In another column will be found a call for a meeting of the Clarendon county Farmers' Association, to be held in Manning the first Monday in March. The call is in response to the "Shell Manifesto," to elect dele gates to attend a farmers' meeting in Columbia next month. Two years ago the farmers took a decided stand in election matters, but too late to have any material effect on the result. This year with a complete organization the farmers have it in their power, not only to hold the bal ance of power, but in fact to control the entire election. They do not pro pose working out of the Democratic ranks for they themselves are the Democratic party, numbering about =line-tenths of the entire party in this State. Ben Tillman has done great good; has put the farmers to thinking; has indirectly been the cause of arousing the people from their lethargic state into a powerful, influential, and bene ficial organization, the Farmers' Alli ance; and he deserves great credit for the good he has accomplished by his revolutionary principles and work: but whether his noble work should be rewarded with the high office of Gov ernor of State is to be determined by the farmers of this State. We d not believe that he would lower the dignity of the office, nor are we pre pared to say that he is the best man for the position. We published two weeks ago the address of Mr. Shell; last week we published extracts from a number o our State exchanges, commenting or this address. We have talked 'wiU several prominent gentlemen in tbis county, all members of the Farmers Alliance, and while they disapprove ol a good many things in the Shell ad dress, Yet they say good will probabl come of the State meeting, and it i proposed to send delegates to th meeng. As will be noticed i Pres ident DesChamps's call, "all farmer of Clarendon county" are invited t< attend this meeting. -Let every farmer in the county who can possibly attend, come to th< meeting, and before that time let ther give the matter careful attention an due consideration. Let every ste] aken be such that those opposed t ~respect the motves and results. An in eleeting delegates to the State cor zvention, the chief aim of the count meeting, let the very best men:i Clarendon county be selected, men< em uet judgment and conservati1 'ews. ILLICIT WHISKEY SELLING. Our editorial last week on "O0 e Ipotent Laws" seems not to ha been written in vain. Laws are value only so far as they are enforet an a they are sustained by the se: ~tment of the people. For years il -sentiment of this county has sustain< lliithctale ofhiskey. It was i -open secret, known alike to coun agfiers, petit juries, grand Juries, tri jueties, and plain citizens, that wh: key was sold. Occasionally, we oug to have said semi-occasionally, sor -poor fellow having incurred the ills' of a former boon companion, wou -'be indicted for the offense, but the wereare cases, and did not expri *the sentiment of the county. But bope achange is athand. Summerton, noted for its his moral influence and principles, has a mass meeting of its citizens asse bled, said that illicit whiskey-sefl Pshall cease, and we believe the citizi of Summertoni are honest in this -pression of opinion. They have, -stated in a communication elsewhe reported two firms for the illicit a ig of whiskey, and it will now -pend on the jury, as to what disp -tion shall beimadeof the cases. A the citizens of Summerton are not done with this matter, or should: be done with it. In lesthan ahund miles from Summerton, if rumor - correct, there are a half dozen ot whkite men, not to say anything of gros who are engaged in illeg selling whiskey. We say to the people of Sumn ton, God speed you in your g work; keep a vigilant eye for the breakers; and without fear or fa with an eye single to justice, do y duty. You are right; engaged noble cause; and will receive merited well-done of every good; honest citizen. The postal card celebrated its tv tieth birthday on September 25,1; Prussia suggested it 1865, but Aur began it in 1869. America took in 1873, and by 1878 its use was Leaving out of the calculation, seasonable weather, disasters and er matters beyond human control, safe to say that anything which real merit; for which there isa r or want; or for which a want cai &eted; and which sells at a reas bl price, can be profitably adveri in the newsaaers. To the people of Clarendon. I am daily receiving an immense ,tock of spring goods, bought direct rom first hands and at the manufac- u urers' lowest prices, which are offered ti o the purchasing public at tempting a prices, and I stand ready to convince any reasonable man or woman that there is no house in Sumter or Clar endon that can undersell me this spring. This assertion is made because it. has been my special business to s purchase my spring goods with an eye s single to capturing the trade of the large number of farmers that have made their arrangements to buy this I year for cash, and I have made up my mind to offer special inducements to the people, and put a stop to their t going to other towns to trade. C Instructions have been issued to my clerks not to allow a dollar to leave my store if it is possible to prevent it, and any person desiring to buy for 1 cash will have prices guaranteed them. I have bought the largest and best asssorted spring stock that has been bought by me in many years, simply because I am confident that there is a disposition among the people of Clar endon to patronize their county seat if the proper inducements are offered them, and this desire I am thoroughly prepared to gratify. Therefore, a cordial invitation is extended to every person in the coun ty to call and examine my new goods just being opened, consisting vM all the latest styles nf 1:ai~es- dress goods, prints, sateens, ginghams, cheviots, &c., India linens, mulls, Persian and victoria lawns, batistes, and in fact all kinds of white goods, also a most beautiful line of embroideries and flouncings, long cloths of all brands, etc. If a lady can be pleased in any store she certainly can be at mine this spring. I have also been exceed ingly careful in selecting a fine line of ladies', gentlemen's, and children's shoes. I have grown tired of hearing complaints about the Manning shoe stock, and determined to correct the evil by placing upon my shelves the very best shoe that could bo found in market, and can safely say that I now have the best shoe that has ever been displayed in this town. My clothing department has been filled with the latest styles of men's, youths', and boys' clothing, and will guarantee that I can sell them as cheap as any house in the State. Just come and examine my gents' furnishing depart ment if you would like to see the prettiest line of neekwear that has ever been brought to a country town, and the prices are low. The grocery and hardware depart ments are always full and complete, and I desire to impress it upon the minds of the people that I will not al low any merchant in this or any other town to undersell me. Come and ex amine for yourselves, get my prices and then after a fair trial if I fail to - satisfy you it is your privilege to go elsewhere. Until then all that I ask is a reasonably fair chance at your patronage. MOSES LEVI. ,Clarendon County Farmers' Allhance Directory. 2PRxEyT~--James E. Tindal, Packsville.

In the official report of the city council of harleston, in the News and Conrier of Jan atry 30, 1890,we find the following item in ie bill reported by the committee on ways ad means, making appropriations for the seal year ending December 31st, 1890: 'or the payment of the contract with the Sisters of Mercy for the support of not less than seventy-five destitute orphans. $6,000.00 This simply means an appropriation of 6,000 from the public funds to sustain a ectarian institution--the Catholic Orphan ouse conducted by the Sisters of Mercy. We suppose it is no news to the people of harleston that the public funds are thus aisappropriated. If we are correctly in rmed, these appropriations have been Liade for many years, and the amounts tave been increased from time to time, un il now it requires an annual expenditure f $6,000 to satisfy the greed of the Romish ihurch. Appropriations of public funds to secta -ian institutions at any time and under any onditions are undemocratic and indefensi )le; but in this particular case there is not ven the excuse of charity for this misdirec ion of the people's money. Charleston has Ln orph; n house established one hundred rears ago oy a city ordinance "for the pur >ose of supporting and educating poor, or ,han children, and those of poor, distress ,d and disabled parents, who are unable to support and maintain them." This insti ;ution has long been the pride of the city. e doubt if a more worthy one can be found tnywhere. it is entirely non-sectarian. Ihe children of Jew and Gentile, Protes ant and Catholic, may be sheltered within Its walls. It is conducted by a board of :ommissioners composed of some of the eards citizens of the city and State, who ire responsible to the city council for their :fficial acts. The immediate management is in the hands of Christian women of the highest social nosition, the most unblem ished charactei-, and the most thorough calification for the delicate and responsi ble work committed to them. If such an institution, conducted with such signal bility and success, is not good enough for ur Catholic friends-or our friends of any ther dcnomination for that matter-let them establish and maintain their own in stitution. Neither that, nor any other sect, has any right, legal or moral, to draw funds from the public treasury to support a secta rian institution, even though it be an or phan asylum. This evil ought to be abated, but we have no hope that the city council will do it. The Catholics hold the balance of political pow er in Charleston as they do in nearly all of our large cities, and they know how to work the political machine so as to secure their ends. If any member of the city council should oppose this appropriation he would thereby sign his political death-.arrant. Such is the hold that priest and nun have over the politics and the public treasuries o this free American Republic! But there is a way of reaching and cor recting this abuse. Thank God, the Stat Legislature is not yet under the control ol the strong arm of rome. Let the Protest ants of Charleston, if they have the spir of American freemen, petition the Legisla ture to so amend the charter of the city o Charleton as to make it forever illegal foi the city council to appropriate one cent t< any sectarian institution whatever, Catho lie or Protestant. Even with such ai amendment passed and ratilied, it will re quire eternal vigilance to keep the traine< and skillful hand of Rome out of the publi treasury.-Suthernt Christian Advocde.

The most foolish piece of legislation which the present legislature is guilty is I act limiting the rate of interest on money 8 per cent, per annum. This is the th: time within tha last few years the usury la have been changed. Money in South Carolina at 10 per ce is cheap. The value of money depends -the conditions necessitating its empl - ment. It can't be fixed at an arbitr: standard by an act of the general asse-mb. ; The farmers, who are responsible for t change, will be the principal sufferers. will have the result of throwing the farm - back into the hands of the Charleston f - tors, and finally into the hands of the lh vers. ; Banks have been established all over1 - State under the old rates. These banks h: done more to relieve the farmers of into. able burdens imposed by the Charlesi -commission men than any other thing-a excepting good crops. . These banks borrow their money at 6a s7 per cent. and lend it at 10 per cent. TI Scan't afford to lend it at 8. The result'i be that the banks will have to close tl s books against the farmers and othersv ; want long loans and become merely me ums of commercial exchange, employ: -. their own capita only. 3 Capitalists, corporations, and loan ag cies generally having offices here, lend t; money on real estate, will withdraw 11 imoney from South Carolina and place other States where the security is equ. . ood and the returns more liberal. i- *Besides the cnsiderations above bri, mentioned, it is bad policy and exceedix t; poor statesmanship that would keep a x t ter of such importance in a state of un< tainty by reason of these constant chan: t; While thirgs are so unsettled capital will rs come to our State. L The farmers will bitterly rue their i before the next year expires. It does L take any extraordinary acumen or pre y. ence to foretell disaster to our State res ing from this act.-Swter- Watchman. ss Alliance Politics. R.

The order will not go into it tis, but its members will go to the pol .~the primaries and at the general elect: And they will know the men who best re t-e- sent their~ interests, and they will vot( rs) jcordingly.

SoMTIIrN ABOUT FLoWER CULTURE. -With a little energy and persever ance almost any one can sultivate flowers, and there is nothing that will repay one for a little trouble so well. But to have a nice flower garden of choice exotics requires an outlay of means, which few can afford, yet a small garden cultivated with your own hands will yield you far more pleasure than the finest collection cultivated by an experienced gardener. Select a few varieties, give them atten tion, and after gaining some experi ence, then buy the choicer kinds. For a brilliant, showy bed the petunia, phlox drommondii, and verbenas are the most suitable. If taller kinds are desired zinrias, gladiolus, and French marigolds are best. These are recom mended to begin with as they are the easiest cultivated. If you wish to have pretty vines, and the soil outside is too poor, or perhaps you may wish them for an upper story piazza, take a large wooden box about four feet long and fill with rieb soil. Make a lattice frame and nail to the back of the box. Plant near the frame morn ing glories and cypress vines. In front plant three or four geraduniq; bright colors, pansies, etc. Paint the box and frame, and with -a little attention you will be well repaid for your trouble, and have a very pretty orna ment for the sunny portion of your piazza. Some drooping vincs to hang over the box will be an improvement. CnocIEfD SLrUnPER.-Double zephyr, or fine Germantown wool of any desir able color may be used. Begin the design at the back by making a chain of 21 stitches. Work 13 rows in Tunisian crochet, then work 7 stitches in the air, that are to be joined at the 13th row to make the top of the foot. Separate the first 21 stitches and work all around the slipper, having an open ing on the foot. Diminish by drop ping one stitch at the beginning and end of each row, for 12 rows. Close the slipper on the wrong side with the hook, also close the under and back seams by joining the 21 stitches in the middle, and fastening them on the wrong side to form the top of the shoe. Work successively 3 rows on the 7 stitches in the air. Finish the whole by working a row of half-bars all around, and line with silk.--DEonws tic Magazine.
