b| stand by the state exchange | ip? ? and IT will stand by you! WM E|?. An Open I.Pttor from Col. D'Arcy I'. ' Duncan I?xp7:i!:ii:ts; t*:e Artion of tise j Committee i:? to :s , State !?:in k. k To the Members of tin' Alliance in i South Carolina: A* the mee tiof j ? ?4...^ 4.7. %j f., + _ * I.' ? r> rrr? I your conuiiiiicf un .-iim i. , . llljL held in Columbia on the 12th instant. I V much progress Was re-ported. and I was [ requested by the committee to publish! some facts by way of information as f exhortation to our members through- j out the State. As you are aware the matter of per- j |^~ manent location :>! the state Exchange ; ipp anil what was the best disposition or ! use to make of the subscribed | * to the St;ite Exchange was placed in i the hands o: a committ* e. After careful consideration your com- j mit.tee decided to locate the Exchange i in the City of Columbia, not because' I Columbia offered any greater induce-: ments than our other-" cities, but be- j - t L cause it was iiiurc Lt mii:<u ?un'. j the Capital of the State, is visited for: various reasons more frequently by all j classes of our citizens than any other of our cities, thereby giving our mem-1 ?-? hers a better opportunity to make a ! peisonal inspection of the working of i the Exchange, and to become famil-1 iarized with*the means of information j it is proposal to supply through its j agency. You are also cognizant of the fact that the different Sub-Alliances throughout the State subscribed last year *500,000 J as a capital stock for the State Kx^change: 25 per cent of this amount was j called for and promptly paid into the JasSj? Exchange treasury. The board of di*gk rectors of the Exchange decided that *.hp business should be done entirely on a cash basis. This decision, of I course, soon demonstrated that but lit- j tie capital would bo needed, conse^ , quently evena part of the amount col- j lected was invented in state bonds at a 1 low rate of interest. The question then as t<> what was the best investment 'to -ui-ike with ; this fund so as to have it do the" grvill- [ esS good to the greatest number. Your I / committee came to the unanimous con-1 / elusion that the thing to be done was for them to apply for a charter for a rl. State bank of $300,OX) capital, have our State Exchange charter so altered and amended as to allow the Exchange to subscribe $50,000 to the capital stock o*"this bank", individual members o.i the Alliance will be invltecl to take stock in this bank, as well as other citizens who may have faith in our enterprise. (I will say by way of parenthesis that we have received some very flattering- propositions from capital beyond the limits of our State to join in with us if we really mean business.) This bank will be organized and conducted just as all banks of similar character are managed. "We have been asked what more does this mean to the Alliance than the mere establishment of another t>ank in the State? Let us see if the facts do not bear us out in claiming- that vour committee acted wisely in reaching1 their conclu-1 sion. "While your .State Exchange may j not need any large amount of money; to do its business, yet at the same time t it is very necessary that it should h ive a money credit at its cor- maud and likewise hav# a business rating in the commercial world. Ill The solution of these two questions will be wry simple and easy, when it. lamSi becomes a known fact that tiiis Hxchange owns -^-"jO.OOO oi' the capital stock of a properly and ably conducted I SfatP hank - that", it did m t!i? Urst sfcV en months ot its existence a cxsh business of over *100.000 with tit >:ie loss of one tenth oi' 1 per cent. Our farmers an- sometimes slow to"" catch on, so I will take the liberty of ^ nienti^Jmr occur~mjth ??iufr"">tate ExchaugeYfn- past season, which is illustrative. When the S'ate Alliance met in Jul}' last and the matter of bagging was taken up Mr. Donaldso j, the State Rgen\ announced th;tt he had a proposition lor 5'XyjiiO yards of sugar sa k baling at a low figure, one-half to be paid cash, the other in thirty days: the oiler was accepted. Suddenly, without notice, the agent who sold tne.goods to Mr. Donaldson informed him that "his people*' would not-, fninu the fontrnr-t. without, the en- I tire bill was paid cash. I need not pro into details here as to why this party acted in this manner; it is* enough for us to consider that here was some thirty odd thousand dollars to be raised at short notice or a good trade lost. Mr. Donaldson, through his personal I credit and with the kind assistance of ] some of hi- bankin ,r friends, was on- j abled to carry the amount and hold the j trade, Tlad Mr. Donaldson at that time represented y.?<_*> oi't he capital j F stock of one of the banks :n the city of Greenville there never would have1 been a question raised about the trade. I don't suppa.se any one is simple enough to imagine that the bank is to do the entire business of the Alliance, or that it will work any great revolution in the mode, manner or terms on which an Alliance man will get monetary assistance when needed. Your money is to be put in this bank to make money for you as other banks make it. Tt IT-1i? vnn vtir'- iJiiwMv :>rw! msl. + "111 iiwy ? . terially through your State .Exchange, I and indirectly in. a healthy influence j over other such institutions. Does it not ocei:r to you that Ii' your business agent, without carrying a dollar's worth of stock, has saved you thousands of dollars in a business way. that a bank owned and controlled largely by, you, collectively or individually, may aid you much in u financial way? The education and life of our fanner leads him to look at things not in the abstract, but always m the concrete form. If you tell him anything he has got to see the result right tlujre and then; if you show him anything and ..iiw.- HiVrt to vnt- !.i<mvii hnml on it at once he immediately becomes a doubting1 Thomas.

One of tlie principal questions to be considered will be the policy of the or! ganization for IS02. At national headquarters, in this city, that policy has already received consideration. Some of the leaders in this movement, encouraged by recent successes, ligure out the possibility of a third party victory 011 a national scale. The manner in which they do it is interesting, if not wholly convincing. It is actual Alliance headquarters figuring, too, and not, as most readers would suppose, tin emanation from a newspaper cilice. They classify the states and the present electoral vote as.

The Alliance argument is that m all the states classified as lighting ground tile farmers' and laborers'organizations are. or will be. strong enough to hold the balance of power. AX ALIANCE MAX*S VIEWS. An Alliance congressman-elect from the west puts the plan in this way: "In states where the Democratic partyis in the minority the Peoples'party will fuse with the J K-mocrats, each of the parties in the fusion to have an equal share of electoral votes'. The same will be done with the Republicans in the states where they are in the minority. That will insure as a full and fair vote, , north, south, east, west. The probabilities of a tliird party coining into the field will confuse the"old time politicians. Xo one can so easily determine in advance the possibilities of the future en lino mq who :irr? in the secret counsels of the Alliance. Therefore, the advantage in such a triangular contest will be ours/' I'rofessional Kobber.

Con'MinA, S Nov. 22. -Special: ('unusual inb-rest is felt in 'lie work of the Legislature which is to meet here 0!i Tuesday next. The recent campaign, resulting in the election of Captain Tillman as Governor, is thought also to have given character to the General Assembly, to such an extent that a majority of each branch will be in sympathy with the policy and purposes of the Governor elect, in his speeches Captain Tillman took frequent occasions to warn the people that he could do little of himself, and that he wanted good men, in sympathy with his movement, sent from every county to the Legislature, ''"he responsibility does indeed rest ultimately upon i.u: law-making branch of the government. lint there can be little doubt tnat. m present conditions in this .State, the views and suggestions of the Executive will have especial weight. The opinions of Captain Tillman n-pon several matters of great importance ; are already well known, but on these the Legislature will probably defer j action till the Governor shall have made known his views in an oilicial J way?in his inaugural address. It is understood that his induction into | ollice will take place on the 5th December. Meantime matters of some public ! importance may come up. In any view I the session promises to oe one oi upusual interest. TIIE LOAVES AND FLSIIE-S. I It is not surprising that already there are several gentlemen who have j expressed a willingness to serve the I State under the new administration. The Speakership of the Ilonse is generally conceded to Col. J. L. M. Irbv. the Chairman of the Democratic State Committee, and a Representative lrom Laurens. Just now it looks as if lie will be elected without opposition. The Speakership is important chieily in the fact that from that source come the appointments of the committees and the committees do a great deal in shaping legislation. Co!, irby's policy will be watched with much interest. The Clerkship of the House is a choice place. Col. John L. Sloan, Sr.. I who has tilled it since 1STG, is a candi date for re-election. (Jen. .j. waiter Gray, of Greenville, an ardent supporter of Capt. Tillman, lias been making an active canvass for the position, while the candidacy of Mr. W. M. Kodgers, of Greenville County, is just announced. For Heading Clerk, hut one aspirant is thus far mentioned? Mr. D. 1J. reurifov of Edgefield. The incumbent Sergeant-At-Arms, Mr. John I), lirowne, will, it now seems, be re-elected without opposition. The Clerkship of the.Senate issought by the present incumbent Col. Gaillard of Fairlield, and by l)r. Samuel l'ope of Newberry. Dr. Pone lias been very prominent in the Farmers' Movement, and is a great admirer of Capt. Tillman. Present indications point strongly to his election. There is as yet no avowed opponent to Col. Goodwyn the Heading Clerk. For SergeantAt-Anns, Capt. A. M. liut-h of Hampton is prominently mentioned. UNITED STATIC M'..\a i in.. The term ol' .Senator Hampton expires on the 4th March. Under ordinary circumstances there wouid lie little opposition to his re-election. There are thosi^ Jjoweyer, who now believe rS'teJ" ufs case fs (ToinWrtU=ij^eed. that his retirement is by no means^yjiong the improbabilities. He will lufVtr ! strong advocates in both branches, arid ' these will make a hard light lor him. t The gentlemen thus far mentioned as | likely to enter the race against him ! are, Captain Tillman, Col. Keitt of Newberry, Mr. JJenet of Abbeville, and Col. Robert Aldrich of J Jam well. The - -A. 4. ? - - i ' omy impcrutu;, hu?lwu jugsram. this contemplated contest is that arising out of Captain Tillman's possible candidacy. A race between him and Senator Hampton might prove inter> esting?though Capt. Tillman's friends claim that the new legislature is so fully in sympathy with him a? to insure him the Senators!)ip on the asking only. The Governor elect has made no sign as to his wishes or purposes in the matter. It is highly improble that any of the other alleged aspirants can make much of a light against General Hampton. OTl I Eli OFFICES. The incoming Legislature must elect a successor to Associate Justice McGowati of the Suprem" Court, and to Judge Norton of the Seventh Circuit. Notwithstanding some little talk about a change in both these places, it may be considered practically certain that each of the incumbents will be reelected. The death of Ex-Governor Bonharn left a vacancy.in the Railroad Commission. The only name thus far seriously mentioned in connection with the successor is that of the Rev. J. A. sligh, formerly Senator from Newberry, and an active supporter of the Farmers' Movement from its very inauguration. It is by no means im ? * : 11 .... probable that tne Legislature win reorganize the Commission, both as to its powers and its ]>crsonncl. There i i a strong feeling all over the State that the present Commission is unnecessary, and that its legitimate work may be effectively done by a single oilicer. If the Legislature, take tlii ? view thero will be but one Commissioner to elect; while should the bureau be reorganized without any reduction, there will be tlircn rvl-t/^oc nnpn For Superintendent of the Penitentiary, the most prominent candidate is Kx-Senator W. J. Talbert of Edgefield, while Mr. X. W. Hrookcr, of the same county, and Mr. 31. J. Sarratt, of Union, are said also to be in the field. The two latter are members of the Hoard of Directors of the institution. It is not yet announced whether the present incumbent. Col. Tlios. J. Lipscomb, will stand i'or re-election. JJKil r.LATIOX.

The row was started when the Intendant and a picked squad ended a festival, which was given uuder the auspices ot a negro church. When the fair was broken up the negroes moved their unsold floods into a negro's store, and it was here that the war began. The negroes began cursing and became so boisterous that Intendant Scarborough detailed Messrs. Sam Gilmore and Hugh Carnes to arrest the ringleaders. The moment Hie above namea genuemen sot ia irom i of tlic tie^ro store a pistol was drawn by a negro. As quick as a flash the two I young men, who were acting as policemen. fired at the negroes who were at this time congregating in the negro store. About twenty-Jive shots were fired, 17 by the whites and 6 by the negroes, i None of the whites who were near the i store were hurt, but six or seven negroes were shot, but not badly. The leader of the negroes, however, John Itambert. was shot twice in the thigh and in the upper part of the right arm. The j latter ball ranged upwards and lodged j somewhere in his body. lie is consid-' cred dangerously wounded. One of the balls of 38-calibre struck ;iu inoll'cnsive negro woman, almost cutting her throat, entering on the left windpipe, completely severing the tongue, and passing out On the right side ot the neck. Several other negroes were shot, but the excitement is even now too great to inquire as to their extent. After the melee the negroes had the town completely under control. They cursed, swore and made the most vlo lent 01 mreais. ine wants cuiietixu in about twenty yards from the negroes, with fully live hundred rounds of ammunition. There were fully live hundred negroes present. It was the desire of some parties to advance and either conciliate the negroes o: cause them to disperse. Wiser heads, however, thought it best to remain quiet, and, should the ' negroes act on the aggressive, to turn loose on them. Very fortunately the ; negioes were not armed, or there would have been a serious difficulty, and no down some good mau woum nave ueei lost. I The negroes disappeared very suddenj ly at 12 o'clock, and the whites at this juncture were informed by spies that j they had gone home for their arms. J The whites, apprehensive of danger, sat j up all night aud patrolled the town un| til sunrise. Pickets were stationed on i the outskirts and we were fully prepared to meet them. Later this afternoon, Sunday, the negroes have come to town armed to a j man and swear vengeance. The appear aucc ul is iuikcu ^luuiuy.

The Church of the Beloved Disciple, on Eighty-ninth street, Xew York, was well filled Sunday morning with people who wanted to hear the Rev. Dr. S. Gregory Lines's discourse upon the unnecessary burdens borne by the people of to-day. Ilis text was Xo. 10, vii: *Ye take loo much upon you." 'To mention all of the unnecessary burdens which human beings shoulder and stagger under all through life," he said, "is impossible within the limits of :i single sermon. So all I shall do will be to make a few suggestions to show that you arc taking too much upon yourselves "The greatest burden under which the public is staggering to day is too much work. That work is one of God's requirements for every human being and one of the necessities of our nature no one who has any knowledge of the Bible and of human nature can den}'. It is no*, however, of this necessary labor thai I am speaking, but of the many other thing < which we count essential to be done, yet which might after all be left undone with profit lo ourselves and felow men. Dr. Lines then took up worry and characterized it as a burden heavier, is unnccessrrv. than any labor ever devised. "It is not so much the actual work in hand." he said, "that makes the life of men and women miserable, but it is fretting about yesterday and worrying about to-morrow that bows their shoulders and wrinkles up their faces. Work without bitter memories, present anxieties or forebodings ot future trouble only stimulates both mind and body to the r-niiivmpnt of the* activitv which it de mands." lie concluded his sermon by referring to doubles another unnecessary burden which could be easily removed by recourse to the church, and exhorted all Christians to place their faith in Christ. a-then many of the unnecessary burdens would become light.

The victim's head before the operation presented exactly tire same appearance, from the eyebrows over to the nape of the neck."as that of a skeleton. The skull was entirely bare, except in places where small p'ortions of the muscle and tissue adhered. A piece of skin 8 inches long by ?}? inches wide and of an oval shape was cut from the right sid<; of Emma's body, leaving the upper end attached near the breast.
