BY request of q number of our citizens,
personally and by letter, We give notice that
public meeting of the citizens Of this county
will be held in the Court House at Walhalla on
Friday, the 23d instant, at IL o'clock q. NJ
The object of the meeting is to appoint delegates
to attend the convention TO be held in Columbia
on the 9th instant in the cause OF temperance.
As this question is agita,ing the public mind
and as any action in the matter may prove
of social and political interest, it is thought
every county of the State should be represented
in the convention. a large attendance of our
citizens is requested. Addresses will be made
by prominent men Of the county Let all who

Guano Debts.

The actual slIortncss of the present crop in
this State and the distress in store for our
people arc best seen in the public meetings
OF tarmcrs called for tho purpose of com
promising or in some way so arranging thcir
Indebtedness for fertilizers as to save some
thing from the general ruin. These actions,
based on the dcplOrable condition of farmers
and looking to some mode Of relief. ind-
cate less crop than has been anticipated.
We hardly think the farmers will be abIc to
secure any reduction of their ndebtness,
but by paying oil their crops on their liens
they may secure future credit and by judis
clous farming repair the evil next year.
doubtless the largest cotton crop ever planted
in this State was pitched this year and in our
section the farmers have laborcd faithfully
and cultivated their crop we'll, but tho
drought has mado frutless all their labor.
1t is hnrd. but to pay up honest debts is the
only road to future credit We believe the
farmers in South Carolina nro both willing
and desire to do this, and also believe crcd-
itors will aud should extend them indulgence.
Guano companies may find it to their bencti
to reduce in some degree the price Of fertil..
zcrs.
Wc have not heard the result of the meet
ing called at Seneca last Saturday. Meet
ings hnvc also been held in tho counties of
Grecnvile, Anderson, York, Lexington,
Clarendon and Abbevlle and the movement
is spreading, more or less, over the State. IF
no other good is accomplished. these meetings
will doubtless direct public attention to tho
necessity of economizing and saving oil
articles which may be used as food for men
and animals. The general failure will also
cause farmers hereafter to venture less upon
liens and to diversity their crops.

of the Jail. A few scconds brought him

The Present Year.

This has been year of disasters by land
and by sea. lloavy storms have destroyed
many vessels and lives and tho drops along
tho coast have been greatly injured by tho
late storm. Lowland rico has been cut
off nearly one hnlf in eomo SECTIONS aud tho
drought has destroyed the upland rice almost
entirely. The corn crop Of tho whole coun-
try will be short, while the grasses in tho
North and West are parchcd up. Bacon and
flour are higher than they havo been for
years. Tho cotton crop is largely short and
is selling ALMOST rs low as last year. The
great body of tho people find themselves
in debt with lit,lo money or credit. TO add
to the desolation created by the drought and
storms great forest fros hhvo broken out and
are devastating fertile sections Of tho North
west. Dispatches from Michigan report fivo
hundred or moro people burned to death,
towns destroyed, crops, woods and every
species of vegetation in flames. Eight or
ten towns have been burned and dwellings,
and crops in several counties completely
destroyed. The amount Of tho damago has
not been ascertaincd but largo area Of
country is dependent on charity for subsist
encc. Wo have never boen ablo to under.
stand how trecs, crops and vegetables in mid.
summer, when everything here is green, can
take fire and tho flames spread SO rapidly ns
to defy escape. Suoh is, however, the
fact in tho Northwest and this shows the
great advantage Of living in tho South, where
the extremes Of heat md cold arc less than
in the North. We seldom suffer from tho
army worms or tho. grasshoppcrs and mover
from forest fires. Why do not cmigrauts
seek this favored section, with its cquabe
climate, its salubr:ous atmosphere aud its
many stuplc products? And why do our
people pull up and moyc to less favored scc-
tons 2 Taking oil in all it would be hard to
find more desirable country to 1.-Two in than
tho Piedmont belt Of South Carolina.
