the demands of the crops. The sun is to-day overcast with clouds, which promise every hour to empty themselves of their watery coutents upon the parched earth. It appears from late information that Carrael Hill was the only precinct, in the county, at which any intimidation was practiced at the recent election. At a Republican meeting held near that place, on the evening preceding the election, it was resolved to inflict a grievous punishment upon any colored man who voted the Conservative ticket. An attempt was made to execute this threat, by driving away colored Conservative voters from the polls on the morning of the election, but the opposition of the whites, combiued with T that of the colored Conservative element, checked the carrying out of the intimidation programme. The leader of the coersion party was Ike Castles, colored, who, with his con federates, will doubtless be sent to the penitentiary, if the charges can be sustained. Rev. Dr. Cham bliss, of Charleston, Rev. Dr. Mcllwain, of Columbia, and Rev. Mr. Kramer, of Augusta, filled the Baptist, Presbyterian and Episcopal pulpits, in our town yesterday. Their sermons fully sustained the reputations of these distinguished preachers. Rev. L. C. Hinton united in the bonds of holy matrimony, on Thursday evening, Mr. W. A. Sanders and Miss Jennie Harden. In behalf of their many friends, I extend hearty congratulations, and hope for them all the happiness that earth can give. In a short time they will take possession of their pretty and comfortable cottage on the south side of town. Qui. THE COTTON CROP. reports of the new orleans and nashville exchanges. New Orleans, July 26, 1875. To the President and Board of Directors New Orleans Cotton Exchange: Gentlemen:?Your committee on information and statistics beg leave to submit the following report for July, condensed from replies of correspondents, in sections allotted to this department by the National Cotton Exchange, viz: Louisiana.?We have received 65 answers from 31 parishes, and their average date is to the 15th instant. The character of the weather is generally reported as favorable, more so than at the same period last year, though our latest dates bring us complaiuts of drought. The stands are generally good, and better than last year. The plant is blooming and boiling well; labor efficient, and present condition of the crop much better when compared with last year, except in certain districts where rain is needed. Mississippi.?One hundred letters have been received from 32 counties iu this State, nearly all dated on the 15th of the mouth, their uniformity of date being a great improvement over the past. The character of the weather for the past month has been mainly favorable, with, however, considerable exceptions. Some letters complain of too much rain, others of the want of it; these opposite reports coming often from the same county, showiug an unusually partial distribution of rain, or local showers. Plantations not five miles apart have had too much rain ou some, and too little or none at all on others. One-fourth of the letters state the "plant is too large and growing too fast to fruit well," and is iu a very unfavorable condition to receive either a protracted drought or wet spell. A very few complain of boll worm and shedding, but no apprehension is expressed of caterpillars, none in noticeable numbers having anneared. Stauds generally good and laborers working well. Arkansas.?Forty answers received from 21 counties. The weather has been generally dry ; occasional showers, however, have pre. - vented any damage, and on the whole it has been more favorable than lastyear and almost as good as could be wished. Stands are reported uniformly good, and the plant fruiting remarkably well. The general condition is undoubtedly the 6uest known for a number of years, aud excepting some apprehension of a possible drought, the tone of our correspondence is as cheerful as could be desired. Harrison Watts, Chairman ; R. DeGas, J. V. Richards, Wra. A. Gwyn, R. C. Cammack, Edward Morphv, W. C. Simmons, Jr., committee on information and statistics. Nashville, July 26, 1875. From department assigned to this Exchange by the "National Cotton Exchange," comprising in Alabama?Lauderdale, Franklin, Colbert, Morgan, Limestone, Madison, Marshall, Jackson, DeKalb and Cherokee counties, and middle Tennessee, east of the Tennessee river, and west of the Cumberland Mountains. To the President and Board of Managers Nashville Cotton Exchange: (jrENTLEMEN:?We nerewitn suomtt tne crop report for the month of July, being compiled from answers received from over two hundred inquiries sent out to our correspondents in the district allotted to this Exchange. We can but re-echo the cheerful tone expressed in the replies received, and congratulate you upon the increased interest which our planting friends take in answering our questions. Within the last few days heavy rains have fallen over the greater part of our district, and we hear great complaint of too rapid growth of the plant, and fears that it will run too much to "weed," consequently will be deficient iu bloom and fruit. Some little complaint of insects and worms, but not enough to excite any anxiety. We trust, however, our fears may all prove groundless and that we may be blessed with the now promising abundant yield. Very respectfully John F. Whelers, George J. Goodrich, E. O. Parsons, committee ou information and statistics. 1st Question.?What has been the character of the weather since June 15th ? Answer. Alabama: 30 answer good rains and seasonable ; 10 too wet; 5 light rains. Tennessee: 48 answer heavy rains ; 15 say fine; 9 wet and hot. 2d Question.?Has the weather been more or less favorable up to this period than during the same time last year? Alabama.?Only two answers unfavorable for cotton ; the balance of our correspondence say "more favorable." Tennessee : 51 answer very favorable ; 16 answer not favorable, too wet; 5 about the same. 3d Question.?How are the stands in your section, and how do they compare with the same time hist year? Answer.?Alabama: Majority stands good ; 12 better : 5 about the same ; 6 not so good. Tennessee: 12 give not so good ; 62 good. 4th Question.?Is the cotton plant forming, blooming and boiling well? Answer.?Alabama : The greater part say very well ; a few complain of too rapid growth; 3 not so well; 6 about average. Tennessee: 50 very well ; 23 answer no ; 12 "so-so." 5th Question.?Do the laborers continue to work well ? Answer.?Alabama : Yes ; 8 reply not so good since harvest. Tennessee: Better; 7 not so well. 6th Question.?\Yrhat is the present'?condition of the cotton crop in your section, and how does it compare with the same time last year ? Answer.?Alabama: Quite favorable ; 8 plant small, but growing rapidly. Tennessee : 35 answer very good ; 5 average ; 9 not so good. Iu this connection we will state, last year at this time we were in the midst of a terrible drought. So no just comparison can be made. 7th Question.?State any favorable or unfavorable circumstances relative to the growth or condition of the cotton crop in your section not covered by the above questions. Answer.?Alabama: 10 answer none; 6 too much rain ; 2 favorable. Tennessee : Plant was very small up to the first of the month ; since which time the heavy rains have caused it to make too much weed, and not squares enough. 8th Question.?Has the wheat crop been j ! damaged by the late rains? Does the growing com still look promising ? Answer.?Alabama : Wheat, 28 no damage; 15 very little; corn still very promising. Tennessee: Wheat, j i 12 damaged and sprouted ; 38 little damaged ; | 10 not damaged. Corn, all answer the crop | is looking splendid, with a prospect of the i , largest yield ever made in this State ; G re; port a slight damage from wind. Average j date of replies, 21st. ADDRESS Of the Officers and Executive Committee of the Yorkville, S. C. Board of Trustees of the Southern Life Insurance Company. : Office Southern Life Insurance Co., | Yorkville, S. C., August 1st, 1875. ! ! To the Citizens of Yorkville and adjacent coun- i ties of South Carolina: We desire to call your attention to the fact! ! that recently at Yorkville, S. C., a local i ! Board of Trustees of the Southern Life In-j surance Company has been constituted, siini- ! lar in nature and purpose to other organiza i llOUS, now III BUCtCSSIlH U|JCI?1IUU III uiv bUlM' mercial and industrial centres of the South. ! | In explaining to you the very important ob- \ ijects contemplated by the formation of our' I Board, we canuot do better than to adopt the I language of the address issued by the Execu-1 ! tive Committee of the Board recently or-1 ganized at Rock Hill, comprising the most i substantial business men of that vicinity : "The object of the Board is, 1. To furnish safe insurance in a well established, solvent and successful Southern J Company and, 2. To benefit and secure policy holders by i investing in each locality in which it does business, so much of the reserve fund derived from the business of that locality, as shall, upon advice with local trustees, be deemed safe ai d judicious." And what we wish specially to call the attention of our citizeus to, is, that the Southern Life being, as we believe, a sound and safe company, amply sufficient to meet the wants and necessities of our people, well organized and in a flourishing condition, with its officers and agents of integrity and ability stationed within our borders, together with these local Boards of Trustees in each immediate neighborhood guarding the interest of its policy holders, should be sustained by Southern people. For by so doing you retain and keep in imnnnopi'ohoit fmmtrv thnsp pnnrmmis I 8iiras of money which are yearly paid to Northern Companies for Insurance. What the people of the South need now is capital; funds sufficient to develop the natural resources of this Southern country, and to re-establish its former prosperity ; then hold on to what you have won if it should be but a small amount, and stop this heavy drain upon our local fiuances. Since the war, South Carolina has paid to Northern Insurance Companies over eleven million dollars in excess of all amounts received or paid back on death policies ; while the entire banking capital of the State to-day is not more than six or seven millions. Now if this amount of eleven million dollars had only have been kept at home instead of send ? ft r .1 _ 4 _ ing it to the iNorth tor insurance?ine oraie would now have a banking facility of over seventeen or eighteeu million dollars. So if we are still subsisting with this limited supply of banking capital, how much easier would be our finances if we were enjoying the benefit of eighteen million dollars instead of seveu millions as it is. Any one can readily see that it would be ruinous to our interest to continue this line of policy. We submit the following extract from the Augusta (Ga.) Board as found in the Chester Reporter: "The Southern Life Insurance Company was organized in July, 1866, with a cash capital of S250,000. It has paid up to tli 13 time S500,000in losses, and ?200,000 in dividends, ninety per cent, of the profits goiug to policy holders. Despite these heavy disbursements, the accumulated assets of the company, January 1st, 1874, were S2.248,000.26. These results have been obtained by prudent and skillful management. The expense of conducting operations have been kept at the low rate of 121 per cent. Of sixty-five American Life Insurance Companies, reported in Goodsell's New York Reports for 1874, the Southern Life Insurauce Company excels 47 as to gross amount of assets; 44 as to number of policies issued ; 42 as to premium reeeipts ; 42 as to total income; 49 as to economy of management; ! . 1 - i- ^ : 1 . co i I HO as 10 wnoie amouui insured ; oo as iu aver- i age of each policy iu force; and with one exception, it excels all in increase of business. If success be the criterion of merit, these ' facts speak their own encomium of the shrewd business like management of this company, j and the high state of prosperity and security j which has naturally ensued. Tried by the standard upon which the official reports of all companies in the United States are based, its ratio of assets to liabilities, j which is the true test of the strength and se- j curity of life insurance companies, compares ! most favorably with the oldest and most sta- ! ble companies in the country. After a careful examination of the official j reports and statements submitted to us, we i find the Southern Life Insurance Company j safe, conservative and well managed, with a large accumulation of assets judiciously and j profitably invested, and we commend it to tbe ; support of our fellow-citizens." While we are generous to others, let us be just and true to ourselves and to our South-1 ern institutions and become more independent i and self-reliant. And we uever will be, so ! long as we continue to have everything fur- I uished us from abroad. Whenever it can be j done with safety, we should invest, aud en- { courage home industry, and by this means ' mutually beoeht each other, lhen let the; people of South Carolina patronize, encourage ; and sustain our Southern Life Insurance, our woolen and cotton factories, our manufactories and our various enterprises which tend to increase our prosperity and keep our funds at home. Begin then by entrusting your insurance to Southeru companies. Their agents and officers living as they do with us, have no dread of the great uncertainty to life on account of our "wicked and rebellious spirit," and will not take that as a pretext, like some of the Northern companies have done, to raise insurance on this Southern people, thereby making an unjust discrimination, and that too in favor of the North. Let us show to the : world, and especially to the emigrant who I would like to live with us, that such reflections ' as these are unjust, unkind and false?that ! peace reigns throughout the South ; that the ' 1 citizen who attends strictly to his own business and acts the man, is safe in the enjoyments of his life and his property, and as an evidence of the fact we trust and patronize Southern Institutions. Those who are now insured in Northern companies can have their policies transferred to the Southeru Life without ad- 1 ditioual cost, and we unhesitatingly advise all such to do so immediately. W. B.
