DALLAS, TEX. Jan. 23.-The Southern
Mercury tomorrow will publish the en-
closed notices of the new officers of the
alliance:
PRESIDENT DUNCAN.
The board of directors of the Farmers
alliance exchange at their late meeting
were reluctantly compelled to accept the
resignation of Dr. Fields as president of
the exchange. They selected as his sue
cessor Brother Silas d a. Duncan, who
is eminently qualified to fill the position
to which he has been called. Brother
Duncan was born at New Orleans,
La, June 81, 1849, and is, there
fore, in the prime of life, being less than
forty years of age. In the summer of
1852 his parents moved to Ontario, Can
ada, where he remained until 1856, when
he again turned his face toward the sum
ny South and located in Grimes county,
Texas. In the winter of that year,
Brother Duncan removed from Grimes
county to Brazos county, where he is now
actively engaged in farming and stock
raising and is one of BraZos cOunty's
most successful and progressive farmers.
He resides nine miles west of Bryan, the
county seat. In 1878 he married Miss NJ.
s. Smith. Brother Duncan joined the
alliance four years ago and to-day is one
of its ''wheel horses - From the day of
his initiation into the order he has been
one of its most ardent supporters, and
has advocated its principles almost IN
cessantly. He has served as county
lecturer of Brazos county, and was APP
pointed as a state lecturer by the eXecu-
tive committee of the Farmers state al
lance. He served a term as president of
the BraZos county business enterprise,
and also as county commissioner. The
exchange is fortunate in securing such an
earnest worker as President Duncan, and
we predict for him, his cO-wOTkeTs and
the exchange brilliant and sue
cessful career. In regard to Brother
Duncan's business qualifications,
we feel confident in his ability to
keep the bow of the exchange ''well up
stream. He has been a successful
farmer and has made a success of every
thing yet attempted by him, and we are
of the opinion that his keen foresight,
quick conception and sound judgment,
backed up by his high personal integrity,
will bring the success the entire order
wishes for him and at the same time the
confidence of the business world with
which he will be brought in contact. Our
best wishes Brother Duncan

John Wingo came down from the
Syndicate headquarters on Yellow House
last week, where he has been for the last
five months. He says cattle are in the
lower pasture, and that the prospects are
there viii be from 1000 to 10 ZOO calves
branded from that herd alone in the
spring. He thinks the water problem has
been successfully solved there, and that
there will be no more cattle lost from
drouth.

Mr.. A K. Hawkes., Atlanta, Ga.
DEAR SIR have thoroughly tested the glasses

found them to possess a softness of vision which

W. d. Capps of the Two Circle bar
ranch, near Colorado City, says there
will be more tank building this year than
ever before. The stockmen are getting
tired of windmills and .troughs on ac-
count of the unreliability of
the wind and the constant ex-
pense of keeping them up, and most of
them will now begin putting in large
dams across the draws and save up big
supplies of water when it rains.

General Hypolte has beseiged Cen
eral Legitime in Port au Prince, and 1t
is thought that Hypolite will soon take
the town and proceed to cut Threats
Just as his rival did. and then if he
catches his rival there will be a bar
barrie orgie. and finally Hayti will have
only one President instead OF two. The
DarwinIan war will end for a time and
the victor will divide the spoils, taking
tho best half himself and all the Off
cisl honor and perquistes.
This affair Of the Black Island is a
disgrace to the age Of civilization, and
beats the stories of the horrible muir
ders Of African slaves by the Arab
slave traders in the Dark Continent.
Mark the fact, that while the African
OF the Congo has been left in the dark
for Thousands Of ysars-ever since the
curse was dtcreed 70 his Tace--these
Haytian negroes have had the advaI =
tages OF trade ard all the chances Of
improvement. But the result is the war
between two alleged Preside who
give their followers not one principle
OF patriotism. but simply and only the
motive If plumber and thirst for slaugh-
ter.
THIS CHASTITY farce when it ends. leaves
the leland Of Hayti no better off than
before. and without any promise Of re-
lief from the degradat'ons and barba-
rlsm that the negro has reduced himse If

superior race.
