ESTABLISHED IX 1S( THE FARMERS .MEET. THE FULL PROCEEDINGS OF THEIR RECENT CONVENTION. The Establishment or an Agricultural Col lege Urged*?The Platform and Revolu tion* Adopted? The State Fanners' Convention was called to order by Capt. B. R. Tillinan in Agricultural Hall. Columbia, S. C, at 12 o'clock Tuesday the 9th instant. Capt. Tillinan delivered an address pointing out supposed abuses in the ?administration of the State govern in T:t, suggesting remedies for their aba?.?ment, urging the necessity for strong'r organization among the far mers, and recommending the immediate establishment of an agricultural col lege. He contended that the college .should be put under the control of a Hoard of Agriculture, elected- by Far mers' Conventions, and asserted that such a convention was just us compe tent to elect this board as the Legisla ture. He expressed the opinion that the Agricultural College could he sup ported by the privileged tax on com mercial fertilizers and the proceeds of the interest on the land scrip, the two aggregating about ?30.000. The convention was not so well at tended as the April convention, and lacked much of the enthusiasm display ed at the first meeting. Tins may be due to the fact that the farmers are settling down to solid business pu poses, and the attendance was probably diminished on account of the attractions at the fair grounds. Aiken, Uarnwell, Beaufort, George town, Hampton. I lorry. Lancaster, and York were not represented. The bal ance ol the counties had the popular number of delegates. At the conclusion of Capt. Tillman's address. Hon. W. .1. Hilbert, of Kdgelield, was nominated ami elected Chairman oi the convention, with .1. T. Duneau, of Xewberry, ami i)r. W. F. Anderson, of Abbeville, as Secretaries. A Committee on Credentials was ap pointed, and tic convention adjourned until 7:30 p. m. The Farmers' Convention met promptly at 7:30. Several delegates from Spartanburg, not present at the morning session, reported. (Jen. K. T. Stack house, of Mason, reported a con stitution and by-laws for the permanent organization, which was adopted as ;: whole without debate. Mr. D. K. Mor ris, of Anderson, was unanimously elected permanent President, with lie following Viee-Fresidetiis: U.S. Be don, of Colleton; W. .!.

Addison, of Abbeville, Treasure". The following Executive Committee was chosen: B. It. Tillinan. C. II. Schevcr, J. E. Tin y_yal!, ,7. s. Porcher, T. s. Rrioe nnd.H. K. Thomas. A Committee on lb solu tions, composed of one from each county was appointed. A number of resolutions were intro duced, the following being the most important, recommending the estab lishment of an Agricultural College, the re-organization of the Department Of Agriculture, the creation of the office of Inspector of weights and measures: requiring all parties purchasing seed cotton to pay a license of live hundred dollars, the reduction of the number of county oilices by combining treasurer and auditor, the establishment of a far mers's bank, the discontinuance of ap propriation for the support of the mili tia, the calling of aState Constitutional Convention and urging an increase in the phosphate royalty. At 10 o'clock the convention adjourned until 9:30 o'clock Wednesday, :!;?? 10th instant. At that hour business was resumed, and Capt. Tillman, chairman of the com mittee, submit led the following plat form. The committee on resolutions beg leave to make the following reporl : After due consideration of the vari ous resolutions referred t" us. and tak ing into consideration the power in vested in os to make independent re commendations *of our own volition, we submit the following "platform as embracing the substance of such reso lutions as were acted upon in the com mittee, and as indicating the reforms and measures which >.\y deem of great importance to our interests as farmers and citizens : \\\\ the farmers of South Carolina in Convention assembled, alter mature deliberation and after all the lighl and experience gained since our hist Con vention from the lullest discussion umong ourseh i s ts the general object - In be att ained, hereby express ??ur con tinued unshaken confidence in our for mer assoeia! ion as now organized to aceompli' 'i great good for! he state, it properly conducted und koj?i within legitimate bounds, and wo hereby reit erate our determinal ion that thereshaii henceforth in South Carolina, an Organization for the protection ami ad vancement ;>i' our agricultural inter ests In furtherance of Uiis purpose, and as ombodying the present views of the powers of ilic Mate, we rospeet fully urge upon our General Assembly tin- necessity, and cidvisabiiity of the following 11a asur s: First. Tite e ?tablishmeiit ol a ivnl Agriettlturnl c< lieg??, separate and dis tinct from the South Carolina College, and m. doled after those of Michigan and Mississippi. We believe ti;;:' the lufessnry fund to build and equip this institution can bo secured In lopping oil' needless expemiit ures, abolishing or consolidating useless oilices without in iTeasing taxation. We further recom mend, as a means to nssisi in building this institution, that the different counties iif the Slate be empowered to aid for ii by offering bonds or laud. Second. Thal au t xperiuu utalstation should be establisiied at or in cuiuht tiou with said Agricultural and Me ehanieal College, the same to be under tin < barge of its ,;\r . ;ii,d Cm! we memorialize Congross to pass the hill introduced b\ Mr. Hatch, and now pending, which appropriates 1 ">.'?* i annually to each S*;?te for this purpose, and that we ask our Senators and Con gress men to use all legitimate means to secure its passage. Ahl m Oh vor fat 1, in ;o. ora: Third. That in order that oar agri cultural administrators may la; di vorced, as far as possible, from politics and politicians, in order that the men best qualified to perform these impor tant duties be selected by those most | competent to judge, in order that we j may secure a Board of Agriculture at once, efficient, zealous and representa tives who know our needs and try to supply them, we urge that instead of being chosen by the Legislature they be selected by this Farmers' Associa tion. This Hoard of Agriculture should consist of ten?five elected annually, i They should have the power to elect I their own secretary, whose duties would ? correspond with those of the present Commissioner. Their duties would be the same as the law imposes on our pre sent Hoard, except as to the collection of the royalty which should be given to the Comptroller General. In addi tion they should have control of the Agricultural College and experimental' station, and should by means of far-' mere' institutions, occ. build up and keep alive county agricultural assoeia- [ Hons. Fourth. That the system of the in-' spection of fertilizers is now defective and no adequate punishment for frauds is provided. We therefore urge such additional legislation as will secure the j needed protection without imposing unnecessary restraint upon the manu facture, and sale of fertilizers. Cotton seed local, whether sold as a fertilizer or as food for stock, should be inspect edand its adulteration punished. Fifth. We urge the Legislature not to squander the state's property by al lowing the wholesale exportation of phosphates at merely nominal prices.; and that with a view to lessening the bonds of taxation they take into con-j sideration the advisiability of increas ing the phosphate royalty. Sixth. We recommend the passage of: such legislation as will protect the far ! mere of the State against the weighing ; i of col ton. ! Seventh. We respectfully urge such; legislation as will protect us against; ' forest Ii res negligently started. ; Eighth. The equalization of taxes de-1 {niands earnest consideration at the ? hands of the Legislature, and we urge i such action as can best secure it. i Ninth. We urge such alterations of j the Fee bill as will guard the estate of dead persons against abuses and pro-! vide protection for widows and or-i phnns. I' Tenth. In order to secure the needed I j reform in our comity governments, and * to reduce the burden of taxation as! well as to secure such changes in our judieal system as may be needed we I earn* stiy request our legislators to con ! sider the advisability of calling a con jstttutiou.il convention, unless in their [judgment the necessary changes may i be better obtained by amendment. The platform elicited very little dis cussion, the idea seeming to prevail that it was prepared for adoption and discussion was usctess. Some very un important amendments were proposed but pr< mptly voted down, and the platform adopted us a whole with a few dissenting votes. A resolution was adopted that the j Committee on Resolutions becmpower , ed to select the first named to be pro posed as members of the Board of Agri culture i?>t'ho event the Legislature re-' organizes the department of agricul ture on the plan proposed by the con vention. A contribution of SI each j was then levied on the delegates tor the J purpose of raising a fund to defray the expenses of the convention, and' $73 was collected. Captain Tillman stated that in some i of his letters he had some resentment 'against the State Agricultural Society j but he now desired to disclaim any such i feeling am1, to propose a joint meeting j - or love feast, between that organiza tion and the Farmers' Convention. : This fraternal sentiment was kindly re leeived by Mr. Hitison. of Charleston. I who pledged the Society to the same I spirit. The r< solution was adopted and I a meeting arranged for to-night. The I convention then adjourned until 7:30 1 p.m. : The Convention met at 7:30 with the [expectation of holding a joint meeting with t!i<- State Agricultural Sooiety, but as the members of that organiza tion wen- not promptly on hand the j convention adjourned sine die.

Dreadful Work and .Fust Fate Of a Drunken Husband and Father. St. Lor is, Novembar in.?Near Mair rine. Hodgeman county. Kansas, lived until last Friday Sain Purple, a brutal, drunken fellow. His family consisted of himself, wife, wife's sister and four little children, the youngest of whom was only three weeks old. On Friday morning his wife arose and prepared breakfast. She then awakened her husband, which enraged him. He sprang from bed and seizing his revol-1 vcr, shot his wife through the body, killing her instantly, lie then shot and killed his new-born babe and another of Ins children. His sister-in-law. Miss Lowder. was then fired at. the ball pass ing through her arm and lodging in her shoulder. As this emptied his revolver he proceeded to load his shotgun in or der to complete the work. A slight mistade in this was the only thing that stopped his deadly proceedings. The powder was poured into one barrel and the shot into the other. With this he endeavored to blow off the head of another child, but as there was nothing except powder in the barrel the child's face was only severely burned. A heavy blanket was wound around the child" and this securely wrapped with, heavy wire, in the hope that he might accomplish its death by suffocation. The child will recover, although fear fully disfigured. The murderer then mounted his horse and started across the field towards Marine, with the avowed purpose of murderinghis wife's lather and mother. Meantime the .young lady had made her way to the \ Hinge and notified the inhabitants and they had congregated for resistance. Seeing that his plan was frustrated, Purple hastened to Jetmoreaml surren dered to the authorities, and was placed in jail. Last night a mob of about one hundred men went to the jail and de manded tlie prisoner, who was delivered with little ceremony. He was then taken to the scene of his crime and hanged to a tree. Only one member of tite family escaped serious injury, a lit tle boy. w ho hid under I he bed when he beard bis father coming. SEVENTY-FIVE SHOCKS. Koine Curious Freaks of the Shake at a Private House. Lacj.kxs, November 10. To-day your correspondent was informed of a remarkable phenomenon in town, and was specially invited to visit the place of ils occurrence. The residence of Mr. A. W. Anderson began to shake at about 3 o'clock last Sunday evening, and continued at short intervals until i> o'clock. Monilay t h? shocks came at the same hour and continue:! about three hours. Yesterday (Tuesday) the quakes began at .5 and continued, as on the preceding days, until G. To-day it was quite generally talked of, and two or three hundred persons visited the house during the afternoon. The shocks began at 1.30 and continued until ?5.10. Your correspondent visited tlie house this evening at 5..'lo and re mained about fifteen minutes, during which time at least a dozen shakes oc curred, six of which were stronger than any he has ever felt, except the first one. August 31. The Uev. Jno. I). Pitts, the Rev. K. (). Frierson and Mr. s. It. Todd were at the house when your corres pondent went in. They all, as well as many others who came* and went, ex pressed themselves as being satisfied that the shakss were genuine earth quakes. Mr. Pitts, who had spent about two horn's in the house, said that there had been at least seventy-live quakes, not counting slight tremors. Xo one has offered any explanations. There are houses within one hundred yards, and nothing of the kind has been felt. I saw Mr. T. F. Simpson, who lives next door to Mr. Anderson, and lie says that no quakes have been felt at his house, except such as were felt throughout the town. Our peopie can not, understand Ibis matter. Wc would be pleased to hear from any who may have theories on the question. TEXAS RANGERS AT WORK. Wire Cutters in (lie I.one Sl:.r State Fight to the Death. CmoAt.o, Nov. 11.

A Question Tor the Legislature?The Seed Cotton Thief no Worse tlinn the Man who Bays the Stolen Cotton?Prompt and Vigorous Measures Needed. A correspondent writing to the News and Courier, from St. Matthews, S. ('.. under date of November llth, ISStJ, writes ;ts follows concerning the traffic I in seed cotton : I Ever since "Farmer Tillman" declar ed himself to be the "Agricultural I Moses" and assumed the task of lead I ingthe over-burdened tillers of the soil ; out of the land of Pharaoh and his bur ! densoine task-masters, the agricultural ? question has been especially prominent ; before the. public. Reduction in taxa tion^ the establishment of anagricul ; turaJ college, the prices of fertilizers, j the" oppressive system of the cotton I factorage business, &c, have been, from [time to time, very forcibly brought to i the attention of the public all going to : pro"'-that the farmers of our State are I beginning to awake to their interests ' and are willing to embark in any enter i prise which promises to better their I impoverished condition. ' Tn view of the fact, I beg to bring to i the attention, not only of the farmer, but of every citizen interested in the . material welfare anil prosperity of this state, a matter beside which all others, I previously discussed, pale into insig nificance. I refer to the growing evil ' oLthe seed cotton traffic: itisessential ; ly a curse to the cotton planter. I think j it safe to assert that at least 5 per cent, of the cotton made by the honest far j iner is stolen and goes to fill the cof ; fers of these seed cotton buyers, who ; open their shops at every road crossing I in the country about the 1st ofSep , tember and offer inducements to the ? negroes on the surrounding plantations ; to-"steal all the cotton that they can. This,.plainly, is an enormous drain on ; the industry of the country. Five per I cent, of the gross cot ton production of ; any planter will pay his taxes for at j least two years, or buy a tonnt acid i phosphate for every plough he runs. But this is not the only loss incurred. I Th'is seed cotton tratlic increases the price,- and heightens the independence ! of the laborer. When the cotton Held begins to array itself in its robe of snowy whiteness, the darkey draws the r?be of idle dignity about his shoulders I arid says, give me fifty cents per huiircd I or your cotton will remain unharvi-st ed. The farmer is forced to concede to this unreasonable demand, and then the probability is that lie will lose a largcpcrrenfage from waste, for what negro will hurry himself to {rather cot ton- at fifty cents per hundred in the day when he can gather it at night just as easy, and by carrying it a half mile to the nearest shop realize 82.50 per hiVjJred ? Tui.> is not only ?^freat evil, but a growing evil. During the days id' Radical ruh; in the State there was a j great deal of cotton stoleu,but even then ! it was confined to section^ very near to ja town or village. Dating from 1871?, i however, it hud steadily increased, until j now it begins to assume alarming pro , portions. Even the negroes are begin , ning to open shops. A negro will com I mcuce with a capital of 810, with which j lie will purchase, a meagre supply of i groceries, which be takes to the planta tion on which he lives, and while the j planter sleeps and sweetly dreams of : brighter days that be will never see, : unless he stirs himself from the lethar j gy into which he has fallen, these gro ? ceries are exchanged for eUU or I50U pounds of bis cotton. 1 Now, what the people of this com ? munity wish to know is why is this condition of affairs allowed to exist'; Is thi! law-making power of the land ? important to protect us from this sys tem of plunder? Is the midnight cot ton thief and bis accessory, the mid night cotton buyer, entitled to mor< : consideration at the bands of the lau ' than the honest, hard-working farmer: The people of this community say em phatically no ! And unless somestrin gent law is enacted at the next, sessior of the Legislature to put down thi* iniquitous traffic, our representative: j will not carry into effect the wishes ol their constituents. On the Sib of last September the eil: /.ens of this place and tie- surroundini ? country belli a meeting for the purposi , ol considering some plan to abate thi? evil. They formed an organization anil went earnestly to work. The as i sociation now numbers nearly two hun :dred men. Every merchaul in tin i place stands pledged nol to buy ; ! pound of seed cotton, ami there an- a! least two hundred square miles of ter ; ritory surrounding, on which there i not a seed-cotlon shop. We feel highly gratified at the result attained, but are not fully satisfied.

A correspondent of the Vienna Freie Presse gives the following graphic ac I count of the assassinations which took I place at Dobnitza on the occasion of . jthe elections:* On the day appointed 1 for the elections the Prefect of Dolmitza I summoned the citizens, to an electoral; . caucus. Some of the electors began to | shout "We dn not want any elections ! We will not do anything' to oppose j Kussia!" Deputy (Jrechorov then ad-j [dressed the assembled crowd, saying that it was desirable to elect such "men as would cast their vote in favor of the Prince determined upon by Russia, but who, at the same tune, would stand up for the independence and liberty of; Bulgaria. The congregated peasants; would not be quieted, and continued to shout, "We want no elections!" But ' the delegates from the city did not al- 1 low themselves to be disturbed,and tor two hours the election proceeded with out any further disorders. Suddenly,however, a turbulent crowd ! of live hundred peasants appeared upon . the scene, "Down with the Deputies," j j they shouted; "it was they who hurled j us into conflict with S?rvia. They have .caused us to pay the imposts, hut Russia would not have compelled us to 'do so." (Jrechorov came forward to - make another address, but the peasant.; I I would not let him speak. The) threw! ! into the air the table at which the Elec ;toral Commission were sitting ami'; broke it into pieces. The commisson j era were obliged to make their escape through the window, which was situ ated behind the table where the votes were being counted. Three of them? (Jrechorov, Zoggrnv and Professor Pa I pnkehiefT succeeded in taking refuge ! in a ncigiibming house. A raiud crowd ; of peasants endeavored to follow (hem. ; but the professor, revolver in hand. . kepi them at hay. Another Deputy was fortunate enough to escape. The nuthnrlics sought to restore order and immediately dispatched eight soldiers on horseback to quell the disturbance, but these were met by a volley of stones ami forced to ret rent. ; Encouraged by their success the peas ants proceeded in a body to the house j of the Prefect. Dimitriev. The wretch ed official was dragged from his resi l deuce, depvived of his clothes.lud money and then murdered with Mows from staves and with knife thrusts. Amid j shouts whistles and imprecations his; ? body was dragged through several streets.and limtlly hurled from a stone I bridge into the river. In the meanwhile j a portion of the crowd hadseparated it self from the main body and made for ! the telegraph office. The head official hi i charge Biishniakov, begged tin invaders i mit to touch the papers and money. ?? Die dispatches and money arc for the poor soldiers for your sons," he cried. Buti the robbers would not be dissuadedI from their purpose. They robbed the J office and would have burned i.t to the I I ground bad no) the inhabitants uf the neighboring houses prevented them i from doing so. j The taste of blood had lired the j bestial instincts of the niob. There ap proached a spy who had discovered the hiding places of f Jrechorov. Jiograv and Papukchieff, and thither the crowd be took itself, intimating that if the three would not give themselves up I hey would set lire to the houses. The poor wretches accordingly surrendered, first came Papukchieff. The poor fel low, . who had never taken a part in politics and who had merely been pre sent, to protect his friend (Jrechorov, threw away his revolver and tried tn calm the mob, ISul he had scarcely opened bis mouth when Hie mob feil upon him and literally hacked him into pieces.

Dallas, Tkxas. November 12.?It appears that the filibusteringexpedi tion proposed t?? invade Mexico and establish anew republic, to be composed of the present States of Chihuahua, Sonora and Durango, is no myth. Two emissaries of the movement arrived in Dallas to-day. and under promise not to give any information that might be used against him. ore of them has given to a correspondent some points as the. true inwardness of the daring scheme, lie says that this filibustering move ment was on foot before the Cutting case was beard of. hut that in matters of such delicacy it is necessary to move slowly and with great caution. He did not. however, deny that Cutting is now one of the leaders of the affair.
