a young farmer. "When boy, con.

my father upon farm near Columbus,
and used to haul wood into the city and
sell it for him. One day I had entered
town with my customary load, when, as I

The Farmers Alliance.

The Farmers Alliance san. .organiza'
tion which had its origin in the State of
Texas about ten years ago. In that
State it has grown rapidly and taken
deep and strong hold. which augurs we'll
for its future success. Interest in it has
been maintained from the beginning, and
after the lapse of ten years it is found to
be still growing in. numbers and influence.
1t has spread into other States of the
South, and in Louisiana and North Caro-.
lima it has met with unusual success.
The last named State has been we'll or.
ganized and has several hundred sub
alliances which count their membership
by tens of thousands.
In South Carolina, so far, little has
been done towards the establishment of
the organization in the various counties.
In Marion County several sub alliances
have been established, and county
alliance has been pefected. With the
exception of one sub.alliance in Horny
no other branches of the organization
have been planted in the State. The
speed of the organization and its growing
influence in the community give it
power and prominence that demand and
deserve more than O passing notice.
a careful study of the constitution of
the General Alliance will fail to reveal
one thing to which reasonable objection
can be made. Its objects, aims and pur-
poses are strictly legitimate. More than
this they are laudsble, and if they are
carried out in the manner and spirit
contemplated by the original leaders of
the organization they can but promote
the interest of the agricultural class in
every community.
lis members are banded together fox
mutual improvement, for education, for
the cultivation of non-partisan spirit
and to suppress personal, local, sectional
and national prejudices and all unhealth-
full rivalry and selfish ambition.
There can be no more laudable pur.
pose than is in an organization Of this
nature. There is no disposition to an
tagonize other classes of people. The
spirit of the organization is friendly to
all professions and vocations of men. Its
primary object, of course, is to improve
the condition Of the farmers of the coun.
try and to promote their interests as
much as may be possible, but it does not
seek the consummation of this end by
working harm and injury to others. 1t
recognizes the rights and privileges of
other classes of citizens and inculcates
and seeks to enforce the respect due to
every class and individual of society.
The Alliance deprecates and seeks to
minify the prejudice which exists, or is
supposed to exist, between the different
classes of men, and while itseeks prima-
rily the good of one class its ultimate
object. is the good of all the people with
out respect to class or occupation. There
is no hostility to either merchant, law
yer or banker and no disposition or
desire to do aught that would ipjure the
legitimate business of these or other
classes. Dee lnder.

A Pretty "Business" Story.

A rather pretty little story, which has
the merit of being true, is interviewer
with the history of one Of the largest
grocery hou'es in the city. It's 'o1nder,
one ofpittsburg's Pioneers, before he went
the way of all flesh, set forth in his will
that at his death the store should be
stocked with a complete assortment of
the goods carried by the firm and that
the store and contents should then be
turned over to the chief clerk. This was
done. The clerk whose merits won for
him this substantial recognition continued
the business with unvarying success until
a few years ago, when he retired. Not,
however, before following the example
set by his predecessor and employer.
The freshly stocked store was turned over
to his chief right-hand man, and if the
latter is true to the custom of the house
he will do the same for his successor

"You must learn to think, and to act,

good would the poles have done after
Charlie had been drawn beneath the

A few weeks ago this same Frank

some way to sever an artery. Tying his

placingit under the bandage, twisted it

Respectable Rascality.

Is there any such thing as respect
able rascality? This seems at frat glance
somewhat paradoxical, but on reflection
it will be seen that there is in modern
society such thing.
Only,few who are classed as practition-
ers under this head are ever stigmatised
with the appellation, but every consci-
entious, thinking man is resdy to admit
that there is such thing, and that re-
spectacle rascality is but the fruitage of
some man who is. really. respectable
rascal.
Successful rascality is always respect
able, and whenever government legalizes
it by any enactment she only increases
inducements, aud educates her subjects
to look upon trickery and sharp games as
accomplishments, and the man who sue.
ceeds best is the aggressive and worthy
citizen. After this state of affairs
assumes respectable proportions and be-
comes the ruling sentiment of the coun-
try, backed up by the recognized govern.
ment, then the effect is appalling. 1t
intimidates good people, and many who
are outspoken on all subjects, where
wrong is not respectable, are struck dumb
with silence, because of the fearful odds
in favor of what they believe to be GRIM
inally wrong.
1t is always questionable as to the
wisdom of legislating on any evil which
only looks to the protection of isolated
cases. Such legislation always ends in
flooding the country with deception, and
in the building of forti6cation of pro-
lection around respectable rascals.
The creation of special or separate
property rights in marriage, the home.
stead law, and various other modes of
protecting supposed cases, have become
schools of high grade, from which come
numerous full.fedged rascals annually.
The country is always in a dangerous
state when Wholesale evils are prompted
and rascality protected until it succeeds;
when man can buy goods under false
pretence, and when charged with the
crime can get verdict of the jury in
his favor; when he can deceive his
neighbor and the law defend him -; when
he can get in debt 10 scores of people,
and the law say you need not pay unless
you choose to do so,-when he can do
this and still more, and then be hail
fellow we'll met by the leaders of society.
he pays poll tax only, lives in a fine
house, runs q big plantation, talks pol
itics with conceited air, and is perfectly
willing to set juryman on petty case
of theft to judge of the guilt of some
poor wretch who has been charged with
stealing hog.
The law protects him, and he faces the
public with the conceit Of sage and the
cheek of locomotive. He is always
| ready to criticise other people about
small matters, but never seems to know
himself OF to know that he is known to
others. His own life is smuggle and a
| swindle, and yet he would have the pub
| lie to adopt him as standard of honesty
| and respectability. He wishes to be con.
| sidered as the "pillow of propriety."
