The Alliance.

The Ncwherry County Alliance held
q special meeting at Newberry on
Monday to consider the question of q
cotton seed oil mill. In regard to this
the Alliance decided to abandon for
the present any effort to establish L
mill through the Alliance. This leaves
the matter open for the farmers to take
whatever stock they desire in any
other mill, and we hope now to see the
work Of getting Up a mill here pushed
vigorously.
Some other matters were before the
Alliance, but President keitt said they
were not yet ready to make them pub
lie. This will be done in due time.
AS We understand it is something in
regard to the principles and measures
The Alliance desires to be advocated by

Cheating a Big Corporation.

Many are the ways taken TO pass the ele-
waited railroad ticket chopper and leave no
ticket for him to chop. There Il q small
Italian boy somewhere In this town who
can give emcst any one points on this
business He rushed up the stairs at the
Park place station few days ago, in close
pursuit Of q negro youth. The negro had
Just dropped his ticket in the box when
the Italian reached the head of the stairs.
He tried to get out of sight, but the Italian
had his eyes on him.
Hi, there, you nigl" he shouted, "whata
for you cheata me.'
"What's he doner' asked the sympathetic
chopper.
Craps" briefly responded the Italian,
"an' now be runnin' away witha all me
nun. l f1xa beem you letta me in"
go ahead" said the chopper, scenting
sport.
The italian shot after the negro, and
much loud talk ensued, during which the
chopper kept close watch on the two, and
three trains went by.
"Oomel hurry up there" at length called
Out the chopper; get your money or slug
him and get out" Then his attention was
attracted to the other end of the platform,
a train came up the same instant, the
Italian and the negro stopped their wrang-
ling, walked quietly but quickly aboard,
and sat down side by side One who had
watched the proceeding from the begin
ming took a seat opposite.
II doa that up neata. ha" remarked the
Italian.
Yer did, fur Shore" replied the negro
solemnly.-New York Times.

And So They Were Married.

A bright sun and pleasant afternoon
seemed to halo the happy occasion, and in
its refulgence to forecast the happiness Of
a union of two young hearts that had been
devoted from youth and young girlhood
through the years to the full maturity Of
young manhood and womanhood, and at
last so auspiciously brought together under
the holy sanction of Gods ordinance to
beat as one.
On the very threshold Of vheir lives they
start together along the Journey of exist
ence hand in hrnd, heart to heart, full of
that hope and JOY which aureoles the vistas
that stretch out before them, and give
promise of so much Of that brightness that
pleases and gives zest TO life.
After the ceremony which made them
one q wedding dinner awaited them, and
in that feast of good things they read an
earnest, it is hoped, of the largess fate
which kindly hand has in store for them
through all their years to come, and III
the blessings Of those they love anS
love them. 1t Is the sincere hope Of all
their many friends that no shadow nay
ever fall upon their lives, and only fra
grant flowers bloom along their pathway.

A Glorious Tree.

Our elm, being so impatient of drought,
and being SO dependent on abundant nour-
ishment, Is not a safe tree to plant In all
sorts of soils and situations, although it
has long been the habit to plant it every
where in some parts of the country. AS
growth and vigor diminish insects null
tiply, and none of our trees suffers to such
an extent FROM their ravages. There can
be no more forlorn spectacle, certainly,
than the rows of half grown, stunted elm
trees which may be seen In our cities and
their suburbs, dishgured by the canker-
worm and by hordes of other insects.
The elm is one of the best trees TO plant
where the soil is deep and rich and where
moisture Is abundant and constant; it is
one OF the least desirable of all trees TO set
by the side of city streets, where plant food
is always lacking and where moisture is
quickly carried off by the artificial drain
age of roadbed and service pipes. Give it
fair chance and the American elm will hold
it's own against any tree In the world in its
own peculiar light and graceful beauty;
but, unless all the conditions favorit, there
is no tree less satisfactory, and it should
not be planted unless these conditions can
be suppied.-Garden and Forest.
