GEN. HAMPTON HOME.
Aged Warrior-Statesman Arrived
Sunday.
The State, 18th inst.

Gen Wade Hampton yesterday
returned to his native State, hay
ing been supplanted recently in
the Office of United States railroad
commissioner by the appointment
Of General Longstrect. General
Hampton seems to be enjoying
excellent health despite his in
creasing yea: 5.
In speaking of the recent cleo
tions he said he was glad to note
that the Democrats had gained
considerable ground all along the
line. He expressed, however,
the greatest regret at the failure
of the Maryland Democrats to re-
turn Senator German. He thinks
the defeat of German is Il great
loss not only to the State of Mary
land, but to the senate itself. He
says that a man who rose from
the position of page in the senate
to become one of the leading
members of the senate itself,
necessarily has too much in hin,
to be other than the kind of man
that this country needs in its leg
/ islativc body.

THE COTTON GROWERS
CONVENTION.
There Was a Big Meeting OF Far,
mers IN Columbia.

The Cotton Growers conven
ton, called by President Wilborn,
of the State Alliance, was held in
Columbia, pursuant to appoint
ment, convening on Wednesday
and continuing its deliberations
over until Thursday.
There were about 200 delegates
ia attendance, among the most
prominent being Senator Nj G
Butler. Nearly all the counties
of the state were represented.
Mr. John T Roddey delivered a
forcible speech, showing tnc ne
cessity of an organization for the
purpose of controlling the price Of
cotton, and proposing the organi-
zation of the farmers of the south
into a regular trust.
After great deal Of discussion,
Mr. Roddey's trust proposition
was voted down, and it was decid-
ed to perfect an organization of
the cotton growers of the south
with n view to contracting the
acreage to he planted, etc.
The following resolutions were
adopted:
81 That it is the sense of this
association that any and all efforts
made to advance and promote the
interests of the producers of cot
ton, by enhancing the price cs-
tablishing and maintaining sta
bility of markets and securing re
muneration to the producer, should
have and receive the cordial en-
dorsement and support of this
association.
80. That notwithstanding the
cry Of over-production as a iusti-
tication of low prices, the crop is
taken and consumed; yet in order
the more readily to accomplish
our purpose Of controlling prices,
we recommend the increase ot
other crops and the consequent re-
duction of the cotton crop; thereby
becoming less dependent on others
for supplies and more independent
in the sale of our cotton.
"3. That this meeting should
adopt decisive measures to secure
the cooperation of cotton growers
in all sections of the country in
adopting some system by which
prices can be maintained, so as to
give the producer fair rcmunera,
ton.
81. Looking, therefore, to the
furtherance of the above recon-
mendations we adopt as part of
our report the preamble and reso
lutions adopted on yesterday by
this convention, viz:
.' In view of the magnitude OF
the organization necessary tc
meet, with any promise of success.
the disastrous conditions that con
front the producers of cotton, in
volving the active cooperation oi
the individual producer from
| North Carolina to Texas: and il
view of the necessity for a full
representative meeting Mt every
stage of the organization.
" BE it resolved. 1. That The
president of this convention be
authorized 20 call an interstate
cotton growers convention to bc
held in the city of Atlanta the
first Tuesday in January or as
soon thereafter as practical, nt
which meeting each cotton grow
ing State be requested to send as
many representatives as 1T now
has members of the United States
