TIE ALLIANCE AND POLITICS.

few Alliance brethren, together with
many other citizens who do not belong to
the order, fail to comprehend the relation
ship that the Alliancs bears, or should bear.
to politics These persons seem to think
that an Alliance collectively aud individual
member should have no,bing to do with the
political questions and issues Of the day.
You will hear them assert something like
this: ''The Allinncc has done great good
for the farmers; but she is going into poll
tics, ai,d her doom is sealed and her days arc
numbered"
Such people do not know our duty as free
citizens, nor the objects Of tho farmers Ali
ance. We who belong to the Farmers ALI
ance are just as much entitled to our indi-
vidual political opinions rs ever; and when
we can make these ndioidu0l political opinions
more potent for COED by joining together and
uniting our efforts with good men of oil pro-
fessions, for men and measures that will
bring tho greatest benefit to the most people,
We erp.ct thus far to be political.
The Alliance is not, nor never should be
anu believe never viii be, partisan in poll
tics. But to tho extent, that politics should
enter and permeate our Alliances as factor,
for the upbuilding of the agricultural inter-
es's of our impoverished county, and the
placing of the farmers interest of the lend
on an equal footing with the other noble call
ings to that extent, may the good Lord help
us to be political.

ISN'T 1T STRANGE!

/. 1t is surprisin ngly strange that the negro
that the honest white man of. tho South is
his best friend. 1t is doubly strange that
20 years Of sad experience has not taught
him the lesson Of wisdom and self.intsrest
For 25 years he has experienced the worst
form Of slavery. for, being bolstered up
with fair promises of gaining he has been
ridden as . brute by such ofice-seekers as
Moses, Cardosar, Scott and host Of others,
who. for the sake of thoir own aggrandize-
ment have made the negro to strive against
his best friends, and AS the dumb as, has
ridden into office upon him and then left
him with not even enough straw to satisfy
his hunger.
And to-day, whore are thcac guides and
leaders of yours, my colorcd friends? Jug
tice has Overtsken them, aud penitenIiaries
and ohain-gangs will echo back, "here thoy
are are" And to-day, l trow not but that
some scalnwag with greedy eye for the
goal of Office is endeayoring to make you the
cats paw for their own gain. Go to Ohio,
my colored iriends-apr professed State of corn
and wioe for the negro--a land of double
dyed abolitionists-where The greatest pre-
teniions are made for your race, and alas !!
the negroes, who are in the majority, hold
not the Offices nor enjoy the liberty of those
among the honest white man of the South.
And now some unprincipled offios-seeker
for his own gain, is using these little one
horse newspapers to get you to take sides
against your best friends, and will endcavsr
TO get into efice at your expense, and will
create hard feelings between you and those
among whom you were born, and among
whom you are likely to die.
Alas next November those magnificent
castles that you expect TO enter will vanish
into the chilling air of dreary wiuter and
those wondei fol counsellors and true friends
of yours at the North, will mystcriously for
sake you til the next election year. Thus
from year 10 year they deceive you and
leave you poorer and farther alienated from

TURNING AGAINST TrLLMAN.-A good many
farmers were in the city yesterday, and
Ne,0s reporter saw and heard of number
Of them who said that Greenville County
was not ali Tor Tillman by good deal.
Many Of them had started out with tho idea
Of supporting Tillman, but have become con-
vinced that it is to their interest TO vote
against him. They say that sentiment in the
county is rapidly changing, and that tho
sturdy farmers Of every section arc pre-
pairing to fight Captain Tillman to the bitter
end. A Ne,cs reporter was told of seven
good formers Of the county whs met in front
Of Main Street store Saturday to discuss
the situation. Evey one of them had bee1
for Tllman, but in the last few days they
had become disgustsd and will now vote
against him and fight him till ho is nomi-
mated or defeated in the convention. Re-
ports of this kind were heard during the
day aud encouragement once more filled the
hearts of the auti-Tillmanites.-Gr GreenpiLe

to do bis whole duty and we endorse and
commend your farmer admonition to guard
the door of entrance into our societies.
Yes Quality before Quantity all the time.
Your horse problem Mr.. Editor, is one that
is difficult to solve. We should keep our
surplus stock through the idle months on
good but cheap food and believe there is
none better, or m orc easily grown. than pea
vines.
We must not be too hard on cur candidates.
Social people will ride miles, You know, to
SEQ their friends and it is quite a pleasure
for us to write to them-our friends.
We agree with you about the needed
schools, and if parents could be rightly in

hereby nominate him as candidate repre-

The people of Union County know him, and
know that he is an eloquent speaker, firm
aud untiinching advocate of ali the politica |
and educational reforms now asked for
and actually needed by the people of South

the position we now seek to place him in, he
advocated. almost alone, certain reforms in

Many of those reforms have been secured :;
but there are still important reforms neccs-
sary and we know no man betcr able to
secure them FOR us than Mr.. Whitman. X
