of reducing the cotton acreage. The

most of whom was from the country.
Governor Tillman devoted himself al

Mr. Chiairmaij, Fellow Ciizens of

i al. al w-ays glad to respond to any
call trol1 Ih( cillZens Of a Co1unty to
confer Vith tlcil on any U,ptc ailect
ing the I iiblic welfire. Your invita
tion is to discas lie agricultural out
look and the condition of the hai ining
interest and kinured itteccst. bearing
on it.
Agriculture is the b:sis of all wealth,

We are confroia.ed by a condition
which t,. blue, in deed. Never in ray
recollect;on sin.e 1865 have we beea
facli to face wil Ih a prospect so glooiny.

The pres,it coliatitiun of overprodiie
tion-too iici .tton-ws ieditetel
by me seveln 3ears ago in a spieell a!,
1ennettsville, and I set to work to bi ing
about some change as far as discussion
w auld (10 it.
What has prodciCal this revolution ?
I say in soberness and truth that by
every measure in our power we have
driven %i r rocl-it, !o Ihe culture of cot
(,I aone. 1ow ? Oije of thi greatest
causes was the eilactetit of the lien
law. The enactment of this law placed
credit on i he crop before it ii planted.
It placed the man of character and the
n11an without ii on the same- plane. The
honest, and dishouest, the iitelligent
and ignorant, the induitrious and lazy,
were all placed on th same level. It,
placed the value of thie crop in the
hands of those who did the buying, and
all weit to planting cotton ieciuise
debts were payable in cotton. Tlle
Legislature is largely responsible for
the condition of cottol.
The effect has been to make cotton
the crop to buy everything else with,
and t,his, together 'w ithi the rental sys
temi, brought about the enactmentof
tihe stock law. Trhe people said we
can't make money out of stock, so why
keep up t,he fenice:, amil so the stock
law canWe. St.ock raising disappeared
and people turned t heir attention more
anuli mol' ho cotton.
Other ills have followed the culture
of cot toni. Onec is the incre :sed use of
fertilizers. Every year we pay over
$3,000,000. Th(ere is nio rotat ion? of cropis,
and noi :.t templt to ireservye thle luia.
We kill grass inne nionths in t.he year
and then buiy Northiern hay. F-oru see

to do it. Whotter the pit.t Price of~

The Democratic party in ('ong-rss

Cict lutat there were cg,,uards at every
pos.sible avenue ofeavesdropping at, the
meeting of the State Democrtaie execu
tive conmittee last night might have led
to the idea c.hat there was to be a lively
and exciting meetin, of the committee.
Subsequent events, however, proved
that the meeting was devoid of special
sensational features, amld that very little
of importance was done.
The rules about which so verv -iuch
have already been said were adopted
with but little protest, and with the in
portant amenidment that the position of
Probate Judge shall bo votcd Ior at -i
general. primary.
The meeting was very largely attenti

untiusal would occur. There were pres

There were a number of visitors
preseni t, among whom were .J. W.
Stokes, of' the Alliance, lepresentative
1. II. 1)uk-s, of Orangebur2; "Call"
Cautman, of Lexington, and other il
Lernates.
Chairman 1rby, in opening the busi
ucss, stated that at the last meetin_! of
the State commnittee a sub-coimittee
had been apoonted to draft rules fOr the
,overnment, of the Democraeic partv.
Ile called oi Dr. Pope to make a report.
The rules were the same as have hereto
fore been publised and very u-nerally
discussed.
Vpon miolon of I Mr. .Jordi:n. seconded
by Gen Gr::y, the uiles were endorsed
and confirmed as the nKJion of the ISate
collilittee.
Dr. 'ope mlloved as an amendmenit,
wNhich was adopted, that the olice ot
Master be added to be voted at the pr!
I ir. S.Impsoln 'ope in1troduced the 1*1
lowing resolution, which occasioned
considerable oiscussioni:
lZesolved, That in the primary elec
tions, where there are more personq
than one to b- elected, either as dele.
gates to conventions, met bers of the
House of lepresentatives and county
commissioners, the ballot voted shall
contain the names of the different per
sons for these positions to the extent of
the number to be chosen or elected, and
no ballot for these offices which shall
not be full shall be connected.
Dr. Pope explained at length the mo.
Live of tile resolution, which was to prc
vent ---ming."1
Gen Gray moved to table f he resolu
tion, which motion prevailedl by a vote
of 17 to 6.
T1hie quelstioni of' the appointmient oh
supervisors of' registration by Governor
Tillman was discussed and it was the
sense of the committee that the necessity
of' the atimointment o1 olliceris be called
to the attention of' the various county
executive committees, withz a view of
their recomniendling applointments.
OIn motion of'1r. Youmans, of IIlamp
toni. it was resolved that the tules for
the govert en t of the piia ry he prait
ed, and ont the same circu;ar' 1be prmted
the Ac' of' 1888, and thiat these be dis
tri'uted am;'ng the managers at v'arious
voltir precuintits though the various
county chiairmten . The tul's will he
forwarded direct ly to the conticty chor-~
mnen.
A I this j uncture D)r. Il'opus intIroduced
his resolution to fix thle numiiber to con
stitute a quo~rumi at, seveni, whlich' was,
subsequently withdrawn.
A niiec puint was raised in refeireni'ce
to placing lhe names oft couty com))mis
sinner's on fb ilots for the primary, in
view oif the untcertainty' of the~ 11 olc b
