Towneend, offering for sal* two uluablt Faraw lying about two mile* from here, an<l known a* the Holder Farms. These farms are of more than ordinary value, in the quality of land, and each eontains about the rieht number nf ?r?? for m one or two-horse farm. The terms of sale, ns advertised, are very easy, and will give an industrious fnrmer time to make the money to pay for it out of the land. The lawful interest of 7 percent, is all that will lie charged ui?on the balance, after the first payment ; so that, everything considered. we honestly believe it is the best chance we have known for years for a poor man to buy a good farm on such time and terms as will enable him to make the annual payments without much pWvatiot), and at the same time give him a chance to improve the property. The place is perfectly healthy, and the titles arc gilt-edged. Wo have no authority for saying so, but we believe that the purchaser, or purchasers, if they are the right kind of men, would be Very leniently treated if they could not fully meet the last payment at the particular time specified. Change of Advertisements. We call the attention of our readers to the change that Messrs. Rodger & lhircell make in their advertisement this week. They have hung out their Runner oil the outward wall and defy competition, hot It in the quality and price of their goods. So give them a call. Our friend Flynn cornea to the front this week with n "Special Notice," in which lie offers at private sale his entire stock of Dry Moods. preparatory to his moving to. Columbia. lie also offers for sale his Real Kstntc. See his advertisement. Flynn says there is no mistake this time, about his leaving Union. Me has got to leave or lose the best chance of his life offered him at Columbia. Rusiness of all kiuds is nearly at a standstill in this town, and from wlinl wc liejir ni??I read, business throughout tlie Cotton States is almost in a complete stale of stagnation. And the worst feature In our condition is, the uncertainty as to when the brakes will he raised, and the wheels of business started again. At present matters iy mercantile and niechaireal businesses are undergoing such a fearful strain that it will not be surprising if some of those classes arc soon placed in very uncomfortable positions. for want of means to pay their imlcbtness and carry on their businesses, although they have accounts on their liooks against responsible parlies, more than enough to meet all demands. The present transition state of business methods, brought about by the Farmers Alliance. gives nil the industrial classes of the South a severe trial. The money upon which they depended, from the cotton crop, is in the co.ton bales, upon the farms, and there is no business doing; those out of employment mctiMind it hard?sometimes impossible?to get money to defray current expenses. That this state of affairs cannot last much longer, wc feel confident. Something or somebody must give in and open a way for relief. The irial now is .ruly hard for all classes. except capitalist*: nut. us >v? nave sum ncmrc, once beyond the t-nnsition stutc ami tho business of the country placed on n healthy. soli?l cash liasis. an era of sound business prosperity will lie innugtr-ated. stimulating old and developing new industries at the South. Holiest and spirited competition will keep prices down to a livc-nnd-lct-livc standard; money will lie brought lielow a mercenary and speculative price to a sound, legitimate value; confidence, cash mid honest business methods will go hnnd-in-hnittl, and doubtful practices in the conduction of every legitimate business will place those who resort to them, where they belong, outside the palo of lionable business circles, and honest men and methods will coutrol the business of the country. With the belief that such will be the beneficial results of the Alliance organization, if its members will cling to it ami strictly adhere to its teachings, its aims and object*, wc are willing to undergo the ordeal and suffer our share ofthe trials and privations through which we are now passing Jfery <>? the first page of our supplement will be found some interesting Alliance news concerning cotton movements in mnny oftlic markets in tlie Piedmont belt of (lie State. The farmers have nrriveil at the natural conclusion that every otlier class bail long since reuclieil, that tliey liavcthe right, when they have anything to sell, to name their price when a customer wishes to buy. That is a plain open-handed custom, fo which no one can object. If yon go into a store to buy a pair of shoes the merchant tells you the price he will take, ami if you are not willing to give that price.it is your privilege to say so. ami the merchant has 110 cause to complain. So with the farmer, if his cotton cost him eight or ten cents a pound to produce it, he has the right to name the price he will take for it, to yield him a profit, and if the buyer does not feel that he enn pay that price, lie, too, has the right to say so, and decline buying, In either case it is a strictly honorable business matter between the seller nml buyer, and it scents to us that neither party has any reason for accusing the other of dishonorable intention. Unfortunately, there are always some parties so full of prejudice ami so suspicious of other persons' actions ftlHI intentions. Ilini mey ?td ??vr icu'ijr iu suspect or accuse<itIters of wrong doing, ami cry"wolf! wolf! when there is no wolf near," Tlicy are not I lie safes, persons to follow, in any mailer requiring calm ami impartial investigation, with an honest desire to arrive at a strictly just conclusion toward all parties. . .

There ought to be a correapoudent at every roaloffior, in wrlti up the news and other matter* of interest and benrfit, which would often be of great value to tlie county. Somo. no doubt, will say. "O, p?h*w ! I am a farmer, nud 1 haven't tli i lime, an I can't send the news regular, and can't put my thoughts on pipe^ tit to bo pun'o.l, and the Editor dou'i like to be bothered," &e. 1 know, from experience, lint a Tumor cnu'tbo as regular as soma in h s correspondence, for many limes when lie is l-usy on (ho farm, things will slip by and hoc one o'd before lie cin send iliom, and then become "olds" in si en t of "nowa."

Don't be afraid that the Editor won't liko to be troubled with them, for he is never bc'ter pleased than when be is troubled in lint way. If you will do this, you would not have any reisou for saying, "Oh, there is no news in the Timits this week," but everybody would want to see what was going ou in the other townships. When I resvi?e the Timks the first thing 1 rend is the letters from the correspondents in other parts of llio county. I feel that 1 know them. nn<l am talking with then in person, nnd a kind of brotherly interevt springs up between us. It s in otir power to make the county paper useful nnd interesting to us, aud profitable t) the Editor. By that means, the paper would bo enlarged, improved and contain more news, and that of more geueral (uteres1; and, as a consequence, it 'wouhl have more readers?subscribing readers, we mean?which would ooODBkaod more ixlvertisements, which would mean more money for the proprietor, making him IIMMU MHAiuim nuu nuic iu IUIUQ 1119 pupor more valuable, adding to his pleasure and com (bit in liis old nge, and securing more patronage and profit lo the advertisers from more people reading thoir ads.

I'i'mshmkxt.?Baltimore, October 1G.?Cardinal Gibbons sees in the tardiness with wh oh justice is racted out to criminals a serious menace to good order and good government. He favors and is a believer in the efficiency of capital punishment, and is of the opinion that there ate too many loopholes thnngh which gui'ty pviavua IU'IJ puuniiiuciik IVI vi IUIOI In his ntw work, "Our Chiislian Heritage," soon lo be published, the Cardinal siys : A crying evil is the wide interval that so oflon interposes between a criminal conviction and the execution of the sentence, and the frequent defeat of juslice by the delay. Human life is indeed sncred, but (he laudable effort 10 guard it has gone beyond bounds. Of la'o years the difficulty tq odovict. la.murder trials especially, has greatly increased from the widened application of the p eas in btr?notably that of insanity. When a conviction has heon reached innumernb'e de'nys generally s ay the execution. The mnny grounds of exception allowe I to the counsel, the appeals from one c tun to another, with final application to the Governor, and the facility w th which signatures for pardon are obtaipel, have combined to throw around culprits an extravagant pr tective system, and gone far to rob jury trial of its substance and efficacy. A prompt execution of the latf's sentence after a fair trial is that which strikes terror into evil doers and sHisfies the public cmscience. The reverse of this among us hns brought reproach upon the administration of juatico and given plausible grounds for the application of lynch law." Ovtraoes es Negroes is Ohio.?"No blacks are wanted in th-s pi ice," is the explanation given by the people, of Murray City, Ohio, of their notion in setting fire last Tuesday night to the house of George Washington, a colore i man, and burning it to the ground. S*ioh conduct is to bo condemned whereu'"' r. , v social and pwTtcal equilibrium, on account of the nearly*equal numbers of ihc persons of African and Oaucas'n ul?od within iis limit*. Unreal, conflict, bloodshed and outrages of one kind an I another are the natural result of ro unfortunate a c ndbion of affairs. But in Ohio there is no such equal balance of the races. The whites predominate to such an extent in Ohio that they have no reason to fear the influence of a dissonant element. In Murray City thero was it appears hut a single o-dore 1 family. Vet this was too muob. 80 men win bare spout much of their time speechifying and voting ngainst the Si'uth en aooount of a'leged "caste prejudice" and outrages, took it into Uieir heads to drivo out the "man and brother," and did it.

There has been a great quantity of sorghum made this year. Notwithstanding the short cotton crop, I think our people are generally in better condition this full than they have been in several years. Joncsville is moving forward every day. Messrs Swink & Oetxel have opened their stock of goods and are ready to wait ou their customers with courtesy and despatch.

He entered the college with little means, and during his freshman year worked in odd hours in a barber shop. Mince then his rank as a student has brought him bcncticinry money from the college.

The discovery was made in l'inc Creek canyon, 2,000 feet aliove the sea. A chilling currant of air coming from the direction of a bed of moss was the first thing that attracted the attention of a party of geologists to it. They rc, moved the moss and discovered a vein of ice f 500 feet long and from four to six inches i thick. The several layers of bonders, debris and ice alternated to a depth of forty feot. , The geologists think this formation belongs to tlie giuciui poriou.

October 22.?A special to the Agc-llcrald from Lafayette records a crime in Tallapoosa County that has rarely been surpassed in its horrible details. It seems that whilo Albert frimtlr.fiY. ', .\ir..vhr?Q-4Jdoiit rhildrnn had mine give them something to eat, and being refused they went into the house, and fidning that there was 110 one at home but Mrs. Smith und her little babe, tbey forced her into the yard and began ransacking the house. After appropriating all they could find in the way of money and valuables, they set fire to the house and added horror to the terrible scene by forcing the distracted woman to witness the most brutal of fiendish deeds, which was the tossing of her little liahy in the air and ictting it fall back almost on the point of sharp knives which they held under it. The brutes finally heeded the frantic woman's entreaties and went away, leaving her with nothing to greet the return of her horror-stricken husband and children but her half-dead babe and a smouldering heap of coals, where was only a few hours before their home. People for miles around have been searching the country for the inccudinrica, and at last accounts three of the negroes had been captured. A U.vckskt Bt'T not a Dzfuat.?The ab an donmcnt by the New Orleans Exchange of a demand of lti pounds tare on cotton packed in cotton cloth, is by no means significant that rate will not finally be agreed upon. The claim of tlic New Orleans Kxchunge, that its action was forced by that of other exchanges, is no doubt true. Memphis never accepted the proposed rate and the Charleston exchange reconsidered its action accepting it. 1 What other exchanges may have done we cannot state positively, but no doubt some of them acted as Memphis and Charleston did. A complete triumph of the movement for the substitution of cotton for jute bugging could hardly have been expected this year. The change was too great for that, with the scant means possessed for the manufacture of the cotton bagging, and tlie custom, fears and rivalries of the exchanges to be overcome. But sufficient progress has been and will be made this season to give assurance of success if the policy of the Alliances and the planters is resolutely adhered to, and we are gratified that there are no indications of weakening as yet.

MBILLKR } * Ass.sta.xt Kd.to.s. ? j j RAILB0AD8 AND HIGHWAYS. 1 Mr. Stokes did not publish hi last wee)^ __ M paper the resolution adopted by last CoaRy J Alliance in referenoe to the prospecAre \ Railroad.' l'erhaps he overlooked it.* I I wish to say a few words to my brother flunn- j ers with regard to the Railroads. 1 I?ct companies and syndicates build as i many Railroads as they please; give them a B warm reception, and the right of way, if ^ ,,1? yon choose, but I am bitterly opposed to* I any more County or township subscriptions.. I Why, we land-owners on North Pacolit -1 know there could be a paying Railroad built > over here. .V road built from Chester, cross^ ing llroad Hiver between the luouths of J Thickety and Pncolct, and up the ridge be* jA \ twen these parallel streams, riglit by otr house, into Polk Co., N. C., without crossing a single stream, and with scarcely any A grading, and from thence to Jonesboro or I Washington, Tennessee. ? 1 Vcs, let them build Railroads until wa I have a perfect net-work of them; but let those build who get the money. ly I can tell you how wo and our fathers over Pacolet hare been served by railroads. Be- tirf; tween 1850 and 18(10. the 8. & U. Railroad at V . was built. Our fathers, animated with the I \M spirit of public enterprise, took stoek ^B I" liberally, for men of their means. The reed H I was built; went into bankruptcy;.was sold JB B for, 1 think, $100,000. They got nothing, and now, 1 am informed, the road is rented Jf 1 out for $50,000 per annum. Then, like B I prosptrom (f) farmers, we voted a subscrip- ^BB jB 1 tion in extend the road t ?> Aslicville, touring j us, we were told, cheap Western corn and 'VM | bacon, giving our money without having any voice in the management, or a knowledge of If what became of the proceeds of the road, and I 1 wo nro allowed only to pay the interest on the * bond* ?a good investment for the owners pf <M the road, and a lifetime drain on us and our children. MB Not satisfied with this, they propose a subscript ion to a rood from, 1 don't know where, to Gaffney or Dlacksburg. The land- " I owners voted almost unanimously against it; I but $25,000 was voted on us in Draytonvflle j Township by about ten or fifteen majority of 1 negro voters, who own no real estate and . 1 ought not to have had any voice in the mat- w tor. And now, if the road is built it will I only touch the extreme North-east corner of I the township?.just enough to get the money I and not profit us in the least. i Did you ever notice the chicanery of Railroad Companies 7 Anxious for us to take nearly half of the stock, leaving them only a small minority, but enough to cast the deciding vote and do what they please with the road nnd its proceeds. Then tlioy run two or moro routes through the proposed towp or y ! [ township, leaving the decided route un- s known till they get the last nicklo from both ways. r '-wsyrr-r-arsBB will build it, and lcFiis quit being the cat's ' paw for them : A farmer's pet monkey once wanted sonio chcsnutx that wcro ' cooking in the ashes, nnd scixed n cat's paw and raked them out. -r->Thc cut riyoi/ed the paiu.dmt the monkey enjoyed the chesnuts. Wo advocate good public highways, instead of the miserable ones we have in many sections, nnd hope the resolutions of our County Alliance will be heeded by our Legislature, especially the one that relates to convict laltor on our highways. Some of these laxy vagabonds arc almost willing to commit some petty c rime in order to rest and bo boarded by the public. Put them to hard work and crime will diminish. * You are right, Mr. Alliance Editor, Mr. Stoke* did overlook the resolution, front the simple fact that it was written on a slip of paper upon one side of which was printed a circular headed, "A word for the Furmers," which had appcnrol in the Times a few weeks before, and wo did not nee the resolution written on the other side until after the paper had hccru workad off. The following is the resolution : Revived, That this body is pleased to heap that thero aro some prospects of a railroad crossing llrond Hiver at Ix>ckhnrt Shoals, and we regard such a road crossing at f/ockhart Shoals as being of incalculable benefit to the farming interests of this State. G. B. Fnwi,eh. .?. ? A CARD OF THAHK8. I have just received n letter from a lady of South 1'acolct congratulating ine for th$ items in the Alliance column. Best assured, kind lady, I appreciate such letters very much. The founder of Methodism onco, in charging some young preachers, said, "If you kiHsj do not make Homebody glad or mad every time you preach you will accotupliidi but little." I have been honest in all 1 have written and have, doubtlr*?, ruffled, or will ' again ruffle the feelingH of some ; but it affords me far _ more pleasure to receive worda' of commendation like yours than censure.* I must and will continue to nay what I -It lieot to be right, regardless of the consjquence*. 'Af u Vou 883' "you dislike to see the fanners Alliance 01 union county represented If* .. A such n poverty stricken condition, especially _ when the formers are the chief support of the county paper." That's right, you stand by the farmers. One of the noble attributes of your sex is fidelity, yet I must say tho mc jority of the farmers of our county arc iu a deplorable situation, a'til aU on account of~- the want ot foresight and energy. " Mr. Stokes is very kind to give the farmers a column in his paper, that they may commune with eacli other and take counsel jtogether; and let the farmers and their wives and daughters embrace the opportunity of interchanging their observations and ideas through this column. There soems to be some misunderstanding < about the rpace allowed the Alliance Kditdp.t r in the Timbh. I do Jiot confine you, gentle men, to one, or even two column*, if you think the interests of the farmer* require it. Remember, GRAHAM & HPARKS have made ^ big reduction* in ladies' llat* and all Millinery Good* 11?in season. Call and get some of their bargain**.
