Iob STRENGTH. OF THE ALLIANCE
Interesting h'att* About the Condition of tin
Order in the United State*.
Col. l>. P. Duncan, tlio secretary ot' th?
Sntiontl Farmers Alliance ha* just returne I
'rem I lie annual meeting of iliat body ai
L'opeku, Kan., ami he gives much informalioi
iboul the meeting ami ilto genosal coa lition
>f the order, as shown by the reports pre
len'eJ from the different States.
Co'. Duncan says that twenty-four Staten
the Union Wfre r?presented at the na
ional gathering byr thirty-6?? delegates. "t><
i vera! States rent in fn'l reports. N;>rtl
'aroliua reported a membership of
!>aid Up men. Col. Duncan says there lis:
jecti no real inceaso in lie membership o
he A1 iance viewed asa natienil older, lining
the past year, but that it has lienl iti
avu better titan they thought it would. .'
great many had g"iie into it expecting :
iiasty hnsincts revolution, lie says the A1
itance is now very strong in the I'ollowinj
Slates: North and South Carolina. Virginia
[jeorgia, Lou'sin'ut, Mississippi, Altbema
l'exas, Kentucky. Tennessee, Pennsylvania
Dhio, New Yotk. Indians, Michigan, Colo
ruda, South Dakota, California, Iowa, Mis
louri, Neb-a-ka, Kansas, Oklahoma, Utah
and Illinois. The.secretary says it is in tuuel
stronger and more healthy condition iu th
South than anywhere else. He says this i
due tnlliu fu t that in a lariro measure tiia
ilit Alliance ' ! '<u the
go int j the I'opulist party, us it did in tli
North and Wc?l. Some States thought thn
it was an order f r political purposes outy
hut now their id .-as have been changed, a
shown, liesivs. by tho following tuhlres
issued to the All Mice people of the country
t>y a committee oil tho good of tho order
of which the 10 v president, Marion lluiler
of North Carolina, was the chairman :
aiuutt.-s ro run ailiamk.
To the members of the N. F. A. and I. U.
aud to all whom it may concern :
Since the incep'ion of this grand urguiii
zatiou there have tieeu those who (hough
that when gouie p I ucal party champioue
our political demands, theti the missiot
of the organization was ended. I'his belie
is based 011 the belief that a political parn
will take care of the interests of the farmers
This is a fatal mistake. Desides, it i
proven by the acts of every other clisso
citizens (except politicians) that they do no
re'y 011 parties alone, but orgtuize fo
induction on any and i.ll parties.
K?ery wealth producer of America sli <uh
ever keep tlie following truths before him :
First?That sootier or liter all politic*
ivii-rioM are on >t l ulled bv liolit iciiins.
Second?Thtit |>o iticiuud never serve an;
cause or c'nss ul citizens trom a sense of jus
tice, but always through policy, fear or g*iu
Therefore the class of citizens reprvscute
by the Fartuera Alliance an I Industria
I'tiiou can nev! v 1. pc for or re ic
or justice from an," political parly, not evei
from one th it c aims to champion aiu
endorse its every principle ami demand
unless they maintain an organization tha
will ever stand as an effective support to tin
man and [arty that d iros to do right, and i
constant menace t>? those who dare uith
with the rights and libertiet of the people
Hence the Supreme Council solemnly warn
those who are trite to the principles of tin
Alliance that they would make a m > *
fatal mistake if they give up tho orgaui/.a
tion which is the only power tli vt can tore
these reforms through any i oli'ieal part;
and ifindce I we were living under a [ effect
lyjnst governe i to day, tlie organizuti t
would stdl be ab'olit tdy necessary as a gre a
moral force to keep it so.
1*nt our Supreme Council e.il s upon v i
to ever remember that the organization has :
great missi >u to pefotm cinside of politics
reform.
If the wealth pp dnccrs of America are ti
keep pac j w.th the m irch id* civilizitiot
they must d > i Ihrough social and intcllvc
tual contact. We hive not only grown ii
mind an 1 heurt by sitcli association an
contact, but we pool our intellect fo.* tin
mutual adv iiiecniont of our best interests
We desire po i'ieil r form to e able ii< a
carry out the mission.
Therefore, in cone it-ion. the .Sit roan
t' tiucil appeals u> .very one who belicv'
in the principles of the A- iauce to ?tatnl i.j
and extend the organiz itnui not only t
secure the benefits that e ours iVom organ:
zat'on, hut also to mike certain that soiin

CLASS RECEPTION.
. Pleasant Occasion a' the Xormal ami Coll yintc
Institute.
> Tho Normal toil Collegiate Institute was
I the scene, on Sa'urJay. of one of the p'easI
anient occasions in the history of tlie school
i ? a reception given by Mrs. Lawrence, wife
i of the president, in lienor of the class of 'ltd.
- ! About I o'c'ock the guests began arriving
i ami were welcome! to the school parlors by
< , the charming hostess ami the teachers, assis
I ltd by tho "sweet girl graduates" to be.
I j The expression "school parlor," however,
i ' docs uot rea lily suggest tho dainty liouic1
like rooms, tastefully, adorned with potted
s plants, into which visitors were ushered.
f After an informal half-hour spent in socisl
- commingling, and an introduction of the
j class hy Miss Mat'oon, associate principal of
i the school, the literary part of tho euterx
t unmctit was furnished hy the young ladies.
In a poem on tho class umtto, "Veritas vinl
cit," Miss Bessie Moody succeo led in skill,
fully conquering tho ditlicutties of rhyme
, and metre, a feat which many an older and
, ni ne ambitious poet has failed to accomplish.
A history and prophecy combine I,
- hy Miss I'.uiuio Allison, took sonic amusing
, liberties with tho future, and suggested that
i tho class motto might well have been "Unity
e in Diversity,"since it disclosed the fact that
s the c'ass is gathered from ?uch widely ret
mote regions as tho far away northwest and
1 tho i aimetto Wtni-, wiuio North Ctro.ina

1 The Governor's Iron I!and.?Governor
' Tillman is not given to retreating in the face
f of the etio.ny. He has begun this dispensary
war and there is no backing down in
3 hint. He wiil not even modify his opinion,
' or change his plana. He started out to
1 crush ?U opp aition to ihe dispensary law,
r even if the wholo military fore* of ihe State
lmd to ho evoked. In speaking of the brave
' and minly deeds of his valorous constables
at Well ford, he says:
' "1 deprecate, along with all law-abiding
men, the spirit of lawlessness and the spirit
y of inciting resistance to the law and magnify
and distort all efforts to enforce it into acts
of tyranuy an I blood-thirstiness. The dis'
pen ary law is not on trial as much as all
law and obedie?v?n to the recognized ehvi1
i:eis through which laws are enforced.
1 I invoko the moral support of alt good
' citizens, whs:her tliev are iti favor of the
> i dispensary law or not, to put dowu this
1 rebel ions spirit. 1 intend to put it dowu
p with an iron baud, but the collision between
* the constables, the sheriffs and other offcers
B of the law and the violators of the law will
be minimized if those who ought to know.
s and do know, bolter would seek to disB
courage the lawless e'emeuts of soe'ely in
' this resistanco. '
Of course the Governor does not include
e any Conservativei amongst what he caMs
v "law ndiding" men, an I when he invoke
the moral support of all good ci izens" he
1 dors ii >t uican the "enemies, nioco isins and
1 dogs' that have opp/so 1 him all al ing. as
lie says M<? would not take suggestions or
1 support from tlieni. The words and opin
1 iou- of Constables Flint an I M isscv* will
1 Itnvc a It it ud re i f >M more weight with the
I Governor than nil the dignified conserva0
! live, sober law abiding men of Spartanburg
' I aonii'v wh i do not "sympathize with the
uiovcmunt.
1 Tlie sitpp ?rt needed by tlio constables is
' Mich as was givin at Wellford. Several
i in n were induced by them to go int >
' M 'ore's house and beg liitn out of some
> j whiskey and then invito b in into the deith
I trap set for It in i'liat is the sort of moral

| not lend tlieie ail an I inline ice in tliis k 11'
; ing business. If they do n t end irsc it and
' c 111 the constables brave, loyal gentlemen
when they sli ot down a poor fellow, then
; the Governor sirs they are eucouriging
: \w es-ness. Let the "iron hand" do i s
1 j bloody and vindictive work I.et all men

FAST FALLS THE EVENTIDE.
t y
I'ant falls the owentlilo, Mis so,
The words were uttered soft anil low,
The pull id choek. the furrowed brow,
The locks all white with winter's snow?
Tmsht these, alms, they testify
Tlio evening of my Jay is nigh
I <1 i<l not think at dawning day
So swift tlie morn would fly away;
Nor did Idroani at regal noon
That eventide would collie so soon.
I did not eveu think to be
So old anil lie I |>los? as you see.
It seemed at tnorii so very far
Kre I should reach tlic evening star;
At noon i still felt young and strong,
All full of hope, all full of song,
Aim! ami aweinod even tnr away
Unlit I felt its withering sway.
AIxs! I liiul small space between
The morning with its shine and sheen.
And evening witli its gloomy shade.
With all its load of hopes decayed,
Ah! heart, the truth I cannot hide,
Around uie falls the eventide!
I've almost reached the river's brink?
The cold,dark stream from which we shrink.
Hope promised much, hut little gave,
>ly forward look is death, the grave;
But there's a promise I have heard
1'liat in my need doth aid afford?
A richer promise I can say
Than any of my earlier day.
It soothes my heart like healing Italin,
It tills my soul, it makes me calm,
It stieiigthens all my failing sight.
Not like the radiant light of morn.
When day and hop* aiv g.iyly horn,
That fades tut quickly f?e>! -I;:?",
We weep in sorrow and surprise,
lint this will li,'ht my pathway through
Ti l 1 begin life's day anew. .

The Grttnville Xftvs suggests thai Governor
Tilliuan by proclamation deolare a "olose
sea-ou" during which it will be unlawful
for the spies to shoot people. Fron the
first of March until laying-by time they
uug'nt not to he sum down. Then between
laying-by time and fodder-pulling the constables
might enjoy their sport, but in gathering
time there should be no killing. That
is a good suggestion aud we hope the governor
wi 1 carry it out. We also hope tit it
ho wi 1 issue an order preventing "et 11
hunting." The old huntors tell how, long
ago, they w: u'd go out with torches an!
shine the eyes of a doer in the night and in
a most quiet and adroit manner got close
enough to him fir a skilled mtrkstnan to
plug him between bit eyes. Wo believo
such cruel hunting was prevented by sia ute.
Now the Governor ought to show the
same kind foG'tag towards his fel ow cit 7.0ns
and give tlietn the sains protect on as
is extended to the doer. Let this * st 11
hunting" with lanterns censo. It is unftir
and docs not give the roan hunted the shalow
of a chance to escape.?Spartan.
