The heat was intefnse in South Dakota three days last week. The thermometer was 110 degress in the shade and much wheat has beer , ruined. The Colored State Farmers* Alii ance met in Columbia on the 3rd and decided to establish an organ to be called the "Alliance Light,'* with Eev. C. "VT. Foster as editor. Many people have been prostrated by the intense heat in New York and Chicago in the last few days. Quite a number have been rendered insane and sunstrokes have been numerous. Last year the Texas Legislature passed an act against alien owner ship of lands. It is now thoughi that an extra session of the Legisla ture will be called to repeal it, as it has already proved very disastriouste the business interest of the State.

There was an Alliance meeting at Parkersville, Edgefield county, last Tuesday, at which Congressman Geo. J D. Tillman made a speech by invitation. The following synopsis of the ' speech is taken from the News and Courier: 11 "He wished he had a larger audi) ence of those who had been deluded by tramp orators and aspiring demagogues. He was always ready to 1 express himself on any subject. He c had the confidence of the people for ^ thirty seven years, and had never 1U1 aa uuiwu tuuv uau wvvaa ^ given him, in consequence of which 5 he would be a knave were he to with hold the truth from the people. He said there was pecuniary distress in the land, and there were four or five - causes for it. 1 "First of which was the growing ' of too much cotton. To-day there * are 1,000,000, bales of surplus cotton 3 ?the market glutted. Is the gov* eminent responsible for this? He * saw a letter from Stokes this rnorn' ing in which Stokes said the sub * treasury bill is defunct.
