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.

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

so good. Iu this connection we will state, last
year at this time we were in the midst of a

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

since which time the heavy rains have caused
it to make too much weed, and not squares
enough.

com still look promising ? Answer.?Alabama

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.
