The State AllianceTim Farmers' Alliance of South Carolina met ah Greenville on the 24th instant. The proceeding dur ng the d?y were largely devoted to discussions on various topics. The committee which was nppoin'ed to prepare the reports to he given out to the press gave out the following : The committee on legislative demands made a number of reenmineudatmns in line with ihe demands of the Nat:onal Alliance. The importance of pushing these demands was set forth, and it was nrged that no candidate be supported who is not in full sympathy with the demands made. The Secretary of the State and County Alliances were forbidden from hereafter giving out a frill directory of it- n i_. . l _..t. if _ na me iounty anu sun-wuance ouii-ers except bv permission of the president an ! chairman of the executive committee. An appeal wac ma *e io the Alliance members in the North and Norhwest to unite with the South Carolina Alliance, in condemning the Lodge bill; and requesting them to come to onr aid in preventing the passage of said bill, the intent and effect of which, we believe, will be not to benefit any class of citizens, but will serve to break the force of our united brotherhood in our demand for financial reform. Several amendments to the constitut'on were adopted. The sub treasury bill was endorsed, and it is the sense of the body that no candidate for Congress should receive onr support unless he favors that measure. The Alliance was positive in its opposition to national banks, and deniauded the removal of all tax on State 1 anks. ?uh an-1 County A'Hanoes were enJ ihed to take more uetlve interest in tin? schools of the country. The President urged upon the County and sub-^lUn'iQCs the importance of having their individual seal.
