%HE ALLIANCE DEPARTMENT. N. O. L1TTLEJOHN, . Editor A8BURY, S. C. THI8 AND THAT. Mistaken.?The ed'tor of the "Timkw," ab well as "Tho Greenville Wewt", is mistaken as to who is the {resident of the Union Ceunty Farmers' Alliance. Dr. Robert Little, our candidate for tho Legislature, is . neither president nor vioe-pneeident of tlio ^ Alliance. WILL YOU 1 Will the Foroman of the Timkh" place all the matter for the Alliance Department togethemnd not separate ,by foreign matJb 1 W'f^the^ATlianoe editor has two reasons for requesting this. 1st. When Mr. Stokes so kind!/ offered a nart of 1??.? ?i.? * . -- .? .ua Al? Banco, the Couuly Alliance ro<iuostcd N. Q. Liulejohn, W. il. Miller and M. B. Kelly, to (ill a column each wo;k in the interest of the Fanners' Alliance. Then the column 1 was assigned to N. G. Littlejohn alone, and he has endeavored to do the work assigned , him, but as the Allianco editorials is often separated by foreign matter some of the superficial Alliance readers, finding only a part of the column filled and nevor looking for the balance elsewlicro, complain that I am not doing my appointed work. 2nd. The teachings of the Alliance are, that there shall bo no conflict wlih members 0(t account of their political and religious belief ; and while each member has a right to his own private political opinion, y^ the Alliance department is n?t the place for par- | ty politicians to nir tl cir political notions; ' * and as the Allianco editor has strenuously avoided parly politics in h's column, he ( would rather that his editorials were not | qepnrqted by anything that docs not accord yrith tho principles of the Alliance. B TWO DEW HALI.K 1'hppo t^ro two new Alliance Halls in our pqunly now hoing erected ; one at Cross i Keys and tho other at or near Gibb's. The qne at Cposs I^oyq, is two stories high, and )|as only to bo completed in?idc. Tip! broth- ( rpn thero furnished a splendid barbecue dur- i ing the campaign, and applied tho proooeds to the completion of their hall, which I guess | win enable tliem to finish it nicely, and 1 | hope to hoar soon from-the secretary that they are occupying their hall and moving on 1 smoothly.

"School books at cost." "Reducticn of fees and Salaries of public officers." ,* "We opp /.so the alien non-resident ownership of land, and tho granting of passe* to public officials." , Ot'r Duty.?It is your duty, my brother, as an intelligent and honest citizen, to vote for the candidate who merits your suff rage and will fill the office most acceptably to tho greatest number of good citizens, it mat'ers not whothcr you believe he will be elected or not. Rut it is not your duty, noris it gentlemanly, to use overy moans fuir and unfair, to elect a man simply on account of personal friendship. 1 have known men of high position in society and in the christian church, to liyure their influence for good, by stooping from lite dignity of their position and taking unbecoming mea^s to olect their friends. When soch means are perceived by good men, they injure more than they benefit a candidate. Tits CASOiUATKS at Walekbsviuuk,?The campaign fur this county ended for this ?,.Lr W..lL-o....-;ilo u..l?r,l.?f 'PI...... WM ft Urge aitcndnnoo of people mid the day paused off pleasantly. Besides the county candidates, Lieutenant (iovenior Mauldio, Col. I. (1. McKissick, of Union, and I>r. U. Al. Smith, of Hparlanhug, can didntcs for Congress, made speeches. A string of questions wore fired at the Legi-lative candidates, among them being the following: ' Are you in favor of reducing the foes of the county officers one-half from what they now are ? "Are you in favor of doing away with attorney's tax costs in the various courts ? "Are you in favor of reduoing the fees and costs in the office of Matter?" Tho question was a'so asked, "what kind of bagging did you cover your cotton wi'h last year? '?QrernviUe New* .

Now is the time, while business is -i dull. Send iu your work and have it done promptly and well. Delays aro dangerous. I R. M. McDERMID. May 16 20 tf UNIVERSITY O F SOUTH CAROLINA. AT COLUMBIA, S.
