AWOKD rom THE FASVEUKEEP YOUE EYES OPEN AND DON'T LET TI1E TRUST OET TOD BY TflE THROAT. To the Farmers of the State; Tbert ia a general moTeBieot on foot, in which numbers of your beat representatives are Ukiog an active part, looking to the erection of eotton teed oil mille in fPtafeM ith meet talo, and it ia a Lao oertain that, if you will support tbea, thaj will work to jonr immediate good and benefit. It it probable tbat trueta and combinrtiona will attempt to throttle them; but those of you who, directly or indireotlj. lend your aid to such efforts, would teem to be working against the beet intereita of yourselves nnd your people. Should (be large mills offer 1 you a few cents more per bushel for your seed, the offer will he made mod the price given only for the purpose j of bringing matters to that point where they will control the market and force you to their terms. Will I you then twist the rope to bo used at ' your ewn hanging? Tbo local mills give you immediately the bcneGt of prices on the bpot for ' seed which you have previously paid with freight added to the warehouses ( of mills at a distance, en cotton seed 1 meal tbey will give you the same price " in your town which you have previously , paid at the warehouses of the Urge mills. In addition to these advantages a large amount of mouoy which have 1 been going away from your towns and the State is kept at home and in circulation. It is not the makioc in and 1 withdrawing of money from a commun- < ity which miikes it prosperous, hut it 1 is the making and the spending of money there which accomplished this result. It will take a short-sighted policy ou the part of any of our number, for the 1 sake of a few extra dollarH per crop, and 1 only for the single crop if competition 1 with tho large mills can bo crushed by < their methods, to relinquish the poiitivo advantages a lluded to above. To those who think seriously on this subject it must appear as one of the greatest dan- 1 gers ahead of these important local en- ( terpriscs that they may not be supported 1 by those very persons whom they cal ' culated most to benefit. Uewaro of the ' promptings of cupidity in what at most ' can be but smalt temporary gain, at the expenso of your lasting prosperity, h'ced your home mills first with nil the seed 1 they can consume ut the prices the large 1 mills paid last year, and (hen sell (he ? surplus to the latter. f Some of the small mills have put in j the best and most improved machinery some of it better than any ever used pre- t viously in any of the large iniils, ami o with your co-opcrutioo with theui for l your mutual benefit, t hey will succeed und you will bo profited thereby.

Another thing wc are told: Our advertising rates to merchants are too high. In answer to that charge wa invite any one complaining to compare our charges with those of any paper around us. The difficulty with such persons is, when they contract for, eay, a quarter of a column for one year, for a certain sum, th?y not only invariably get more than that space, but they claim the right to insert local and special notices, or any other additional advertisement, in any part of the paper, fret. We have yet to see any merchant throwing in" a yard of ribbon, a pound of salt, a foot of plank, or the smallest part of unythiog else, when they present their bills to us. We could nst have practiced much extortion upon our merchants in an advertising patronage aggregating 5 j'><) per annum for the past ton yoars. We are willing to advertise ut the same prices Charged by the Spartanburg, Newberry and Laurens naners. although we have not one hall tlio number of advertisers that they have in those Cities. The Johniou Rifle's First 4th. The 4ih of July was celebrated for (lie first time by the Johnson Rifles.

S n afier the l.adies were through, then came a dewy eve a heavy rainstorm, and all hands and the cook got wet. And amid tlio suind of the drum and the pattering of the rain drops on their helmets, the Johnson Rifles returned from their first 4th of July celebration. After they had marched to their Armory, old Sol began to appear in the heavens and all was bright and clear again. It was then announced that the plume drill woul 1 take place at the Armory. Capt. R.

While among hie friends 10 yesterday ho gate a short talk on the jute 011 bagging, winch was logical and clear. ac "The farmers intend," said he to a Tele I1( graph man, "to put down this jute business forever, and we are going to stand by- ' 0 home industry in doing it. Cotton bagging, w< even if it cost a hundred cents per pound, bu is now our motto, and no man in the Alii- rj. anco expects to use jute at any price. We cannot blarno the warehousemen for handling it. but they must uot force us to buy Cc' it. . wi There is another thing that we propose to remedy, and that is the pushing out of so much cotton early in the season on the | market, bringing down tlio price and keep- 1 ing it there during the entire season. The [ Alliance will assist in stopping this. ' pn When the season opens and lime conies for jj, selling cotton, tlie factor will expect the farmer to btiog him his cotton to sell. 1 (ieneiaUy it makes no difference how low ! the market is, the cotton must go or else ' li/ remain in storage. Now right here the ' iU1 Alliance will slcp forward. The farmer j will go to hia factor and pay the amount of ; ^'l the advances nnd the legal rate of interest. 11 The factor will get the cotton if the market is good. If it is bad then the farmer will on hold the eota?wi until it is good, by the help of the Alliance. The Alliance is the only 1,11 way to solve the difficulty of poor markets. It will have a sufficient number of roprc- fr< sentatives in the next House to frame laws protecting the farmer.'?.Viieon T'h'iraj>h.

Wfj fcaT# jaet passed through a wet spell of t9Q which hMgiven the grace such a start that it la going tB be hard to conqueil pfcrmers will have to work their crops for aoin9 titae to come, especially the cotton. ' ^he rains were not so heavy at Jonesvile vicinity as to wash the lands any great but 1 hear of the country generally being '.'^ched and the creek bottoms espeoially be.?? badly damaged by the heavy rains. The galorious 4th was celebrated by thwy people of Jooesville, not by military pa- } raJes or tbo firing of cannon, or any dls-^ play of the kind, but by a picnio.

One sad thing, however, occurred, just before dinner, that somewhat marred the pleasures of tlie occasion : Mr. 1$. F.

Not a store in the place could furnish 2~> cents wertli of bacon. Well, in reply to that, 1 woul i just say thnt is one of I lie favorable signs of pro*, peri ly in our town and community, for this reason : Our people have got their meat at home, of their own raising, nnd don't want lo buy, conseipjently the merchants don't make a specially of thnt article ; and it limy be possible that while thoro was no men! in the stores, there was plenty in the smoke-h ousos around. A man from the country brought u ham to town tlu* other ?lny that weighed .'to lbs. The hog weighed llti lbs net, nt I I months oM. The man could hardly find salo for his hnin nt I'J.t cents. It is to be hoped that all our people will take pattern from this nmtt, and thnt not one of them will ever have to buy another quarter's worth of meat while they live.

I copy in full: "I write to say that your paper on prickl?y confrcy and soja beans in April Cultivator is especially gratifying to uie, not simply that you confirm statements made by uio over ten years ago, hut that the experience ofyourself, neighbors and South Carolina Experiment Station, may contributo to a moro extended knowledge of these plants. "I wish to say that tho prickley comfroy readily matures seed, and these gorminato and produce vigorous plants. I wish also to suggest that tho speediest, best and, perhaps, the most economical way to multiply plants, is to let a few stock plints seed annually, aud plant the seed. When it becomes generally known that comfrev is surely propagated from seed, it will bo moro wido ly cultivated and used." Most rcspoctfully, D. L. Phares. I aui allowing a few of my vigorous plants to remain unmiti now in full flower, to savo soed, and thus increase my stock of plants. Another expeditious means of propagation lies in treating tho cut up roots as wo do swcot potatoes, preparing a very rich hot bed, and drawing the slips as rapidly as they become hardened off sufficiently to stand replanting on a damp, cloudy day. I have countod as many as fifty shoots starting from the cut ond of a largo piece of root, and shoots only on the cut end in sonic cases, these roots boing full six to ten iuohes long, which couGruis the statement made to mo that one root will boar cutting up into a great many pieces.
