of credit due to him especially
for this phenominal record, Mr.
Lucas was born in Darlington
county just twenty-six years
ago and is the youngest man in
the South, perhaps, at tho head
of such an enterprise. He began
life in the cotton business, and
was a buyer of much skill. He

Walker Flemming & Sloan, and
was soon engaged by Capt.
Montgomery as buyer for Paco-

Montgomery made Mr. Lucas
superintendent of construction,
and it was here his great talent
as a manager, his incomparable
executive ability was shown.

Lucas spent this summer vaca

Brother Alliancenien, great
principles and demands are the
basis of our noble Order, and
we have before Congress press
ing for solution a measure of
financial relief of the greatest
magnitude. The Alliance is
non-partisan, but political. It
rises high above men and par
ties. It is the creature of the
times and the condition of the
country. Financial reform is
the imperative demand. It was
that, and not tariff reform, that
caused the recent great, political
revolution. The people of the
North and Northwest are sick
and tired growing corn for 12
cents per bushel and raising
beef for l cent per pound.
This is only the beginning of

How to Help the Graded Schools.
Mr. Editor :—Perhaps some
of those interested in education
would be glad to have pointed
out ono way of helping the
Schools without expense. We
can use, to great advantage, al
most all sorts of picture-papers
and magazines, old or recent,
whole or tattered. Now we do
not ask for what anybody wish
es to keep, but simply suggest
that one can aid a good cause
by presenting to the school li
brary any old pile of magazines
that happens to be lying in the
wav,or by saving up the illus
trated weeklies, after reading,
till there is a sufficient number
to send. We need chiefly,

near at hand when the Order
will move out and, taking its
position, will draw its blade in
defence of its principles and de
mands, and, striking right and
left, will spare no foe. Who
ever falters in the fight is a
traitor, and should meet the
traitor’s fate.
