Each county had a representative in the manage meut of the exchange in an or gauization styled the ucouuty trustee stockholders," and so long as the sub-alliances and thecoun ty alliances remaiued in exiatance, this organization was kept alive and in actual touch with the ex I change.

I At the redent meeting iu Co lumhia, when it was determined to abandon the exchange and dis tribute the money in hand, there were only a very few counties which were represented by actual I members ot the organization then in session. In a large majority* of the counties there are very few sub-alliaiices in working or der, and in many of them none at all. County alliances do not number a half score, and in fact, they can be counted upon the fingers of one hand, where there iu Q |\ TT trim I I t r? i ? l> ? ? ?
