In every lise, of business there are abundant 'signs of life and activity. All of onr farmers are making preparations for harvesting their crops which undoubted? ly will tarn out a good average yf??cT. Our merchants took a survey of the ?hole field before they went North and the prospects were so good that they were warranted in buying immense stocks of goods this season. New cot? ton ?a DOW coming in daily, and in a few* moro days business in our city will be pushing ahead at a rapid pace. There is no town in the State that has a brighter future than Sumter. There is a big chance for all pushing energetic business men who will come to Somier with capital and start busi? ness here. New stores have been built sod new firms have been recently opened TO Sumter. All this goes to show that Sumter is on a quiet and substantial - boom. F?BM?BS ORGANIZE ! The farmers ali over the world are ?roused to the' fact that they must organize for protection. It is their only salvation. Combination must be ?et with combination. There is more or less organization and combination ?moog the various classes of business men, who are looking ont for self. Why not the farmers do likewise? The individual effort- of cor farmers is too indescribably weak to compare with tito combined efforts.of the hundreds and thousands they are compelled to deal with in the affairs of life. The Farmers* Alliance promises to be a great blessing to thc farmers of this State?8 it has been co thore in all the other States where it has been established. Efforts are now bein?): nade to organize a Farmers' Alliance io this County, and we wish the movers ?od-epeed in this noble work. TBX STATE CONVENTION. The State Convention meets tc-mor? se*. What will be tho outcome of t&s convention is just at present an ?fkksown quantity. Thc re-oomioa iaoB of Gov. Richardson is by no means a certainty. Some how or other there is a strong sentiment against him in the State, and it is not certain that his peraooal popularity combined with the feet that he has made an excellent governor, will be able to overcome this opposing sentiment. In all probability strong and good Kee will be brought forward in thc con? vection to-morrow as candidates for Governor, and it is the sacred duty of each and every delegate to vo:c fer the best mao, be he Richardson or Lc Le DOt Richardson. South Carolina cz- j pects every delegate to do his whole | ??ty to-morrow and that will consist in voting for the very best men out, for j the various o?ces to be fl lied for the ] next two years. ] THE JUDICIAL CONVENTION, j ? The Judicial Convention of the Third j District which met at Pawley's Island 1 en last Wednesday evening for the es press parp?se of nominating a Solicitor for this District was a miserable failure, j T. M. Gilland, J. J. Dargan and John I S. Wilson were thc candidates before the convention. Each of these gentle- j mea had warm and enthusiastic Sup? porters who ao doubt were animated ; with the hope that the candidate of their , choice would be tho successful one in : the race. But however anxious the ' delegates to this conveution were to see the man of their choice receive the oom- : tflation, and however hard they were willing to work to secure the honor for ! their favorite, yet they should not have ! made the duty for which thc convention ; wai called a secondary consideration. The Judicial Convention was com? posed of thirty delegates who were em- j powered by the D?mocratie voters of this District to do a certain duty, spec ified in" the call for the convention. They knew what they were sent there for, and they certainly ought to have been impressed with a high sense of Democratic duty and allegiance 'to the party. The candidate of this or that delegation does not constitute the party. It is all right and proper for a delegate to do every thing in his power in the interest of the candidacy of his favorite, but in doing this he should not forget that he has a nobler and higher duty to perform for the Democratic party and one which he cannot or at least ought not to set aside in his zeal to gratify a mere personal desire in the interest of any particular candidate. The conven? tion was called for a specific purpose and every voter in this District had a right to expect that that duty would have been performed before the conven? tion adjourned. There were one hun? dred and nineteen ballots without change, and the Convention adjourned without action. What child's play and outrageous partisanship on the part of a nominating convention. If the voice of the people of this Distriot could be heard* we feel confident that the action of these delegates would be most severe? ly condemned. Although this is not the first instance of an obstinate and willful dead-lock, yet that fact does not justify the practice in the least. After making a complete farce of the business the convention was expected to do, it adjourned to meet at Kingstree on the 18th instant-presumably to play the same little ohildish game over again. YELLOW FEYER. The fever is still on the increase at Jacksonville; but the bill of mortality still remains very low, which indicates that-the disease must be of a very mild type The reports yesterday were 43 new cases and one death. Quite a sensation was gotten up last week by a report that there was a ease of yellow fever in Charleston; but the matter bas been thoroughly investigated [-soif de^Te^^t^igi^ is kept upon all strangers and no one aiT&wnU to stop in the city who will endanger the health of the place. FARMERS' ALLIANCE MEET? ING. According to announcement Mr. J. E. Pettigrew, of Florence, was in Sum? ter on Monday for the purpose of taking steps for organizing a Farmers' Alli? ance in this County. About half-past twelve o'clock thirty some odd farmers from the different sections of the County assembled in Music Kail, and on motion of Capt. E'. H. Holman, Mr. R: L. Heriott was called to the chair and Mr. Willie Bryant made ' secretary of the meeting. The chair requested Mr. J. E. Pettigrew, lecture/ S. C. State Alliance and Organizer for Sumter I County, to state the object of the meet \ ing. Mr. Pettigrew stated forcibly and briefly that the Farmers' Alliance was first organized tn Texas about eleven years ago, and that this organ? ization now extended from that State to Virginia, and that wherever it had been established it resulted in great good to the farmers. He pointed tiffi eras in substantiation of this assertion, as it was in that State where the Alliance was most thoroughly organized and the system* was inuits most perfect state. The lecturer said that this was an ase of combinations, trusts, syndicates, or j ganizations and unity among all classes j of business men, except the farmers, j and that they alone were unorganized, j and were totally unprepared to meet the ? emergencies of the times thus brought about by the combinations now estab I Hshed in all departments of business all [ over the world. Mr. Pettigrew declar j ed that in order for the farmers to bo able to hold their own in the business affairs of life, they, from necessity, must organize and that soon. If they did not they would go to the wall. That it was human nature to look out for self, and that was all these combina? tions and trusts were doing. The farmers must act epen the same princi? ple. Tho necessity of che case required it of them. That organization for the protection of themselves was absolutely i necessary, and that that fact was patent I to all. That tho Farmers' Alliance ! had for its object the protection of the ? farmers and the advancement of every I thing that pertained to their calling. ? That it was not a political organization, j but that the Alliance wouid undertake j to educite its members up to th e needs i j and requirements of thc times, and j when that was accomplished as a matter j i of course they would be able to vote ! I more intelligently and to this intent j on'y was there any politics in the Farm- j i ers' Alliance. That thc Alliance had a | I grand work bef-jre it. That it was not i ! politics they were after. That thc A!- j ' !ia::ce -wanted io crubb cut cf existence j such things as the Bagging Trust and j ! other combina! ions that were bleeding j the po.-'.- farmers to death. [Cheers.] ~ ! ! Mr. Pettigrew informed his Learers ! : that it was necessary ii rsi to organize ? sub-Alliances before tue County Alli- j ance co?:M be effected, and that Le v.-:.: \ here to-day for the purpose ?if makin'' . I arrangements to organize sub-Alliances in the di fis-rent sections of the ('.?:: rt ry. At the conclusion ot Mr" Pettigrew's remarks he stated th ut he would be glad j to hear from ?;?>!. ??. ??. Dargan nu the : importance of organizing a Farmers' Alliance in Sum'tr Coaury. That as he had he en to Texas and seen rise good eil.?'* of such an organization, ho I c-ou'd ti ti doubt give j: i -ti of val? able information on the need of a Farm? ers' Alliance in Sumter County. in response to the erie* for *.'.]. Hsr ?an. lie arose and in a ve?7 clear i forcible speech set t*?*f??.-.- l i*- r*e'.rers the rrreai advances :.> be i .'iv : from a Farmers;* Alliance. That he had seen the jr?H. ! c{LcN <>f such au orj-stit ZTtion in educator. That he had vv course ?;f the "Alliance men*' in ?? c Legislature iii Texas. That they were always ruorougtwy iijiormcd av? questions that related .;?? tua farmers and that they wore most valoahie legis? lator*. That the Farmers' Aliianse was the thing f--?r the farmers Thai 'herc was no Tiilmanism in i!. That ho feared, despised and abhorred Tiilman? ism. That there was no good in it. ]>ut that he was delighted io think we were going to have a Farmers' \ li ian re the Farmers' Alliance were broad liberal. That it made war upon class-not upon the merchants, doct lawyers or other class of citizens. ? it was a safe organization, aud he ho that a Farmers' Alliance would sooc organized in Sumter County. Mr. Pettigrew will be in this Cou again on next Monday for thc purp of organizing sub-Alliances in the fercnt sections of the County. The pointments of the different meetings this purpose can be seen elsewhcn this issue. (From our Regular Correspondent.) WASHINGTON LETTER. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 31, 18B? Mr. Cleveland returned from a th days' fishing trip in West Virginia t morning The Senate bas increased the arno1 appropriated by thc fortifications 1 from' ?3,625,000, as passed by I House, to ?5,322,000 ; and also ad( a provision under which ?6,000,0 additional may be spent within th years in the purchase of guns. Controller of the Treasury Trenho has gone to New York, where he wi to-night, deliver an address before t Reform Club of that city, on 'the pr ent aspect of tho Tariff question.' The democrats in Congress prop< to make things lively for trusts by troducing separate bills covering t productions of each trust. Senat 'Reagan has introduced a bill to pert the importation of jute bagging free duty. In his remarks upon the bill, spoke of the trust which had increas the price of jute bagging, and said tb the cotton planters were seriously d cussing the advisability of withholdi: their cotton from the market until soi thing can be done to break down tl trust, which has boldly struck at one thc greatest interests of the country an interest that has no protection ai which has to compete in the markets the world with qotton from other cou tries. Congress has the power to pr tect this great industry by simply takij the duty off cf jute bagging. These ai other similar bills will be forced to vote at the earliest possible moment, it is the intention of the democrats force thc republicans to put themselv on record in this matter of trusts. The republicans have not yet recove I ed from the panic into which Mr. Clev land's courageous message on tl Canadian question threw them. Tl Senators of that party held a cane 7a??-sight, to decide upon what thf shall do abc-^i jhis question, and t! tariff, upon both ?^-whjich they are sea without rudder or c?mpass. ? final agreement was reached, they .sri caucus again in a few days. Mr Cleveland is said to have coi tributed $10,000 to the democrat campaign fund. This is worrying tl republicans a great deal, but 1 do ni see why. The head of the pari certainly has the right to set a goc example to the rank and file. The House has passed thc bill provic ing that all Government securities sha be printed in the highest style of ar and on hand presses. This does awa with the steam plate presses in th Bureau of Engraving & Printing. The House Committee on Foreig Affairs is engaged in perfecting th j bili offered by Representative Wilson to confer the necessary power upon th President to retatliate upon Canada fo her treatment of our interests. Th bill will be reported to the House a soon as possible, and it wili be passe* immediately, as the republicans will nc clare to oppose it. By dint of hard work thc House ha j again bad a quorum present this week I but it is not likely to keep it long Private business of a political natur will prove to be too much for the mos of the members. Many republicans here are of th< opinion that the Senate wjil not pass ? tariff bill at the present session. Per i haps not, but if it does not after all thi j bluster in which the republican Sena j tors have indulged, it will certainly be I a remarkable backdown. Chairmen Barnum and Brice, of th) democratic national committee, hav< submitted to Mr. Cleveland their plat of campaign in detail, and asked birt to suggest any changes that he might desire. His reply was that he had nc suggestions to make ; that the commit? tee were doing everything just a3 he would have it done. Representative Crain, cf Texas, who was a member of the Hoase committee on foreign affairs in the last Congress, says the charge that Mr. Cleveland had changed his position on the Canadian question is absurd. When the so-called retaliation act was passed, March 3, 18S7, there were two bills, one a House bill, which wa9 endorsed by Mr. Cleve? land, sad was just such a bill as the President's message now calls for ; the other was the milk aud water Senate i bili, which was accepted by the House j as better than nothing on the day before j the expiration of thc session. Mr. ! Cleveland stood then right where he does sow. A bill has been introduced into the IIOU.VD to define trusts aud the punish? ments of persons connected therewith. Farmers' Alliance. . SUMTER, 3.
