We are informed that a meeting of delegates from Alliances in the Third Congressional District will be held at Belton to-morrow, Friday. For what purpose we do not know. The Future Progress Society of South Carolina-a benevolent order among the colored people-will hold its State convention in the Bethlehem Baptist Church in Newberry on March 5th. A call for a county convention of farmers, is published in this issue, to be held at Newberry on March 15, to send delegates to the Farmers' State Con vention on the 27th of March. Mont Cannon and Bill Gilliam are charged with being accessories after the fact to the killing of Jack Davis last week at Jalapa by Dock Sligh. They have been arrested and are now in jail. Dock Sligh is still at large. Mrs. Emma Halfacre has purchased from Mr. Carlisle the little cottage in Helena, formerly the property of Mr. T. P. Lane, and moved into it. She is having the place improved and will make it a comfortable home. The new two-cent postage stamp is now to be seen on letters coming from the large cities. It is a trifle smaller than the old green stamp, and is much prettier, the color being carmine. The Newberry postoflice has not yet re ceived any of the new stamps. The missionary mass meeting at the Lutheran Church last Sunday night was largely attended. Two good ad dresses were made, one by Mr. Geo. B. Cromer and one by Rev. A. J. Bowers, who always speak to the point and never fail to interest an audience. At Eli Perkins' lecture in the Opera House on Saturday night The Herald and News man noticed that the chairs in row I were occupied long before the other seats. How significant! Eli was not supposed to have had.anything to do with it. He had more to say about other people than himself. It is encouraging at this season, when failures get ripe and you haven't got much faith in anything earthy, to see loads of corn in the ear, wvith the shucks on, rolling around and over flowing the wagons. A dozen lotads passed this office the other day; and we see it every day. It looks like old times-the good old days. - The cotton receipts at New berry for the week ending yesterday were 150 bales.

Adams, the contractor, will fiiish that portion of the tzrading whicli was let to hint, extending froii one ile below Chapin to Mount Tabor, in Newberry County, which is along the re-ion of Little Mlountain, by to-morrow night, and this practically completes the grading.

Rice & Coleman, the con tractors, who have charge of the grad ing from the point left of;f by Major Adams to Prosperity. will complete their portion of the work, which has been done by -ub-contractors, by Satur day iiiht, thus tiishing the entire grading. The laying of the track was begun innedi:tely upon the comnipletion of the bridge, and eiaht miles have been laid, beginning from this city. The work of track laying has averaged half a Mile a day, but Engineer Ellis has increased the force and an average of three quarters of a mile a day is now reached. At this rate it w ill not be long before railroad connection with the Fork will he made.-('olunbia Record, :'+th. A new survey of the road between B;oydville and Newherry was con pleted last week. The line crosses the Columbia, and Greenville Road at Boydville and runs parallel with it to Newberry, coming into town at Gravel town, passes between the C. & G. passenger depot and Langford's ware house to a point near the Standard Oil house where it turns to the right and crosses Vincent street, running along the slope of the hill on the south of Scott's Creek, crossing Nance, Cald well and Adams streets, going through Mr. Werber's and crosses the creek in T. C. Pool's meadow. This survey has not been definitely decided.upon, but is likely to be adopted as the route, for the majority of the real estate owners along this route are willing for the road to go through their premises, There are about twenty one miles of track to be laid before the road reaches Prosperity, which will be finished in thirty days, and the cars will be running to Newberry by the 1st of Iay.

He is in the first class, and is the second man. Mr. W. '. Hentz, of Ponaria, a Senior in the South Carolina Univer sity, attained the grade of "distin guished" in the recent examinations. The average made for the grade was 90-95. Only one member of t be class attained an average of 953-100 in all the studies, which entitles him to be "hgl itinguished." Broke Into the Depot. Lewis Boozer, colored, on the night of 21st inst. was discovered by night watch man WN. C. Mieggett in thedeo at Newberry. He broke through a window, and when found by MIr. Meg gett mamiged1 to make his escape after being fired upon several times by the watchman. Mr. Mieggett recognized Boozer on the street next morning as the man who had broken in thle night before, and he was then arrested on a warrant issued by Trial Justice Gerardeau, and 1s now in jail. Boozer is the same ntegro who wvas tried here some time ago in connection with others on the charge of burning the barn of Mr. Pitts in No. fi Township and acqunitted. Another New Firmi. The young men of Newberry are still coiming to the front, and we should all be proud of it. This week Mlessrs. Proctor Todd and .J.

So we had better be on the lookout fer poets and spring dudes. If a stranger had been on our streets yesterday, and had'seen the crowd of insurance men "taking in the town," they would have thought that at least I half the town had burned up. But we ' are happy to say that no such misfor- .1 tune has been our lot. They were just on their way to Laurens to adjust the - cotton fire that occurred there last. i week. Among them were Maj. Hud son Lee, of Charleston, general agert f for the Lancashire Insuran,ce( 'ompany, a of England; Mr. J. S. 1I iddleton, of 1 Charleston, general a:rent for the Nor wich Union Insurance ('omripany, al d Mr. R. A. Hancock, of Atlanta, repre. I senting the Queen Insurance Company t of England. Two more of our young men have t launched the bark in the financial sea. And we can safely predict for them a safe entrance into the harbor of sur cess. For we know that they will keep a their sails trimmed, and steer close to e shore. The new firi is Thdd & l)aven- v port. They propose to keep a first-class dry goods store; and we have no doubt h that they will, as Mr. Davenport has a had several years' experience in hand- f ling dry goods, both here and in Au- '1 gusta. And he knows when a piece of goods is "all wool and a yard wide." t With Epps Brown to wait on the girls t and Douglas Davenport to wait on the . old-er maids and married ladies, the new firm is bound to succeed. Miss Hattie Jones has returned to e her home in Laurens after a visit of a week or two to Miss Lizzie Glenn. She i won while here a host of new friends a who regret her departure and will al- t ways assure her a hearty welcome ti whenever she visits New berry. Rev. C. P. Scott, who went to his old home in Virginia for a few days, was attacked by La Grippe and has not ar rived yet, but is expected home the latter part of this week. Eli Perkins "got there" as usual on y last Saturday night. Re held the at- n tention of the large and appreciative a audience for something over two hours. The city has been full of drummers t this week. g Editor W. H. Wallace, of the "Ob- t server, took'a flying trip to Columbia- b last Monday. It Miss McIntosh's new school building u is nearing completion. t Miss O. E. Garlington was the only person in Newberry who was so for- t tunate as to draw anything at the News and Courier drawing last week. She . drew Shakspeare's Complete Work in one volume. Several of the young people had a e group picture of themselves in their a~ Dickens costumes.t Mr. Burr Goggans has moved his s stock of goods to the stand recently va- o cated by Mr. Epstin, where the new a firm of E. M. Evans & Co., will hold b forth. The fire engine has been removed f: from the old house on the corner of ti Adams and Harrington streets, to the ti room under the Opera House recent:y e occupied by 0. Klettner. This is quite b an improvement on the old house, as g the engine is now within a very short fa distance of the cistern. "Young John" r seems proud of his new rooms, for he I has had his doors thrown wide open t most of this week inviting visitors to b. come in and inspect. t Mrs. Dr. J. A. Barksdale, of Laurens, ~ is on a visit, to her sister, Mrs. J. M. t Baxter. Capt. 0. L. Schumpert has had the ~ old house in front of Mr. J. N. Martin's taken down. Its absence improves the looks of the street very much. Messrs. Hunter & White have pain ted the followving sign over the new engine room: "Excelsior Fire Compiany,No. 1.' It is a very handsome piece of work and artistically done. The latest news from Dr. J. Ward Pelhamn is that his condition remnains I about the same. As soon as he is able to travel he will go to the' seashore. A very severe wind-storm passedc over us last Tuesday night, and for awhile those who were awake thoughtt of every cyclone that they had read about. Mr. J. D.

The hessian fly is becoming so umerous down here that they are mining into the houses. The writer ist knocked one from his desk. What iust we do with theni MIr.

The Jolly Street Alliance, with but ew exceptions, have decided to trade t Poniaria this year; and we think a _rge percentag.e of the Cannon's Creek 'lliance trade will drift off down that ray this year too; and we have also nirned that a portion of MIt. Pilgrim's rade will go to k')naria. What's the iatter, Prosperity? You must wake up r a sense of your duty, or when Little lountain and Little Pomaria get uiit up you will be left. Mr. Editor, we have in our possession n old violin with the following words ngraved on the inside, which we could be very much obliged if you ,ould translate and put under the Leading of this writing, the following re the words: "Andreas Guarnerius ceit Cremona - Sub Tituto Santa 'eresia, 1679." Farmers are unusually ahead with heir plowing, and if the weather con inues favorable there will be corn 'anted next week. One of our young married couples as teaching one another how to coionise quiet recently, and the lady ras about to get the advantage of her usband, when he exclaimed, "I know better way than that; we will have split the matches in two. It is too ex ravagant to strike a whole match at a me." There was a large congregation at ,achman Chapel last Sunday evening, nd our pastor, Iev. J. A. Sligh, reached one of his usual interesting rrmons, f-on Psalms 10: 12-13. The hole sermon taught that God does ot look upon sin with the least allow nee. Mr. Editor, a few words about the Jliance and then I am through. As his subject is becoming one of the reat issues of the day, and is agita ng the minds of a great many people, oth in and out of the order, a news aper writer is not noticed very much nless he has something to say upon e subject. There are different ques ,ons being asked about the Alliance by utsiders almost every day. Such ques ons as these: What is the Alliance oing ? What has it done? and in {iort, What can it do ? We know the lliance is like almost every other or anization in this respect. It has its nemies, and a vast amount of them, nd don't you forget it. We know that ere are a set of very shrewd and arp politicians who are going .to rhoop up in some round about way, fter a while, that it will never do to ring politics int'> the Alliance. We now that merchants and bankers, in ct all the monied monopolists, are gh ting join t notes, and the concentra ion of the farmer's trade through the xchange, or the adoption of trade ouses. While all this sort of stuff is oing on, -it is nothing more than the imers expected; in fact, it is nothing jore than they have been used sto. ut while they may succeed in over browing a few joint notes, and let it e possible that they could tear down he exchainge for the present, it is in no rse likely that they will ever be able >disorganize the farmers, for they are etting deep rooted, and the more you hake them the stronger they grow. Now we propose to answer some of he above named questions. First, What is the Alliance doing? hy, it is doing more for the farmers an any other organization that has ver beeni introduced. What has be ome of the jute trust? How many housand dollars has the Alliance aved its brethren by dowvning this ingle trust? Will we not be better repared in downing the second attack han the first? Do you suppose that ur merchants will be as scared to rder cotton bagging this fall as they vere last? No doubt they said within henmselves, "we will just order a little .t a time. We don't bel.ieve that the armers will stick, and the cotton bag ing will be left on our hands." If here was any bagging left on the nerchants' hands, is it not jute? In he second place, the Alliance is teach ng one thing that. has been of vital mportance ever since the war. There s no doubt but it is teaching its breth en to practice economy, and if it had lone nothing else than this, it would >e worth millions. Then some one sks, What has the Alliance done? Why it has been a saving to every far ner that has raised a bale of cotton, or the past twelve months, in advanc ng prices, at least, from three to four lollars on the hale. This will amount o thousands when summed up. This s only some of the workings of the rder in its infancy. Now when it be omes thoroughly organized what can t do sure enough. Why, we will drive nany an idle hand to thg plow handles, md teach them to eat their bread as Td has commanded them to do, "by he sweat of their brows." Another -ight we will exercise that we have mever had the opportunity of doing so ar, that is in revolutionizing the laws f our land. Sonme may cry out, it is no se for labor to fight against capital, Ld whenever they bring politics into he Alliance it is "bursted". You need ot make yourselves the least uneasy.

Reid, of Newberry, spent Thursday night with Mr. J. T. P. Cros son's family. Mr. James D. Kinard, of Newberry College, spent Saturday and Sunday at home.. The weather remains calm and pleasant, and our farmers are still pushing right along with their work. During the past month we have been reminded that we are living in a land of railroads. The sound of the whistle and roaring of the locomotive can be heard at almost any hour day or night. With the aparoaching C., N. and L. Railroad wve are expecting a general railroad racket in the near future. What would this life be without the steam engine. The coal burning engine pulling the freight train up from Columbia on last Thursday night dropped some of his red coal at the thirty-eight mile post near the academy and furnished light for those passing by during the night. The burning was only in traeni on side of the road, hence no damage was done. School Commissioner Arthur Kibler visited the Excelsior School last week. Mr. Kibler is certainly the right man in the right place, as he seemis to mani fest a deep interest in the working up of the various schools. Mr. A. M1. Counts hais been sick with a slight at tact of "Ia grippe." Mr. J1. T. P'. Crosson visited Colum bia and Lewiedale during the past week. Mr. Eddie S. Werts, of Saluda, came down on Saturday to spend several days with relatives and friends in this community. Mr. Werts informs us that he is speedily recovering his health again, and we hope he wvill soon be restored to his wonted health. Some sleet was observed in thi., com miunity on Saturday. Our~ weather p)rophet who predicted for a big snow in February seems to be a little behind time; however, he my catch up and whiten the earth vet Wait andl see.
