At Rest. . , Mra. Susan Boynton, relict of tbe late Rev. Moses Boynton gently passed away on the afternoon of the 2nd De cember 181k. at the residence of her brother W. J. Sanders, Campbellton, S. C. This event was not unexpected, for she was almost in a dying state when she left her home about two months ago to pay her last visit to her brothers. Her only child. Sauna, w ho had been a pupil at Greenville Female College for five years, was sent for, as it was too apparent to these brothers and sisters that her mother's days on earth were numbered. She came promptly, and never was daughter more untiring and unaeMsh In the sad duty of watching over this loved parent. When her mother rcallxed that the end was draw- teg near she gave this loved child Into tbe keeping of her brother, W. J. Ban ders and hlx wife, saying that she had no fears for her future aftey they con- eeoted to take care of her. She dis missed all earthlv affairs then from her ■aiad, and from her great patience ex hibited under intense suffering we feel assured teat for her no die was gain. An obituary notice we feel assured will be written soon, for Mra. Boynton was for many years a useful and active member af Great Saltkehatchie church. Taxes.

The National Alliance. The annual meeting of the National Alliance was held in Ocala, Fla., last week. Delegates were in attendance from 24 States of the Union. South Carolina was represented by President Stokes, W, J. Talbert, J. E. Jarnigan and A. €..Latimer. From beginning to end the proceed ings showed that there was no section alism in the ranks of the Alliance brotherhood. A resolution denoun cing the Force Bill and petitioning ure went through by a unanimous vote. The growth of the order has been rapid and solid since the St. Louis meet ing.

Its total membership is now near the 3,00 i,OKHlnc.

Rice and John Davis of Kansas, and about seventy-live other delegates for a Con vention to meet for that purpose at Cin cinnati, Ohio, on the 23d day of Febru ary 1891. Tbe N>iilbcrn delegates pre ferred to move slowly in so momentous a matter and favored giving present parties the opp< r i n.ty to embrace Alliance principles and plans. The former officers were reelefeted with one exception, J. 8. Willetts, of Kansas, being chosen Lecturer in place of Ben Terrell, of Texas. In accepting another term President Polk said: **My Brethren and Misters—I say to vou, without the slightest affectation, that this Is tbe proudest moment of my life I accept this manifestation of your extreme kindness and partiality and confidence, not as a personal trib ute, but simply as an indorsement of my fidelity to your cause and tbe great interest that you Intrusted to m/ hands when you elected me twelve months ago. 1 have gone in audout betore youj concealing nothing and shirking noth ing that 1 conceived to be my duty.
