The Split in the Alliance.?The next issue of the National Economist, says a Memphis, Tennessee, dispatch of Sunday, will contain a manifesto from a faction of the Farmers' Alliance, appealing to the members of the order to repudiate the acts of the late Memphis convention by forming a new organization on a strictly non-partisan basis. . The manifesto is signed by J. F. Tillman, of Tennessee, who, along with his office, was "abolished," as far as the Alliance is concerned, at the Memphis convention. Mr. Tillman denouuees the men who now control the Alliance and reviews the origin and growth of the order, pointing out its original purposes, which, he declares, were in accord with the principles of the Democratic party, and which he, as a life-long Democrat, undertook to carry out and impress upon its members. j. * .1 iteiernng iu uuu ^icuiiiu^ iuc atuvu m iUG late national campaign, in which he is charged with treason to the Alliance by sending out under his official signature numerous documents appealing to the Alliance to be true to the Democratic teaching upon which it was founded, he said : "I conceived it a duty devolving upon me, both as general manager and director of the lecture bureau of the National Alliauce, and as an humble member of the Democratic party, to contribute to the success of a cause common to the interests of both. That literature sent out under my signature aided the Democratic party and contributed alike to the defeat of the Republican and Third party, and I have no doubt and freely admit in fact such were my desires, because the Third party in my State and other Southern States was allying with Republicans in its efforts to defeat Democratic principles." A call will be issued in a few days for a convention of the seceding faction, which will meet in Memphis or Atlanta some time during April. ? Ex-Sheriff John Walker, of Chester, died at his home in that place last Saturday, at the good old age of 79 years. THE THERMOMETER'S RECORD For the Week Ending January 24.?Observations by Mr. J. R.

White, ) Jno. L. Feemster, ^Committee. 1 Dr. B..C. Feemster, j j January 25 4 It Stick a Pin Here. ' When you suffer from loss of appetite, pain in the back and shoulders, bad taste in the mouth, coated tongue, loss of energy, etc., these symptoms are sure indications of a disordered state of the liver. The effect of Jackson's Black Pills in such cases is wonderful. They bring, speedy and certain relief. And Here Another. The season of the year is upon us when coughs, colds and pneumonia are contracted, and bronchial and other throat and lung troubles are aggravated. In all such cases use Campbell's Couch Cure. No family should be without a bottle always in reach. It has a larger home demand than any other medicine ever offered. Try it for croup?one to two doses gives relief. Try it for asthma?one or two doses will relieve the severest attack. Try it for a hacking cough?one dose will check it, and a bottle will cure it. Try it for a cold?a dose taken at the beginning of an attack will break it up. Try it for bronchitis?it allays the inflammation of the bronchial tubes and cures the disease. Try it for tightness in the chest, with pain and difficulty of breathing?it acts promptly and efficiently. In pneumonia it will be found of the greatest service in cutting short and curing the attacks. York Baptist Sunday-School Convention.

M(i< iHK ,V O?. Short Talks on Life Insurance, JJ Interesting to Every Family. The Wise Man is he who hopes for the Best, but prepares for the Worst. Such a preparation includes a provision for the welfare of Ills family in case of death. For such provision there is no substitute for Life Insurance. Take a Ten Years Distribution Deposit Policy in the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association of New York at about 50 per cent, of the usual cost if You Want the Best. You may be able to secure insurance today, and next week you may not be insurable on account of impaired health. A Foolish Man who carries no insurance on his buildings gets little sympathy when they are burned. How much worse the state of a family when Death has taken the bread-winner? ?. that is left with little property and no ready money. |W Any man can afford to carry A Ten Years Distribution Policy in the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Associa- Q tion. It only costs about one-half as much per $1,000 as the old line companies charge. * Cheap Insurance renders it possible for every man to provide for his family after his decease, and modern sentiment is very strong against a man who neglects his duty as husband and father, B when provision can be made at so slight a cost through a Ten Year Distribution Policy O 5? \rt,fi,al*T?oanrvn which in ' ... w.^ > 50 Within Your Means. .501 During the year 1892 the Mutual Reserve paid Two Million Seven Hundred and Five 12 [ Thousand Dollars to the widows and orphans and estates of deceased members, who, when 12 in health, had insured their lives. b * 12 Safe Insurance that can be bought at a low rate is sought by 6 men of all closes. | Wo offer insurance that is perfectly safe 25 and reliable at 50 per. cent of the usual cost, 25 thus enabling the poor man as well as the y rich to protect his family by safe insurance 50 at the ^2 Lowest Possible Cost. 12 If you are wise you will investigate the 12 claims of the Mutual Reserve. If'you in- 12 sure in any other company doing business jqq in this section, you will pay out twice as 25 much each year for each $1,000 of insuranee, and get 110 better, and probably not so 50 good, protection for your loved ones as you 5? would should you insure in the Mutual Re- 50 serve Fund Life Association. 50 a a 100 * 50 Cash iu Hand gg or funds immediately available, as furnished 50 by a Life Insurance Policy, proves a great jgg boon to the family while settling up the 50 affairs of the deceased, providing money for *j? theirsupport until a profitable disposition of 50 property can be made or probate laws com- 50 plied with. 50 None Better Than Ours. -j? ?)0 Hon.

ED JEFFERYS. i < \ THE CORBIN DISK HARROW. o It is the Best Labor Saving Fanning Implement in the World, and Will do More to Increase Crops and Reduce Cost of Production than any Farming Implement Ever Introduced. A GREAT deal has been said about the Corbin Disk Harrow during the past three years in the columns of The Enquirer. If it was anything else than what is claimed for it, the peo- ' Ele would long ago have branded it as a fraud. ut instead of being denounced it is endorsed and recommended as the greatest money saver and ntrni* intr/vliin/wl In thic OPn.tfoil hv Ulup 111V1 W*.7V/i V I VI ill?tvuuw\? ?? every farmer who has tested it, and there are scores of them. The following testimonials from well known farmers should, we think, be sufficient to convince even those who do not want to be convinced. Read and then act: Grover, N. C., J uly 10,1880. Sam M. Grist, Yorkville, S. C.: Dear Sir:?I have owned a 10-inch Corbln Disk Harrow for the past four years and have put it to every possible test and it has given entire satisfaction. I bad long felt the need of a harrow that would pulverize the soil thoroughly from four to six Inches deep, and realized that this could not be done by any drag or tooth harrow, for they only pulverize the surface, leaving many clods or lumps untouched, and these clods would be worked to the surface in cultivating the crop: and all lntelllSent farmers know that cloddy land does not give the est results. Hence the great importance of a Harrow that will pulverize the soil as deep as the plow goes. My Harrow will thoroughly pulverize to a depth of seven inches. 1 want nothing better in stalk land In putting in wheat or oats than the Corbin Harrow, for it not only does better work than a plow, but it Is so much faster, cutting six feet at a time, end all farmers know the Importance of saving time at the season when these crops are usually sown. I venture the assertion that no farmer who owns a Corbin Harrow would be without it for twice Its cost. Two great advantages the harrow possesses over most improved farming implements is its simplicity and durability. Any sleepy-headed free negro can operate It if he has sense enough to drive a wagon. I have prepared stubble land for planting, where there was no rocks or stumps, with my harrow, by harrowing it twice, crossing the first work with the last, as well or better than I have ever done with a plow. Much more might be said about the Corbin Harrow but I think I have said enough to induce farmers to inquire Into its merits. All who investigate will be converted. Very Respectfully, Felix H. Dover. Yorkville^ S. C., May 15,1890. Sam M. Grist, Yorkville, S. C.: Dear Sir?It gives me pleasure to add my testimony as to the worth of ^ TM-V. TT??n A /oiwvilniy Imnlomonf T um u;ruiu i/m& auHvn uo u uiumu6 i.U|/ivM.v..n . have used the Harrow purchased of you last fell for a variety of purposes, and In no single instance has It failed to do all that Is claimed for it by the manufacturers and by the farmers whose testimony you have already published. Lost fall I plowed a piece of ground on my place that was covered with weeds, and had also a considerable amount of wiregrass on it, and when the plowing was finished, it was exceedingly rough?in places the furrow would tufn for twenty- -d five or thirty yards without breaking. I then went to work with the Harrow, and after going over the ground two or three times, I had it In as good condition as an ordinary garden is after being spaded and raked, nnd I am now cultlvetlng this land and It Is still soft and mellow and easily worked. I also broke my cotton stalk land and then pulverized it and cut up the cotton stalks with the Harrow. I And a wonderful difference in working land that has been liar- % rowed and that which has not. The more I use my Harrow the better I like it. It Is my purpose to sow my small grain with it next fall, and for two reasons: First, I can sow It better, and. therefore, get better results ; and second, I can do it at about one-flftb the expense and In one-fifth of the time, as compared with the ordinary mode of sowing grain. No farmer can afford to be without the Corbln Harrow, and the sooner the farmers find this out the better. I would not take Ave times the cost of my Harrow for it and do without it. I shall be pleased to give my friends any further Information they may desire. Respectfully, R. H. Glenn. Groveb, N. C., May 15,1891. Mr. Sam M. Grlst, Yorkvillc, 8. C.: Hear Sir:?I bought a No. 7 Corbln Disk Harrow from you last October. The Arst time I saw it I pronounced It "a daisy." Now I pronounce it Indispensable. I would not sell It for double what it cost If I could not get another. I sowed all my wheat with It and It gave entire satisfaction. I The best prepared piece of land I ever saw was a piece of stubble bottom land turned last winter with an Oliver chilled plow and cut this spring with the Corbln Harrow. I also tried It on stubble land bottom that had not been broken and it was a success. It is actually the best forming implement I ever saw. With two mules and one hand I can do more work, and better work, than four mules and four hands In the old way. Clods and baked ground would soon be a thing of the past If farmers would all use the Corbln Disk Harrow to pulverize the land. To see one at work is sufficient to convince the most skeptical that It will do all that is claimed for It. One old gray headed farmer who saw me harrowing my stubblathat bad not been broke said, "I thought it was all talk about that harrow, but It will do." m Another former, and a good one too, said, "It anything I ever saw, and I want one to sow with this foil." After such a winter and spring as we have Just passed through, and the farmers are ull behind with their work, nothing saves tlmeand labor like a Corbln Disk Harrow. Respectfully, C. C. HUGHES. / clay Hill, S. c., March 10, 1892. Mr. Sam M. Grist, Yorkville, 8. C.: Dear Sir:?It Is with pleasure that I add my testimony as to the value of the Corbln Disk Harrow as a farming implement. I bought a No. 7,12 disk Hnrrow from you on the 18th of August, 1891, and am satlsAedthat it has already paid for itself by saving labor, and leaving out the fact that by no other means that I have ever tried or - j1 ?j 1. ?a i.a..a jtko.t t seen ineu, cuuiu sutu gwu ?vin.nu.v ?.' * have two small mules, and with them rcun go over Ave acres twice In a day, or I can put In as many oats or as much wheat In a day as any eight men and eight mules can by the old way of using a single-foot v plow; and the work done with the Harrow will be the best. The draft of the Harrow Is very light, especially when you take Into consideration the large^fcgyfj^^^^^ of work It docs. I would not take 9100 for irfy j unless I could get another Just like It. I could not afl'ord It. No farmer who buys and uses a Corbln Disk Harrow will ever again try to farm without it, and if he Is like myself he will always regret that he de- ^ layed buying ns long as he did. It is the best farming implement, I believe, that has ever been introduced in this State. Yours Truly, Henry F. Hoke. The time for sowing spring oats is near at hand. If you want to nave your crop put in as it should be, and thereby insure a larger crop than would otherwise be produced, you should have a Corbin Disk Harrow.
