County ? AUiaae* was in session; thar* h* ad. M Iraaaad th* moating on matters of special y/ interest to th* Alliance. About 112 o'clock the County Alliance marshal ia a body to tba Academy Qrova, where \y a platform had boen erected and seats ar- w ranged for the comfort of the audience, Ql which was estimated at from fifteen hundred A to two thousand. H The meeting was called to order by County p( Lecturer, Rev. hi. B. Kelly, who requested j? Rtv. 8. A. Weber to lead the assembly in prayer; after which the County Leoturer, 8| in a few appropriate remarks, introduced tk* a, . .. ? ??uvv. t( Mr. Terrel was greeted with applause, ?( M he advanced to the front of the platform, t, end began in a plain and practical manner 0( to set forth the objects and aims of the The Farmer's Alliance. ffncY, aVAwing a oomparTson or ine laTm- b ers of to-day with that of twenty-fire years \ ago, and setting forth the fact that the money o powers control the price of cotton. In most t emphatic terms he denied the charge that the Alliance was opposed to any parti- ii cular Yocation, as charged by some, and h paid a beautiful tribute to strict attention to business of all kinds, lie pronounoed 1 the Jute Trust a robbery, and called upon g all classes of business men to help the Alliance crush it out. p He arraigned the newspapers for publishing c false reports to aid those forming the Trusts, F and called upon all newspapers to assist in b crushing out all iniquitous trusts and combinations, showing that by the opposi- o tion of the Alliance to Jute Bagging how the a price would be reduced this year. c lie impressed the members of the Alliwith id** that tha aueeeea of their 6 organization depended upon the integrity of its members. Urging the members of the t organization to be united in all things, so I that they may be able to so control their own matters, and be independent. a lie advised industry and economy so that t they may get ahead and control the selling of their products, which would increase the r price of cotton, and, as a consequence, raise t the price of honest labor. He dwelt at length upon education and t home comforts, and gave a brief synopsis of t the working of the proposed State Exchange. His remarks to the colored farmers were I excellent ; ndvising them to be industrious, i honest, moral and economical, and try to be more enlightened and to obey the laws of b the State. J After Mr. Terrell's address the audience were invited to partnke of a sumptuous s Farmers basket dinner, tlint hud been pre- a pared on the grounds, and to which all I it n'ouhl Tie* ii*?possible for us to do full f justice to Mr. Terrell's masterly address, in the limited time and space at our command. On some points we did not fully agree with fi him : but believing the Alliance organization capable of doing immencc good to nil r classes, and not being of the inner temple, we linvc no means of judging of its inherent v methods or its power to perform the great revolution it proposes to accomplish. We can S only express faith in its being competent to D work out glorious results. E Improvements. T The Little Green Front Store, occupied by Mr. .1.

Ho made tho nlmo end objects of the organisation both plain and satisfactory. He said the Alliance was not, as some supposed, organised to tght everybody bat trdsto, monopolies, rings, Cliques, fro. Merchants, Doctors, Bankers, fro* had their organisations, and thoy should not object to farmers doing so, aad that thoy weald, ia tho Allien do, ask "speoial privileges'' of aoao, bat "oqaal rights to all; opootol privileges u none/' la their mouo. mat the llliMN intend to htvi Ita own ertbugw, not to fight others, bat that the farmers are not able to feed them any tonger. One little farmer is like the goat on the born of the ox, he will not be felt, bat when ail of them get together they ean eat all the monopolists op. lie said a man, who to-day bays jute bagging is bartering his principle for money. Those men who will not join now, bat wait ontil they see whether it suooeeds, reminds him of the yonng man who married a brave Western girl, and when a bear cams into the bouse, the man got into the loft, and stayed until his wife killed the beast; he then oame down, pat his arms around her, and waltslng around the room said, . Soma dai j?st~ wUL "ain't we horses," but their ears are too long for horses' If we don't kill the bear the first tussle, we may the scoond. Seme object to it's being a secret order, bat that is the strength of it; for if not for secrets our enemies would know* what we were doing. His speech was just splendid and full of wise oounsel. At the close of his speech the committee to arrange the table announced that a luncheon was prepared for brother Tolbert, who was compelled to hurry off in order to take the up train. After a recess of an hour or more, the audience was addressed by Dr. J. P. Thomas, who set forth plainly the oause of the poverty of the Southern people, and especially the farmers. He also gave a remedy and said that he, and everyone else who made an Allianoe speeoh must follow in the line of Mr. Tolbert. As re! fards the dinner, it was the best arranged most ever saw. We of Santuo Allianoe feit very muoh at ease, for we were striotly the gueeis of Fish Dam Allianoe, by speeial invitation, extended, and most highly appreciated by us.

Mr. Editor.?It baa been some tlmo since eur last to you, and among other thinga our thoughts to-day are on our weloome weekly visitor, the Timbs. We are having fine weather for fodder palling, and farmers generally are making good use of it. Corn is not as good as wss thought it would be, on ao count of the heavy rains. Cottoa, if favored with good seasons, will make in noma Instmnnea, s good orop, but in some places only half a crop. If no further disasters befall us we think there is a very good prospect for a support. We hear farmers talking of sowing more grain. This is a grand move toward inde_ pen dan? and home comforts on Ihs farm. "Hog and luMaiaj" U aku > ?f?wry. Creaa Keys and 8edalia Alllanoes had a I (ionic at Padgett's Creek, Friday, 80ih nst. C. B.

Meson, Esq., of Covin's Allianoe, Spartanburg, who entertained the audience very pleasantly for 20 minutes, and until dinner was announoed. when all marched to a large and well furnished table and did ample Justice to the bountiful spread of good thinge. There wa= some disappointment, aa only one invited speaker was present, the Hon. Q. B. Fowler, who spoke for half an hour, very enthusiastically. The order of our Ceunty Commissioners for better roads has caused a considerable stir- This is one good step those level headed gentlemen have tnkan roads are very much needed in tnis County, especially from Tyger river to Union C. H. Mr. Editor, we are expecting something new in these diggings soon. Buggies repainted, eld ones swapped for new ones. Traveling at night is nothing new, but dan. gerous to eyes blinded by* capid's arrows, and falling into gullies is not uneommon. So, if girls do return home with "whole (?) heart" we shall not be surprised if they become beads of interesting families and become cash subscribers to the Tinbs, for we think is ttye duty of every person to p?tron:xe home industry.
