raised in Dougherty County, was sold at
public auction on July 27, in front of
the Cotton Exchange, in New York, at
? -.seven cents per pound.

Tillman was thereby placed at great dis
advantage. If the men who were allow*
ed to hear the discussion were already in
favor of the sub-treasury scheme, and un?
alterably so, why the discussion at all ?
The Alliance made a mistake in that
move, and one that can be seen by mem?
bers as well as by outsiders. Wasn't it
done because President Stokes, etc., pre?

they shall think, believing he can most
successfully do this by choking off debato,

their mandates where his conscience tells

weighted down with leaders who are more
politicians than Alliancemen. We sup?
pose no one doubts Governor Tillman's
sincerity in opposing the sub-treasury.
We still think he would unhorse Terrell
in a free fight, and think Terrell and his
friends showed the white feather by in?
sisting on a private discussion.
a cotton congress.
The State Alliance passed the following
resolutions at the meeting in Spartanburg
last week:
We, the undersigned, the committee to
whom that portion of the president's ad?
dress relating to the cottom problem was
referred, beg leave to submit the follow?
ing report:
Whereas, Fully appreciating the fact,
as we do, that cotton is the chief money
crop of the Southern farmers, and,
whereas, the increase in the annual pro?
duction of this staple has been so large
and rapid until we are confronted with
the fact that the price of said product
has declined until it is hardly equal, if
not less, than the cost of production to
the average farmer; therefore be it
Resolved, That we, members of the
State Alliance of South Carolina, assem?
bled in annual session, do recommend
and urge the holding of a cotton conven?
tion in the city of Atlanta, commencing
on the first Wednesday in September
nest.
Second, That the subjects to be con?
sidered at this meeting are hereby par?
tially suggested.
The acreage?Can it be regulated and
controlled?
The gathering and handling of the crop
on the farm?Canfit be improved ?
The shipping, grading and selling of
our staple?Can it be so regulated and
adjusted as to do equal justice both to
producer and consumer?
That this State Alliance hereby extends
a cordial invitation to each State Alliance
of the Cotton States to be represented at
this convention; for unless the entire
cotton interest is represented, this pro?
jected convention and its objects will be
in vain. That representation is cordially
invited from all other agricultural asso?
ciations. That the colored Alliances of
the Cotton States are invited to send rep?
resentation from each State organization.
These resolutions are pointing in the
right direction, and we hope the cotton
States will send representatives. Such
conventions are likely to develop ideas
and planB that* are both practicable and
beneficial.
The Secretary is instructed to extend
an invitation to all cotton growers to
participate in said convention. The fol?
lowing commissioners were elected by tbe
State Alliance to extend this meeting ;
Charles Crosland, of Marlboro; J. A.
Sligh, of Newberry; D. P. Duncan, of
Union. Alternates: T. B. Stackhoute,
and J. ?. Jarnigan, both of Marion.
Bulling the Wheat Crop.
St. Paul, Minn.,, July 23.?St. Paul
has been made the headquarters of the
national movement by the United Far?
mers' Alliances of the country, to corner
the entire wheat crop of the United
States. At 317 Wabash street, for several
days, a large force of employees have
been engaged in sending out. circulars
wkh a view of having not only the Al?
liance men of the United States, but all
classes of farmers, keep back the wheat
crop until prices have been advanced to
a high point.
The Alliance Press bureau, the Beform
Press bureau, and the State Press bureau
are working together, endeavoring to
unite the farmers of the United States in
a gigantic Wheat Trust. At the head of
the movement which has its headquarters
in St Paul, is George M. Muller, editor
of the Stats, and a prominent Alliance
man. A circular reciting the benefits of
combination and urging the formation of
a ''Trust" has been made public. The
circular estimates the wheat crop of 1891
in the United States at 500,000,000 bush?
els. The promoters of the scheme believe
that four-fifths of the wheat can be held
back by farmers for from four to eight
weeks and high prices secured.
Washington, July 23.?H. W. Ayer,
secretary to President Polk, of the Far?
mers' Alliance, and manager in this city
of the "Beform Press Bureau," which is
also known as the "Alliance Press Bu?
reau," said this afternoon that the work
of sending ont circulars to show the far?
mers of the country that it was to their
advantage to hold back the wheat crop
was actively proceeding in this city as
well as in St. Paul, Minn., which was
chosen as one of the seats of operations
because of its location in tbe great wheat
belt.
Ayer said that there have already been
400,000 of these circulars Bent out from
Washington, and that during the next
few days an average of 100,000 a day wijl
be mailed until more than a million of
circulars are issued. The circulars, he
Baid, will also be published in about 2,000
weekly papers with which the bureau is
connected. He remarked that he could
not say, of course, that it was the circular
which had brought about the result, but
he had noticed in a recent market report
that as a matter of fact the actual move?
ment of wheat was 140 carloads less per
day than had been estimated.
Ayer said that information that the is?
sue of such a circular by Alliance men
was in contemplation became public pre?
maturely about two weeks ago, when the
circular in course of preparation was
published in a newspaper. The final de?
cision to issue the circular had not at that
time been reached, and many leading
Alliance men were unaware of it, but it
had since been finally determined on.
He explained that the executive com?
mittee of the Alliance had not acted on
this matter, and that by tbe circular no
order was given to Alliance men to hold
back their crop, this being contrary to
the methods of the Alliance. What is
done by this circular is to give farmers
information as to facts in regard to the
world's wheat crop, with a suggestion
that wheat, some weeks later than now,
will bring a higher price.
Starvation in Texas.
Bio Grande City., Texas, July 23.?
The destitution on both sides of the Bio
Grande for hundreds of miles is appalling.
For three years a continuous drought,
except in this (Starr) county, where a
tolerable crop was raised, has caused
many deaths from actual starvation, and
at Starr Station the people are despairing.
The ranks of the professional murder?
ers and bandits will be swelled by those
driven to crime by hunger. In Browns?
ville and Matamorss beggary was never
greater nor the means to relieve the poor
less. It IB too late for a Fall crop and
I the prospect is dismal.
In Hidolgo county cattle are daily dy
j icg from want of grass and water. In
Cameron and Starr Counties they are
fast reaching that condition.
Last year a petition went up to Gov?
ernor Boss from a border county showing
the terrible want of its people. No reply
was given. In this County over one
hundred horses have been stolen from
the Aqua Nueva tract within a few weeks,
and many others have been stolen in
other parts of the county.
The robbery of J. L. Hyne's 3tore, near
Brownsville, within the past week, is
looked on by old timers here as the pre?
lude of many of like nature.?New York

they were struck by lightning and killed.
Litchfield, Ky., July 23.?A disas?
trous explosion occurred yesterday after?
noon on the farm of James Durbin, in
Edmonston County. The boiler of a
steam thresher exploded when surround?
ed by men and quickly transformed a
plessant harvest scene into one of terror
and death. Three men were instantly
killed by the flying debris and escaping
steam and five others were perhaps
fatally injured.
Punta Gorda, Fla., July 21.?Miss
Lee Ritchie shot and mortally wounded
Howard R. Bivins late last night, at her
home, and then endeavored to take her
own life, and would have done so, only
the pistol would not go off again. She

self. Both were highly connected and
social favorites.
St. Louis, July 23.?This afternoon,
George Anderson, a saloon keeper of this
city, walked across the street to where
Dennis Ryan, a rival saloon keeper, was
standing, and drawing a revolver, shot
Ryan through the heart, killing him in?
stantly. Anderson then retraced his steps
to the rear of his saloon, where he fired
three shots into his head, blowing out his
brains. No cause is known for the mur?
der and suicide. The men were appa?
rently good friends.
Platteville, Wis., July 27.?The
cylinder mill of the Lawflin Rand Pow?
der Compauy, in which 300 kegs of pow?
der were in process of making, was
blown np this morning, completely de?
molishing the building and causing the
loss of one life. John Long, who had
charge of the mill, was at his post at the
time, and though diligent search has
been made, a small portion of his skull
is all that has been found of his remains.
It is supposed that his whole body was
blown to atoms.
Waterloo, Iowa., July 26.?Just
after noon yesterday, Misses Bertha and
Mary Thompson, daughters of A. G.
Thompson, of Cedar Falls, were drowned
in Cedar River, a short distance from
that city. They had been camping with
friends, and yesterday afternoon went
in bathing alone. Bertha got beyond
her depth and sank immediately, when
Mary went to her assistance and both
were drowned. The girls were 16 and 18,
respectively, and the grief-stricken pa?
rents are left childless. Both bodies
were recovered.
Wheeling, W. Va., July 26.?While
'a crowd of picnickers were enjoying
the music of the Mandolin Club, An?
drew Height came up with a shotgun,
and Joseph Payner took it from him, at
the same time asking if it was loaded.
Height said it was not, and Payner point?
ed it towards the crowd and snapped it.
The gun was discharged, and Miss Sarah
McGowan caught most of the contents
in her face, and died in ten minutes.
George Wentyll will lose one of hia eyes,
and his face is badly torn, and Miss Kate
McKinney was wounded in the hip.
Fort Gatnes, Ga., July 26.?Just
over the line, iu Alabama, there lives a
negro who was ordered by a farmer to
"lay-by" a piece of corn. The negro
assented and proceeded to the place, and
on his arrival, tied the mule to a stump,
and lay down in the hot buu by the first
row. He didn't report at dinner, and
the farmer went over to see what was
the matter, and when he approached
the negro, he saw him lying out in the
sun, the perspiration almost running
from him in a stream. He inquired of
the negro what he was lying there for,
and he replied: "Boss, didn't yer tuck
an' tole me ter lay by die corn ? Aiut
I tuck an' roller yer 'structions ?"
Greenville, S. C, July 24.?This
city and county is indignant over the ver?
dict in the case of James B. Williams,
who killed Maj. W. A. Williams. Strong
talk was indulged in by the good people
and there was talk of an indignation
meeting. Very few bad expected a ver?
dict for anything lees than of man?
slaughter. To-day and last night Wil?
liams walked the streets a free man and
held street receptions to his friends. The
members of the jury were censured pub?
licly to-day, and one citizen went so far
as to tell one of them that the whole panel
ought to be lynched. The people are in
such -a frame of mind that violent
measures may be resorted to in the
future
Greeville, Pa., July 26.?This morn?
ing while Rev. J. 0. Sculler was deliver?
ing hia sermon in the United Presbyte?
rian church, a sudden storm arose, and
the high steeple was struck and badly
shattered by a thunderbolt. There were
over three hundred people in the
church, and a panic followed that was
only quelled by the pastor and other cool
heads, demanding that no rush be made
for the door. Many women screamed
and fainted when the blinding flash was
followed by the crashing of the steeple,
but outside of several slight shocks no
one was injured. The congregation then
joined in prayer and thanksgiving for
their marvelous escape, and were dis?
missed with a tremulous benediction.
Evansyill, Ind., July 26.?The most
distinct shock of earthquake ever felt
here occurred at 8.28 this evening. It
was preceded by a noise like distant thun?
der, A moment later a violent quaking
occurred, lasting severol seconds. The
motion was lateral, apparently from north
to south. Windows rattled and buildings
swayed perceptibly. The populace fled
in affright into the streets. Every open
store in the business centre and private
residence were emptied of their oc?
cupants. Congregations at all the
churches rushed pell mell into the streets
without waiting for the benediction.
Serious panic occurred at several
churches. At the First Baptist a number
of children fell down the steps and were
hurt, none dangerously. No fatalities
yet been reported.
Thomson, Ga., July 26.?Mr. Jule
Boyd, of this country, was surprised a
few days ago when one of his cows came
home without her tail. His first thought
was that somebody had cut off this use?
ful appendage in cruel sport; but, when
he went to the woods where the animal
had been grazing, and instituted an in?
vestigation, he changed opinion. He
found the cow's tail hanging to a tree,
and .the manner of the singular accident
was quite apparent. While grazing near
the tree and lashing her tail at the pes?
tiferous flies, it caught to a tree. Finding
herself fast, the animal made trouble
worse by going around the tree until she
was wound up like a clock. Then the
innocent creature became alarmed, then
frantic. She tore up the soil in her
efforts to escape, and finally broke loose.
But the tail came off close up to the cow
and remained with the tree.
He Would Accept.
Detroit, Mich., July 23.?The Trib?
une publishes the following: "Captain
William A. Gavitt, of this city, yester?
day received an important letter from J.
H. Manley, of Augusta, Me., in response
to a letter written by him on the 18th
instant. The subjects of inquiry on the
part of Mr. Gavitt were the health of
Secretary Blaine and his attitude respect?
ing the earnest desire of a multitude of
his admirers in the Republican party
that he become its standard bearer in IS 92.
The replies are especially significant
when it is remembered that Mr. Manley
has for years been a warm personal
friend and political confidant and adviser
of the distinguished Secretary of State.
In effect Mr. Manley asserts that Mr.
Blaine's health is almost fully regained,
and that he will return to Washington in
the fall with all hiB vigor and strength,
both of mind and body.
He further states that Mr. Blaine
cannot became a candidate for the Be
publican nomination, but that, in his
opinion, if the Republican party wants
him for its standard bearer in 1892, all it
has to do is to nominate him, and he will
accept.

A Cliarcli Squabble.
Lebanon, Ind., July 25.?An impor?
tant suit, which involves the rights of a
large body of Churches in the United
States, has been decided in Boone circuit
court by Judge Hill. Mount Tabor
Church, six miles south of Lebanon,
which was organized in 1835, was koown
as a regular Baptist Church and conform?
ed to the viewB of that organization. Two
or three years ago part of the congregation
departed from the original articles of faith
adopted and decided to become more lib?
eral in their mode and teachings.
This move was bitterly opposed by the
other portion of the Church, who, how?
ever, were greatly in the minority. The
majority immediately expelled the mem?
bers who did not agree with the new or?
der of things. The minority, however,
was recognized by the Danville associa?
tion to be the regular Baptist Church,
but the other faction refused to submit to
the decision of the association. The ma?
jority being in possession of the Church
property, and defying the Church author?
ities, the minority brought suit for eject?
ment. The trial has been hotly contested.
A large amount of money has been
spent, and witnesses in the Church gov?
ernment, from far and near, have testified.
The court ruled that the minority, having
held to the articles of faith as originally
adopted, are the rightful owners of the
Church property, and should be put in
possession thereof.

? In two-thirds of a century but one
man has been renominated for the Vice

one of the most striking and picturesque
characters of his time. He had been a

for many years before reaching the Vice

New York city and other places away
from home. He looks after the funeral

the newspapers, afterwards pasting them
in a scrapbook for the friends, and
gives the reporters all the facts about
the deceased, thereby, taking this usual

the reforms demanded are to be brought
about by breaking up the democratic

the strength and efficiency of an organiza?

trolled by it. Such a movement would
have neither reason nor common sense be?
hind it, for when the democratic party of
the south is weakened the Alliance is
weakened in the same proportion, and its
hopes of success postponed. There is no
gainsaying this proposition. There is no
hope outside the democratic party for
the success of the reforms which the peo?
ple are demanding. This is the common

its abiding place.?Atlanta Constitution.

We are having plenty of rain at this
time. Crops are growing finely, especially
corn. If nothing befalls the corn crop in
this section there will he enongh?more
than enough?to supply the demands of
the people in this section. Cotton, as a
general thing, is sorry. Some will not
much more than pay for their guano, while
others have pretty fair crops of cotton,
where it has been properly cultivated.

Mr. W. J. Hix, who has been confined
to his room for the past five or six months,

be able to make a trip to Walhalla two or
three weeks ago, is now lying critically ill
at his son-in-law's, Mr. J. W. Shelor.
Mrs. LulaEarle, wife of Mr. J. R. Earle,
Jr., is very sick at this writing. We hope
she will soon recover.
We had a little runaway last week. Dr,
J. L. McCurry hitched his horse to a tree
in his yard, and shortly afterwards Col.
Wm. Holland drove up in his top buggy
and left his horse stau ding near by, grazing
around. Col. Holland's horse backed the
top buggy against that of Dr. McCurry,
whereupon the Doctor's horse took fright
and ran into the stable, breaking both
shafta and badly breaking ore wheel, tear?
ing loose from the buggy. No other dam?

LEAVING ANDERSON I
LEAVING ANDERSON I
LEAVING this beautiful and healthy City, with its delightful climate,
and tho prosperous and fertile country that surrounds it, thickly populated
with a warm-hearted, generous and liberal-minded peoplo, is certainly a hard
pill for me to swallow, but circumstances have so ordained it, when I thought
the winter of my declining years would be spent in this paradise of health
and prosperity; but now, with heavy tread and downcast spirits, I must and
am compelled by the combined wishes of my partners to seek new fields of
conouest.
I have to go to Augusta, Ga., to open a large Wholesale and Retail
House, -which will require all my undivided attention from this time forward.
Now, in order to avoid paying large local freights from here to Augusta,
we have determined on?
A GREAT SLAUGHTER SALE,
And we will sell every article of our immense stock for any price that is in
the neighborhood of cost. Remember, WE MEAN WHAT WE SAY?
prices will be literally slaughtered for the next thirty days.

20c. Towels for 12Jc.

60c. Linen Damask for 35c.

We are badly overstocked in Shoes?iu Children's in numbers 10,11,13
and 1; in Ladies 3, 3*, 4 and 41; Men's 7, 8 and 9. These Shoes we will
sell at 75c. on the dollar of what they cost. Russet Shoes and Slippers at half

at 7c. 10c. Outing Suiting at 7c.
Odd Coats, Vests and Pants, slightly scorched by fire and discolored by
smoke, that will be sold at less than half the cost of the cloth.
All and every article to be found in a first-class Dry Goods, Clothing and
Shoe Store will be sacrificed rather than ship the goods from here.
Six Show Cases, one Platform and one Counter Scales, and three first
class Combination Iron Safes will be sold at half New York cost. Every
person having valuable papers should have one in his house.
Now, we want it distinctly understood that Ladies or Gentlemen drawing
up to our Store, either in a Carriage, Buggy, Cart or Wagon, will receive
prompt and courteous attention. Polite and respectful attention to the Ladies
is always the duty of a gentleman nil the world over, which is and has been
the case in all the Stores that the undersigned has ever had the management.

price, and in order to keep up with the
