THURSDAY, AUGUST 21, 1873. OUR ATHENS LETTER. AGRICUIiTUHAIi CONVENTION. MAJOR STANLEY’S ADDRESS OF WELCOME. Speeches of Governor Smith and Gen eral Colquitt. The commotion occasioned by the convention of the Grand Lodge of the Knights of .Jericho, the Supreme Court and Commencement had hardly subsid ed when the fanners from the north, south, east, and west, delegates to the Agricultural Convention, began to pour in on every inward-bound train. TUESDAY morning there were at least two hun dred and twenty-five delegates present. At 10 o’clock they assembled at the college chapel to hear the address of welcome by Major M. Stanley. After the address was concluded, Gen. Col quitt returned thanks, and delivered his opening address. To any one who has ever heard Gen. Colquitt speak it would be unnecessary to say anything of the address. But all your readers have not had this pleasure, and for the benefit of this class I will say something of. its STYLE AND SPIRIT. In the first place, he spoke of the ad vantages the Agricultural Society had been to the State in the past few years, giving as an instance the increased acreage in corn, and the attention given to the cultivation of the grasses. But he drew a sad picture of the present and future condition of the planters of tho South. In days of yore, a planter’s note was as good as any security in the market; now, he must secure his note by a lien on all of Lis property--his crop, stock, and real estate. He ap pealed to them to recover their former power and good name. I think the General shot wide of the real cause of the trouble. The planter is just as mindful of the force of his ob ligations as he was in days gone by.— The change has not been in him, but rather in the law-makers, who have framed the statutes under which we now live. The various Stay, Belief, and Homestead Laws, passed since the war, have placed a premium on all man ner of “artful dodging” to prevent a creditor from collecting an honest debt. As the direct result of this we see the depreciation in the value of obligations. When you treat a man as a rascal, you have tab n a great step in making him •me. Bet I started to speak of the doings of the Convention. There was one peculiarity about the deliberations of the last Convention— there was a very strong infusion of good sense in most of the speeches made.— Of course, there are always some who j mil be heard ou suck occasions, but the large majority of these present were men of enlarged views and experience, and to whatever they said there was due a weight and attention not merited by those whose experience had been Jess extensive. WEDNESDAY, his Excellency, Gov. Smith, spoke; and rarely has it been the good fortune of any audience to listen to a speech so replete with advice, so apropos, and so eloquently given. He spoke of tho in justice done to the agricultural clement of our country by placing it in subser vience to evtfry other interest; and of the power the farmer had, if he would only use it in the right way; and then he pointed out the best course for them to pursue to place themselves on an in dependent basis. But I cannot give you anything like a synopsis of tho speech. Those who heard it will never forget it, and circulated as it will be through the State, I look, for the good fruit to follow in a golden shower. But fay far the most important point touched on during the whole prooeed- inge of the Convention was the LABOR QUESTION. How can we control the negro;, how make his lalor profitable to the planter and remunerative to himself? The ed ucated negro, under the present status of the race, is either too profoundly re ligious—too religious in their own esti rnatiou to work—or a rascal in the full est sense of the word. No new law avails anything agaiust the evil with a statute standing ou our law-books to prevent violations of contracts. A contract with a negro is something to be regarded as binding only so long as it coincides with his opinions and ideas of the negro. Vagrants #re teu-fold more abundant now than ever, and our fields are ever grown with grass. But there is a remedy for this evil: Let tho statute agaiust vagrancy be rigidly en forced; let every man refuse to hire a negro who is under contract with an other, and we will see a change in this respect, rapid and complete.' WEDNESDAY NIGHT. the ladies gave an informal reception to the delegates in the lecture room of the University. As is usual on such an occasion there was a “plenty of the good things,” and an array of beauty rarely to be met with outside of Athens. THE STATE O RANGE of the Patrons of Husbandry was aLo in session during the week. * Not being ono of the “initiated,” I can give you no item concerning the order, except to say that it is rapidly growing, and bids fair to become a “power in the land” at no distant day. May that power be ex ercised to uphold the weak and protect those who are defenceless. OCONEE. THE GROWING COTTON. REPORT OF THE NEW OR LEANS COTTON EXCHANGE. Remarkably Favorable News From Every State--Noticeable Increase in Acreage. New Orleans, August 16. —Reports have been received by the Cotton Ex- 1 change to the 10th of August: MISSISSIPPI. Letters received from forty counties. Weather less favorabh than last year. Rain caused the abandonment of some lands. The plant is reported well form ed and boiled.

LOUISIANA. ’ • The condition of the crop in this sec tion is about the average, but picking will be fully two weeks later than last season, commencing about the 10th of September. Fifty letters were received from thirty parishes. A majority of reports complain of excessive rains, and represent the weather as having been less favorable than last year. The plant is generally represented as being well fruited, though we have some complaints of shedding. Worms are reported, but they have done little or no damage. The area under culture, it is estimated, will be about equal to last season. Most of our correspondents give Sep tember Ist as tho time that picking will probably commence, or say two weeks later than last year. The gener al condition of the crop is represented as being good. TEXAS. Fifty-one letters wore received from forty two counties. Most of our cor respondents complain of too much rain> though the season will compare .favor ably with last year. A great majority represent the plant well formed and boiled. But few counties only report damage from the army worm, though their appearance is generally spoken of throughout the State. The area uu dcr culture at this date shows a mark ed increase over last year. The con dition is represented as good thomjh backward, and picking will not begin until September first, say three weeks later than last year. . ARKANSAS. Forty-nice letters received from thir ty-three counties. The weather is re ported dry and rather more favorable than last year. The plant, though small, is well formed and boiled.

A ma jority of the reports are favorable in re gard to the weather, as compared with last year, and represent the plant well formed and boiled. The area under culture # shows a marked increase over last season. No worms are reported except in one county. The condition of tho crop ’is decidedly promising. I’icking will commence about the mid dlo of September. ALABAMA. We bare thirty- letters from thir ty counties. Most of our correspon dents represent the weather us having been propitious and rather more favora ble than last season. The plant is unan imously represented us fruiting remark ably well. The nppearance of the worm is reported in seventeen counties, but no damage has been done thus far, except in one county. The area under cultivation is about equal or possibly a better average than last year. Picking will he geucral in this Stato by the-be ginning of September, say abofit a woek later than last year. Indications are generally represented as good and pro mising. NORTH CAROLINA. Sixty-oue letters have been received from torty-five counties. The weather has been more propitious than last year —in fact, it is all that could be desired) and the plant is represented as well formed and boiled. There is no re port of worms. The area under culture is larger than last year, and the condi tion is unanimously reported as promis ing. Picking will not bo general be fore September 15, against September 1 last year. SOUTH CAROLINA. Twenty-two counties send in thirty two reports. The weather has been generally seasonable, as much so as that of last year, causing the plant to grow finely and boll well. The average shows some increase over last season. Neither the boll or army worm is re presented in any instance. Picking will probably be common in the early part of September. The general con dition is good. GEORGIA. Ninety-seven letters have been re ceived from seventy-eight counties. The weather has been generally favorable for the growth of the plant, and the improvement noticed in our last report has been continued, allowing planters to some extent to regain the delay ex perienced in the spring. The season is reported as comparing favorably with last year, with very few exceptions.— The plant, though small, is represented as fruiting remarkably well. The army worm has made its appearance in seven teen counties, but only in limited force and do danger has been done. The area under cultivation exceeds that of last year. The general conditions of the crop is reported as being flattering. Only seven of the letters show com plaint while all others at present say the orop is good, very good, and cpeel lent. I’icking will begin on September Ist, against August 25th last year. FLORIDA. From this State we have receive but three answers to out inquiries. They complain of perpetual rains, though re porting the plant well formed and boil ed. The condition cf the crop is equal to last year’s. Caterpillars have made their appearance throughout this State without, however, causing damage. In regard to the average views differ, from no increase compared with last season, to tour or five per cent. more. Picking will commence at the same time as last year, from the 15th to the 20th of Au gust GEORGIA NEWS.
