'year,- according. to 'figures com piled by the- committee on banking, legislation and warehousing of the South Carolina Diviston of the American. Cotton Association. The importation, of this enormous amount of foodstuffs -into the state was made necessary by the- eagerness of the farmers to raise cotton, many of them planting seventeen acres to the plow. .In 'a statement issued yesterday the association declared that there was no reason for the farmers of the state to be panic-stricken over the fact that the price which cotton is now bringing forbids them planting over a half crop of it next year. It isdeclared that a study of the figures collected by the committee on bank ing, legislation and wa:houses~ of the association ought to convince them that a diversification of crops in the South will prove profitable. According to the committee state ment that importation of food and feodstuffs into South Carolina from the West last year as follows: Corn $15,000,000; mixed- feeds $13,000, 000,000; hay $12,000,000; oats $10, 000,000 flour $20,000,000; beef $15, 000,000; bacon $20,000,000; eggs and butter $3,000,000; canned goods $13,000,000, making a grand total of $1 1 1,000,000. "These figures," says the associa tion "are purchases from this state only and every item mit't be paid for in cash before the goo, are deliver ed together with the eight. This amount could be spent at home if the farmers of South Carolina would get their minds oft of cotton for a few To the - farmmers of South .Caro lina: It is generally ae:reed that i a 0i,000,000-hatle crop of' cottoni this year world net' the South just as:' much as "0.000-bale crop).

C. T. Mart Otvo $4bJiuter esthi HIst*ry. . Mr. Editor: The aiticles iit the ast several issues of The rogress ind Seitinel, the first from Mb. Van :liver, of Anderson, and one from 11r. M. J. qPelborn, of Pickens, de cribing what they .term as the' "last ;hot of the Civil War," have. been vead by 'me with much interest. While I was not a citizen of this state at that tihie, having conic to Pickens , from Russell county, Ala., n December, 1873, and having since 'esided the greater portion of the ime -in Pickens county, yet I have it from good authority that a small en ;agemeut in which several shots were fred, toofC plans at Turner's lill in this (Pickens) county on the Easley Bridge road between where the city 3f Easley now is located and the city Df Greenville several days after the engagement of which they speak, took place. The engagement at Turner's Hill which ocuerred after the first of May, 1865, was between some ten or twelve ex-Confederate soldiers and a squad of Federal cavalry. The The Felerals were enroute to Green ville from toward Anderson and had at drove of horses and mules which they had taken from the farmers along the way. Thy small band of ex-Confederate soldiers from the Slabtowr section who through one of their scouts were informed of their number and the depredations they were comiitting, resolved to try and overtake and kill or capture and re lake the horses and mules they had taken from the citizens. Having weard the direction the Yankees were woing, the Rebels guessed that they vere enrout,2 to Greenville and that hey would cross the Saluda river ither at Easley's or the bent bridge. o after getting in front of the Van cees they picked Turner's Hill, at he junction of the roads leading rom :Anderson and old Pickensville, s a good place to make the attack. The Rtebs left their horses in the 14Jd(Is ?arby and hid behind a rail ence where they could command the nad from Anderson. When the pproached they were fired m One Yank was killed and sev . thers wounded. The squad ,rtown into confusion and scat tid in all directions, leaving a num wer of horses and mules which the ebs captured and later returned to heir owners. A few (lays afterward the Yanks eturned to the vicinity and burned everal farm houses, one belonging o Mr. Turner and one to Mr. Hugh Cllison. The soldier who was killed ras buried near wvhernt he fell by itizens of the community and later is father from some one of the restern states came and had his body isinterred and shipped to his hom~e .t least one of the Confederate sol jers who was in the engagement is et alive, the others are all dead. I have not the exact date of this attle, but know it was after the 1st f May, as the same party of Yanks illed Mr. Matthew Ellison on May st as th~ey were going toward An erson, and it was a few days later s they wvdre returning to Greenville liat this engagement occurred. It. is said that these wandering ands from the garrisons In Green ille and Anderson were piloted by ne Frank Blakely, a notorious char cter from this county. Blakely was rter killed, as Mr. Welborn states, y a vigilence committee, headed by he late. Col. R. E. Bowen. He was hot atter he had shot and killed a oung man by the name of Archer nd had wounded Mr. J. A. Higgins. llakely's body was buried at Poplar prings, just north of Ariail moun ain. I got this Information from several 'f the participants in the above de cribed affair. ,C. T. Martin. CLEMSON COLLEGE ITEMS.

Sunday, March 20th, in .the First Baptist church, Greenville, by- Dr., Mullins, of Louisville, Ky., at which time .h? will tell of his recent -trip through Europe studying the'. relig. sous conditions there. Due to the 75 Million Campaign, Southern Bap tists are opening work in Southern Europe as a result of the study of . that territory by Dr. Mullins and others. , "Dr. Mullins speaks in eight cities in this state," said the Rev. J. ur man Moore, of Greenville, publicity man for the Greenville meeting yes terday, "and the Baptist men and women of the section surrounding Greenville are bent upon having a great congregation to greet the speaker when he steps upon the plat form in Greenville." "Within easy reach of Greenville," said Mr. Moore, "there reside iorty thousand Baptists, a large percent of whom are subscribers to the 75 Mil lion Campaign and they are anxious to hear first of the great work being undertaken in the needy lands across the sea." "Indications are," said Mr. Moore, "that from two to twenty men and women are coming from each of th 1-50 Baptist churches within twenty live to thirty miles of Greenville." This paper goes into many Baptist homes and we urge that a goodly number of - people motor over to Greenville at 3 :30 next Sunday to ei'ar this great Baptist leader. BACK FROM FLORIDA.
