The scheme waa the joint invention of ? V . B.?I Balch, secretary of the National ? Cordage eompauy (by which the Twine a and Bagging Trost is incorporated) and ( " v Oswald Wilson, president of the Farm- ( ; ers* Alliance exchange of N.

Mr. Wilson canvassed a fe'v the Sooth and West in person in the r r interest of the project and selected the tl meo to be invited to come io on the gi fe ground floor. When all things were <j ready and the list had been made suffi- 1 . ? ciently inflaentiai io appearance to suit a *'-\ the concoctors, notices were sent to the S\ ? selected individuals to meet at the As- %\ tor house, N. Y.. city, Sunday, J une 21. c; v Nearly every invitation brought ?.. man, a h~ bot a few of the schemers went to anoth- js 1 ' er hotel instead of the one appointed as S the general 1ezvous and thereby n I nearly gave the scheme away. They i\ were corralled by the leaders, however, ej I and escorted with other delegates to c] I - CredeYSooth Beach Hotel, on the bay 0i f4. ?inore side of Staten Island where tH a] conclave was held behind closed doors, p] Besides Balch and Wilson the follow- t{ tog men were present at the meeting: Col. W. Peck, of Geo-gia, president tl of the Georgia Alliance executive com- j &i mittee; G. W. Macune, editor of The j D( National Economist of Washington, j iD - chairman of the National Alliance exe- ; h< ?alive committee and father of the noto- j 0, rious sob-treasury scheme ; D. F.

H. Peck, an attache .C0 of the National Cordage company, as- |? sistaot to Boss Balch. There were two or three others who ra did not register at the Sooth Beach Hotel, bot who attended ail the meet- thi ings, returning to their hotels in the Cc city at night. Among them was a rep- ca resentative of the Alliance in Ohio and wi one from Chicago. se The meetings were held tn the main ra dimng room on the second floor, which an looks ont from a broad piazza over the po Atlantic. The Chicago man, whose tal name could not be ascertained, was elected chairman. Meetings were , held Monday nie'nt, nearly all day a Tuesday and Wednesday morning, ^D June 22, 23 and 24. Nearly all the ? persons attending remained at the 00 Sooth Beach hotel throughout the three . co days. The National Cordage company .-is said to ha Ve footed the bill. *? The scheme which Balch and Wilson laonched opon the meeting was for a national organization of Alliance stores M and exchanges throughout the country, bj with a national headquarters in N. Y., th city, a principal branch establishment to in Chicago, state central exchanges in ru every State, district organizations in fo: every Congressional district and county, th and city exchanges wherever feasible, tn The object was to control the trade of ke the Alliance members, selling to them on the co-operative plan through the f01 local exohanges everything they should |y ever wish to bay at a slight advance on a? the wholesale prices ; the head office to ; pay for the merchandise ; to handle the 0^ surplus products of the farms for the ?a, farmers, and to act as bankers for them 0f whenever required. ^c The branch headquarters at Chicago were designed as a iriain source of sup? ply for pork, lard, Sour and other pro- 001 visions, and for some kinds of agricul- ex taral implements, wagons and furoi- 00 tore. From New, York, or through m lae agency there, it was defined to cei make all necessary purchases in a whole- co1 sale way, cf machinery, boots and shoes, we clothing, bats and caps, sewing ma- t0 chines, harness,?carpets oilcloths, ferti- wa lizers hardware/ dry goods, medicines, weapons, books, and such other stoff as could not be obtained to greater ad- ljCi vantage elsewhere. J^1 Bot this gigantic scheme coa?d not *c! be floated without substantial capital ano without th?* general acceptance and co-oper*iioo oi the members of the Alliance. The National Cordage com- i 8e^ pany stood ready, provided it was given exclusive privileges in the supply of cotton .bagging and binder twine to the Alliance exchanges, to lend substantial financial assistance to the scheme, and ?me of the promoters were very ready to accept its proposition. But Colonel Peck of Ceorgia, refused to counte? nance any such ironclad agreement, rle ?as witling, to arrange with the rwine Trost" to pay its own price for roch of its cotton bagging and twine as the members and exchanges might want ; but he had recently investigated i new .kind of cotton bagging of which ie thought very favorably, and he did not propose to be bound so that he could a ot buy some if he wanted to. Enough )f the others joined him to prevent the sonsummation of the little $10,000, 300 scheme of the Twine Trust. Final y it waa proposed to effect a corporate >rganization under as favorable legal ?nditions as could be obtained-and ite New Jersey law regardling cor? porations was considered quite suffioient y accommodating-with a nominal capi? tal of at least $10,000,000, A system )f preferred proprietary shares of this ?lass to be apportioned among the pres? ent promoters, and to be nooassesable, paid np and everlasting. These shares inly should be represented in the governing organizations. Then there was to be an issue of common shares, which should be open to subscription by the local exchanges and their individual members, upon which the li rectors should levy assessments as necessary iu order to provide funds for ;he transaction of business of the central ?change. Bat the holders should be entitled to no share of the government >f the institution. The scheme as set forth was gen? erally acceptable, and some of the pro Doters were for having it immediately ipproved and put io operation ; but Colonel Peck and Messrs. Gowan and farther were opposed to such a sum nary proceeding. They were appar? ently nuable to satisfy themselves of he wisu">m of the scheme ?nd would tot cousec* to have anything to do rith it until it had received the ap troval of the Alliance through its ar io us channels of expression. Accordingly the scheme was formu ited io a glowing prospectus, io which he name of the institution was quoted s the National Alliance Union, and esolutions were adopted calling upon be State exchanges to submit the oberne to the judgment of their subord? inate district and country exchanges, 'be resolutions further provide that if, nd when a sufficient number of the abordiuate exchanges, speaking irough their respective State ex banges, approve the plan, the obair tan of the South Beach meeting shall isue a cali for a notional convention of tate delegates to consider and form late and finally adopt and organize ie scheme. Secret circulars to this feet have been sent to the State ex ?anges of every State where there is ie to be found. The district treas rers are being quietly educated to the lan and will presently go out among ie alliances to boom it along. Alluring promises of cheap prices to te farmer, high prices for his produce id long dividends on the shares will ? expected to buy, to provide "work g capital" for the proprietary share >lders, will be the inducements held it him Gen Weaver, Col Polk and Rev Sam nails say they are going to run right [uare over the Democratic party. rbat are we going to do about it? im ran over the Utah University, >d that was a good size thing; but not lite so big as the Democratic party.

' There in pressing need in South Carolina at this lime for a statesman. A man who has the ability, the man? hood, the patriotism, the unselfish devotion to the Stale, and the hon? esty of purpose to throw himself into the breach andjpoint out the right and lead the people. We are satisfied that the majority want to do right, and will do the right if they can see it. They feel that lhere is something radically wrong, but just what, has not yet been clearly defined. In their eagerness to right things, a large portion of our people unfortu? nately have been led to extremes by a lot of demagogues who have taken advantage of the general unrest, and they are beginning to see it. Now for a statesman I-Newberry News and Herald. Tobacco culture in Florida, bas been : successful, and profitable, if we csn judge from the oensns report on the subject. The total number of planters during the census year was 629; acres 1.169; number of pounds produced 467, 293; value of crops, estimated on basis of actual sales. $104,631. This would give an average of $89.85 for each acre planted, which is more than double the value of an acre of the best cotton, at the present prices. -- ? ? - The Chill ians are still busily ocupied with their war, but as they are having their wintry weather they no doubt fiud it less arduous than it appears to us from a July stand point. The Con gressiona party are still having the best of the fight. The latest is that the Congres? sional cruiser Magellaoes hes met and defeated three of Balmaceda's war ves sels. Our sympathies are with the insur? geais, who are fighting for their rights, against the usurpation of Bairna> .eda, the would-be dictator. The Coosaw lawyers have agreed that Chief Justice Fuller shall decide that much argued and more taogled case on tts merits. If they shall accept his de? cision as final, no matter what it may be, they will be wise. As it stands now the Coosaw Company is mining rock in the marshes on which it pays no royalty, and the Florida phosphates are becom? ing more popular and in greater demand at the expense of the Carolina diggings. The State has lost but little royalty so far, because the Coosaw people have been paying on the surplus they had stored up when they were stopped The greatest danger is in the advantage the situation gives to the Florida fields. Their development threatens the indus? try in this State with dangerous rivalry. -Barnwell. People. -i-?T^-?>?>-?-mmm A Little Girl's Kxperience In A Light? house. Mr. and Mr*.
