[The State, 2ud.] Col. D. P. Duncan one of the dele |ates from this State to the supreme )ouncil of the Farmers Alliance re :ently held iu the city of Memphis, has een rather dodging the newspaper nen since his return, saying, that he iad nothing to report and that he did iot think he had any information that he outside public would be interested n. Yesterday evening he was cornered a his office and in speaking of how :he meeting impressed him he said: "Ekken as a. whl'I was very favora bly impressed with the meeting and I believe these meetings have been and will continue to be fruitiul of much good; they will do more towards bring ing the entire agricultural interest to ether on one common platform for the discussion and development of their mutual material benefit and advance ment than all other agencies put to gether. "Afteryou discard the politicians, the ,ranks and thei isms, every thoughtful wide-awake mai can always learn iomething from & body of representa tive farmers brougit toget.her from all ver this vast agricultural country. And one ofthe mostinterested features bout the meeting to me, was the discussions among 'he individual members dato their modes, plans and methods of farming as conducted in their various sections." "What have you to~ say about the Third party feature?" "While in Memphis I occupied a room with the president of the Georgia State Alliance,.. whom I have known for some years. He is an extreme Third party man, and of course we had various discussions. I can give you a remark of his which I think will express the views of even the extreme Third party men: 'We have a majority of the delegates present of our way of thinking, and are you sur prised that we should vote for them to fill the offices of the supreme council? We don't wish or intend to make the Alliance a political party.' "A conservative delegate from In diana, a Republican, remarked: 'I voted the Third party ticket this elec tion, because the men represented my views.

Sligh was born in New erry County, four miles north of New erry, on December 13, 3835. He went to school at the Lexington Academy, Lud afterwards was a student at New erry College, but did not graduate, ye ing prevented by the war. He served ne year in the war in Company D, 3th South Carolina regiment, and hen received a discharge. -He has been a minister of tnle Lutheran ghurch wenty-nine years, and for twenty.eight years he has been pastor of St. Paul's Dhurch in Newberry County. Mr. ligh has served two terms in the Rouse of Representatives, in 1880 and [882, and one term in the Senate, from 884 to 1888, when he was again a can lidate, being defeated by Gen. Y. J. Pope. Mr. Sligh early championed the Re rm -Movement, and is one of its ecognized leaders in the State, being very effective as a speaker both on the stump and in the halls of legislation. Eis candidacy for the Senate at the .ast primary resulted in his election, ivbich makes him beczame the second ime a member of that body. Mr. ligh is an Alliance man. He declared >n the stump that he would stick to be Democratic party, and advised his ~ollowers to do the same. It is to the redit of Mr. Sligh to say that he is a successul farmer, and has taken an wtnv part to advance the agricultural party man , and I may never vote that way al n. Two years from now I shall vote for the men who advodate the principles I believe, be he Demo crat,. Republican, Populist or some other party man.' "While a majority of the delegates thought President Loucks was entitled to the position of president, I think many were influenced by reasons other wise than his being a Thirdparty man. Col. Polk, a Southern zan4-bhad been president for -t1ireeaearsand they claimed that now tie^presidency should go to the Northwest. President Loucks impressed. those who opposed him very favorably, by stating after his election that if it was thought 'best by the council and in the interest of the general welfare-of the orderfor him to resign the presidency, he would most cheertully do so and support any one the council might agree upon." "How about the Macune with drawal?" "Well that is a long story and there is no need to go over it again. My opinion is that if some of the officials of the Third party had stayed away from Memphis we would not have heard of any division or disagreement; it was unfortunate that the meeting occurred so soon after the general elec tion, and in future the Supreme Coun cil will meet in February instead of November." "What of the future of the Alliance, and what about this decline in mem bership?" "A very original Texas delegate said in his State a great many men joined the Alliance to buy things cheap, when the fact of the business was they did not have any money to buy such at any price, and so. those had quit. The organization is going to get rid of its driftwood and.continue right along with its work. It may occasionally .-elevate some unworthy person; it may run ever some deserving one; but this is the farmers' great work brought into existence by similar combinations by all other classes and conditions of men. The farmers cannot give it up if they would; if it should down to-day as the Alliance, it would appear to morrow under aio' her name. It has come to stay."

He is a sozgof the late Baruch Duncan, who was long one of the most promi nent and worthy citizens of the north ern section of the county. He entered Frman University at the age of 15, and graduated there in 1882, being com pelled to lapse one year during the course on account of a serious aff'ection of his eyes. Just as he finished the course at Furman he assumed the man gement of the farm on account of the impaired health of his father, which disarranged somewhat his plans for the future. Since that time he has regu larly engaged in fanning on the home place. Mr.Duncan first became prominent in the Farmers' Movement, having been secretary of that organization until it was merged into the Alliance. He has been from the first a devoted Tillman ite. Tillman's first visit to Newberry, in 1886, was in company with Mr. Dun can, and it may truly be said that he introduced him to Newberry, and has stood by him ever since an4 will be one of his most ardent adherents in the General Assembly. This is Mr. Dun can's first term in the Legislature, and he has never before held public office, although he has been prominent iri the State conventions during the last four ears. CURIOSITIES IN THE sai. c B Some Eare Spectmens of Governor Till- a man's Correspondence. - t1 [The Register, 2nd.i Governor Tillman frequently receives some rare curiosities in the way of cor- a respondence. In many of the letters the trifling rules of spelling, punctua tion and composition are not allowed C to destroy the force of thewriter's sledge-hammer xpressions of their convictions and optnions. Yesterday the Governor received two 1 gems, both sparkling with novel na ratives of experience, and sc1ntIlfating I with suggestions. e mes of the writers are;for vidi reasons, withheld, but this de- , tracts nothing from theinterest of the, letters. The first runs as follows: ,Nov. 28,1892.: Gov. B. R. Tilrman, Chief Executive-t S. C.. ] Dear Sir: I wrote Your Excellency ] and gave you a;few hints as how the j poor, honest people of our State are being linposedon by the cursed lien t law. Being myself experienced in the I business for ten years, I don't think anyone is -better posted as to its wrongs than I am. My collections has been all the way from 40 to 86 per cent. on. the dollar let out, and on the year If was obliged to sell at a very large mar gin to even hold my own and I fnd1 by the ten years' business I am about to-end up that good, honest, poor peo ple have been keeping up the lazy negro and the white raskels.. Now these people are ignorant - starving themselves and their families to pay their debts where there has been a large per cent put on them to make up for losses on dishonest, lazy people. They are ignorant and need legislation and the country is plumb full of corn now and there never will be a better time to abolish totely the cursed lien and mortgage- sistam. We also need a dog law, as we can't have sheep nor eggs to any satisfaction in this mountain part of the country where. we ought to have abundance, but in'there place we have an abun dant of useless dogs. I hope you will influence your legistator along these lines.

Blease, is the youngest mem ber of the Newberry delegation, and has just entered his 26th year. -This-is his second term in the Legislature. He was educated in the schools of his town, and finished the Junior year in Newberry College. In the fail of 1888 he entered the law. department cof Georgetown University, Washington, D. C., and graduated from there in 189 with the degree of LL. B., and was admitted to the Bar before the Su-] preme Court of the District of Colum bia. He is now engaged in the prac tice of law with his brother Harry H. 31ease. He took a prominent part in the proceedings of the House in 1890, introducing himself by his speech in seconding the nomination of Irby for Speaker.' I In the session of 1891 Mr.'Blease was I appointed chairman of the committee I on privileges and elections, which i makes him a member of the State< board of canvassers.
