County Alliance Meeting.

The people of Clarendon have nev-
er seemingly been more deeply inter
ested in the success of any cause than
are the farmers now in the success of
the Alliance. The court house last
Friday was well filed with Alliance
iinee. nee.a from ssoa every section of the coun-
ty. In addition to the delegates pub
lished below there was large num-
Der of visitors, and all interested in
the meeting. We are glad to see this,
and if the farmers will only stick to-
gether, work together, work as unit,
let all their energies be consolidated
for common good, great and good
results will naturally follow. No one
who was present in the meeting of the
County Alliance last Friday could fail
to catch some of the enthusiasm of
the elbow touch in that meeting. 1t
was like the counseling together of a
band of brothers. The following is a

President Jas. E. Tindal made q
long and interesting speech on gener-
al subjects, especially urging upon the
members the Importance of keeping
their obligations Everything said
and done in the Alliance is secret.
The Alliance cannot afford to have
its secrets divulged, and any member
who discloses anything said or done
in the Alliance should at once be ex-
PEELED from the order. The secrets of
the Alliance, whether in the form Of
passwords, grips, or the private prices
of groceries and guanos, should all
be held sacred. If the members do not
thus act, they cannot and will not be
able to get wholesale cash prices. The
wholesale merchants will be afraid to
give them. Let every member learn
to hold his tongue, and learn that 81
lence is an indication Of the wise
man.
MIR. Jas. E. Davis, county trustee
for the State exchange, made his re-
port. It was very encouraging. The
idea is if the home merchants will sell
right, then to invariably patronize
them, but if they don't sell right to
buy through the exchange. Alliance
men will be able this year to buy fer
tilizers cheaper than eve. before.
The Alliance unanimously adopted
resolution pledging every Alliance
man to use cotton bagging the com.
ing year. Jute bagging is thing OF
the past, and our merchants will act
wisely not to buy any more Of it.
At the meeting of the trustees OF
the sub-alliances held in the court
house last Monday, Mr.. J. Elbert
Davis was elected county business
agent for this county, at a salary OF
$500 year
