"The low price ja and the consequences likely to It therefrom," was a subject that re Irod discussion, and the following res? olution was unanimously adopted; i'Qjfaeked, Thar, the society of South Carolina, realizing fully the necessity for a decrease in the cotton acreage and the 'inauguration of a greater diversity in the ' icultojal pursuits of the South, does eby pledge its best efforts to the ac DmpMshment of such a result. That we leartilvjandorse the call for a convention fecotton growera to be held at Atlanta oMhe first Wednesday in September, is ^led^th?SUto Farmers'Alliance, and [will send delegates thereto." ^In' accordance with this resolution ;tw'ehty delegates were appointed to rep? resent 'this Society at the cotton conven? tion in Atlanta. The delegates from the District ard^MesEie. J. W, Shelor, omas W. Hollo way and 0. A. Bowen. It will be seen, that this convention contemplates the discussion of two mat of vital importance to the farmer, ... a discussion of the cotton acreage id'a greater diversity in crops. To us 'the solution of over-production and low prices of cotton seems to lie in a diversi ?Ta what extent a convention ^Sswwjw[can remedy this matter, le^eja^n??' &Tetoli?\Each farmer^cpn pracaeally relieve the situation, in so far ???g? ?? ???BMC? is he is individually concerned, by mak ng his supplies at home. That makes aim independent of the low price of cot? ton and would obviate any possible ne? cessity for a sub-treasury. * However, when a man has raised at home all the flour, meat and corn he needs, so that his meat-house is no longer in Chicago, nor his wheat bin and corn crib in St. Paul and Cincinnati ?when he no longer pays tribute to the western farmer for his daily bread?then Bvery pound of cotton made puts money in his pocket, unless the cost of produc? tion is greater than the price paid for the cotton. Should some of the present cotton area be turned into pasture and a few colts and calves raised thereon, the Western horse and hog would not drain so many hard earned dollars from our pockets. Where corn and peas and clover and the maizes, millets and grasses thrive, it is not hard to raise stock and cattle, and keep them fat, as the writer knows from expe? rience. We are encouraged to look for an era of independence which the farmers of the South have never known, if they will devote less attention to cotton and more to other crops. We hope good reBults will flow from the cotton convention. No one need wait until all the farmers agreed to plant less cotton, however. As we said above, each man can solve the problem for himself by raising his own supplies, for then he can hold his cotton, or sell, as it suits him. COMPETING WITK SOUTHERN COT? TON. India, Egypt and the Transvaal will add this, year about 25 per cent, to their year's crop of cotton. When we consider the growing demand for Egyptian cotton in this country to be used in the finer fabrics, it is plain that southern cotton planters should take steps to improve the general quality of their staple. The New York Dry Goods Econ? omist calls attention to the danger from this foreign cotton. It says: ' It is too late to make a diversion in the planting by directing attention to the growth of a larger quantity of the Allan or Peeler cotton. But with the efforts of other nations to grow a portion, if not all their cotton, this early opportunity is im? proved to remind cotton planters throughout the South that competition is being fostered to their disadvantage, and they cannot be too. quick in devising measures for a more extensive growth of the Allan cotton, and any other fine, long and colored staple that will answer in the place of the Egyptian. There is ample time before the planting of another orop to secure much necessary data and seed, and we feel confident with proper care extended in the direction suggested the benefits arising from a successful growth of the long combing staple would be very remunerative to the planters, while it would confer a boon . upon the cotton manufacturing industry of this country. The following from the Boston Journal of Commerce is on the same line: The cultivation of longer-stapled cot? ton?one and one-eighth and one and one quarter inches in length?should be a desideratum among southern planters of the highest importance, the spinning of finer yarns in northern mills, and the re? quirements for a cotton that will give Nos. 40 to 60, creating a domestic de? mand for long stapled cotton which southern planters should heed. We ought to raise in the south the cotton that is being imported from Egypt in largely increasing quantities. To do so will require constant attention in the selection of seeds for planting, and the best of cultivation on well prepared soil. Planters have objected to the cultivation of extra-stapled cotton, because of the additional care demanded and the less percentage of lint in the yield of seed cotton. Whatever the disadvantages may be in this respect the better price which the cotton commands ought to more than compensate for any differences. The Bichmond Times remarks that the situation is rendered the more serious be? cause no duty has been imposed on im? ported cotton. This is because American cotton is exclusively a product of the South, and only southern people can be injured by foreign competitors. All the other staples are protected, such as wheat and corn, iu the cultivation of which northern republicans are engaged. Then the McKinley tariff reduces the duty on the coarser grades of cotton gods, these being the grades largely manufactured in the south, while the duties on finer fabrics are increased for the benefit of northern manufacturers. Competition -abroad and robbery at home threatens the southern planters, and it is time for them to be up and doing. Congressman THlman on the Warpath. Parksytlle, Edgefield County, August 4.?A meeting of the neighboring Alliances was appointed for Parksville in order to meet the district lecturer, John T. Gas ton, of Aiken, to-day. The Gov? ernor and the Hon. G. D. Tillman were also invited to be present. The morning train brought only the Hon. G. P. Till? man as the orator of the day. The meet? ing was composed of the representatives from Eehoboth, Bed Hill, Modoc and Plum Branch Alliances. Promptly at 11 o'clock Mr. T. P. Rob? ertson, president of the Parksville Alli? ance arose, and in a few appropriate re? marks nominated Mr. W. L. Holmes, of the Bed Hill Alliance, for chairman of the meeting. Mr. Holmes took the chair and called upon the Bev. Mr. H. Pooser, who offered an appropriate prayer for the occasion. Mr. Holmes then introduced to the audience the Hon. G. D. Tillman, who expressed himself as being glad of the opportunity to meet the neighboring Alliances. He wished he had a larger audience of those who had been deluded by tramp orators and aspiring demagogues. He wa^ always ready to express himself on any subject, He had had the confidence of the people for thirty-seven years, and had never asked for an office that had not been given him, iu consequence of which he would be a knave were he to withhold the truth from the people. He caid there was pecuniary distress in the land, and there were four or five causes for it. First of which was the growing of too much cotton. To-day there are 1,000,000 bales of surplus cotton?the market glutted. Is the Government responsible for this ? He saw a letter from Stokes this morning iu which Stokes said the sub-treasury Dill is defunct. People had no right to ask the Government to help them out of trouble they had brought on themselves. There is no remedy except in your own actions. The remedy must be brought about by voluntary action among yourselveB in limiting the number of acreB planted in cotton. You may ask what can I do but plant cotton ? There is always sale for a fat pig or a good mule, etc. The second cause of distress lies in the fact that you and your fathers were on the wrong side of the late war. The United States pays $120,000,000 for pen? sions, most of which goes to the men who conquered you. The merchant is the Government tax collector. Here he ex? plained the tariff. He denounced indirect taxation. Taxes, if honestly disbursed, do not impoverish a people much, but pensioning your conquerors doea, He paid his respects to the Ocala plat? form. All that is in it that is worth any? thing is stolen from the Democratic par? ty* The fourth cause of hard times is scarcity of money. One-third of all the money in circulation is expended fox taxes. We need one thousand million greenbacks more in circulation. He at? tacked the national banks. He paid his compliments to Macune. He said God Almighty never made a grauder sconn drei. If the Alliance in the South wants to serve its friends at the North let it give their support to Campbell, of Ohio. As long as the Alliance confined itself to business and social advancement he was for it, hut Bince it had gone into politics he was against it. He denounced Sena? tor Peffer as an ex-chicken thief and hater of Southern men. He paid his re? spects to the Third Party. If the Cauca? sian race divide hell will yawn to receive them. The Third Party is projected by political assassins and culprits. Macune injected the sub-treasury bill for a base purpose. He is an Ex-Republican and a scurvy politician. He would tell him so if he was here. I expect to tell him so through the public prints. The above is a mere synopsis of Mr. Tillman's speech. Before ho had closed County Lecturer Bean came in. He was introduced by the Chair. While he differed from the Hon. G. D. Tillman, the Alliance owed Col. Tillman more than any other one man. He believed the Alliance has done good in educating the people. He did not be? lieve in the Third Party, although he had a right to join any party he saw fit. He spoke of Haskell's party as a Thirty Par? ty. He did not regard his own opinion with reference to the sub-treasury worth much. We need more money in circula? tion, and how can we get it there ? Cal houn thought that the per capita ought to be between $30 and $35, and the Alli? ance thinks it ought to be $50. He reci? ted some historical facts to show that the per capita ought to be increased. He defended the sub-treasury bill, hut said in his opinion he thought it rather too big an experiment. He thonght the ag? itation bad done good and would do good. The Hon. G. D. Tillman replied to him in a few apt remarks, after which the meeting adjourned.?Special to the Is'cws and Courier. An Enorinons Crop Yield. Reports received in this city from the great agricultural sections of the country indicate that the crops for the present year will be unprecedented in their yield. The great wheat fields of the West and Northwest have exceeded the expecta? tions of the most sanguine in their prom? ise, aud should the weather continue favorable for a few days longer, to per? mit of the harvesting of the spring wheat, the granaries of the West will fairly bulge with their contents, and their ca? pacity will he taxed to the uttermost. Plentiful crops are invariably a harbin? ger of a revival and activity in trade, and already there are evidences that the immense crops of this year will be re? flected in an increased volume of business throughout the entire country. For the past fiscal year ended June 30, 1891, the exports amounted to $840, 000,000 and the exports to $880,000,000, a balance in favor of this country of $40,000,000. With the great crops in this country and the scanty yield in the great Russian wheat belt, the exports especi? ally in the matter of cereals, are destined to far surpass those of the past year, and the balance of trade in favor of this country will doubtless far exceed that of last year. Cotton, the great staple of the South, seems to have joined in a rivalry with the cereals, and a crop estimated at 8,000,000 bales is predicted. The follow? ing letter from an agent who has traveled throughout the greater portion of the agricultural section of the West and Northwest, and who has been a close observer of the crop conditions, will prove interesting: "I returned last evening from a fifteen days', journey throughout the States of Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michi? gan, Iowa and Nebraska, which I made for the purpose of investigating, as far as possible, the probable outturn of the small grain and corn crops of this great grain-growing region. "I have made this trip by daylight, and, after seeing what I have, and from the numerous inquiries made at various points throughout this territory, I have arrived at (be following conclusion: The yield of winter wheat exceeds all expectations, and should - the weather from this out prove favorable for the harvesting of the spring wheat and the yield come up to the recent estimates, I expect to see the combined total of the winter and spring wheat crops in this country reach 650,000,000 bushels, "I make this statement, fully realizing the fact that many will think the above figures too high; but it is my honest opinion that in the end they will be found too low. The trade as yet fails to realize-the magnitude of this crop, as will be ascertained later on. "The same cau be said of oats, but not to so great an extent. The oat crop is much better thau generally expected, and in my judgment will reach a total exceeding 700,000,000 bushels. "Ab to corn. When I started out on this trip I was of the impression that the country had not the promise of even an average crop. After making these rounds, however, I am of a very differeut opinion, and believe that with seasonable weather from now until September 15, the country has a promise of one of the largest crops ever raised, not falling un 2,000,000,000 of bushels, "I have arrived at these figures after having made due allowance for damage done to the growing crops throughout this (Nebraska) and other Western States by excessive rains, and. on the other hand for the lack of moisture in the isolated localities of Indiana and one or two other States. "In conclusion I may say that the hay crop is a large one throughout the coun? try. Pasturage was seldom better than now at this season of the year. At pres? ent values for above staples, coupled with the enormous foreign demand, a pros? perous year, to the writer, seems assured. ?Philadelphia Record. Twenty Thonsand Short. Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 10?The Journal this afternoon prints a sensation in Al? liance circles. J. O. Wynne, of the Geor? gia State Alliance Exchange, is over $20,000 short in his accounts. The direc? tors appointed W. A. Broughton, treas? urer of the Exchange, to examine his books and the shortage was discovered. Wynne is under $50,000 bonds. The bondsmen will arrange to pay the short? age. The Exchange claims that the shortage is an out and out defalcation. Wynne makes a statement that the shortage is due to clerical errors and the loss of vouchers. The Negro Alliance. Richmond, Va., August lo.?The Colored Farmers' Alliance of Virginia, which has been in session in this city since Saturday morning, adjourned to? night after a most interesting convention. State officers were re-elected and various Committees appointed. The committee on legislation made a plausible report, which waa adopted. The paper asserts that the Alliance is now beginning to realize that the salva? tion of the colored man rests not in either of the old political parties, and that he is no longer a slave to them. The report continues In this vein : "We are uniting to protect ourselves and wives and chil? dren, and to build up enterprises among ourselves, and thus free the toiling masses of our race from the deadly fangs of mo? nopolies, rluga and trust companies. "Furthermore, we cannot, as an organ? ization, act with any party that will not acGord to us the rights and privileges guaranteed by thp articles of agreement drawn up and adopted by the Gcala con? vention." TpLEpo, Ohio., Aug. 8?A Lima, O., special to the Bee gives particulars of a most daring robbery that occurred at Co? lumbus Grove at 8:30 o'clock this morn? ing. Cashier T. J. Maple was just open? ing the Exchange bank, when a stranger entered the door and fired two shots at the cashier, who fell wounded in the arm and right Bide. A farmer named William Vandebark, who was in the bank was shot dead. The desperado then grabbed $1,500 in money from the bank, shoutipg, as heran, "I'm a second Jes3e James."

Editor The Slate: In the last few days I have seen the crops along twenty-five miles of the public roads through some of the best farming sections of the county and was struck with the good corn and pea crops. Wherever corn has been properly worked it is fine, and even where very poorly cultivated, will make a good yield. This is attributed to the abundant rains that began abont the earing time, and have prevailed ever since. It is safe to say that most farm? ers who planted with any intention of producing their breadstuffs at home, will not be disappointed. The cotton crop, where it has been kept clean of grass, is making a fine show in weed; but the excessive rains in moBt localities have caused it to shed its forms and young fruit to an alarming extent. It is noticeable, however, that where deep, preparation and heavy manuring prevailed, the loss from this cause will be much less than on badly prepared and lightly manured lands. This is contrary to the usually accepted theory among farmers, and is worthy of careful study by them. With the uncer? tain, inefficient and high priced labor that most of them have to put up with, it behooves them to radically reform the old system of planting as much laud as can possibly bo.worked under most fa? vorable conditions of-seasons and labor, or as much as they can buy one, two, or three hundred pounds of cheap commer? cial fertilizer per acre for. And, instead, to plant only so much land as can be properly worked during four dayB of each week, allowing two days for rain and the uncertainties of labor. By adopting this plan, and using all the spare time for accumulating and applying home made manures, crops would be produced at from 50 to 60 per cent of their present cost and the soil would rapidly improve While I have been working on this line for several years and believing in and ad? vocating a more intenaive system of farm? ing, T have never been ultra on the sub? ject; but from the present indications of experiments made this yoar on a pretty large scale, I am convinced that the plan crudely outlined above is the solution of cheap production; On an eleven mule farm in this neigh? borhood where the above system has been adopted to some extent, and where nearly everything for home consumption has been produced, five hundred and sixty (560) 500 pound bales of cotton were made in the last four years; and I have it from the manager of that farm that the cost of putting that cotton on the market was a fraction less than five (5) cents per pound, leaving a clear profit of four (4) cents, or twenty ($20.00) dollars per bale, at the average price of cotton during the last four seasons. This cotton was produced on two hundred acres. This year on one hundred and fifty-two acres with the homemade manure that was usually put on a hundred, and only two and one-fourth ($2.25) dollars worth of commercial fertilizer per acre, the prospect is for one bale or more per acre, with the soil in better condition for next year's crop than it ever was before. I have written more than I intended to, Mr. Editor, but it is a subject of vast mo? ment to the farmers of the State, and the Booner they are awakened to the im? portance of more business-like methods of farming the better it will be not only for them, but for the prosperity of our whole people. If they will plant from one-half to two-thirda ot the present area with a proper diversity of crops, and put the same manure, labor and at? tention to the smaller area that is now given to the whole, not only will this be protected largely from the strikes of la? bor, but their crops will be better fortified against extremes of seasons. Nor will they be subjected to the inconvenience, and sometimes great loss, caused by the vast fluctuations of prices, both in what they buy and what they sell. Tfie farraerB' motto should be: "Plant something evey month in the year; har? vest some crop every month, even if nothing but a crop of manure; and re? member 'laying by time' only as one of the traditions of the past." E. W. Dabbb. Danville, Va., AuguBt 10?A party of lads from this city went down to the river yesterday to bathe, and selected a spot on the farm of J. Abell Mottley. They heard gun Bhots, and George Fer? guson, aged 17, went up the hill to in? vestigate. He had not gone far when he was shot in the back and received a wound from which he died last evening. Mottley was afterwards arrested, and con? fessed that he fired at the boys, but did it to frighten them from his premises without intending to injure them. He was arrested and lodged in jail. Many people here are highly indignant, and be? lieve that the shootivg was malicious. To make the matter more serious the lad who was killed turned out to be Mottley 'a nephew. Laurens, August 7.?Last night at a negro church near White Plains a crowd of negroes got into a dispute, and after the services were over one of the parties , to the dispute laid ambush for the others, who were carrying torches, and opened fire on them with revolvers, killing one negro outright, named Thornwell Nance, and wounding severely three others. One negro had half of his collar cut off with a razor. The negro who did the killing is said to be one Jim Young. Coroner Sloan held an inquest over the dead negro to-day, and five of the ne? groes who were in the party that did the killing were brought to jail to night. The row was about a negro woman. Trenton, Ga., Aug, 7.?Jeff Stokes, who clerks in the Btore of Wm. Little, at Morgaoville, this county, shot and kill-' ed a negro last night who had broken through a window of the store. The ne? gro was about half through the window when Stokes fired, killing him dead. The negro was viewed this morning as he died with his body balanced across the window Bill. Stokes telegraphed the sheriff this morning what he had done. Beading, Pa., ^August 7.?Hiram Troxel, an inmate of the county hospi? tal, escaped from his attendants this morning and drowned himself in a wa? tering trough containing only fifteen inches of water.

At Rock Hill, Conn., the other day lightning ?hook hands with Farmer W. H. Stevens in the most cordial manner. He was iu the shed at S. F. Wright's house and a piece of a scythe in his hands. The thunderbolt took the iron out of his hands, and threw it into one corner of the shed and jumped Stevens into an opposite corner. Mr. Stevens says that when the lightning took hold of him he felt as if a fountain bad burst inside him and spouted pins and needles into every part of his body. ?
