On last Saturday a reporter for lie Charleston World interviewed fol; Joseph IL Earle, of Sumter, in aforence to his rumored candidacy jr Governor. Thc interview is rc ortod as follows : Tho World man found Col. liarle Durtcous, genial and pleasant. "Col. Earle, will you bo a cand? ate before tho coming nominating onvention for the office of Governor, nd will you stump thc State during ie campaign ?" Col. Earle responded : "I will not J ump thc State unless it bc to deny io charges of corruption and ox avaganec made against thc prosont {ministration. This I will certainly 3, so far as it relates to tho oilico ' Attorney General. I am ready 3 wii^trikon\>???^fii"l.l?lacevaiul stricken. lam not a candidate*'toi any oilico." "Should the 'Thirty-five Confer ence,' which is called to moot in Co lumb \ April 28, ask you to stump thc S into and discuss thc issues be fore thc people during th>> 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 ns I have said before, I will not make any speeches during tho campaign unless tho charges of corruption and extrava gance aro made on tho stump during tho canvass. I am ready at any time to meet all such charges, and will do so as forcibly as they arc made. And as before stated, I am not a candidate." "Colonel, should tho Stato Nomi nating Convention nominate you, would voil refuse to accept thc nomi nation ?" "I would not refuse, as a matter of course, if tho nomination were tendered mc." In speaking of tho "Thirty-five Conference," Col. Earlo said that it would be ridiculous for that body to suggest any one for office, inasmuch ns it has objected to that very fea ture of tho March Convention. RALKIGII, N. C., April 17.-It is learned from the 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 Alle gheny^ Dare and New Haven have county organizations. Wake loads in tho number of Sub-Alliances, having fifty-seven, Chatham coming next with fifty-two, Thc gain in membership in thc past year has been over 10,000. Tho State busi ness agency of the Alliance is doing an immenso work. It has furnished two Sub-Alliances this season 12,000 tons of its special fertilizer, and its sales of other supplies, mainly provisions, average $40,000 per month. Thc State business agent says that thc effect of thc sale of special brands of fertilizers made for tue Alliance at a special rate has ro sultcd in a decline of prices charged for thc brands, and ho estimates that this season alone thc business agency has saved tho farmers over half a million dollars in thc matter of fer tilizers alono. Low Prices in Kansas. A correspondent of thc v(trm and Fireside writes as follows from Ne braska : Alliances have been organ ized in almost every township in our county, this winter. Thc farmers feel thc effects of thc low grain and stock market Itet'C, as weil as else where Corn brings 11 cents poi* bushel; .oats, 18 cents; wheat, from 26 to 60 cents; hogs, $8.26 por hun dred weight; cattle, from $1.60 to $3 per hundred weight. Wc ship a car load of corn from herc to Chi cago and get about $186 for it in Chicago. Thc freight is $80, so wo got $66. It costs us three cents por bushel to get tito coin gath ered in thc fall, so wc aro not get ting rich very fast. Wages arc from $16 to $20 a month for farm hands. Tho banks charge only 2 uer cont, per month for money, and it takes good collaterals to got hold of. it at. that.. Tho freight was out lately 1 por cent, on corn? but it only amounted to 1$ conta per bushel. It looked liko it was a help; what ("id tho scalpers in Chicago do? Thoy drooped tho price 2 coots per bushel. Tnoro aro not enough cattle and hogs in tho Stato to eat half of tho corn. Fully two-thirds of tho corn orop was piled on tho Sround Inst fall, on account of lam er being so high. It would not pay to borrow monov (*t 2 per cont, a month and pay $20 pur thousand foot for lumber to build oribs.
