Another Letter from Col. StacklouSe,

LITTLE Rock, S c., April 80.
Mr.. Chas. Crosland, BennettSyille, $. c.
Dear Sir and Bro: Yonr letter Nf 23rl
fonnd on my return home last night
NV Barnwc!I letter was written in the in
tcrcst Of the Alliance. My duty to that or
ganization outweishs any personal ambi-
ton, and to avoid any misunderstanding,
let me say here that have no ambition to be
governor Of the State.
The benefits of the Alliance will not now
be questioned by any unprejudiced observ-
er; its possibilities for future usefulness will
depend largely upon its unity. To perpet-
Eate that unity every member Of the order
Shculi exercise q thoughtful interest IN the
consideration Of any question.
The Alliance takes III 4 class Of people
whose leading interests aie very nearly ldcn-
tlcal, wEo have been the prey OF class legl'-
iation. This c'ass legislation is mainly ma
tional; so onr order Is most interested III
national reforms, therefore it is neither nee
essary nor wise to divide Or take the risk Of
division on the minor question of State
policy as presented in the farmers move
ment when these questions can be rs well
settled without involving orr order in any
way. These questions constitutional con-
ycntion, reduction of State government,
&c, } will likely he settled by the result Of
TIE approaching State election. The more
important questions ot Tariff Reform, Mon
ey Volume, &C., will be more lasting and
difficult. The money POKER influence and
control in the National government will not
be readily CT easily restrained from It's op-
prcSsions. Sectional and rae" rreJndiccs
are relied upon to protect in tie contInu-
aIcc of legislative spol::,tion. but onr noble
organization is s,irfly coming t" the r@scne
of tEc tn;lin3 and oppressed millions. 1he
champions of sectional :,nd lace isSncS, in
the interest Of leealiZtd plnnder, will at no
distant ,ily be ordered to the rear. ana our
great National government Will be recon :.
strnc,cd on the grand platform ot ''Equal
rights to all and special privileges to none. ="
Pardon the attempt to illustrate MY We"
of this question. woEld not discount or
hinder reform in our State government. /
recognize its necessity, bnl fail to sec the
necessity or wisdom OF the Alliance, rs an
oreaniZaticr:, involving itself in the settle
ment OF these questions. itake 1t that there
will be plenty of discussion onts;dc, and
every member can vote his convictions
can only advise tic organization, rs an
organization, not to allow the discussion OF
these questions to endanger the unity OF the
Alliance.

A Sad Condition.

7 suffered for five years with the worst
form Of blood poison, during whicE time I
WAS attended by the best physicians could
find, and tried numbers of proprietary med
icines without any beneficial results. con-
timed to grow worse all this time until my
whole system WAS destroyed by the vile dis
ease; my tongue and throat having great
holes caused by it. then commenced TAX
ing Swift's Specific Is. S. S., and in few
months was entirely cured, and to this
great medicine do attribute my recovery.
This was over tw6years ago, and have had
no return, or any effects Of the disease since,
and my skin is to-day as smooth and clean
as anybodys. WILLIAM Sewers,

BUILD THE RAILROAD.

Manning needs and must have rail
road outlet to the Charleston, Sumter,
and Northern railroad, and the future
progress and prosperity OF our town
depends largely upon immediate ac-
ion in this matter.
The TINES is now in possession OF
facts sufficient to warrant us IN say
ing that the railroad officials are fa-
vorably inclined towards its construc.
lion, and the company will build it If
Manning will but do her part There
is no gainsaying the fact that the
road is an absolute necessity with ns.
The gates to the garden spot OF our
county are now opened to outside
markets, and We a,e shut out. The
citizens of Packsville, Silver, Summer
ton, and the entire western part OF
our county, are now more accessible
to Charleston and Sumter, than to
their own county seat. With them
goes their produce, and our largest
current of trade is turned away from
us. Something must be done. Let
all citizens who are interested in the
road meet in the court house at an
early day and take action.
President Silver will be in Sumter
within the next ten days. Now let
our town council call meeting Of the
citizens and invite him to be present.
Send q committee to escort him down,
show that we are deeply interested in
the subject, and our word for it, the
road will be built. We have as yet
done nothing to get the road; much
can be done; fellow w-citizens, we must
do all that lies in our power.

THE TOWN HALL.

AlS tOHd COulCl1 uSS Cesl!Slt y L!GCt-
ing Of the citizens of this town next
Monday afternoon, to determine
whether or not town hall is to be
built. Every citizen who is interest
ed in this matter should attend, and
eFery citizen should be interested.
We have interviewed each member of
the town council and several of our
citizens on this subject, and while
some are very favorably inclined, 9th
ers say let's do something else. It's
always something else. They have
not the proper spirit of progress
about them that they should have;
they do not long and love to see the
town growing and improving; they
are not willing to spend few dollars
for the permanent and necessary i'm
proyement of the town; they love
themselves entirely too much. An ef-
fort, and strong effort, will be made
next Monday to kill out the town hall
movement. Let there be full meet
ing, and let it be clearly shown how
beats the pulse of progress in this
town.
Mr. Moses Levi seems more alive
TO the interests of the town than any
other merchant here. He says suit
able building can be erected for
5000; that there would be no trouble
In renting the stores; and that with
the ordinary revenues, without bor-
rowing s,sSss:h GO :he hall could be paid
Tor ID three cF four years. 5TE Lew
is willing, if it is placed on any OF
his lots, to giue the lot to the town,
and will also at the same time build
adjoining the hall two additional
stores. That is the way We like to
hear one talk. Who else will make
I any such a proposition?
The next available lot is a splendid
corner lot, owned by DR.. S. c. G.
Richardson, and now planted in pota-
tees, that can be purchased for $4,000.
All the people in that section of the
town favor this lot, and it would make
q splendid site, though We think the
price rather high. But we should not
:aind 8 few hundred dollars, if it will
simply have the effect of getting our
people to work together and for the
good Of the town. They are now too
selfish.
Think over this matter; talk about
It; and come out next Monday to hon
estly and conscientiously act for the
best interests of the town. If you
think town hall, with two large
stores, 8 market, etc., will benefit this
town, then vote for it. but if you
think that already We have as much
life, and progress, and prosperity, and
enterprise, as We need, then vote to
Kill the town hall question.
We don't want to stop at the town
hall: we, want fire engine, and a rail-
road, and wagon factory, and can
ming factory, and cotton factory,
and some more business men full OF
life and vim. But We can't expect to
get all at once. The town hall and
FIRE engine and railroad, however,
can be had at once, and let's have
them.
We are trying to get other men to
invest their money for our benefit, as
FOR instance, to build another railroad,
: but if these men see us next Monday
sel6shly decline to make a small in
yestment like building a town hall,
they may conclude it is not just the
kind Of people they would like to
build railroad for. Let's build the
town hall.

What is ScrofuEa

1t is that impurity in the blood, which, aceumu.
latins in the glands Of the neck, produces un'
slightly Jumps or swcllings; which causes painful
running sores on the arms, legs, or feet; wl..ch
deveopes ulcers in the eyes, ears, or nose. often
causing blindness deafness; which is the origin
of pimples, cancerous growths, or many other
manifestations usually ascribed to "humors."
1t is moro formidable enemy than consumption
or cancer alone, for scrofula combines the worst
possible features Of both. Being the most ancient.
tits the most general Of all diseases or affections,
for very few persons are entirely free from it.
How can it be cured? By taking Hoods Sarsa-
parilla, which, by the cures it has accomplished,
often when other medicines have failed, has
proven itself to be potent and peculiar medicine
for this disease. For all affections OF the blood
Hoods Sarsaparlllai is unequalled, and some Of the
cures It has effected are really wonderful If you
suffer from scrofua in any of its various forms,
be sure to give Hoods Sarsaparilla 4 trial.
