Our countv alliauce will meet the second Friday in January 1895), and we should be prepared to tell how much fertilizers we will need, md what kind. Let us try to revive our sub-alliances by that time, because wo hear nothing of the alliance is not a sign that it is dead by any means. We are much alive aud still grow ing. We want to hear from tho sub correspondents. A Live, Hustling Alliance. Mr. W. H. Stallings, secretary of Justice Alliance, No. 1,002, at Justice, N. (J., has contributed the following sketch of this Alliance to the Progressive Farmer. How many Alliances in South Carolina can furnish as good a record * Let us hear from the brethren : This Alliance was organized the 16th of August, ISStS, and has been in working condition ever since that time. We helped to down the jute bagging trust : helped to make the Agency fund, aud we helped to build the shoe factory, and now our brethren e wearing shoes made by that >tory. We are well pleased with ality and prices ot the shoes. vVe have had the same trouble * contend with that canned so *ny of our Alliances ?o mi down, but. we have members in our Alliance who d< not think that a farmer inu-t In- a I'opulist to qualify him tor membership into the Order.
