This 1 will certainly o, so far as it volutes to thc office f Attorney General. I nm Voady jfU);tfei? at any time and pbiee, and will strike"woTif -.html as 1 ami 'stricken. lam not a candidato ta any office." "Should tho 'Thirty-fivo Confer ence,' which is called to moot iii Co lumbia April 28, ask you to stump thc State and discuss tko issues be fore the pooplo during thc campaign, and become a candidate for Govern or, would you do so ?" Col. Earle replied : "I do not be lieve they will take any such action -that is to say, ask any one to be come a candidate, and as I have said before, 1 will not make any speeches during tho campaign unless the charges of corruption and extrava gance aro made on tho stump during the canvass.

C., April 17.-It is learned from thc officers of thc State Farmers' Alliance that there have been issued ninety-three charters to County Alliances, and two-hundred and seven Sub-Alliances, of which latter only thirty-two have been re turned. All thc counties save Allo ghany, Dare and New Haven have county organizations. Wake leads in tho number of Sub-Alliances, having fifty-seven, Chatham coining next with fifty-two, Thc gain in membership in the post year has been over 1(5,000. Tho State busi ness agency ot thc Alliance is doing an immense work. It has furnished two Sub-Alliances this season 12,0u(, tons of its special fertilizer, and its unios of other supplies, mainly provisions, average $40,000 per month. Thc State, business agent says that thc effect of the sale of special brands of fertilizers made for tuc Alliance at a special rate has re sulted in a decline of prices charged for thc brands, ami ho estimates that this season alone thc business agency has saved thc farmers over half a million dollars in the matter of fer tilizers alone. Low Prices in Kansas. A correspondent of thc Farm and Piresido writes as follows from Ne braska : Alliances have been organ ized in almost every township in our county, this winter. The fanners feel the effects of thc low grain and stock market herc, as well as else where. Corn brings 11 cents por btishol; .oats, 18 cents; wheat, from 25 to 60 cents; hogs, $!1.2f> per hun dred weight; cattle, from (ll,60 to per hundred weight. Wc ship it oar lond of corn from herc to Chi cago and get about $186 for it in Chicago. The freight is $80, so we get %i>5. It costs us three cents per bushel to get thc corn gath ered in thc fall, so we aro not get ting rich vcrv fasti Wages ure from $lf> to $20 a month for farm hands. Tho banks chargo only 2 per cent, por month for money, and it taken good collaterals to got hold of it at. that. Tho froight wnp out lately 1 i)or cont, on coi n, but it only amounted to 1$ cents por biishol. It looked Uko it was a holp; what did tho scalpers in Chicago do? Thoy dropped thv prico 2 couts por bushel. Tn^v-o uro not enough cattlo and hogs in the State to cat half of tho oom. Fully two-thirds of tho corn crop was piled on tho ground last fall, on account of lum or hoing so high. It would not pay to borrow money at 2 per cent, a month and pay $26 per thousand foot for lumber to build cribs.
