The Farmers Alliance.

Mr.. EDITOR: Thinking that few facts
or items in reference to the Farmers Al
lance in Anderson County might not be
embarrassing to your readers, I have con.
cluded to write you short article.
The first sub-Alliances were organized
in this County the last of August, 1888,
and for some time after their organization
very little was done, on account Of delay
in getting outfits, imperfect instruction in
the practical workings Of the Order, and
hinderances growing out Of these causes.
Notwithstanding these hinderances,
the Order assumed shape and began to
grow, until by the 31stof December, 1888,
the membership had grown from mere
handful to 93s.
During the first quarter of 1889. so far
as reported, there have been $50 initia-
tions in the various sub-Alliances in the
County. Four sub.Alliances are not in
cluded in the report, and would probably
increase the number Of limitations to 700
Tor the quarter.
There are now thirty-four sub-Alliances
in Anderson County in working order,
representing every community, and en-
bracing in their membership the repre-.
sentative farming population Of our
County.
AS a matter of grateful interest, no
scisms or divisions have occurred in the
workings of our County Alliance, but
harmony and oneness Of interest and pur-
pose have governed our proceedings. The
members of the Alliance, and even out
siders, are beginning to better understand
that the Farmers Alliance was not organ
lied for a warfare or crusade against the
merchants, or any other class of citizents,
but was and is intended for mutual pro-
lection and help among the farmers and
others entitled to admission who think
proper to identify themselves with the or.
ganization.
No doubt errors have been and will be
committed and mistakes made, but We
believe that the Farmers Alliance, in
some form, is an organization that has
come ''to stay" and that by the influence
of its associations and the helps which it
brings, the Agricultural population OF
this grand southland of ours, will become
before many years self-supporting, pro-
ducing living at home and become
sellers of diversified produce, instead Of
buyers of prime necessities. That instead
Of anxious inquiry and investigation as to
'swhere and how necessaries or supplies
can be most cheaply purchased" the cry
will be where can market be found for
the surplus products Of the farm.
1t is, also, rather rather remarkable,
and matter of profound gratitude to
God, that since the organization COM
menced in the County, running through
period of nine months, not single death
has occurred among its members, so far as
the statistical reports show, made March
s1st, 1889.
Excuse the length of this article, and
when have time will furnish you with
some thoughts as to other features of the
organization.

The electric lights and the proposed
waterworks, with the $4,000 or $4,000
for Graded School buildings, our taxes
would be simply enormous.
The time has come when the margin for
profits in all branches of business
and industry is very short, and in the
future will Btill be closer. These heavy
taxes would cause capital to 60 into non-
taxable securities, and would be heavy
burden on trade and manufactures.
If the Graded School should be sue
cess, it does not clearly appear that 1t
would benefit our private schools or the
proposed Female College. It looks more
like requiring the stockholders in these
institutions to pay heavy tax to support
an institution competing with their own
for patronage. Some of them look at in
this light. To carry out the plan will re-
quire additional legislation, but this can
be had for che asking. And when OBJ
tanned, somebody else will be blamed for
such ruinous taxation. b.

EDITORS INTELLl GENcER: Your local
and the Teachers Column refer to peti.
tion for the Establishment of Graded
School. An impression prevails that its
establishment would not increase our
taxes. This is a mistake. The proposed
school tax is not substitute for the pres.
ent two mill tax, but is an addition to it.
It would, therefore, add at least two mills
to it, besides an indefinite amount for
buildings, which in Greenville amounted
to SIS, 1000, and in Union $4,000.

Cooperation will some times secure

"That Farm of Mine," no matter where
In zone torrid or temperate,
In latitude south or north,
In altitude high or low;
Whether out prairie wild
With Natures green sod
Piled up to shelter me,
For neighbors only
The fast receding red man;
Or, in valley old, rich and fertile,
With ancestral halls in which
For generations my fathers trod,
On whose walls the trophies
OF their prowess hang
That farm of mine, no matter where,
No farm it surely is
Unless thereon home is found.
A home! home! aye, a shrinel
Where generations may gathered be
Comfort and rest to find.
Husband, wife. and children, too,
Olive plants, some call them,
A haven here find at home,
Upon that farm of mine.

From which they quench their thirst

Strong as the everlasting hills
Standing all about us

Whether on sides of two converging hills
Or nesting in some quiet yale
Where ripping brooks forever run,
Or beside the stronger flowing stream,

Like arterial currents down,
Through valleys fair and scenery grant
Till mingling with the stronger flood
OF Susquehanna's widening current,
Through valleys rich and fertile,
Till at last with ocean wave
Finds rest. That farm of mine
May be close nestled
Meath the base OF mountain,
Where beast so wild did roam,
And savage men uncivilized
Their wigwams made. But now,
The homes OF men are here;
Friends hither came; green woods
Into fertile fields were made.
That farm of mine, where shall it be?
Friends, Chairman kind, please let
That farm of mine, for now,
Located be just here.
just here, where Friendship,
Love and Truth, Angelic guests,
