THE MEETING OF THE STATE
ALLIANCE.
The fifth annual session of the
State Alliance was held in the
city of Columbia last week. The
proceedings as given to the public
press are printed elsewhere in
these columns.
The attendance, the interest
manifested in tne work 01 tne |
organization ; in the business of
the State Exchange; in the publication
of the Alliance organ,
The Cotton Plant, were all sub
jects of much interest to all the
delegates who had the true interests
of the Alliance at heart,
and we were all with one accord
much gratified at ttie success of
the meeting and received much
encouragement from the results
developed during the session. WeI
have never seen the "doubting
Thomas'' so completely routed.
There were a few such who came
up to the funeral of the Alliance,
and they "never expected to see
another meeting of the State Alliance
they wanted t 10 "Exchange
funds called in and returned
to the original contributors."
The whole thing was
gone ; thev had come up "to burv
Ctfpsar, not to praise him." Twas
not that they loved Cmsar less
(the Alliance) but they loved
their own selfish little schemes
and plans more, and for this they
would destroy the work of years
that many have done for the rank
and file of the organization.
The Alliance organization is in
better shape than it has been in
the past five years. It is true
not as much money was paid in
dues as might have been expected,
but there was a reason
for that which will be fully explained
in these colums before
another year rolls around.
The Alliance organ, The Cotton
Plant, was freely discussed.
Col. Jas. A. Iloyt, the publisher,
appeared before the body and
made a statement of the business
condition and prospects ol the
paper. His report showed the
paper in much belter shape than
it was just twelve months ago; |
all the old claims for suhserip |
tif>11 credits had been adjusted ;
all back indebtedness wiped out.)
and only bona fide subscribers I
i
were now retained on the books.
As the saying goes, a prominent
Allianceman in his county "let
the cat out of the brig" when be
said : "Our people in many in
stances think the paper is on its
last leg>; it, has been shitted
about so in the last few years!
i
that many think it vriil not be
able to continue, and th ivfore
they don't pay up and they don't '

brother that he was wrong and
that all who thought like him
were badly mistaken; the papei
is now over its worst troubles,
and will be continued if there is
any proper ecouragetnent given
the publisher. Don't keep him
out of what you are due him, hut
pay that amount and also renew,
and ask your neighbor to do like
wise, and we will give you a
paper better worth one dollat
than any paper you receive at
your fireside. So much for The
Cotton I'lant ; take it and pay
for it, and stop reading the copy
your neighbor has paid for.
The business of the State Exchange
was very thoioughly dis
cussed, and of course it was very
gratifying to us that us the business
department of the organization
it was most heartily endorsed
by all but a few instructed dele
gates. The overwhelming couseu
sus of opinion was that we must
have some business department :
that the Exchange had done a
good work and we ought to stand
by it, and it was done, both by
the State Alliance and the County
Trustee Stockholders. The investment
of the State Exchange
funds in the < apital stock of the
Farmers'A Mechanics' Hank v.ai
fully discussed, and after the del
egates were shown that the 111011
ey was perfectly safe and prop
erlj' invested by the action of
tirst, the sub-Alliances ; then the
county alliances, and finally the
unanimous action of the Count}
Trustee Stockholders, the State
Alliance declined to ask that the
money be withdrawn from the
bank ; also the County Stockhold
ers refused by a very large ma
jority to cousider the (juestion o
withdrawing the money as lonj
an the Exchange continued th<
work it waH doing so well.
We sum up the result of th<
State Alliance aR developing tin
following:
Notwithstanding the action o

who seem seeking its death, tin
alliance is not dead, neitner doe
it sleep.
The Cotton Plant is the oflicia
organ and it fast regaining it
former place in the hearts of thi
masses of our farmers, althougl
some who have received the lion'i
share of the "good things" fur
nished by the alliance organiza
tion, are not paying subscriberi
but read borrowed copies.

The investment of the State Ex

object in view, and that is t,
