Nearly every farmer we see
expresses his intention to use
less guano and to plant less cot

i'll the right direction, for we
are thoroughly convinced that
our farmers cannot raise cotton
at SC wi thout being thrown in

If corn could be bought at 25c |

Special correspondence of the VIRGINIAN.
RICHMOND, July 13-12:30 A. NJ.
valley Virginian:
Your correspondent has just come from
the Exchange Hotel where a bowling
crowd is making night hideous with it's
cries of Mckinney, O'Ferrall, Sullivan
John L.-Kilrain, Venable, Beirne, and
many expressions of fun, wit and humor
some too harsh for print. The crowd
was in good humor, but rough, and one
or two difficulties would have occurred
bHt for the presence of the police.
Senator John W. Daniel made the
only speech tonight. although many
were called for. The hotels are crowded
to overlooking, and at the Exchange,
where the candidates have their head
quarters, the crowd is immense. | Wis
tied all the candidates at their headuuar-
ters, and all were in good spirits, and
each expressed confidence in the result
of tomorrow's work. 1t is very appa-
rent that McKenny is far ahead of all
the others, and as 40 one candidate has
the control of his own support, when
changes are made, as is expected on the
third ballot, the scattering will be i'm
mense, and cause great delay in reaching
a conclusion. 1t is the general impress
sion among all parties that Mckenny is
the second choice of sufficient number
of delegates to secure his selection
O'Ferrall shows remarkable strength
of the candidates would speak tonight
The band played and the crowd yelled
itself into fury, but the candidates did
not venture out A Mr.. Gillian created
great amusement in his advocacy of Ven
able, which set the friends of the other
candidates wild. Judge James Marshall,
of Craig, has been chosen by the State
Committee as temporary chairman. He
is Tyler man. Augusta and Staunton
have full delegations. Julian Pratt ar
rived late this evening, having travelled
forty miles in a wagon to make connec-
tions. DR.. Carter Berkeley is also here,
an earnest O'Ferrall man.
There are several contesting delega-
lions, aud it is thought the entire day
of tomorrow Wednesday, will be taken
up with the organization.
