Meeting Of tins 0conee County Farm
ers' Association.

On Monday last there was quite n
large assemblage of farmers and
others from the various sections of the
county in response to the call issued
by Mr. r. w. Shelor, Chairman Of
the County Executive Committee Of
the Farmers Association.
The meeting was cal d to order
III the Court House by Chairman
Shcior ut twelve O'Clock, and Capt.
J. l.. Shanklin was unanimously
elected Chairman and the rcprcscn-
tatives of the press Of the County
were requested to act as Secretaries.
The Chairman briefly explained
that the object of the meeting was
The election of delegates to the
State Convention Of the Farmers
Association, to convene in Columbia
March 27, in response to the call Of
Chairman Shell.
Capt. II. ID. Long moved that the
Convention proceed to elect delegates
to the Convention. After brief dis
cussion the motion was carried.

mated the following persons, who
were unanimously elected as dele
gates, viz: A. p. Crisp, DR.. }. A..
Johns, j. II. Earle, Jr., w. j. New
illc, A. Bcardcn and S. Y. Stribling.
Mr.. j. l.. Smith moved that the

discussion this motion was carried.
Mr.. J. II. Earle. Jr., submitted the
following resolutions as amended by
Maj. Wm. j. Stribling.
Resolre0, CD That, with the lights
now before us, it is the sense of this
Convention that it would be unwisc

March Convention of Farmers, bnt
that this is not meant as instruction
to our delegates.
Resoiced, (2) That the Executive
Committee Of the Democratic Party
of this State be requested to hold

against nominating State officers in
the approaching convention. This
discussion was participated in either
directly or by suggestion, by Mcssrs.

mcet the occasion like brave lnem,
and it is to be hoped they will. And
this, as understand 1t, is what the
Farmers Alliance proposes to do.
1t asks the farmers to unite in their
own interests; to be mutual helpers;
to struggle individually for the com
mon rights of all; to meet manfully
with organization; to raise the stand
ard of equal justice and right against
the black flag Of oppression; to seek
the best markets for buying and ell
ing, and by Coz operation enable each
to get just value for the products
OF his own labors
These noble ends cannot he accom-
plished in a day or a year. Some
of them may never be fully accom-
plished. But there cannot but be
good resulting from the agitation
and discussion now going on. If
ever class of men needed relief or
deserved it, that class is the farmer.
His life has not Of recent years been
a happy one. And yet it seems that
he might, and should be independent
and happy,
The farmers OF the South might,
to large extent, fix and control the
price Of cotton. There may be
some who say, that is monopoly But
have not the farmers been under the
grinding heel OF monopoly for a
quarter of century? But it is not
monopoly. 1t is but the assertion of
that great principle, that the laborcr
is worthy of his hirc--that the pro-
duccr is entitled to, at least, Il rca-
sonabc share in the profits of his
own labor. They have been slaves
and bondsmcn long enough, and
there will be glad shout from all
over the land when they shake off
their bonds and become free.
Then let the farmers rally around
one common standard; let them not
wavcr in ranks, but stand shoulder
to shoulder in one common co,sc
and victory will bc ,hcirs

noted counterfeiter and he is still in jail.
GOLD COIN SELDOM CoUNTERFEITED.
Gold goin is seldom counterfeited for the
reason that it takes some gold to run the
business and the machinery for doing the
work is expensive Gold coins must be
made from dies and not east, and while al
most any mechanic can make silver dol
lar, it takes good DEAD of an artist to get up
a counterfeit fve-dollar gold piece. am
told that only one bogus twenty dollar gold
piece has ever been discovered and this
bears the date of 1850. In this case gen
uine double eagle was split in two and as
much gold as possible was scooped out of
!, the inside of it. Other metal was then put
in to make up the weight and the coin was
then put together again. 1t was a filled
coin rather than counterfeit and was ac-
tually worth about seven dollars. Several
ten dollar gold pieces have been counter
feited and the most dangerous is that OF
1S47. The first five-dollar gold piece was
issued in 1880 and about twenty two other
issues have appeared since then.
| The most skiilful counterfeits in gold
that were ever made are dated 1882. The
Chinese are adopts at filling gold coin, and
| they will take q thousand silver dollars
and get a grain or SO out of each one and
think they are making money by passing
them again. Women have little to do in
the filling of coin, and such filled coins as
are in circulation are made by men.
The secret service department of the
treasury has frequently to use women DIS
detectives or assistants to other detectives.
Many of the counterfeits are detected right
here in the treasury department and the
lady counters Of the treasury surpasS the
bank cashiers in their delicacy of touch
and the accuracy with which they pass
upon the genuineness of a bill. All bank
Eotes are strained through the tellers and
cashiers Of the various banks before they
come here, and these girls pass upon the
strainings. They note to an atom just how
the paper on which the bank notes are
printed should feel and | have heard it said
that there is one girl in the treasury who
once detected counterfeit in the middle
of pile Of money six inches thick by
merely seeing the tain edge of it, This
may not tie true, but equally wonderful
things happen in this big money mill every
day. These counters get only SIS a month
and many OF taem save the government
more than that in the counterfeits which
they detect in Ii week. Women have to do
with destroying the bad bills and all
counterfeits which once get into the
treasury never get out again. The letters
s'bad'' are punched into them by patent
punching machine over which woman
presides and the American female thus
acts here as the goddess of justice as she
does outside among these gangs of thieves
as the goddess of vice.
