The Greenville News.

The Greenville News.
1t is truly gratifying 10 us to see the ua-
mistakablo evidences of prosperity and in.
creasing popularity which this sterling
Piedmont daily shows. A few months ago
the proprietors had to put faster pressin
the Office to meet the requirement. of its
rapidly increasing circulation, and now they
havo added four columns ~ts-thhe size Of the
paper to meet he Increasing demand upon
III columns for advertising space.
This prosperity is but the natural result
Of the ability, enterprise and intrinsic value
which characterizes every issue Of the
Ne'os. Its appearance every morning is
clean and attractive, showing taste and care
in its mechanical make up, while its con-
tents are fresh, crisp and sparkling with
the latest telegraphic dispatches, sound and
able editorials and admirably selected cur
rent news. No paper ever moro richly de-
served prosperity, and wo unfeignedly re-
joice in knowing that its merits are appre-
ciated by the people Of this great and grow
ing Piedmont section, whose best interests
it SO ably and fearlessly represents and de-
fends.

was a very noisy affair. The sergeant-at-
arms was whipped early in the day, and
resigned. After the sixth ballot for comp
troller, one assistant secretary accused
another of cheating in favor Of one of the
candidates, and the two fought all over the
stage. After the fight Dan Dallon, the
leading candidate, declared that he was
cir cfed, but the chair ruled him one vote
short, and ordered another ballot, amid cries
of fraud" robbery" and doodle"
IL took three hours to nominate q comp
trolier, and after the nomination the con-
vention further distinguished itself by nomi-
mating a man for an Office that will not be
vacant for two years yet. T. /. Stevens was
nominated for Mayor.

STATE ExcHANaE roR THE FARMERS
rI.--as---Atlanta. Co.. March 14.--Ths
Farmers Alliance has swept everything be-
fore it in this State, and now virtually die
tates the movements Of the politicians. The
county merchants have been pushed t. tho
wall in many iustance,, and county ware
houses have been established by the Alliance
men. The work fer State Exchange has
been completed. The officers Of the State
Exchange in session here to-day are Felix
Corpu', president; L. F. Livingston, vice
president; L. s. Ledbetter, secretary; R. 4.
Kelly, treasurer.
President Corput, speaking Of the
scope purposes and membership Of tho
body, said: "The purposes Of the exchange
are 10 conduct q general mercantile business.
to act rs agent fer the purchase and sale of
oil kinds Of farm and orchard products and
general forwarding agent for all kinds Of
commodities. To erect, manage and operate
warehouses, stock yards, grain elevators,
packing establishments; to manufacture
guano or other fertilizers, and all such other
enterprises as may be found necessary or
advisable to their profit and bttterment
That covers about ell the ground on which
the farmers want protection. The exchange
will own property aud be person in law
and will have the right I, issue and 1ff6aE
debenture or other bonds and TO do o pript-
ing and publishing business,
As to the capital, we shsll have a capital
stock of 81 600 900, 5000, 900 of which has
been subscribed, and $4,000, or % per cont,
will be called in to begin operations with.
We have $4,000 members aud 100 Sub Al
liances in Georgia. By Transferring their,
business through the Exchange the farmers
can buy the necesssiits Of life cheaper, and
by being helped by the Exchange can hold
their cotton until prices are forced up. II
may hurt the cormorant, but the honest
merchant need have no fear. II will cut
down the cent per cent profits Of the msr-
chants who sell on six mouths time and
come down with their mortgages and liens
at the first picking Of the cotton in the
fall. All we purpose doing is to offer goods
at reasonable rates, 1.-THE farmers can buy
them cheaper anywhere else, they oan do as.
