Of course you recognize the fact that " no matter how many tons of fibre are produced, de-gummed end unbleaohed, there eannot be an outlet for it till arrangements j are perfeoted for carding and spinning it, / which necessitates expensive experiments y in the alteration of cotton and wollen maohi- h nsry and consequently much delay. H Again, even after tissues are woven a y taste for the fabrio and a market must be developed before the manufacture can be " extensively pursued; D. Landretb. In reply to this communication Col. Duller <j briefly states the prospects of ramie cultivation in this State: "Yours to hand: In the absence of any arrangements heretofore, for the manufac- * turo of ramie fibre, the cultivation has been limited and I might say almost abandoned, I but if your company can give some assurance of the organisation you refer to, I am confident that many of the farmers of this State will engage 1 in its cultivation in the year 1890. I ' will make inquiry in regard to the amount < on hand from the crop of 1889. I am very desirous our farmers should engage in the cultivation of ramie, and any information | you may be able to give me on that subject will be appreciated. 1 Col Butler would like to hear from any- ^ one in the State who has a crop of ramie for sale. ( Cyclone in Florida.?Jacksonville, Fla, ] September 21.?Bain fell here before dawa 1 and has continued without cessation all day, the air at times being almost white with sheets of ruin, much rricmbUnr a enow quail. During tho afternoon the storm was accompanied with sharp electrical shocks of an intensity never before experienced in 1 this part of the State. A few minutes before & o'clock a small black cloud was seen rolling rapidly toward the city from the southwest, through which lightning played at intervals, giving it a decidedly greenish color. ( Its velocity increased as it approaohed the zenith, and the wind became almost a ' hurricane. Suddenly the cloud burst and ' a perfect deluge of water descended upon the I city, its volumn being greatest in the terri- < tory bounded by Newman. i La?~? uu at. John's River. The | cloud waspattially dispelled and disappeared toward the northeast. In less than ten minutes the streets in the looality indicated 1 wer? flooded with water, the sewers and 1 8urface drains being wholly inadequate to I the task of carrying it off. The pavement is , cf circular cypress blockB. and the water forcing its way beneath them made the surface of the streets undulate like the waves of 1 the ocean. Teams and pedestrians broke i through and the water spurted up in the air with great force. A surface stream ran down Pine and Ocean to Hogan streets like < a mill race, washing the paving blocks up ' in piles, and in some instances carrying | them down nearly to the wharves. Day i street, from 1'ine to Market, is a mass or t dislodged paving Mocks and is impassable. UOTnil?.* States signal station, reports the rainfall the greatest on record here for a like duration. The only reoord approaching it , is that of September 26,1885, when frota | the previous midnight to II o'clock P. M? twenty-three hours, the rainfall amounted * to 6 inches on a level. < Dkdicatiko a CnoRcii'?Blacksburg, < York Co., Sept. 21.?At the consecration of j the Episcopal Church of the Atonement, here ^ last Sunday, five different churches in the state had representatives; Gaffoey, Spartanburg, Union, Newberry and Yorkville. The beautiful ritual of the prayer book, was 1 carried out in full, and of course the eervioe 1 was imposing and impressive. The clergy robed in the veslry room, ??: and proceeded to the front entrance of the church, where they were mo*, by Dr. W. 1 Anderson, Maj- Jno. F. Jones, J. tf. Goss, , and IV. A. Jackios. The procession then passed up the nisle to the church, preceded ( by the lliihop, and repeating alternately e with him, Psalm xxv. t The request for consecration was signed Q w.. r>? t n \f/w ?haw?A vv UJf 1VOT.

Theodore D. liratton s at 8 in the evening. Both sermons ex- ^ hibited vigorous thought, and were full of godly counsel. The iuusio for the occasion 0 was of a very fine order, the organist being " Mr. Edward Bacon of Spartanburg.

There is no dissenting opinion on this subject, and there can be none. The un- n offending colored people were barbarously ( treated. 1 heir assailants should be made to feel tbe lash of the law, heavily applied. *' The people of tbe South have as much d trouble as they can contend with on account r of false reports of their disposition and oonduct toward the colored people.

Our friend 8parks hailed us last Wedntls- ( day as we were passing his store and asked ^ if we didn't want to see something really grand in the Millinery and Dry Goods line? Of course we did, and we "lit" from the buggy as quickly as our old "underpinning" would allow us. j He took us all through the establishment, from the front door to the splendid Milli- ^ nery Department in the rear. It was certainly a grand display of an elegant stock of goods arranged with superb taste. In the Millinery department, the best of ^ Lady judges tell us, it is unquestionably the richest, most tasty and artistic stock ever ^ seen here, and Miss Diffenderffer, the Lady tnfiT1 nr.inu 4Vi?e ntit< 1?'vm- ? finc<l and elegant, and she Las the rare accomplishment of being aV?le to trim any number of hats or bonnets in the most fashionable style, with a distinct taste displayed in , each, thereby relieving her customers of that sameness of appearance and taste which so frequently causes Ladies to send to other places for their Millinery, in order to avoid the monotony of locai taste, and to givo variety to that most attractive part of a Lady's apparel. Ladies, we -advise ycru to call and consult her, before buying.

UHITY. 1 My Brother, did you ever conceive how 1 much was contained in the word unity ? A bringing together of all forces that can be united? Where an individual unites his physical, mental and spiritual being for the acquirement of some object, the work is half accomplished. The reason you and I have not been more successful as farmers, is because of our half-heartedness. Not, perhaps, that we have not given our time to our Arms, but because we have not taken an earnest and intelligent view of our situations and embraced the ton thousand opportunities offered us to better our condition. If physical strength was of paramount importance?the only thing needful?the dumb brute that draws your plow would deserve more credit than yourself. But tt is prospective intelligence united with muscle that will make a successful and prosperous farmer. Where a man willingly makes brawn subservient to brain, he is bound to suooeed. And also, what a vast difference thero is in brethren united and brethren divided?as much as thero is between noonday and midnight?as much as between sucoess and failure. When a class of true meu who know they are not getting their rights as fresmen, lay aside self, join heart and hand for the eleii l i * t IHs.wwtfVfi 1 but'when men of the same orafl enter into a combination for their general good in a halfhearted way, letting individual interests swerve them from the path of duty, we need not be surprised to hear of failures. Brethren, I solemnly declare unto you, that our only hope as an agricultural people is to stand together as a unit, against the power that wealth gives to capitalistic combinations. Extracts ftem Xsj. Terrell's Speech. KXPORTSD BY t. I. STRAIN. (PART SBCOXD.) The farmers must get ont of debt. They must wear patched clothes, if necessrry, and buy nothing for which they are unable to pay the cash, if they can possibly do without it. They must put patch upon patch until their garments are like Joseph's ooat. We ask the lawyers, merchants, newspaper men and, in (act, all other professions to allow us a chance?give us their sympathy. We are not disposed to ruin their business?are not trying to injure them. We don't want them to come to us after we have accomplished our objects, ?. ?., broken them tiuits, and placed the country, in all its industaial pursnits, upon the high road to prosperity, and say, as the man said, who escaped into the loft of his house and left his wife to Oght the bear: After she had killed it he came down from his place of safety, and slapping her on the shoulder, he pranced around saying, 'old woman, ain't we hosses." No, we don't want anybody in the loft while we fiirlii the hear. The monied powers are combined against us, and we must stand firmly together, if we accomplish anything. Wo must thoroughly organise to fight off these domestic enemies ; and without the aid of all classes, who will eventually be benefitted, we must war a long time before we will win. And this is why we ask the co-oporation of all our people to help us at this particular juncture. If they won't help us we must do like the Irishman on the prairie, when he met the bear: It was impossible for him to make his escape and he had to fight the bear or take the consequences. When they got into it and the bear was about to prove too hard for him, he called upon the Lord to help him; but finally he said, "Lord, if you won't help me, please don't help the bear." Now, if our merchants and others, won't help us, we don't want them to help the bear. The oppression of high-priced money, and all its attendant evils, have forced the farmers to take care of themselves. They have stood more than any other class of beings this country has ever witnessed. Literally speaking, they never sell a bale of cotton. They never have anything to say in the classification of their cotton, and but little about the price, when their bills and accounts are due. The merchant sells them his goods at his own price, and takes their cotton the same way. Only by thorough organisation can this evil be overthrown, and the fajrmers are now left to work out their own salvation. They have borne this thing long enough, and they are now like the boy who was scratching his head with both hands, with all his might, when hie mother said to him: "Johnnie, don't do that; that's an ugly and disgraceful habit, and, my eon, don't do so'.' "Well," says Johnnie, "mammy, they jumped on me nut.'' xii* speculator* nave jumped on tftt farmer* and now they are giving them a good seratohing. And they are going to keep en scratching until they get justice and can say what price they will take for their cotton. The way by which they expect to break np this cotton speculation is a plausible one, and I think they bare the pit and pluck to carry it out. If they will only unite and keep their doors psoperly guarded from intruders and traitors, who are the emissaries of those who wish to defeat the object for which the Fanners Alliance was organiied. $? ft. % r * -v For the Turn.
