Cotton cafl for frequent werking in its early stages; it inporiamt to pu~sl it rapidly beyond the poirt vherea it suffers from "sore som ard Lee. In' the olden time it was thought best to side cotton with sc'ooters, shor& or other deep-rflmning plows.. Ample e::periene has shown that tlus is neianer ecessiary nor desirable.

Such gatherings are higaly 1bcne'ricial, not only because they ailord to 'n an opportunity of beholding what Ls been done, but rather because It is aa.. Such surroundings that the gies and drooping aspira ton of tie nriltitudes are quickened into activity, and they return to the quiet of farm and shop determined to equal, and, if possible, surpass the tri uMlph.As they have witnessed. Several of these Inter-State Encampments are, and have b-en for years, in the most success ful operation in other parts of the United Sta:es, at vWhichi there attend annually hundrcds of thousands of visitors from all the various occupations of life. They go away benetitted, and for this purpose aily was this Encampment inaugu rated. The location of the Encampment is central and easily accessible from every count-y in the States above-mentioned. it is directly on the line of the Atlanta and Charlotte Division of the Richmond and Danville Railroad, with direct con nections ai Spartanburg (one mile from rounds) with Charleston and the Sea Coast, Augusta and the South, Atlanta and the Southwest and West, Asheville and te Northwcst and West, and Char lotte anid ail points beyond to the East, N U 'nd N ortheast. It lies at the foot f a in cic .ar view of the Blue RidgO Tc City of Spaiianburg, S. -., was, uosei by the committee charged with' tie selection of a location on account of temany advantages and facilities atlrored to such a grand enterprise. 1ht. Tle Railroad facilities of the lo eazon at "- artanburg are unsurpassed ors and speedy access from every part of the whole country. 2ud. The City is the first and only ne of my importance directly in the Iedo nt region and having direct and sh..vrt R a line across the Blue :. g nains into East Tennessee, V.Western North Caroline, and beyond to the great Wes. .d. it is in the direct line of -al sum a . tiavel from the low counties of! S- h Carolina and Georgia, and from orida to the mountain resorts of West ern NortL Carolina. 'h. Thme heath of the City and Coun tyo Spartaburg is unsurpassed by any lusi.Lte .whole Southern States. othi.Iis also easily accessible to the clA'eb. td Iealth nesort of Glenn: Springs; b.des many resorts of minor iiiportancee within easy reach. Li. The whole City and County is alv to any and every enterprise that ooks to the upbuilding of the South and the bettering of the condition of the Agricultural and Producing classes. The grounds are thirty acres in cx tent, facing the railroad, where there will be double side tracks with hand some and convenient depots. Water1 will be abundantly supplied from wells and fromn the City Water Works. Streets and Avenues surround and intersect the Grounds at convenient distances. The-re has been a mammoth Pavilion creted near the centre of the grounds, in which public addresses will be dcliv erea by prominent Agriculturalists at' various hiours in the day and evening. One of the States above namid is now ereting a handsome ahd commodious straeture for the exhibition of its re sources, to be under the management of State 1)epartment of Agriculture. The other four States will; in all probability, make provision at the next sessions of their respective Legislatures for the erection of similar State buildings. Every effort is being p~ut forth bythe managemnent to give the oecasion every p'osible convenience and facility for the successful accomplishment of the En iuampment's objet and aim. Mlany persons will erect small plank o.ets on the grounds for permanent use; any l.ianthes wilb-n lt etquilts oudblnkes it thmwhie heman agmn ilendeavor to have a sullicient .auber besides. so that all visitors de siring to do so can "camp out" on the grounids.

There will be strict Police regulatious to govern the conduct of all persons while on the grounds, and violations will be severely punished. Local rules and regulations will be posted throughout the grounds for the information and guidance of all. Easy and speedy access from the City of Spartanburg to the grounds (one mile away)willbe possible either in regular line of Omnibusses, Hacks and Carniages; or by Passenger Trains runniug at short intervals from the Depot in the City to the Encampment Depot. The managers anticipate that the dis play of Farm and Domestic MIachinery and Implements, Agricultural and Hor ticrltural Products, and fine Stock and Poultry, will be superior to an.y erbi tion ever held in the Southern States. Prominent members of the Order of Patrons of Husbandry, from all pares of the United States, leading Agricultural ists, eminent Statesmen, and Governors of States, will be in attendance. Remember that no admission fee is charged to the grounds, or to witness any of the features we advertise. it is specially desired that localities -a every portion of the South which have mineral deposits, such as Coal, rO.s, Gold, Silver, 3Mica, Soapstone. Lime :tone, MIangauese, &c., se, send large and varied specimCns to iLis Exhibitio. Let there be Geologieal surveys made of such localities, and maps, showing de tails of deposits, outcroppings, -.

A large number of the friends and ad mirers of General Grant met ini New York on Wednesday to form a perna nent org mnization, that shad annually honor the birth day of the illustrious general. There were present Gien. W. T. Sherman, ex-Senator Rtoccoe Conk ling, ex-Senator Alex. MIcDonald, Xe. General Sherman, the chairman, said that although his heart was with theta, as the al kew, he thought the older men should be excused from the laburs which the organization necessarily in volved, and that the work should be dne by the younger men.

COTTON. Tl reports indicate that the area in cotton will be decreased 3 per cent. This c timate, Lowever, is subject to future 'eviion, as the entire crop had not been inLted on the first of May. Early gernmit.ion of seed has been prevented by cold we'ather following plantir g, but nore favorable seasons later have partly overcome any injury that may have re suied to the crop from the cause men iLoned. The correspondents report that 37 per cen-. of the cro) has been plante., and estimate that :37 per cent. of this is "up," against :31 per cent. last year and 34 per cent. in 1885. The general con dition is reported as good as last year.

They Rely Upon a Tremendous Business Panic to Aid Them in Obtaining Control of Auair.-Chicagro the Hot Bed. A few iy ago press dispatches con tained a report about a projected com bination of the three principal socialistic organizations in this country-the Red International, the Black International and the Sociaistie Labor party. While the aims and designs of the so-called Black International, or the International Working People's Association, thank to the anarchists' trial, have become widely known, nobody knew or hardly ever heard of the Red International, or the International Workmen's Association, as being a specific organization of so cialists along the Pacific coast. -The organization was founded in San Fran eisco in 1885. It was organized in all the principal cities throughout the \Vestern States after the mode of the Knights of Labor assemblies, and is by far more secret than that organization. It is now authoritatively announced by rn organ of the socialists that the leader of the "RIeds" proposes there shall be an uprising in 189. What would occur, were the uprising he counts on success ful, is thus outlined: "The circumstances which may permit decisive action will probably be these: In 1889 the present panic approaches a climax. It will be widespread and alarming, accompanied by closed factories, starving workers, rioting and the use of military force. It may even, complicated by a bitter class feeling, result in a suppression of the rights of free speech, meeting and press. Until then, unless the whole people are aroused, it is the duty of the wise social ist to hold aloof from riots in special localities. "The time is not yet ripe for success; we have counted our heads, and we know it. To strike this year would be to slaughter our best people and put back the cause a hundred years. No, at present we must be as wise as serpents but harmless as doves. We must take advantage of it for agitation and educa tion only. We must speak much and act not at all. When the working peo ple are hungry their brains weaken. One year of panic means a trebling of our forces at the very least. And while, with our present 100,000 socialists, forcible action is impossible, with 400, 0U (what the next panic will give us if we manage wisely) we hold the game in our own hands. . "We have, perhaps until 1889, time in which to perfect our plans. That year in Europe will surely bring grave re sults. In America, if figures lie not, another panic, greater, deeper and more widespread than the preceding will be upon us. Then, and not till then, may we risk a cast of the iron die. Then may we strike to win." The article states that they expect to have in the United States in 1889 at least 500,000 earnest socialists, divided some what as follows: Chicago, 25,000; New York, 25,000; in the New England fac tory States, 100,000; in the central coal and iron region, 100,000; in Colorado and the Western States, 50,000; on the Pacific coast, 50,000; in the Atlantic and Southern cities, altogether, 100,000, and scattered at various points in towns and. villages, 50,000 more. "'The panic comes, the public are ex cited, outbre 2occur, the large centers rev olt, the places where but a few social ist exs aie made points for the rally ig ofLth conservative element. "In these' small places it should be madeW th. duity of the sueialists there pre siding, secrety and with all the aid of 'ienein estrucative warfare, to raise -uliciaent turmoil to keep tne conserva :v as at hme. M1eanwhile in large centers bold measures should be taken. Our people should head, lead and con trol the popular revolt; should seize the places of power; should lay hands upon the machmnery of the government. Once installed in power, the revolutionary committee should follow this course of action. The decree should at once be promulgated and enforced. ' It is proposed to ma~ke Chicago the headquarters of the uprising in 1889, which is to follow the combination of the dilferent branches of the inter nationalists, and quite an elaborate pro gramme is outhined of the manner in which the style of government will be changed after the revolt hlas proved suc eesiful. The year 1859 is also the one decided in 18t6 by the National Federa tion of Trades as the one in which the eight-hour rule should go into etfect. An Exp~lodied Rumior. The easily exploded rumor that Mr. Watterson was to assume editorial direc tion of the New York Herald is followed by another of a somewhat wider import, utlecting, however, three other promi neu~t Southern editors. These are M~esrs Henry WV. Girady, 'of the Atlanta C.onitution;, A. T. B~elo, ei the G.alves ton News, and Major Burke, of the New 0Oileans Times-Democrat, and the pro jeet tiley are said to be considering is a daily paper in New York devoted to the -nterests of the South, and making a specialty of Southern news. Their idea ts that there are enough Southern men ta that vicinity to make such a paper pr:olitable, with the Southern support and patronage which it would be certain u) receive. A 31ounment to 'st.
