The Alliance State Exchange to be Moved, i
To the Kditnr of The am! Vaurirr : f
At the recent meeting of the Stu'e Alliance c
held in the city of tirrenviPc, S. i' . on the
23d and 21th of duly ultimo, a committee
wa< appointed, consisting of ihe Itev. J. A. c
Sligh, Col. J. !' Coil and myself, for the |
|>ur| <t?e of permanently locating '"The Farmcra'
Alliance Exchange ofSouth t'irolinn."
tin behalf of this committee I beg the use of I
your columns ! ? bring thii matter properly t
before all those whnii il may cancel n. ^
This F.xchongc ?:?' organized in December j
last. The Hon M. I.. Donaldson, of tirrenville,
was elected business agent for the Exchange.
The headquarters of the same was I
locattd tcmpornr ly in the city of Greenville, i
At a meeliiig <>f the c< iiniy trustee stockholders
of the State Alliance, the following
action was taken :
"Whereas, it is the sense of this ConvenS?
O * ?t,n Stnln ho VtMIMtVOil 11,

be it
itTA"r??? ! rrt.?i ?? luiiiifillitru ui Ulit'U 1*0
appointed for the purpose of ascertaining
what inducements other business centres
will oft'er to have the State Exchange
established in their midst. Said
committee to report to the board of dircc
tori on or nclore the im ui January, ijv.h,
itt which time the hoard -hall take final nctioti
in the mutter."
As I have fi uml since my npp diilinent
on this committee that I hern seems I ? he
s uuc tui-npprehen-i u anion,; outsiders n> l"
the aim, ohjeet or purpose of this departure
in its original conception on the part of the
Alliance, a remark or two hy way of explanation
may not he amiss.
The president of the hoard "f directors
in cn'ling attention to it- first organisation,
stated that :
' The general purpose of the Kxchange is
leetareil to he to act as agent for the purchase
ami sale of all kind- f firm supplies
ami products and to <1 > nil that appertains I
to the receiving, handling. forwar?lmg, ami

upon the success of the producers ilepen Is I
the success of tin-e in nil othtr callings or
professions, wea-k the supp ?rt. no' only of
Alliance men. tail ol' all gaml citizens interestcil
in the material welfare of our common
country.
We are organized far the purpose of protecting
ourselves ugain-t organi/ations that
combine. form trusts. syndicate* or pray upon
the ignorant ami nnorganizetl.
I have heen told that this movement is a
prccoiicoite'l elljr 1 on the part of the farmers
to injure, if not destroy. the regular
mercantile business of the country. This
i? a selfish a- well as an erroneous ami mistaken
idea. It i- intended (list this Kxeliange

L I'umary in The Fourth Distnet' Flat
Hi- Democratic Convention of the 4th Ot
'ongressienal District, met at (Jrcenvillc last the
M' 11?I*ymight to settle the question whether into
i Congressmen should he nominated by pri- wha
mary or convention. men
Full delegations were present from every so ii
County except Fairfield, which sent frag- bret
menls of two delegations. Of the Straight- the
out delegation thcro were two present. The rob
Tillrasnite delegation had five out of eight Am
present. and
The convention was called to order by Mr. the
A*C. I.vles of Union. ins
Mr. ti. \V. Whitman of Union was idectcd and
temporary Chairman, and Mr. N. O. f!on- \
/ales of Kichlaud, temporary Secretary. pri
A committee of one from each delegation mo
was appointed on credentials. am
A rece?s was taken, and. upon invita- out
tion, the candidates for [Congress present kn
addressed the meeting. Col. McKisaick lig
spoke humorously. Dr. Mauldin took grounds lj i
against tlie sub-treasury and l>r. Smith sop- int
ported it. Mr. I). I*. Duncan, Railroad fit
Commissioner, wait invited to speak, and fr<
lie uMarkcd the sub-treasury scheme. pu
At tiie re-assembling of the convention th
the committee on sredentinl* tnndo majority th
and minority reports on the Fairfield eonle^t;
the niajoiily favoring the sealing of the Till- hi
mm delegation. Mr. McMnnlcr, assisted \\
hy Mr. N. U. tlonr.alcs, both of Richland, mi
and Mr. Kwnrt of tiroenville, endeavored st
to accnre a hearing for tho contesting dele- tii
galion before the convention, but they ac
" ? -<on ,1,1
Tillroiinitc de'egntion eras floated. ol
Mr. Whitman was made pcrinanent ( hair- tt
rain and Mr. <\ It. Wallace, of I.nttrens, d
Sccrc'ary, Mr. (ton/ales declining. After h
simo difcusMf.n. the clmirtnan of each dele- o
gat ion was permitted to cast the full vote to o
which hi? delegation was entitled. o
The roll of counties wa? called alphabetically.
and each vcted unnanimous for pri- d
hi try. b
The m?jo iiy plan was adopted by a viva ii
voce vote, although some of the Shcllites h
wanted the plurality, ft wns decided that v
the two candidates receiving the highest c
number of votes cnterjtho second primary. t
The IMrd Srpteinher was fixed for the first v
primary, and Tuesday, October 7th the day
for the second. ?
lly general con*ent the rules of the last c
i Congressional primary were adopted. t
i If 111c convention had gone itt'o ? nomi- v
aniion, Shell would have been the nominee, l
as I lie Fairfield and I.aureus delegations <
1 were solid f- v him, ilitkGrcenville dele- i
pi I ion were nearly all for him. It is predicted
that a primary will defeat him.

Farmers of the country, and who would

their fellow citizens of the hallowed w,

ow that a large majority of the most intel*

ngrce with us in our opposition to certain w

of a serious doubt as to the good expected ^
?tn either, and accord to us an honesty of 0
rposc that would not permit of a doubt )
at we were actuated by any other motivo '
an nit earnest desire for the public good. f
We, however, unequivocally state that wc ]
ive nothing to recall-?no apology to make. <

ucing the characters of those honorable and 1
ouest mon who had honorably tilled the

Wc did not believe those charges, and we

If the Farmers of Union arc not satisfied
with tho course of the Timks under our management,
they can purchase the paper, and
thereby secure an established paying business,
keep out nil opposition, and Conduct it
according to what tlicy may think is to their
own interest: but we wi-h it to be understood.

Hard Time*.
Mk. Kditob.? It seems that this "hard
times" is the burden of conversation everywhere
Now 1 conclude that "where there is so
muoh anioko tliere tnust be sonic fire:" that
times arc hard, and that we are really passing
through the Hint mill. 1 have been
taught that there cannot be an effect without
a cause, so there must be a cause for the
outcry :
The reasons why times are hard is fully
explained in a conversation which coourrcd
between two farmers; one was an old man,
a good farmer, who took a sensible view of
*t... .1 i: ? u.._ .. r ... i
tilings ; 1HC IIIIIBI" im-'l wu it mini mi'! Cttiued
to be h rather extreme man. He wan
pouring out the viuls of his wrath on the
representative in Congress from his ilistrict,
on Congress as a body ami the Legislature of
his Sinte, using hard names and accusing
them of Bleating the ptihlio money, end said
a change must he made before times would
he better. ' The fellow really seemed hurt,
and I am sure that hard times was a sensitive
subject with him. This party led in
conversation until he wau sure that his boiler
and the cap of Ins hen I was out of danger,
then tho old farmer began, by saying:
How is your cdt hi crop this year?"
Ans. "I d;d not plant any cotton: it has
been s i low for the last few years, that it
won't pay to pick it out."
How much wheat have you to sell ? As
you |lint'.d no c.ttoii, you must have pi enty
of wheat.
"X.." slid he. ' what I sowed was good,
but 1 only sowed ti few acres. Wheat has been
so uncertain that 1 was afraid to risk much."
Then you must haven great deal of corn?"
"No. 1 did nut plant much of a crop, aud
am afraid 1 will have to buy a little to put
nic through!"
Well," said the old farmer, "have you
any fa' hogs to soil (his season." i
!.u.. ij ei,Hato'to tniy."
"Have you any beofcattle 7"
' No; the distemper has been ?> bad I was
e'rail to try beef cat'lc."
We'l, said the old man, "you have
nothing t sell, and it doesn't matter wbethot
the deposits are arc removed from the Unitcd
.States Ilank or not, or who i* President,
or who goes to Congress ; it will always bo
hard times with you until you raise your
own supplies and have something to Bell."
Now 1 conclude thnt a great many of our
people have nothing t?> sell ami that is onr
roas n why times are so hard, particularly
with all such. Lb ii. R.

VIRGINIA STATE ALLIANCE
The Virginia State Alliance convened at
Lynchburg Aug. 19, and unanimously adapted
the following resolution :
Whereas, Alliances are shaking hands serosa
the I'otomac, across the Mississippi, across
the rugged peaks of the Rockies, and, far
grander still, across the "bloody chasm,"
across the Mason and Dixon's line; and
whereas, conscienceless politicians in our
national Congress have advocated measures
and expressed sentiments to arouse old sectional
feeling engendered by tho war: ]
Therefore,' be it *4
ltr?olv*d, That we, the State Farmers Al.
' liauce of Virginia, do intend to grasp with
tighter Alliance grip the hands of our Alliance
brothers in the North, determined to
together with locked shields, in spiteof
all efforts to urau-c prejudice between no,
until the financial emancipation of laborer
ami producer is accomplished.
? w
THE ALLIANCE ^
The Stiiint'tril-Xrirx (Ala.) says: The
- Farmers Al iauce lias done more for the
whole country than any organization that
evor existed, and its work lias scarcely be.
gun. Brethren, let political demagogues
howl, and enemies scheme for our destrue1
lion, but so long as wc remain true to Alliance
principles and purposes, wc will
go on from victory to victory, till "equal
- rights to all and special privileges to none," . j
>% will characterize every law of the land.
The Kntfrjirixr (Ala) says: The Alliance,
I like Collin's gentleman sheep, his a head of

ami move on to glory with the crowd.
The AUinnct Union ( Knn.) ??ys: HutU
parties nre realizing that the Alliance has
i accomplished what the sworJ, tho press and
the pulpit failed to do. The .Mason and
1 Dixon line on which the Moody shirt lias
been hung every four years, has at hist been
obliterated, and tHe cotton planters of the
South and the farmers of the North and
" West have bid old partica good-bye and
united for their mutual interosts.
The bloody shirt gnuguow pock to create
f dissension and strife within the orgunizuf
tion by defaming the character and reputu'
tion of the Alliance leaders,

EDUCATION
> Correct education, says Kuskiii, teaches
1 us three things: First, where we aie?that
^ is to say, what sort of a world we aro in: how
large it is, what kind of creatures lire in it. j
how it is made, what it is made of, and
8 what may he made of it. /
r Secondly, where we nre going?that is to
say, what chances or reports there are of
any oilier world besides this, that may ho
I" our future home, mid what may he the
nature of that other world,
s Thirdly, what kind of facilities we possess,
what are the present nate and wants of
8 mankind, what are our several places in
society, and what are the readiest means in
our power of a<tainiiig happiness ami dife
fusing it.
" The man who knows these things, and who
^ has his own will so subdued in the learning
, of them that he is ready to do what he
r knows he ought, in every spheic of life, is
i, educated, r\ii<l the uinn who knows them
n?i is uncilucalfl, Ihnu^'h lip conM talk nil
