations and good attention, a numbor of persons through out tho State have boen publishing iu the newspapers severe criticisms of tho man agement of Clemson College, Col. R. W. ?Simpson, chairman of the Board of Trustees, considered the several criti cisms of such moment that be called a special mooting of the Board of Trustees, which mooting was held last Tuesday night and Wednesday at tho college. After examining thoroughly the oow transaction and understanding tho con ditions, the board issued a statement endorsing the action of the committee that purchased the oows. The board and the faculty regret that some of the farmers did not reoeive the best of at tention and accommodation, but it should be known that thirteen hundred farmers who were in atteudauce at the farmers'institute is a large number of persons to accommodate, and under the circumstances the farmers received the very best of attention and accommoda tion, and tba Board of Trustees, while deploring tho lack of attention iu some cases, havo dismissed the consideration of all tho criticisms along this line.
