Oil the Fourth page of this issue will be found the platform!, of the proposed Third Party. It reads well and we cannot see serious ob jactions 'to it, except t:> the Third Party movement. "We must have reform in many ways, but we cannot see why it cannot be accomplished inside of the Democratic party. In this State we think our only salvation lies in the Democratic party. . We are now upon one of the greatest, political revolutions, that this country has ever witnessed and our people should think well before they jump at any suggestion to leave the Dem ocratic party. Our advice is "go slow." The question of the forming of the new county of Calhoun out of Sandy Bun, Bull Swamp and a part of Congeree is now being agitated by the citizens of the proposed territory. Friend Bast, in an article on our 1st page, has thrown out the proper idea . and best course {p pursue in th^ f matter, that is, to hold meetings in^ the territory at suitable places tod 1 'v i there discuss the propriety of such a scheme. We will regret to lose toy part of our county at any time, as it certainly will burden u s with increased taxation; yetsfe believe that in time, the area of Lexington will be curtailed by the formation of other * counties. The necessity for smaller $6untxes is growing in public favor, .JjggHl-.is a matter upon which our * pSfple should be well informed be* fore the make a move for any change. ^ A Letter from Festus.

The Alliancemen were his pall-bearers and at the grave his splendid coffin was consigned to the earth with the solemn burial ceremonies of his brethren. Thus has passed away k another old-time gentleman, at the close of along life of industry and high moral worth, a man over whose grave no one could recall an unkind, dishonest act, or number an enemy o? the good old man. His memory will live after him. "There is no death ! An angel form Walks o'er the earth with silent tread: He bears our best loved ones away; And tften we call them dead." O'Brien's school at Oakey Springs Academy has just closed its session during which its register. shows a steady increase in attendance from less than twenty to nearly forty pupils. He has the pleasure of holding from a majority of the trustees and all of his patrons a testimonial of his faithful management of the school during which they certify that: "He has given entire satisfaction to hi3 patrons and, fully sustained his high reputation as a teacher."5 We hear of some complaint about the. rather rigid examination presented to our teachers, but, if the questions were long and difficult, our County Board of Examiners is not to blame for they didn't prepare _??y the queries. I doubt whether many V ^ counties have school boards equal in V point of experience and scholarly at " ; tainments to Messrs. Wingard, Steves and Brodie. The Dispatch with Talmage's serinpns, its' Educational column so ably conducted by Prof. Brodie, its Alliance department under those sterling, pithy farmer-writers, Capt. Lyles and Mr. P. I. Bawl, and its good Temperance column so faithfully managed by "E. S. W." should find a place in every household.

" Mrs. Van Buren Hutto and Jber daughter, Mrs. Ben Neese, have been nnita sick for some time but are now / convalescent. Dr. GOvan "Williams enjoys a lucrative and extensive practice, and is well worthy of it. We listened on the 4th Sunday in | May to an eloquent" and practical sermon by the Rev. J. C. Abney of this Methodist circuit. He is making a very acceptable preacherto this circuit, and his recent marriage to the charming daughter of Mr. 'TJriah Jefcoff^ Miss^jfSephine, seems to have enthused him with greater powers. I lately met Mr. Elvin A. Laird, now preparing for the Baptist ministry and knowing him as an old school mate, look to the gladsome future to find him a shining light in the church. Prof. O'Brien's school at Oakey Springs Academy, we are told by many patrons, has been a success to that teacher who has done so much for this section in an educational line. Otttth. May 28, 1891.

TALBEBT ENDORSED BY BIGHTWELL. * At a regular meeting of Bightwell Alliance, Na. 683, held May 16, 1891, the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted: Whereas certain newspapers in this State have unjustly provoked and offended our Honorable Brother, W. J. Talbert, and whereas, it was done not only to offend our Brother, but also to damage our good and noble order, therefore, be it Kesolved, 1st, That we hereby endorse and approve the gallant and fearless fight that our State Lecturer' has been and is now making in defense) of the Alliance, and commend him for the noble and manly stand he has taken against these attacks. 2d, That we denounce and condemn those papers and editors for such attacks upon our order. 3d, That we will not support any man or paper who make, or endeavor * 1-3 11.J to matte, any unprovoked or uucoueu for attacks upon the Alliance or brother of the Alliance. 4th, That we urge that every SubAlliance in the State co operate and pass resolutions in sustaining Bro. Talbert in his fight, who has and is doning a grand and noble work in the order. 5th, That a copy of these preambles and resolutions be sent to the Cotton Plant, Lexington Dispatch and the Press and Reporter for publication. y D.

Mr. Rocker, "The Royal Tiger," "Is not fighting the Alliance, so he writes in the opening paragraph of his last effort; but in the second he says the Alliance is responsible for the low price of cotton and high price of corn. He evidently puts faith in Alliance statistics, which I am glad to note. Well, now, in our declaration of principles, equal rights (and equal privileges) to all, and special favors to none is inculcated, and don't blame and so Va?& #oi? fka . M MIL II ~ 1" ' ~T UU UV?il VUV ftUWVCUU when you make the assertion, without proof, that the Alliance is responsible for 'hundreds of small merchants not having anything/ If you would study the cause why the millionaires are growing richer and the poor are growing poorer, you could find abundant proof, to put it mild, that you are mistaken. Let me here suggest that there is a vast difference between mere assertions and cold, naked facts. Proof of the as-, sertion that you are grinding by the dozen wfeek after week, in your unrelenting efforts to crush the life out of the Alliance, your last and only , hope for retaining in the future the little spark of liberty you have left, is what we emphatically demand. It seems that you are laboring under the delusion that you are a friend to "dear" clodhopper, but every letter you publish is more and more con vincingto every unbiased, thinking farmer that other than pure philanthropic motives actuate you in your self-imposed, herculean task of wiping from the face of the earth (that abominable order in your estimation) the Farmers' Alliance. Are you so near sighted that vou cannot see that it is a pressing necessity for workingmen to bay what necessity compels them to have at the lowest figure obtainable, and any foo} knows that they can only accomplish that by co-operation. Remember the advice given a few years ago by a about your size, "Farmers, stick together," and since they have taken that advice an stuck, Holy Moses and the prophets, what vials of wrath you do pour out on our devoted heads, because the small merchant cannot thrive by reason of the circulating medium beinc eontraetAd in an alarming and dangerously small compass. You well know the prejudices that the floorer class of our people posses, and you are perserveringly working along that line. Some week kneed farmers will, as you know, believe what you say about the Alliance being the cause, of the low price of cotton and high price of corn. Would not the high price of corn be a very good thing for corn farmers, and the low price of cotton be a "good end" to the ragged millions of the world's poor if monopolists, trusts, -national banks, money kings, etc., were compelled, under pain of a life sentence n the penitentiary, to deal justly or ieep their greedy handB entirely off )? our products, and our boasted ree government was compelled to ssue and keep sufficient money in k I - / v 4 M circulation to do the business of the people on a cash basis, and let prices regulate themselves as butter and eggs do in our own '"city by the i branch.1' In order for you to make a bettor fight and have an idea of~~the principles you have ruthlessly, tackled, I would advise you t<5 inform yourself. Please read "The GretWDragon," "Briee's Financial Catechism,'' "Money Monopoly," -Whither Are We Drifting," 4;I>vaki*gt^B6?kw^rd,'' "Fate of a ^ooL," History cf Wheel and Alliance,'' etc. After carefully perusing some or all Zrrfjbem and you are not convinced that you are "nulling at the wrong cord," then you may be put down as a hard case. Do please, inform yourself-jefore "you further go," as the quicksands cn which you are trying to build are treacherous in the extreme;; stick a pin right here. * * * , Addenda?At the April meeting of the Lexington County Alliance, two editors were elected to look after the interest of the order in the Dispatch, and what space the editor-kindly allows us will have to be devoted in the future in reply to your flings at our order and the action of her members.

The State Board of Pensious will meet some time during the present week to revise the pension rolls prepared by the various County boards and make arrangements for the payment of the first installment of pensions on the 5th instant. The Act does not specify any particular time for the second payment fo be made. The money to pay the full amount is on hand, and as it is but a small pittance at best and the disabled and destitute soldiers and the destitute widows of Confederate soldiers who are to receive it will be greatly benefited if the second payment follows immediately upon the first, it is to be hoped that the board will see fit to take some such action. As soon as the rolls are ready and the warrants made out they will be sent, as heretofore to the clerks of the courts of the several Counties for distribution to the parties who are entitled to them. " ' 4 ' ' Naphville American, Farmers South and West. We wonder if the Alliance leaders . ever stop to think about, and discuss the cross purposes to which they are striving. For instance, Kansas, Illinois, Iowa and others Western farmers are contending for an adjustment of trade so that they can get a bigger price for their cornr wheat, pork beef, etc., which they have to sell tc consumers in the States that do nol produce them. On the other hand. Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Mississip pi and other Southern States thai raise cotton, potatoes, watermelons, etc., are contending for such an ad justment of trade as will enable their to realize aberi^tpwecTfo^their pro same time enabl* "Them to buy Western pork, corn. wheat, beef And the like for less * * money than they now pay, Th< Mississippi, Alabama and other State* South want. Tennessee mules for lest money, while the Tennessee- -ffirmei is bent on gettifig more money foi his 'mules than he is now getting from these. cotton raisers. Floridf ' " wfints better prices for her oranges .and Tennessee is bound to have a1 least a couple of dollars more pei barrel for potatoes that go to Florida The Tennessee, Alabama and Geor gia farmer, pay too high for their fiek seeds while the North, which sup plies them, kicks against the price o strawberries and tomatoes. And s< this gam&of cross purposes goes oi and on, and the Polks, Macumes an< other office-seeking leaders hav< never made suggestion as to ho"v these farmers in different sections o the country are to impoye their re spective conditions. \ / \ j f Sigid Examination o^Tea^ers. !nBe teachers, and the groun^^WH .plaint is clearly shown by the_foc that of thirty-seven white and colore* applicants in this county who war present at the recent examination i1 the court house, only two wen awarded certificates, and they re ceived second grade certificates.
