THE COTTON CONVENTION
The State Alliance of South Caro
lina did something better at its recent
meeting than sitidly listening to a
> debate between Tillman and TerrelL
The farmers of the fiery little
state are wise enough to know that
political discussions do not raise
cotton crops, do not beep corn fields
clean of grass, and do not put bread
in the mouths of their loved ones at
home.
The farmers in the land of Pal
metto trees know that when farmers
get together the best tiding to discuss
is farming. And they did it at that
Tillman-Terrell convention.
They have decided to hold a con
vention to which all Southern Allian
ces are invited to Bend representa
tives. The purpose Of this conven
tion is'to discuss the matter of
planting cotton next year, how much
to plant or how little,, etc.
The convention is to be held in
Atlanta in September next and it by
all means ought to be largely atten
ded by farmers from every section
and region of the South. „
Following is the resolution adopted
by the South Carolina convention
calling the Alliances of the Southern
States to meet in Atlanta in a cotton
convention :
“Resolved, First that we, the State
Alliance of South Carolina, assem
bled in annual session, do recoin
mend and urge the holding of a cot
ton convention in the city of Atlanta,
Ga.,commencing on the first Wednes
day in September next
“Second. That the subjects to be
considered at this meeting are here*,
by partially suggested : (a), the cot
ton acreage, can it be regulated and
controlled? (b), the gathering and
handling of the crop on the farm;
can it be improved? (c), the ship
ment, grading and selling'of our sta
ple; can it be so regulated as to do
equal 'justice both to producer and
consumer ?’
“Third, That this State Alliance
hereby extends a cordial invitation
to each State Alliance in the Cotton
States to be represented at this con
vention, for unless the entire cotton
interest is represented this proposed
convention and its objects will be in
vain.
“Fourth, That representation is
cordially invited from all other ag
ricultural associations ad well as th
Farmers’ Alliance at the open meet
logs of the convention.
“Fifth. That the colored Alliance
ot the Cotton States are invited to
send'representatives from each of its
State organizations. The secretary
is instructed to extend all cotton
growers an invitation to participate
in said convention.”
The newspapers of the South ought
to interest themselves in this matter

The introductory sermon was preach

a very profonud impression on the large
audience.
AFTERNOON SESSION
The conference met at 3 o’clock when
a permanent organization was affected
by the election of Mr. J. F. Dillard .as
permanent secretary and Mr. Johnson
as assistant. Reports from the pastors
of the various charges were now re

well to say that iu the
main these reports indicated the church
is a prosperous condition. The atten
dance upon public worship (with
few acceptions) was reported good, and
the social meetings of
the church were represented
as being well attended. In regard to
th| duty of family prayer and the ob
servance of the Lord’s Supper, it was
urged that these impoitant parts of a
religious life be urged upon our mem
bers, as the percentage of those who
were faithful in tbe performance of
those obligations was not as large as it
should be.
On Thursday night Rev. A.J. Hughes
gave a very able and thoughtful ser
mon, which was much enjoyed by the
audience.
FRIDAY’S SESSION.
The usual reports from the
were received until the hour of
whea Rev. W. A. Candler, of
College,gave one of his eloquent and
fective Borinons. His theme was the
Heroism of tbe religion of Jeans.”
He showed that our Divine Lord was a
revolutionist and attacked and over
turned many of the traditions and
theories of the Pharisees, Scribes and
Doctors. - Dr. Candler attacked many
of tbe shams and fallacies of the times
and showed that the heroic religion
was now .the need of the times, that the
church might oppose tbe money kings
and other false deities that were en
throning themselves in the public heart
over the land. The sermon created the
most profound impression.

An Old Gold Mink.—It is not gener
al known but it is true that once their
was a goldmine right here in the heart
of Athens. The place where the yellow
8tufl* of power was sought is the hill on
Broad street overlooking the Tanyard
branch. The Mr. John GUleland, father
monedand came to tbe side of the
wounded negro. Hafouud, the boy so
badly hurt that he conld not turn him
over without running the risk of killing
him.
The examination of the doctor proved
very little beyond the fact that the
negro was seriously injured.
His arm was broken, and his collar
bone was fractured,but the most-serious
injury Is thought to be in his spine.
He had evidently been hit by a ruck
thrown from some one behind.
The three negroes who were standing
by were apprehended and sent to jail.
They were Ed Armstrong, Bob Smith
and Bob Craddock.
They were an dumb as oysters and
would talk but little about tbe affair.
One of them said he knew the boy who
threw the rock bat wouldn’t tell bis
name.
It is believed that there were tw*
other negroes -connected with the as
sault, and that one of them threw tbe
rock.
Policemen Kelley and Goodrum, who
made the arrests, have their eyes upon
one of these negroes whom they tbink
threw the rock.
Thu three negroes now in custody are
undoubtedly accessories to the crime,
and Dr. Whaley considers the condi
tion of the negro boy as very serious,
and that it may terminate fatally.
The attack seems to have been a very
brutal one, and done in a spirit of mal
ice and vengeance. Collins is a mere
boy, and at the time be received the
blow that felled him to the earth, he
was running for dear life.

Atlanta, Ga., July 28!—[Special.]—
The Senate today unanimously passed a
rAonlnfinn for a Inint i'
verse sentiments in regard to it. It has
excited much interest, and there is no
doubt but that when the order is called
to-morrow the galleries will be filled
with interested spectators.
The bill introduced some time ago to
make a man dojng business for insol-
v jut corporations personally responsible
tor any debts made while he is ^nauag-,
iog the business was read a third
time,
1 it was strongly opposed and on vote
.was lost.
The governor sent in a message to
tue house iu which he recommended
that such legislative action be taken in
regard to State School commissioner
Bradwell’s report as the house saw fit,
aud acccompanying the message was
the report.
The bill to present the sale of
ray intoxicants within five miles of
any oounty^line where the pohibition
laws were in efiVot wos lost. The bill
was introduced some time ago by Mr.
Terry of Worth and when brought £up
thjs morning excited some little dis
cussion. It was opposed by Wooten, of
Dougherty; Swain ot Gordon, Chappell
o ’ Laurens, and others. In opposition
it was stated that the laoal option laws
gave counties the right to legislate for
v temselves in this matter. Mr. Perry
spoke for the hill, but on vote it was
defeated by 76 to 43.
Today’s session a very quiet one and
nothing of particnlar importance was
none. This week will probably see
s >me lively discussions, however, for
1 isides the dispensary bill tomorrow,
t *e Insurance Dill comes up this week,
and on Thursday tbe special order is a
bill to prevent barter or sale of liquors
in the state in quantities less than
qiart.
