ALLIANCE DEPARTMENT. J. F. NISBET Editor. Drummers Ys. Trusts. When the Farmers' Alliance was organized and even up to a few months ago, the traveling drummers were its most bitter and persistent enemies. They doubtless thought the Alliance would hurt their business. They laughed the Alliance to scorn its An n ?\/l .?!?A v|ypv/omv;u IU auu u^iii a^auiM trusts and combines. The dfymmers seemed to think that trusts .and. combines were God's angels to save the world and ?ive it re ligious, political and social liberty. And it was amusing to see how business men, and even city preachers and religious editors would listen to their tine logic und musical words, and did not only sanction it, but repeated it and rolled in on their tongues as a sweet morsel. But how things have changed, how the mighty fallen! These 350,000 traveling gentlemen are beginning to learn some sense, and to see that as trusts lormed the}* can do their work with less drummers; and up to date over 50.000 of these nten have lost their jobs, and must go into the work shops or corn fields and . work for less wages, or they and their families perish. It is said the Tobacco trust alone has ret down 3,500 of these political ed ucators and trusts defenders. This is too bad for them to come down to such a condition. And what do we see? Why we see them now undertaking just what, they so heroically abused the farmers and laboring men for doing. They have decided to organize in self defense. It was wrong for farmers to do this, but all right for them now. It was even foolish for the farmers to or ganize, but wise in them. You see it makes a difference as to 1 ' - wuose ox is gored." On the oOt,h, one thousand delegates from this one class of freemen, will meet in-Albany, and "resolute" against these same combines and trusts. They will k ^ I doubtless condemn Cleveland's] policy which they once loved so well. Now while we regret to see such conditions, yet it must come before enough of our fellow fiti- j zona will work together to save the country from tried and com bine rule. We are elad we have been spared to see this. We hope] to live ! i s? e some other e!a-??-liave to take a dose ol their own medicine. History will record the1 fact that, farmers were tiast t<> feel and see this, ami that they' acted patiiotically. When the work ol trusts and combines is felt in every spherej in church and stale .is it lias been and is beins; felt by burners and ' the drummers?we mean when they all tret their eyes open, then this country will again declare; for that independence she so much needs just now.?Hickory Mercury.

Faile. On the 25th instant at 8:30 p. m. Rev. Jno. Faile of Flat Creek quietly breathed his last in the presence of his immediate family and few intimate friends. While he had been confined to his bed only a very short time his death was not unexpected as he had been in failing health for some time. The immediate cause of death was Briglu's disease from which he had been suffering for quite a while. He was born De1 ui I ^9') fiml wnc t liorn lore 77 years old. When quite a young man he was married to Mis Martha Kennington, who now survives him. Nine children were borp to them, five ot whom are still living. Mr. Faile entered the Confederate army in April, 1861, and remained in servico throughout the war. Soon after the war he entered the Haptist ministry and since then lus time has been spent in pointing sinners to Christ. His style has always been plain and matter of faet, yet under his preoehing many sinners have been converted and under his super vision several churches were organized, notably among the latter being old Laurel Hill church wliirli stfwnl nbnnt milr> Ironi town and was tho original Kershaw Baptist church. His remains were interred in the fami-ly burying ground near Charlesboro church on the 27th inst., in the presence of several hundred relatives and friends. The tuneral services were con ducted by Rev. T. A. Dabney in a very able and impressive man ner. In his death the community loses a good citizen, the church a worthy member and an earnest and honest pastor. We extend our sympathy to the bereaved widow and children in their sad hour of allliction.? Era.
