Frenchmen named Audier, who at

Chief Clerk Henderson, of the general
managers Office of the Southern Cali

jump, looking after the immense ship

made over his line. Mr.. Henderson
states that larger quantities are sent
forward every day than the day before.
Prices obtained in eastern markets are
unusually high, owing to the failure Of
the crops in the east. Returns from
these consignments are received very

is years old, picked $50 pounds OF cotton
by 3 o'clock in the afternoon one day last
week Had it not been for the rain that
came up at that time he would have picked
between 400 and 800 pounds. Can you beat
that?
The bad weather for the last two or three
weeks seems to have brought i quantity OF
bad liquor and temper with it. Fighting,

County Alliance.

The County Alliance met in the court
house last Monday, but on account of u
misunderstanding about the date of holding
the meeting, several sub-alliances were not
represented. The only business of public
nature was the adoption Of the following:
Resolved, That we recommend to the
brethren of the sub-alliances in the vicinity
of the town of Manning to appoint Th7rs-
day of each week as day to sell cotton in
Manning, and invite buyers to meet the
cotton on that day. We also recommend to
the sub-alliances in Salem, to select suita-
BILE place, and appoint certain day for the
same purpose.
The president announced that the alli-
ances in the Silver neighborhood had Sc
lected Friday of each week to sell their cot
ton.
The reports from the several sections of
the county show that the sub-alliances are
in prosperous condition, and that their
members are anxious to sell their cotton in
the county instead of carrying it elsewhere.

necessarily fatal, and he is said to be i'm
