Arkansas-Tbo cotton crop In some Sec

Florida-Wcather good for picking which
is nearly finished. Two thirds of the crop
has been maj keted.
Gcorsia-Thc past week has been favor
able for gathering. The dry, hot weather
has caused cotton to open unusually fast and
it is being picked as fast us it opens. Very
little of tho crop has been marketed the
planters being too busy. A heavy irost

hanging occurred about noon, aud Trial
Justice Hawthorne came down from Greens
viilo arriving on the scene tonight and
finding tho body hanging stiff and straight
among the trecs in tho moonlight With the
feet almost touching tho dcad leaves on the
ground. The remains were cut down and q
jury empaDneled. s. 4. Hammond being
foreman. No witnesses we're examined and
after viewing the body d verdict of doath by
hanging at tho hands of unknown parties
was rendered. Williams was dark, copper
coiorcd negro about twenty two years old
apparently, his face being smooth aud
boardless. In death his eun:enanco did
not look like that Of bad nun, but like tho
oily smiling and deccit.ul smilo Of negro.
His dress and general appearance is that of
the ordinary field hand. He was Hyo feet
ton and we'll built. Tho features were
not at all distorted, The neck being probably
broken, as regulation hangman's knot,
artistfcally arranged, was used The dead
man was formerly citizen of Grccnville
and worked on Leonard Williams place.
Littlo is known of him in this section, but
he is said to have wife and two children.
Ills poople live near Green's Mill, on Eicll>
land creek. lie requested to be buried in
the oolotcd burying ground at Csccnville.
Tho body now lays on tho hillside near
where il fell, tho colored people REFUSING to
60 near it. a box is being mado and white
mon will bury it where it is. Williams
sic.im is in precarious condition, and
physicians are attending her. An operation
was performed on her this morning.

PELZER, S. c., Noyember 4.

A little orphan gil, nine years old named
Blayton, was outraged several days neo at
the Eev. Mr.. McBee's, in Greenville, near
Reedy River, under circumstances of pecu-
liar atrocity. She was ward of tho Rev.
Mr.. Attaway, Of Williamson, bein. in
Greepville on n visit, and on her return home
her condition was discovered. She then
confessed and det ilod tho horrible circum-
stances of the crime which was committed
by Robert Williams, colored, in cotton
field, in which tboy were ot work together.
LII had thi eatcned to cut her throat if she
told Of it, and terrorized her into silence.
Last night he was invested, and this morning
was to ken to Williamst on and identified ty

guard house ut that place by citizens of An

Thus far very few Of our citizens havo gone
to The Exposition. Wc presume that tho main
cause of this may be attributed to tho short
crops and the largo amount Of filthy lucre they
are compelled 10 administer in tho shane Of
cordia's to hotel and boarding. house keepers
whilo in Atlanta.
The principal part Of Tho cotton crop has
been gathered and it is ascertained that tho
yield IL to some extent better than was an;ici-
pa'ed. About lwo-thirds of crop has been
made in this immediate vicinity.
Corn will be short crop, but tho deficiency
will perhaps be more than madc up by tho i'm
mense quantity of hay that is being saved, and
If the people would only dcviate from tho
habitual use of ridiculous uxrrcs and use
judicious management, 1 think this year would
not provo extremely detrimental after all.

The Exposition.

| ATLANTA, November 6.--T.ast week wa
tho best that the Exposition has had. Th
number OF visitors was increased forty &c
cent This week cheap .ates 60 into caec
on oil Southern lines. The preliminary trim
OF cotton gins and cleaners will DO had OF
Wednesday. Cotton FOR this test has beer
selected from single field. Each compoti
tor will be given hundred pounds, tim,
will be taken and fibre and seed weighed
after ginning. Each lot Of lint will be packed
separately, and parcels will be sent 10 Boston
for inspection at tho meeting Of the New
England Cotton Manufacturers Association
on Novem bcr 90. The actual competition OIL
| gins and cleaners for awards will occur in
| December, when tho National Cotton Plant
e's' Association will he in session Another
large delegation of spinners will attend this
competition, which is expected 10 settle cou-
cusirely several questions Of vital impor.
tance to tho iutule Of cotton culture.
The following statement is furnished to
tho Press by Mcssrs Atkinson and Garsccd
in bchaf Of tho National Cotton Factoro'
Association: The f.st committee of the
New England cotton, manufacturers, and
their friends, have separated, mostly going
homo. They concur in tho opinion that tho
meeting of the National Cotton Planters
Association. TO be held December 9th three
hund, ed to six hundred; in number, should
be met by on equal number Of manuiac,u.
rcrs from tho North. Thcv affirm that if
this Gun be brought about it alone will fully
justify the Cotton Exposition. They have
found that tools and machinery for pluntiug
and preparing cotton for the shipper arc of
tho utmost importance to both grower and
spinner They have iuund an cxhibi ion of
cotton machinery such rs has never been
brought together in this country or else
where. They have found in the annex
buildings evidence of natural resources of
the Southern section in agriculture, in com
merce. in minerals and in timber which
could not be eduallcd from another equal
area of the ea, THIS surface; and in the use to
which these sources will sho. tly be applied
they find promise ofa vastly gleater number OF
customers for their own mills Than theg ex-
pcct to find competitors in Southern mills.
They haVo met Southern manufacturers with
hearty good will and on earnest wish io,
Their success. They concur unanimously in
the Judgment that there is greater promise of
improvement in many directions, but esrc.
cially in the handling OF cotton, which would
cmanatc rom this exhibition than ,lom any
over held belo,c. They earnestly hope that
the North will meet crowds from Tho South
that the bcnefcent influence of Ibis meeting
may extend beyond material interests and
work common good for our common
country.
