There are S;:-how'on the place about sixty'horses and O" iforty head of Jersey cattle, all of which are ;c-;-r i;of the best breeds. It is worth any per 7;/son's ?ine to go there and see the pretty ' ? '. horses and cattle and fine crops. Visitors ?|sire ^ always, welcomed on the farm,-and ^--Mr. Harris takes pleasure in giving any information con cerning-it. We also had the pleasure' of meeting Maj.-Smythe, : "whose pret^ reiiidence sits on a high hill, ' - Burrbunded by a beautiful grove and Bei 'f'- /muda lawn, froraiwhioh a fine view of the aurroundlng coiantry is presented to the eye. . ;I?eaving the Woodburn Farm we drove f?'itb-; the Ashtabui.; Stock Farm, which is ; i / abw?ut three miles no rth of Pendleton, and ^ ^which is owned by Mr. F.

From Ash'cabola we returned to Capt. Stribling's home and partook heartily of a fine dinner. Early in the afternoon our good friend, Mr. Lewis, put in appear? ance, and in company with he and Capt. Stribling, we .drove to Fort Hill, the now famous home of South Carolina's departed statesman, John C~ Calhoun. Here wo spent another most pleasant hour viewing the many fine works of art and ancient relics that belonged to the family. Mrs. Prince, who has long resided at the old mansion, escorted us through the parlors, and gave us a brief history of ail the pic? tures and' relics. Here we could find sub? ject-matter enough to fill several columns, but.our space forbids, and we will have to hasten on. Mr. Clemson has certainly done a noble deed in giving this valuable property to South Carolina,? and if she does not accept it she is not as wise as we. think she is. Reader, it is worth your time to'visit Fort Hill. . Leaving Fort Hill we continued our journey to ihe hospitable home of Mr. Lewis, whoBd fine tract of land adjoins the Fort Hill place, and whose residence is very near the old revolutionary fort, from which the Calhoun home takes its name. In this beautiful Seneca valley Mr. Lewi's has a very pretty home, and with a most charming wife to presido over it, who, with their sweet children, made our stay under their roof one of the most pleasant features of the trip. His farm, too, is a very fine one, and on it is to be found some of titie best land in that section. Astride of one of his fine horses, in com? pany with our genial host, we rode over a go od portion of his farm. We went on i top of the old revolutionary fort, and from there we could at one view see three hundred acres of the Seneca River lowv lands, nearly all of which are planted in corn. Mr. Lewis owns a considerable portion of these lowlands, and when the seasons are favorable he usually gathers a crop of oats and a crop of late corn each year from the land. He. is not much of a cotton far mer, but believes in making bay, clover, corn and small grain. He de? votes the roost of his time, however, to the breeding of fine horses, and has been very successful. As is well known, he owns those two fine stallions ' 'Rod Chief' and "Margin." The latter is recognized as one of the best and most handsome horses ever brought to the State. He is seven years old, and was bred by Mr. J; C. McFerran; Louisville, Kentucky. At Chicago, Louisville, Augusta and Co? lumbia, "Margin" was awarded. First Prize as being the best standard bred stallion on exhibition. Among his othor .fine horses that especially struck onr fanfty were two fillies?"Fairy," four years bid, and "Bitten," three years old. The latter is standard registered, and was re? cently brought from Kentucky by Mr. Lewis. Both those fillies are as pretty as any picture of a horse we have ever seen. "Fairy" has received some training as a trotter, and she can. get over ground very rapidly. Both these fillies Mr Lewis prizes very. idghTy, and he ex? pects to breed from them.. He also has a very fine suckling colt, which he will trot against any colt of the same age in Geor? gia, South Carolina or North Carolina next year. Mr. Lewis is thoroughly posted in the horse business, and his reputation is extending throughout the adjoining States. We left Mr. Lewis's home Satur? day morning,? deeply regretting that our stay could not be prolonged. It was oar intention to have visited Ri voli Stock Farm, which is owned by Mr. 0. A. Bowen, but our time would not permit. Here we would have seen some more fine horses and a herd .of pretty Holstein cattle. We have promised to visit that section again, and we hope then to see this farm, This trip will long.be remembered as one of the most pleasant in our experience, and we desire to return' many thanks to Capt. Stribling and Mr. Lewis for. their kindness and the many favors shown us. We c pent a short time in Pendleton, and on every side we could see that ex? tensive preparations were being made for -the. meetings and exhibits to take place there on-. Tuesday^ Wednesday, and .Thursday of next week. The two first days, will, be devoted to the meetings of. the Staue Agricultural Society, and the last day will be given to the Fruit and Stock Show. The Pendleton Farmers' Society, which is the third oldest agricul? tural organization in the United States, is doing every thing possible for the success of the occasion, and has tendered its Hall for the display of the fruits and farm pro? ducts that-will bo exhibited. Messrs. H. S. Trescott, E. H. Shanklin and R. E. Sloan 'are in, charge of the fruit exhibit, and they desire every section of the Coun? ty to have some of its fruits on exhibition. Arrangements have been made with the Southern Express Company to forward all packages of frnit weighing less than twenty pounds to Pendleton free of cost, so there will be no excuse to keep your grapes, melons, peaches, etc., away. Direct your packages to Mr, G. Wanner, Secretary, Pendleton. It is proposed to perfect a permanent fruit growers' associ? ation during this exhibition, and we hope every citizen in this section who is Inter? ested in growing fruits will not only ex? hibit some of his products, bnt also attend the exhibition. The ladies propose having a floral ? exhibit at the same time, and 'floral specimens are invited from all sections. The Stock Show will perhaps be the most attractive feature of the occasion, and there will no doubt be a large num? ber on exhibition. It is a common thing at such exhibitions to hear persons re? mark that they have a colt, calf, horse, cow or something else at home that just beat anything on the ground. Now this Show Is a free thing all the way through, and as liberal premiums in cash will be paid, there is no excuse for not- exhibiting your fine stock. If you do not exhibit them it is not likely, that everybody will believe that they are quite so fine as rep? resented. Bring them outKbeat your man and take home the prize. Brasby Creek Items. It turns out that the Deacon referred to in onr last letter did not kill his cow with the rock. The rumor was current in this section, and we simply gave it as we had heard it. We regret that we mentioned it, and in justice to the gentleman we make this correction. Mrs. Corrie Burdine has been a great sufferer for several months with that ter? rible disease, cancer. Her friends deeply sympathize with her, and we hope she may soon find some relief. Mrs. Frankie Wyatt, who has been quite ill with fever, is slowly improving, and her friends hope sbe will soon be in her usual health. Mr. T. 8. Glenn has gone to Glenn Springs to recuperate his health. Bust or lice is damaging some of the cotton . crops in this neighborhood. It effects the cotton in a curious way. In some places it commences to form a web under the leaves, and then red spots ap? pear on the top of them, and finally leaves, squares and bolls all fall off. Mr. Fred. Bagwell has several acres that are mined by it. Protracted meeting season is now on us. One is in progress at Pisgah. Miss Anna Scott, a charming young lady from the city, is visiting her siater, Mrs. Ida Scott. Dr. James 0. Rosamond is an inventor as well aEi a good physician. He invented an instrument with which ho extracted a cherry seed from Mrs. James Merritt's child's nose. Several distinguished phy? sicians had failed to get the seed out. Brushy. ? Belton Items. Tuesday last we joined the delegates from Belton to the Sunday School Insti? tute at Hppewell Church. After a pleas out drive of two hours through excellent farming districts, where are as fine crops as can be seen in the State, and probably the best prospect this County has ever had at this time of the year, we took on a fresh stock of bright spirits and were in the proper mood to enjoy, with the good people of Hopewell, the most interesting and ^profitable sessions of the Sunday School Institute since its organization. President Hiott was at his post and pro? ceeded to work with as much readiness as though it were his daily occupation. He had exercised good taste and judgment in the selections for discussion, and the ap? pointed speakers, by their ready responses .when called, bore evidence of the interest manifested. Nearly all the subjects were discussed. The large attendance and the bountiful preparations for the comfort and enjoyment of the delegates proved that the interest was not confined to the speakers nor to the members only of the . Institute. The very best order wa3 pre-' served, notwithstanding everybody tried to crowd into the house to gather a share of ihe benefits to be derived from ihe In-' stitute papers read, and the pithy speeches and pertinent remarks. Dr. Griffith and Dr. Bailey were present and took part in the discussions; besides both preached . excellent sermons.. Bev. A. A, Marshall, of Anderson, and the Bev. E. C. Bice, of Ninety-Six- attended, and both preached greatly appreciated sermons?the latter on Wednesday night, the former Thurs? day. The.Grady pio nio drew away some and kept oil many on Wednesday; nevertheless the house was full. It was the good fortune of the Belton delegates and of ours, too, to be assigned to Mr. Thomas Bolt, son of Anderson's worthy Sheriff. It had not been our pleasure to know him before, but the warm welcome ?at his home made the entire delegation feel like they were enjoying hospitalities prepared for friends of long standing and much respected, and to whom the best of everything was due and could not be supplied too lavishly. Surely Mr. Bolt had made extra efforts for this occasion in more than one way. When he planted, and all the time of cultivating his crops of corn, cotton, garden vegetables and watermelons, and caring-for his fruit crop he must have been striving to outdo his neighbors. In most of theso he excels, "too. His cotton is the best we saw away from Ballon. We were sorry when the time of taking leave came, and shall some time take advantage of -he very cordial invitation to repeat our visit to Hopewell. The programme was finished in two days, and the Institute adjourned to meet at Honea Path. All the delegates were earnestly requested to remain during the following day as Rev. A. A. Marshall would be there and, after he should de? liver his rich tribute, it was desired to spend the remainder of the day in pleas? ant informal talks. After a lively inter? change of good-humored wit and amus? ing oxooses, it was decided to allow the delegates to go home. Everybody felt that Hopewell had done well its part; and we came away wishing that some of her people would come down to be en? rolled on Belton's list- of useful and plucky citizens. Rain, rain, rain! Belton gets a shower every day. Some farmers report consider? able damage, by overflows, to corn on bottom lands. Mr. B. B.. Breazeale and Mr. L. E. Campbell were in town Monday and etate that damages on Broadaway Creek are i moderate on their respective plantations, but heavier on others. It is not easy to estimate such while the corn 3s young and growing. Where it has not been pulled out of the noil we hope nobody will suffer severely, as the continuous showers will wash off the coat of mud and may restore the plant to a healthy condi? tion, These gentlemen say that crops were never finer in the neighborhood. We regret that lack of time prevented farther conversation with them. Both told some (intertainingstories-of iho earlier days of Belton. We shall seek an opportunity to hear farther facts. ? Saturday night Mrs. Judge Jeffrey, of Cnlpepper, Va., lost by on attack of cholera infantum little Lucy, age nine months, the idol of the family and the pet of the many friends of Mrs. Jeffrey and of her step? father, Mr. B. B. Breazeale, and of Mr. 0. K. Breazeale, at whose residence she was visiting. The sudden death of the Hit tie one, almost without warning, abruptly terminated a visit that was especially de? lightful to the relatives and dear friends of this devoted bat now bereft mother. Those .who saw her Monday starting to.carry home to her husband their lifeless darling deeply sympathized with her, but were pe? culiarly impressed with what nobleness of Christian fortitude she bore up under the burden of grief, and how bravely she fought against yielding to the promptings of her almost broken heart, and refrained from seeking relief by open demonstra? tions of her grief, in order to spare her many friends who had attended her from Mr. O. K. Breazeale's to the depot here. Ii; is no wonder that sue was captured in Virginia. Though a school-girl, yet Mr. Jeffrey (now Judge Jeffrey) was fortunate enough to detect her noble traits of charac? ter, and soon after her graduation in col? lege there, he came to claim the luokily won prize, and thereby added another ply to the strong cord that the trials of the civil war created and caused to bind in everlast? ing friendship the hearts of patriotic Vir? ginians and Carolinians. Mr. 0. B. Lewis has apprehended and sent to jail three colored men, charged with burning his barn some weeks ago. Mr. A. C. Latimer returned from the State Alliance meeting in Columbia last ? Friday,"and reports the Alliance prospects bright. On Tuesday Mr. J. W. Poore is expected home from Lancaster. A telegram to Mr. E. H. Poore states that Mrs. Wiliiams is a little better. We hope to hear still more cheering news when he arrives. Miss Mamie Miller, of Greenville, and Mrs. Gossie VanGilder have been visiting the family of Mrs. Anna L. Brown. . Bev. E. C. Rice, well Icnown by almost the entire County, closed his flourishing school near Ninety-Six and passed through Belton last Tuesday on his way to the Sun? day School Institute. His Churches there having given him a shoit vacation, he will spend the time among relatives, friends and members of Churches of which he was once pastor. Mr. Bice is a tireless worker, and by the complimentary reports from the districts where he has been laboring for several years, we judge that many youths will rejoice, in days to come, over the suc? cesses to which they were directed by his teaching. The banner County of the State will do well to add to its teachers' roll such teachers, the report of whoBe success goes out as a result of the actual work done in the school room. We were glad to catch a glimpse of S. S. Crittenden, Jr., of Greenville, and of Capt. W. C. McGowan, of Abbeville. A word now and then from them keeps the "blues" at a respectable distance. These rainy days afford our farmers much leisure and their faces are seen in town more frequently; but they have been so ac? customed to hurry back to their attractive crop3 that we can scarcely get a word with them. See here, Messrs. J. T. Green, Doc. Green; Wm. Geer, Reed Campbell, F. Clink scales, Ransom Harris and_ others, why don't you stop and give the news ? We saw you running off. You will have to talk one of these days when you chance to be caught alone. Mr. G. P. Brownlee, now of Dalton, Ga., is here for a week or two. His friends were glad to see him. He reports crops good from Dalton to Belton. Says his move will make him gainer the first year. Mr. A. N. Todd has returned from a two weeks' trip oyer the Blue.Ridge. We fear he is in love with North. Carolina. He talks too much about her. Can't allow him to go again till he recovers from effects of this trip. Belton might' be forced to hunt up a substitute for him. A good one can't be found in a moment. Through the kindness of Mr. A. B. Cox we received the invitation of the Principal of Cedar Grove School to its closing-exer? cises next Saturday. We hope to be able to attend. A copy of the sprightly Jacksonville (Tex.) Banner has fallen into my possession. Its editor, John MoFarland, is only seven? teen years of age, and said to be the young? est editor in the State. His grandfather, Flectwood Rice, was once a resident of An? derson County, and a relati ve of the Rices and Deans. There are few John McFar lands, Kappa. Honea Path Itoma. Prof. A. J. Showalter, the celebrated teacher of vocal and instrumental music, is to begin a singing school here on Au? gust 7th, and continue for twenty days. This is a rare opportunity for this section of country, and we hope that there will be a large attendance. Some from a distance haye engaged board already. The addition to the school house has been completed. We are authorized to annouuee that thero will be a meeitng at the school house on Thursday, August 1st, at 4 o'clock p. m. This will be a very important meeting, and we earnestly re? quest a full attendance. , J. L. Eskew, a pupil of the Honea Path High School, was one of the four success ful competitors for the Peabody Scholar? ship. The number of applicants was forty five. A school is best known by tho boys and girls it sends out. Three young ladies were baptized at Broadmouth Church last Sunday. A revi? val meeting is in progress there this week. The pastor has the assistance of Rev. G. M. Rogers. Rev. D. W. Hiott is assisting in a revi? val meeting at First Creek, and Rev. M. McGee is conducting a meeting at Colum? bia Church, in Greenville County. We are requested to announce that on Friday, August 2nd, at 10 o'clock a. m., there.will be a joint meeting in the school house here of the Honea Path, Saluda and Rock Spring Alliances. Mr, and Mrs. G. Y. Moore are visiting relatives and friends in Laurens County. Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Bates, of Green? ville, are visiting the family of Rev. M. McGee. It was our pleasure last week to attend the Sunday School Institute at Hopewell. The exercises were very good, indeed, and we had quite a pleasant time.

Shirley's new brick store is nearly completed. Miss Leora Harper is visiting relatives in Greenville County. We wish her a pleasant time. We have a Lawn Tennis set, bnt don't know much about how to use it Pop. Fork Items. The great "Grady Day" is passed and gone and will be rememberod many years by those who had the pleasure of attend? ing, and will be handed down rbr genera? tions to come. The crowd was estimated at five thousand and the order was very good. It was reported that men, women and children were killed and drowned, but we are glad to say such reports were groundless. The dinner was sufficient for all and more besides. Impression is, that the Hartwell "boy" band is entitled to the "blue ribbon." The speeches were the finest we ever heard. Married, at the residence of the bride's brother, July 24th, by Rev. J. R. Earle, Mr. Mortimer Durham and Miss Mollie Hembree, all of this County. May pros? perity attend the happy couple through life is the wish of their many friends. Capt. V. F. Martin and wife are on a visit to this section and will remain a few days with friends. The Captain will locate at Walhalla. By way of suggestion, I say Mr. "Burke" ought t o stand to his promise. The good people of Andersonville did not kiaow that Rev, Carswell had to be car? ried to his appointment; if they had they surely- would have met him at the ap? pointed time and place. Rev. W. H. King will conduct a pro? tracted meeting, commencing the second Sunday in August, at Andersonville. It is to be hoped that much good will be accomplished at this meeting. "Miss S. J. MoLain, an accomplished lafy, has opened another school at Shady Giroye Academy. The people are fortu h&te in their choice of a teacher. The Misses McLains have been teaching at the above named place about five years. The crops are the finest we have seen fo:r years. Though the cotton is somewhat scattering, in some places, it is very fine. Corn is also good, and if the seasons con? tinue a largo yield is expected. Mrs. Ray and the children are from home on a visit, and the old man is chief cook. Come over, Mr. Editor, I will do the best I can for you. Had a little- left over from the "Grady pic nie." Ray. Pendleton Items. - "Head that mule! stop that mule!" were the cries that broke the monotony of the day on Wednesday afternoon last. His muleship had a buggy attached to him, and was off for a race down the street, and nothing short of a post could Btop him. After upsetting the buggy and turning a somersault, he lay as meek and quiet, as a lamb. As is usually the case, the mule waj unhurt, and is ready for another run, but the buggy will require the manipula? tions of a skillful' workman before it will be in running order. Mr. and Mis. Bostick and their little boy, from Shelby, N.O., are visiting the family of Mr. J, D. Smith, and Bey.

His is a face that bespeaks immense latent power. This number also contains ii double-page illustration of Johnstown, Pa., showing the work of restoration, and another timely editorial on "The Horrors of African Slave-trade." Glimpses of Mount M'Gregor and Saratoga give a sum? mer aspect to the paper. Among the Trusts. Coltjmb?S. GA., July 26.?A formal proposition has been made to many leading Southern cotton mills by a syn? dicate of English and Eastern capitalists for the purchase of their plants with a view of combining interests in one cen? tral trust company, in the same manner that cotton seed, oil mills have heretofore combined. The letters of proposals are now in tho hands of various mill owners in this city. No steps have been taken, but there is no knowing of the final result. ? About two billion postage stampa are used in the United States yearly. THE FARMERS IN PHALANX. A SolIU Front Presented by tho State Al? liance. Columb'a, July 25.?The Alliance re? assembled in the Agricultural Hall this morning at nine o'clock. President Stackhouse presided. The Rev. Dr. Douglass, the chaplain, led the Alliance in prayers. Vice President Sojourner presided during the greater part of the day. The entire morning session was devoted to the consideration of the plan for an Alliance Exchange. To show the disposition of the house on this question a motion was made and passed allowing each county the privilege of two speeches of fifteen minutes each. There was considerable opposition to tbe plan pro? posed by the executive committee, which was, however, substantially adopted. A number of the delegates were oppos? ed to the idea of the establishment of an exchange. The opposition wsb led by Messrs. Dargan and Norris. Mr. Dargan thought that production and not distri? bution was the scope of the farmer, and be thought suitable arrangements could otherwise be made. He advised postpo ing action until another time, as the Al? liance at present should not undertake too heavy a load. But he was perfectly willing to abide by the decision of the body and do all he could to carry out its purposes. The Hon. Jeremiah Smith thought that tbe Alliance members had sent them to the State Alliance to adopt some such measure, and should they not adopt such a measure, the ?'Subs" would be disap? pointed. Lecturer Talbert, of Texas, thought that South Caroliina should take her Btand with the sister States, and was anxious to see this State adopt a plan for an ex? change. Tbe Hon. M. L. Donaldson, of Green? ville, thought that the exchange should be adopted. Col. D. K, Norris thought the plan too complicated, and that the Alliance was not yet ready to undertake the move; though, if adopted, he would support it. The plan adopted is identical with that of Texas and Georgia. The question ! of tbe Alliance Exchange has undoubt? edly been the great issue of the present Convention. The following is substantially the plan adopted: ; plan for an alliance exchange. I Article 1. The name of the corporation shall be the "Farmers' Alliance Exchange f of South Carolina, limited," and by that name it shall have power and authority to exist and enjoy succession for the full term of ninety-nine years. j Article 2.

No stockholder shall ever be held liable or responsible for the contracts or faults of this corpora? tion in any further sum than the unpaid balance due on the shares of stock held by him, nor shall any mere informality in organization have the effect of render? ing this charter null, or of exposing a stockholder to any liability beyond the amount of his stock. Article 5. Subscription to shares of capital stock shall be made by Sub-Alli? ances and not by individuals. Applica? tions for shares of stock must be- accom? panied by 25 per cent, in cash of the amount o?*tock subscribed, the balance to be paid when called for; when certificate of stock shall be issued as soon as tbe full amount subscribed for shall be paid for.

Article 7. Each Sub-Alliance taking stock in this corporation shall be entitled to one trustee stockholder, who shall be elected annually at the time of the regular election of officers. The first trustee stockholder shall be elected by each Sub-Alliance when it decides to subscribe for stock, and shall serve till the next annual election. He shall represent his Alliance in the meetings of trustee stockholders from and for all the Sub Alliances in that county, and shall be entitled to as many votes as he represents ahares of stock.

The State trustee stockhold? ers shall hold an annual meeting at the same time and place as the Farmers' State Alliance of South Carolina, Provi? ded, that the board of directors shall have the power to call a meeting whenever in their judgment it is neces? sary.

Mr. Beoj. Terrell, who spoke yesterday before the Alliance, is the lecturer of the Farmers' National Alliance and co-oper? ative Union of America, and by virtue of his office as national organizer installed the< newly-elected officers of the State Alliance. Mr. Terrell, on invitation, delivered an address on the works and results of the order. He suggested that it was absolutely necessary that the farmers organize themselves as all other classes had done. Heretofore the farmers had been entirely unorganized, to their own detriment. Once organized it is necessary to preserve a unit in all things. He thought the farmers should adopt as their motto, "Eight and justice to all, special privile? ges to none." He emphasized the fact that the farmers were not united to oppress or fight the merchants or any other class, but merely for self-protection. He was proud of being from the State of Texas, which had organized the Farmers' Alliance. He had, he said, travelled over nearly all the cotton States, and in the entire district the people expressed themselves as hopeful of the success of the Alliance and its work. He claimed that the Alliance in Texas had through its business reduced 'he jprices on many articles extensively used. He favored State exchanges and thought the Allian? ces would partly be a failure if this fea? ture were not incorporated in the Alliance work. By means of exchanges goods can be handled at first cost. Mr. Terrell thought the farmers should strive to conduct their business on a cash basis. He hoped Carolina farmers would discard jute bagging. By tbe use of cotton bag; ging the farmer would create a demand for his own product. Mr. Terrell said that he had heard from reliable authority that the cotton bagging mills were now in full operation and would in all proba? bility furnish all the cotton covering needed. afternoon session. The Alliance convened for its after dinner session at 3.30 o'clock, with Vice President Sojourner in the chair. The committee on the cotton bagging question made their report, in which the stand taken by tbe State Alliance was heartily endorsed. Tbe committee on consolidation report? ed that they had just received a telegram from the Tennessee Alliance announcing that they had ratified the plan of consoli? dation with the Agricultural Wheel. Mr. Talbert offered a resolution in sub? stance as follows: Resolved, That we, tbe members of the State Alliance, in convention assembled, do earnestly appeal to every Sub-Alliance in the State to make every effort to secure the use of cotton bagging, and that they use only cotton ; or if a sufficient quanti? ty cannot, be obtained, then they use any other substitute from Btraw, or even common homespun, or anything but jute. . Strong resolutions were adopted com? mending the Cotton Plant newspaper, of Greenville, and recommending it to the members in this State. The constitution for the consolidation of the Joint Alliance and Wheel was adopted by a vote of 23 to 12. The ratification of this caused considerable discussion. The action of the several counties in reference to the cotton bagging waB heartily endorsed. Their action second? ed the Alliance's fight against jute. A letter from Capt. W. C. Coker, Presi? dent of the Darlington Cotton Factory, was read. He offers to buy cotton cover? ed with any material weighing not over three quarters of a pound per yard and protected. He says: "I will have no objection to allowing the additional price suggested by the Augusta Convention, ten centB per hundred pounds. The judicial committee was appointed for the next year, as follows: M. L. Donaldson, J. Stoney Porcher and W. D. Evans. M. L. Donaldson was elected business manager and will have charge of the Alliance store. Delegates to the National Convention were elected to the meeting to be held at St. Louis. The representatives are: W. J. Talbert, D. K. Norris, T. P. Mitchell, and J. E. Jarnigan and A. P. Butler alternates. Resolutions of thanks were offered to Mr. Terrell for his interest in the Alli? ance. The next annual Convention will be held in Greenville during the next summer. cotton sacks. The Alliance seem determined to push their jute fight, and passed resolutions, to wit: Resolved, That we recommend to our County Alliances the passage of a resolu. tion to use no fertilizers not put up in cotton sacks. Col. Butler introduced this resolution, which was passed: Resolved, That we demoralize the Legislature to pass an anti trust law similar to such laws passed by Kansas, Missouri and other States. The State Convention endorsed the action of the national cotton bagging committee and promised to do all they conld to carry out its purposes. The Convention adjourned at 10.30 O'clock. CRIMES AND CASUALTIES. Eock Hill,S. C, July 22.?Mrs. John D. Collins, who resided near Harmony Church, cut her throat with a razor this morning, inflicting a wound which, caused her death. She had beea sick for several weeks. Her little child reached her bedside just as she madia the fatal stroke, but was too late to arrest it, as tbe death wound had been received. Mr. and Mrs. Collins were well known in our town, the latter being a sister of Mr. Henry Fudge, of this place. Mrs. Collins'leaves a devoted husband and four children. Louisville, Ky.. July 24.?Ben Bates while umpiring a ball game near Owens boro for two clubs of boys made a de? cision to which Frank Morris, who waB at the bat, objected. A bitter quarrel ensued resulting in Bates fatally stabbing Morris with a pocket knife. He was ar? rested and Morris soon died. Bates is but sixteen years old. Baltimore, July 2G.?An act of almost unparalleled fortitude was that of Carpenter John Myers, which will probably end in the death of that brave man. Myers was at work this morning on a building when a gasoline stove ex? ploded within and the dwelling was threa? tened with fire. He rushed into the bouse, grasped the stove, around which the flames were leaping, and raising it to his shoulders ran out into the street. The gasoline poured down his back and arms and soon the flames were burning bis fiesb, but be clung to his fiery burden until he had conveyed it where it could do no further damage. Bystanders ex? tinguished the flames. His back and arms were literally roasted and blood ran in streams from his burned body. There is little hope for his recovery. New York, July 23.?In the Court of Oyer and Terminer to-day Charles Gib len and Fred Carolin were sentenced to be hanged on August 23. Judige Van Brunt sentenced Carolin and Judge Bar? rett pronounced his doom of Giiblen. This will make five men who are to be execu? ted in the Tombs on the same day. The others are James Nolan, John Lewis and Patrick Packerham. Knoxville, July 27.?Prof. J. W. Howell, a well known educator of But ledge, Tennessee, is dying of hydrophobia. He was bitten thirteen years ago by a black and tan terrier, I AtjotJSTA, Ga., July 25,1889?Judson Rountree, the fourteen-year-old boh of Col. M. A. Rountree, of Augusta, went over to Bock Island about a month ago to visit his uncle, Mr. Frank Dunbar, Of late Mr. Dunbar's watermelon patch has been frequently robbed by negroes. Young Judson said he would like to get a shot at the thieves, and bis young com? panions resolved to play a joke on mm. One night last week the boys loaded an old gun with blank cartridges, and one of them went into the patch with Judson to watch for the thieves. The boys told Judson that the negroes were desperate and danger dus, and if they were not killed instantly, or disabled they would ruBh upon and revenge themselves on anybody shooting at tbem. In the meantime several of the other boys blacked their faces and went into the melon patch, in sight and in range of the young sentinels. As Boon as Judson saw the boys with black faces he fired at them, but as the cartridges were blank, of course they took no effect. Judson saw the suppos? ed robbers quickly advancing upon him, and remembering what the boys had told him about the negroes being desperate and revengeful, and seeing that his com? panion had run away, he was badly fright? ened and ran to the house. The terrible fright brought on a delirious fever from which he died oh Friday night last. Birmingham, Ala., July 25.? Twenty-three murder cases and three rape cases, making twenty-six capital cases, are set for trial at tbe present term of the criminal court, and the grand jury, now in session, is grinding out in? dictments for murder at the rate of two per day. In addition to these cases there are four persons in the county jail who have been sentenced to death and have appealed to the supreme court. A large number of murder mysteries have recent? ly been' cleared up and the guilty parties arrested, and at least twenty hangings are expected to take place during the next six or eight months. About six weeks ago D. A. Pettus, a white man, was robbed and murdered in this city. To? day Charles Lewis, Isaac and R >:,??; Elmore, colored, were indicted Jor the murder. A nephew of Isaac Elmore testified that he overheard his uncle tell ing about the crime, and give the name of his . accomplices. The twenty-three murder cases on the docket will begin Monday with the trial of Fannie Bryant, the supposed accomplice of Dick Hawes, in tbe murder of his family. Ed Rack ley, a member of the Simpson faction in the bloody Simpson-How ten vendettii, has been indicted for murder and is in jail. Augusta, Ga., July 24.?Augusta was again treated to a sensation to-night and another pretty young widow and a cow? hide figured prominently. About 7 o'clock to night Mrs. Phiny Jackson, n young widow lady, who lives on the cor? ner of Jackson and King street, went alone to the Georgia Railroad, where Mr. George Perry works, and, after call nig him out and having a few minutes' con? versation with him, commenced using a cowhide pretty freely on the gentleman, who bad been in the habit of visiting her. After the difficulty your correspondent called on Mrs. Jackson and asked her what was the cause of the trouble. She very coolly answered that Mr. Perry had been talking scandalously about her to a gentleman to whom she was engaged to be married and also to other parties, and she called on him this evening, and after demanding satisfaction and failing to get it, she brought tbe cowhide into use. While Mr. Perry was not disfigured, still he did not like the embarrassing position he was placed in. He managed to take the cowhide from Mrs. Jackson after she had struck him several blows, but he did not use tbe whip in return. The case has been-reported at police headquarters, and will be investigated by the Court to? morrow. ? Dr. Nansen, the explorer, says that the ice in Greenland is 6,000 feet thick. WARNING.
