Farmers to Meet,

The following letter from J. T. Roddey,
whose letters urging farmers to combine
to control cotton movement and prices
have attracted widespread attention, has
been received by the Hon. NJ. j.. Donald
son, of Greenville:
NEW YORK. Oct. q, 1894.
Mr.. M. l.. Donaldson-Dear Sir: send
by to-day's mail two copies of the State,
in which appear articles on the cotton
situation. Will you kindly see that they
are given space in your County papers
throughout your State in order that all
farmers may be reached. Urge upon the
farmers the necessity of coming together
and forming some plan by which we
may save our country from oppression.
T am q native South Carolinian with
Southern instincts and can not see our
country wrecked without raising my
protest and doing all can to prevent the
disaster. Will you kindly write advising
me what point you think would be most
convenient for q meeting OF. representa-
tive farmers from all the cotton States.
Would be glad for you to consider this
subject 30 that you may be prepared to
offer suggestions and resolutions at the
meeting whenever and wherever held,
provided you all think it practicable.
Trusting to hear from you at your
earliest convenience, am,
Yours very respectfully,
JOHN II. RODDEY,

It Was Too much for Him

ATHENS. GA, November 1.-The sui
eide of James Shewen, the Scotch stone
cutter here yesterday, had in 1t q vein OF
romance and interesting history.
A gentleman who knew Shewen says
that he owned considerable property in
Scotland and that his father was quite
wealthy.
The remains Of the dead man were
buried by the city to-day in potters field
and Chief Oliver will try to find out the
residence of Shewep's father and deter
mine what will finally be done with the
remains.
Back of Shewen's suicide was roman
tic and pathetic story of love and strong
drink. He had been In Athens for sew
eral months, and being fine workman
made good wages. He became desper-
ately in love with q young lady here and
paid her quite assiduous attention.
He was addicted to strong drink, how
ever, and the young lady finally told him
that he would have to give up his bottle
or quit coming to see her. He kept his
bottle and she refused to allow him 10
visit her any more. This made him very
respondent.
Yesterday he was at his work on tie
new Episcopal church building on Prince
avenue, and at half past O'Clock mar
riage occurred at the Episcopal chapel,
just in the rear of the building. Shewen
saw the bridal party as they went into
the church and 1t was more than he could
stand. He knew that no such happy
event could ever come in his life and
then and there he must have made up
his mind to take his life.
He left his work, put on his good
clothes, went down to the river, pulled
off his clothes, drew on pair Of old pants
and waded in.
he was seen by gentleman who was
fishing on the opposite bank Of the river
and who tried to keep him from going in
He kept steadily ahead, however, and as
he reached water up to his neck said :
"May the Lord have mercy on my soul !'
and sank from sight.
When he was fshed out Of the river he
was dead.

3 An exchange 'ssys: Every farmer in
every County in the cotton growing
ssates-of whateYer political party or
race-should meet in conventions in their
respective Counties to take some action
in regard to the cotton problem. The
present low price demands that some
united action should prevail throughout
the cotton growing States. We believe
the farmers can control the price of cotton
tifthey will take united action. Our plan
would be tns,t the farmers in their con-
yentlons resolve to plant not over half OF
former crops; that is, if the average
acreage per plow this year was twenty
acres to the plow, reduce it for the next
crop to ten acres to the plow. And also
resolve not to purchase not more than
bali, If that much, guano as they have
been previously buying, and resolve to
psy more attention to raising and saving
home made fertilizers.

Clemson to Cicse.

Clemson College is to be closed about
month sooner than scheduled for the
mid winter holidays. The Seth inst. Is
he date fixed for the closing and the
bovs will likely bavea holiday till th-
.old weather of the winter season has
passed. This is the result of the annual
tneeing OF the board nf trustaes just
ield otherwise the winter hnlidnvs
vnnld not have begun till Decem bar 20.
The early clnsi ~ uf the Institution ha-
zen decided an owing to the fact that
here Is no sufficient beating apparatus,
md ,he risk of the boys suffering from
old would be great. Since the main
building was burned the boys have been
making the best of the arrangements in
ma MISUNDERSTANDING kind "f camp
,fe. the accom- modatious left being insuf
ic,ent. The board finds it impo sible to
make the necessary arrangements for the
,ou Portable care Of the students before
tbs cold weather comes.
At its annual meeting, the board pre-
Dared its annual report to the General
Assembly. Governor Tillman, when
seen last night after his return to the
city, said that they would probably ask
for an appropriation Of some S25, 600 or
5000 for the ensuing year. This has
been made necessary by the fire, which
DESTROYED the main building and the
consequent necessity of erecting tempo
rary buildings. Another reason why the
appropriation will be asked for ia that the
board is calculating on considerable
reduction on the income from the iertili-
zer tax tag business next year, owing to
the low price of cotton this year.
Another important thing the board did
was to reduce tho board OF students from
81 to $8 month
Governor Tillman says that the crops
ut the institution were far better than
they were expected to be. He says that
the work of rebuilding the main building
is progressing as rapidly as possible.
In speaking of the annual contest OF
the Calhoun Literary Society, which took
place while he was there, Governor Till
man spoke in the highest terms Of the
