COTTON AND FERTILIZERS.
What the Abbcvillc Farmers Think
Of the Industrial Situation.

Oh tnc
The Farmers of Abbeville County
held a public meeting to discuss mat:
ters OF practical concern, and the out
come OF their deliberations is the fol-
| lowing preamble and resolutions:
Whereas, we the farmers of Able
vile County in convention assemb bled,
fully realizing the financial depression
which is paralizing all the industries
OF the country ard especially laying its
blighting touch upon agriculture,
the art of all arts, the science of all
/ science, the life OF all lifc,' do earnest
ly appeal for the cooperation of all
| farmers, in the adoption OF such
measures as may avert impending
bankruptcy and ruin. Instead of the
cheerful song OF contentment and
happiness which should bless the home
of the American farmer we find agricul-
ture, the basis of all national prosperi-
ty, languishing and dying, while the
universal wall of hardtimes and suffer
ing is heard all over the land.
That this anomalous condition OF
affairs should exist during seasons of
abundant harvest is evidently the re-
suit OF corrupt financial legislation in
the interests Of capitalists.
While we are powerless to remedy
this evil, save through legislation, yet
it becomes us, as husbandmen and
patriotic citizens, who cherish the
love of home and country to adopt
such measures in our agricultural pur-
suits as may enable us to meet the en-
ergcncy now confronting us. There
fore be it
Resolved lst. That the excessive
area heretofore devoted to the pro-
dustion Of cotton be greatly decreased,
and instead OF making it the principal
crop increase the acreage Of corn, so
as to make it supply the demands OF
the farmers.
Resolved 2nd. That farmers devote
more attention to the production of
sorghum, potatoes, peas, hay and other
food crops.
Resolved Bird. Instead Of having our
meat houses in ST. Louis and Chicago,
let us erect them upon our own pre-
misses, and fill them with home pro-
ductiOns.
Resolved 4th. That the excessive
use Of commercial fertilizers be discon-
tinued, and when purchased, it be
upon the cotton option basis.
Resolved 9TH. That the railroad
commissioners take Immediate steps
to have IL reduction on freight for all
fertilizers at the rate of forty cents
per hundred weight on all through
freight, and fifty cents per hundred
weight on local freight.
Resolved 9Th. That we encoul age
the erection Of cotton factories, and all
other enterprises in our midst, which
will employ labor, and utilize the raw
products Of the land.
Resolved 7th. We pledge ourselves
to carry out the foregoing resolutions,
and call upon the farmers Of South
Carolina to unite in doing likewise.
Resolved Sth. That the press of the
State be requested to give publicity to
these resolutions.

ROCK HILLS GOOD ROADS.-The
had weather and consequent com
plants of mud have directed attention
to the work that has been done by
Rock Hill in the line OF securing good
roads. About two years since it was
decided to build highways going from
the town in all directions. Private
subscriptions were secured from town
and from the country adjacent along
the line OF the proposed routes. The
county authorities agreed 20 furnish a
rock crusher and u steam engine and
To pay one hundred dollars. Rock
Hill gave one-fourth the cost and built
the roads up to the town limits.
The roads were located carefully by
a civil engineer. A road bed thirty
feet wide was raised above the sur
rounding soil by large ploughs. This
was packed hard by the use of heavy
rollers. "A track ten feet wide in the
centre was then macadamiZed. track

Two roads extending one three. the
other three and onc-half miles beyond
the city limits, have been completed.
Subscriptions were made for an amount
sufficient to complete rs much more, but
more pressing matters havs stopped
the work for short time. These
roads have made plain the great value
