Notice was given of a special meeting of the County Alliance to be bel t in the court house ou Stturdny next at noon, to discuss a proposition to be brought to the stteution of the members, which is considered of vital importance. The company now intends to establish its exchnugc and bank. The promoters?at lea-t one of the leading ones ?says that the \ organization, while s'riolly a farmers' ouc is strictly outside the Alliance. They don't HK care to mix witli that body, for, says the amy gentlemam, "The Alliance cannot last as a Br beneficial organization but two er tbreo years E mere, unless it gets out of politics." They, therefore, will ruu a company in the interest In, of the farmers, hut it will be outside the Alliancs. ? The Shite.

About Women.?The " Girl of hi" has ouo bad habit which she should at once correct?i.e. thobabit of permitting her escort to seize her arm instad of playing the part oT the well bred gentleman and gallantly offering her the courtesy if not the support of his own arm. It is one of the commonest experiences to see men propelling women along the side-walk by the elbow. No.v ibis is indisputable evidence of lack of breeding on the man's part and a lamentable lacs of self-assertion on the worn in'.* part. No right spirted girl will permit such j cheap familiarity. It is ridiculous to see a man le ining on a woman's arm unless he is an inva'id and it is no less r.diculous to xvay to suggest that she is about to have a faint ng spell and in duigtr of collapsing if he docs not support her with alt his strength.?

It is uuclerstood that reliable charges will be preferred against Livingston by a committee, of which Governer Northen is a member, and that if the c invention, through Livingston's influence, refuses to hear those charges, they will go from the convention before the people.

Rilerbe, an elaborate and able opinion in tha case of the application of the Newberry Cotton Mill for a refunding of tbe tax paid by that Mill uodcr the law of 1873 exempting manufactories from taxation for a period ot 10 years. Wo have not room for Hie whole opinicn, nor would it bo scry interesting reading to our readers, but the Columbia Correspondent of the New? and Courier, iiitreduces it to the readers of that paper thus : "The case briefly stated Is tlint the Newberry Mills were incorporated under the Act of 1873, which provided for its exemption froin taxation for a period of ten years. Jly Act of the Legislature in 1882 tbis Act was repealed, hence all the trouble. The opin'on of Mr. Townscnd, which is in favor of the rndls, is full, plain and minute iu dotail, and rehearses the status of the case from the passage of the Act of 1873 to the presold disposition." # Thj Qradad School and Building Notwithstanding the very unfavorable weaiher groitlv retarded*tin work at the commencement, ro are pleased to state that the contple loa of the building for our Graded Senool is not many weeks off. Mr. Grant, tho contraotr, has done all that man could do, undor the trying ciroumstance*, to fill hie contract to tho letter, in time and quality of work, and if the completion is delayed a week or bo, it will not be from any fault of his, and when finiahel it Will be great credit to his industry and skill as n workman, as well as an honor to the liberality and enterprise of the citizens of tho town. It will certainly be abandsinie building, aduiirab'y arranged, with all tbe convent- , cnc-s and c nnl'oris of modern schod building'. We only wish it cju'd have been located where it could be better soon by stratijer* as they pass through town, or at any rt'e iu more public view. The above was in typo when the Trustees brought in tho advertisement announcing that tlioy bad elected Prof. Robe t Morris>n recently of Camden, as 1'riocipat, and that the school will be opene 1 on tho 14th of September. Trof. Morrison comes to us with an cstabliflte I reputation as an olucator, nnd uu lor his d scipline there can bo no douht of tbe solid success of tho School. The patrons of the School &ra to be congratulated upon the fact that the teaching of their children has devolved upon one s > worthy their confidence nnd support. We shall take oceassion to say more oa this matter next. week. In tho meantime we would impress one truth upon the minds of the patrons of the school: If you would have n good school you must unite in holding up the hands of the teacher and help hint maintain his authority. If the Trustees are as foriunnto in selecting a principal for the School as they were in selecting their contractor, the Union Grade I School will confer untold benefits upon every interest of tho town, and will be a grand atttne i in for strangers to settle among us to secure for their children tho superior advantages our cduoational facilities will offer.
