Nov. 12.?Wc I ave had very fine weather
I for pntheriug cotton, orn nnd other fnriu
pioduce for the last week, bui pi ices a-c
very l< w, so low that the producer cauti -t
pay expenses. Wlitn fu-ni producis get below
the urceisary expenses to raise them it
is time to call a halt. What the firmer* in
ginoral aro going to do about their debts I '
cannot see.
Tho wiiter took atrip to Spartaubug last
Monday in a wagon to movo the widow of
Dr. \Y. T. D ilton back to the ltidgc. 1 arrived
in the city at two o'clock aud was
wilco ncd in the home of General Holland.
Afier securing our stock we went out to the
hot o yard where wo saw all kind of stock
ftom the sixc of a mastiff dog to an elephant.
Pome were fat as mud nnd some as poor a*
Job's turkey. Some were gentlo and mildtcrnpircd
while othivs were ill and contrary

walking about looking over the town 1 s%w
n disgusting s;ght, it was this: A white
man nud negro got into a dispute, tho darkey
struck the white man with a rock and
then col'nred him. The police theu stepped
up and pulled them apart and arrested
the white man and let the negro go free,
which was very offensive to a l'ea I'idger's '
feeling. The dispensary constables were in
Spartanburg looking after the blind tigers. |
Late Monday evening they denned one but
the 6tripcJ animal would not allow any pcrs n
to go into his don, but the sherilf and his j
assistants. Tho const.tides *< ere very caiiu
and did not raise ai y rue us about the matter.
About sundown a policeman a'tempted to
arrest a man by the name of Leo but fiiled
on some account. 1 think the otlicir got a
little wcak-kceed l'.,r it looked very much
like there would he sor?? one hurt from the
way pistols were being drawn. I loft and
went to Mr. Holland's and there had a
pleasant time until Tuesday morning, when
1 put my mules to the wagnn and bid Mr.
Holland and family adieu and lefi Spartanburg.
Mr. S. J. II. Howell iost his youngest

Ilcr sickness was dropsy of the heart.
Last Wednesday morning was the first 1
morning cold enough for ice this fall.
Antony Honey's house caught on fire and }
was confined with all that was within, lie
only sav ' one sheet. Antony is a '
hardworking colored man and is a peacnble 1
fellow mid 1 think lie will have his loss inrde l.
up by bis neighbors.

Nov. 111.?Winter is upon us in earnest at b
last, but most people aro very well prepared b
for it, ns most of the crops have been h- ti
ere 1 in d
The election last week was uot attcuded
with any great interest, about the only It
tiling that seemed to stir tho peop'o at all st
was the Constitutional Convention. A good n
ninny of the colored bretheti turned out to
vote "No" ami they v led also for l'ope and at
Mellon, but tlie convention iiicstioii was di
what brought thoui out, or I It ey wot'. Id tli
hardly have turned out at all. Out of a total bi
vote of both races in the Township of duO, tli
only l'tl voles were polled. All went oil" ge
>iuiet and we aro trying to get settled down
to peace and harmony. wt
For the information of my friend and
brother C. It. It., of sedalia, I would say pr
that all the mules I ever remember seeing ex
about Joncswrillc with bui una ?<MiitUn l.u.l it..
four legs. They have no Itiml -dtouldcrs ar
^they take that jmrt out in leg-, which is lite tit
conspicuous i art of tite ino'c. The *e
H^^^Hcxcc]>(iutt I speak ot I became acquainted br
in litis way. A man that didn't live n is
^^hundre I miles from Joncsvtllc hail a law ay
suit at Spartanburg, and lie employed the ar
Hon. Stanjarne Wilson as attorney, giving co
hint a note for thirty dollars for the fee ami wi
a utot tgnge on a inulc to secure the same. 'I'll
Some time afterwards Mr. Wilson sent the be
papers to me and requested that 1 closo the an
mortgage, sat sly litysc'f f r trouble and sil
fend hint his money. 1 deputized a man us
constable and sent hint for the mule and
when he brought it in it had but three legs.
I advertised and sold according to the terms
set out in the mortgnge ami the mule brought
fivo dol'nrs. 1 reserved ten per cent, commission,
fifty cents, | aid the constable two
dollars and 50cents and sent Mr. Wilson tho
balance, two dollars. The gentleman that
give Mr. Wi'son the mortgage is a reformer
and of course we all know where Mr. Wilsou
stands. Mr. 0. 11. 11. might have known
the wart removed from the mule at Joinsvtlle
tho other day was not on tho mule's
hinder paiIs or the doctor and all who as- .
fisted him would have been dead instead of 1
the ntule. . ni

The meeting at the Presbyterian church, ' 1
which commenced last Thursday night,
closed last night. Kcv. A. A. James, the
pastor, conducted the meeting. Last night 01
the Kcv. W. A. Kodgerp, of Spartanburg, w
preached in the Presbyterian church. Mr. "

now. 1
The County Treasurer with his assistant r

nnv 15.?"Hard times, and wu?s ft' i
comin," is an old darkey song thet was 1
commonly sung last year, but now it is being
ung with mote "pathos' thnn ever. All
of ibe talk now nearly is "hard times." unless
it is election news, nn<l s> ibero is not
my other news of much consequence The
people here nnd others whom 1 have heard
tu k are not at all surprised at tho result of
the elcciioi s in many of the other Fiatcs.
bioause whon tho majority of the people
lost confidence in tho present "powers that
be," nationally, they began to look for this
turn, end so were prepared for it.
'ibero is much talk concerning lloddey's
chetne to form a Farmers Trust, to regulate
cotton prices, and the scheme is bo
coining quite prominent. Some think it the
very Ihng. and some doubt it ; whether the
people could bo held together for the purpose
<r not Slid all admit that something
is necessity, and must bo done. People
are getting in a tad (is. Some contractod
deb's under eight and ten cent cotton, and
now have to pay them off with five cent cotton,
when it is strongly denied that it can
bo made nt that at a 1. And the consequence
is, they can t pay it iu one year and live.
They are making sacrifices now, to (heir
lc'r.ment.
Mr. Roddey says that all of tlio factories,
North and 1' s?, n'C combined against the
irtluoer of r.tw material, and ho might
it .v Veen safe in adding 'South.' For it is
cer: i' money is made out of cotton somcwlte
o Lab r is cheap, away below i's
wor li 1 am tol l, and cotton is cheap, away
below i s w rib, and tlien inferior cotton
goo Is arc up, awny above their worth.
Thetc areg"d? on the market now nt not
less than live cuts per yard, that would
almost niiMver f r milk strainers, and is so
iiiivnor uai H can not aniwcr for ft working
man's shirt, ns i> cannot last long, an<l is
t-o expensive. Of such cloth, ono pound of
cotton \vi 1 nuke not lets than eight yar.ls
and the fae'oti.-s must be more than doubling
their irotoy. If a farmer could make
cle? r of oil expenses, three cents a pound
on his cotton he could make money and
spend it in icviving trade. The question
is, "What must he done?'' I think what
would he be!It than trusts, would be neighborhood
factories on a small scale. If the
farmers of a mighkorhood would get together,
find oni It >w many cords and spinMrs
it required to keep one loom running,
ind how ti.any tnles of cotton a loom cott'd
make up in a yuir, and put up a f ct- ry,
not for the show of a fine and costly structure?work
up their co'ton and sell the
doth, they might do better than trying to
rorm trusts. As to the expense, let each
taan's bo in proportion to ilie amount of
lotton lie had to wotk up. A set of operaives
cotil 1 tie employed, and employment
>o given all of the year. As some planters
would ltav.c to await some time before their
doth was put on the market, no doubt thoir
ireditors would be lenient with Ihotn, knowng
that they were meaning we 1. There
would bo no danger of not sel ing goods, for
hesc big factories sometime' run on douhlo
imc t> supply the demand, and arc brazen
iiiougli to tell you at the same time that
here is no overproduction. Now why cau't
list as good clot It lie made w here just from
ive to ten looms arc run, as where five hunIred.
One loom in a house by itsc'f would
tot do any more work than f it had a liunlre
I companions. It might be a better rim
or a few who arc able or cttld get the
aouey, to put up small factories, end work
ip the cotion of a community, and charge
lie patrons a toll, and run iliciu under the
nine piinciplc thai a gin ry or mill is run.
hat p'an would not require so much money
o run it, as the owner would not have to
my the material nor pay a man to do it
'lien there would not be such a good chance
o monopolize (lie thing, as there seems to
e now, for there are strong suspicions of a
rust formed to the awful iiuit of the proofing
classes.
I may have put this in a very bid shape
> bring i' out, as I would like, but 1 hope i
one of the older and better informed men, i
ut only farmers, but all who know that <
agriculture is tlie source of all wealth," I
id is in sympathy, w? uUl take it up an I <
iseuss fully, and you may do great good, as j
lis is a progressive age, tut I I firmly
dieve it can be done, and will lie fur better
an so much cor.centraton, as concentrations
nera'ly hint things.

Our farmers are pretty we 1 fortified with J
visions for next year, and under the same

Nov. 1 '2.?Since last week the thermometer
is dropped down to the freezing point,
id we find ourselves this morning in
id'Wintcr air.
A good deal of cotton i3 still iu the field,
id it will no doubt remain there unless the
ico will justify farmers to give more for
eking it out.
For many years wc have been trying to
it a c ?py of an oil Union Jpaper celled,
e think, "The I nionville Journal.'" it
>ntains tho confession of l'liinens 11.
dnisou who was executed about February
March for the murder of Mary Arm
ja't. '1'hc confession was written out by
ir old friend, Col. I. (1. McKissick who
as then clerk of the conn. If some of our
aders will send us a copy containing it
icy will confer a great favor. This
iiil'cssion is one of the most noted documents
r its kind we ever read. Speaking of
imsclf the culprit began: "I now find
(linens II. Johnson in prison, waiting to
eccivc the Sentence of the law," etc.
Dr. M. W. Smith, of Gaffney City, who lias
ecn treating tpiiic a number of liver cases
i the upper part of this county reports
lem nil as convalescent, lie is an old
ractitioner. Having served in the army
ndcr Drs. Bratlou, Thompson and others
rlio were among tnc ioremosi men 01 metr
rofossion in those days.
We are glad to note that this awful
mlndy is subsiding in our county. Mr.
sane Patrick's family has suffered greatly
>y it, and Mr. J. S. Hammed s son Alon/.o,
s just now beginning to recover. Quite a
lumber of colored people have died with it.
['his, in great measuro, was for want of
tursing. Our physician Dr. 15. D. Dates has
;ten very successful in his large practice.
It is our paiuful duty to announce (he
tenth of Mrs. II. 15. Kobcreon which took
>lnoo at her hoiuc near 9kull Shoals last
,veek after sevoral days of intense suffering
Die leaves a husband And family of small
ihildren to whom our hearts go out in full
lympathy iu their great loss.
The dangerous illness of Mrs. 9. M. Rice,
f., K. U., as reported to us has sent a pang
o the hearts of her many friends in this
:onimunity. She was reissd in this ac tion
*nd commands the respect of our people of
all classes
The poor especially have many kind words
for Kvi ina Hnrratt. May the angel of mercy
throw his arms around her and raise her
again io health and usefulness is our prayer.
As intimated in our last letter we had the
pleasure of attending the birthday dinner of
Mr. W illiam Preston (Joforth who attuiued
his mijorily Oil las' Saturday 10th inst. So
Ik* as wc observed this was qdo of the leading
aocial events of the season, to say nothing of
the sumptuous repast propared for the
occasion. In arranging the table Mrs.
tioforth was assisted by Mrs W. C. Kirby
and Mrs. N. Huice, who called to their
assistance quite a number of the young ledios
Who honored the occasion with their presence,
beauty anil smiles. On the table wo found
everything, from old-fashioned corn bread,
pork and turnips up to the tn >st artistically
made pound cukis wth correlative dainties
of almost every kind and raoie. To this add
a fu'l line of the confectioner's handiwork
av th a superabundance of tropical fruits and
the render will bo'tcr imagine than we can
describe tho ornamentations of the d niug
room.
The young f coplc of both sexes had a day
of special enjoyment. So did *c older ones,
loo?in fact, "we went for a purposo."

our responsibility is at an etui. Under the
