In con elusion, the resolution has this signif icant paragraph: "We would not, however, shut our eyes to any abuses in tho present management, but would urge a stricter supervision of its af fairs on tho part of our people and the public officials." Tho Alliance passed a resolution protesting against the em ployment of State convicts on farms except for tho raising of supplies for tho convicts tiiomselves, and insist ing that they be employed In the build ing of roads. This was adopted in tho stead of 0110 urged by the Kdgeeombo Alliance urging that tho convicts bo lined in the manufacture of fertilizer. Hej/.arding the support of the Agricul tural and Mechanical College, the, Al liance resolved that tho State board 01 iiKiicuiunc uu not in fiuiUO i'C ?* cd to put up the $10,000 annually for the general running expenses, but that the college get Its support from thu State and tho national Agricultural and Mechanical funds just, as other colleges do, and let tl^^gilcnltural Department funds ho used in. tho ex tension of tho Agricultural Depart ment after the running expenses are paid. Another resolution of import ance was to tho effect that steps should be taken throughout the cot {('H irriiwiiig lie*- It. t i't assure tlio systcttii alio marketing of the crop and en dorsing the idea of having cotton warehouses in which farmers can house their crops and draw out any money needed before the staple is sold.
