Alliance Bank, to be ^liBaTi>d toBlrolltd by the members of lb? Farmers' Alliance, with llie understanding that the Exchange is lo have a controlling interest. All individual member* of the Alliance, 4be Stale Alliance and Count/ Alliances, in possession of surplus funds, art asked, and even urged, lo subscribe lo i's capita! slock. Al n meeting of the triistcc-siockhoMcrs held in the city of Cnlumb n, on the Uth and 1 lib instant, the undets:guud wee appointed u ootnmii tee to issue an a Idrrst lo the Alliance membership calling their attention to the facts stated and to tirgo upon iheui the prompt pay mom of the b dance of stock duo tbe State Exchange. The btate Exchange was organized under most disoournging circumstance*. Only one-fourth of the rubrcrlbed si ok was called for, and this c> ul I not be uecd on'y ns a hssie of commercial rating. Die hoard of il'tt'ctors were instructed to te?iu husiriess and thus enter the c romercial fio'd in which there i? rnuch ability, eiprricnce and sharp ooiupetiti hi, and ibis without a dollar rate a small amount ns interest on that part ofatcck naid in. Kverylliing was new nnd untred. Oppunition mot them at cteiy tuin. Wholesale dealers nnd manufacturers regnrded tho movcinrnt in its proper light "* on oxperimoot and acted toward it accordingly. The days were dark, an well hh the uighlH, and oftimes it roomed as though the entcrpriHe would have to bo Abandoned. Kxpenarn nnd debts accumulate I day nfior day and it Formed nliuo't iinpis?ihlc At one time that wo should ever be able to meet our obligations. We thought seiiiutly of nuking the Stale A1 ianco to help us over our flunnci tl difficult lea Hut during all these dark days there wns one thought that ins) ired iih. It was the faith we hud in the loyalty of tho Alliance inenihcrHtiip which was a sheet anchor to our hearts. Ili s gave hope and promise* of a bliglder future That futuro oatne an 1 with it catiio light and joy. All i< now bright liefnra us 1 he hardest bitt'et have liven fought, thu darkest days have jhhsu I away and Hint ho mo loyalty to this good causa on tho purl of llic membership of tho Alliance will, wo believe, iiinke the Exchange what it ii intend-d to he, a means of raving to every AUiinen man some rf the profits on iirlicU* produce I nnd sold hy him, of vhoupruing a* tieles purchased hy him, end of re hiving H o rate of iulorest on money borrowed by hint. Let enoh insmliee nfrlm tllinn.-o iii i>n?ln? - l"V '"is his dues to the lixihmigc tnko in'o I lie account the probable ami l?"o benefits to ucci'iiu to liiin in this business, iinil art if it iloes nol promise to be the best invcptineiit nmile by liiui. Much cre<lil is <lue Ilia Suite ruuiuiger for tlio success attained by tlio F.xchungo. Inliict lie bus done the hardest work and has conic into direct contact with the many ddhculties and great opposition to tbe entciprise. I.caving his own business, and with a salary contingent on the success of the work ho is deserving of tlio conlidviicc and esteem of every Allianco uiuu in the State. The business is growing, and our ' ujsnagor with those of other Stales are now AVTOfigTog to act Together or in concert Irffh oath other whenever this can he done advantageously to the Alliance membership. What n power and intluciice is tins for the ulevation, training an I financial success of llie farmers of our eouu'ry, Let us see to it. that our Kxchaugo s ..tl not be behind others. With tlio 7<> per cent of unpaid stock to the Kxchango, and with a subscription from other sub-Alliances which have not ns yet eub'cribrd, the State Kxchango can put into the bank tifiy-livo or sixty thousand dollars and the capita! :!ock of .- ! ! 'nana mmi its individual Allianco subsciption. with what twiiuty AFianccs and Sta'c Alliances may do, can easily he run to one hundred thousand dollars. Now stop to think what a vast banking business can bo run on such u capita', ami \vh..t a power this will ho in j romoting, ibsecily and indirectly, the interests of the farmers of the Stale. The State Kxclinmro 11111-t have salaried olliccrs nii'l employees In do its work, livery bank must liuvo I lie tamo ; throw thosu institutions together mid place litem 10 i\ large measure under Ilia taine management, and sec how economically and with what great raving of monny lite work can bo done. Is there anything l? Keep (lie Farmers' Alliance of the St do of South Carolina from raving money in managing for themselves an I'.xchange and Hank, two lines of business in which so many others make themselves fortunes V The trusteo stockholders of the Fxclunge will meet in Columbia on the 'JSth of next January to perfect arrangements for establishing the Farmers' Alliance Hank, and it is of vital importance that every cent of subscribed slock should bo paid in on or before that time, llrcthren, the successful operation of the Stale Fxchungc of I lie Farmer*' of South i aroliua depends in a great measure upon the prompt payment of ibis stock. I'an we not hope that this will be done, ami thai oilier sub-AUiancea who have dune nothing in lliis direc'iun will in like manner sand in their subscriptions T The State Fxehange, desiring t> bo just to sub-Alliances in ibis connection, at it* meeting in Columbia unanimously adopted the following resolutions : Jitsulrtri, That sub-Alliances which li.tve subscribed two or more shares of stock t-> the Stale Fxehange and have paid a pari of the tame, and have since making sucli payment been reduced in membership below the constitutional number upon which said tubtcription was based, tlint all tuh-Allinucrs shall liavo the honclU of such reduction in membership and receive credit frcm the State Fxehange on their stock for any amount tints overpaid. At the meeting to be held on tliQ liSlh of January, INH, net only will I lis banking bariums be discussed, but this will l>e ?lis?ciitseil in connection wills the future management of the State Exchange, and it is highly probable that many changes will be made in the rules which hare heretofore governed the management of the Kxclmngc. The whole business will be discussed, and nu effort will be made to reach the wisest conclusions. J,el every member of the Alliance regard the subject as one in which ho is most doejily interested and send in eueh suggestions to the meeting as will in bis opiuion most likely lend to the best results. Hut, over and beyond every oilier cousidera"ion, let every true anil loyal member of die Alliance pit foith bis best efforts in seeing that tlie money duo the State lixchange front sub-Alliances bo promptly paid and reported on or before the -nth of Jaounry, IbOl, With this money in hand there is a bright future for the Alliance of South Carolina. If it is not paid, uo promise can bo made. Respect fully yours, J. A. Slioh, | J). 1\ Dv.m an, r Cota, kW. U. llMMEBXANftj mmmfMggwi i n ffte JDeeftfy -Union intw * B. M.

But we are reminded hit a great and.omnipotcnt God is in it al' and, as e?rtbly croiiures, we arc not allowed tn ??-- v? Thou "his? I.nder these oircuuistances. it becomes us as inle'ligent beings, to accept the fiat of tho (Irrat Almighty, and try to draw a .me Dssons of usefulness and hope from the life of the deceased that will benefit us in this life aud fit us for the better life. Our first lesson, then, is that the deceased was hont.it. In being honest we must do unto others what wo would that they do unto us. lie did this ever1/ time. Our second lessen is, lie was hiilustrton.i, making his bread by the sweat of his br >w ; not slothful, but resell'. Our third lesson is,.lie w is liberal ?always distributing to the necessities of those around liiui?rejoicing with those who rejoico, and weeping with those who weep. Our last Iosmui is, lie was a Chrintiun?rendering unto God the things that are Ooil s nnd to ('m?ar tho things tlint arc (Aosar's. And us con c one has said, '-an honest man is tho noblest wc rk of God," so it was made manliest in me inaivc-iip 01 i?r. li>uo, mat God bad Ir cil his hand in bunging for Lit one of his Noblemen. Bui, Mr. Kdilor, I desire to speak briefly of his character as a public servant of bis peojde. I foil it ray duty to his constituents who so sadly mourn his loss to fny the' they placed him in ft position he did not seek. Only one incentive prompted liim to accept office nt the bauds of his poop c, that was his hire for his native County, and a strong do- sire to be < f mine use, in his day and generation, in helping to bring about such needed reforms in our system of government as ho thought desirnb'c. Often liavo 1 heard him say lie w ?s no law-maker ; that lie was in the wrong p'nee: but the voice of his fellow-men called hint, mid by the he'p of God he would be found nt the post of duty. And so it was. Dr. Litilc did not fail to he at his post, an I the Journal of the House will show that he only missed one roll calf; that was on Tuesday morning, the 23d December, the day lie left Columbia never to return. llo was faithful, lie wns watchful, ho was thoughtful; always considering the welfare of his Stn'cand fellow-citizens, as paramount to his own. '1 bus he lost his life. Hud he been more thoughtful of self, lie might have been t-parerl longer. The effects of the close heated air in the State House, during a very trying session of both day and night duration, and sudden exposure to the bleak wind more than an < rdinnrily weakly man coutd stand, and bis cinstitution, which was naturally weakly, bad to fuccomh, anil the fell destroyer of the peace noil comfort of s> many carrel its victmtohs bst vesting place, preuintnvo'y, and to the dismay of all who know him. Dr. Little was sick fop two weeks with severe cold. On Monday night, 22d Doc., at 10 o'clock, lie took a severe chill, and left the Slate House for tho first time. The Session adjourned at a few minutes t > 12 o'clock at night and when I arrived at our room 1 found the Dr. in a high state of delirious excitement with a high fever, and very sick a? heart. I asked liini what 1 must do? 11c paid, ' tell Dr. Strait, Senator from Lancaster, to come up to see ire.'' Dr. Strait did not coine in from the Senate chamber until next inorn'iig; but when lie did come he examined ilio Dr. very closely in presence of Senator l'o?ko ami myself, and said he could see no signs of I'ncumonia about hint, ami wrote a prescription for me to go to a Ding s'oro and have tilled for him. 1 suggested to the Dr. to advise Dr. Little to go home. He said, as the Session was now about to close?only one more day remained?he would consent. I forthwith set about ptotlin?; rcailo for the train. The Dr. was very feeble, an 1 1 feared he could not s'and the trip ; hut I put hint on the car, and plici-d him in the care of Mr. IJowcn, a young man front Pick*!!* County, who was on his way homo from attending Medical lectures at Charles*on, who promised to carc for him until he arrived at L'nion. Little did ' think that I would never see him again when I shook his hand at the depot in t o'umbia. The last word he ever spoke tome was "good bye, 1 think I can gel hon e." And si it is. lie is at home, alter a life well spent in service for his followmen and his (lid. I claim he wns >ui/ friend, and I enjoye 1 the le--t kindness au?l friendship lie was enabled to dispense on th-s earth. Let us emulate his example and let our lives end as his did, and we shall receive a "crown". Mr. Editor, 1 lay this as a tribute to his memory and in doing so feel that 1 havo discharged a duty, though inipetfcctly, yet with a true devotion to affection, an I with a longing desire t>'? nefit some one, and nffoid a small degree of comfort to some of his alHictod an I bereaved family.
