Extracts from Maj. Terr ellis Speech.
REPORTED BY j. l.. STRAIN. (coNTINUEp.


If you willingly go and counsel with your
brethren and then follow the will of the
majority, acting as q whole, then | assure
you that success is ready to perch upon
your business, and my word for ii, the
world and everything outside can prevent
the farmers from having their own way.
This is manly and intelligent and it will
make you the conqucrors. If you do this
we can control III" price of our products,
and can sell them in market that wants
them and is willing to pay fair price for
them. Applause, and Imc", by the fellow
standing near the speakers stand. No
class of people ever acted SO foolishly as the
farmers have. Take the merchant, and if
his business isn't paying him he quits; if
the doctor is losing money by his profession,
he goes mt something clsc and the lawyer
will not continue practicing II, the Bar when
he finds that his income j. not sufficient to
support his family, tif he has onc,) and SO
he gives up Il profession that his whole life.
perhaps, has been devoted to obtaining. No
other man on earth will continue business
that ism paying him, except the farmer
will ask the attention of the members Of
the Farmers Alliance and trust that from
few remarks you will catch the expectation
| of the Alliance from them. BE careful and
! select the best men from your Sub Alliances
and instruct them rs TO your views TO the
! County Alliance, and each member must
! stand bound 10y the will of the majority
and the man Who goes contrary TO il il
not Keeping his "hligation, and should he
kicked on, of the Alliance That is Alliance
and that is the power that can and will con-
| troll matters and set you III the place of free
men. Elect the best man in your County
! Alliance you have, and let him be your
| guardian. Whatever he does stand by his
action. Let him bc the free and unbiased
choice of the Alliance people Of the County
| he represents, and let him be one of the
| best, il not the best man you have got.
When he, Ni,h others of the same stripe,
goes TO the State Alliance ,hcy make up a
corps of intelligent men, whose honest pur-
pose is to look after the best interests of the
people they represent. They form an in
tcligcut body, and every Alliance man in
South Carolina ought to follow their counsel.
II you mean business we are safe. If YOU
mean to do what you profess, say that the
slmcklcS will soon fall from your limbs. and
You Will be free men, and those influences
that have been so hurliul To the farming in
terests will Lea thing Of tho past.

member. Since the murder Kanuapaux
has made himself conspicuous on every

A AI""HATIIDAJ
tment of the Grand Jury to the 0cto-
srm Of Court, for Union County, 1889.

e Honorable n. p. Aldrich, Presiding
fadge:
We the Grand Jury would respectfully re.
port as follows:
We have examined the public buildings
and offices, and find the Jail is very well
kept and in very good condition, but we
would again call the attention of the County
| Commissioners, as we have done in our pre-
vious reports, to the necessity of heaters for
the comfort of the prisoners. We also find
on examination that the gutteriDg on the
Court House needs repairing. We find that
a new covering is necessary for the public
well near the jail
We find the Sheriffs, Masters, Probate
Judges, Auditors, and Clerk of the Courts
Offices in good condition; except in the Au-
ditcr's Office we find an accumulation Of old
papers which we would recommend to be
disposed of in some suitable manner, and
further that desk and q half dozen chairs
be provided for the better equipment of said
office. We would recommend that our Rep-
rescntaive provide more effective means
to enable the constables Of the Trial Justices
Of this county to perform their duties, by
changing the law as it now exists relating
TO the salaries Of said coustables, for the rea-
son that the salaries are so small that it is
difficult to find any one who will accept the
position, and the State is often powerless
to procure its witnesses in State cases.
The Grand Jury farors the proposition
advanced by your Honor, and would recon-
mead it to the consideration of our rep
rescntativcs, rs to tho necessity ola reforma-
tory institution, suitable to the proper train
ing Of the younger class of convicts.
The Grand Jury feel it their duty to com
plimcnt the county commissioners for the
manner they have had the public roads re-
paired, and placed in their present excellent
condition.
Thanking your Honor for the courtcsics
extended to us, We hereby submit the above
presen,mcnt.

= Iome industry, home enterprise and liberia
homo markets.
III the Farmers are in earnest about kill
ing the Juto Bagging Trust, to be consistent,
it seems to us, they should be equally as
jealous in killing the Standard Oil Con-.
pauy, q Trust equally as iniqutous and ar
bitrary, and far moro dangerous, because it
controls n more extended and far more
powerful money influence:
FLORENCE, October 3.-The Florence Sub.
Alliance met here q few days since and
unanimously resolved to sell no cotton seed
to the Standard Oil Company or any other
mill in tho combination, provided the home
mills Will buy and pay n reasonable price
for the seed. Ii was also decided to make
Wednesday Of each week Alliance day for
selling cotton, and urged upon all farmers
TO bring their cotton in only on that day.
by this plan largo amount OF cotton will
be placed on the market at one time, there.
by inviting buyers TO como from abroad and
put prices up to the highest possible figure.
Ii will be seen by the above action that the
Cotton Seed Trust han expect no favors
here, and that the farmers will do al in
their power IN contributing to the success
of the home mills.
Tho Cotton Seed Oil Mill Of this county
is being completed as fast as possible, and
will require every bushel of seed brought
to the market, for which the managers are
willing to pay the highest price. AS it is
the first public enterprise in the County,
we are anxious to have it succeed, anl the
Farmers can help it and themselves by
Alliance men have. Give our own mill
the preference.

From q Riverside Fireside.

RIVERSIDE, Oct. Mrs Joe is off to night
waiting on the sick, the little Joes are all in
bed, and mostly asleep, so we have ii all
alone; aud as we attempt to write q word or
so for print, these questions arise : Should
we write at all2 II SO, then what shall we
write? If the space we fill in the Union
TINES would not be better occupied if we did
not write at all ? &c. The latter we leave
for the Editor to decide.
Nothing very remarkable has transpired
in Riverside in the last few weeks.
Tho gathering Of crops is being pushed
with vigor As it should be. We had light
frost yesterday morning, and heavier one
this morning. / am disposed to sympath ize
with friend L. W. j., and would suggest
that he be not too intimate with his new 40
quaintences. From what we can learn the
writer has been on the verge Of accounta-
blity. Some "goOd Samaritan" we pre-
sumo, is inclined to help US along the rug
ged ways Of n new cut road. If the good
man has anything Uery Instructive to com
munioate we have no objection whatever
We would say however, III advance, like the
Irishnan, "be asy, my lord, my wife is

Rss~ The cold snap of Sunday and Mon
day has no doubt materially reduced the
estimate of the cotton crop, rs many Far,
mers based their calculations On having as
late killing frost as we have had for three
or four years past. The wind cn Sunday
night kept the frost from the nplands, but
on the lowlands it was heavy and killed all
kinds of vegetation. Monday there was
but little wind and n heavy frost fell during
the night, ending the maturing season of
all crops, and cutting of the cotton very
considerably.
One farmer told us last Friday, that ir
the frost keIt of as late as last ycm until
November tthr would make u fair crop, but
if it came s6on he would not make over half
n crop. Upon enquiry, we find that to he
the condition Of the crop, upon almost every
farm in this section of our County. We
therefore, may safely estimate the damage
to the cotton crop by frosts this week at
25 per cent at least.
