News and Courier
GEEENVILLE. Jul V 23.-luur cores
pondent interviewed number of dele
gates rs to various questions Of impor-
tance connected with the Alliance.
Mr.. J. s. Mckenzie, of Florence,
thought the Alliance in his country in
hourIshing condition. They will Use
any substitute for jute that can be had
for covering their cotton. The Alliance
is non-political body and takes no
stock in politics rs an organization.
Mr.. J. f. Pettigrnw, Exchange agent
for the same county, thought the State
Exchange all right, as far rs his county
was concerned. Most of the Sub-Alli-
ances had subscribed stock. He
thought to change its location to Char
lesion a good idea if the right man
could be had to take charge of It.
Or. J. +. Jarnigan, of Marion,
thought the Alliance in 4 healthy.
strong condition, working in full har-
mony. His people Will use hemp and
flax bagging as a substitute for jute.
In his opinion the Alliance should not
go into politics at all, but Of course rs
citizens the members bad the right to
discuss political matters that touched
their interest. His people believe in
the Exchange. He thinks the En-
change would have more advantages if
situated in Charleston, provided Col.
Donaldson orsome other good man had
charge. He thinks his people largely
favor the sub-t7easury scheme.
Capt. J. W. Wiley, of Colleton,
thought the Alliance was moving on
in his county. The people took great
deal of interest in it. They will use
hemp and flax bagging for covering
the cotton. The Alliance is taking no
stand in politics. We do not look upon
the Alliance as q political body at all.
Our people have not taken rs much in
terest in the Exchange as they should.
We favor Charleston as its location.
Major H. y. Sebels, of Lexington,
thought the Alliance strong and iD-
creasing in membership. His people
will use hemp and flax bagging instead
of jute. There is no such thing as poll
tics in the Alliance. We were not OF
ganized as Il political party, but to
the farmers condition. He
favors the Exchange being moved to 4
more central point.
Col. J. H. kinslcr, of Richland, said:
1--WE have but few Alliances in our
county, but they are all in fourishing
Had sent their order to
Business Manager Donaldson for flax
bagging. Of course We would like the
Exchange at Columbia, but are willing
for it to be moved to the most advan-
tageous point. We take no part in
State politics as an Alliance at all, but
we favor the sub-treasury bill as a ma
tional measure.
DR.. John H. Price, of Grangcburg,
thought the Alliance in Il very hope
ful condition in his county. In fact, it
was outstripping expectations. The
membership was increasing and many
had received substantial benefits from
a business standpoint. Our people ia
vor substitute for jute, and many Al
liances had placed their orders for
hemp and flax bagging. Our body, Of
course, is non-political, except as to a
few national questions, such as the sub
treasury bill. We favor the removal of
the Exchange to Charleston on account
of its superior freight and market re-
port facilities.
Mr.. Orran B. Riley, of Orangcburg,
who is the Exchange director for the
lst district, thinks that as Columbia is
a central point it would suit the En-
change much better as location. He
says the volume Of trade has been about
$50, 900 since established, less than Il
year ago.
DR.. w. H. Zimmerman, of Edgetield,
also one of the Exchange directors,
thought the removal of the Exchange
to a central point, say Columbia, would
be of much menetit to the Exchange
and the Alliance. He did not think
the freight facilities of Charleston
would do any good, as the goods are
not ordered in bulk.
Col. l.. p. Miller, of fNewberry, thinks
the Exchange should be moved to Co.
lumbia, a central point. The Newberry
farmers are going to use hemp and flax
bagging. Mr.. Miller favors the sub
treasury scheme.
Col. Jos. l.. Keitt, of Newbcrry, says:
sour Alliance is in good order. Our
Alliances are becoming better ac-
quainted with the State Exchange and
will patronize it more in the future
than in the past. We favor moving
the exchange to Columbia. We will
use no jute bagging. Our county ALI
ance passed resolutions calling upon
candidates for the Legislature to en-
press their opinion as to the measure
supported by the National Alliance and
to support none but those who would
vote for a United States Senator who
will support these demands.
