the subject, makes the following re-
mark:
During the holding of the late Dem
ocratic convention in this city, it was
reported on the streets that liquor was
being kept, and lavishly dispensed, at

We notice it simply to say that so
far as the report refers to the "head-

THE ALLIANCE IN SOUTH CAR
OLINA.

E The State Farmers Alliance
of South Carolina will be organized
at Florence on Wednesday, the 18th
day of the present month, by Col. L.
l.. Polk, of North Carolina, Vice
President of the National Alliance.
% On Saturday, 9th of June, the
Marlboro County Alliance was organ
lied at Bennettsville, Hon. T. N.
Edens being elected President. 1t is
believed that the Alliance will revolu-
tionize trade circles and result in great
good to the farmers in this county.
&c The Cotton Plant says: "The
Farmers Alliance has been organized
in several counties in South Carolina,
and promises to spread into other sec-
tions of the State. In Georgia it has
become SO strong that the President
of the State Alliance proposes to estab-
lish Alliance warehouses, stores, &C.,
for the conduct of the farmers bust
ness.
E"F. J. S." writing to the Ches-
terfield Advertiser, from Shiloh, S. O.,
says, "the Farmers Alliance is GER
tainly a success here, and is doing a
vast amount Of good for the farmers.
I I'm glad to see that the farmers are
being awakened to a sense of their
duty, and [, for one, will be glad to
see the day when we can call ourselves
free men,"
~ All Farmers Alliances organ
lied in the State of South Carolina
thus far, have been chartered by the
National Alliance, headquarters, Dali
las, Texas, while the outfits or supplies
have been furnished by the State ALI
ance of North Carolina. The total
number of lodges organized in South
Carolina up to June 26th was twenty
four, located principally in the counties
Of Darlington and Marion. The first
Alliance was organized at Doveville
on the 18th Of May, less than two
months ago. Reports from the field
indicate that the work is being pushed
vigorously.
E@ After referring to the wonder
full growth and prosperity of the
Farmers Alliance in the States of
Texas, Georgia and North Carolina,
the Bennettsville Is. g. Chronicle says:
"And, rs has been truly said by an
exchange, the order is daily gaining
in strength and favor in South Caro-
lima. Local and County Alliances
are being formed in a number of the
counties, and the present outlook is
that in the near future it will in ma
terial respects revolutionize some of
the long established customs that exist
here, as we'll as in all other States of
the South among the farmers, and cor
rect many Of the abuses which have
oppressed and. burdened the agricul-
tural interests of country. Let it
be done, and let it be done as it
be.

IN FAVOR OF PROTECTION.

ALLENDALE, N. g., June IA, '8S.
EDITOR FARMER.-Dear Sw:-Allow
me to trespass upon your space with a
few words regarding your article Of
June 9th-"King Cotton Getting on
His Feet"
The sentiment there expressed is
very encouraging to me as n who
has cast his future lot with the South,
looking ahead to the prosperity of
which the South stands so much in
need. Nothing will develop the
Southern States more than diversified
industries; we need manufacturers Of
various kinds, especially Of cotton
goods, who will make a fair grade of
goods and use improved machinery.
It seems that where there has been
such a large transfer of cotton manu-
featuring capacity to the South, it
would have damaged the same in
dustry in New England and other
Northern States, but this does not ap-
pear to have been the case. The
reason is that a better and much finer
grade of goods is produced at the
North, consequently the medium and
cheaper grade Of goods which the
South most needs is left to the South
and gives it a very great opportunity
for a home market. Neither the
South nor the North could turn a
spindle if free trade and open ports
are to be our future. We could not
hope to compete with the poorly paid
labor of Europe. Protection alone is
our safety.
The only free goods that should
come into the United States are such
as are now controlled on behalf Of the
home manufacturers by those oppres-
sive combinations of monopolists
known as "Trusts."
Faithfully yours,
JULIAN ALLEN.
That the growth of cotton man
u~facturing in the South has not
effected that interest in the North
ern States, is "a proposition OF our
friend to which we do not sub
scribe. And if all such goods as are
controlled by those oppressive COM
binations known as "Trusts should
be admitted free of duty, then we
predict that free trade will be the de-
clared policy of our government and
people in the very near future, for
these greedy and merciless combine
tons are fast getting control of every
enterprise and interest upon which
they can place their iron clutches. We
admit the above article, through per-
sonal, respect for our friend, but
will not open our columns for the dis
cussion of this subject at this time as
our readers Will be amply supplied
from the stump with all the informa.
ton they may desire by our political
orators and statesmen.

My DEAR SIR:-Your favor of the
18th inst. reached me to day with
several others on the subject, from
some of your people. I communicated
the facts at once to the Governor OF
Virginia and asked his aid and CO.
operation in suppressing these out
RACES. Why, as the men haye to
pass through Albemarle and Chesa-
peake Canal, could they not be arrested
and bound over for their appearance
at court. If necessary to do this, l
will order out the State Guard in
sufficient numbers and make them
subject to your local authorities that
they may aid in bringing these fellows
to justice. 1 should be very glad to
have your suggestion as to the remedy,
and future information in regard to
the frequency of these visits, number
of men engaged and extent of dam
ages SO far done by them. If it can
be suppressed without calling the
Legislature, it would be greatly
preferable. I could issue a proclama-
ton, but it would do no good without
sufficient force behind it and | think
it best to await the answer and action
of Gov. Lee.
Very sincerely yours,
A. M. SCALES.

Making Pottery with Great Rapidity

From the Providence Journal.
A novel and remarkable exhibition
was given at the Westminster Musee
yesterday, when Harry FIaxmap, the
clever pottery worker, undertook the feat
of making an entire tea-set of forty-four
pieces in the short space of SO minutes.
When it was announced that such an at
tempt would be made, those who were
unacquainted with the record of the
young man from Wedgewood's great
pottery ablishment, England. Of
tered wagers that it could not be accom-
plished. Much interest was manifested
by the large number present when Man
ager Bingham gave the word and Flax
man began his task, while several
watches licked off the minutes. The
pliable clay was manipulated with deft
and skiIlful fingers and twelve cups and
saucers adorned the board in short
order. Then twelve plates were piled
upon each other, and then four large
plates, a teapot, sugar bowl and two
other vessels sprang up as If by magic,
all shapely and almost perfectly
formed When the last piece was
finished the hands on the majority of
the watches indicated the lapse of eight
minutes from the time of starting, and
the remarkably quick workman rested,
beaten by half-minute. But he can
make the set in seven and one-half min
utes under more favorable circum-
stances. The whole work, including
moulding, is accomplished by the
fingers, and the only tools used are
thin brass wire for cutting the clay and
a small revolving wheel.

Has Been Around the World.

Imagine the surprise of an American who,
wandering fifteen hundred miles into the
interior of Africa to Zululand and the home
of the white race of "She" who must b,
obeyed and the white queens Of Haggard,
should by chance gaze at some big rock on
whose side was painted i'll big black letters,
the familiar epigram, Rough on Rats. !"
His thoughts would be given another vio-
lent shift homeWard, when, upon entering
a city nearly two thousand miles inland, as
large as New Haven, newsboy offered him
a daily paper for II cents, twice as large as
the largest New York daily, on whose title
page the same Rough on Rats " stared him
in the face.
The people of Africa, India and Australia
seem to be troubled more with rats and rab-
bits than anything for which there are
American specifics. This has been discov-
cred ly the ever progressive Yankee and
Rough on Rats is more extensively adj
vertised in these countries than anything
else. The power of euphonious ALTERATION
seems to be as great among the Turks, Cal
cuttians and Australians as here. Rough
on Rats in a display head line of vernac
ular Indian paper is tremendously impress
sive. The proprietor Of Rough on Rats !"
has spent s., GOO to secure q copyright of
the name in these countries, and is shipping
immense quantities of the great Rough
on's" to those countries and England.
Americans should be proud Of Rough on
Rats" 1t accompanies and makes him feel
at home in every land.-NeU Hdven Register.

and unreireshed; there is an extreme nerv-
Gus and irritable condition, a dull, cloudy
sensation often accompanied by disagreeable
feelings in the head and eyes, the thoughts
wander easily; there will be gradual failing
of strength, with weakness and pain in the
back; bad taste in the mouth mornings, the
vision becomes dim, the memory impaired,
and there is frequent dizziness; often the pa
tient is gloomy and respondent, and the
nerves become so weakened after a time

the face bring tremor or trembling or
palpitation of the heart.
