The first busiuess before the conven ion was the adoption of an amendment a the constitution proposed at the last neeting, changing the constitution so s to make one-third instead of one-half quorum upon motion the amendment vas adopted without dissent. The next business was the election of he delegates to the State Convention; rhich was the main business of the con rention. The following nominations were made ; R. T, C. Hunter, John T. Duncan, i1. F. Longr, Thompson Conner, M. Mi. uford (Mr. Buford declined), Y. J.

Duncan and ananimously adopted without debate : Resolved, That our delegates be in tructed to support energetically in the tate Convention every measure looking to the establishment of an agricultural nd mechanical college separate and spart fronm the State University and to the reorganization of the agricultural board in such manner as will put that board in the hands of the real friends of the farmers. Mr. J. T. Duncan made a statement to the convention in regard to the resolu ions passed at the July meeting in regard to the request of the convention to the Board of Agriculture to postpone action on the establishiment of the liperimnen p.al Stations, but he did not have the dates with hinm. We have received the olowing letter from Mr. Duncan, which we insert here: MR. DUNCAN'S LETT'ER. LIBERTY HALL, October 4th, 1837. In reporting the action of the Board of Agriculture with the regard to the resolutions adopted at our Farmers' meeting in July, I did not give you the dates. I wish to do so now. I say if the resglqtions wepe gt all de sei-yirig of the gttentign of the board of Agricu4jgre, they deserved more promnpt 4ttentlonl, If .( rememnber oorrectly, I mailed the resolutions to Col. Butler Aug. 6th . See retary L. A. Ransom writes me under date of Sept. 28th that "the copy of the resolutions wan laid .before the, Board of Agriculture to-day.". There appears to be no undue haste on the part of Col. Butler in laying them before the board-a lapse of fifty days or more. My only- surprise is that in the hur ry of executing the "'mandatory"' duty im posed on this Board of Agriculture by the Legislature-that of estgbishingk the agrialtgraE stations-for I am inforined tigt the mattyr 4ad bppn acted uzpon-, g y onl y surprise is that our resolutions were not entirely overlooked. J. T. DUNCAN, Secretar y Farmers' Association. Mr. J. C. Goggans stated that each delegate was to pay one dollar towards defraying the expenses of the State Convention and he thought this money should be paid by the county club, al though the treasurer now had only *1.75 n hanq. Mr. J. L. lieitt tpoved thizt the town hip cl4bs he assessed ten dollars. Carried. A motion was then made that each club be assessed 50 cents. The mio tion prevailed. The money was soon raised and a mo tion to adjourn prevailed, land the con vention adjourned to meet at the call of the president. Bill Pads, Letter Pads, &c., &c., at J. W. Chapman's. - - 3 -ti.

Blalock, who has been living with his uncle J. S. Blalock, has moved to Spartanburg. We have been informed that Mr. L. W. C. Blalock will move back to his place here another year. The champion farmer of the county, Mr. J. S. Blalock, has out 75 bales of cotton, and I dare say over 100 open in the field. The farmers all seem cheerful as to the price they get for their cotton, and some have told me they will get straight this year and they will stay so. The crops along the road are simply splendid. The farmers are gathering the fleecy staple with rapidity, and the weather has been fine for gathering, al though in some sections the rains (lid a good deal of damage to the cotton by beating it out. The prices range from 40 to 50 cents a hundred for picking, and laborers are scarce at that. We have just returned from a visit to our old home, Chappells, and our visit was certainly one of much pleasure. Chappells is certainly the most moral and religious place in the county since Mr. Leitch's meeting there. They have prayer meeting there twice a week, con ducted by young men-and not any par ticular one; any of them conducts them. And it certainly gave me a great deal of pleasure to see the interest the young men take in religious matters. ANON. EXCELSIOR NOTES. Not much rain yet. Excelsior school will re-open again soon.

While at Prosperity Saturday evening we had the pleasure of witnessing a match game of baseball between the Mt. Pilgrim and Prosperity "juvenile nines." We al ways enjoy looking on in such games but we do not take any pride whatever in catching those fast travelling balls. The closing exercises of Prof. J. 3.

The Co-acert. To all who appreciate operatic music, and who have ears for singing, and who do not expect professional acting by amateur debutantes, was presented a first class entertainment at the opera house on Thursday night last. It was decidedly a success. There was a good audience present, and it was a .very at tentive one. It is a difficult matter to arrange an entertainment of that character to please entirely a large, critical audience, especially those many would-be critics (?) of great minds and those who always expect too much and are consequently always disappointed. We are not too easily pleased, and, while we will not allow our impartiality to get the better of our judgment, still we wish to be fair in our criticism. Therefore, taking into consideration the limited time for rehearsals, the h:ste in preparation, the "freshness" of some of the performers and the difficulties undes which they labored, we unhesitatingly pronounce the entertainment first class. There are those who are "nothing if not critical," and if one should say a thing was good they are ready to pass judg ment upon his judgment. The excellent programme was well arranged and rendered in fine style. The band opened the performance with Herndon's beautiful andante and waltz, "Vera." "Deep in this poor heart," and "Barcarole," respectively, were sweetly sung, the former by Mrs. Rob ertson, Mr. Moody and Dr. Jones; the latter by Misses Metts and Rives, and were roundly applauded, as in fact was the entire programme. The instrumen tal quartette-Miss Holbrook. Mrs. Rob ertson, Messrs. Werber and Taylor excelled all their previous renditions in fine and difficdlt playing. Miss Annie Cargill, in "The Flower Girl," was de lightfully graceful and natural and her voice well modulated. She was heartily encored, and acknowledged the compli ment by a simple but sufficient bow. Thus did the audience show its respect for Georgia. The song by Mes4rs. T. D. Lake. 0. 74, Schumpert, Dr. Johnstone, Me. Metts, S. B. Jones and Drs. Jones and Kibler was as good as we care to hear. Their voices have the ring of the right metal. The cornet solo by Mr. J. W. Taylor v as superb. Mrs. Robertson in the next soprano solo exhibited the power of her voice in the high keys, and Miss Metts, Miss Lelia Rives and Miss Sallie Metts, in a pretty little song, showed that they could trill in the opera as well as sing in a choir. The last song was sung by all the voices, male and female, supplemented by Miss Alma % erber, and was warmly received. Thus ended the first part. The second part of the programme, after allowing time for those of the audience, who desired so to do, to go out and see if the night was still clear, consisted of the farce of Slasher and Crasher, with Dr. E. C. Jones as Blow hard, Mr. A. J. Sproles as Slasher, Mr. John W. Earheardt as Crasher, Mr. B. B. Davis as Brown, Mr. M. L. Spearman as Dinah Blowhard, and Master Pierre Mazyck as Rosa. Dr. Jones was inimitable in the cbar acter of old Blowhard; Mr. Sproles, in his conception of Mr. Slasher, carried it out to the letter and repeatedly brought down the house with his original local isms, and gave evidence of genuine tal ent as a comedian; Mr. Earheardt per formed the part of Crasher with as much naturalness and ease as if he had been accustomed to the stage instead of tins being his first appearance be fore the footlights; Mr. Davis did not have much to do on the part of Brown, and did not have a chance to show all his ability to advantage, but what he did was -done with neatness and dis patch; Mr. Spearnman made a good look ing Dinah and Pierre Mazyck really looked like a pretty little black-haired girl. It is not an easy thing for a man or boy to wear dresses and bangs, etc., and to imitate a be(s)witching girl, but those two "got through" admirably well. While the play centered of course on Messrs. Slasher & Crasher, we know the older ones will not object to our picking up Pierre and saying that he is entitled to a big slice "of the cake." Gross receipts, $95.00. It would not be amiss to repeat the play at Prosperity and Clinton. BUREt JoycE. Resolution of Thanks.
