The Executive Committee-R. T. G.
Hunter, L. P. Miller and H. C.Wilson
were also present.
The committee on arbitration and
good of the order, consisting Of Capt. H
II. Folk, Mr.. T. w. keitt and DR.. w
E. Lake, was also in attendance.
A resolution was adopted requesting
all Alliancemen to subscribe for the
National Economist as the only means
OF informing themselves on Alliance
matters.
The arbitration committee reported
that the difficulty between the two
factions Of the Trinity Alliance had
been amicably adjusted. The old ALI.
ance had paid up its dues and been
reinstated, and was represented in the
meeting by Mr.. w. A. Reid.
The following resolution, prepared by
Lecturer S. Pope, was adopted:
Resolved, That the Newberry Coun-
ty Alliance endorses the course of Presi'
dent J. VIM. Stokes, in defending the
principles md demands of the order
and bids lin God speed in the good
work.
A good portion Of the time was taken
up in hearing the report of the County
Lecturer on the result and work of the
recent campaign in the county. Upon
the whole this report was encouraging
and the work was. satisfactory. Only
at two of the appointments was there
any drawback. At Mt. Tabor, the first
meeting held, the lecturer sai' that
they were given very cordial recep'
ton and everything moved smoothly
until late in the afternoon, after the
speaking had been concluded, when
brother Scott poured hot shot into the
speakers and rather threw q damrel
over what was said.
At Bush River the meeting was
rather informal, there being no one
there to introduce the lecturers and nc
accommodations provided. At the
other appointments there was nothing
to mar the harmony nor counteract the
influence of the lecturers, and every
thing moved on smoothly.
The Liberty Hall matter came ur
naturally by the Inquiry if that Sub
alliance had obeyed the resolution
adopted by the last County Alliance
asking it. to ,rescind certain resolutions
passed by it, all of which has been pub
lished heretofore. This brought from
Mr.. Jno. w. Scott, delegate from
Liberty Hall, statement to the effect
that Liberty Hall had not rescinded
the resolutions in question. He re-
viewed the whole Gaze, including the
action of the County Alliance and the
Liberty Hall Sub-Alliance.
It was all considered in a friendly
way and the matter, on resolution, was
referred to the Committee on Arbitra.
ton and the Good of the Order, and
no doubt will all be settled peacefully
and harmoniously. The arbitration
committee and committee from Lib
erty Hall will meet to adjust the mat
ter at an early date. The trouble seems
to be now, not that Liberty Hall re-
fused to endorse the Ocala platform, OF
at least some portions of it, but because,
as an Alliance, it endorsed the Demo
cratic party, that being considered con-
trary to the constitution of the order
which forbids having anything to do
with partizan politics, as an alliance,
but permits the members to belong to
whatever political party they choose.
A meeting of Warehouse trustees was
held after the adjournment Of the ALI
ance but nothing is given out for pub
lication.
The sub-lecturers will meet the dis
trict and county lecturers at Newberi y
on the 24th instant, at II a. m.
