FINE COTTON STALKs.--Mr. JEFF
ferson Davis, a very successful
planter of our vicinity, exhibited
to us a few days since, two cotton
stalks, some two feet in length,
each we'll limbed and covered with
squares, They are of the Dixon

says, of a hundred acre field, as
neat and clean as garden. He is

drawn by four handsome. we'll
matched dapple grays, tolthe Baptist
Church, spacious building, which
was soon filled with the eager throng
of interested friends. neighbors; and
associates of the deceased in war and
peace. In the rear of the pulpit, sat
a venerable pioneer Baptist minister
sold Uncle BOBBY King"-eighty-
eight years of-age, and Rev. Mr..
Harmon, of the Methodist Church,
not yet oue.fourth of that age. On
the lef; of the pulpit, on the front
seat, were the surviving family OF
Judge Orr Mrs. Orr and her sons,
NJ. James Lawrence Orr and Samu
el Orr and Christopher, and Mrs.
Patterson, her daughther, and Mr..
VIM. Patterson, son.in law. In the
next pew, sat Dr. Samuel Marshall,
brother of Mrs. Orr. and family, from
Greenville. The Masons, in large
numbers, in full .regalia, occupied
seats on the same side, and on the
other side, in a corresponding posi-
ton, were grouped, under command
of Col. Med Miller, we suppose for
the first time since tae close Of the
war, and probably the last on earth,
about 200 men, the remainder Of that
gallant and ,oble band which mus
tered at Sunday Spring, and went out
to the war in Virginia az Orrs Regi-
ment of Rifles. Rev: Ellison Capers
of Greenville, read, in clear but some
times trembling tones, the burial ser
vice of the Episcopal Church; There
were two seats Of pail bearers, one
representing the Masonic order, and
the other appointed by the family.
At the conclusion Of the services in
the Church, the procession, under di-
rection of Maj. W.. W. Humphreys,
Chief Marshal, and his Assistants,
Messrs. John q. Clarke and l.. b..
Seel, proceeded to the Presbyterian
graveyard, where, in the presence of
between 5000 and 1000 persons, all
that was mortal Of James L. Orr
was buried with full Masonic honors.
These ceremonies were highly inter-
esting and beautiful. and were con-
Quoted by Worshipful Master James
A. Hoyt. The Masons wore black
coats, high. hats, with white Grape,
white gloves and plain white aprons.
When the Masonic address, responses
and prayers were regularly gone
through, Worshipfal Master Hoyt
deposited on the casket, to be buried
with it, an apron ofa Grand Master Of
New York, another of Worshipful
Master Berg, of Columbia, and anoth.
or which he took from his person of
the Wvrshipful Master Of Hiram
Lodge, all in token of affection and
respect for the deceased. The whole
body of Masons then marched in a
circle three times round the casket,
singing a touching Masonic hymn

The Juries were dismissed on
Friday, and the Court adjourned
over until Monday morning of the
present week, which will be occu'
pied in the settlement of cases not
requiring ajury.
AT the opening of the Court on
Monday, the prisoner Jerry Cole,
man who had been convicted OF
murder, was arraigned for sentence.
and his counsel, Messrs. Burt,
Thomson and Noble, submitted
motions for New Trial and in ar
rest of. Judgment upon various
grounds set forth-thc illegibility

that number of the grand jurors
had been summoned from the by
standers, and in the ye1aire had been
directed to attend only at the Febru-
ary Term-that the Petit Juries had
not been summoned by legal depu.
ties-that the Judge had charged
toe strongly upon the facts of the
case, and thus encroached upon. the
province Of the jury. The Court
held that the finding was entirely
[intelligible-that the objections to
| the Jury were mere irregularities,
which ,were cured by the verdict !;
and that as to the charge OF th'
Judge, his notes. showed that he
had kept within the limits prescrib
ed by the Constitution, and had
left the whole question OF fact to
the decision of the jury.
The counsel for the prisoner hav-
ing given notice of an appeal to
the Supreme Court, and prayed a
suspension OF sentence until after
the next session of that Court.
His Honor proceeded to sentence
him to be hung at Ninety-Six,
where the murder was committed.
on the I'd Friday, the 18th Febru-
ary, 1874, after first exhorting him
to dismiss all hope of relief, and to
prepare for the death which, proba-
bly, would so soon await him.

The FARMERS MovEMENT.-The
movement of the oranges out West,
seems to be progressing with rapid
strides, and will largely influence
the coming State elections, and
doubtless the great contest for the
Presidency in 1876. The recent
success of the movement in Illinois
has paved the way for another con-
test in the Fall, and Iowa has called
a State convention to nominate
State officers in August. The key
note of the movement, is opposition
to all monopolies caused by Con-
gress or the State legislatures -the

dOrsed by Wisconsin, having a ma
jority of thirtv-eight. John p. Jones
was elected Senator from Nevada by
a majority on joint ballot of nineteen
Lyman Trumbull was defeated by
Governor Oglesby, who received a
majority of thirty seven over Trum-
bull and Coalbaugh Senator Conk-
ling was reelected from New York
by the sweeping majority of seven

beng more than three to one. The
