From reports th/if have been jreceW** att over ihe ooimtry, it Vonld appear that tbe aereagd pf cotton planted this' year 'lias bee?' considerably reduced. iThi?,'6n the faee of it is gratify ing and ism line ?r(lh the re* 'quest* 6f all Southern Assooi ;it ions of cotton producers. The most gratifying feature Of It to \fs is, that the farmer was able tp reduce his acreage of cotton. Ten yeafs ago he could not have done it as the tiifst q ucstion asked him when he wanted a loan or lien was how much cotton he in tended to plant. Upon the an swer to that question <Jopended *ihe success or failure of nis ap v plication. ft he answered that he would plant thirty acres to the plow, he succeeded in secur ing the accomodation requested. rif on tbe other hand be replied ' that he would plant fifteen or ~ twenty acres, the n'.iances were 'lliat he failed. "We hope that those farmers who haue reduced their planting area, have not mace the cut iu 'fertilisers that was recotntiiend od, Half fertilised land does not pay to cultivate. We stated In a preVfo'tis editorial, we thirile, .that the real prosperity for the "farmer would not begin until he :?.itered into a system of diver sification of Crops. With plenty ^>j corn in his cribs, wheat* pota-! 'toes, molasses,- hogs, poultry rtind cattle, the farmer would ha -in a position to bold his Cotton V~op until he got his price, as it *wriuld be a surplus crop entirely. %Ve await with interest the open at the cotton selling season 'itiis fall, and .earnestly hope Hhattho efforts of the devoted ^dien wh? haVe awakened so ltauch interest in the farmers on ihis subject will be crowned with success, the future of the entire 'country d$p$nds upon it, for 'Wliat^vej? affects the farmer, af fetls every other clas- of oqr citizens. RQBBEKY, IF tftUJ?. If the following is true, and we seq'uo reason to doubt it, it Is not hard for us to understand that the great speculative and ^pot cotton biiyers put no faith In the talk of reduction of cotton ipcre^gQ $nf| the use of coin hierciq} lertiHgers. The facts Kve give you bolow itre taken ivom the patent print columns of ?>ur esteemed contemporary, The Messenger. > They disclose a gigantic sys tem of fraud, Intended to oper ate directly against the interests *jf the Cotton states.

EL Sill, one of the few re maining human landmarks of the county. He did riot linger with us long after taking to bis Ijed, but suffered much, until God in lewdness severed the spirit from the flesh, and all that remained to sorrowing tfidow and other relatives was but the still and cold frame of what once consti tuted strong and vigorous man hood. Major Sill was nearing tiis 75th birthday at the time of his death, he having been born on the 22d of June, 1830. Of his career as a private citizen, a sol dier, an offioe-holder, and again a private citizen, it is almost ueedloss to speak. Suffice it to say that as a soldier, the example for gallantry set by him should be subject for emulation to the youth of%the day, who may, 11kg him be required to prove their fortitude and valor on many a hard fought field of battle. As an office-holder, his record should also be subject for emulation. As a private citizen he was Sans t'uer el tan* Ueproaehc. To his friends he was ever loyal, to: wards those }ie disliked lie hold no malice. Major Sill was twice married, his last wife who sur vives him .having been a Miss Henrietta McKain to whom the syihpatby of the entirooommnni ty goes out in full measure. This expression of sympathy em braces also the Ave maiden sis ters of the deceased to whom he was a tower of strength. The funeral servioes wero conducted ?t 5 o'clock on Thurs day. evening, and tho remains interred in tho Quaker cemetery followed to its last rosting place l>y it large ooncoUrse of sorrow ing friends and relatives. ?We have sent out a larg;. number of bills during tlio last three weeks, and so far, tlio re sponses have not beeu at all sat isfactory, If subscribers would only pUt themselves in our place a few moments, just Ions enough to reason it out correctly how sntall an amount the subscriber's debt Is, and how much good a bunch of these would be to the publisher the conditions would soon ta^e a ohango. fry it you who hiiven't responded to our call.

G. Kichurds, who was' elected lis first ana has been its only Captain, thereby mak ing him rank nearly all of .the Captains in the State in point of continuous service. The Lieu tenants clected at the organiza tion were Messrs. A. G. Jones, J. B. Cunmugham and F. Hammond, (in the order named) only Mr. Cunningham still holds his commission. Messrs. Jones fend Hammond having for i>er sonal reasons resigned theirs, after serving for several years. Only two lieutenants aro now allowed; they are : Messrs. J. B. amj W. A. ^unningham, Mr. J. B. Cureton is the efficient or derly, while the positions of 1st and 2nd sergeants are ably filled by Messrs. E. L. Jones and L. P. Thompson. There are others whoso services are woMhy of mention but time and space for bid, so I must pass on. There had never been an organisation of the kind in this section and fihost of the members were en tirely without military training, but under the careful training of Gapt. Richards and his associates the company soon became' an or ganization of considerable ef ficiency und passed its first In spection very crcditobly, and has at ^acli subsequent inspect ion, in the encampment, and the maneuvers at Manassas main tained its place among the orack companies of the State. The recent inspection was held on April 29th by Asst. Adjt. Gen. Patrick and Maj. Puller, of the U. S. Army. Forty-seven members were present and we think fully sustained their form er record, notwithstanding the fact that the inspection was held in the open field during a rain and thunder storm. The in spectors expressed themselves as pleased with the Showing made in a very brief ta.k. Ex-Adjutant Gen. Floyd was present ?nd was loudly called for. He mac^e a very short but eloquent and timely talk. The exercises being over, O^ptaiti Richards withdrew his men a short distance and in a few but feeling words thanked each of ficer and mau for-the protioient part they had played in ' tlie Af fair of the day. They were then dismissed Although a steady ruin was falling, the boys seemed in quite good humor and soundly cheered eaoli speaker, at the conolusion of his remarks. Rip Van Winki.ej.

On Thursday eveniug last, during the progress of a severe storm in this section, Mrs. W. T, Pitts was slightly shocked by lightning. Mr. Pitts lost a fine cow at the same time, possibly from r.he sumo bolt that shocked Ins wife, A tremendous wind, lyvil and rain storm cut a swath through the Tiller's Ferry neighborhood ou last Saturday night. Great damage was done to growitig crops. After the storm was over,' wo hear that ten of the hail stones were gathered at random, put on the scales and found to weigh eleven pounds. Pretty hard to awttllow. Inci dentally we mean the stones, but rtjore particularly the ac curacy of the scales and the verity of the report. Mr. Ziimmerman Drannon sent his little daughter to Charleston on Monday to have an operation performed on her eyes. The little tfirl was injured in some manner unknown to the writer tott days or two weeks ago, and has booome almost totally blind. Let us hope that the operation will bo entirely successful.
