M. Lit'lejohn, of Jonesville has requested us to stalo that he has not given up his profession, as supposed by a great luuay and that his patrons can still find him at his post. JN&* It was our intention this week to give a fhll account of the very judicious and energetic action taken by the Hoard of Trade ; towards building a handsome and coiuiuodi. t ?/ ous Graded School House, but, in ordar to do full justice to this great enterprise we have concluded to postpone what we have to say for it to next week. We have before us a cluster of second crop June Apples, taken from a tree on Mr. T. M. Littlejohn's premises at Jonesville. While we often sec two crops in one year on an apple tree, we don't remember ever seeing June Apples grow in clusters; but there's no knowing what the prolific soil of Jonesville cannot produce. / Wo enjoyed a pleasant visit last Tuesday from Mr. J. L. Weber, one of the ablest men now on the editorial staff of the Charleston JVctrs mid Courier. Mr. Weber f Was elected School Commissioner for Cliarlos|J.

The receipts of cotton at this market I since the opening of the season falls coni siderably short of last year. There are two reasons for this, i. c : The Alliance advised L the holding of cotton as long as possible. 1 and the cotton has opened later and 1 I slower than for years past. The following I are the comparative receipts from Sept. 1st L to Oct. Gtli for 1888 and 188'J: J Receipts in Sept. 1888, - - - 414 bales V Xtt- Wo call attention to the advertiscmeat of Mr. S. M. Rice, at East UniBn. We had the pleasure of looking through "five cents Counter," and wo can only it is marvelous how he can afford to sell I one from wham they were purchased, stole I them or Mr. Rice did; but as we know that 1 V Spencer is strictly honest, we dare not ac- i I cuse him of such a thing. 1^^ We ask our readers to read his adverlise k merit then call and sec what wo have scon. i tST The oold snap of Sunday and Mon u?j naa no aouoi materially reduced the B| estimate of the cotton crop, as many Far- ' mere baaed their calculations cn having as late a killing frost as wo have had for three I r or four years past. The wind cn Sunday night kept the frost from the nplands, but ' on the lowlands it was heavy bdU killed all ( kinds of vegetation. Monduy there was J B but little wind and a heavy frost fell during < B the night, ending the maturing season of ( all crops,?and cutting off the cctton very g considerably. Qpe farmer told us last Friday, that if < the frost**wpt off as late as last yeav ?until ^ Novembar-4-fce would moke a fair crop, but f if it came soon be would not make over lmlf i a crop. Ufrfqn enquiry, we find that to be a V the osnditlon of the crop, upon almost every a ? farm in this section of our County. We t therefore, (Day safely estimate the damage y to the cotton crop by frosts this week at f 25 per cent, at least. Jgsif Tho receipts of cotton at this mar- 8 ket, compared with last year, for the first month of the season, .shows that tho Alliance Farmers are heediDg the instructions of the order and holding tho cotton with the hope of forcing up prices. This is ?ho ' case, not only in this market, but ia almost every other interior market throughout the cotton States, and is having every damaging effects upon some Southern indtistjiea, more particularly upon the smaller industries, established with limited means and credit, the owners of which depend, almost entirely, upon the early sales of cotton for the circulation of money in the coini munity, to enablo them to collect debts and Iieet their business obligations; usually hade to fall due as soon after the opening I the cotton market as possible; which if not Rd at maturity, often puis the unforlunte small debtor at the mercy of the note paver, money-lender, or extortioner, to or row money. At present, the holding back of the cotton, njuros no one so much as our home folks, ,nd if continued any length of time it may lave a tendency to place all some of our industries in (ho hands of foreign ^^^^^Bpitalists, upon which to establish trusts combinations.

Not only that, by encouraging our home mills we -encourage home industry, home enterprise and liberal home markets. if ihe Farmers are in earnest about killing the Jute Bagging 1 rust, to be consistent, it seems to us, they should bo equally as tealous in killing the Standard Oil Company, a Trust equally as iniquitous and arbitrary, and far more dangerous, because it controls a more extended and far more powerful money influence: Florence, October 3.?The Florence SubAlliance met here a few days since and unanimously resolved to sell no ootton seed to the Standard Oil Company or any other mill in the combination, provided the home mills will buy and pay a reasonable price for the seed. It was also deoided to make Wednesday of each week Alliance day for selling cotton, and urged upon all farmers to bring their cotton in only on that day. By this plan a Is. go amount of cotton will be placed on the market at one time. ik?ro I by inviting buyers to oomo from abroad and put prioes up to the highest possible figure. It will be seen by the above action that the Cotton Seed Trust han expect no favors here, and that the farmers will do a'.l in their power in contributing to the success of the home mills. Tbo Cotton Seed Oil Miil of this county is being pompleted as fast as possible, and will require every bushel of seed brought to the market, for wliioh the managers are willing to pay the highest price.

Wo would recommend that our Rep resent Aires provide more effective means to enable the constables of the Trial Justice! of this county to perform their duties, bj changing the law as it now exists relating to the salaries of said constables, for the reason that the salaries are so small that it it difficult to find any one who will accept the position, and tho State is often powerless to procure its witnesses in State cases. The Grand Jury favors the proposition advanced by your Honor, and would reoomtnend it to the consideration of our representatives, as to tho necessity ofa 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 they have had the publio roads repaired, and placed in their present excellent condition.

If you willingly go and counsel with your brethren and then follow the will of the majority, acting as a whole, then I assure you that success is ready to perch upon your business, and my word for it, the world and everything outside can't prevent tho farmers from having their own way. This is manly and intelligent, and U will make you tho conquorors. If you do this we can control flip price of <5ur products, and can sell them in a market that wants them and is willing to pay a fair price for them. [Applause, and Amen, by the fellow standing near the speaker's stand.] No class of people ever acted so foolishly as the fanners have. Take the merchant, and if his business isn't paying him he quits; if the doctor is losing money by hia profession, he goes at something else; and the lawyer will not continue practicing at the liar when be finds thai his income ?s n6) sufficient to support his family, (if lie lias one,) and so he gives up a profession that his whole life, perhaps, has been devoted to obtaining. No other roan on earth will continue a business that isn't paying him, except the farmer. I will ask the attention of the members of the Farmers' Alliance, and I trust that from a few remarks you will catch the expectation of the Alliance from tliem. Be t<.refhl and select the best men fVom your Sub-Alliances and instruct them as to your views to the County Alliance, and each member must Blahd-bound by the will of the majority, and the man Who goes contrary to it is not keeping his obligation, and should be kicked out of the Alliance.

He must be paid ; but make arrangements with your Sub-Alliances to hold your cotton, and don't apply to individuals. I ask no man to do what he knows to be wrong. I ask no man to do what his conscience doesnt approve of. I would quit the organisation before I would do what my conscience didn't approve of; but we must profit by our past experience. Now is the time I to bo firm. There is a shortage in last year's crop, and England is getting out of cotton and is now running her mills on half time. She is not doing this because she has no orders for her goods. She has orders ahead and is anxious to fill thorn. It is because bIio hasn't got the cotton. She is waiting for you farmers to do as you always have done ?rush your cotton on the market?so she can buy it for less than it cost to produce^ it. I want now to show you the poffor of organisation : - Suppose you agreo to do what the majority says, to do. Thon you send a man to the County Alliance, and it becomes a unit; and to the State Alliance, and it bocomes a unit; and to tho National Alliance, and there whole of the cotton States becomes a unit. It takes all of us to do this duty. Every State must be represented. Some of the County Alliances are talking of taking charge of their cotton crop and managing it themselves. Gentlemen, they oan't do it. Your State must be represented in the trade 'ex? change. You must know how much of tho crop must he held before you can act intelligently in the matter. You can only find out how much of the cotton is on the market by this concert of aotion; how much is on your farms and what are the demands of the factories beforo you can safely sell. A little county trying to manage a matter like this reminds me of a gentleman cow getting on tho railroad and trying to butt . the cngino off the track. The looomotivc struck him and knocked him about 40 feet, when a fellow standing by watching him, cried: "Well, old fellow, I admire your pluck, but damn such judgmont." I admire Uio pluck of tho man who tries In nnnlnnl 111. ...II.. . .f r>??II with ono county's product, but "damn his discretion." It's just as easy for you to get your price for your cotton as it was for the Arkansaw girl to know her dad. A traveler rode up to ft house ono day in Arkansaw and found a half grown girl leaning against tho door post. He asked, "Who lives hero ?" "Dad," was Use reply. "Who is dad?" Why, don't you know dad ?' No. "Why," 8ho says, "laws a massy ! I knoirs dad jest as e-a-2-1/." [Shouts and laughter.] Wo can accomplish our object "Jest as r-a-z-y." Not a bit of trouble, but to como up and mai iuiiu iuc great missiwippi wuum say, we wont mix our waters. The selfish little streams would have struck the sandy prairie and driod up before tlicy got fairly started. So it is with the farmers who aro not organized. They have no power. "What can thoy do ? Some who think they aro smarter than the body of the combined Alliance put me in the mind of tho mau on the Jury who, when tho Judgo became indignant uuuul their failing to find a verdict,*; excused himself by saying: "Your Honor, I have been ready all the time to agree, but there aro eleven of the contrariest men on that Jury I ever saw all my life." [Laughter, and cries of bull;/ for Mat,] That mau was a dandy, wasn't ho? If you don't organize with a resolution to obey the will of tho mjyority it is no organization at all. With proper and determined organization von lmvo nit power to carry out your will. One farmer by himself, is like the gnat spoken of in Aesop's Fables : Sitting on the horn of the ox he finally grew remorseftil and said: I ^evei^Ttimw"^at ryou were thcre.^ " To the independent man who thinks be can manage things by Jiimself successfully, I will say that you arc not known by the commercial world. It has never heard of you. [Applause and laughter.] Tub Pbabodt Fuxd.?New York, 3.?The trustees of the Poabody Educational Fund held their annual meeting at the Fifth Avenue Hotel to-day.
