A torrific storm of wind, with some rain and hail passed over this town Wednesday afternoon. For a timo we feared it would end in a destructive cyclone, but it passed without doing any damage, that we liavo heard. During the storm, a colored man by the name of Thomas Ilerndon, was blown off his mule and had his arm dislocated.

Finger, bis brother-in-law, some timo ago, in Spartanburg County, Judge Wallace, refused to allow bail. It is truly gratifying to find tho circuit Judges of the State setting then faces as Hint against the popular but morbid sentiment that inurdorors and those who commit other heinous crimes should bo allowed to go at large under bonds ordinarily much below what the nature of the crime appeared to demand. This is the second ease in which Judge Wallace has shown the sternness of his character in the discharge of his high duties, and his disregard of public clamor or sonti- I nient when ttio good of society nnd the dictates his own conscience were opposed to admitting criminals to hail.

Everybody who lias lived in this town for thirty years, or less, will remember the rugged and faithful black pony that the venerable Col. Robert llcaty used to ride | into town on. Well, in jogging into town last Monday, with Mr. C. II. Peake on her back, old "Pony"?that washer name?suddenly fell forward and broke her neck. She survived her Master only a few weeks. It is supposed that Pony was thirty-five yoars old. She had been blind for many years; and wc aro told that she had not been ridden faster than what may bo called a jog trot, but onco or twico, in tho memory of those who knew her longest. That goes to prove that Kit was not indulging in reckless riding when she fell. Easter Eleotion.

J., Intimates that in our editorial of last week upon the TUlman-Shtll convention, we took onr cue alone from tho reports of the New* and Courier M< and Columbia Register. ^ That's a mistake, we took our cue from the jjg Greenville Newt?the beet newspaper friend the Farmers hare in the State? the Charta?J^g ton IForW?owned hy the JuteM^SHHi Trust Co., of Charlesion?tho Columbia Regitter and the Record and the New* and f0I i Courier, and they all agreed upon the poin/s its of which we spoke; and the more we rad I and hear of thai convention, the stvong? is our conviotion that it was a ring-ru td, j? bossed convention, gotten up and mani >u- ye lntcd by what Mr. Tillman cnlls "Edgef Id i Democrats" (but what^tbnt is, different to tjfl 1 any other Democrats in the State, wedti't <ju > know, unless it is in their bull-doxing niejh- lit r ods) and a few others, of the Farmers A?o- 0,1 ' oiation, in the interest of Tillman ?r * > Governor. ; p, i Now, we are, and always have been, dead^ CI opposed to rings, bossism and oliques whe m manipulate conventions, or any other bodie^ of men assembled for the publio good or for'' ^ the betterment of any class or vocations.? st Wo bavo done and now do our own thinking, ' and will not allow one man or a set of sohetn- Qj ing men to cram down our throats any mov^ q T Our record, as the friend of the Farmers i of this State is in print for forty years, and 5 as a true democrat we dare express our w opinion of any man or move thnt affects the ^ Democratic party. _ 5 From what we heard of tho spirit of Mr. ft ' Talbcrt's lecture before the Alliance 'a?l t Friday, we expected our position last week ^ to be severely criticized. Mr. Talbert is a s man of considerable ability; but be is an tl "Edgefield Democrat" and, whether know* < . ingly or not, by being elected to preside over P the convention, he was made an important ^ link in the chain that bound a small majority m of thnt body to the Tillman faction, tl consequently lie feels somewhat embittered at any unfavorable criticism of its proceed- j[j ings ; and coming fresh from the eoqven* to tion, as State Lecturer to the Alliances, he to will naturally favor the sending of Tillman dolcgatcs to the State Democratic Conven- * tion. gi Dut the action of the March Convention, s[ with its suggestion of Tillman for Governor of the State, would be of small importance ^ if the movement, from beginning to end, did * not, in our opinion, endanger the life of the cl Alliance. We are a true friend to the Alliance, y Under its present organization and manage; ment, it is tlio safety valve of the Farmers movement; but if a faction of its members arc permitted to air their ambitious aspirations for office under the guise of other ^ Farmers organizations and then return to 0j the Alliance and ask that body to endorse m their action ?as wo regret to see has beon tb the caso in some counties?it would throw 8' the doors wide open for the admission of q the most discordant element of polities E imaginable?that of personal feeling among ti^j^unUra in e?erri?i^ Uw ^mulrlnuay g tion can get togcthor and vention to nominato a certain man tain tickrt, then send one of their through the State and Induce the Alhnpce J W to accept and endorso the nomination, why | W cannot the same bo done by a few office I u seekers in tlie county ? U Wc may be told that such a thing could It not "well occur in the choice for couDty offi- at cers, as that is decided by a Primary eleotion ; but we reply, whi'e it may not bo so j. fully carried out, it can be used to commit D( some of the Alliances to the support of oer- IK tain candi'latos and thereby creato discord between Alliances. 0I So long as the Alliance, as an organize- ar tion, keops clear from political party entan- oa glemenis, it will be a harmonious and bene, ficial organization, but if it allows itself to be dragged into the whirlpool of politics by co other organizations we predict it will go to so pieces in a short time. ? ? The methods of the Tillinan Edgofield do- ^ mocracy in the March convention has split gr the Farmers' Association into two irrecon- g' cilable parties, and it will do the same with 10 the Alliance if permitted to get a foothold in that organization. St Without going outside, wc think the Alliance will find trouble enough on its hands ** to keep peace in its ranks, in consequence jj of tho conflicting influences of the many tu candidates, who we aro told, intend to run pi for offico, under the Alliance banner, this year, n will require cooi ncius anu gOOU steering to keep it clear of destructive break- y< era. 'J1 Once divest the Alliance of n tittle of its present business and social features and m allow politics to take the place, and the days fe of its usefulness and life will bo short and n< boisterous. -ilnlinoda death will Jail effort to orgnni/e the Farmers be buried deep. ce For (he Times, bi; The Oraded School Building. ^ Mr. Koitob.

But we had prayer meeting. Jt'ow I can only epesk of the work this iyer meeting has done for the Methodist lurch, as it is the church I represent in ; christian work. At the time this ayer meeting was organised there were ly three men in this church who oould or to wonld lead in prayer, say nothing of aiding up and speaking for the Lord; tr, no less than eight are doiug this kind 'work.

While I fully appreciate the unsolicited ompliment which has been paid roe and csire to express thanks for this evidence of onfidence, yet, I am satisfied that my name ras put forward under a misapprehension. It cannot be doubted that the purpose of lie convention was to place up n the ticket len who were in full sympathy with the etter of the chairman of the Executive JommiUee of the Farmers' Association Captain Shell) in calling the convention ogethcr?men who fully endorsed the platorm adopted, and who could and would anvass (he State upon the issues thercio uadc. Without refering to any objections I had o the letter of Captain Shell, or my views m in thn nnllnv of mnUino nominations at hie time, it will bo suflieiont for me to say bat I do not fully endorse the platform, uid for this and other sufficient^ reasons -unr' -1 in Ita! support IS require 1 by the eleventh section of the platform.

This action will also relieve you of all embarrassment in substituting a man who will represent the views which prevailed iu the convention. It is but proper for nic to say here that I tm wholly identified with the agricultural interests of the State and am in full sympathy with the ftrmcrs in their efforts to belter their oondition, qnd to this end am heartily in favor of their taking an active part in the control of legislation, both Federal and Slate. But all mpst admit that honest differences -of opinion as to the means and measures which will furnish tbo needed relief may well exist between men nctuated by the best motives and seeking the accomplishment of the same ends."

MORAL COURAGE Do we, as citizens of a civilized, enlightened and free country, exhibit the moral courage that is commensurate with the requirements of our welfare as individuals and as a people ? Do the twolve men who constitute the Grand Jury of every oounty, to whom Is eaoli year committed the moral and satlfttl '1 w trust of the people's well-being, fulfil the vows they assume, to find out and bring to judgment every viola'or of the laws of our land that they possibly can 7 Does every man realize that he is responsible, not only for his own acts, but for the wrong doing of others, that he could Does every man, with ill will to none, but from a sense of duty, use the strong arm of the law to suppress crime wherever found ? Do you, my readers, of every age and sex, know that to refrain from doing right when the time for action arrives, is cowardice, and the worst form of slavery T It Is for this lack of moral courage in a community that "blind tigers" grow fat, and druggists can become rich from the bogus certificates given by dishonest jack-leg doctors, and mon cry out that prohibition does ? not prohibit. It is for this lack, of moral oourage in well-wishing people (hat our laws are trampled under foot and sin and ia^iity run rampant on every side in high anQff^w places. We, as individuals and as a people, need a deeper consecration to truth and duty ; for only this consecration implanted in the breast, can win for us our best freedom. TO EDITOR OF ALLIANCE DEPARTMENT. Qaffmrt Citt.?A copy of your paper has been handed to me, in which a writer signing himself Qletm, undertakes to give you the faots relative to how Qaffney came to have barrooms. If Gleain had simply performoJ the task he set for himself, vix: that of defending our town and coaneil, then this writer would not have felt oalled on to enter your columns to oppose him; but sinoe he has been constrained ti write down prohibition as a failure, he and you, Mr. Editor, must excuse me for entering a protest. shall I in tho case" in mo nrct place, Uleam's account of how there eame to be barrooms in Gaffhey is not the one generally acceptol here, lie says that "a majority of the best citiztnt of the town" petitioned the council to graut license to sell spirituous liquors.' The facts seem to be about these : A petition was circulated here last Fall praying the Legislature to amend the town charter so as to includo Limestone in its corporate limits. I ha*on't met a single person who denies that that was the argument used by the circulators of the petition to get signers. If the author or authors and ciroulaters of that petition asked any one to sign it on any other ground 1 have not met that person. At any rate, when the charter oamo home from Columbia it came minus the prohibitory section ; and it is an open secret here that "foul play" is suspected. When it was understood that the charter bad changed and that the power to grant licenser. V had been Tested in the couucil, and that -tlrty dfere likely do hare barrooms anyhow, many did sign a petition to the council to glYTrv tlbbuofl ? - W suws M considerable number of those who signod that petition voted against the former Intendant because they felt he had uot dealt fairly with them in the matter nf !.? ?? ...V tiou to (he Legislature to change the char* ler. I don't believe, Mr. E-litor, that "a majority of the beet cilixent" of Qaffney. or of any otiier town in South Carolin*>^(ife bai rooras. The Vfctroom interest has never relied on the "beet citiiena" to earrjr their inrasttres. Gleam would creato the impression that the back-bono of the churohee of Gaffney petitioned for barrooms, for lie says of those who did petition, that they "were mou who stand tm high, socially, \ morally and reliyiouxly, (italics mine) as those who constitute tho mainstay an i stake of any church in our State. Now, I don't, believe Qleam U quite sin* core in that sta'ement. He mud have known that not a single preacher, or sohool tmh.S& lPotlfcTaftwftcW?? rWi YMlniifc were not asked to sign it for the very reason that their positions rendered it improper that they ebnuld sign it. Why was it that the preachers (and some other piius per* sons, as to that) were not askel te sign that petition T Let Qleam answer. No, no ! Mr. Editor, we are not as bad as Uletm would bare you think. Allow ui? lo defend Oaffuey from her defender. Lei _ me abed a gleam on the dark picture whicli^^^ Gleam has drawn of Oalfney. If a msjority^^B of the best poople in our town were te petition for barroome, then would it eoon become (if it werdPfet already) a "beLam,!' indeed. Gleam says "there was formerly one tn?"ehal, there are now two, not three." Very well. beers oftheOnautaunua ftnto Conire Dr. J. H. Car isle, ef Woff rd ^HB|| president; 8. O.
