RH The cold snap of Sunday an 1 Moti^R5 day has no doubt materially reduced the ^R t* *Tb? estimate of the cotton crop, as many FarMm 'twas mers based their calculations cn having a.9 in?, late a killing frost as wc have had for throe ^R or four years past. The wind i n Sunday BR -"* ^ night kept the frost from the uplands, lint WmT 'Vs- i n, on the lowlands it was heavy nnd killed all K kinds of vegetntion. Monday there was + jj, but little wind and a heavy frost fell during K trp"*1- the night, ending the maturing season ?'f >t: all crops, and cutting off the cctton very BL P" m considerably.

Upon enquiry, we find thnt to be Jq' the condition of the crop, upuu almost every i|> farm in this section of our County. We therefore, may safely estimate the damage to the cotton crop by frosts (his Heck at 25 per cent, at least.

It was also decided to make ? Wednesday of each week Allianco day for d selling cotton, and urged upon nil farmers v to bring their cotton in only on that day. By this plan a la. ge amount of cotton w ill be placed on the market at uno time, there ? by inviting buyers to ooum from abroad and e put prices up to the highest possiblo figure. ,, It will bo seen by the above action that the Cotton Seel Trust ban expect no favors here, and that tlie farmers will do all in their power in contributing to the success of the home mills. Tho Cotton Seed oil Miil of this county is being completed as fast as possible, and will require every bushel of seed brought to the market, for which the managers are willing to pay the highest price. As it is tho first public enterprise in tho County, wo ure anxious to have it succeed, and the t Farmers cau help it and themselves by 0 adopting the same coutse as the Florence l* Alliance unen havo.

We also find on examination (list the guttering on the Court House needs repairing. We find that a new covering is netiessary for tho public well near the jail. We fiud the Sheriff's, Master's, Probate Judge's, Auditor's, and Clerk of the Court's offices in good condition; except iu the Auditor's office we find an accumulation of old papers which we would recommend to bo disposed of iu some suitable manner, and fuititer that a desk and a half dozen chairs be provided for the better equipment of said office.

The Brand Jury furors the proposition advanced by your Honor, and would recommend it to the consideration of our representatives, as to tho necessity of a reformatory institution, suitable to the proper training of the younger class of convicts. The Grand Jury feel it their duty to compliment the county commissioners for the manner tliey have had the public roads repaired, and placed in their present excellent condition.

The speaking was greatly enjoyed l>y the audience, which seemed not to tire of the length of time oc cupied by same. On one very important subject, relating tt church discipline, the lectures were seven and cutting, and to the point, but approved and enjoyed by all church-loving people. There was an essay read on, "Should church members engage in worldly amusements," which was capital, and did great credit to the writer, Itcv. J. 11. Couch. u ti.tu 1 incut* offered to the Constitution, and accepted, which were : 1st. That all the business he completed on Fridays and Saturdays, and Sunday he devoted exclusively to the hearing and teaching of God's word. 2d. That all Superintendents he held as delegates, ex-otticio, and the other required number t>? take;; f,u,a the other members. It was the intention, firsts-do-have |rrvncfc ilig'evcry night while in session, but on Saturday, seeing they were so pressed with business, it was deemed- necessary to have an evening session that .light, instead of a scra very lntercUing ?*rmon from 1st John, l: 10. x Sunday the Missionary sermon was preached by Rev.

It was decided to have the next meeting at Mt. Joy Church, Kelton, on Friday, before the oth Sunday in December. After a unanimous vote of thanks was extended to Union Church, and the town ol Union, for tho open generosity and hospitality, with which the Convention was received and entertained during its session, tho choir sang that most enjoyable hymn, God be with you till we meet again," the Convention adjourned to meet at Mt.

It's equal to a circus." I esn S( imagine as I now sit in my quiet room, i, hearing only the voico of innocent childreu, t< what a motley crowd hovers about the cl Spartnuburg "Hone Yard." Some gentlo- ^ . men, of course, but many frenzied with Spartanburg fire-water are hurling lies, a backed by oaths, in each other's ears, as s' they make their old horses and mules put , on their best looks. c; . ? ? AGRICULTURE. gi The greatest difficulty for the farmer to 1' ' understand is. that agriculture is a science: r and this difficulty is the main obstnclc to > the progress of farming. The producer in deserves far more credit, than tho consumer, I'j and he that makes two stalks of grain to . grow whero only one grew before deserves the homage of his fellow man. sr - In the nursuit of agriculture man comes ,S| \ close to nature. She reveals to him her se- ^ j crets, and opens to him her hidden stores ; in s makes him her assistant in the distribution hi of her bounties to all her children. When !" the Almighty first made man in his own itu- ^ , age, ho put him in the garden of Eden, to \ ; dress it and to keep it; plaiuy signifying lil ' that to bo the noblest calling. And there is fi4 to-day, no more lofty and honorable nvoca- s, tion for a true man than tilling the soil. w lie may constantly commune through na- cr turo with ntflure's Uol. Then his humble P' possessions arc the honest earnings of honest labor and ho can at all times lift his hands w before the warld uud claim that they are un- di spotted by the "rapino of avarice," or plunder of the helpless.

If you willingly go and counsel with your tri brethren and then follow the will of the he majority, acting a- a whole, thou I assure nil you that success is ready to perch upon Wi your business, and my word for it, the bei world and everything outside can't prevent W] the farmers from having their own way. Ch This i> manly and intelligent, and it will Po make you the enmjuemrs. if you do this soi we can control tin* price of our products, is and can sell them in a market that wants of them and is willing to pay a fair price for a i them. [Applause, ainl I/?< ?, by the fellow coi standing near the speaker's stand.] No foi class of people ever acted so foolishly us the th< farmers have. Take the merchant, and if (H) his business isn't paying him he i|uits: if scl the doctor is losing money by his profession, he goes at something else ; and the lawyer eri , will inn continue practicing at the Bar when su he funis (hat his income js not sulhcicnt to tio support his family, (if lie lias one.) and so ap lie gives up a profession thai his whole life, de perhaps, has been devoted to obtaining. No other man 011 earth will continue a business 1 that isn't paying him, except the farmer. I will ask the attention of the members of 7, the Farmers' Alliance, and I trust that from . a few remarks you will catch the expectation 1,1 of the Alliance from them.

With this inrmation before them, the National Alliance m instruct the Secretary of each Sub-Allilce when to sell, and by putting the right nount of ootton on the market, at the roper time, you can say what you will or ill not take for it. If you undertake to ;11 as you have always done, it will be the une old thing, so far as you are concerned, ushing your cotton upon the market withit system, and without consideration, uises tlie price to drop, ami nine times out r ten you sell it for less than it cost you to roduce it. The only hope we can have is i organization, aud every man must be true it. Don't twist over to sell your own itton at an advantage when you know you re leaving your brother in the lurch, bile you are asking your brethren to be ue to their obligations you must be true i your own. Don't ask them to stand by ,..'l I...1.1 .l?u? tl.n wl.iln v.,u Intro ic prize in selling your cotton.

Soiue of ou may be obligetl to sell to pay your inerliants. lie must be paiil; but make nrrangclents with your Sub-Alliances to hold your itton, and don't apply to individuals. 1 sk no man to do what he knows to be rung. I ask no man to do what his eminence doesnt approve of. 1 would quit the I'ganization before 1 would do what my condonee didn't approve of; but we must profit y our past experience. Now is the time j be firm. There is a shortage in last year's rop, and England is getting out of cotton ml is now running her mills on half time, he is not doing this because she has no orcrs for her goods. She has orders ahead ml is anxious to till them. It is because lie hasn't got the cotton. She is waiting for ou farmers to do us you always have done -rush your cotton on the market?so she in buy it for less than it cost to produco|it. 1 want now to show you the power of oriinization : Suppose you agree to do what ie majority says, to do. Then you send a urn to the County AHiance, and it becomes unit; and to the State Alliance, and it bonnes a unit; and to the National Alliance, ml there whole of the cotton States becomes unit. It takes all of us to do this duty, very State must be represented. Some of the utility Alliances are tnlkingof takinj^ charge their cotton crop ami managing it thein lves. Cent lemon. they can't do it. Your late must he represented in the trade oxninge. Yon must know how much of the op must he held before you can act telligently in the matter. You can only tul out how much of the cotton is on the arkct by this concert of action; how much on your farms and what are the demands the factories before you can safely sell, little county trying to manage a matter kc this reminds me of a gentleman cow Ming on the railroad and trying to butt to engine off the track. The locomotive ruck him and knocked liini about 10 feet, hen a fellow standing by watching him. icd: "Well, old fellow, I admire your uek, but damn such judgment." I admire the pluck of the man who tries control the cotton crop of South Carolina it It one county's product, but "damn bis seretion." It's just as easy for you to get >ur price for your cotton as it was for the rkansaw girl to know her dad. A traveler ide up to a house one day in Arkansaw id found a half grown girl leaning against io door post, lie asked, "Who lives lnwo ?*' Had." wns IPe reply.

The selfish little reams would have struck the sandy prairie id dried up before they got fairly started. it is with the farmers who are not ornized. They have no power. What can oy do?
