The Good Old Days are Here.

We venture the assertion that since the
first of January more actual cash has chang
ed hands among the farmers Of Clarendon
than in any other year since the wal. They
started the new year determined to live
economically and to work harder than ever
so that they could Shake off the shackles OF
5aht that have been burden to them Tor
SO many years.
There is hardly day but that We can lind
number of farmers in town buying goods
for the cash, and in talking with some OF
them we find that they feel more encour-
aged to enter in upon their years work than
they have before.
Heretofore it was customary TOR farmer
to make his arrangements with merchant
for certain amount in goods, and as Sc
cur;tv to said merchant the farmer gave o
lien upon his crop or {; mortgage OF his land
which forced him to buy his goods from
the party he. made his arrangements WITH
whether he was satisfied or not. In other
words, if he became dissatisfied he had to
grin and bear it." But now things are
different Arrangements have been made
by great many by which they can Obtain
the money, and having the money IN their
pockets can buy from whom and where they
please. The merchants being aware OF such
condition of things are doing all in their
power to keep the farmer from carrying the
money away from here, and all kinds Of in,
ducements are being offered, and the farmer
is beginning to feel that his business Is
worth something.
We were told last Saturday by gentle
man who has been in the habit Of purchas
ing his supplies elsewhere, that since he
commenced to buy for cash he finds that hs
can buy in Manning as cheap rs he can buy
elsewhere, and as long as our merchant:
will allow him he will continue to buy a
home. This party further says that th'
prospect fora good crop year was neve
brighter, and that his brother farmers are
whistling and singing at their work in tn
5 fields.

Getting Out of Debt.

The Cotton Plant says: "Some of themer-
chants complain that business is dull, and
give rs an explanation of this unusual state
of things ct this season the fact that the
farmers are saving their money. This is
good for the farmers and will eventually
prove to be coed for the merchants and the
country generally. The farmers IN every
section and community where the Alliance
exists are making a noble effort to get out OF
debt and in condition to run their farms
on cash system, and the wisdom OF this
course cannot be too earnestly emphasized.
The Alliance has planted new hope IN the
breasts of thousands of struggling. and
dispirited farmers, and the dawn Of better
day is already seen. Let no man put an
obstacle in the way OF our aspiring and
strucrlino husbandmen"

Annual Election of Officers-Discussion
on Cooperation.
SAN Francisco, March 2Oth.-The Crane.
growers and Wine-makers Association of Cali
fornia held meeting at Platts Hall this after.
noon, al O'Clock The meeting was called to
order by Prof. j. HuSsman, OF Napa The Sec
retary read communication from Scandi-
naylan journal, published in Chicago, regard
ing the temperance movement, which, on
motion, duly seconded, was put on fle
telegram wss received from the St Helena
wine men favoring the passage of the National
anti-adulteration w in Congress as most
iml prtant step in favor of the wine industry.
Nominations were then in order and the fol
lowing gentlemen were placed in nomination:
For President H. NJ. Lakue; Vice Presidents
+. I. Eisen, ]. L. Doyle, C. C. McIyer, 4. w
Maslin, J. de Barth Shorb; Secretary, George H.
Maxwell; Treasurer, E. c. Priber: Directors
George Hussman, A. G. Chausbe, a. W. Crabb.
&C. Priber, NJ. NJ. Estee, j. B ]. Portal
The nominees were declared elected by vive
yoce vote.
A discussion on the subject of Co operation in
storing wines followed. J. B. J. Portal. of san
Jose, ssid that the project of storing wines had
been followed in France and also Italy and it
was found that storing in large warehouses was
much more beneficial than storing in small. pri-
vate cellars. and was the only proper way of
maturing wines. Maturing wine is the only
way to make money in this industry
Mr.. Wetmore said that he did not believe in
the principle OF Granger cooperation. he did
believe IN co operation to make money. None
OF these institutions ever succeeded The rea-
son OF it is that men use their money for their
own benefit. A body of ten men Will get to-
gether ostensibly to work for the general good,
but wind up by having ring to work tor them
selves.
Professor Hussman read some notes on CO.
operative distillery in Napa, and gave some fig.
ures TO show that in This case. at least, COOP
Grafton seemed to have fair measure of ST. c.
cess.
Mr.: Smith said that it never appeared clear to
him how TO reconcile and harmonic all the in
terests that grow out of the proposition of co
operation. He could see that it was very desir-
able but he did not think 1t was possibleto to har-
monize all of the conditions that would come
up in making success. The different growers
would all be naturally disposed to acquire the
best price possible for their wines if put In in
common, and the speaker apprehendedi it would
be serious question to determine the valus.
ton, and make things satisfactory to all con.
cerned.
Mr.. Wetmore suggested that the subject for
discussion at the next meeting be: THE Proper
Methods of Sulphuring Wines and the PROPER
Use. OF sulphur in Maturing Wines" and spoke
at length on the importance of this phase of
wine making.
