when meteor flashed across the
heavens, and the next instant huge
stone, measuring about eight feet in
diameter, camo through tho air, and
with terrific force crashed into the
bed of the wagon directly behind
him, grazing the seat he occupied as
it fell. The horses wore wild with
fright, but the heavy stone pinned
the wagon to the earth, and as they
could not break the heavy chain
traces they were unable to run Off

meteor whizzing through the air, but
had no idea what it was until he was
joltcd out of his seat by the crash.

NEwBERRY, S. c., July 16, 1890.
Dear Sir: Your letter of the 18th
was received, and in reply Ihave this
to say: Mr.. Gonzales obtained infor-
nation from some member of your
committee upon which he based his
letters of the 9th and 10th of May to
the News and Courier. I have been
unable to get q copy of that of the
10th, the one of the 9th being short
on accout of the latoness of the hour
of adjournment of your committee.
He stated, if I recolloct correctly,
that the question of a primary was
acted on, and further stated that the
committee stood 13 against Tillman
to 1 for him. If [ recollcct properly
this last statement was italicized and
IN figures. Your committee met
again Oh the 25th of June. Our con-
yention met on tho 28th Of June.
During all of this tim. that elapsed
between May 9th and June 25th no
correction of Mr.. G.'s statement was
made by your committee, nor was
any action taken upon it at your
meeting OF Juno 25th. You allowed
it tGStand that 13 of the ii members
present were against Mr.. Tillman.
and it was only after the publication
Of our proceedings had on the 28th
of June that we hear Of any denial.
We had a right to infer from that
statement that vote on calling q
convention for. primary had been ta-
ken, and that it stood 13 against and
for. You say that no vote was ta-
ken; you say no action was taken on
the primary. Is it not possible. then
that an outside agreement was had
on the question, and decided so as to
ayoid the question coming up in the
meeting? If you vii! give me the
names of one OF moro of the 13 who
favored convention for primary
outside or inside of the meet
ing On the 9Th of May, J will
ehoela aully correct to that extent

BENEFITS OF THE ORDER.

The improved business methods in
troduccd by the order have saved
hundreds Of thousands of dollars to
the farmers Of the State, but import
ant as is this money saving to the
farmers Of the State, tho gain in in
formation and manhood is vastly moro
important Tho Alliance has not only
demonstrated the practical benefits
OF unity, but that it has stimulated
and has given direction to individual
efforts, is the testimony of observers,
both in and out of the order. The
farmers of the State arc more cheer
full and hopeful than they have been
for many years, and it will not be de
MED by those who have observed and
studied the farmers condition, that
it is mainly due to the bcneticicnt
teachings and operations Of your no

Dear Sir-The resolution referred
to the refusal of the committee in
May Ga dA III OF two after the Ridge
way specify to call a convention
looking to the question of primary
being submitted to it. My recollec-
ton when I drew it, was, and is now,
that N. G.. G. in his letter published
the next morning in the News and
Courier, stated the Executive Com
mittee stood Is to 1, and stated, 1
think, "that it was no secret" If you
have the paper you can, by eXamin-
ing it, see whether OF not I was
wrong. I have not q copy of it.

delayed by my absence from home.
AS / have already assured you that
the State Executive Committee did
not vote upon the question of a pri-
mary at the moeting held May Sth
the reply you make is quite unsatis-
factory. You have based an attack
upon the Executive Committee on III
formation that is totally incorrect,
and your statement in reference to
what N. g. &. aaid the next morning
in the News and Courier is equally
wide of the mark. He referred to the
Executive Committee as being 13
against and one for Tillman, but this
is very different from refusing "to
give us State primary as you allegc
was done. will be very glad to
know whether you propose to make
the correction, and in case you de-
cline to do SO, I will print this CORE
spondence in justice to the Executive

Messrs. Switz and Forman are on the

Mr.. Mohler, in speaking of the affairs Of
the road said that the very large increase
of business at this end during the past
year, had fully demonstrated the wisdom
of extending the line into Montana. He
said that work on the westward extension
was rapidly progressing. The eastern
terminus has not been fully decided upon,
but will be at some point betwe en- Fort
Assiniboine and Havre. When asked
about the other end, Mr.. Mohler said the
Great Northern might have several ter

Northern are fully appreciated ia shown
by the constantly increasing passenger
traffic. The mission of the party. is pure

that their visit to Butte was with the
