cause which have led to the low prices u
the statdc this year in the ollicial report i
the statistician of tlie 1'nite 1 States Deparl
ment of Agriculture. The prices have in
been affected by the volume of money in cii

or by any other of the many causes allege
by the economic quacks w ho hare nttempie
to turn the present condition of the liirmet
to their own pol tied account; h it they h iv
been regulated by the law if supply ,ui<
demand. This point is made clear by th
report of the statistician, who ?nys that "ii
two years this country has produced mi
excess above the normal requirements o
more than "two million bides, and that th
only pCooibie retneiy for thi- cmiitioti o
nffairs is to be found in tlie heavy rcductioi
of the cotton acreage. The c tton States,
says the statistician, must be agricultural!'

i# county, assembled iu mas* meeting iu <l
i# Courthouse bore last Tuesday, for i lie
tirpose of se'ccting delegates to represent j
nion County in the .March Convention held g
i Columbia last nigbt, the 24th. s
The small nttend'oe* was due to Cue fact "
int the meet'ng was very Kts advertised, |
ad was not ns thoroughly csnvn*sed j
irotighout the county as it should have been, s
ud another thing that kept n good many
iriners from attending, was the fine weather l
>r farm work, wli cli farmers were inking \
dvnntagc of, preparing for this year's crop. I
Soon after ll o'c'ock, lion. William
luuro celled the mc ting to order, by stmt- j
)g the object and purpose of ihc meeting, j
nd nominated Mr. W. 3. Lipscomb, of

Mr. Lipscomb read I lie call for the mass I
letting with a lew remarks.
On motion of Mr. Wlllin a Muuro, the '
nccting proceeded to elect delegates to the j
ilarcli convention, t> be held ai Columbia
n the 111th, which resulted as follows :
V. 8. Lipacomb, William Jefferies.
I M JT - SMVhtrwr, .
j. J. Browning, 111 II. Jeter,
The following were elected Alternates:
P. L. Ilarors, D. II. Miller,
I. II. llamilt m, W. 11. 8. Harris,
1. J. II. lloweh, M. C. Hay,
I. O. Going, W. A. Moorchead,
Captain Charles C. Culp was called on
md amid much cheering, lie urosc and made
i very brief but eloquent speech. He was
tear lily in syinpu' hy with the purpose of
he meeting, aud was glnd such s'aunch
representative a'id conservative citizens
ivere elected to the Columbia Convention,
ind he felt sure Hie County would b? well
represented. He was dcriroun of having a
I'riuiary for a 1 offices, front Governor down.
Hon. William Muitro, was also cailed on.
lie stated briefly the call signed by himself,
tnd twelve other prominent uica of this State.
Mr. Munro declared that he was not seeking
office; that .1 years ago ho had abandoned
politics, and iutet.de 1 to devote all of his
lime to the prac'i e of his profession.
. He entered into a criticism of Governor
Tillman's adtninistia ion. He called special
attention to the many law suits which Governor
Tillman and others of his administration
hal involved the 8latc in, and the great
expense the 8tntc is put to on that account.
He also ran over a few of the many pledges
of Governor Tillman, \>h:ch he has failed to
carry out. Not a .vnglc office had been
abolished, hut instead, many new ones have
been created. No sahnjes hare been reduced,
but in some cases they have been added to.
After Mr. Munro finished calls were made
from all over the hoti.-c for Cot. I. (!. McKissick.
Col. McKissick walked around in the
center of the bar, and began by saying that
he had hoped that the "old pickwiek" plowman
would not be ca'lcd on. Colonel said
no ??i?u viSinnrfl iff"every
particular, and he thought Til'mnn had better
give up the gubcrnnticnal chair and
retire to his farm, as he was the owner of a
large farm and was a first rate farmer.
The Colonel end orsed what the other
speakers hid said, and was in sympathy
witli the purpose of the meeting. Me pronounced
Tillman's electioneering charges
of fraud and rottenness in I lie past government
were utterly false. Colonel said lie had
served his County in the Legislature for
years, and the present government was
the worse since 1870. Colonel closed by
saying he wanted to sec old South Carolina
redeemed.
The following resolutions were offered and
unanimously adopted:
Jteaolvrd, That I?. II. Tillman has failed to
fulfill ihe pledget ma le by him to the ?eople
in 18'JO. in his curvass for the ollioe of
Governor, and upon which he was elected.
lltsolvtl, That he is not entit'ed to the
support of the >'??- r? ctcu'foii.
Kfsbtiyd, That our delegation be requested
to urge the Convention to use all pro. cr
means to secure the nomination of State
otlicers by a primary c'ection.
The meeting then adjourned.

The March report of the statistician of the
department of agriculture issued to-day
shows that the production of cottou of the
world exceeded the consumption more than
a million and a half da'es in 18'.'0, and a
further greatly enlarged excess in 185)1,
glutting the markets anl increasing tne
visible stocks during the p?*t year more
than 1,100,000 bales and reducing the Liverpool
price of middling upland trout ti 1-10
pence in January, 185)0, to 4.1 pence in January,
185)2. It states ! ' * ? > ? ? ilea
nfts produced an excess above normal
reuuirciuents of more than two mi lion
bales, ami indicates a heavy reduction in
thoacrcngtas the only possible remedy.
Otherwise the agriculture of the South will
sutler worse than western agriculture ever
has. It declares that the cottou States must
bo agriculturally self sustaining, that new
crops must be introduced as i he agricultural
population has outgrown the opacity of
cotton to support it.
