Fatal Accident at Aston.

COLUMBIA, November 14.-Passengers
on the train from 6partanburg arriving
here this afternoon bring the news of the
accidental killing of Dir. D. R. Elkins at
Alston. 1t seems that Mr.. Btkins, who
has been the proprietor Of the dinner
house at Aston since the war, got on q
freight train bound for Greenvilie for the
purpose of riding across the river to
Peaks, and that by acme accident he fell
between the cars and was mortally iDjur.
ed. Both legs were completely cut of,
aud in short whie'death ensued. Mr..
Ekins was well.kn farmer and
boarding house proprietor, and gained
some State reputation by his affiliation
with the Greenbsck movement some
years, ago. He leaves a large family and
very little property.
FURTHER PARTICULARS.
DR.. Elkins, of Alston, was killed at
Peaks Station to day by a freight train,
No. Is. Mr. Elkins wanted tocome over
to Peaks from Alstou, and be got in
Conductor Beams car. The conductor,
being on top of his train, did not know
that Mr.. Elkins was in the car, and hav-
ing no freight for Peaks the train did not
stop, and Mr.. Elkins, in trying to jump
from the train, missed his footing and
was thrown under the car, and the wheels
passed over bis thighs, severing his legs
from his body. He lived in this condition
an hour and a half.

The State and the Farmers.

COLUMBIA, November 16.-The tenth
annual report Of the Hon. A. P. Butler,
Commissioner of Agriculture, which
goes to the printer to day, contains some
interesting information.
The report of the. State chemist shows
that 345 analyses Of official samples of
fertilizers and 81 analyses of samples
sent in by farmers have been made dur
ing the past year. The analyses show
that smaller number of fertilizers fell
below the guarantee the present season
than last, and very few of. these de6cien-
cies included any of the we'll known
brands, which have, in nearly every case,
been above the guarantee of the manu-.
facturers. The analyses have been
printed in pamphlet form for distribu-
ton.
During the year ending August 81,
1889, 2l2,l01 tons of phosphate rock
were removed from the navigable streams
of the State, against 190,224 tons last
year, an increase of 2l,S27 lions. The
royalty actually paid into the State
treasury was $212,10l.96, against $780,
993.87 last year, an increase of $50, lob %.
The veterinary surgeon OF tbs depart
ment has done much to check the spread
of contagious diseases among live stock
and by advising the farmers in regard to
the treatment of their animals.
Since the last report of the department.
the United States fsh commission has
distributed through this department.
100000 shad that were hatcbed in the
commission car at Columbia, hnd has
distributed a number of carp and gold
fish in the State.
During the last year the department
has distributed 132,500 miscellaneous
publications containing valuable stats.
tical snd other information for the
encouragement of immigration and the
fostering of the agricultural interests of
the State.

THEASNUAL ADDRESS
OF Col. ). 3. Humbert OF LaurenA as Re-
firing President Of the State Agriculture
al and Mechanical Society.

Believing that the views of a gentle.
man Of such wide experience in agricul-
tural matters as Colonel Humbert can
but be of general interest, his address
before the Agricultural Society is here
given in full:
Members State Agricultaral and Mechan-
iical. Society:-GENTLEMEN: The cycle
of time has borne away another year, and
the ides of November remind us that our
twenty first anniversary is at hand. It is
but fit and proper that we review briefly
the past in order to ascertain what pro.
gress we have made in advancing the
great agricultural interests of our State,
what opportunities have been improved
and what privileges neglected. By an
honest retrospect of the past we will be
the better enabled to guard and protect
its interest in the future. On the other
hand, it is necessary that we know and
appreciate our true position that ne bear
to the various industries of our common,
wealth, that we may be enabled to dis.
charge our duty, and also enjoy the rights
and privileges as the legitimate fruit Of
our effort. The sum of all organization
is the intelligent promotion of the inter
est organized; therefore when / assert
that ne are striving for the advancement
of the great agricultural and mechanical
interest of our State, I can also say that
ne desire the advancement of every legit-
innate enterprise or interest which tend
to the prosperity of our commonwealth.
The present year has been favorable
one I'M many respects. We have had no
clash of races no strikes of laborers no
disturbances by political elections, but
peace and quietude has reigued within
our borders, and ne are as unit in this
great commonwealth of one destiny, one
liberty and one country. Under these
auspices the carly and latter rains have
not been withholden, giving fruitful sea.
SONS and abundant harvest, filling our
barns and graneries.to to oyerfowing, and
the smile of con ntentment rests upon the
continuance of the laborer. For such
bountiful blessings it is but proper that
I'VE acknowledge our obligation to our
I kind ID Heavenly Father for his mercies. /
Il csa: cheerfully say that South Caro-.

of promotion, and lis fast developing her
material resources. She has thrown of
the lethargy Of her old regime and assum.
ed 8 new role Of pluck and energy, and
is placing herself in the front rank of
promotion, winning the title of Empire
State of the South. She is building mora
enterprises in proportion to population
and area than any of her sister States,
and yet she has scarcely raised the
curtain which conceals her hidden resour-
ces of wealth and happiness, with the
