At the conclusion of the regular toasts, Hon. G. W. Dargan was called upon, and his impromptu re marks, though necessarily brief, were very appropriate, and were loudly applauded. All of the Charleston gentlemen who re sponded to toasts spoke well, as Charleston gentlemen seem to have a happy knack of doing on such occasions, and taken alto gether tho speeches were as en tertaining as we have ever heard. When they had indulged in a princely entertainment of the Conference. “May the Lord of peace and plenty continue to send prosperity and gladness to the people around about Bethel,” was the prayer uppermost in the minds and hearts of us all as we bade them all “goodbye.” A.W.

We publish a notice in this issue to the effect that the copartnership has been j formed, under the firm name ol Brunson, Lunn & Co.

[Sumter Corrpa|H>ndent News and Courier.] The Wedgefleld Sub-Alliance has surrendered its charter and disbanded for the reasons given below by one of its members as follows: “The entry of the Alli ance into politics having seem ingly destroyed all interest in the prime objects of the organi zation, and the recent actions of the county and State Allian ces having shown that all who will not follow the behests of the coat-tail politicians and swallow the visionary sub-treas ury bill in toto are to be held as no longer loyal Alliance men or worthy of consideration in tho councils of tho Order, the Wedgefleld Sub-Alliance i s much displeased at this prosti- t u t i o 11 of the organization, which is still worthy of great veneration in its true concep tion, and has decided that rather than be compelled to give up their manhood and the inalien able right to think and vote as the members choose, they will leave tho organization to the fate which is yawning to receive it if its present policy and lead ers are followed.” -# Merit Wins.
