cotton bagging if it was heavy enough tj
protect the cotton.

By many, no doubt, this proposition wiHbe\

t is as praotical as the effort to revolutionise
he business methoJs of the'oountry whereby
be Farmers, like everybody else, strive to
:ontrol the snle of their own products and
tommand the highest prico for them, and
psy the lowest prices for the products of

If it is practical for the Allianoe te bnild j

practical for tha Alliance to bnild a

Some years ago, whan the eltUons bf
Bogansville were on the verge of[<avii mar,
upon the sohool question, we foeftrrdd the
displeasure of both parties in the strife, by
refusing to publish indisoreet nerspnpl .attacks
upon individuals on both sided, because
we believed they were more likely to widen,
the breach aud embitter the feelinrs than re.
tore peace and harmony among the people.
But we had supposed that those faotious ele-,
ments in Bogansville had been removed,
that peace and harmony reigned supreme,
and that our christian effort to prevent
bloodshed and oieate good will among the
oitiiens of that township was reoegftiWsdend
appreciated by those now holding the reins
to guide its publio affairs.
The Times is necessarily published at the
county seat, and its Editor feels a deep ia>
tereat in the progress and prosperity of $e
town in whioh he lives, but not more for the
town itself than because he believes thaj; an
injury to the town is also an injury to the
county, and the prosperity of the town
must, from natural oauses, contribute to tht
general prosperity of the county.
The best interests of Bogamvitle cannot be
impaired or opposed without inflicting aa
injury upon the whole oeumy ; and on thfe
other hand, neither Bogansville or any other

before the Farmers Alliance at Ujloa,
September 4,1MB.
BIFOUIO BT 0. L. STBALM.
Major Terrell spoke substantially ai follows
:
Ladies and gentlemen, and members of
the Farmers Alliance of Ualoa County: It
affords mo great pleasure le meet and speak
to seek a representative body of farmer* as
I meet hero to-day. I, too, am a farther,
advocating the interests of farmers, aad 1
feel that in you I have au audience who
will bear testimony with mo ms to the
wants of the farming olaascs. These I will
attempt to speak of and inquire into the
causes that lead to them. But in U?. first
place I will aay that the farmers can effect
nothing without organisation. Every ana
whoa* interacts ?.* identified with the farm*
log class should ssek admission int? tha
Farmers Alliance, for il is th* only or. geoitation
on oarth where the/ will bo
properly guarded and roepeeted. AU other
professions are practically arrayed against
the farmers. Merchants, lawyers, doctors,
and in faot every profession is more or loos
organised for self-protection, and wo dew'l
blame them. But we as farmers claim the
right to follow thoir example; and the
Farmer* Al'ience is the only body that bide
(air to proteet the farmers interests, and
prove a blessing to the country at large.
With the history of th* organisation yon
are familiar, and it is nnoeeooeyy to apoalt
on that point;
The credit system aad Ihsmtrotlws v'
power of motfthd tt|fS
have ground o?ith* life of the farmer, shi
made his time-honored profersion degrsding.
So much ?o, that the youths of the
land who have any ambition are locking to
other fields fur employment, and hence,
bone, sinew, and brains are driven from th*
farms, whore they or* so Wash needed.
The Alliance proposes to aptogoatee ho
o'aas or profession. He otytoe if self-protection,
nnd il only requires a *l?*dju?f she
hiatory of ihe post quarter of a ffutnop If.
eonvino* every reoooneble m*o that a no*''
oessity doe* exist for n change of front.
Twenty-five years ego the farmers owned
half of the oountry, now they own but onefourth
of it. Then wo had no mortgages,
but now at least fifty per oent. of the property
is under mortgage. As the munied
powers have been pressing herder and M|
border continually, the farmers' position
has steadily been becetaiog more nnd mure
embarrassing. Twenty-five year* age the
iarmers controlled th* efllees and fimanors
of this oonntry, nnd owned th* produote *f g
the aoil. Bow things are changed, and *
moolrd men own oil and ei?? only ? ?*t*)l
pittance, (if anything,) fa return. Thhe ~
wo see how things have boon going on ami A
on, and if the former eubmUo to this ho Is igjj
