Gov't Report, Aug. 17', 1889. S l Powder ELY PURE THE COUNTY ALLIANCE. It Endorsed the Ocala Platform and Asks the Liberty Hail Sub-Alliance to Re scind Its Democratic Resolutions. The Newberry County Alliance held its annual meeting in the court house at Newberry last Friday. Eighteen sub-Alliances were represented by fifty nine delegates. There were also eleven otiicers present who were members ex oilicio of the ALiiance convention. There were a number of Alliancemen present as spectators. Three of the sub-Alli ances sent no delegates. Several Alli ancemen were in town who did not go ino the convention. The oflicers elected are: President, Rev. J. A. Sligh. Vice-president, R. T. C. Hunter. Secretary, C. F. Boyd. Treasurer, Benj. ialfacre. Lecturer, Dr. S. Pope. Assistant lecturer, John T. Duncan. Chaplain, Major Jacob Epting. Doorkeeper, Gus B. Summers. Sergeant-at-arms, John B. Fellers. Executive Conmittee-R. T. C. Hun :er. Col. L. P. Miller, H. C. Wilson. Committee on the Good of the Order El. H. Folk, Dr. W. E. Lake, T. W. Keitt. Delegate to State Convention-Rev. . A. Sligh. Delegates to District Alliance-W. E. Lake, John T. Duncan. The retiring president, Jos. L. Keitt, n delivering his annual message, stated hat the financial condition of the >rder in this county was good, that the igent of the Alliance at Newberry had )een paid his salary and that the rent >f the warehouse had be"n paid and ,hat there was still a balance in the reasury, and that the order in this ounty was in good working condition. [his much of the message is given out >y the secretary. The following resolu ion was adopted unanimously: SUB-TR EASURY ENDORSED. "Resolved, That we endorse to the ull all the demands adopted by the upreme council at Ocala last Decem er, and especially the sub-treasury cheme, and instruct our delegate to he State Alliance to vote accordingly." The following resolution was also dopted: "Resolved, .That Ne Aberry County Uliance act in unison with the rest of he State-in unison if possible with he other cotton States-in maintain ng an agent at 1 e w York to keep us osted as to the uotton market." This is all the information that the ecretary would furnish for publication. everal other resolutions were offered, .ud one matter especially that caused onsiderable debate, and in fact the >ly thing that caused any debate, ame up, but the secretary would give ut nothing concerning it. President Keitt, in closing his an ual message, held in his hand a copy f The Herald and News in which some esolutions were published two weeks go and read them to the Alliance, and aid that the Alliance should take cog izance of them and recommended hat the county Alliance pass a resolu ion, asking the Liber'y all Sub-Alli nce to rescind the resoiutions, inas uuch as they were in opposition to the ights of the majority rule. THE LIBERTY HALL RESOLUTIONS. "Whereas, the Farmers' Alliance is .non-political organization; and where , there is a disposition on the part of ome of our leading Alliancemen to in roduce political measures into the Al jance that will bring about discord .nd detriment to the Democratic party ' South Carolina; and whereas, there 3 an effort on the part of some Alli nces to create opposition to Governor . R. Tillman on account cf' his views n the sub-treasury bill. "Resolved, That we pledge our un ivided support to the Democratic arty of South Carolina. "2. That we will oppose any effort r measure that tends to the destroying f the Democratic party of South Caro ia. "3. That we heartily endorse the ews expressed by Governor B. R. illman on the sub-treasury bill so far s its merits have yet been discussed. "JOHN WV. SCOTT, President. "JAS. S. McCARLEY, Secretary." A SPIRITED DISCUSSION. During the progress of the meeting a esolution was offered in accordance rith the recommendation of the presi ent. This brought forth the discus ion. Mes.qrs. Jno. W. Scott and J. S. IcCarley, of the Liberty Hall Alliance, efended the action of their Alliance, nd for a time the discussion was pirited and lively. Mr. John T. Duncan, also a member f the Liberty Hall Alliance, was in vor of the rescinding resolution. He aid he was not present at the meeting f his Alliance when they ado pted the esolutions, and if he had been he ould have opposed them. He said e trouble with the members of his lliance, who adopted those resolu ions, was that they were not informed nd needed to be enlightened, needed ducation. Lecturer Talbert spoke on the same ne, and to some extent ridiculed the tion of the Liberty Hall Alliance, nd said that the members of the Lib rty Hall Alliance needed information, d that nobody was opposed to the ib-treasury except bankers and poli cans. The flings at their intelligence aroused [essrs. Scott and McCarley, and they ~torted rather sharply and pointedly. Mr. Scott told Mr. Duncan that the iberty Hall Alliance had dragged and ngered almost unto death under his residency, with all his learning and terature and Alliance information, ntil it became necessary to remove im from the presidency, and that un er the new administration it was ourising and in a healthy condition. But the resolution was adopted, and 2e Liberty Hall Alliance was asked to sind the resolution ini question, by a ote of the County Alliance as opposed the demands of the Supreme Coun 1 at Ocala, and being in contraven on of the right of the majority to rule. It will go out that the sub-treasury Ian was unanimously adopted by the lewberry County Alliance, and so it -as, ostensibly, for none of those who id not favor it voted against it. But u2ere were quite a number who were ot in favor of theescheme, as one could asily learn by talking with the dele ates on the streets after the adjourn aent of the Alliance. It is hardly probable that the Liber SHall Alliance will rescind the reso itions as requested by the County Al ance. What wiu be the effect of the isubordination of the Lrberty Hall liance, in case the resolutions are not scinded, The Herald and News is nable to say. Altogether the meeting was a very leasant and harmonious one. In this unty tl'ere is considerable difference opinion among Alliancemen on the b-treasury scheme as now proposed. There were three candidates voted >r county lecturer, but Dr. Samp >n Pope got more votes than both of e others, and was elected on the first allot. Rev. J. A. Sligh is a sub-treasury ivocate, and, with the instructions in e resolutions above, Newberry Coun will be for the sub-treasury in the Cate Alliance. Lecturer Talbert came in from Co mnbia abaut 12 o'clock on Receiver am berlai n's.private car. He spent I of his time in the'-Alliance, and not dozen town folk knew he was in the MR. CHIAMBERLAIN'S COURTESY. [News and Courier.] CoLUMBIA, July 1i.-Ex-Governor1 mamberlain and State Lecturer Tal rt met to-day on board the receiver's ivate ear. Mr. Chamberlain said hei et Col. Talbert at Irmo, on the Co mbia,' Newberry and Laurens Rail ad, and the lecturer being duieMa the ~.. -,-,-1 Newberry County Alliance meeting, and being behind time, he offered the State lecturer the courtesies of his car, which were accepted. Mr. Chamberlain declined to say what inroads, if any, he made into the good graces of th s Alliance. He would say, however, that Col. Talbert was not riding on a free pass when he met him. Mr. Chamberlain said he also had the pleasure of meeting at Newberry the Rev. J. A. Sligh and Mrs. Sligh and the baby, all of whom he invited into his private car and extended them courtesies of the car down to Sligh's Station. The Rev. Mr. Sligh was elected to-day a delegate to the State Alliance. Mr. Chamberlain would not give the result of these successive meetings. Col. Talbert said it was his haste to get to the Alliance meeting, where be bad important business, that induced him to accept theee railroad courtesies, and that he assured the Ex-Governor if he would dispose of his law books, buy a bushel of sweet potato seed and go to work he would welcome him into the Alliance. Deafness Can't be Cured by local applicaiions, as they can not reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con dition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be de stroyed forever ; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is noth ing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by Catarrh) that we can not cure by taking Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circu lars, free. F. J. CIIENEY & CO., Toledo, Ohio.

Putting up a Firut-Class Gin nery-The CanLing Factory at Work The Big Alliance Picnic on the 29th -Personal Notes of Interest. [Special to The Herald arid News.] PROSPERITY, S. C. July 2.--The nem enterprises springing up in Prosperity show greater activity in business circle. and predict a prosperous fu,ure for her Messrs. Cook Bros. have decided tc place a first-class ginnery in town They have purchased two sixty-saa Lummusgins,atwenty-five horse powel engine, a steam press and suction ele vator. These enterprising men deserve success. This gives Prosperity twc ginneries. The Prosperity Canning Company commenced work Tuesday afternoon, This means something to tOis commu nity. To have an outlet for fruits,vege tables, etc., and to be able to get cash for them in mid-summer i something that our people or unaccustomed to. This consideration alone should cotu mend the enterprise to every indi vidual and everybody should labor for its success. The freight train on the C. & G. road was wrecked Saturday night about four miles below here. As it was crossing the "hill" a portion of the train broke loose which run into the first see ton, derailing six cars anti causing a considerable "smashup." The Alliance picnic and barbecue here on the 29th promises t be one of the largest gatherings ever held in this part of the county. The distinguished speakers to be present and the subject -the sub-treasury-will be a great at traction. Would it not be a good sug gestion to the committee of arrange ments to apply to the railread authori ties to see if a special train c)uld ne had to run from Belton in the lrorning and return in the evening, we believe the train would receive sufficient patronage to pay, and would give all an opportu nity to hear the sub-treasury fully dis cussed. The following is a copy of Dr. Stokes' letter to Gen. Butler, inviting him to discuss the sub treasury: ORANGEBURG S. C., Z'uly 13, 1891. Hon. M. C. Butler, Edgefield, S. C., Dear Sir: I notice from the papers that you are to address the people of Prosperity July 29th on the sub-treasury plan of the Farmers' Al liance. It is presumed that the purpose of all concerned Is to develope the truth and get all the light possible. I ou a.re on record, 1 believe, in opposition to the rmeasure, and it would therefore seem desire ble that ar rangements be made for a joint discussion in which both sides shall be represented by de baters who have convictions tehind them. I shall be please- to arrange a discussion with you either for myself or some b3liever In the principles of the sub-treasury. . say myself or some other, because I have evgagements which claim my attention at that time, ,ut if I fail to get a man to discuss it with .you, will cancel the engagements arid meet you myself. Awaiting your early reply, very trul.y yours. J. WX. SToKES. When it was learned that Dr. Stoke's letter to M. C. Butler wou.d be pub lished, Gen. Butler was :elegraphed asking his consent to publish;his reply. As the telegram was sent at a late hour no reply has been received at this writing. Mr. Talbert certaily made a fine im pression on some of his hEarers when lecturing before the County Alliance at Newberry. One member of the order remarked after returning home, "I wish Talbert was my daddy." That sounds like catching the "boys." The announcement of the death of Dr. O. B. Mayer, Sr., brought sadness to the hearts of the people of this sec tion. Tbe Doctor had hosts of friends in this community who extend to the bereaved family their sympathies.

It is peculiar to human natnre that we rarely appreciate the good things we have at our own doors until we have them not. We are rarely aware of the advantages we enjoy until they are taken from us. Possibly in some respects it is a wise provision that the human mind is never satisfied. The man who constantly views the gran deur of the ocean sees nothing grand in it. He who lives among the moun tains does not always appreciate thier picturesqueness nor the sublimity of tha scenery that surrounds him. When we assert that within fifteen miles of Newberry less than an hour's ride, nature has provided a place that for locality of view, sublimity of scenery, picturesqueness, clear and crystal springs of sparkling water, de lightful climate, and healthfulness that will rival many of the now famous watering places. Some of our readers will no doubt question the statement, and no doubt many of those who have lived in full view and under the shadow of the place will be amazed at the statement. Yet such is the fact, and it being so will demonstrate the appropriateness of this introduction. We do not always appreciate the ad vantages and blessings we enjoy. Little Mountain, sometimes called Ruff's Mountain, on the line of New berry and Lexington Counties, twenty eight milles from Columbia and fifteen miles from Newberry, on the Colum bia, Newberry and Laurens Railroad. can be made one of the most delight ful summer resorts in this country, and that is proposed to make out it. For many years it has stood there, Na ture's own handiwork, ready to be utilized for summer residences, but man has neglected it and sought pleas ant summer sojourns at other points. But railroads are great developers, and the completion of the Columbia, Newberry and Laurens Railroad along the side and at the foot of this moun tain has attracted man's attention and this mountain is now to be utilized as a summer resort. About four years ago the Piedmont Land Improvement and Investment Company, realizing the value of this mountain as a summer resort, bought from Mr. F. H. Dominick about four hundred acres of land including the mountain. The railroad has been completed and it is proposed to direct attention to the mountain. This company is composed of live and successful business men, and what they put their hands to will move on to success. The directors of the company are: H. C. Moseley, of Prosperity, M. A. Carlisle, of Newberry, J. H. Counts, of Lexington, and Zohn T. Sloan, Jr.., W. H. Gibbes, and T. T. Moore, of Co lumbia. The officers of the company are H. C. Moseley, President; Gieo. S. Mower, Attorney and Secretary. The executive committee, in whose hands has been placed the manage ment of the sale of the lots on Little Mountain are: H. C. Moseley, John T. Sloan, Jr., and M. A. Carlisle. Under the direction of the active and enterprising president, Mr. H. C. Moseley, who.is also treasurer, and to whose business tact the committee has left in large manner the whole manage ment, on top of the mountain has been laid off some thirty-fo'ir half-acre lots suitable for residence pir.me. There are really three moutains in the range, and they are designated as East, Middle and West Mountains. On East Mountain there are eighteen desirable half acre lots, on Middle Mountain ten and on West Mountain six. A nice plat of these lots and of the whole Mountain has recently been made by Mr. Hasel Thomas. Between East and Middle Mountains there is a good road or street leading up to the mountain from the railroad station, right of way over the land of Mr. G. M. Boland being given. This company contemplates building a large and comfortable hotel on the top of the middle mountain. The view from this would be charming. The mountain is one thousand feet above the sea-level and from the sum mit one can see for miles and miles around. The altitude of the mountain is about on a level with Spartanburg and other favored places of the up country. An opportunity will be ofiered at this sale, on August 5th, for thirty-four lucky people to buy these lots, situated1 one thousand feet above the sea level and commanding a fine view of the surrounding country. -C r I ONIE KNJOY@ 1 Both the method and results when* Syrup of Figs is taken; it is pleasant a and refreshing to the taste, and acts a gently yet prompty on the Kidneys, p Liver and Bowes cleanses the sys- P tem effectually, dispels colds, head-V aches and fevers and cures habitual E constipation.

THREEJ REASONS WHY.B E Has it ever occurred to you that, inl N electing a company in which to assure tour life, there are three points which, f correctly ascertained, will determine eyond all question the best company r you to choose? ? Hrthey are: FIRsT-SAFETY. SECoND-CONTRACT. TInn-EESUJLTS. I. SAFETY (or Strength) is all impor at: for an insurance contract Is either en ered into for a long period of years or for life In the case of an Insurance company (as rith an individual or with any other businessL rganization), strength is determined;by the mount of assts OVER AND A BOVE A LL LIA ImES; or, In other '.ords, by the Surrlus. As the surplus of the Equitable Life Assur nce Society of the tJnited States on Dec. st, 189J, amlounteQ L) Twenty-three and Three arter Xilionsu (a sum many millions In xess of the surplus held by any other life >mpany in the world), and as the Equitable's tio of assets to liabilities is 125 per cent., e., $125 to meet each $100 of indebtednes (a. rcentage greatly In excess of that of any her leading company), the question of eatest safety must be decided In favor of I e Equitable. ASSETS..........1 19,243,744 LIABILITiES (4 per cent) 95,593,297 rT SURPLUS--..........--23,740,447 2. CONTRACT (or Policy).-This deter ines your rights and privileges. The Free ontine policy and application of the Equl ble is free from any and all restrictions ter one year, is absolutely incontestable ~ter two years,gives a choice of six methods settlement at the end of the stated period, d Is payable immediately on receipt of oofs of death. Compare this with the. licy of any other company, and the - rdict will n:ecessarily be in favor of thte :uitableI . BESULTS.-The settlements that are ing made on the twenty-yer Tontine pol les of' the Equitable Society, maturing In I n, show a cash return to the~polcy-holder mself, IN ADDITION to the protection fur shed by the life assarance for twenty years, all the premiums paid, with interest at m 2", to 7 per cent- per annum besides :cording to the kind of policy and age of e assured;. No other company can show4 ch resnits, and hence it Is that the Equita s business has out.stripped that of every er assurance organization urther information will be promptiy rnished on application to JAS.
