WEDNESDAY, MARCH 5.
The Alliance of South Caro
toa.
Tbe first Sob-Alliance in the old
Palmetto State was organised io Horrj
county io October, 1887. The State
Alliance waa organized at Florence in
July, 18S8, when ten ceunties, with
162 Sab-Alliance and 2,000 members
were represented. The progress of
organisation been steady and sore.
N??w there are thirty-five counties ; 1,
000 Sab-Alliances, and 30,000 mem?
bers represented.
Col. E. T. Staekbouse ts the Presi?
dent of tbe State Alliance ; whose
ringing words we bave given in our
columns from time to time. He
magnifies his position, and demonstrates
that in honoring ?him his brethren
honored themselves ?nd their organi?
sation. Born sixty-five years ago in
the oonnty of Marion, near where he
now lives, he has devoted bis life to
farming, and has been the leader of
ex tea? vt farming and agricultural
develo tinrent. Col. Stackhouse is the
beau iofearof the Southern farmer, for
be raises everything necessary for the
sustenance of man and beast OD bis
own farm. He spends annually six
dollars per acre in fertilizers and for
thirteen years past has averaged 600
pounds of lint cotton per acre on his
wages farm, aud last year from ISO
acres in bis home farm, gathered 279
bales of cotton. The average yield of
corn on his wages farm for thirteen
years has been fitty bushels per acre.
The State Alliance is fortunate in
having for its Secretary Hon. J. W.
Heed, who brings to 'bear in the dis?
cbarge of the duties of his .position,
intense earnestness, rare cuitare, and
untiring vigilance. He seems to have j
been prepared by nature, gifts and
inclination for the office.
We have alluded in previous issues
to the Alliances Exchange, its spleo
ded management and encouraging out?
looked.
The business manager is M L. 'Don?
aldson, a member of the State 'Senate
from Greenville County, who as his
handsome face shows, bas an abondance
of nerv and backbone. Although but
forty-five years of age, ie hae made a
phenomenal success of farnnng. -Under
bis wise and vigorous management,
the Exchange will ondoobtedty prove
incalculable benefit to *he far ni i ug inter?
ests of South Carolina.
About Fertilizers.
The following, from an exchange, on j (
the ase and abuse of fertilizers, we
consider worthy a placer
Too maoy of oar-.people use fertilizers
indiscriminately. They think that
there is some magic about it, just so it
is sacked and branded. They should
remember that when they buy a sack
of guano they get only two or three
elements of plant food. If a farm is
ran down, with little humus in the
soil, then it will be -necessary to use a
perfect manure which will contain
nitrogen, phosphoric acid, and potash.
If land is well kept ?up and nitrogen
crops raised and returned to the soil, the
farmer will fiod a good dissolved bone, j i
or acid phosphate about what he needs l
If one has four or five loads of good j i
lot manure to the acre, let him add
200 to 300 pounds of Acid phosphate
and he will have a perfect manure. If
one has the cotton seed be has the basis
of ammonia The dissolved bone is
the very thing needed wi?b cotton seed,
or cotton seed meal Laads that are
wanting in vegetable matter, or which
are remote from stables should have j ,
tbe best arrnnoniated goods io the j
market. After selecting the kind of L
fertilizer to be used, the land should I
be wetl prepared and the grass kept
down. A tee days' growth of grass (
injune will ?bout exhaust the little I
thread of -guano that was in the fut row
in tue early spring. ?Fertilizers .pct-io
well prepared soil are not going to j
disappear except through the roots off
plants. They have no choice as to the :
kinds of plants they nourish unless they
do give grass in a cotton row the pre?
ference over cotton. Every weed and
sprig of grass taken up in the early
spring gives the cotton and corn so
much tuo-e to live OD. NO farmer can
get the full value of bis fertilizer with?
out clean culture.

The following are the amounts of the
salaries received by the officers of the J

Uestroy the Sparrows.
Thos. D. Hyatt, of Brooklyn, says
in the Scientific American of March 1 :
Tbe English sparrow ie a grauivo 1
rous and not a carnivorous or iuwefivo- j
rous bird, and will not touch an insect. !
The couotry to-day is as much, if not
more, infested with injurious ?itwect.? |
than before the sparrow made it-s ap- :
pearance, and that is owing greatly to |
the fact that the English sparrow is an j
enemy to and has driven most of our !
native birds away, which wereiosect- |
eatsng and did much towards -ridding I
the country of the pests. The little
wren, one of the most valuable insect- !
eating birds, has got to be quite a
curiosity on aecount of its scarcity,
being run out by boss sparrow It is a
fact that the sparrow has become a
nuisance in every respect, and should
be exterminated. The habits of birds
bas been a life study with me. end I
speak from experience.
Tu Remove Warts.
A. J Mosely ? Sons. West Pbiia- j
delpbia, Fa., says in the Scientific
American of March 1 : In reading the
Scientific American of February ^8 I
found a remedy for removing warts.
I send you a remedy that we have found ;
to be better and more simple. Take !
cou oioo washing soda and make a very ;
strong solution. Apply it to the w?rt
four or five times a day. We have
tried this and have never seen one wart
that this would not remove in a few
da}S and leave uo soreness at all.
A Snake in Her Arm.
Mr. Paul Joyner teHs us a wonderful
snake story, that is of scientific interest.
Living about tweuty-two miles from
here is an aged lady, who has had for
the last forty years a snake in her left
upper arin. When first noticed, forty
years ago, it was very small, but it has
now grown to be about one foot iu
length. It lays in a U shape, with the
tail and head pointing to the elbow. It
is just beneath the skin and can be
plainly seen. The head and eyes can
be clearly made out and the pulsations
of its heart felt. The scales of the
snake can also be felt, and when much
disturbed a slight movement can be
seen about the bead and tail.
The possessor of the strange pet has
been unwilling always to have the ser?
pent cut out, but has consented to allow
it to be done after deafeh. - How the
snake ever found its home io such a
place is not known, and it is only
known that the woman was bitten by a
snake about forty years ago.
Mr Joyner soon will take Dr. Phil?
pot to see the wonder, and then we may
expect to hear a scientific discussion on
this thing-Columbia Record.
**Dem1fi Nor'f Carolina Feet."
A few weeks ago a North Carolina
family, DOW'residing uear Wilmington,
were returning form Oklahoma terri?
tory. While seated on the cars the
lady was eagerly -eyed by an old negro
woman, who occupied a seat just op?
posite tocher in the same car. Nothing
was said and but little attention was
paid to the old woman, uutil when
accidentally the lady displayed one of
her feet, the old darkey grasped it with
visible joy, exclaiming, "Dem's Nor'f
Carolina feet:; I knows these women
here have no sich little feet." She
seemed perfectly happy when told that
she was correct and that the lady was
then on ber way to Goldsboro. The
old woman's eyes filled with tears when
the time for separation came. She
hailed from Sampson county and longed
to get back to the big blue buckelberry
country.- Wilmington Messenger.
A party of fruit growers from Ohio
are now down io Georgia spying out
the land to see how they like it.
A Philadelphia company has par
chased 1.900 acres of land near Kis
siraee, ?Florida, which they will turn
into a great tobacco farm.
The Florida phosphate deposits still
attract the attention of capitalists. It
ts said that phosphates have been dis?
covered in Southern Georgia and in
Louisiana.
I
Capt Z. T. Drake, of Marlboro coun- J
ty, the man who made 2^7 bushels of ?
som on an acre, and received $1.000 j
is a price, is selling this corn at ?20
per bushel or ten grains for a nick.
Boston capitalists have bought a
large quantity of land in Lexington
30outy, S C., which is said tobe one
?reat body of -kaolin, and large pottery
works will be erected for making white
table ware.
Senator Cullom ha? introduced, by
request, a bill now before a Senate
committee authorizing the Secretary of j
the Treasury to lend money to farmers
u 2 per cent, interest a year.
An Atlanta man says: "Talking
about trasts, the South ought to form a
trust not to buy from any house or firm
in the north or west which lies about
and villifies the Southern people." That
Atlanta man's head is level
President Stackbouse of the South
Carolina State Alliance says that the
jute trust is now offering to sell bag?
ging for this year's crop at seven cents
per yard. That's all right, but the
farmers are satisfied with cotton bag?
ging and will use it from this time on
deceiver Chamberlain, of the South
Carolina railway, made a visit to Edge
field .last week, and while there he could
not resist the temptation to go out and
see the spot where he had to submit to
a joint debate with Gen M. W. Gary
and others in 1876.
it is pretty evident from reports from
carious parts of the State, that the acre?
age planted in cotton will be increased
ave to ten per cent. The indication is
that a larger amount of fertilizers have
been bought this season tfban last. Some
of the Charleston Companies can take
uo more orders and there has been a
pressing demand for freight cars for the
last three weeks on the South Carolina
road.
All the business men of Athens, Ga.,

the entire community. The boycott is
extending all over the State.

A $40,000 Dinner.
lt is not to be wondered at that there
are anarchists and socialists when such
t-hiogs can be described in the following
clipping. And the statements therein
made are not exaggerated. The lead?
ing New York paperfc contained full re?
ports of the dinner, with descriptions of
the "spread" and of the toilets of the
chief ladies. The following is the clip?
ping referred to :
"Mr. and MrsT Bradley Martin,
wealthy members of Now York's "Four
Hundred' gave a dinner at Deltnooico's
to 300 guests one day last week, the
estimated cost of which was ?40,000.
Mrs. Martin's gems were worth a king's
ransom. Besides the tiara and stom?
acher of diamonds she wore a colarctte
and necklace of rubies and several
strings of diamonds as well, and
shoulder knots of rubies. The colarette
was formed by two bracelets which once
adorned the arms of Marie Antoinette,
being purchased by the present owner
at the sale of the French crown jewels.

The treatment of the Kassian exiles
in Siberia is reported to be simply hor?
rible. The prisoners, consistiug of both
men and women, are subjected to the
most barbarous cruelties and outrages
and many are put to death on trumped
up charges. At one time all the
women in a certain prison abstained
from eating food, preferring to die from
starvation rather than undergo the ter?
rors of prison life. Only by horrible
tortures could the guards compel the
women, after fourteen days abstinence,
to take nourishment. In the same
prison thirty men took poison and two
of them died from the effect, but unfor?
tunately for the other poor sufferers,
they were discovered and medicine was
administered and they were thus saved
for further punishment.
