PIBLlSHED EVERY THURSDAY AT NEWBERRY, S. C. A DAZZLING SCHEME. The Twine Trust's Proposition to the Far -ners-Secret Conclave With Alliance Leaders-A $10,000,000 Supply Agen cy, with Branches, Suggested, To Be Presented to the Alliance. N$w YoRK, July 14.-In a secret conclave of representative Farmers' Alliance men from all parts of the country, held recently at an out-of-the way hotel in the vicinity of this city, there was concocted a daring financial and commercial scheme which it is intended to propose to the farmers of the country, and which rivals in its character and magnitude the sub treasury scheme. Measures began to be taken in March to get together a sufficient number of the leaders in the Alliance movement to give the project an effective paren y> tage, and they were attended with sucn success that over thirty of them were brought together in this city, June 22 The scheme was the joint invention of H. H. Balch, secretary of the National Cordage company (by which the Twine and Bagging Trust is incorporated) and Oswald Wilson, president of the Farm ers' Alliance exchange of this city, both of whom hope to secure pleasant offices in the projected reorganization. Mr. Balch, it is said, presented to the corporation *hich he is the secretary such a luring picture of the advan to be gained by connection with the scheme that it undertook to pay the expenses of the proposed meeting and the traveling hotel expenses of the people attending it. Mr. Wilson can vassed the South and West in person in the interest of the project and se lected the men to be invited to come in on the ground floor. When all things were ready and the list had been made sufficiently influential in appearance to suit the concocters, notices were sent to the selected individuals to meet at the Astor House in this city, Sunday, June 21. Nearly every invitation brought its man, but a few of the schemers went to another hotel instead of the one ap pointed as the general rendezvous and thereby nearly gave the scheme away. They were corralled by the leaders, however, and escorted with other del egates to Crede's South Beach Hotel, on the bay shore side of Staten Island, where the conclave was held behind closed doors. A GOODLY GATHERING. Besides Balch and Wilson the fol lowing men were present at the meet ing : Col. W. Peek, of Georgia, presi dent of the Georgia Alliance executive committee ; C. WN. Macune, editor of The National Economist of Washing ton, chairman of the National Alliance executive committee and father of th notorious sub-treasury scheme ; D). F. *Allen, of Hornellville, N. Y. ; J. F. of Tennessee ; Rev. J. A. Sligh, of Newber.y, S. . nA ' member of the South Carolina Legisia ture ; W. W. Holland, of the National Cordage company ; S. Otho Wilson, of North Carolina; J. J. Rogers, of V ir ginia,~ Frank J. Claypole and M. D). Coffeen, of Kansas ; A. E. Spl*ague and George A. Gowan, of Tennessee ; George G. Cross, of Pennsylvania; John M. Massay,.of Thomasville, Ga.; C. E. Hamlin, from the West (Nebras ka, it was thought); A.oWardall, of South Dakota; George F. Garther, of Birmingham ; business agent of the Alliance for Alabama ; A. E. Cole, of Florida ; J. A. Wickman and William Dehon; of Florida, M. Barbee, of Ken tucky ; A. T, McIntyre, of Thomas ville, Ga., who expects to be the gen eral Southern manager; J. T. Crawford, Dallas, Tex. ; T. A. Clayton, of Louis iana ; one McIntyre, a lawyer of Thomasville, Ga., brother of A. T. Mc Intyre; W. H- Worth, of Raleigh, State business agent of the Alliance in North Carolina, and tG. H.'Peck, an attache of the National Cordage company, as sistant to Boss Balch. There were two or three others who did not register at the South Beach Hotel, but who attended all the meet ings, returning to their hotels in this city at night. Among them was a representative of the Alliance in Ohio and one from Chicago.. .The meetings were held in the main dining room on the second floor, which looks out from a broad piazza over the Atlantic. The Chicago man, w'hose name could not be ascertained to-day, was elected chairman. Meetings were held Monday night, nearly all day Tuesday and Wednesday morning, June 22, 23 and 24. Nearly all the persons attending remained at thze South Beach hotel throughout the three days. The National Cordage company is said to have footed the bill. A DAZZLING SCHEME. The scheme which Balchu and Wilson launched upon the meeting was for a national organization of Alliance stores and exchanges throughout the coun try, with a national headquarters in this city, a principal branch establish ment in Chicago, state central ex changes in every State, district organi zation in every Congressional district and county, and city exchanges wher ever feasible. The object was to con trol the trade of the Alliance members, selling to them on the co-operative plan through the local exchanges everything tbey should ever wish to buy. at a slight advance on the whole sale prices; the head office to pay for the merchandise ; to handle the sur plus products of the farms for the farmers, and to act as bankers for them whenever. The branch headquarters at Chicago were designed as a main source of sup ply for pork, lard, flour and other pro visions, and for some kinds of agricul tural implements, wagons and furni ture. From New York, or through the agency there, it was designed to make all necessary purchases in a wholesale way, of machinery, boots and shoes, clothing, hats and caps, sewing machines, harness, carpets, oil cloths, fertilizers, hardware, dry goods, medicines, weapons, books, and such other stuff as could not be obtained to But this gigantic scheme could not be floated without substantial capital and without the general acceptance and co-op-ation of the members of the Alliance. 'he National Cordage com pany stood ready, provided it was given exclusive privileges in the sup ply of cotton bagging and binder twine to the Alliance exchanges, to lend sub stantial financial assistance to the scheme, and some of the p- aoters were very ready to accept it; p. >posi tion. Bnt Colonel Peck, of Georgia, refused to countenance any such iron clad agreement. He was willing to arrange with the Twine Trust to pay its own price for such of its cotton bagging and twine as the members and exchanges might want ; but he had recently investigated a new kind of cotton bagging of which he thought very favorably, and he not propose to be bound so that he could not buy some if he wanted to. Enough of the others joined him to prevent the consumma tion of the little $10,000,000 scheme of the Twine Trust. Finally it was pro posed to effect a corporate organization under as favorable legal c; ditions as could be obtained-and the New Jer sey law regardling corporations was considered quite sufficently accom modating-with a nominal capital of at least $10,000,000, A system of pre ferred proprietary shares of this class to be apportioned among the present promoters, and to be nonassesable, paid up and everlasting. These shares only should be represented in the governing organizations. Then there was to be an issue of common shares, which should be open to subscription by the local exchanges and their individual members, upon which the directors should levy assessments as necessary in order to provide funds for the trans action of business of the central ex change. But the holders should be entitled to no share of the government of the institution. THE PLAN TO BE PUSHED. The scheme as set forth was gen erally acceptable, and some of the pro moters were for having it immediately approved and put in operation ; but Colonel Peck and Messrs. Gowan and Garther were opposed to such a sum mary proceeding. They were appar ently unable to satisfy themselves of the wisdom of the scheme and would not consent to have anything to do with it until it had received the ap proval of the Alliance through its various channels of expression. Accordingly the scheme was formu lated in a glowing prospectus, in which the name of the institution was quoted as the National Alliance Union and resolutions were adopted calling upon the State exchanges to submit the scheme to the judgment of their subor dinate district and county exchanges. The resolutions further provide that if, and when a sufficient number of the subordinate exchanges, speaking through their respective Stat~e er changes, approve the plan) ttre chair man of the South BeaKr ieeting shall issue a call for a ional con'vention of State delega e to consider and form ulate finally adopt and organize th scheme. Secret circulars to this effect have been sent to the State ex changes of every State where there is one to be found. The district treas urers are being quietly educated to the plan and will presently go out among the alliances to boom it along. Alluring promises of cheap prices to the farmer, high prices for his produce and long dividends on the shares will be expected to buy, to provide "work ing capital" for the proprietary share holders, will ibe the inducements held out to him.

Remedies for some other derange ment are frequently taken without the least effect, because it is the liver which is the real source of the trouble, and until that is set right there can be no health, strength, or comfort in any part of the system. Mercury, in some form, is a common specific for a slug. gish liver; but a far safer and more effective medicine is Ayer's Pills. For loss of appetite, bilious troubles, consti pation, indigestion, and sick headache, these Pills are unsurpassed. "For a long time I was a sufferer from ,tomach, liver, and kidney troubles, expe riencing much difficulty in digestion, with severe pains in the lumbar region and other parts of the body. Having tried a variety of remedies, including warm baths, with only temporary relief, about three months ago I began the use of Ayer's Pills, and my health is so much improved that I gladly testify to the superior merits of this medicine." - Manoel Jorge Pereira, Porto, Portugal. "For the cure of headache, Ayer's Cathar tic Pills are the most effective medicine I ever used."-It. K. James, Dorchester. Mass. "When I feel the need of a cathartic, I take Ayer's Pills, and find them to be more effec tive than any other pill I ever took."-Mrs. B. C. Grubb, Burweliville, Va. " I have found in Ayer's Pills, an invalua ble remedy for constipation, biliousness, and kindred disorders, peculiar to miasmatic localities. Taken in small and frequent doses, these Pills Act Well on the liver, restoring its natural powers, and aiding it in throwing off malarial poisons." - C. F. Alston, Quitman, Texas. "Whenever I am troubled with constipa tion, or suffer from loss of appetite. Ayer's Pills set me right again."-A. J. Kiser, Jr., Rock House, Va. "In 1858, by the advice of a friend, I began the use of Ayer's Pills as a remedy for bil iousness, constipation, high fevers, and colds. They served me better than anything I had previously tried, and I have used them in attacks of that sort ever since."- H. W. Hersh, Jdsonia, Ark. * Ayer's Pills, PREPARED BY OR. J. C.

A perfect trea sure in pink gingham got on to a Broadway car, and immediately all the men forgot their newspapers. She was as soft and fresh as a rose, and seemed to have the fragrance of one in her brown curls. The conductor of the car had red colored hair and malignant eyes. To him the fair young woman handed a dime. The conductor looked at the coin as it lay on his grimy palm and banded it back to the girl. "That's no good," said he. "It's punched." "It's what?" asked the girl, glancing at the piece of money. "It's punched. It's got a hole in it.", "Ah, so it has. Don't you like coins hat have holes in them?" "No, I don't. We don't take 'em." "You don't take them?" raising her iolet_ eves.to the conductor's facc. He ad not noticed her beauty before. As e looked on- her sume of the malignant ight faded out of his eyes. "Well, you didn't punch the hole in it, did you?'" he said. "Oh, no," replied the girl. "I am sorry that the hole is there." "Of course you are. Well I suppose, iss, we must, bear and forbear with each other in this world." "That is very true. We m-ust do to others as we would be done by." "Exactly. And if I was to get on a car and did n't have anything but a unched dime, I'd-" "Now, I shouldn't be surprised if you didn't have only this dime with you?" "That is all I have." "Well, if I change the dime for you and give you two good nickles you can give me one nickel back, and I can pay that into the company for your fare. I now.a beer saloon where they don't ake any question about punched oin, and I can get rid of the dime here." "Oh, that's so good of you. Thank you. Why, how very nice- I'm sure. By the way, could I trouble you to oJen this window at my back? Thanks. like fresh air." A flower fell from a bunch that she wore at her throat, and the conductor itooped to secure it and return it to "I think you may keep that," said he beauty, with a smile that made the young man giddy; "or,if you don't want K, you might throw it away for me. rhe stem is so short. I shouldn't be ble to pin it to my dress again." The conductor, blushing like a peony, ould make no'more conversation. He withdrew to his platform, and stood here is a dazed way sniffling at the lower that had been lately at the girl's hroat. When the victorious maiden ighted at Forty-second street the Iriver, who had been aware of the pisode by hearing the remarks through .he open door, turned and called hrough the car to the cond' or: "Clancy, you make mue tired." But Clancy only pressed the flower ohi nose, and said: "Go on! You ld n't see her eyes." Thousands have beed relieved of in igestion and loss of appetite by a sin le bottle of Ayer's Sarsaparilla.
