ONE ADVANTAGE.

We have at least the advantage of one
voice. Secession, however estlmable it
may be otherwise, is perfect Babel on
the Irish policy. 1t is admitted an all
hands that social order is the first of all
political aims. To secure this IN Ireland
the Liberals, who are for secession, offer
hundred conflicting remedies, or else no
remedies at all. These remarks are as APP
picable to the Tories as they are to the
Liberals. The opponents 10 the government
measure make a remarkable omission
IN their speeches. In each, whetRer sug-
gestive or tical, they fail to express con-
fidenceln the permanent success OF their
oppOsition.

present outlook of our community. In
deed, the picture is dark enough, even when
we view it from the very best standpoint,
but when we take the very gloomiest side
possible, as 81. B." has done, then the stu
alton becomes perfectly awful.
1 notice that 81. B." followed the water
courses in each of the different counties in
which he has travelled, hunting out the
worst possible localities he could and then
falls to grieving over it. He is careful not
to state anything about the possibilities
and probabilities of the upland corn.
| can assure you that almost all our farm
ers this season will make more wheat than
they can consume at home and many of
them plenty of oats to feed their stock for
six months of the year. Oats and early
sown wheat are good, and, while the wheat
is somewhat damaged by sprouting, it is by
no means ruined. 1 would ask 81. Is"

THE CONGRESSIONAL RACE.

The Fourth of July was celebrated at
Cheraw on Monday of last week, and after
the close of the patriotic exercises, a politi-
cal meeting wa held at night in which,
Congressman Hemphill, Gen. Law and 9TH
ers spoke. A correspondent of the News
and Courier writes as follows of the dis
custom:
Gen. E. M. Law, of York, an aspirant
for Congress from this district, first spoke.
He took issue with Congressman Hemp
hill on the silver question. and discussed at
some length the advantage to the Southern
people Of free and unlimited coinage: Mr.:
his position in this and other matters. Gen.
Law replied. The silver topic occupied the
entire meeting, and, judging from the re-
suit of last nights meeting, the fight in
this district is to be on that issue.

LETTER FROM ROCK HILL.

Rock HILL, July 1.-THE society of our
town has been enlivened for the past week
by a number of visiting young ladies. The
young men of the place will give a hop at
Roddey's Hall on Friday night, compli-
mentary to them.
Our boys were again disappointed on Fri
day afternoon at not having an opportunity
to meet the Yorkville Base Ball Club on the
diamond field. Yorkville need not be
afraid to play our boys. They are all boys
and expect to be defeated, but are anxious
to meet their Yorkville friends.
Mr.. George A. Cowan, who has ten acres
me that his crop is looking as we'll as could
be expected, considering the wet weather,
and he is very much pleased with tobacco
raising. He thinks that with proper care
and attention he will make a good crop.
The quarterly conference of Rock Hill
circuit, M. E. Church, was held at Cross
Roads Church on Saturday and Sunday last.
The presiding elder, Rev. A. ). Cauthen,
was present.
Rev. Edmund n. Joyner, of this place,
has been quite sick for the past week, and l
regret to learn that he is not improving as
fast as his many friends desire.
xThere are at the present time more grass
>Widowers in Rock Hill, especially in "West
End" than was ever before known. Mrs.
j. j. Hull and family are at Lancaster
Mrs. DIR. IT. A. Crawford and family and
Mrs. F. H. London and family are at Pitts
boro, n. c.; Mrs. Thomas L.. Johnston is at
Greensboro, and Mrs. B. NJ. FeWell is at
Asheville, N. G.. These old grass widoWers
are having a good time, but to say SO would
seem to be a dodge to cause their wives to
hasten home. Mr.. E. B. Rock, manager
of the Western Union Telegraph at this
place, and his family are visiting friends
and relatives at Charlottesville, Va.
Notice was given some days ago that a
meeting of the farmers of the eastern sec,
ton of Catawba township would be held at
Shiloh Church on Saturday last, for the pur,,
pose of organizing a Farmers Club. AS yet
I have not heard that the club w~asorganized,
but have reason to believe that it was, as
the farmers of that section are men of ener-
gy and ever ready and willing to do any
good they can for their fellow men. These
organizations can certainly do no harm, and
may accomplish much good.
Considerable cotton was sold in our mar
ket last week. HAL.

LETTER FROM FORT MILL.

Fort MILL, July 12.-Sickness has some
what abated here but the weather has con-
tinued unfavorable to farmers. The low
lands are still very wet, and it is now too
late to plant corn with the expectation OF
any return, save a crop of roasting ears.
The river has been again on the rampage.
The shocks of small grain standing in the
fields look like so many verdant little
mounds dotting the landscape. Very few
farmers have succeeded in saving wheat tit
for family use, and the yield. is very small.
Cotton seems to be doing better as the
weather gets warmer, but it is not we'll
fruited. Yesterday was very hot, and swell
tering humanity sought the shade WhereV-
er a iaint breeze stirred the foliage. A few
more such days will make a great and ia
vorable change in the outlook for a cotton
crop, but the precious plant cannot with
stand much of a drought just now. There
is no telling what outcome there may be de-
veloped in this crop in the neXttWo months,
but the prospect now is gloomy.
There has been some talk lately OF re-or-
ganizing the Farmers Club at Fort Mill;
but the people are so busy, or so discouraged,
that the project seems to have fallen through.
Such organizations, if properly maintained,
might prove of great benefit to our country;
but the old saw, "What is everybody'S busl-
HESS Is UOUOuy > DuSlilSSC, SS@'c ~
~pecially true in respect to these matters. 1t
is to be hoped that our farmers will pull out
of the old ruts and beat a new path more
suitable to their operations unde present
circumstances. AS all are dependent on the
farmer for a supply of food, so all of us
should be interested in his welfare, and none
more than themselves; but the listless, ap-
athletic modes, born of the old order Of
things, are hard to lay aside; indeed, there
is such a thing as being too conservative
and our farmers are afflicted with that all
ment, in such an aggravated form, that it
amounts to an inactivity which is anything
but mastery. The lazy club were 50 ex-
hausted by their extraordinary eXertionsin

Monday by the United States Senate. 1t
had already passed the House of Represen-

the President for his signature. AS it is a
general law, and not a special one, Mr..

this case. It gives these soldiers, and their

diana remain as in June, and Illinois gains
l point. The condition of spring wheath has
declined from 90 in June to 90, in conse-
quence of high temperature, drying winds
and lack of rain. In the principal States

THE CoTTO BELT.
The National Crop Exchange report for
the month of June, compiled by G. III. Park
err, Secretary, New Orleans, and published
last Saturday, says:
The meteorological report of June over
the cotton belt is in striking contrast with
the corresponding period of last year. The
conditions have been abnormal over pretty
nearly all the area east of the Mississippi.
Within these limits, embracing about two
thirds of the entire area under cotton, the
rainfall has been excessive, the temperature
~unfavorable and farm work has been retard-
ed, and over extensive districts almost en-
tirely suspended for all practical purposes,
causing grass to grow luXuriantly and rem
dering necessary the abandonment of some
lands in these States, embracing the Caro-
linas, Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi.
The cotton lands, particularly, have suffer-
ed severely, and fertile black lands have
lost much of the prospect they had. Over
most of these States the early spring was
cold and unfavorable. May conditions were
not good, and June has again lowered them
a little and rendered the outcome more crit
ical still. Over this area, embracing, as it
does, so large a percentage of upland, with
favorable condition in July and subsequent
ly-that is, seasonable showers, allowing
farm work in cleaning out grass, and the
absence of hot dry weather to bake the sat-
,,rotoI coil md cOoroh tho n1onfc which ho va
been rendered unhealthy by the extreme
moisture-there is room for Improvement.
1t is to be noted that the insect ravages,
usually accompanying these meteorological
conditions, have been slight, and the stands,
which were not very good to start on, have
not been impaired on that account. Over
all this district the crop is late, and, there
fore, exposed to the vicissitudes of the fall
season. In the northern portion of the belt,
however, Tennessee had a good start, and
has held her own pretty we'll, and North
