County Alliance.

The County Alliance held its regular quar-
terly meeting III the court house last friday:
Ali of the sub-allianceS were represented
and the attendance was large. President
James z. Tndal came down from Columbia
to attend this meeting, and after calling the
body to order he made a very instructive
and able address. He explained the work
ines of the State Alliance Bank that isscon
to be established, and showed the eXpedl-
ency of such an institution for the members
of the order and those ID sympathy with
them
Immediately after his address the alliance
exchange was thoroughly discussed, and
action taken looking to the improvement OF
the present system. Several questions OF
importance were discussed which cannot De
mentioned here, but the members of the
order will get the information by attending
the meetings of their respective sub-aill-
ances. At said meetings the representa-
tives will report all the private matters that
were acted upon by the county'al!laace.
The county business agent made his re-
port for the information Of the meeting,
and It WAS satisfactorily received. lbs dld
a large business, although 1t was done under
great disadvantages, but the prospect IS that
the disadvantages will be removed and he
will be able to do much better.
The meeting showed that the farmers al
llance is in fine condition, and that 1t has
proved a great blessing to many OF lis mem
bers. It has caused them 70 be more eco
nomical and more attentive totiiseeir t4sss
ness, and as a natural consequence they
have made more money at less expense than
heretofore, and by making more money II
enabled them to pay their debts and once
more many breathe free and independent
atmosphere.
Stick to its principles, for in unity there
is strength, and by being unit nothing can
shake YOUR efforts.
