The recognition by the committee of the un alliance conduct of the edi tor and its laudible action in giving him notice of the torminat ion of t he centraet is well-known. It is only unfortunate that tin> contract required a notice ol two months. 1 pen receipt of the committee's notice, Mr. <'rows made a state ment. a? he says, in justification of his editorial policy. The fol lowing is an extract: "In the first pace there is not an alii nnceman in the State of South ('nrolina but who knows ?11??t i li.-> alliance orpin i/.at ion is composed not of members who belong to the political faction known as (Conservatives, but of those com posed of what i> known as the Kefoim movement, or. in other f word-, those Democrats in the State known as Tillmanitos. Now is it not plain that if you destroy the Welorm movement you also destroy f lie alliance This alleged justification is in my opinion positive proof of I ho editor's unfitness to control an alliance paper. It is a declaration that the alliance and the po lilical Taction arc identical. N'ei ! her the Tact nor the const it n (ion of the alliance can justify 1 I such a statement.

A committee was appointed o eosider the recommendations made in the President's address, (insisting of .M. 1,. Donaldson, VV. T. O'Dell and .1. S. (iraves. Publishing Committee's Report. The publishing commit too in harge of The Cotton Plant made ts report, which ?vas referred to i conin.it11 consisting of W. h. Donaldson, W. T. O'Dell, .1 S. '.1 raves, W. K. I/ike and h. Iv. I'arlcr. This report is as follows : Hon. Jos. Keitt, President of the Stale 1'ariner.s Alliance of South Carolina : Dear Sir: We, the publishing ominiliee ol The Cotton Plant, bee leave to submit to you for presentation to the annual State Alliance meeting, this our annual report ot the management of the printing hf The Cotton Plant tor the past year. At the lasi session of the Slate Alliance the committee had a jontraet with Mr. .1. T. (Jantt for or the printing ot the paper, ivhich contract ex pi red March 1st, 1^97. At this time Mr. (iantt notified the committee that he ivas not willing to continue the publication of the paper on the erms olfered by the committee. At this time several prominent Alliance members from the conn y of I.aureus asked the commit ce i I I hev would allow I he Cot on Plant to bo moved to their ounty and they recommended Mr. W\ 'I". Crew- as a suitable nan to print the paper Mr Crews came to Columbia uul tin* committee entered into he following written contract villi Mr. Crews. (This contract i ias already been printed.) Iieforc The ('ottou Plant had men in Mr. ('rows' hands a mouth ic had drawn on us lor more noney than we had agreed to pay dm, which impressed the com nittee with the fact that Mr. Tews could not carry out his con ract. While the committee vere discussing the matter with Mr. Crew- lie began in hi- editor al management of The Cotton L'lant to criticise and denounce ortain liioii in too Slate in ;i ,'ory partisan manner. Iintncliately the committee n-ipiosloil liin to discontinue those persontl ami partlsian editorials, as they lad stateil to him when t hey t urn?d the paper over to him that hoy wished it run strictly as an \ 11 ianee paper. .Mr. Crews still persisting in lis course the committee roquestm1 him to come to Columbia and iicot the committee. 1 le came, nit failed to attend the meeting >1 the committee as appointed, rnd of which lie had full notice. nit ?till continued his partisan iti< 1 hitter personal editorials al hough lie li;nl said in writing to .ho eoinniitt.cc that ho would ease to do so Keeling that it was useless to further temporize with Mr. < 'rows. Il.ev gave him olfieial notice that they wished to diseontinue their contract with him, as the said contract gave them the right to do so. Tnese differences between the committee and Mr. :('re.vs have gotten into the jxii>lie prints and are familiar to yon. Vour committee regret the pre sent condition of this all'air. When they allowed the paper to go to Laurens it was in good shape, and the coinmittee had every reason I to hope that Mr. Crews would make a success of the paper. Vour committee have no plans j to suggest until they hoar the wishes of the alliance, and we j would be more than glad to he . roleived of this burden, still we . stand ready to act with the alliance in doing what is for the best j interest, in your better judgment, : as to what will be most beneficial for the paper and the alliance organization. We ask that this matter bo fully discussed so that the committee you may elect will be fully instructed as to your wishes. The paper has now between 2,500 and 3,000 subscribers, and our only indebtedness is $117.00. The committee would respectfully call upon all the friends of the order and members of tho al I Iiance to assist us in making this ( paper a power for good in ad j vancing tin? principles of our orj ganization. If the paper had | what it should have, .">,000 farm ers subscribing for and paying : for it, your committee would have I no trouble in making a contract for it< publication on the best of I terms. All of which is respectfully j submitted. \V. A. Neal, < 'liairman.
