I ol ha Life of tha Alliance In DangerOur correspondent E. W. J., Intimates tha 1 our editorial of last week upon the Till lan-Shfll convention, we took our cue alom rom the reports of the Newt and Couritt nd Columbia RegitUr. That's a mistake, we took our cue from th rcenville Newt?the beet newspaper friem he Farmers have in tha State? the Chaise on World?owned by the JutCL_^J0C rrust Co., of Charleston?the Columbi tegisler and the Record and the Newt an Courier, and they all agreed upon the point tf which we spoke; and the more we rc*< m<l hear of that convention, the stronge/i; >ur conviction that it was a ring-rund loosed convention, gotten up and ronnau ntcd by what Mr. Tillman calls "Edgctib Jemocrats" (but what~thnt is, differentll my other Democrats in the State, we den' mow, unless it is in their bull-doxing ni?li nls) and a few others, of the Farmers Atlc nation, in the interest of Tillman 9 Sovernor. Now, ne arc, and always hare been, deadi ipposcd to rings, bossism and cliques wl manipulate conventions, or any other bodit >f men assembled for the public good or f< die betterment of any class or Yocations.iTc bavo done and now do our own thinkhtj ind will not allow one man or a set of aohec ng men to cram down our throats any mot ; s?

Our recorJ, as the friend of the Farme of this Ftate is in print for forty years, at as a true democrat we daro express 01 opinion of any man or move that affects tl Democratic party. From whnt wo heard of the spirit of M ralhcrt's lecture before the Alliance la Friday, we expected our position last wet to be severely criticized. Mr. Talbert is man of considerable ability; but he is s "Edgefield Democrat" and, whether knoi ingly or not, by being elected to preside ovi the convention, he was made an importer link in the chain that bounds small majoril >f that body to the Tillman factioi jonsequently he feels somewhat embittert it nny unfavorable criticism of its proceei ings ; nnu coining rresn rroni mo convei Lion, as Stole Lecturer to tho Alliances, 1 will naturally favor the sending of Tillmr Iolegatcs to the State Democratic Conrci lion. llut the action of the March Conventio with its suggestion of TiMinan for Governi of the State, would be of small imporlam if the movement, from beginning to end, d not, in our opinion, endanger the life of tl Alliance, Wo are a true friend to the Alliane Under its present organization and ninnag ment, it is tho safety valve of tho Farino movement ; but if a faction of its menibe \rc permitted to air their ambitious aspir Lions for oltice under the guise of otln Farmers organizations ami then return tlie Alliance and ask that body to endori heir action? as we regret to see has bee lie caso in soino counties?it would thro the doors wide open for the admission the most discordant elomcnt of politi imaginable?that of personal feeling amoi ill ^>frrni^irfn?myilni ion can get togetlior and carr1t"T4ww!'0W renlion to nominate a certain man orJr(te lain ticket, then send cno of their numtii hrotigh the Stato and induce the AlHajn o accent and endorso the nomination, wli annot tlio same bo done by a few offu cekors in the county ? We may lie told tlint such a thing coui iot well occur in the choice for county ofl crs, as that is decided by a Primary ele ion ; but we reply, whi'c it may not bo i ully carried out, it can be used to comm ome of the Alliances to the support of cei ain camli Intos and thereby create discor letwccn Alliances. So long as the Alliance, as an organizi ion, kcops clear from political party cntar ;lcments, it will be a harmonious and bent icial organization, but if it allows itself t >e dragged into the whirlpool of politics b itlicr organizations wo predict it will go t< necos in a short time. The methods of the Tillman Kdgcfield d nocracy in the March convention has spl he Farmers' Association into two irrecot nlnblc parties, and it will do the same wit lie Alliance if permitted to get a foothol 11 that organization. Without going outside, we think the All nice will find trouble enough on its lmuc o keep pence in its ranks, in consequent if tho conflicting influences of the tunn landidatos, who we aro told, intend to ru 'or office, tinder the Alliance banner, thi rear. It will require cool he ids and goot itecring to keep it clear of destructive break irs.

Sinoa the hard rain on tha 28th the J1 ground baa baked badly, and the farmers bate been pushed to their utmost to get , over and break it, the o'ay lands especially. There jvaa a considerable quantity of corn_plantcd before t(ie raio, and ^t is feared theism the stiff land it is almost lost. . There has been a large quantity planted 1 since; more, ss a general thing, than for a long time, at this season. . There is a great demand for commercial fertilizers, and car loads a?-o sold as fast ? as it arrives. It is being rabidly put into tha grouud, and if tbo weather remains favorable cotton planting will soon begin. ? Polato bedding is in progress, and in taking tbc seed from the bank* wc find (hat c sweet potatoes have kept splendidly. Tbcro is going to be a large quantity of sorghum planted this year, judging from the off-start, as there is considerable already ' planted. A great many farmers say tbey will plant peas in nearly all of their corn ; and if they do, and continue to do so, the renovntion of ' old worn-out land will have begun in the 1 ohcapest way and on the best plan. And ' let mc eay here, that nil laud whereon peas ' wore planted last year is now in a very mellow and eas'ly worked condition. Not much gardening done hero yo?, but 1 everything has such a Ppring-likc appearance that gardeners are vory anxious to get to work. oats are looking very fine; but a great many was killed by the Iste freezes, especially in the light sandy soil. For some time it was the general belief tbat neatly all tho peach trees were killed and that there would be no fruit this year, but looking out of tho window now, on sue of tho most beautiful young orchard*, we behold the trets filled with blooms, which is proof thai they are not doad, and leads one to hope that ihoro will be a fair peach crop this year, yet. In all, the farmers arc iu good spirit this yoar, and tlioro is very little grumbling over the crop prospects ; but they arc not at all relishing tho position takou in regard to the "Farmors movement," and the March Convention, and tho charges made on it by some of tho leading newspapers of tho State. And, Mr. Editor, some whom I ltnvo heard talk concerning your e ditorial in youi last issue, in which y- u mention newspaper reports you received are led to believe you clipped them from tho Columbia llegiaUr and News an<l Courier, both of wliicli are fast proving themselves to be the very worst enemies of the farmors and working claMPS, of any papers in tno o a'.e ; nil i especially that Great Dictator and falsifier, the Ackm ami Courier, that makes too many unwarranted Mtacks upon tho far mors, and who hare no legnrJ for OTrcct Btatcaicn's of facts.

MORAL COURAGE Do we, as citizens of a civilized, enlightned and free country, exhibit the moral ourage that is commensurate with the reuiroments of our welfare as individuals ad as a people ? Do the twelve men who constitute the . rand Jury of every county, to whom is i aoh year committed tho moral and sacfftl 1 " 1 'at rust of the people's well-being, fulfll the ows they assume, to find out and bring to ldgraent every viola'or of the laws of our ind that they possibly can ? ^ Does every man realize that he is rcspons)le, not only for bis own acts, but for the rrong doing of others, that he could Docs ovcry man, with ill will to none, but om a sense of duty, uso the strong arm of 10 law to suppress critno wherever found ? Do you, my readers, of overy ago and sex, now that to refrain from doing right when lie time for action arrives, is cowardice, and lie worst form of slavery ?

Oafvnkt City.?A copy of your papor has >ecn handed to me, in which a writer aignng himself Glenn, undertakes to give you he facts relative to how Gaffnoy came to lavo barrooms. If Gleam had simply performol the task lie set for himself, vii: that of defending our town and coanoil, then this writer would not have felt called on to enter your columns to oppose him; but since he has been constrained t > write down prohibition as a failure, he nnd you, Mr. Editor, must excuse me for entering ft prot^t. shall 1 tho In tho fir?t place, Gleam's account of how there came to be barrooms in Gaffnejr is not the one generally acceptol hero. Ho say# Ihftt "a majority of the best citizen* of the town" petitioned the council to grant liceoso to sell spirituous liquors. The facts seem to bo about these : A pctiion was circulated here last Fall praying he Legislature to amend the town charter 10 as to inc'.udo Limestone in its corporate imits. 1 hu?cu't met a single person wba leutes that that was the nrgument used by he circulators of the petition to get signers, f the author or authors and circulators of hat petition asked any one to sign it on any tlier ground I have not met that person. It any rate, wlion tho charter came home rom Columbia it came minus the prohibitory ection ; and it is an open secret here that foul play" is suspected. When it was nderstooi that tho charter had been. " j hanged and that the power to grant liccnso J ad been vested in the council, ami that were likely to have barrooms anyhow, lany did sign a petition to the council to raTft IIOBUOCT .,?? A on-ilorAble number of those who s:gaod iiat petition voted against the formor In. mdant because they felt he had not dealt airly with them in tho nutter of the pction to the Legislature to change the charsr. I don't believe, Mr. iviiior, that ''a iajority of the best citizens" of OufTney. or f any other town in South Carolitri>4Ero arrooms. The b*rroom interest hns^ievcr died on tho "best citizens" to carry their irasures. Gleam would create the imression that the bsck-bono of tin churches r Gaffney petitioned for barrooms, for he ij'* of those who ?ii'l petition, that they were men who stand rm high, socially, lorally and reliyiously, (italics mine) as lose who constitute the mainstay an 1 stake f any church in our State. Now, I don't believe Gleam is qui'o sin;re in that sta'cmeut. lie mu-t have uown that not a sioglo preacher, or school SNtofc i?otl^Arftcm yWi usniiky ere not naked to sign it for the very reason lat their positions rendered it improper int they should sign it. Why was it that ic preachers (and some other pints perms, as to that) were not askcl to sign that ctiiion ? Let Gleam answer. No, no ! Mr. Editor, we nre not as bad as learn would hnve you think. Allow me ? defend Gaffney from her defender. Let r shed a gleam ou the dark picture whicb^^^ leatu lias drawn of Gaffney. If a majority f the best people in onr town were to etition for barrooms, then would it soon some (if it wcr^fcot alrcidy) a "bed'am,!' nice I. Gleam any# "there was f- rincriy one iq?rIml. there nre now two, not t/irrr." Very T j, c 4BHI towns I could mention where the law i# car' ricd into effect ?"
