Convention issued by Chairman Hoyt,

The County Chairman win in due
time direct the reorganization of the
Clubs and the open’ng of the campaign.
But before that time comes it would be
' ' '
well for every club to have one or two
informal conferences to discuss the sit

that the good example set by Chairman
Izlarbe followed generally and meet
ings be held on the 30th inst. to consider
the last circular of the County Chair
man. That will be work enough for
one meeting If well dene.

of the State Democratic executive com

county chairmen in the State:
‘•Dear8ir: A Cooventhm of the.Dem
ocratic party of South Carolina will as
semble at Columbia on Wednesday, the
lOthday of September, 1800, at lio’cTbSk
M., in the hail of tiie House of Repre
sentatives, to nominate candidates for
State officers and to transact such other
business as the Convention may deem
proper.”
"The number of delegates elected by
each county will be equal to double the
representation to which such county is
entitled in both branches of the General
Assembly. The county chairmen of
the several counties In this State will
proceed to have the Democratic clubs
in their counties reorganized, and to
take such steps as are necessary to car
ry our the call and for the election of
delegates to the State Convention.”
"•*rt 1srespectfully suggested that the
election of delegates to the county con
vention be postponed wherever practi
cable until after the meetings of the re
spective counties, under their, arrange
ment for a preliminary campaign of the
State. It is the sense of tiie State exe
cutive committee, as expressed by a
resolution adopted on the 8th lust., that
delegates to the State Convention
should not be elected until after the
cbnte of the preliminary campaign,
which is to end ou the 5th day of Au
gust.”
Accompanying the above call for the
Convention is another circular letter,
presenting the plan of the preliminary
campaign suggested by the executive
committee In accordance with the pro
visions of the constitution of the party.
After naming the dates indicated for
holding the meetings at the various
county seats, the committee says:
“Your attention is directed to the
fact that these appointments cover the
entire State and that they hav.e been
arranged to the best advantage con
sistent with the time allowed for tho
campaign. If the date selected for
ytmr comity needs to be changed for
any urgent reason it will necessarily
carry your meeting to the end of the
list, as it is impracticable „tp make
changes any other way. Tlease notify
the chairman at once in regard to the
date fixed, whether or not it Is accepta
ble, and address him at Greenville.
"The State executive committee fur
ther provided that, in the conduct of
these meetings, each county executive
committee will take full charge of their
respective meetings, and while it is
obligatory to invite ‘all candidates for
State officers,’ to use the exact lan
guage of tne constitution, there is no
prohibition against other Democrats

After a free conference, parting

We publish to-day an address to the

New Forest Alliance, do endorse the
Sub-Treasury plan as adopted by the St.

plan enil>oriied and set fortli in a certain
bill now pending in’Congress; therefore
be it • •
Resolved, That we, the members of
New Forest Alliance do most earnestly
entreat our Senators and Representa
tives iu Congress to use their constant
endeavors to make the same a law.
"Resolved, That we indorse the action
of the March Convention and pledge our
united support to its nominee, Capt. B.

That those of us w ho are‘subscribers
to the News and Courier, of Charleston,

Brethren, let us drop the Charleston

We expect to use cotton bagging as cov

same. We are all true Tillman men.

we published a clip
g from an address of President Ma
gill, of the Kershaw’ County Alliance
advising the sub-Alliauee lecturers to
frequently read and explain the “De-
claration Of principles,” for the reason
that many members have no copies of
them and no other opportunity to learn
and fully understand the aimsandeni
of tiie order. Many sub-Alliances In
this State and County have rakeu imliti-
cal action contrary to the judgment of
President Stackhouse, Lecturer" Ben
Terreli r Organizer Elder, Capt. Ben
THhnan and other"’prominent Alliance
men. They have done so aim ply because
they have had a different understand
ing of tiie character of tho Alliance.—
Tiie sub-Afthmce officers should see to
it thupthe order “keeps iu the road.”
For we must remember that we wTT
have use for the Alliance w hen tliepre
sent political campaign is over and its

Alliance is not to measure its work hy

ricultural interests of the country shall
be fully and finally redeemed and disen

The necessity is forced upon me to
call your attention to the constitution
of our order Tiie action of certain
Alliaiicesln this county endorsing tiie
March Convention, a political body,
and certain men for political office, is
plain violation of the obligation eacli
member took when he joined tiie order,
to support the constitution, which re
quires us “To labor for tiie education
of the agricultural classes in tiie science
of economical government in a strictly
non-partisan spirit.’* Are we ready to
forget our honor and sacrifice our ins
ble order in our political zeal, acting
the part of tiie zealot and partisiii in
violation of our solemn obligation*
Surely brethren u|K)n reflection, you
will call a halt. To persist in this
jourse, can but terminate in tiie de
struction of ail our hopes, "To develop
a better state, mutually, morally, soci
ally and fitfancially,*’ and "to suppress
persona), local, sectional and national
prejudices; all unhealtiiful rivalry and
alLseltisli ambition.”
Tiie above is not Intended to dissuade
members of ouforder from Liking part
as iudivklirals or as members of Demo
cratic clubs, in'political affairs, but re
fers solely to their action as members
of tiie Alliance- J. W. 8ummkks,

The follow ing resolutions were adopt
ed by the New Forest Alliance No. 610,
at a regular meeting May HRh, 1890, and
request their publication in The Barn-
well People and the Cotton Plant and

Whereas, we, the members of New’

A Note of Wariilatr.
[From ihi* Cotlnn I'hnt.J
Mr. Editor: From your column*
and other secular papers I sec that
several of tiie sub-Alliances are passing
resolution* endorsing the aetiuii of tho
March Convention and declaring them
selves in favor of M r. TUI mar, for Gov
ernor, etc. Though a member .of tiie |
Farmer*’ Association, ami att’endorser
of the measures as set forth in the plat
form adopted by said Convention,. 1
deem it my duty a* State Organizer to
warn our members against such ac
tion. 1 had‘thought the communica
tion from our State President, as pub
lished by you a few weeks ago, w ould
1iave been a^sutlicient warning on this
line; but, »* it lias failed in its object,
I (‘all the attention of our member* to
our “Declaration of Purpose*," and
urge upon them that they study them
ami adhere to tiie principles therein
contained. Let us, as an organization,
steer clear of politics; but as citizens
we are-at liberty toexerclseour rights—
we can be either active or passive, as
our inclination* load us. Let ail mat
ters of a political nature be attended to
through channels other than tiie Alli
ance. . We have our farmers’ clubs,
p reel net meetings, Democratic club*,
•tc., for managing our political affair*,
and I wTTk venture the assertion that
the members of the Alliance, from tiie
Information gained at our meetings,
from the discussions there had of mat
ters pertaining to our interests as a
class, and for the general good of M*e
country, will at the ballot box give
their suffrage to men who will labor
for said interests.
The object* and aims of the Alliance
transcend tiie acquisition of political,
power and preferment; its purpose is
to improve 'and elearate the laboring’
lasses (the wealth-producers), and
slace them in a position of respect and
imior properly belonging to tlieiri^
which we have been f&st losing in
times past, through our carelessness
and indifference. But the farmers,
through our organization, have been
aroused from their lethargy, and are
now reading, thinking, and are de.s
lined to act for themselves. 1 hey will
no longer "ante” to the whims of po
litical tricksters and schemers whose
only aim is personal advancement and
preferment, never thinking about or
caring who it depresses or degrades.
Brethren, w e have one of the grand
est, organization* in existence, fun! if
projicr care and management are cxer-
i» before us. I firmly believe that
