A Negro From York County Who lint Gaincd Itfuics an11d Postioll III Liberia. Twenty-fivo years ago a poor laborer In the cotton lields of York County; today a mieorchant pi'nco1 and one of the leading citizens of a flourishing little republic. Such in brief is a romantie history of .1uno Moore, a negro, who, In 1871, left this State on account of the Ku Klux, went to Liberia, and last week caimo back for the lirst time to the scenes of his early life. I1e called at the ollce of tLe Yorkville PlnIquirer, which was the first paper lie ever read. 113 proved to be a very intelligent talker, and it was not very many min utes before the reporter caine to the conclusion tlat le coul tell som stories that would be of considerable interest to the people of this section. "There were 1ii; Ien, women and children in our party, when we left Clay I I ill," he said. "We sailed on the l-i itli I tome. Two or three (I ied oil the voyage, aid tlhii'ty-Six or moen becoIII Ing disatislied after we got there, re turned loieli. Of the Iblalnce, nearly all Care do in g well, and not one of themou would he willing to colmle back to this colIuntry to Iive under any considera tion." "Well, you scem to have been quite prosprmus. Tell I us how you got your silart. Did you have any money whein yol got there ?" "Yes. sir. bless the Lord, I am 1 doing well. No, sir: I did not have miucli money. Me and Soloion Hill Solomon1 is my partnier L -had Only a few dolia's between us. The government gave us aeah twenty-five acres of land--it still gives twenty-live acres to the heads of t family and ten acres to a man who is iot marriod-and we wont to work. l'he first thing we (lid was to plant 0inger and collt.e. It takes cohfce live y'ears to hear after pllanting, and then it conti nues to bear oii for a lifetime. U inger comes quiciker. But we had to dlo somn'Athing while our crop~s wvere 'ominiig on and we wvent, to wvork with a whipsaw, sawing out, lumber for 51) cents a (lay ai)cOC. We kept at this for two or three yearA, until wve be gn to realize from our ginger crops,. and then later, wheii our coffee began to yield, we did inot, have any more trouble. Now, between us we have 3,000) acres of laud and our i'ohfee crop amounts to1 a little over 50t,000i pouinds aL y'ear. I''or thiis we get Ii fteen cents a pound, andi~ realize about teni cents a po11und net profit. "Hlere is a sample of our co)ffee," con) tiiined Mlooreo, prod uciing a box of that alrticle. The1( reporter- waIs struck wiVth the unusually3 large size of the grin s andio suiggested that ithe sam pie was especiailly selected. "No, sir," said Moore, "that is wvhat they Cal I ele1lipan t colffee. [ sold1 200( bags of it ini iv e r pool , and it, was all just like this. Th'l is waLs taken out of aL hag that, I broight, hiome to' my peop1le, It is fast, becomi in' kn'"-- - th li inest Ilavored coffee in ' I.., my principal busi n- - - J1 is to) estalblish an Amriuii tea Lei for it.

They have advan tages that they never will- be able to securo in this country: but those who are only tit for laborers had better stay here. They cannot do any botter in Liberia." "Any white mon among you ?" "Only a low Englishmen and Ger mans, sir. We do not want white men oxcept as traders, and we don't al low them to own real estate. They are too smart for the poor negro, and if wo should throw down the bars they would soon own the whole country. We know that we aro the infurior race. We havo been in bondago for hundreds of years. We have all thought it was hard; but just as the good Lord kept the children of Israel wandering about the desert for forty years, ho has had us in bondage for our own good. We are coming slowly, butsurely, and after awhile we will tell the white man to come in if he wants to, and if he can make anything oil of us he will be welcoie to it."

A number of Americans wcre'dining at the same table, although they were un acquainted with each other. One was being entertained by an English friend and was relating incidents that occur' ed during the war of the rebellion. The speaker, who had been a mem ber of the Union army, said that once previous to a battle he had traded a pocket of quinine to a Confederate sol dier for a ipe of tobacco and a curious ly carved pipe. These exchanges, he said, were frequently made. The Northern solhliers often traded tea and colfee for tobacco. As he told about the quinine and pipe episode another of the Americans, a tall, graywhisker ed man wvearing a slouched hat, seem ed deeply interested. "That pipe and tobacco saved my life," said the formcr U~nion soldier. '"My commanding ollicer learned that I had it and ordered me to report for an explanation. While I was gone there was a sharp skirmish and thme man who had taken my plae was killedl." I fore the gray-whIiiskered gentleman ierrupted.

The Alliance Doctin- l tis a Achilove monts are Upheld and ICxaIlCd. Columbia legister. TIIZAH, YoltK COUNTY, July 30. It has been said for a year or two that the Allinnce was decreasing in mom bership and that it was rapidly falling into decay. That may or may not be so as to numbers, but the fact appears to be that as great interest is taken in organization now as ever before, iIdg ing from the outpouring of the fai'hful at the third annual encampment of the York Alliance at this place today. The most conservativo estimate places thO number of people in attendance at 2,000 and some even put the number larger. There were about 900 ladies among tlemn and in an equal number so many handsome ones cannot be found else where in the State. The wotds this time were literally full of them. Of course with such a number of the fair sex present the assemblage was a most quiet, attentive and ordeirly one, for it could not be otlierw ise inder such cir cuistaneeb. These annual encamp ilInts were beguni three years ago by the York Alliance for the puI)osC of keeping up the interest of the members in the order and for the further and great'ver )urpol)O of educating the peo ple on the great .econieOlio questions tl at have ariseni for solution in the mist few years. With this idea in view, at each encampment prominent speakers of nation;l reItation I:ave been invi ted to address the people. Seniator 'Tillixan ogan Ihis political ca'eer by his CelebratCd seUech at 13en nettsvillo, hut tie next one lie iade on his tour which finally landed him wheeC lie is, was ilade at thih placo 'be fore ani immense concourse of fariers. Tirzah is a railway station Onl the Ohio Ntiver '\- Clmleston iailroad, and is very near the geogrtapi ical centre of York county. .\en from York, ILancaster, Union and blorde-ing counties annually make a pilgrimniage to this place and hrin g with themii their wifes, their sols and daughters. Ilid sweethearts no doubt. Many cono jusat for the day, heing those who live in convenient distance of the town, wihile others further off bring their covered wvagons, their tents, bedding and cooking utensels.and camp) out durinig the encampment in the splendid grove just nlear- w here the orators speak. Tie encamtipimiet usual ly lasts two days. The morning and afternoon scssiions are-0 devoted to speech making and a picnic din ner, ,while the evenings are )Spent inl amuillsemxents of various kinds, such as dancing, card p~arties, etc. T'he people of Tirzath andi vicinity atc the most kind-he-rted and hospitable in the State. and noo tratger who comeiCs among themn niecd laeK for anythilg. lIl-.is lar .I1ly allowed to ask for nVtIh:ig for the people an ticiphate even his smallest wants. The encampments then are not only occasions of great social enjoyment. but, they bring people of various see tions together to become better ae quainted and are in addition political, economic and agricultural instructoris. The third encampment which was held to-day was fully up to former ones in point of attendance, and interest displayed by the people. A most elabolratC lrograInne of speeches had been arranged for, but for various reason it could not be car ried out. All candidates for State ohices were invited, but the tacit understataing wa~s that they would let up blowing their own horns and "ecussing " out their opponents for one day at least and give the people solid Alliance doc trine from first to last.

On either side were seats for two crnet bands, both of which are as goodl as any in the State. They are brulmsomely unifomod and have good instiruments. They alte natedo in furnish ing music between the 8)>eakers. iutween the two band standls was the sp~eakerW rostrum. The posts were dlecoratedl w ith ever-grens, sunhiowers and othr cx lowers. Acr-oss the centre was a banner. on either side of which was incribed "'Nebraska and Bryan" andi " - aine andl SewallI." In the conl tre was "' South Car-olina and Tillma~n," and underneath it all was "' Si xteen) to One." At. the entrance to the pairk gate wias i nscribed " The TIowvn of T1irzah Welcomie All."' T[he mieetinlg was called to order by P resident, WV. N. Eiler, and pratyer wats oihfered by' e.1 J. M. McClatin, after wvhichm Capt. WN. iI. Ed wards welcomed the audioneoc andl speakers to TJ.irzah. Secretary JI. W.

Maybe they had bettor put up) Cahli Hemphill for- President, but it Is doubtful if he could car-ry his own vote in South Care: Ina. (Laughitlir.) Gover-nor Evans made an exceedingly strong and able speech on financial issues, conhining himself s',rictly to that,, refraining from any referenee to local politics. The Governor spoke of the growing menace to the lIberties of the 1)e01)1 in usumrpation of authority, and painted out Judge dimonton's in jumnction against, i-ailroads emtting rates, saying that the courts wer-e prmotetng corporationis against the peoploC even when they didn't ask for it. Hie was loudly cheered. Mr. Barbor followed and spoke on South Carol ina's educational record and the accompl~ishmnts of the Re form miovemen t. HeI concluded with anf ablel discussion of economical issues, shoilng how the South especially hamd sulered. ils irmark on this subject were coiehhd In lowery language and warA i-nnt nin(nuently dellvi rad. As has been the case esewhere, Mr. Bar ber made a splendid imp ression. Mr. Barber said that be had been an Al liancoman until he became a lawyer, but that was the only reason he was not still one. These wore the only two speeches of the morning hour, and President Eldeft announced ad Inter mission of an hour and a half for din nor. 'Ihere was no regular spread, but each family or group had combined and had dinner to themselves. Afer dinner Mr. Wilborn made i short but earnest apIpeal to farm ers to light the cotton tie trust which has put up the price arbitrarily from 72 centa a bundle to $1.30. He announceed that such a rise in prices meant the extortiou from the cotton farmers of about $6,000,000, an amount which if put in paper money and stretched end to end would reach near ly to the mloon. lie said that Col. D. P. Dluncan. of the Allianco Exchange, would be present today with sam pies of wire tires which were perfectly sat Isfactory, and which could be bought for much iess than the trust tie. - HC appealed to farioers to buy this and thus down the trust, as had been the case with the bagging trust. in connection with that it was learned that the farmers of York generally have been using the sugar sack bag ging which costs one-half what jute bagging does and vihich is obtained from Now York. York County cotton mills consume nearly all the cotton raised in the coIoty, n( the fartmers have been buying the second-hand bag ging from the fautories and thus it is used over and Over at a very smnal I cost.

Mr. Rtobiuson spoke next and got off several good jokos which kept the crowd in a gZood humor. He s)oke of the necessity of good roads and what a great saving they would he to the people. le touched lightly on nation al issues, saying that subject had al ready been fully discussed. Thlm is concluded tihe regular speeches of the day, but Mr. W. J. Gaines, agent for the Cotton I 'lantand the Rxchange. inade an impotant addre-s of forty live minutes in length. Mr. Gaine: started olf by asking Allianceonen to give their 8011d support to the Cotton Plant and the Exehange, and getting enthusiastic, lie gave a good, common sense Alliance talk, perhaps the only genuine one of the day, because it was a practical one as to how the order should go about to accomplish its pri mary object. lie cautioned members to pay attention to business hir:t. and be very suspicious ofroi ly-tongued poli ticians. He scored the bagging and other trusts and showed how the mnonve mongers were trying to got )ossession of all lands by loaning money on them. ilis advice to them to beware of all such schemes was very appropriate and was convincingly put. 110 madeO a good impression and natur-ally took in a lar-go number of orders for the Cotto, IPiant, the ollicial organ of the Alli ance.
