SANruc, Juno 1S.--The past two week:
has been very mfavorablo for work king owe,
cotton in a first CT ass manner, MS il has Doe "a
very ushowery, and last Wednesday night
this section was visited by one of the hardssi
rains Of the season. The land was ierribly
washed and corn and cotton injured in many
places. But the farmers are trying to put
on pleasant faces.
| The crops nre better worked, and far in
advances Of several years, but the continuous
wet we'thcr is putting them behind s,ma-
what, especially where there has been bn,
little blowing done for tuo weeks. In some
places the S.anhs aS cotton j not Iery GOOD
Early planted corn is not doing a. we'll q.
was expectel, being in many places, rather
small, poor stands aud very irregular.
There seom, to DO a mania for planting

being male to plant moro. Some are
speaking of planting all their oat land
IN peas, as that crop is nearly ready for the
sickel Fall oats are generally good. and
somo Spring oats are fine too, but gen.r.lly
are worry poor. Others than red oats are tall
enough, but will bavo very large per cent
of straw.

This Alliance is flourishing and blooming
Nike amorning glory in favorable sunshine,
pbut unlike that viue in one respect il does
not wind altogether to tho sun, but turns to
tho right, crops are very pushing and at
present the meetings are not very largely
attended. but ali arc deeply rooted, f.m,
and true to tho Alliance principles a, ever,
or rs anybody. The meetings are quito
interesting aS they are practicing the secret
workings and signs more than usual, and
this Lodge is becoming well verscd in the
same.
Mr.. s. X. Johns had a fine COW to 90, her

that large amount Of money was not needed
10 do the business Of the country, =, that
was all mostly done on paper anyway, and
there wGs enough money. What does the
Editor aud correspondents think Of that
would like TO hear fr informa, ion.
Your correspondent failed TO get off on ,hs
excursion TO Asheville OIL the 9th, as was
OK aud in the house oil day long, and when
thought OF the lost trip, / was sick two
ways one way, sick at heart. But | have
heard from 1T since, and as the negroes say,
am "pear bout worser" now.
The people are very carefully noticing the
candidates quarters in the TIMES, and think
there are many worthy men running" and
some have said ;!ia; they have friends they
equally like, running for the same office, and
they feel at loss to know who to support
There are several acquainted with almost
every man in those quarters. We think this
campal lgn will be interesting, and have a
pre.entmcnt it will be quito peaceable.
