WIIKAT AND COTTON GROWERS AN JNTKRK8TIN? MKKTINd Ml Ml AT OHKKN WOOD AND IM TO Iff ANT ACT ION TAKEN liv Till. KAUM Kit*. The sSi>utli Carolina Wheat Growers' Association hold its second annual cou tion in Greenwood on the 12th lust, l/rcsident A. C. Latlmor called the meeting to order, and stated that the minutes of last year's mooting had been misplaced, hut that Hie proceed ings were quite weil remembered. Ho said he had no net speech or special message to deliver to the mombors, but said that he had tried to get Secretary of Agriculture Wilson to attend the convention, and failing in that In- had secured the next liest man in the de partment, Mr. Win. S. Hill, the chlct of the publication division. While Mr. Lalimor was speaking a porter brought in two large sacks of heed wheat, winch had been sent lo the convention by tin: agricultural depart ment. This wheat was afterwards dis tributed among the farmers for exper imenting. On being introduced to the conven tion Mr. Hill modestly disclaimed being "the next best man,'" as Mr. Latimor had stated, he! said he was the only available man. He bogau his address with a reference to the wheat growing industry in South Carolina, and gave out the astonishing information Hint this State IS far behind all oilier sec - tious of the United States, and even ol the Southern States. The average yield in this State, according to the statistics of the agricultural depart ment, is only eight bushels per acre. A great mistake the fanners of South Caroliua make is buying so many things out of the State that could be raised at home. Take wheat for instance. South Carolina only produces about one million bushels por annum, yet she consumes about six million bushels. The money to pay for the other live million bushels, between live anil six million dollars, goes out of the State. If this money could he kept at home it would be a great help to the fartuiug interests. Sonic South Carolina fann ers even import baled bay, and much of the butter used in the cities and towns comes from outside tho Slate. This convention, he believed, was I lie beginning of the dawn of a better day, and he expressed gratification at the interest that is being manifested. He then called attention to the bulletins issued by the department, which arc sent free lo those farmers who apply for them. An increased interest is being taken in these bulletins every year, and Mr. Hill urged tho farmers to apply for them, and thus secure (he benefits of the experiments being made by the department. Tho department, he said, was anxious to be of help to the farmers, and said that letters of inquiry would always be promptly an swered. He furthci stated that he would he glad while here to confer with farmers and to put them in the way to get any information they nii^hl wish to obtain from the department. Hon. C. H.Jordan, president of tho Georgia Cotton Growers* Association, was then called on for a talk. He was well remembered, having attended tho convention last summer, and delivered the address on that occasion Ho gave the result of the revival in wheat grow ing in his State. Georgia has harvest ed this year the largest wheat crop grown in thirty yeats, and from what he had been able to learn he thought the. same could he said of South Caro lina. What tho fanners need is organ ization, as in organization they gel encouragement. At the conclusion of Mr. Jordan's remarks the convention adjourned foi dinner. The Convention was called to order at .'I o'clock. By unanimous consent in response to a great demand from the farmers of tho surrounding county, who wished to hear the speech ol Presi dent .Ionian to the cotton growers be fore going home, it was decided lo have his speech in the afternoon in stead of at night, as originally intended. Mr. Jordan said in part: "Wo have assembled here to day to devise the best ways and means for the future handling of our cotton and cot ton seed products on the markets. A change in the methods heretofore em ployed by our people in marketing Ibis great money crop, is absolutely esseuti al. The present system of selling tho crop gives every advantage to the buy er, and leaves the producer helplessly in tho hands of the speculators. For several years this question ol better marketing tho cotton crop of the South has been agitated, but up to the kith of last May no general movement had been inaugurated by which the proper machinery could be set in motion for obtaining the desired results. Many of you have doubtless been advised of the big Convention of cotton growers, bankers, merchants and business men generally of Georgia, which met at the city of Macon on May 12, and perfect ed the organization of the Georgia Cotton Growers' Protective Associ ation. I was honored with the high ofllec of president of that Association, a position which is to mo more highly prized and appreciated than any other gift which could come to me from the hands of my people. If I can beat the head of a movement which will an nually save to the farmers of my coun try millions of dollars to which they are entitled, but which thev have here tofore lost, there could be no aspiration higher, no cause nobler and no work "^rrr-wlwch my heart would be more deep ly interested. "The constitution of our Association provided that the president should im mediately push the movement into the other cotton growing States, that by united concert of action, throughout the entire cotton belt, the object* and purposes of our Association might he fully carried out. The Hon J. C. Welborn, your distinguished railroad commissioner, and Mr. S. II. McGoc, of Greenwood, gave to the movement their hearty endorsement, and began active work, which has culminated in this magnillcent gathering of your peo ple in convention bore to-day. The States of Alabama and Georgia have perfected organization and this move ment is being octivoly and widely agitated in all the Southern cotton growing States by the Soul hem press and our Association. All of the cot ton States arc actively at work and will come into the organization. This movement is sweeping, like an nvalancho across the South Atlantic and Oulf States, and with a determined co-operation, on the part of liye hun dred thousand farmers, bankers, mer chants, wate housomen, ginners and ' others, Liverpool and Wall street will no longer dictate the prices of our staple, and from one to two hundred millions of dollars will bo saved an nually to tho producers." At tho conclusion of Mr. Jordan's speech l'residont Latimer announced and delivered tho prizes offered by the Greenwood Index to tho wheat grow ers of Greenwood County, as follows: k For the best yield on four acros, $40 in |go)d. to II. P. Galphln, of Nincty-Kix, Retold 1?1 1-2 bushels. For tho second best vi? i?l Ol) four acres, 820 in gold, to ?. I*. Roberts, of Ninety-Six; \icid, 120 l-.'l bushels.

Tula body tuet Thursday morning ?i lo O'clock, and was called to order by lion. .1. C. VYilboill, president of the Association, who read the call lor the Convention issued in him several weeks ago. lie made ii brief talk, Solliug forth tho objects of the organization it was proposed lo form and ihe benefits to be derived. All classes are interest ed m the prosperity of the fanner, be said, and for that reason men of all lines of business and professions in the Slate bad been invite d to attend the COIlVCntiou and participate in its de liberations. Continuing, he said that it is a shame the way the cotton crop of the South has been marketed for the past thirty years. As a general thing, the COllOU has been thrown on the mar ket as soon as ginned without regard (O price. The uninformed or indiffer ent man always suffer. The tune is more opportune, now I bun for twenty years to perfect an organization and remedy Ibis evil. Last year there was an unprecedented short crop, and the surplus was exhausted, and the crop Ibis year is even less than that of last year. To-day Ihe cotton planlei has a coiner on the crop, bccilliso tho surplus has been exhausted. We are now in a position WC have never occupied be fore; the world wants more cotton than we "nave lo Boll. If we will or- i gnni'/.O 110W in an earnest and intelli gent manner we can control the price j not only now but in the Inline. He said it was proposed to devise a ScllCUlC by which the cotton crop ol* the South could be marketed throughout the twelve months of the year, instead of being thrown upon the market at one time and sold within two or three months. This ntovemen' is intended , to light tho speculators, and not the legitimate buyers aud manufacturers. A well known cotton null man a.dd a 1 few days ogo that he hoped this move ment would SUCCCed, as it would be . better for the mills to 1)0 able lo buy their cotton as needed. Under the pies, en! system of marketing Ihe crop the mills of the South are forced into tho market in the fall as speculators. No man cat) loll what will be the price of cotton goods, six, eight or ten months ahead, und when the mills are forced lo buy a nine or twelve months1 supply at one time they are forced to allow a margin to protect themselves against unfavorable fluctuations in the price of cotton goods. This Association is not intended to light <>i injure the cotton mills, Oil the contrary, they are asked I to co-operate with it. Tho prosperity of all elapses depends on tho prosperity of the farmers, and it is only proposed now to enable the farmers to secure a fair price for their crop. The value of tho cotton regulates the value o| every thing in the South. There should not and will not be any COUllict between the Southern eotlon grower and the Southern cotton manufacturer. There are 105,000,000 cotton spindles in the world, and of these 5,000,000, are m the South. The Southern mills cannot wholly regulate the price of cotton if they so desired, because they are not strong enough. At Ihe conclusion of Mr. Wilborn'a speech the convention was formally or ganized by the election of J. Wil born, of Columbia, piesident; .1. A. l'otorkin, of Orangehurg, vice presi dent, aud .1. lt. ?lakc, of Abbeville, 'secretary. Hon. C. II. Jordan, presi dent of the Georgia Association, was I present, and by request, gave the dc I tails and plan of the organization in 1 Georgia. Mr. Jordan was the origiu 1 ator of tho movement in his state, and I has recently organized a similar associa ? tlon in Alabama. He outlined the ] plan of the organization. On motion, j the president was authorized to appoint I an executive committee, consisting of ' three from each Congressional district, to push the work of oi *anizwg ihe dif ferent counties. The convention ad opted the constitution and by-laws of the Georgia Association, these to be in effect until the next mooting of tho Association. The convention then adjourned to meed in Columbia during Pair week, the hour and place of meet ing to he announced later by the presi dent. President \VIlhorn announced the ' appointment of the following executive committee as authorized hy the con vention: First district. Thomas M. Talbird, Beaufort; George A. Wagoner, Charleston; M.

Immediately after the adjournment , of ihe. convention the farmers of Green* i wood County accepted an invitation 1 from the farmers of Anderson County, who were present, to go to that county and assist in ihe organization there. Mr. Wilboru expressed himself as veiy mud) gratified al IllO attendance on the convention and the interest shown, and expressed the conviction thai the movement would be successful and the method of marketing the cotton crop in Ihe South would be revolutionized. It will take some time to get a perfect Organization, he said, but the work will be pushed 08 rapidly aft possible. He will issue a circular letter in a lew days, giving full details with a con stitution and by-laws suitable for county associations, lie is very much enthused over the movement, as are the other farmers who attended the convention. Mr. Wilborn requests that all Udlers of inquiry on the sub ject be addressed to him at Columbia, aud In: says that they will receive prompt attention. ? ? m Bears tho /} 1 lie Kini1 V!iii Hi'vR Al?v;iys BdUi'lit OUR, GRKATfCST RPKCIAMHT.

Tho staple crops aro so nearly matured and gathered that ovon tho j most copious rainfall would not im I prove their yields, but somo of the minor crops and fall gardens could bo benefited. Tho corn crop is a very poor ono as a whole, as only early planted corn came to maturity, while, lato corn Is practi cally a failure over the whole State. Somo corn is being housed. There is no Improvement iu tho cot I ton orop, which i? from half to three I fourths open, and is being rapidly pick I ed under favorable weather conditions. Tin lirst picking will nearly exhaust some Heids. Growth has again stopped, and the i ntiro crop is lu sigut, either as open cotton or as Immature bolls, and on tide basis It is estimated that the yield will bo veryoshort. There is some rust and much premature open ing. Soa Island cotton shows slight improvement, but blight and prema ture opoidng continue. Kico harvest is making favorable progress, and thrashing has begun with good yielde. In places muco hay is being saved, but forage will be short as a rule. The continued absence of a soaking rain has put minor crop- Into precarious eonlitions. Tho ground is too hard and dry for fall plowing. stki'.h r'ouws IN WlUTK IIOUSI-: ? !

Triixtoli Itoale llelievcs in a hur?) i>o Form ul' Government A N?w York Trlbuoe correspondent has had uu Interview with Truxtou 3 tale on ihe situation in China. Mr. Bcalo has travelled extensively in t- o Orient aud has visited portions of tho interior of China, which, wliiio little known, may ho taken us an example of that country in general. Mr. Boaio \ said : " it io true that the territory of China is huge and that It is peopled by I four hundred millions of Inhabitants, hut she is nevertheless an Incoherent, inert mads, a social organism, as it wore, without a nervous system, eo that the fo r constantly expressed about the ditlloultles European armies would have in controlling it are groundless. It is true that sho has made a showii g that has surprised the civili/.od world, but it is uoverthlosa only a -bowing, and made by that drip of China along too seaboard whoso in habitants have become familar with European methods und have had uccess to European modern arms. Unlike tho experience that an Asiatic army would havo in Invadiug Europe, Und* iug tt more and more ditllcult each day, tho allied armies will lind their work each day much easier if by any chanco I they are obliged to inarch beyond the ! great wall. The arms of tho Chinese so'diors whore I was, in tno province of Kashgar, wore of the crudest possible description, many of them with tho old percussion cap gun and others with the ilinllocks. I regret that I arrived too late to see one of their military manoouvros there, but an old Cossack colonel on tho frontier of Siberia laughingly told mo of it tho next day. It seemed that a hollow Equare was formed, tho men facing In I ward, whou for some reason various j kinds of food were pluced in the cen tre. After thio men on stilts entered ! the M|uaro and walked about In gro I totque attitudes, while the men faced outward and lirod a volley of blank 1 cartridges, the majority of their guns missing tiro entirely. Then one of the mandarins, a Chinuao army clllccr, came up to tiie old Cossack lo explain tbo mysteries of u bfOeohloadlng gun, I and much to the old colonel's amuse i inent was to Ignorant of his profession I that be attempted to forou a pin lire : cartridge into a oontral lire gun. in I fact, the handful of Cossacks In the j city of Kashgar, many days journey from the frontier o( Siberia, their own ; country, seemed lo treat tho whole Chinese population, officials and all, ! with tho greatest disdain. This is the ! present feeble condition of the Chinese, ami these now found selling to them : modern arms chould he treated as 1 pirates by tho nations of tho civlll/od world. " It is difficult for a clviii/.ed mbii tc understand their total luck of national , spirit and patriotism. Peking on)> means lo a Chinaman of those distant provinces a place from which a man darin ha? been BCnt Irom alar to up press, torture and overtax them. It It hard for us to conceive of the total an sen CO there of anything like public ' opinion, anything like an opinion or any subject, am1 their total lack ol what might bo termed emotion. With 1 in a few day's journey from where I was a great massacre of Tungan. .? 1 Chinese Mahometans, was going on, about which from time lo time vaeu. reports reached us, and it seemed that !, a foreigner living many thousand miles from their country, was the only one that toon the leuat interest in the matter. ?' Many anti-expansionists would soon be converted if they could see the gross misgovern meet, ine oppression, the torture aud overtaxation of one ul the interior provinces of China. The i old Asiatic maxim, 'Better have tho enemy than tho tax gatherer,' certain ly appllOH in that country. Instru ments of torture lie strewn about in of ticials' quarters in China as thickly m bare-ban bats, golf eiubs and teunU j racquets around the collages of tlx; summer resldouts at Nurragausetl I Pier. Huge paddles, tho cruel wooden I collar bolted on the offender's neck in ; such a manner as to make a reclining attitude impossible and thus destroy sloep, hugo iron bars chained to an in dividual, sometimes for ufe, woo inns travels through the buzaar, euch step , causing pain, are not uncommon sights I in the bazaar of Kashgar. Tnese op ' pressions, together with Cnircs? vices, ! destroys every Asiatic race which iwt i the misfortune to coiuc in contact with tho Chinese. It is only necessary, in ; answer to Uio.-c who deplore l!io loss of liberty that Asiatics lose when they : are conquered ami guvorned by Euro peans, to rccail to them that the i lands of Hongkong and S Dg'.iporo wi re entirely barren when taken u, the English. Today they ace among the most thickly populated epoti on tht globe, caused by theChinrsj crowding into them to escape the tleme.it e op pression id their own country am! t; gain the liberty thcyubl.ilu n. living unter British rule. " As Herbert Spencer once i. intoii out to the Americans: 'i. >ert> means nothing if it does not in an in dividual liberty. Von may easily break away from a country and nave a so called political liberty, and uevertho less establish a tyranny among your selves.1 In China this is reversed ; the Chinese must leave home to a> quire liberty. " I, for one, hope the allied forces uro in Poking to stay. If England can govern India, tho allied nations o( Eu rope can give to China a freer und bo!' ter government than they unj >y by governing themselves to-day. It is u I be reraombered that it is the last gn at I portion of the temperate /.one where a white man can live and develop it* re ; sources, which in tho end will be so i hcncih inl tu both Chinamen and for eigm rs ; as tho English government of ! both Egypt and India has been to both the natives ami Englishmen. Ol j course, the present regulative, and ad ministrative system of China would j havo largely to bo retained anil usjd by the CODquorors, but this has been tho necessary policy of conquering na tions since tho day of Theodrlo. "Government by joint occupation by the allies would no douht pn sent many dllllcultlos, hut a. I have just Implied, any government Is bettor than Chinese government by the Chinese, and a joint occupation will probably prevent the break up of China Into 'spheres of lolluoiico' and ' kocp it as it is today the groat terri tory where trade couid have its irecst ' scopo, and competition bring lorth its j most beneficial result--. There are doubtless many t"v.timcntnl anti ex pansionists, wKi do not know Asia and the Asiatic^, who will begin to call this Oppression, and who at the same ?'..io will begin t:> call Prince Tuan a Washington, etc. But Asiatics do not breod Washingtons. No one can point, in tbo history of Asia, among its great men to any who wore not sein! bar baric, harsh, oppressive and cruel tyrants." RITT'S Antiseptic Iniorator!

"Tho enumerators' shoots arc not. ail in us yot, but it is already known ' that tho returns will show that thoro | uro in the country hot woo n .">,.*iUO,0(Hi and i>,OlX),UOO separate farmers. Our inquiries regarding the conditions existing on these properties include ! tho tenure, livo stock and general equipment. Tho enumerators' return* . j havo been a little complicated, owing ' I to tho number ami imnortaiicu of the questions, and wo ha?o boon obliged [ ! so far 10 send out about 250,000 letters ! iu order to got reliable data to com pleteour schedules. But when this in 1 i lormatiou is all tabulated it will fur- | nish tho country with somo very valu- ; ablo facts. " An effort Is being mado In the pre- j scut census to got reliublo data on the | subject of tenure of farms lu general, wltti a view of showing to what extent tho land of tho country is being held by landed proprietors and whether or not farm tonano* s likely to become the established policy in this country. Thesd luqulries havo developed no end of dillicultics, us it has boon found that negroes and ignorant whites have up parontiy no Idoa ol their own affairs. Another phase of tho situation .u the difficulty of separating tho partial tenures, which moans farms operated on shares, from those for which yearly rent is paid. "This is especially so in the South. Some of tho largo plantations in that sectiou havo been divided up luto nun dreds of pluts of a few acres ouch, which aro worked by tho blacks on share.-. Among these people the cu umerators havo experienced great dif ficulty In getting any accurate informa tion us to tho value uf the lutid or pro ducts. "Another very interesting exhibit will bo the ligures on livo stock. These schedules aro nearly complete and 1 expect very soon to bo able to furnish tue statistics for tho cities. In these schedules, us in tho others, wo have mado no arbitrary decid'ons, but have endeavored to get only exact Informa tion. One' of the most Interesting fea tures of this exhibit will he the 'dairy' ligures. livery poison who Keeps three or more cows ar.d disposes ol tho milk wo havo classified as a dairy. "Tho livestock question iu tho West presented Borne dillioultles, but we. be I lievo that they have boon successfully ' disposed of. for instance, you can see ; that cattle on tho range might be in j one Stale to day und somowhoro else to-morrow, as they not only travel on j the hoof extensively, but arc aloo transported from one grazing ground to other by tho railroads. " In addition to tho above many 1 other valuable facts regarding the economic and suctal position of the cul tivators of th roil are included iu our inquiries. "Special attention will be paid to ligures and facis relating to the pro duction of tho big crops, buch us wheat, corn, cottou. nee. tobacco and hay, in relation to tho cost Gonerally speak log, it will b-e the aim of the bureau to compile thciio statistics in such form as to bo of uso to the student of econo | mics. lie will be ablo to loll the num ber of farms, their value, tho vsluc ol their production, the cost of labor for working them in different sections and the comparative incomes of the white and black farmer. " These Oguros will not bo ready for use fur more than two years yet, but the bureau will probably gut out bul letin!-, from time to time, on special subj :e's." ?--? . ? ? mm - ?A young bridge keeper, Peter Con neliy by name, dived f>0 fvet from the Central bridge into thr llurlem river and saved a drowning boy.
