Tills *iK>T FAKJIKKS* INSTITUTE.
Several Matters of Great Interest to Agri- j
cnltnre ??t<l by Some Experienced |
Farmers.
(From the Charleston world.)
Okaxgebtjbg, July IS.?The great;
Farmers' Institute opened here to-day, i
and judging from the three sessions held i
so far?morning, afternoon and evening
?it promises to eclipse anything in the |
way of a farmers' gathering ever held ii;
the State. The exercises were opened
with the morning esssion by President
J. E. Wannamaker calling the meeting
to order, and requesting the Be v. L. F.
Beatty to invoke a blessing. President
Wannamaker then delivered an eloquent
address of welcome, and assured all that
every one interested in agriculture would
be benefited, by the speeches, etc., which
they would hear at the institute.
Prof. George F. Atkinson, of the
South (Xvolina University, was then introduced
to the meeting. The subjeci
of his address was "The Cotton Worm,
and other Enemies of the Cotton Plant."
The address was an excellent one, and
was delivered in a style which mad?everything
clear. The speaker was compelled
to use a great many technical
leims in giving the various enemies of
the cotton plant, but his explanation t
were so very plain that all could readily
"catch on" to the idea. Among othtr
things, he said the cotton worm is an
immigrant. Its original home is South
America and the West Indies. It was
known in the West Indies by its work
from the earliest time of cotton cultivation
there. The first known recorded
instance of its appearance in North
America was in 1793.. more than a century
after the introduction of cotton
culture. In that year it did great ciam_
age to cotton in South Carolina and
Georgia. It appeared again in 1800,
tnd from that time to the present it haf
become too familiar by the oft-recurring
years of great loss. The speaker followed
up the whole history of the moti
and the caterpillar, giving" in detail the
history of the hatching process carriec
on by them upon the cotton stalk. On?
method of destroying them was to plac<
lights in different parts of the field, s<
as to attract the moths and destroy them
Besides the caterpillar, there were othe:
worms mentioned as being injurious t<
the cotton plant, and ether enemies evei
, besides insects, for all of which th<
speaker gave some means of retaliating
and sometimes of effectually destroyinj
Sate-oDemy.
The question box occupied tb
attention of the convention until !
o'clock, when a recess was taken until
o'clock.
This session was occupied by the ver
timely and important address 01 jur. o
W. Summers, upon "how to raise cot
ton. Dr. Summers is a resident c
Oraogeburg county, and has the happ
faculty of the always appearing before
pleased audience. His address was nc
a very lengthy one, but what was sal
was to the point.
*He showed how much and whs
ingredients were needed to be in exac
proportion to the different advantage.1
or the ingredients possessed by any ce:
tain piece of land, and gave the differer
manner of manuring to secure thes
proportions. All manure of every d<
fccripticn should be put out early; n<
later than the first of April, so that the
will be in a soluble condition, ready t
be taken up by the young plant as boo
as the seed germinates. In seed manu
ing the best bearing and hardiest varis
ties should be selected, and none br
sound seed should be planted.
Rubbing the seed gives a quick ac
unanimous stand. The rime of planting
of course, depends somewhat on tl
season; oa light lauds, from the first <
April-to the first of ilay. Clay or dai
lands may be planted later. The speih<
closed ids address with some of his o
ideas of raising cotton, and the cost <
the same.
In the evening 3tlr. J. Sioney Porche
of Beaufort, addressed the meeting upc
?6'spg.flk>ents with commercial fertilisers
He saidt2aM?J the reporti^-ifre' con
missioper of was paid o
96,836 tons oi fertilizers in 188'
which, at the low estimate of $20 p<
ton, without freight, would repr<
sent about ?2,000,000 paid out by'tl
farmers for fertilizers. He said that tl
farmers should interchange opinions o
this subject, because they relied too muc
upon the commercial fertilizer. Ti
farmer could obtain the different ingr
dients of guano, and mix them as is dor
at the guano yards, and it would sai
immensely; besides, they could adoj
whatever proportion of ingredents be
suited ther lands. He impressed tl
idea that farmers should keep expei
menting on a small scale on guano
Besides being profitable, it could whi
away some aajs uia.s wexe uuuhu ant
without anything being done. After tl
question box, tne meeting adjourn*
until to-morrow, when three more se
sions will be held.
Tlie Second Day.
Obaxgebckq, July 19.?This mor:
jug's session was opened with prayer I
the Bev. A. J. S. Thomas, after whi<
Prof. Milton "Whitney, of South Carolii
University, was introduced. The su'
ject of the address of Professor Whitn<
was "Fertilizing qualities of leguminoi
plants."
The question box, which is one of ti
most interesting features on the pr
gramme, was then opened by Mr. Jam
M. Moss, the manager, and it was foui
to contain a number of important que
tions. The questions were nearly all r
ferred to Professor Atkinson and* Whi
ney, who answered at a short notice ax
generally satisfactorily.
The afternoon session was devoted i
the hearing of the address of Mr. E. 1
Walter cf Orangeburg, on "How 1
"Reabzing the great iranorfftT>/?a nf
com crop of our State, and the neeess
ty for the introduction of a more rapi
and economical mode of cultivatioi
your essayist has consented to submii
for your consideration, a method adopi
ed by himself three years ago and sue
ceesfully practiced since; and in orde
to present it as clearly as possible, wti
endeavor to lay before you a statemen
from a carefully kept diary of ever;
hour's labor expended upon the crop o'
this vear.
"The land selected for planting ii
corn, was 54 acres, 34 of which was ii
corn last year, and 20 in oats, followec
by peas. It was all carefully broken ui
flush with two horse plows in Decembei
and January, the corn-stalks, choppec
into two or three parts, being completely
turned, together with a heavy growth
of peavines, grass, etc. In this condition
it remained until March 18, when it
was laid off with a Corbin harrow partially
drawn back and pulled by two
^ t^ymals, thoroughly pulverizing the soil
an<T"kiGing all grass seeds and weeds
then germinating. The water furrows
were then opened with a seven-inch
l jlx. . ?
uuutiox piow, m me rurrow distributors
were run, depositing 300 pounds of fertilisers
per acre, and were followed by
an iron foot plow stock with no mould
attached, intended simply to mingle the
fertilizer with the soil The com was
dropped by hand at an average distance
of about thirty inches and covered by a
board twenty-seven inches in length, the
lower corners of which were sawed off
diagonlly nine inches from the ends.
The seed used was known as the X. C.
prolific com, which grows as small
stock, produces two ears low down, and I
susceptible of very close planting on I
bed.
"The fertilizer consisted cf a mixture ;
of 40 per cent, each of Edisto dissolved j
bone and cotton seed meal and 20 per :
cent, kaidit, costing S16.87 per ton.
"The speaker then quoted some ex-1
tracts from a diaiy kept of the working j
Vv
on the farm, giving in detail the manner
of working the and also the different
kind of s-^asons which was experienced.
The principal working machine
nsed was the harrow, which cost only a
small amount of time and labor. After
ail the work was gone through with, it
was found that the corn never fired, tie
stalk was succulent and vigorous, and
the leave?, from the lowest to the upperj
most, green and healthy. He then
j read a statement of the whole cost of tLe
;*rop for succoring and working it, ac 1 i
dividing the total by the number of
ajres, showed that the cost was S3.24
per acre.
"The amount of corn which will be
made per acre has been variously estimated
at from 30 to 40 bushels. The
cost of breaking the ground in December
and first fertilizers was not estimate d
in the above figures, but fodder and
peas made beforehand will make up for
thi*.
"There are those who may object to
the omission of rental of lands tax, on
same, interest on values, etc , but to
tht m the writer would respectfully state
tLat this article was prepared, not to exhibit
the profit in the cultivation of an
acre of South Carolina uplands requiring
an array of figures each on the debit
and credit side, but to show to his
brother farmers of our county and State
the benefit to be derived from the use
of labor saving machinery by means of
which his corn cannot only be effectually
and economically cultivated, but can
be done with such rapidity that it
ceases to interfere with his cotton, which
at this particular season is especially
liable to loss from grass and procrastination,
and the work of which inevitably
results in additional labor and expense.
The speaker concluded by giving
Orangeburg county the 4 'send off" which
she deserves for the great advantages
! held out to farmers by her rich and
> fertile lands, and remarked that hei
fields blossom like a well-kept garden,
1 and peace and plenty abound within hei
J borders."
' After this speech ihe question box wa:
5 again opened and the subject of chcier*
5 was brought up. An essay was ther
> read from Col. K. M. Sims, of Charles
ton, on fruit culture.
r Resolutions of thanks were then offer
J ed to Mr. J. E. Wannamaker for his ex
1 celient management of the institute, an<
? also to the Harmonic Orchestra for th<
? splendid music rendered gratuitously b;

The Institute then adjourned.

It is less than an hour from the city by

round-trip ticket.
You land at an iron pier that juts out
into the sea at a section of "The Island"
known as West Brighton. Its patrons are
chiefly of the laboring classes and German
is the predominating Tongue. Two or three
thousand people, men, women and children,
decked in their best, are sitting

vilion, drinking beer and eating schweizer
sandwiches. A little army of white bibbed
waiters are flitting about with elevated
trays ministering to their pleasure. At
one end an orchestrion is grinding out last
year's tunes; and when the big music machine
stops, a brass band takes up the
broken thread and sixty or seventy pairs
of healthy German lungs pump wind with
great energy into the mouths of their brass
instruments, the blare and din of it all
may be imagined?by people who have
been inflictcd with it.

BIG HAM'S SPEECH.
What His Home Papers Have to Say
About It.
| (From the Marion Index )
Justice to the people of -Marion demands
that notice be taken of the speech
made bj Mr. L. S. Eigham in the convention
on the 2nd instant, and that the
repudiation of such sentiments by the
good people of Marion be placed upon
record. We therefore publish the correct
and almost exact report of that speech
which appeared in the News and Courier
on Friday, 6th instant.
"In the course of the proceedings,'
Mr. L. S. Bighain, a candidate for the
Senate, made a speech, in which he
that, t.hfl indiciarv of South Caro
tUOigl-U . t ?
lina was corrupt; that the records in the
various clerks' offices of the State would
show that our Circuit Judges took sides
in cases, and that our Supreme Court
Judges decided cases against the constitution."
Mr. Bigham added that Governor
Perry retired from the practice of law
because this of corruption of the judiciary,
expressip giving that as his reason.
"He also said that the Governor of
South Carolina received more monejthan
nis salary, and to prove it said that
during the session of the Legislature
in the winter of 1886 an appropriation
of ?2,700 was made to improve
the Governor's mansion; that a former
Legislature had appropriated $700 to
furnish the mansion, and that a comi
mittee which was appointed to investigate
I and report as to how the money had
: been spent made their report on the floor
of the House during the session of 1886;
' that they found in the Governor's maa>
sion nothing but an old table worth
twenty-five cents, and that it was thepre?
sumption of the committee that the
Governor, who at that time or just beroxl
had retired, had carried off with him
* nothing but what belonged to him.
"He explicity informed the convention
j that he was not on the investigating com
j mitte, that this was their whole report ;
f but that had he been on the committee
i he would have said more.
s "Mr. Bigham was asked who was the
e Governor he alluded to, and after a good
f deal of hesitation he said it was Gov
e ernor Thompson, and that he did no!
e know wnetner me marge v?ao iau?
e not, bnt that the committee reported ai
a he had detailed it."
' When Mr. Big ham replied as abov<
!: the same gentleman in a clear and de
? termined voice responded that neithe
" he nor any other man in that house be
g lieved that any Governor since '76 woul<
3 stoop to steal the people's money. T<
this "Mr. Bigham made no reply.
a Such was the speech so far as it relate*
)t to matters outside of the county.
>f The strength of his charge4? may b
is well estimated from the allusion to Go?
r- ernor Perry's retirement from the prac
ie tice of law. Unless we are very muci
)f mistaken the Governor retired when ih
g Radical judges, admitted on all sides t
k have been corrupt, occupied the bene
'd of the State.
w But however he may have reached hi
conclusions such sentiments are unqual:
;d fiedly repudiated by the people c
Marion, and the weight of responaibilit
must rest upon Mr. Bigham's own heac
' " * i i no .
^ In writing this we do not wian to anec
[jj Mr. Bigham's run in the coming electioi
re but we do mean to set the people c
Marion county straight before the pec
e? pie of the State.

ce (From tlie Marion star.)
ie To seek notoriety by making senss

Pj dangerous undertak:ug unless the di

thi? method is a short cut to the desire

SB Notes of the Campaign,
l't From two brown stone building in tb
nt heart of this city and almost within cal5n
to distance of each other the captains of tt
!8S two great political armies will give out tt
ju orders which are to shape the course of &
[e campaign. The Republican commaniei
l- in.ohipf vested with autocratic and aloof
se absolute powers, is Senator Matt Qua] c
Pennsylvania. Bright, shrewd, tnc^y
jLj..-,.,j mini n.'i'tSTgffi.ffi
? party, perhaps, better qualified than hefc
the work in hand. Conspicuous amoa
*" his trusted lieutenants, will be John C
New of Indiana (the "soap" dispenser i
1 s the Hancock campaign), Sam Fessende
of Connecticut, one of the sharpest /i
yankee politicians; Clarkson of Iowa ant
Fassett of New, a parasite of Boss Piatt

But the coming Napoleon of the campaign.
perhaps, is Congressman Willam L.
Scott, of Pennsylvania. Brave as a lion,
yet ever cautious, a Dmiiant strategist and
'l a dashing leader, his master hand will
1 surely leave its impress on the campaign.
' Thus officered, the battle will be decided
5 as nearly upon the merits of the respective
forces as it is possible to be, in the nature
1 of such contests. There will probably be
! no "Long" Joneses, no Burchards and no
1 Vanderbilt Delmonico dinners. But the
Democracy is powerful enough to win
upon its worth, and here at headquarters
tne outlook is for a sweeping triumph.
Jt is said that Boss Piatt has carried his
point with the National Committee, and
that the Morton "bar'i" will be considerably
higher when it is rolled over to the
Jersey border. New York shouters come
high, but the Republicans must have 'em.

THURSDAY'S FLOOD.
Thirty Lives Lost and 8200,000 Worth of
Pri 4>erty Destroyed.
Wheeling,. W. Va., July 20.?Last
night's cloud-burst and the preceding storm
of less than an hour caused a loss of twenty-five
or more lives and the destruction
of many thousand dollars' worth of prop
ertj'ic this neighborhood alone. Hourly
reports from distant points in Ohio and
West Virginia indicate that the damage
elsewhere is immense, while there is little
: room for doubt that many persons perI
isherl
Tlie cloud-burst here occurred at 6
o'clock, and the rain was over before 7.
In that hour terrific damage was done, but
long after the tremendous volume of water
that fell was swelling streams, and flooding
streets and houses. At 9.30 last night
the Baltimore and Ohio's wooden bridge
across Main street was swept away, with
twenty-five or thirty persons on it. Of
these, tec are known to have been saved.
Several of the rescued were on a tow-boat,
which could not laud at the wharf because
of the current.
The loss in the city will reach $50,000,
and the damage to crops is inestimable.
The ruin wrought out of town is awful.
fatalities are reported every hour. A
man named Keltz was washed away in
Bogg's Run and he and his horses drowned.
Four lives were lost at Elm Grove, five
miles east.
This morning's reports from Tridelphia,
about eight miles east on the Pittsburg and
Wheeling division of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, show that great damage to
property was caused, and at least eight
lives were lost in last night's flood. It is
estimated that about twenty-five lives were
lost in that vicinity as the result of the
floods.
It is impossible to give the exact number
of lives lost in the bridge disaster. It is
known that thirty or forty were on the
structure when it went down. Only eighi
have been seen since. They were picked
up by a tow-boat in the river,
I Pittsburg, July 20.?Further details
"from Wheeling show more distressing
effects of the cloud burst last night, ant!
; more dead bodies are being recovered.
I The sights are often of the most ghastlj
character.
( It is estimated that the number of live;
[ lost will reach thirty, and the destructior
. to property will run over $200,000. Thi
Baltimore "and Ohio, and the Pittsburg
. Cincinnati and St. Louis roads betweei
' here and Wheeling are still blocked by th
result of the flood, but will be clear by to
^ morrow night.

Uncle Sam Will Bun the Wires.
"Washington, July 18.?The bill relative
to Federal control of the telegraph, reported
favorablyby Senator Cullom, from
tbe iiiter-Stare commerce committee today,
is tbe original Spooner bill, with some
modifications. Tbe modifications consist
in tbe main of amendments to tbe interState
commerce law, which was passed by
the Senate last week. The bill excepts
newspapers from its restive provisions, and
permits telegraph companies to meLe special j
rates with them, irresDective of "inner nr I
short haul," In other respects this places
telegraph companies, as to inter State business,
under the same general control as
railroads are now, under the commerce
law. The general principles of the interState
commerce Act, and in many cases,
the language of that Act, are made applicable
to telegraph companies. The report
is unanimous.
CYMNASTICS A MILE ABOVE EARTH. !
Carlotta's Exhibition on the Horizontal Bar j
of Her Eailoon.
Fully three thousand people assembled
at Washington Park, Brooklyn, yesterday,
to witness Mine. Carlotta give an exhibition
of her skill and daring as an aeronaut.
She has made more ascensions than any
other woman in the world, and the feats
she performs while in midair are seldom
attempted, even by the most experienced
and skillful ascensionists. It is safe to say
that none of the audience present yesterday
to see her start on her perilous journey,
with nothing to cling to or sit on ex iept
a small horizontal bar, would have
jeen willing to have accompanied her even
with a strong basket attached to the balI
-.in 4]?in with of
I (JUL] j 61X11 LL1IO little n vuaau, ?? ??w ? ?
iron, appeared to be less concerned for her
safety than any one else present. She
tripped out of her dressing-room attired in
black tights trimmed with orange, bowed
gracefully to the audience, exchanged a
few hurried words with her manager and
was ready to start.
The balloon was inflated and tugging
impatiently at its anchorage. Carlotta remarked:
"The wind is favorable for a
pleasant sail over to Jersey." "When-the
order was given "let go," the balloon started
upward with a mighty jump, and almost
before Carlotta's "good by" had died away
was hundreds of feet in the air. After attaining
an altitude of about a mile it ap
parently found a stronger current of air
than it met with nearer the earth, and began
rapidly sailing away to the northwest.
Carlotta was in the meantime giving a really
gymnastic exhibition on the horizontal bar.
She hunjffrom the bar by her feet and per
formed a variety of feats that were almost
blood curdling when the spectators realized
her immense distance from the earth. She
rapidly sailed over New York, across the
Hudson and over the Palisades, maintain:
ing her great altitude until lost to view in
. the haze of an approaching shower.?

no small proportions. The new organiza

William T. Higgins, the local bots of tb

"They are the same old kickers that w

She Took Him for Better or Worse.
A New York gentleman' has recently
had an odd experience with an old and
favorite cook. About three weeks ago
she announced that she was married. It
was rather a startling announcement, as
she had not been considered a marriageable
quantity. She declared her intention
o* presently leaving service and going
West with her husband. It so happened
, that her employer asked some questions
. about him and received these replies:
"What is your husband's business?"
he asked the cook.
"I dunno. I nebber axed him."
"How much does he earn?"
"I dunno dat eider. Reckon I kin take
care ob myself ii he doan't earn nulla.
5 I always has."
1 "Yes. but don't you think you ought
to know what his business is and what
his income is?"
