TIl-WEEKLY EDITION. WINNSBORO, S. C., SEPTEMBER 3, 8195. ESTA BL I SHED 1844. PALMETTO PENXILLING OCCURRENCES WORTH NOTIN FROM ALL OVER THE STATE. New Counties. The approaching Constitution: Convention has given a boom to til new county schemes. The couni papers are already beginning to coi tain advertisements, required by lai of the proposed new counties. Bate burg county is one of the first to con to the front, and an unnamed count: likely to be known as Gaffney, is al advertised. It is pretty certain tht the Greenwood county plan will be r vived in time to get before the Legi lature, and that Calhoua. Salen Saluda, Wagener, Ninety-Six an other counties will be rapping at ti door for admission at the next sessio of the Legislature. While it is cot ceded that the Convention can orgar ize new counties, it is regarded v quite likely that after arranging fe smaller areas the Convention will tur the entire matter of the new countiE over to the Legislature, and it is jum about as well for the Legislature t amuse itself with such matters as t tackle unknown and unheard c schemes. If the county proposition are referred Vo the Legislature. lobby ing that will put the femalo sutragist to a discount may be expected. It ca be counted that about ten new count propositions will be presented to th next Legislature, and the maps an notices have, according to law, to b on file at least three months in adyane of the session of the Legislature.

He Say: the Alliance is a Politieal Organ ization of the Highest Form. The State Alliance began its delayec annual sessions in the Senate cham ber at the State capitol, Columbia, last Wednesday. It was called to or der by President W. 1). Evans, whose term of office expires with this meet ing.

When ihe blody had been properly organized President Evans proceeded to deliver his annual address, speak ing as follows: To the Members of the South Caro lina Alliance and Industrial Union: There never was a time since the first organization of the Farmers' Alliance and Industrial Union when there was more urgent need for us to keep up this great uniou of the industrial classes. Many of our profoundest thinkers believe that this country is on the verge of revolution, peaceful it may be, but revolution there will be. It is my own conviction that this rev olution will come and that it will be settled through the ballot box. How important then that the large army of voters, who have so much at stake of common interest should have an organization through which they can make their combined influence felt by the political parties striving for supremacy. Though non-partisan, yet the Alliance is political to the ei iete the masses in the science of gov ernent, for it is only through the in telligence of the citizen and his knowl edge of the relation of the govern ment to flinance, commerce, agriculd turc and tronsportation that he will be able to protect his interests by Lis bal lot. You cannot trust to p)olitica1l parties the keeping of such vital interests, for all parties are soon er or later controlled by the politician, whose guiding star is policy and not principule; so it is ab solutely necessary to__have- suchi an ;gaitnd-..as-the Alliance is to check parties and politicians when they go wrong, as well as to give support to those who are right. There are other imp~ortant reasons set forth in our declaration of purposes why we should keep upl this orgaunization, consideration, aud in conclusion ap peal to everyone who believes in the principlles and demands oI the Alliance to stand by and push forward the c1 ganizationi, so thatt we maly reap' the general beitefits of organization, as well as to see to it that some politieal party shall enact these demands into law. There will be rep)orts from commit tees in charge of your State Alliance organ, 'The Cotton Plant, your busi ness exchange and other branches of Alliance work. up)on which I may have something to say during the session. The expressions of the president met with great favor, and he was loudly applauded. The Alliance then went into a dis cussion of the "good of the order," and much interest was shown in the welfare of the organization. En tho siastic a ndl spirited speeches, full of suggestions, were made by Con gressman Talbert, Mr. Bowdlen, Mr. Pickett and Mr. Edwards. After these speeches the Alliance took a. recess until 8 o'clock . The night session of the Alliance was a long one. The members went at their work with the intention of completing the business and adjourn ing sine die before morning, and they did it. The final adjournment was reached about 1 a. m. The only fea ture of the night's work was the elec tion of Keitt over Sligh, by a close vote, as president. The Alliance adopted a resolution petitioning the Constitutional Conven tion that, in the framing of the new Constitution, nothing be done in rela tion to the election laws "calculated tc lower the sense of personal responsi bility; to blunt the conscience or de throne man within God's soul." The following resolution was adopt ed: Ina~mnuch as ignorance is frequentla the mother of poverty, and the fruit ful source of crime, and inasmuch as well educated and intelligent states manship is a chief actor in civil pros perity and social purity, therefor< be it Resolved, That it is the duty of th< approaching Constitutional Conventiox to make provision for the establish ment of a complete and thorough com mon school system, which shall b< State. Resolved, That in the appropria of the necessary funds for com schools, while liberal provisions made for the colored race, that regard be had for the excess in t; paid in for this purpose by- the whi and that such a ratio of divisioi adopted as shall best show justice the needs and rights of both races. The following was then adopted Whereas, the freight on guano to farmer being -much higher per than on cotton seed to the fertil factories, be it Resolved. That we ask the railr commission to equalize those rates that the injustice to the farmers rectified. Columbia was chosen as the place the holding of the next meeting on fourth Wednesday in July, 189G. Several changes were made in State constitution, most of them mi in character. . The most important was the abolishment of the offices treasurer and State lecturer and volving the duties thereof upon secretary and the vice president spectively. It was dccidedto continue the puil eation of the Cotton Plant as the o ial organ of the Alliance and run henceforth upon an extended scale. The election of officers resulite the choice of the following: President-Jos. L. Keitt..Newbei Vice president and State lecture J. C. Wilborn, of York. - Secretary and treasurer--J. Reid, of Spartanburg. Executive comnit teeman- -W. Elder, of York. Delegate to the National Alliane J. W. Bowden, Anderson. A resolntion of thanks was adop directed to the Coluabia Alliance a its friends for the cordial treatm accorded the members Ahidle in city. After the installation of officers, - Alliance adjourned sine die about 1 in. A BRIIDEGROOM'S SUICIDE. After Being 3Married Three Days Crawled Under a IIouse and Drank Laudanuamn.

(Copyright 1-95 by the Co-operative Build ing llai Association, N. YJ Those writers who take every Oc casion to deplore the tendencies of the times, often without any basis for the complaints, are fond of crying about the crowding of the cities and filling of the slums by those who are lured away from the country. It seems to be the general impression that the country is fast becoming depopulated, while the slums and tenements are steadily filling up. Official figures that are available. however, show that this is not the case, for while it is true that the pop ulation in many parts of the country is dwindiing, it is steadily even if slowly; building up in others. More important than all is the fact that under beneficient sanitary laws and regulations, the slums are being purified and over crowding of tenements prevented. The most significant feature of the shifting of population is found in suburban development. The suburbs draw their population not from the country, but from the heart of the cities. Almost every city in the land has shown astonishing growth during the past decade, but in large part this has been in the suburbs, while the slums have been stationary in point of population, or have actually shown a decrease. A house designed after the illus tration would prove a convenient, roomy and comfortable household, and still within cost that could be afforded by the average person.
