J. F. MSB FT Editor. %
What is the Alliance doing?
We haven't heard much of the Alliance
for some time. 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.

but. we have members in our Alliance

V I agricultural interests paramount
