President Stackhouse's Ring? ing Words to the Farmers' j Alliance. To the Members of the Alliance in South Carolina-Brethren : We are approaching the close of the second year of the Jute Trust war. The trust is crippled but not defeated It is or? ganizing anew so as to elude S'ate laws against trusts, and the question now is, **Wbat arc ice going to do about it?" Will we now submit, ask pardon and plead for mercy, or will we ut once ar? range for the manufacture of enough standard cotton bagging, on the best terms possible, to cover every bale of Alliance cotton in the State, and co? operating with our brethren in other States the entire crop of the cotton States next year, and in doing so estab? lish a new manufacturing industry-all our own-defeat the Jute Trust, and secure from the cotton Exchanges of the world an honest tare regulation ? Let each Sub Alliance in the State, at its next regular meeting, express its Reference and have its secretary report to me its action. I shall be thankful for any information or suggestion bear? ing on the question. If we are to continue and succeed in this fight we should lose no time. We hope to hear from every Sub Alliance in the State before the 1st day of December, so that our position may be known before the meeting of our na? tional organization. We hope soon to have oar State bus? iness exchange in condition to make contracts for us. Fraternally, E T. STACKHOUFB Presidents. C F. A ? What a wonderful plant the cotton j is ! It seems that every part of it can be t utilized for some purpose. Mr. J. M. i Forahee, secretary of the Wilmington ! (N. C ) Chamber of Industry, exhibited recently in Macon. Ga., samples of ! half inch rope and also one of 2 pound bagging made from cottoo stalk fibre, j Mr. Forahee says that machines have been invented for stripping the stalk and manufacturing the Obre into bagging, and that the cost will not be more ?han four cents per yard. One acre of stalks wiii make bagging enough for five tales of cotton. It is a matter of regret toat Senator Hampton should have written the let? ter that be did to Postmaster General Wanamaker. It is a great pity that he did not first call Mr. Wanamaker's attention to the matter be'*ore calling bim a liar At all even's it strikes us as inr-xceediogly ba.l taste, and a great j breacU of Senatorial dignity, rt fleeing 1 no credit upon either the Senator or the State from which he bails. If Senator Hampton had closed his letter i at the end of the second paragraph it ; would have accomplished his purpose j and not appeared so much like a school ! boy:s tirade. - Anderson Journal. -- ~??~ -.i?

Remember that econ? omy is the parent of pros? perity, and become a prac? tical economist by TRADING WITH US. The heavy profits which some merchants make, like the in-1 terest on borrowed money, eat up the earnings and prevent saving. We make no such profits, and those who trade with us, will find their savings increase with every trade. An honest profit and an honest price is our idea of price and profit making. Big prices and big profits aie not honest. We have nothing to do with them. We will save you also in the goods we supply. Good grade goods go farther than low grade, j Even at a higher price they are cheapest in the long run. But ? we put good grade articles on the same price-level as the low grade. That makes them cheapest in actual cash as well as | cheapest in actual value. It takes us to make bargains ! We j are old hands at it. We know how to buy and that's how we i have the secret of selling. We are past masters in the ancient and honorable art of bargain-making and will convince you that we know our work if you give us a call. Recollect that we show what we ad? vertise, that we have the goods, make the prices and mean ali we advertise. No one talked to death. No misrepre sentation of goods. No matter what j prices others may make we will beat them, and you are not restricted to buy? ing a couple of yards. Do not be misled by dealers who shout big things and claim I to show what they cannot produce. We give you real and not imaginary value ! i for your hard earned dollars, for next week ; we have made Special Prices in every depart- ! ment. i The wonderful increase in our trade this j season amply justifies us in inaugurating J from time to time these special low price sales | that have become so universally appreciated, j Whilst these sales are in progress we give no j consideration of profit but allow every one an j equal chance to secure the bargains we offer, j As thousands are to hundreds so is the com- j parison you can make between our stock au d | that o? others in the city. We give you quai-1 ity, we give you style, and we give you the j ? lowest prices. Take the hint and come to J. R????iffi I ?. i Nov 13 I O?E We are Chock Full -OF -IN All Departments.

Of merchants, our town has had many Of fortune, of fame and renown, But never a combination Made up of a Brown and a Brown. The aforementioned rare combination has brought together a stock of pure, fresh and popular goods, staple and substantial, good to eat and good to wear-all of which goods are enhanced in value by the men who are putting them before the public, for it gives us pleasure to say The fara My of Brown reaches backwards, And is kio to the kings of old time ; But the climax of fame is accomplished In this year of our Lord, eighty-nine. The climax referred to is the low price at which our goods are being sold. In SHOKS we are running a line of specialties, and the open-eyed amazement that smites our customers as they behold our lay-out, is equal to a seventy-five cent show. And further, We stand in the end of the ag^s, A Brown hy the side of a Brown, And declare to the town and the country, We'er not seeking gold, but renown. To enable us to lay a foundation for the said fame and re? nown, we have put down, a solid substratum of low prices and formed new purposes of honesty and uprightness in the hand? ling of FLOUR, BACON, SUGAR, COFFEE, and GROCERIES of all kinds. Tn the line of DRY GOODS, we have displayed our best taste and are prepared to knock out all competitors in four rounds of four minutes each. We are cosmopolitan in principle and philanthropic at heart, with a strong leaning towards the doctrine of man's universal brotherhood. We believe in the Alliance, in Free Trade, and Protective Tariff, and in Tariff for Kwenue only. We accept all the creeds and isms of our cus? tomers, and we believe heartily in the nebular hypothesis, and meanwhile, endeavor to keep our stock full in every depart? ment.
