IN DISTRESS.

The wor1, distress, smens badly wherever
used, and we are reliably Informed that our
must be true. for we have, in The past, seen
claims on tho County c,shed by monied men,
at discount Of 10 per cent, but in July
last only GO cents OH the dollar was offered
for Jury tickets. This state Of things i, a
great hndrauce 10 the public prosperity Of
our County. Ifa bridge, for instance, Is to
ba constructed, aud the contractor needs his
pay, he is compelled to ask more than the
work is worth, inf order that when his claim
is discounted by some capitalist he msy get
living compep sation for his labor. doubt
not that on account of our County being be-
hind, and this discount on her credit Dece,-
sarily taking place, that thousands of dollars
of oar peoples hard earned money is useless
ly thrown away every year.
To cay the least Of it, we are year behind
in our County treasury, ju.t like We poor
folks were before we joined the Alliance. We
sold our cotton in the spring and then deliver
ed it in the fall. The finances Of onr pub,

pends entirely on the faithful observance Of
the rules, regulations aud laws Of the order;
and il you would have your sub-Alliances
to be of the greatest power for good, see to
it that each member understands and per
forms his whole duty. l find that many
members know but little Of our Constitution
and Ritual. 1t should be the duty Of the
Lecturer 10 read and cxpound the Constitu-
tIon Iu your cuo-rInancc uHr'r crory--"'v"r-
Der thoroughly understood its teachings
aud then demand that it be kept inviolate.
Then every member of tho Sub.Allance
should have copy Of our Ritual for him.
self and be thoroughly conversaut with its
every part. l doubt il one member in fifty
can explain page 10 of the Ritual, without
making n mistake.
Tho burial service on page 10 is very i'm.
pressivc, and should be read and re-read by
erery member, so that if ever called on to pay
this sad tribute to departed brother we
could let its solemn grandeur be seen and
felt In fine, get you supply Of CoDstitu-
tions and Rituals, then see that they arc
read, digcsted and observed.

JOSFsyILLE, Aug. 25.-We had two show
ers of rain last week that did much COOL to
the growing crops. but we need still more
rain before the cotton opens TO push the
young bOlls to maturity. The weather j.,
rather cool for cotton and it is feared that
after oil the fine prospect Of good crop it
will fall rather short, but this is often the
case, especially when the weed is large for
then the farmer rsises his sights too high
and counts on n big crop whether there is
much fruit on it or not.

The Straightout Conference.

We confess being pleased at the very scosi-

vention on the 10th Of September, and, as
we have said before. he will then be the demo.
craft; candidate and we shall oppose sny
party or any means that may be used to de-
feat him.
We have not in any way opposed the Far.
mers' Movement, nor can it be said with
truth that we have applied abusive language
or epithets to either 1illman or his followers,
during the campaign. We have only opposed
Tillman's methods of securing the nomina.

We believed with a majority of the people,
they were in opposition to the regularly or

We had no faith in the straightout confer.
ence at the first. We could not see what good
it could accomplish, and thought it an unwise
move, calculated to increase rather than
allny the bitterness Of the campaign. All we
have claimed for that convention was. that Il
had as much right to assemble os the March

We now confidently hope the conflict be.

amicably adjusted. We see no good to re-
