Cbe Ma?rkum m? S oui jiroa WEDNESDAY, MARCH 5. The Alliance of South Caro toa. Tbe first Sob-Alliance in the old Palmetto State was organised io Horrj county io October, 1887. The State Alliance waa organized at Florence in July, 18S8, when ten ceunties, with 162 Sab-Alliance and 2,000 members were represented. The progress of organisation been steady and sore. N??w there are thirty-five counties ; 1, 000 Sab-Alliances, and 30,000 mem? bers represented. Col. E. T. Staekbouse ts the Presi? dent of tbe State Alliance ; whose ringing words we bave given in our columns from time to time. He magnifies his position, and demonstrates that in honoring ?him his brethren honored themselves ?nd their organi? sation. Born sixty-five years ago in the oonnty of Marion, near where he now lives, he has devoted bis life to farming, and has been the leader of ex tea? vt farming and agricultural develo tinrent. Col. Stackhouse is the beau iofearof the Southern farmer, for be raises everything necessary for the sustenance of man and beast OD bis own farm. He spends annually six dollars per acre in fertilizers and for thirteen years past has averaged 600 pounds of lint cotton per acre on his wages farm, aud last year from ISO acres in bis home farm, gathered 279 bales of cotton. The average yield of corn on his wages farm for thirteen years has been fitty bushels per acre. The State Alliance is fortunate in having for its Secretary Hon. J. W. Heed, who brings to 'bear in the dis? cbarge of the duties of his .position, intense earnestness, rare cuitare, and untiring vigilance. He seems to have j been prepared by nature, gifts and inclination for the office. We have alluded in previous issues to the Alliances Exchange, its spleo ded management and encouraging out? looked. The business manager is M L. 'Don? aldson, a member of the State 'Senate from Greenville County, who as his handsome face shows, bas an abondance of nerv and backbone. Although but forty-five years of age, ie hae made a phenomenal success of farnnng. -Under bis wise and vigorous management, the Exchange will ondoobtedty prove incalculable benefit to *he far ni i ug inter? ests of South Carolina. About Fertilizers. The following, from an exchange, on j ( the ase and abuse of fertilizers, we consider worthy a placer Too maoy of oar-.people use fertilizers indiscriminately. They think that there is some magic about it, just so it is sacked and branded. They should remember that when they buy a sack of guano they get only two or three elements of plant food. If a farm is ran down, with little humus in the soil, then it will be -necessary to use a perfect manure which will contain nitrogen, phosphoric acid, and potash. If land is well kept ?up and nitrogen crops raised and returned to the soil, the farmer will fiod a good dissolved bone, j i or acid phosphate about what he needs l If one has four or five loads of good j i lot manure to the acre, let him add 200 to 300 pounds of Acid phosphate and he will have a perfect manure. If one has the cotton seed be has the basis of ammonia The dissolved bone is the very thing needed wi?b cotton seed, or cotton seed meal Laads that are wanting in vegetable matter, or which are remote from stables should have j , tbe best arrnnoniated goods io the j market. After selecting the kind of L fertilizer to be used, the land should I be wetl prepared and the grass kept down. A tee days' growth of grass ( injune will ?bout exhaust the little I thread of -guano that was in the fut row in tue early spring. ?Fertilizers .pct-io well prepared soil are not going to j disappear except through the roots off plants. They have no choice as to the : kinds of plants they nourish unless they do give grass in a cotton row the pre? ference over cotton. Every weed and sprig of grass taken up in the early spring gives the cotton and corn so much tuo-e to live OD. NO farmer can get the full value of bis fertilizer with? out clean culture. Alliance 'Officers' Salaries. The following are the amounts of the salaries received by the officers of the J National Alliance and industrial Union : j L L Polk, president-Salary $3. 000 per annum and all expenses, with j 31 000 per annum for office assistant.

Hyatt, of Brooklyn, says in the Scientific American of March 1 : Tbe English sparrow ie a grauivo 1 rous and not a carnivorous or iuwefivo- j rous bird, and will not touch an insect. ! The couotry to-day is as much, if not more, infested with injurious ?itwect.? | than before the sparrow made it-s ap- : pearance, and that is owing greatly to | the fact that the English sparrow is an j enemy to and has driven most of our ! native birds away, which wereiosect- | eatsng and did much towards -ridding I the country of the pests. The little wren, one of the most valuable insect- ! eating birds, has got to be quite a curiosity on aecount of its scarcity, being run out by boss sparrow It is a fact that the sparrow has become a nuisance in every respect, and should be exterminated. The habits of birds bas been a life study with me. end I speak from experience. Tu Remove Warts. A. J Mosely ? Sons. West Pbiia- j delpbia, Fa., says in the Scientific American of March 1 : In reading the Scientific American of February ^8 I found a remedy for removing warts. I send you a remedy that we have found ; to be better and more simple. Take ! cou oioo washing soda and make a very ; strong solution. Apply it to the w?rt four or five times a day. We have tried this and have never seen one wart that this would not remove in a few da}S and leave uo soreness at all. A Snake in Her Arm. Mr. Paul Joyner teHs us a wonderful snake story, that is of scientific interest. Living about tweuty-two miles from here is an aged lady, who has had for the last forty years a snake in her left upper arin. When first noticed, forty years ago, it was very small, but it has now grown to be about one foot iu length. It lays in a U shape, with the tail and head pointing to the elbow. It is just beneath the skin and can be plainly seen. The head and eyes can be clearly made out and the pulsations of its heart felt. The scales of the snake can also be felt, and when much disturbed a slight movement can be seen about the bead and tail. The possessor of the strange pet has been unwilling always to have the ser? pent cut out, but has consented to allow it to be done after deafeh. - How the snake ever found its home io such a place is not known, and it is only known that the woman was bitten by a snake about forty years ago. Mr Joyner soon will take Dr. Phil? pot to see the wonder, and then we may expect to hear a scientific discussion on this thing-Columbia Record. **Dem1fi Nor'f Carolina Feet." A few weeks ago a North Carolina family, DOW'residing uear Wilmington, were returning form Oklahoma terri? tory. While seated on the cars the lady was eagerly -eyed by an old negro woman, who occupied a seat just op? posite tocher in the same car. Nothing was said and but little attention was paid to the old woman, uutil when accidentally the lady displayed one of her feet, the old darkey grasped it with visible joy, exclaiming, "Dem's Nor'f Carolina feet:; I knows these women here have no sich little feet." She seemed perfectly happy when told that she was correct and that the lady was then on ber way to Goldsboro. The old woman's eyes filled with tears when the time for separation came. She hailed from Sampson county and longed to get back to the big blue buckelberry country.- Wilmington Messenger. A party of fruit growers from Ohio are now down io Georgia spying out the land to see how they like it. A Philadelphia company has par chased 1.900 acres of land near Kis siraee, ?Florida, which they will turn into a great tobacco farm. The Florida phosphate deposits still attract the attention of capitalists. It ts said that phosphates have been dis? covered in Southern Georgia and in Louisiana. I Capt Z. T. Drake, of Marlboro coun- J ty, the man who made 2^7 bushels of ? som on an acre, and received $1.000 j is a price, is selling this corn at ?20 per bushel or ten grains for a nick. Boston capitalists have bought a large quantity of land in Lexington 30outy, S C., which is said tobe one ?reat body of -kaolin, and large pottery works will be erected for making white table ware. Senator Cullom ha? introduced, by request, a bill now before a Senate committee authorizing the Secretary of j the Treasury to lend money to farmers u 2 per cent, interest a year. An Atlanta man says: "Talking about trasts, the South ought to form a trust not to buy from any house or firm in the north or west which lies about and villifies the Southern people." That Atlanta man's head is level President Stackbouse of the South Carolina State Alliance says that the jute trust is now offering to sell bag? ging for this year's crop at seven cents per yard. That's all right, but the farmers are satisfied with cotton bag? ging and will use it from this time on deceiver Chamberlain, of the South Carolina railway, made a visit to Edge field .last week, and while there he could not resist the temptation to go out and see the spot where he had to submit to a joint debate with Gen M. W. Gary and others in 1876. it is pretty evident from reports from carious parts of the State, that the acre? age planted in cotton will be increased ave to ten per cent. The indication is that a larger amount of fertilizers have been bought this season tfban last. Some of the Charleston Companies can take uo more orders and there has been a pressing demand for freight cars for the last three weeks on the South Carolina road. All the business men of Athens, Ga., have signed a paper binding themselves to have no dealings with any firm with which John Wanamaker is connected The boycott is the result ot the appoint? ment of an ignorant negro of bad char? acter as postmaster over the protest of ! the entire community. The boycott is extending all over the State. The Johnstown disaster has been re- j peated on the Hassayampa river iu Arizona Last Saturday morning a storage dam at Walnut Grove, that had boen built two years a^o at a coi*t of ?o00.0u0, gave way under the-.pressure of the grear fl ?od. and the town of Wickenberg, forty miles WI.?vp was swept away. Over a hundred lives were lost, and millions of dollars ot j property destroyed.

And the statements therein made are not exaggerated. The lead? ing New York paperfc contained full re? ports of the dinner, with descriptions of the "spread" and of the toilets of the chief ladies. The following is the clip? ping referred to : "Mr. and MrsT Bradley Martin, wealthy members of Now York's "Four Hundred' gave a dinner at Deltnooico's to 300 guests one day last week, the estimated cost of which was ?40,000. Mrs. Martin's gems were worth a king's ransom. Besides the tiara and stom? acher of diamonds she wore a colarctte and necklace of rubies and several strings of diamonds as well, and shoulder knots of rubies. The colarette was formed by two bracelets which once adorned the arms of Marie Antoinette, being purchased by the present owner at the sale of the French crown jewels. Florida Fhcspnates. The Fort -Gaines, Fla., Advocate says : As i?. M. Oliver, in company with a lot of friends, was chasing a fox through a field near Payne's Prairie Saturday night last, his horse ran into a sink, and in getting the animal out on Sundy morning attention was at? tracted to the numerous curious pecrolo gical formation on the side of the sink. Further examination on Monday dis? closed immense beds of the petrified bones of the now extinct dinotherum giganteum, ichthyosaurus, glyptodon, paleotberuin, mastodon giganteus, megatherium cuvieri, plesiosaurus and pterodactyl. This is probably the richest find in fhe world. Buckler's Arnica Salve. The Best Salve in the world for Cuts, Braises Sores. Ulcers, Salt Rheum. Fever Sores, Tetter.

The prisoners, consistiug of both men and women, are subjected to the most barbarous cruelties and outrages and many are put to death on trumped up charges. At one time all the women in a certain prison abstained from eating food, preferring to die from starvation rather than undergo the ter? rors of prison life. Only by horrible tortures could the guards compel the women, after fourteen days abstinence, to take nourishment. In the same prison thirty men took poison and two of them died from the effect, but unfor? tunately for the other poor sufferers, they were discovered and medicine was administered and they were thus saved for further punishment.
