Ben Terrill will beat Aiken on Friday and Saturday, 15th and 10th of May, for the purpose of organizing the Legislative Council for the Third Dis trict, composed of Aiken, Barnwell Edgefield and Hampton. He desires all the County Lecturer* in the District to meet him and to come prepared to stay two days. He w ill also deliver a public address in connection with the meeting. President J. William Stokes says: “Let as many Bub-Lecturers as possible at tend these meetings, and let the breth- sen generally attend the publlp meet ings Let due arrangements be. made at once for the entertainment of visit ing brethren, and let immediate steps be taken to give widest publicity to these, meetings in each county.” Should any other counties desire to have Col, Terrill visit them, they should make their arrangements at once and write to Dr. Stokes at Orangeburg.

There has been a very general impression among our people, amounting to complaint in many in stances, that the amount of currency in circulation is not sufficient for the uses of business. Without going into any of the political phases of the question, it is eminently proper to suggest that our bank, w ith others, helps to utilize the currency we really have in the com munity, by putting to work money which would otherwise remain idle And if every farmer who sells his pro- dttiS at l^rangebu/g would dapoaitr-LU plus of amounts from tiv«d*aiar*M*f 'Sf/Tii a bank, instead of carrying it Next Monday week, 27th Inst., will be a red letter day in Augpsta.

Free Coinage. Some people say that the free coinage •f silver will bring a perfect deluge of financial troubles on the country. That our readers may judge for themselves we give the following definition of the meaning of free coinage: , — “Free coinage means that the govern ment should coin silver as it coins gold, free of charge. There are now four eotaing mints in the United'States. They are located at San Francisco, New Orleans/CarKou City and Philadelphia. Any man who w ill take gold to any of these mints may receive the gold in ahapeof coin. Silver is not recognized on the same basis, and this is what the Silver men detband.” home and keeping it there fof even two or three weeks absolutely .idle, there would be an increase of money in circu lation that would be actually astonish ing. A dollar that a man keeps at home out of use for a month, If it were put into a bank, would be busy during that month, and in business traiisjUtHons would every day do the work of several dollars In passing from baud to hand. Suppose one hundred persons residing at a distance from a tow n, each one of them keeps at home idle for two weeks the sunrof twenty dollars, there Is thus kept out of circulation the sum of two thousand dollars for two weeks. If put into a bank, the bank would hold, in its cash reserve six dollars of this money and put the remaining fourteen dollars nto daily use, and each dollar would pass every day through several hands, and the fourteen hundred dollars would do fully twenty thousand dollars work as currency in two weeks. So that twenty dollars apiece held by 100 coun try residents for two weeks really locks up currency which in that time would do twenty thousand dollars worth of business. I am satisfied from a close observation and an experience of many years, that the greatest cause of scarcity of curren cy is the habit of our people to hoard their money, especially their savings, at home, if the amount of money held to day in this way in Orangeburg county was deposited in the banks of the coun ty, we would not find all enterprises go ing abroad for capital, because none is available at home; and going abroad for capital means that every year inter est on that foreign capital must be taken out of our section, which might be kept among our own people.” The bank is in a nourishing and ealthy condition, having declared a dividend of 8 per cent, for the last year on the capital stock, computed on the amount actually paid In,fractional parts of a month.not counted. Tribute of Respect. Inasmuch as it has pleased the Maker and disposer of man.to remove by deat h our worthy brother J. L. Wilson from the Bamberg Alliance, thereby depriv ing us of a faithful and useful member, and feeling it to be our fraternal duty to place upon record the high esteem in which our late add lamented brother was held by this Alliance, we do here by submit the following resolutions: Resolved, 1. That we bow iu submis sion to bin divine will. 2. That we will strive to emulate his stern integrity and manly qualities. J. That a page in our minute book be inscribed to Ids memory. , 4.

In many place* the drones, those who joined the Alliance with the expecta tion,of benefitring themselves through the efforts and labor of others are drop ping out. We are well rid of them, for they are of no benefit to the organiza tion, society, or even to our country as citizens. This should not discourage us, but shouldArouse ns to greater ex ertions for the accomplishment of our purposes.

IN MKMORY OK W. W. LIMBJUCK.. Whereas it has pleased our Heavenly Timely Thought and Talk. From the address of President Elder at the April meeting of the York Coun ty Alliance we take the following wise words, that should be read and remem bered by every member of the order: “Although the Alliance has accom plished great good, there is much more to l»e done. The work accomplished is to bo retained.

Teachers’ Association at Blackville. The,monthly meetiugof the Barnwell County Teachers’ Association was held at Blackvlltu in <h« Court H....Bam.is day, April 11th, at 11 a. m. The attend- aifbe was good and a most interesting meeting was held. At present the As sociation numbers twenty-eight active and five honorary members. The growth of the Association is Steady and the interest manifested is gratifying. The regular program was carried out by members of tlje Association. The first on the program w as Opening Exercises, by Mrs. Julia Day of Gra hams. An earnest discussion followed as to whether ^he Bible should Ik*, read and prayer offered in the public schools. Prof. J. K.^Bullen, of ^Blackville, dis cussed in an interesting manner the question: “Should the languages be taught in our graded schools?” He took up tlie subject of Latin, its history and advantages as a study. It should be introduced into orffsehools, thereby raising tlie standard in our curriculum. The next subject was tiiat of written examination-, by A. f . uus, <>( fiiro- welT.

Now as to this’lecture system and for mation of a County Legislative Coun cil, 1 advise tiiat ^;e give it our endorse ment and hearty support, it is a line upon which i have repeatedly urged ac tion. But at the same time we should not think that the work of keeping up our organization, which I consider a ne cessity {nr our preservation and protec tion, should devolve upon this council. We should, overy member, consider ourselves a committee of one to do all we can^for the advancement of our cause, which is just and deseryes the support of every citizen who has the good of our country at m art. As to the power of money to oppress, I think we have in the past few months felt its ef fects in the low price qf. cotton. This should be a lesson of warning to us. We should realize the fact in order to place ourselves in a condition to resist mo nopolies, combines and . trusts; we should raise our own supplies at home and make cotton a surplus. ik> I would suggest that every sub-Alliance take this matter into serious consideration and urge upon its members the import ance of raising their own “hog and hominy,” and 1 venture the assertion that then there will be no danger of starvation among our people. As to arrangements for bagging for the coming season, I judge that ali the sub-Alliances have acted in accordance with the suggestions at the called meet ing in January. The establishment of an Alliance bank with the fund subscribed to the State Exchange, to which I called your attention at the January meeting, has elicited considerable discussion as to whether it would be for the good of the order and the benefit of the Exchange. This is a matter that should be seriously considered by every SHb-Allianoe hold ing stock, and let our trustees be in structed as to what course to pursue. Lgt us take no action calculated to in jure or cripple the operations of our btate Exchange, which I consider as the great motive power in checking and reducing the enormous school at thk* place, taught by Mr. A M.
