sULLy IN SUMTER.
The great cotton king, Daniel
J. Sully. of New York. was IN
Sumter last Friday, and he was
greeted with packed opera
house. The audience was made
up of men from Sumter, Claren-
don, kershaw, Darlington, and
Florence counties, all being
present to manifest their appre-
ciation for what this great spec.
ulator has done for the farmers
of the South. and what he wants
to do again, and will do again if
the people he is trying to help
will only be steadfast in their
loyalty to him and themselves.
We attended the meeting, not
SO much to hear the speech Of
Mr., Sully, but for the purpose
Of making the acquaintance Of a
man who was reared in the same
town where we spent our chill
hood and school days. Our fam
ilies were well acquainted with
each other. and the younger
members of our family and Mr..
Sully were good friends. This
man reared in q small country
village, has won name and
fame that will live long after he
is gone, and in the South the
name of Daniel J. Sully will be
connected with all great achieve
ments. We heard Mr.. Sully
speak. and while he is not an
orator, he is more, his talk is a
plain, business proposition, de-
void Of oratorical frills and laces.
He gave his audience a heart to
heart talk which impressed itself
upon every one within the sound
of his voice.
The Sumter Item of 18th gives
the following splendid account
Of the meeting:
From all sections Of this
county and from adjoining coun-
ties, the farmers, white and
! black alike, were assembled in
the Opera House this morning
and filed it to it's utmost capac-
ity. while Messrs. Daniel J. Sui
.,1y of New York, E. D. Smith
and F. Il. Hyatt poured into
their attentive ears words of life
and hope for the South's pros
perity, for it's freedom from the
shackles of speculations, Of the
means of taking advantage Of
the God given monopoly Of the
feecy staple that furnishes so
per cent Of the clothes of the
world, and depicted in glowing
terms the dawn of that eventful
day when the South shall again
be queen Of the world, and when
cotton shall rule as it's Industrial
king.
The day of awakening is at
hand. no more shall the farmer
of the South bow down in hum
BILE supphcation to the specula-
tors and manufacturers of the
North and Europe, but with the
principles of Southern Cotton
Growers Association animating
our people and being deep root
ed in their hearts, and with such
men as these leading them on in
wisdom's path and setting the
light before them, there is no
doubt but that the down-trodden
farmer Of the South will rise up
in one mighty and united action,
overthrow the power that has
enslaved them for more than
sixty years, and IN the full
strength of new-found manhood,
regulate the value of the cur
rency Of our country, the envy
of the entire world-the South's
cotton.
MR.. SULLY SPEAKS.
The meeting opened with the
rendition of a beautiful selection
by the Second Regiment band.
At it's conclusion Daniel J. Sully
one of the South's greatest ben
efactors, the man who advanced
cotton from 8 cents to II cents
in a few months, was pleasingly
introduced by President A. B.
