The follow ing gentlemen were placed in nomination for President. Mr. Sligh's candidacy being a complete surprise: Senator W. D. Evans, of Malb:>ro; Hon. M. L Don aldson, of Greenville; W. J. Bowden, of the Cotton Plant ; Col. D K. Norris, of Abbeville, and J. A Sligb, of Newberry. Mr. Donaldson w*s nominated by a handsome majority on the second ballot. The new president of the Alliance wts born irr~ Gr?fenville county forty-eight years ago. He fought in , the war in Hugh Aiken's frixth Cavalry, Butler's brigade, as a lieutenant in Capt Joe Sul livan's company, and made a gallant &ol dii r . After the war he settled in Green viire^where he went to farming and has made\great success of it. He appeared in the political arena in the f<ll of 1884, whm he was fent to the Legislature. He served two terms and then succeeded Governor Mauldin in the Senate, which position be still holds. In December, 1889, wbea the State Alliance Exchange was established, he was placed in charge, and he ran the exchange successfully un til he resigned last year, when the Ex change was moved to this city. The. general opinion among the Alliaocemen seems to be that they have got the best man for president. * The following are the other officers elected : Vice President? W. D. Evans, Ben nettsville.

As far as can be asc<?iained the lectur ers in all the districts were all re-elected. Dull Tims Figures. Richard H. Edmonds, of Baltimore, gives i* the August number of the Forum some account of the present resource* and recent progress of the South. The rec ord is one which every Southerner will read with pride and . every other Ameri can should rejoice in. We can take only a few of the molt striking passages in that record. The South produced 535, M2-.000 bushels of orn in 1891, a gain of about 75 per cent, over the production in 1881- The gain in. cotton, production wa? about the same, from 5,456,000 bales io 1881 to nearly 9,000,000 bales last year. The gain in railioads is even more remarktble. Ten years ago the South had 38,000 miles of railroad; now it has about 45,C>00, a gtfin of nearly 90 per cent , and the increase in the number of passengers and the amount of freight car ried ha* been enormous. Between 28. 000,000 and 24,000,000 tone of co%L^ex^T mined in the South in 1801 . onTv aborifc 6,000,000 in 1881. The value of exports from Southern ports has increased from $257,535,401 to $349,801,999, a gain of 3 f> per cent., which ip nearly five times the gain made at the other ports of the United States. The Southern output of iron is nearly 325 per cent greater than in 1881. The gain in manu'acturing and banking and al* branches of business hte been great. The assessed value of property is nearly two billions greate* than iu 1881. richmond"terminal f The Pennsylvania Railroad En ew>av oring to Secure .Control. N*w Yoak, N. Y.? The Richmond Terminal advisory commit'ee of seven met and authorized Chairman Strong to appoint cpmmittees of three to represent the6aud5jer ceDt. bondholders, re spectively.

David Johnson, a spruce old colored man of Poinfret street, who was on a big Southern plantation "befo1 de wah,M is teaching his neigh bors that cotton may be grown in Con necticut as successfully as "way dovrn South in Dixie. w David is gar.'ener for Benjamin Grosveooj and has a little farm of his own at Pomfret Street, lie had been trying vainly for several years to make people believe his colofc^theory, and th s year has verified it by growTng cotton on his farm. His crop is a small one, but it looks splendid. Johnson, who tencled thousands of *cres of; cotton is the Sooth, says that his Pomfret Street I plants art quite as luxuriant and jpromis | ing as any that are raised in Dixie.

Thia gorge was wedge shaped, much like an immense V. reversed. it was fully ao eighth of a mile in width at the summit and gradually widened to t>>ree-quarter? of a mile at the bue. The snow at the crest of. the gorge at the top of the mountain lay in strata, there being one deposit in an immense cup-like Assure hundreds of feet in depth. On one side of ttSs fissure the strata are sharply de nned, eaoh*repreaenting the accumulation of a single year, .the lowestiSand most ; dense approaching the blue color of ice. About half a mile downward from the summit the three gorges heretofore de scribed as containing immense deposits of snow, center io one common channel and debouch into the main -oge. At" the point of juncture there were indica tions that at some long-past period the smaller channel hid been an active ! glacier. Both sides of the main eonre i were observed closelv, and investigation revealed the existence of lateral moraines formed of eirthy matter which had been etame-l from the mountain sidtfs.and fallen upon the surface ? of moving snow and ice.
