Business Meeting of Alliancomen.
The committee appointed by
the county alliance to make arrangements
for a meeting of nllianeemcn
met last "atunlay .and
decided that we should begin the j
work of reorgan..;!ag the Sub-Al- j
i liances as soon possible, and fixed (
i August 7th as the day on which J
i we a? e to have a business meeting
at Lancaster Court House, >n
we are very anxious that ever
allianceman in the county shall
bo in that meeting. Wo mean
' every man who has ever been a
member of the alliance. We said
thin is to be a business meeting
and we mean it, for it is absolute
ly necessary that we get the farmers
organized at once. The VirginiaCarolina
Chemical Co. already
practically controls the fertilizer
trade and under present circumstances
can make the farmers pay
whatever prices they may fix.
Now wo expect some of our
farmers-allianccmen to say that
we can't do anythi ng, that we
can't organize, that the farmers
will not stick together, that the
alliance is done and a lot of stuff
that would be discouraging if we
a , . . .
elui not know better, but we Know
there are men all over the county
" that know what the alliance has
1 done in the past and what can bo
I done again. We whipped the
^ jute trust and tie trust and we
j can whip the fertilizer trust if we
will just get together. Brethren,
we need you at that meeting on
August 7th, at 10 o'clock, Bro.
e J. C. Wilburu President of
y
~ the National alliance, will be
t
with us and will make it interesting.
lie is a good speaker, and
others will probably speak. We
must fight the fertilizer trust and
August 7th is when we expect to
perfect our plans and go to work.

farmers who are not members
now to join us and help make the

Brave Miss Rhodes. |
Drovrt Awav a Negro Intruder at
Hei Home. Sh ?wed Remarkable
Grit.
M i>s Anna Rhodes, who lives
with her mother on li.itier avenue,
was badly frightened Wednesday
night hy the appearance of a negro
at a window of the room which
she oncnnipa
, -Mrs. Rhodes and her daughter, |
Mies Anna, who are dressmakers, {
live in the house alone. The
building is located near the street, 1
hut is separated from it bv a small
fence a few feet nwav from the 1
house
I
As was her custom, Vliss Rhodes
was sitting near the front window
of her room, which faces the street, 1
Wednesday night about 10:30 !
o'clock engaged in sewing. A |
lamp that was sitting near her
machine threw light directly on
the fence.
To her great surprise something
hit Miss Rhodes on the shoulder, i
She at Hist, thought it was a can- ;
dlefly but when the touch was re- '
peated she began to make an investigation.
It was afterwards
learned that little rocks had been
thrown in the window. About !
lhut tune she beard a knock on !
the window sill and saw a big,
* ? - *
mud, uiutK negro Manning HI I tie
window staring her in the face. j
The sight of the negro seemed
to give her courage and instead
of getting rattled she very coolly
turned and walked toward* the
door at the same time taking a:
flower ruse from the mantle.
Miss Rhodes went, to the door
that opens to the front and asked
the negro what he was doing in
her yard. The negro did not
answer. Miss Rhodes then drew
back aud with considerable force
hurled the flower vase at the negro,
striking him full in the face.
The negro jumped the fence and
fled. Not until after she had
struck the negro did Miss Rhodes'
courage fail her. Her serves
wers overstrained and she began
crying. This attracted the neighbors
and severa' came to her, but
the negro had escaped ?Green-*

Railroad Robbers Roasted.

'trenton. .July 18. ? Robberies
from the depot end freight cars
at Trenton have been going on for
some time to the loss and annoyance
of th*- railroad company and
merchants here.
Some days ago T. D. Mitchel,
a detective for the Southern railway,
came here. That he has done
effective work has been demonstrated
.
As a result Marion Dorn and
Daniel Williams, colored, were
arrested, given a preliminary and
sent to jail to await trial.
Thre^ negro storekeepers i
thecoonty were also arrested and
committed for receiving atolen
goods They admitted having purI'lmwHll

knowing them to have been stolen.
Town Marshal Wallace Wise ably
assisted the detective in this
work.
The men were caught with
stolen goods in their possession,
but it was difficult to get a starting
point to work up the ca>e.
Thief was, however, finally furnished,
says Detective Mitchel, by
the tag on a plug of tobacco. This
little yellow piece of tin bears the
inscription: "Second battle W.
J. Bryan, 1900." It was a brand
not handled in Trenton but had
been consigned to an Edgefield
merchant, but never reached him.
An entire block of buildings in
Valdosta, Ga., was burned Friday.

,'Several times," he said, "I
nave been among DeWet's pursuers,
when, just as we thought
wo had him, ? halt was ordered,
permitting his escape.
"Boers may surrender, hut the
