GOT- TILL*AH'$ HZWBK&RY SPEECH. As the Qoveiuor came forward he looked pal# and feeble from bis recent sickness, and It wa? evident)/ ao effbita* well as a ii*k be made in Ailing hi* engagement to ?| eak so soon after gelling cut of a sick ted. Feeling that be bad no strength to waste, he stirted into his subject without muoii preliminary and apoke in a low and calm, but perfect)/ distinct voice. !l?s sm>??r??,-? wiin considerable cheering. He spoke as follows: I an just out of a sick bed Yesterday was the first time iu ten days I have been out of the house:, and but w>r fear that /on wsnld bare oome heie to heir me to-ds/ and goaf home disappointed, I would not base oome. I am alwa/s glad to respond io the call of (be ci'iieus of a?j count/ to confer with them on any subject I bat concern the public welfmc. I have teen invited bore to discuss the ugricu'tural outlook, lln? condition of the farming interests and oilier kindred topics bearing on agriculture. A icu-tife is the basis of ail weulib; tho bits.* on which ail eocicty tests. I lira tol I that lam net expected to touch on politics. Tha aubject for discussion is u dry one, hut moro important than politics, because it affects every individual ami household. Advice it superabundant. Kveiy man is ready to give advice on any and ull occasions. lint few take it. As .Shakespeuc says: "I can cu-icr te'l twenty men what is good to be dor.o than to be one of ihu twenty to follow my own teaching." We ere confronted with a gloomy cond.tion. Never within my recollection?certainly never since IHob?has thcr e been a more gloomy prospect. I have heard often that In 1848 and lHl'.t? when 1 was a b.il?y in the nra<Ue0_J s'piolar jiO'vilbjow. but other things were different then, and , the people were more able to meet the low (rice of cotton. Then nenily every plant ition was Keif-sustaining Wo bought very lit I :o nccessaiics?we produced tnein?all except sugar, ealt.sho 's for (lie negroes and one or two oilier articles. We have revered tbo condition then exiting, v/e have changed tlie economy of fanning, and now we devote our energies largely in producing OIlC COD. lo hllV ncui-lv evervtliiiur we lini ' w / o ** - ? com|>e!le?l to have. Tin present condition of over-production, or the raising of loo much cotton -more limn tlie world will or cut consume?was seen by too ?oven yotrs ugo, nod predicted I-y too in n speech nt ISonncitsvillo. And I then sc' nhoul lo effect n change I>y public dscusttion of the subject. W ?>::t bnw produced flint revolution There are several cause* Hint Imvo fostered. cncotuMgcd and almost driven tin to tho cultu'c of cottoo. One cause is the lien law, which bancs credit on a fit tire crop. It h is placed the honest and tho dishonest on the ennic footing, the iu'clligctil and industrious alongside tho ignorant and li/.y and 1ms compelled the raising of n large cotton crop. Formers and renters contract for so much cotton. Our legislation is largely resp nsihle for this condition. Tho effort to make cotton to pay for everything else, on the renting system?especially wIiqic tho negroes predominate?brought nhuut the dctnaiid for the stock law. It was claimed ilmt we could not make anything out of stock, and tint the fences were too expensive to enc'oso theui. I was an advocate i f the no-feuca law, nttd helteve it is a Ido.sing, It did not necessitate doing away Willi stock, I ml licit wm largely t liu pructsml result; lint' tbcretbic it caused iiiomi ntnolioii to ho given tu cotton eulliiru.

We pay net caeh over $3,000,000 a year for fertilizers. Our lands are subjected to cotton culture year aftor year. 'J here is no rotston of crops, no preservation of the huiuus ef the Boil, and our billy lauds nro washed into a thousand gullies.

Hut the college being still in the sweet bye and bye," what ale we to do tiHtr '.' The way appears to mo to lie plain, li needs no conventions and no mass meetings to point out the road. Wo certainly pro luce more cotton than the u< rid will buy ni ietnunerntiv? prices tons. Whether spicuulation and financial depress! u have anything In do with tho price ant I beiieve they are partly responsible - i lie price of cotton now is less than it costs to raise it.
