It classed about strict low- middling and brought seven cents a pound. , * The Pickens grand Jury in its pre- aentiuout calls “the attention of the court to ibe fact that the Richmond & Safe Danville Railroad Company continues to run freight trains through Pickens county on? the Sabbath after 0 a. m. con trary to the Act_of the .Legislature to the contrary.” In all.tbe eloquence of this phenome nal year we have seen nothing equal in pathos to the following of the ■Wrstminstcr BariubfAo Us delinquent gttbacrtbeT* t —^—•—-• ~ M We cannot, like most-editors, take ~ ' our scat in the easy chair, because *oy; ‘chccrMs like our fimuiji^um • H .^en» 4, WUronfy one rocker with a plank bot tom and we have almost worn out our {Sunday hat silting on it, trying to keep from wearing out our pauts.

A 8ub-Alllanoo over in Marlboro, the best cotton county in the State, has re solved to plant enough w heat, rice, cane and other fowl crops for homo use and to make the little cotton that its mem- hfiis.wiil grow a .surplus crop. .Thai remedy, if faithfully ♦jk’eti, will cure ‘paying up. The wheat crop of the United State* for this year Is estimated at 500,000,000 bushels. The European crop Is short and there will bo a heavy demand for the American surplus. A movement has been started in Minnesota urging the fanners to keep back their wheat from market. I u * promoters believe that four fifths of the crop can he held by farmers for from four to eight weeks and high prices secured. They arc mail ing a million circulars to farmers ad vising them to follow that course. A atringont law forbids such combinations In l bat State. TbeStat* mould** the collapse from lack of patronage of theSatnrday Globe, a weekly newspaper started In New York about three yeara ago to advocate the tariff principles of. ex-PresIdent Cleveland, and predicts that “we may •xpect Jubilant editorials from Editor Dana and Editor Holmes." That ex|»ecutiou will be disappointed ao far as Editor Holmes Is concerned. He has not been In a Jubilant frame of mind since Mr. Cleveland sacrificed the Democratic party and threw away the Presidency and brought back the woes of indefinite Radicfi rule uj*>n lb< i*c<.- j»le. Until the democracy recovers iu reason Jeremiads arc In order. For the present we prefer eating melons to at tending funerals and playing mourner. The Htate A Co. can bury their ewn dead. There la always a measure of consola tion In the knowledge that things are not m bad with us as they wight be. Xverybody knows that the plneland condition Is not entirely happy, but how much better off la this section than the much vaunted Piedmont Escarp ment thus pictured by a Spartanburg correspondent: “One of the moat hnniillatlng sights Is to see a two horse fanner hitch up his wagon and carry it empty as his pocket to town in the morning and go back in the evening with a side of West ern meat, a bale of Virginia hay. a sack of Indiana flour, a sack of Kansas corn, two Barnwell county watermel ons, A half dosen plugs of North Caro lina tobacco and a gallon of Ohio whis key." the hi - VA^. a* i*l f ^ken, will • - - r . iuTTmeftTnaX are gutthrg worse every year under the Cotton regimen.

Adopted by the Willisten Sunday School July 26th, 1801.—- D. W. Key, ^ E. L. N ixon, Committee. of Barnwell, met their appointments for last week as advertised. At WitHfton on Tuesday the new Academy buildhig was comfortably filled w ith an attentive audience. Col. Ga«tou made the o|>aiiit>g address, which wax a strong and logical explan ation of the purposes and demands of of the order. He w as followed by Hon. G. Duncan Bellinger in one o^' those very happy effort* of which lie is so capable. The visitors were hospitably entertained at the homes of their f rietids. At Biackville on Wednesday an au dience of at least eight hundred per sons gathered in apiiu of the lowering weather. Col. Gaston made the public address of the day, tillfug the field ex cellently. A splendid plv-uie dinner w)M served. In the afternoon private lectures were delivered by Col. Gaston and Capt. Kirkland. At '.olson on Thuraday at leaat six hundred peretowe were gathered. The speeches of Col. Gaston and Capt. Kirk land were heartily enjoyed, as was the bounteous dinner served. Five hun dred or more persons assembled at Hoover’s Academy on Friday, when Lecturer* Gaston and Kirkland “filled the bill" to the complete satisfaction of their hearer*. A feast In the form of an abundant nic-nic dinner was served. At Allendale on account of the death of a near relative of the Tresident full preparations bad not been made but the meeting was one of the most suc cessful of the series. GUI’s largt hall was cobs fort ably filled. Col. Gaston was followed by Hon. L. W. Youmans who spoke forcefully and effectively In line with the Alliance demauds. He has given close study to the financial system and problems of the government and there is probably no one In the MULe better qualified to discuss them Intelligently. It ws» a good week’s work. The speakers deserve sod receive the t! «ukt of the public, w hosA ap|M-tiu. I i# for mation lias been w helled by y :** iss be«m furnished them. Abbes! Meeting of (ke Alliance. * The State Alliance held Its annual meeting at tipartauburg on the 23d and 24th lust*. Barnwell county was rep resented by Secretary W. 8. Bamberg and Dr. J C. Mlllsr. dor was reminded that its function was purely; in the way of pres*malum of truth in a non-partisan way and the stimulation of thought. Further than thistlie Alliance in its organized capa city does not and dare not go. It iiitist not and dare not interfere with the po litical or religious al^illiatiou of Its mem bers. The fullest and freest discussion is encouraged aud invited in the order; and under the conviction that a ques tion is never settled until settled right, it is always allowable to reopen a ques tion that has been frequently decided. The partisan press, with the excep tion of a few weekly country papers, is solidly against our demands. The dai lies are all,, so far as I know, against some of the Wore Important of those de mands. This condition has made the duties of the State organ (the. Cotton Plant) exceedingly onerous. While the organ has received generous sympathy and support it must he confessed that our people do not read it generally.' it Is of the utmost importance that some means he devised by this body to get the Cotton Plant and other approved liter ature Into the hands of every member of the order. A propaganda bureau that shall furnish Alliance literature at cost is recom mended. The ow ners of the Cotton L’buit-whiie uot oager to k** an investment Kre willing to turn it over o” a controlling interest therein to the State Alliance oil uu equitable basis. 1. The growers of cotton are con fronted with a most serious condition. The most reliable statistics pointrto a large surplus Of the staple—probably over a million bales, in view of this contingency it is of the utmost Impor tance that this body take some action looking to amelioration of a condition bordering upon calamity; and I recom mend that a committee be appointed to confer with other State Alliances, with a view to securing the call of a conven tion of cotton growers—non-Alliance as well as Alliance, colored as well as white, to'meef us soon as practicable for conference and action. - 2. The iniquities environing the mar keting of cotton, even under favorable conditions as to yield and price are out rageous in many instances and should not be tojerated. The Alliance should appoint trustworthy men at each cotton market to sample, grade and weigh cot ton, and tell the farmer what price it should bring in the market that day upon the basis of telegraphic quotations. The salary of such a man could be easily paid by a charge of ten cents, per bale; while the saving to the farmer iu grad ing, and weights alone would aggregate million i avery sea son. IT wir'd* v eT" oped In the course of the wheat elevator Investigation, ordered by the Alliance legislature of Minnesota, that a very large proportion of the wheat bought as second grade and ft grade and for which the farmer was paid second grade price, was sold out as first grade, making a clear steal of millions of doPars out of the farmers pockets every yenr. We have no way of trscing our cotton •ales; but such an Investigation would no doubt lead to surtling discoveries. The same Investigation in Minnesota developed the fact that there were lar^e quantities of grain In the elevators excess of whatthc farmer’s bill* of sales called for A loss of only 2 lbs per bale in the weight of onr cotton crop means more than 16,000,000 lbs, 32,<K)0 bales, $1.600,. 000. The average dockage in weight will far exceed 2 lb" |*er bale. 1 therefore recoin mend— a. That the local Alliance appoint Its tlon." The debate on the Sub*Treaviry de mand behveen Gov. Tiilaian HUd Lec turer Terrell wan hold with closed aooii*. Atltscloie the dcfiiuiii was endorsed unanimously. The old officers were elected-. Presi dent Stokes tendered his resignation but the Alliance rcfusod-to^tcceptk. lecturer Talbert resigned on account of the demands of his official duties And Col. John R.

As a mere menace the business meth od* .of the Farmer*’ Alliance have made themselves felt even in remote trade centers. The money centers have re cognized the stupendous possibilities of such a system; these possibilities are daily entering into their calculations and bids for Alliance patronage arc the result. As a rule it is best for ng to leave to those who are skilled in mercantile methods the management of their own capital. Let them furnish the capital and the experience while we furnish the patronage. The patronage of the State Exchange has not been what It should be. That is due to the fact that its trade I* re stricted to the stock holding Alliances. (Suggestions are made to increase its effectiveness ) The moral, educational ftud social are discussed and the good work done by those agencies is well de scribed. The Alliance has preserved its integrity as to politics by adhering to the prescribed line of discussion in a non partisan sense. In this field the Alliance has been a magazine of stupendous potential en ergy. As an organisation it took no part in politics directly—either In State or nation; and yet having trained it* educative forces largely upon the po litico-economic problema of the day. IU Influenoe has been everywhere felt, borne few sub-AUiances relatively, over-stepped constitutional limitations last year at the beginning of the SUte campaign.
