NR. TERRELL's TALK.
Mr.. BENZ. Terrell, who spoke yesterday
before the Alliance. is the lecturer of the
Farmers National Alliance and cooper.
stiye Union of America, and by virtue of
his Office as national organizer installed
the newly.elected officers of the State
Alliance. MIR. Terrell, on Invitation,
delivered an address on
TEE WORKS AND RESULTS OF THE
ORDER.
He suggested that it was absolutely
necessary that the farmers organize
themselves as all other classes had done.
Heretofore the farmers had been entirely
unorganized, to their own dstriment.
Once organized it is necessary to preserve
8 unit in all things. He thought the
farmers should adopt as their motto,
"Right and justice to all, special privile.
ges to none." He emphasized the fact
that the farmers were not united to
oppress or fight the merchants or any
other class. but merely for self.protection.
He was proud of being from the State of
Texas, which had organized the Farmers
Alliance. He had, he said, travelled
over nearly all the cotton States, and in
the entire district the people expressed
themselves as hopeful of the success of
the Alliance and it's work. He claimed
that the Alliance in Texas had through
its business reduced he prices on many
articles extensively used. He favored
State exchanges and thought the Allan.
ces would partly be failure if this fea-
ture were not incorporated in the Alliance
work. By means-of exchanges goods can
be handled at first cost. Mr.. Terrell
thought the farmers should strive to
conduct their business on cash basis.
He hoped Carolina farmers would discard
jute Begging. By the use Of cotton bag
giug the farmer would create demand
for bis own product. Mr.. Terrell said
that he had heard from reliable authority
that the cotton bagging mills were. now
in full operation and would in all proba.
biiity furnish all the cotton covering
needed.

the use of cotton bagging, and that they
use only cotton or if q sufficient quanti-
ty cannot, be obtained, then they use any
other substitute from straw, or even
common homespun, or anything but
jute.
Strong resolutions were adopted com.
mending the Cotton Plant newspaper, of
Greenville, and recommending it to the
members in this State. The constitution
for the consolidation of the Joint Alliance
and Wheel was adopted by o vote of 23 to
II. The ratification of this caused
