A Large Delegation of Farmers Meet in Convention. Editors Enterprise: I will give you a brief sketch of our recent trip to Ilawkinsville to attend the State Agricultural Association. The dele¬ gation was met at the depot by the good people in and around Ilawkins- villc and were all assigned to the very best places to eat and sleep free ot charge. Mr. W. H. Rampley and myself were assigned to a restau¬ rant for dinner and found everything o. k. After dinner Mr. Rampley and I separated. I soon met Mr. Joe Anderson, who “knows all the ropes,” and he showed me over the city. lie gave me a sack of fine cotton seed. I intend to spread myself- and make as large a yield as possible from 1 % bushels, and give my Alliance friends seed enough to get them started with the African cotton. Later in the af¬ ternoon I met Mr. Henry Anderson with a.nice double phaeton, begging for at least four delegates to go with him to his home, four miles in the country. As I liked the country and wanted to see more of it, I with one other accepted. Behind two fleet horses wo sped along and soon came to t he large commodious residence of Mr. Anderson, and were conducted to his well-furnished parlor, where We were warmly welcomed by his splendid lady and little son. Mrs. Anderson, after a short pleasant con¬ versation, excused herself so as to look after supper. The bell soon rang and we were invited to a table artistically decorated and well ladun- ed with the choicest eatables. Mr. Anderson has a fine plantation of 1,000 acres in one body. He makes 20 bales of cotton to the mule, culti¬ vating 40 to 50 acres inclusive to the mule. Mr. and Mrs. Anderson each have a heart as big as a camp-meet¬ ing. By the way I must say that I met one of the most clever Dutch- men in this broad land. Mr. II. An- derson and myself took dinner with him. His mime is It. Mannheim and he lives in Kowkinsvillc. The table was magnificently arranged, and ev¬ erything compared favorably with our banquet at the Kimball House. .Mrs. Mannheim lias a splendid garden and beautiful flower yard. 1 never enjoyed a trip better; it was alto¬ gether lovely. By the way, Brother Ramplej’ got lost. I can’t say as to how lie enjoy¬ ed the trip; he must speak for him¬ self. I know one thing, there was nothing to prevent any one from hav¬ ing a good time.
