As originally organized, it was a Southern institution, originating in Texas and with a different purpose, viz: that of protecting its iutiiiyeiaiiUiu uusi,?, iiiuuupunea, eiu. ^ The opening of the Colored depart- ( menc of the Inter-State Exposition ' at Raleigh, has been postponed from ] October 1st to the 14th.

Williams was beating his ?gs|^B wife, and Major Henneman entered the premises to command the peace. > A scuffle ensued between him and i m Williams during which the Mayor J W was shot.

The Recorder of Charleston has rendered an important decision aifecting the right of a saloon keeper . to collect a debt for whisky sold by the drink across the counter. Apris- 1 oner was up before him for ordering ] drinks and refusing to pay for them. ? The Recorder informed the com- ? plaintant that-there was no remedy for him and dismissed the case. The ] law upon which he based his finding is an old one and reads as follows: ; "The books of account of tavern keepers, shop keepers or retailers of ' spiritous liquors, shall not be admit- 1 ted, allowed or received as evidence in any court having a right to try the ' same, of any debt contracted or J moneys due for spirituous liquors 1 sold in less quantity than a quart." L It behooves those of our citizens inside of the proposed lines of the . ^ new counties Calhoun and -ferry, and who are opposed to being cut off from Lexington county, to sign up petitions protesting against such schemes and be sure to place them ' in the hands of our Senator and Representatives, as those in favor of the proposed counties across our line are working and using every effort to make a good showing at the next Legislature to accomplish their objects. They are having meetings ^ - over in Aiken and Orangeburg in the interest of these new counties and we, therefore, give our citizens of Sandy Run, Bull Swamp, Black Creek, &c., timely notice so that they may not be surprised at any move made m this direction at next session of the Legislature, and to have their protest there, backed with representatives from the townships mentioned. ? It will be a permanent change if made, and may prove very unsatisfactory and expensive. So look out. An Effort for Honest Primaries. Some three weeks since, a statement of facts was made in the Dispatch as to the frauds which have been perpetrated in the primary in this county. Since then there has been not denial of these facts by any one; the plaininference to every one must be that the charges were true. Is this disgraceful condition of affairs to be allowed to go on without any effort on the part of the Executive Committee to prevent a recurrence of the same frauds'? For the < credit of the county it may, perhaps, be advisable not to wash dirty political linen in public and for this reason it may be best not to have an investigation. The Executive Committee is the body which is entrusted by the county, with its elections, it is the political grand jury of the county. If plain statements of facts as to frauds ; ire made to tlie grand jury and they \ cake no notice of them, and no steps j to prevent the recurrence of the J 3ame, then the county will know who j to blame when the same thing takes j place again. The majority of the Executive j Committee are members of the Alii- j ance and for this reason the Alliance i controls and is responsible for a fair j election in the county. All that we, j who are not members of the Alliance, ! .... ask is tiiat the primaries are so mar- i aged as to absolutely prevent fraud, and that all may feel certain of the fairness of the results. The rules that govern the primaries in this county are very loose, in fact there are no rules to prevent fraud at all. The election next year is apt to be a hotly contested one, as the question will be tested whether we are to cut loose from the old Democratic landmarks and try new lights, or remain with the National Democratic party. As there will be an election for Senator in the county, the whole vote is apt to be brought out, steps ought to hn fol'or* T>nw VipfnTA the eftnYftSS he- ! gins to prevent more than the actual vote being counted. The present Executive Committee is the one which will have to bear the blame if no stops are taken to ensure an honest election. The only notice which has been taken in the newspaper of the charges . made by myself has been a few line? by Dr. Shuler to the effect that, perhaps, my fingers would be burnt in &n investigation. This is not worth replying to, as every fair minded man knows that it is probable that the party who tries to prevent an investigation is more likely to have his fingers burned than the one who asks For it. At the time of the primary in 1888, I had no idea that any mem berof the Committee had any knowledge of the frauds that were committed; but from the Doctor s close affiliation in 1890 with the avowed agent of the frauds of 1888 some doubts have arisen in my mind. The condition of this county, as bo encouragements given to frauds in the primaries, is such as calls for the action of the whole county to present a repitition of this sort of thing. Hoping that what I have written m this subject will result in some steps being taken to ensure fair elections, I remain Yours respectfully, J. N. Fowles. Lewiedale, S. C., Sept. 28, 1891. P. S.

[f the former please allow me a few parting words. Thank you for your considerate words of "welcome." I certainly did not "labor to make it ippear that the Dispatch is fighting the Alliance;" it was too apparent that it was not fighting ybr the Alli ance.

Lexington County Alliance will meet on October the 2d, at 10 a. m. A full attendance is very essential, as business of great importance will be before the body. Send dues to Columbia, or leave with P. H. Haltiwanger. The Secretary will be at Lexington the night' previous, and would be glad to go over the secret work that night, if the Secretaries will meet him. G. Leaphart, President. Isaiah Haltiwaxger, Sec. Now since the Missouri State Alliance has "set down"' on U. S. Hall it is hoped that he will "haul" down his anti sub-treasury colors. "the alliance yard stick." But the Mississippi State Alliance did not measure up by their Ed Montgomery and McAllister anti subtreasury yard sticks. Alliancemen, through their chosen delegates, don't elect State Presidents for bosses, they elect them for servants. The sixteen States that have held their annual Alliance meetings have, every one of them, endorsed the Ocala demands, including the subtreasury plan, and all were unanimous with the exception of two, Arkansas cast one vote and Virginia cast two votes against the sub treasury, and, yet, "the Alliance has split all to pieces over the sub-treasury bill." IMPORTANT NOTICE TO SUB-LECTURERS. Brethren: Dr. Price writes that he Ml 1 1,1 i / il /"I I win De at tne meeting 01 tne county Alliance October 2d, and requests to the Sub-Lecturers to meet him there. This is very important. Without proper and correct understanding we need not expect to succeed. As every day brings us nearer the "general roll call" and every quarterly County meeting will be fraught with more and more importance than any of the past, it behooves every Sub to send a full representation of their best and most zealous delegates. Come early, brethren, and come prepared to do effectual, determined work, and, don't forget the day, Friday, October 2d. On Saturday afternoon, September 26th, our County Lecturer and Secretary each made an interesting and instructive address at Mr. Wm. C. Lorick's, to Tabor, Lower Fork and other Alliances. It is the intention of our Lecturer to visit and address every community where three or more Sub-Alliances can meet together It will be the dutv of everv member to turn out and hear him, as it will be an afternoon well spent. Twenty years ago Brother Smith bought a tract of land for a home for $1,500, paying $500 down and gave his note for $1,000, at 10 per cent, per annum interest; he also gave a mortgage for security. Owing to the fact that Smith had to open up and improve the land and put up buildings, hecouh^nlvj^: ^^h^rsWegj^^feKS||i^sp^ stor^nefound it impossible to pay more than $90; and every year thereafter, on account of some mishap or other cause, he found it all that he could do to pay on an average $90 per year. Well, in twenty years Brother Smith has paid $1,800; $800 more than the original amount of the note. Now, let's figure and see how he stands; An accurate calculation makes him still owe ?1,-572.73.5. Our laws, are claimed by some, to be based on equity and justice. The Bible says usury is a crime, and since the Alliance has turned on the light so that everybody can see, will an enlightened people send Brother Smith and his aged companion to the pool house and turn their children out into the public road as tramps by turning over their homes to shylock after they have, by honest toil and frugality, paid $800 more than the home wa9 originally worth? I wonder if some Christian hearted souls will not lose, a part at least, of their religion after they discover that the people are being educated along this line. Would not simple, practical reason and justice, outside of God's command, cry out that Smith's mortgage should be ? - i - - "1 v _ i :J I :i v. cancelled, ana ne oepaiu ubcji enough at least of that $800 to bury him decently? Is it any wonder that the sub-treasury is meeting with such hot resistance, for upon it hangs the destiny of the nation. "festus*' asked to explain. Mr. Editor: I have noticed a series of letters in your columns over the nom de plume of "Festus.' Having neither the time, taste or inclination to indulge in newspaper controversies and regarding the letters as brilliant productions oi a blantantly ignorant, on the objects, aims and demands of the Alliance, brain, I have refrained from taking any notice of them, notwithstanding some of the names of our most trusted and honored leaders have been used and their objects im peached. But for even that I have consoled myself with this good old maxim "slanderous tongues have lofty marks." Every little partisan county paper and cross road correspondent if same who is, through his want of information, honestly opposed to our order or used as a tool by those who would rejoice tc see its downfall, seem to think it his bounden duty to abuse and vilify our peerless Stokes, who stands as fax above the average politician as the noonday sun stands above the earth. Not only our free institutions, but our very liberties would seem to be in danger in a time when it is impos sible for one of our chosen leaders to advocate the interest of the masses of our people without being subject to the taunts, epithets and insults oi those who are at the helm or theii tools. But to the point. In your issue of September the 9th, "Festus" oversteps the bounds and forces some of us to take some notice oi his letter. The obligation which we all have taken, requires us all to take issue with him even if the love oi our order and its leaders did not. In that issue appears these words in his letter: "The rotten planks of the Ocala platform formed by Radical hands." I wonder if "Festus" knowe what the planks of the Ocala platform are? or is he like some of our would be Dictators, old political hacks and partisan newspapers, either abusing and ridiculing something he knows nothing about, has never seen? or willfully trying to* mislead? He has left no loop hole to crawl away from either horn of the dilemma, and I don't think that "artful dodging" will serve to unravel the self imposed web that encircles him. \Ye find embodied in one of those "rotten planks'' the principles that were fought for by Jefferson, "Old Hiekorv" fAndrew .TaeksmiV .TnVm P Calhoun and others of like renown. We are not ashamed of such company. Does "Festus" doubt then Democracy? In another one of those "rotten planks" we find a demand which the Democratic party fought strenuously for during the last session of Congress, but then, perhaps, "Festus" endorses the letter which consigned Grover Cleveland to a premature political grave. Embodied in another one of those "rotten planks" we find a demand for that reform which has been the great Dem ocratic rallying issue almost ever since its incipiency, not as proposed Tvr~ J?t:? ?1_ UJ 1TJL1. JJULLL13?CL ICUUtUUU Ui 6 per centum?but more Democratic, more in behalf of the Southern people and less to the taste of the Re publican party, and yet these "rotten planks" were formed by "Radical hands," if "Festus" is correct. Explain, "Festus!" Here we find three , out of the seven planks of the Ocala platform which contain direct principles of true Democracy. This is the "Pandora's box" of evils which your brilliant correspondent alludes to. Come to the front and show the Radical platform alluded to. They must exist in your imagination. The exponents of true Democracy and the Alliace demands are very near together, so he must constitute o r\n vl T' q 1 o av r^ovl'jorvfl V? n a jjux vj cnwixc, vjx, xxc tjuujixwB he will join the clamorand help write us out of the party so as to be rid of our power, but, my friend, "when the general roll is called we will be there" with votes for those who stand up like men for our demands. Now, Mr. Editor, I make this proposition, I don't like to take up your valuable space without your consent, but if you will indulge u=-, and "Feskis" wishes and will agree to descend from his elevated pinnacle of criticism and ridicule to the common level of an ordinary seeker after light, and confine himself to theaminities of debate, I will endeavor to dis cuss any or all of the demands. If they are all "rotten planks1', as he has stated, he should be able to sub stantiate the fact and it would certainly be a walk over for him; but, if they are solid enough for me to stand on, I shall defend them as long as I have foot hold. Respectfully, Alliasceman. September 19th, 1891. [We will cheerfully give the brother all our space, if necessary, to defend our demands.?Ed. Alliance Depart ment.] On the Eight Track.

Jim Young, Allen Young j Munroe Young, Henderson Young, John Adams, Perry Adams, Lige Athkinson, Tom Athkinson, John. . Athkinson, and Jack Williams were tried for the murder of Thornton Nance. The jury retired Thursday evening, and in three hours brought in a virdict of guilty, with recommendation to mercy as to all s ten. Judge Hudson overruled the motion for a new trial. Then the prisoners stood up to receive the death I L _ L ' jft f. I _ * J 1 bar J01^g, hinSji^ ' It was a remarkable scene. As a body they appeared far above the average negro laborer in intelligence. " Lige Athkinson and the Adams ^ brothers are handsome mulattoes. : Judge Hudson remarked that he ) had never before had such an experi5 ence. He commented on the habit | of colored people to select religious ^ meetings as the time for deeds of blood; then he pronounced sentence that they each and all be hanged on the 23rd day of October next. The prisoners showed no emotion, but as the Judge concluded, there was a wail from the audience. It [ came from the wife of Perry Adams. c She was joined by another, and finally they were taken out by consta. 11.^ ' Dies. 1 The wives, children and parents : were grouped together on the public i square as the ten condemned men passed back to jail in charge of depu1 ties. The whole quarter resounded : with their cries and weeping. CerJ tainly never in the streets of Laurens was there such a scene of pitiaL ble grief. The prisoners' attorneys will prob" ably appeal. 1 The circumstances of the murder " are these: At religious services on - Aug. 5 last, at Piedmont, the men started a quarrel with old Edmund : Nance and his wife and four sons, ' and swore they would kill him. Old Edmund and his family were terri1 fied, and for a long time dared not ' venture into the darkness. ' Finally most of the Athkinson crowd left, and Edmund, with a 1 lightwood torch, followed by his wife i and sons set out for home. Before } going many steps two crouching 3 figures to the side of the road passed 1 them at a rapid gait. Five hundred J yards from the church, where the * road is worn below the level there is a thick growth of bushes and grape ' vines to the left. John Nance was > there held up by two men. In ' another moment the road was full of ' armed negroes. Shot after shot was fired, and for two minutes the flash " of pistols lent brightness to old Ed1 munds torch; then the murderers 3 fled, leaving Thornton Nance dead [ and Sam Nance dangerously shot ^ through the lungs. John Nance escaped unhurt. The defense undertook to nrove that John Nance had a shot gun. i One of the attacking party received 1 a slight wound, presumably at the J hands of his friends. The defense * also attempted to prove an alibi as " to seven of the accused, and advanced " the theory that Nance was killed by Henry Suber, a negro who was certainly at the killing, but has avoided arrest. All of the prisoners were positively p identified by several witnesses as j. having assisted in the assassination, j The tenor of the proof was that Jim j Young fired the fatal shot. The State 3 maintained that Thornton Nance was killed in an effort to execute a r j carefully prepared plot to murder I TaVv Y~* In'o Krnfhnr COTTON MARKET.
