He Delighted the Audience Who Went Wild Over the Faithful Champion of the Common People. Newberry Voice of the People. [We take the follow account of the Alliance Rally, which was recently held at Little Mountain, from the Voice, which deserves great credit for its enterprise in reporting the meeting. It is estimated that there were from 1,500 to 2,000 persons present at the' meeting:] . Brother AlliancemeD, ladies and fellow-citizens: About one year ago the Alliances of this part of Newberry and of Lexington counties made an koro SanoW Tillman make CILUi t l/U ua i u ??yvuuvv? ? a speech here. We are 15 or 16 miles from Newberry, further from Lexington and quite a distance from Columbia. A great many of the citizens of this community have not attended a political meeting, and a considerable number of the ladies and gentlemen here have not heard or met Senator Tillman. Consequently he was invited here, so that you could ? see him snd hear him speak. An appointment was made for the 5th of August, but the .Newberry College reunion took place here on the 4th and we felt that it would not do for til ther meeting to follow the next day after that, for we would all have - , been too tired to erijoy it. But Senator Tillman is here today, and you will get a chance to hear him speak. There he is sitting over theTe. We have other speakers. ^ HON. J- R BLAKE, of Abbeville, is with us. He has come a long distance to be here. He is Vice President of the State Alliance * add State Lecturer. He will dow address you: GentlcmeD, ladies, fellow-Alliance* men and fellow citizens: About one year ago it was my privilege to address Newberry aDd Lexington Alliancemen. I am glad to meet you again. It i9 always a pleasure to *- meet you. I am glad you people of Newberry and Lexington bold your annual gatherings at Little Mountain. Isolated as you are it gives you an opportunity to come together, we of the lural districts too seldom have the pleasure of indulging in social gatherings. I am glad on the other hand that your meeting is held UDder the auspices of the Farmers' Alliance. I don't think it is necessary to talk to Newberry and Lexington AlliancemeD, where the Alliance spirit has been so stroDg, about the grand work accomplished by our order in the past. You know what we accomplished by our united fight % against the jute and tie trusts. Many million dollars were saved the farmers. The farmers stood together as one man in the fight. In the t great battle with the lie trust about $5,000,000 were saved. I might I talk about the State Exchange and what it has done. Had it not been for the State Exchange, we would have been as helpless as babes in their mother's arms to meet the combinations that were against us. The time has come when th9 principles of ^ our order appeal to every man. The present time is fraught with momentus issues. Great social and industrious revolutions conf.ont us today. They should be fought under the banner of "equal rights to ail special privileges to none." History is ever repeating itself. There is a mighty stir of business in the cities and towns, yet agricultural interests are languishing and dying. "We hear of hard times ariiong the farmers; especially the cotton producers. The more cotton we make, the poorer we get. A strange condition exists. It reminds me of an aLcedote I heard . about a farmer and his son who went 1 to town with a load of apples. The 1 father left the wagon for a short while, and before going off said to vthe boy: Son, if an} body talks to you while I am gone, keep your I mouth shut, for if you open it they will find out what a fool you are. The father had hardly gotton out of sight before a merchant came out of [store, went to the wagon and asked the boy what was the pi ice of his apples. No answer. He asked him again. Still no answer. The merchant getting aDgry, said as he turned on bis heel to return to his store. Keep your mouth shut then ^ you blame little .fool, I don't cart \ whether I buy any of your apples ot not. About the time the meicbaui ^ entered his i-tore the boy's father ro turned, and tue little fellow excbedb exclaimed: Pap, I didn't open ur h moutb, but he found out I was a foo anyway. If we make alargeqnantit; r of cotton we keep poor, and if we fai^ to make a large crop we remain poor. Some say our trouble is overproduction of cotton. If the depression in agricultural iuterests was confined to the South. I would think that answer was correct. But the West, wheat and corn growing countries, a'so complain of hard times. We are tjld to diversify our crops. What is the use when combines are formed to depress the price. The farmers must combine and get others to join with them in fighting the Trusts, which are the ruination of our country. Our farmers are turning their attention to tobacco, and already we ^ mi TT7 J beirot ToDacco lrusis. ?e Detu markets for what we raise. Our towns must come to the aid of farmers. Ltt producers and consumers come together. Let factories be established in our towns and cities, the farmers furnishing the raw material and the towns and cities doing the manufacturing. We need a stiict anti-Trust law. A law that will invalidate claims of Trusts, and make it a crime to form a Trust. The speaker closed his address by eloquently appealing to the farmers to come together and re-organize their Alliances; that such organization stood as a bulwark between them and those who would oppress them. CONGRESSMAN LATIMER was the mxt speaker introduced. The chairman said: 1 now have the honor of introducing to the audience one whom many of you know. About five or six years ago a man comparatively unknown, one who loved you and came from the farm, appeared as a candidate and ran a successful race. Mr. Latimer is not a man of promises. He is a man of deeds. The Third Congressional District of South Carolina never sent to the United States Congress a better and more intelligent worker than A. C. Latimer. Look at his record. See what great things he has accomplished. Think of his successful fight for Newberry College. For the rural population in establishing Kural Mail Delivery and many postcffices and other advantages. Think of all these things. See the results cf his efforts. When have we ever had a man to do so much. He is not only willing, but has the peculiar talent of knowing how to work. Congressman Latimer will now address ycu. Mr. Chairman, ladies and fellowcitizens: I hardly know what line of thought to take this off year in poliitics. In a short while you will have Senator Tillman to address you. I have been a member of the Alliance ever since it was first organized. I am a plain farmer, and never held office until you sent me to Congress. I believe in the Alliance organization. It has done great good. We passed the income tax in the House of Representatives. It was an Alliance demand. There never -was a more just law. Under the present arrangement the rich escape taxation to a great extent, causing the burden of taxation to be unequally distributed. The income tax was intended to tax the income of the rich. A Supreme Court in the interest of capital de cided the income tax unconstitutional. An anti option bill, intended to stop gambling with your cotton crop, also passed the House. The Senate did not pass it. The Senate is made up principally of lawyers. A great many of them are in the pay of rich corporations. Unfortunately there are few men there like our Senior Senator. I believe that he is the j only farmer in the United States j Senate. The great agricultural in | terests in this country represented by one single man. Yet the fanners are picking out men who can mak* | fine speeches, and sending them tc j the United States Senate. And t j per cent, of such men are selling out | You need something else there be | sides fine speakers. Look at oui i j war with the Filipinos. What neei ! ! xvflc thprp for that war? AYe are tolc i i that God and destiny are on the sid< j of the Republican party in this war > | For what? Are not those peoph j i fighting for their liberty as our fore , | fathers fought here.

We freed thos people. We should have stopped j there. But the greed of the Administration caused it to go back on the j . principles of our forefathers, and it j started out to conquer. We are told j that commerce must be extended; j ' that we produce more than we can ! consume. Such excuse will not do. j j? j The trade of the islands the United j States are endeavoring to conquer | only amounts to ?20,000,000, which * I must be divided with other nations.

Put sheep and goats in there, too Let us try to get out of old ruts. As Mr. Siigh has told you, I didn't make any promises, but I have done everything in my power for you. I con sider the rural delivery you are now receiving second ODly to your school in spreading information. I obtained ten rural deliveries for my district, while the rule has been to allow on}y two to a district. In the large cities j mail is delivered at the doors of the people ten or more times each day. A ? L |U . in 4 U n vi.vn i r Art X leu ILiai iLitr jjeuyie iu tijo imai ecu tioDS were entitled to have their mail delivered to them at least once*a day. And that is why I did my best to give farmers the rural delivery. I have lived on the farm away from a post office, and I know what it is -to be for days without getting mail, cut off from the outside world and not knowing what is goiDg on. You | picked out a man and sent him to Congress who knows how to sympa thize with you. It is my purpose to have the mail delivered to all our farmers. The rural delivery has not reached every section of the country, i It had to have a starting point, and j in order to give it a good start off | and make it as great a success as j possible, the thickly settled commu J nities were selected as starting points. I But I intend to work hard for the es| tablishment of the rural mail deliv' ery throughout the country. You j are entitled to it and ought to have i have it. You should net be denied I : the advantages the Government gives. : I want the mail to go to every house J in the country. The speaker de- j nounced governmental subsidies,rep- I j robate monopolies and tiusts, and j urged upon the farmers the import- | ance cf keeping organized to protect j their interests. At the conclusion of Congressman i i Latimer's speech there was an inter- j i mission of something over an hour ^ for dinner. After dinner Chairman j Sligh again called the meeting to or- | j dor, and said: A man all of you have ; heard of and many of you have seen | and love; a man who started Lis polit- j ical career in 18SG, I think, or near e i . ! j that time1, as achampionof the lights j I of tue common people, will make a ' speech before you.

Manning Brown, of this City, [ Whose Husband Seived in the ! Mexican War, Received it?Work j of Rev. Dr. Clifton and Congress- I i i man Stokes iu Her Behalf, iunitor Hi-raM. ' About one year ago Rev. J. A ! Clifton, D. D, of this city began to i nake efTjrts to secure a pension for j ilrs. Manning Brown, widow of the ' . ate Rev. Manning Brown. The I :laim for a pension was based on the j i tervices of Iiev. Mr. Brown, in toe j Mexican War, in which struggle he i ought gallantly, n fleeting credit j tnd honor upon himself and his j j State. When Dr. Clifton was youDg ! j n the Methodist ministry Mr. Brown ! { vas his Presiding Elder, and he then i j :onceived a love and admiration for j j lim which was enduring, and which j j ncited him to efforts on behalf of Lis ; f ridow and fatherless children. I z Dr. Clifton got together all the j lata with reference to Mr. Brown's j var record, and enlisted Congress- j nan J. Wm. Stokes in the work, and j le pushed the claim before the Pen- j ion Department in Washington. It las required about a year of close ! ittention and many personal visits to j he Commissioner of Pensions on the )art of Congressman Stokes to finally jet the matter through. There is luch an enormous volume of these :laims, of one sort and another, that mless any particular one is followed ip closely it lies over indefinitely. Lhere were some troublesome points j leculiar to this particular case, how:ver. It had been turned down leveral times before, and this record vas a stumbliDg-block in the way of ts favorable consideration. A good nany affidavits and a good deal of * iew evidence had to be secured to offset these uapropitious circum- , stances. Everything in the Pension Bureau moves in a certain groove, ind there is any quantity of red tape n its administration. After several efforts to get the affidavits and testi- j nony in the exact technical form accessary had miscarried by reason )f some verbal ioaccurracy. Con- | pressman Stokes finally drew up the accessary forms to fit the requirements of the office. These were duly ^ signed in proper form, and the pen- I fion followed. Its payment involved j some eight hundred and odd dollars, | hack pay, besides the regular month- I ly stipend to Mrs. Brown during the | , remainder of her life. This happy result is most gratifying to Mrs. Brown's friends, and their number includes every one ' who knows her. The case is a most : worthy one, and great credit is due i Dr. Clifton and Congressman Stokes ; for their unremitting earnestness and j zeal in the accomplishment of the j work. This is the second largestVduim of j the kind which Congressman Stokes | has procured for his constituency.
