The Success Of the Alliance.

The farmers are deriving great
benefit from the Alliance. 1t has
saved them in Georgia alone $780,
600 in single year on the purchase
of fertilizers. 1t has lowered the
cost of almost every article they use,
food, clothing, farm implements,
wagons, buggies, and even the few
luxuries that Georgia farmers have
been able to enjoy. 1t has taught
the farmers the use of the most
powerful weapon in the struggles of
peace or war-co-operation. Divi-
ded, they were the easy pray of the
monopolists and trusts; but united
in phalanx 100000 strong, with
one wing resting on tho shores of
Maine, the other on the Pacific coast,
the farmers have become power.
They are the people, and they must
rule. The membership is steadily
increasing, and it's field of usefulness
steadily broadening. Our reports
from the South Chrolina Alliance
are particularly encouraging. The
order is making rapid progress in
that State and has, as the Georgia
Alliance, a settled policy of uplift-
ing the people and protecting them
from the designs of the monopolies
and trusts. The Alliance has a
good work before it. 1t has accom-
plished much, but it has much more
to accomplish. Fortunately for the
people, it has the courage and the
ability to wage war successfully and
to fulfill its mission.- .4Hauto .Ioa<y.

State Sunday; School Convention.

Charles H. Carlisle, of Spartan
burg, Chairman, has issued call for
the meeting of the interdenomina-
tional Sunday School convention of
South Carolina, in Columbia, on the
4th of next March, and to remain in
session for two or three days. From
the circular of Chairman Carlisle,
we take the following, which will be
of interest to those engaged in Sun.
day Schoc! work:
An attractive programme, with
speakers representating all sections
and denominationsIof the State, is
being prepared and will be an
nounced through the press in few
weeks.
Arrangements for special excur-
sion rates will bo, made with the
railroads and published in time for
the information of all concerned.
Chairmen of county conventions
arc earnestly requested to forthwith
confer with delegates elect to said
annual State convention and to urge
upon them to make their arrange
ments at once to be in attendance.
If any of them cannot or will not
attend, let the altcrnatcs be urged to
go in their places, or substitutes APP
pointed by the county conventions.
In the several counties where no
regular interdenominational asso-
Citations are organized, the denomi-
national associations, unions or con-
ferences, are earnestly solicited,
through their proper officers, to au-
thorizc and appoint suitable dele
gates to represent them in this in
terdcnominational Sunday School
convention. Or, where no organiza-
ton exists, the pastors and superin-
tcndents of individual churches and
schools are cordially invited to at
tend themselves or appoint repre-
sentatives. Every person attending
is assured of a warm reception and
is promised profitable occasion.
Every county organization, wheth-
er denominational or not, is urged to
prepare and send up to this meeting
full statistics of the numbers, con-
dition and prospects of Sunday
School work in their respective coun-
ties or districts. Any facts regard
ing this great department Of Christ's
church i'll this State will be great

The Congressional Race.
TURNING OF THE BUGGY WHEEL.

Our contemporaries, the Columbia
Register and the Charleston World,
have been discussing the question as
to which side of a wagon wheel goes
forward faster, and up to this time
each editor holds his own views Of
the matter. Meeting Mr.. Noble Bell
of Antrevillc, on our streets last
Monday, he enquired for copy Of
the Register. That enquiry brought
up the wagon wheel question, and
soon numbers of by-standers took
part in tho discussion. Mr.. Bell said
he had worked with wagons all his
life, and he knew what he was talk
ing about when he said one side went
as fast as the other. The by-standers
were divided in opinion. One man
said plain horse sense would teach a
man that both sides turned alike, but
science might teach differently. SIr.
Benet came up. lie Joined the side
OF those who thought that the top
side went fastest. First one and
then another came up and left the
question still unsettled. Among the
rest who came was gentleman who
seemed to think that n man was little
of an idiot who doubted that both
sides went forward at the same rate
OF speed. Mr.. Benet was quoted rs
authority for the belief that the top
side went faster than the lower side.
Just then that stranger said, "We'll
not send Benet to the Legislature
any more. If he believes any such
thing he ought to go to school," To
settle the matter q buggy in a back
lot was sought. The ground oppo-
site spoke was markell. The mud
was scrapcd off tho spoke on the top
side. lie held stick pointing to
the top spoke. When the buggy had
been moved forward until the end of
the top spoke was moved about two
feet, seeing that the bottom spoke
had scarcely moved, he threw down
his stick and said, "Wc'll send Benet
to Congress. ."-A6beoiUe Press and

How To Save Your Meat.

AS the warm and variable weather
of this winter renders the killing OF
pork unsafe for keeping, we print
the following from the Texas farmer,
J. D. Welborn, as his mode Of
treating pork in warm weather:
swarm, damp weather opens all
the poros in the meat. The salt will
extract every particle of the impu-
rites inside of four days, but the
salt keeps these impurities from
evaporating by holding them in q
liquid state around the meat. This
blood, etc., will attract flies and will
sour the meat; but if at the end of
four days the meat is taken up and
the old brine poured off and the salt
brushed off, then rcsalted with clean
salt, covering the meat entirely, al
lowing no two pieces to touch, and
cram salt next TO the box, 80 each
piece will be wrapped in salt, it will
keep. have resalted this way
when the meat was tainted, and all
the faint would disappear and the
meat cure up pure and sweet. The
refuse salt can be made to pay for
itself by sowing it on loose sandy
soil or trashy land of any kind so MS
to show about like heavy frostv :
not thicker; but do not put on clayey,
stiff soils without trash"
TO PICKLE PORK.
Sides may be picked and made
more desirable meat than if smoked.
Picking can be successfully done as
late as the first of March. Tho fol-
lowing recipe is said to be rclia-
bic:
"The meat should be busted lightly
with saltpctre, sprinkled with salt
and allowed to drain twcnty-four
hours, then plunge into pickle and
keep under weight. Make eight gal
Ions of brine strong enough to float
an egg, add two pounds of brown
sugar, or a quart Of molasses, and
four ounces of saltpctre; boil and
skim, clean, and pour cold on on
meat, covering it all with the l;quid.
