grutny personai ambition, / shall be salts
ned II can impress one thought that will
divert the attention Of an honorable class of
citizens from politics.
The field Of politics Is not an Eldorado
tor the sun-browned, swc stained ye eomanry
of South Carolina.
III II was the Intention ( tho founders Of
the Farmers Alliance to Promote tho best in
terests OF agriculture, To encourage econ
omy, unity and harmony, to preserve honor
and to DO in alt our dealings honest and
square, the efforts Of the original projectors
haVo fallen far short Of their aims The
organization was intended TO benefit and
not to inJurc an already debt ridden people.
IL was TO devise methods Of ginning an in
dependent living; Of buying less ON credit
and selling more for cash; of making mar
kets, creating demands, and furnishing sup
Plies; OF improving conditions and placing
an honorable avocatiou upon a plane OF un-
questionable integrity. 1t was not Intended
TO be religious or political in its workings
anu ior Its patrons to wrestle with questions
OF church or state will eventually bring dis.
aster upon the order.
The one desire of every planter is to i'm
prove ms financial condition, and with calm
rejection every thinker will see ut q glance
that TINS can be done by diligcnt attention
to the duties OF his business. No other plan
can be better. Politics and planting are in.
compatible. BY this baneful mixture

crLIrTfso rms DEHOcsATIc PARrY.-It 10
unfortunate that some Of the Alliance leaders
are using the sub-treasury scheme as an
entering wedge TO eplit the Democratic party
In the South. We do not say this is their
design, but it is the inevitable effect Of the
present .e''"''c- s-----.-1. ~ i,s Iog,c,I con-
clusion. The Alliance cannot be united in
sentiment on the propriety and advan-
iage Of the scheme. Governor Tillman is
decidedly opposed to the scheme and thinks
. majority OF the Alliance members would
Alliance-Stok es-and State Lecturer Tai
bert seem to think It's q demand the obtsin-
'ihg OF witch 10 the sine qua non for the
Alliances existence.
Would the success of the scheme put any
more money in circulation and put the poorer
class OF farmers in any more advantageous
position than they now occupy? The object is
to enable the farmers 10 borrow 80 per cent
81 the deposit in the nationsl warehouse nt
l per cent. The man who is under the
necessity Of borrowing money on his crop
will rarely ever be able to raise the money to
redeem it. In that case the government will
sell at the end Of twelve months and the
farmer will find the proceeds frem tho 20
per cent. will usually be consumed in costs,
eto. 1t is true the person holding the ware
house receipt for deposits can sell, but the
amount realized would be uncertain until the
experiment Of conducting q warehouse is
thoroughly tested. The reservation of the
70 per cent. would indicate that it was for
the purpose Of securing the government
against possible loss, and government officials
are not noted for economy and generosity.
Is We have no personal interests in the
scheme, either for its failure or its success,
only as n journs ist to warn our readers TO
be cautious how they sntsr . whirlpool that
may swamp the Alliance ship. The interests
Of the people Of this section of country
are indissolubly connected. IL the farmers
prosper everybody else will participate in
tho fruits and rejoice with them. There
oughtto bs no antagonism between town
and country, professions and vocations
in The same community, oil share in pros
perity or adversty. If we could sec how
the sub-tressury scheme would benefit the
farmer We would be an ardent advocate Of
it and its enactment into law would bc o
copsummation dcvoutly to be wished

sE We honestly believe that Representa-
tive Godfrey Il. Fowler would mako q far
better State Lecturer for the Alliance than
superintendent 1albert. II cannot be de-
MED that Talbcrt, by his very extreme
opinions and arbitrary enforcement Of them,
has created decided breach in the
Alliance rank. which is destined to
grow wider and harder to reconcile. unless
moro conservative aud less dogmatical
representative OF true Alliance principles
and objects is put into the field % an
Instructor. While we think beth gentlemen
have n congressional "bec buzzing in their
bonnets' and would, perhaps, mako tho
position of Lecturer . means to that end,
MIR. Fowler would be more likely to
strengthen tho Alliance column 10y advo-
eating n generous aud firm touch Of the
elbow oil along tho line instead Of assuming &
the autocrst and m.t'r5 dissertations. W AT
tempting to force members to think as he
does, on all Alliance measures and matters,
or come under the ban of his autocratio dis
pleasure and bs requested to step down and
out from the order.
There is in the breast of every free Ameri-
can citizen, whether he belongs to tho AL
lance or not, a natural disposition TO indig-
nantiy rcpcl any attempt to invade The
sacred functions OF his own conscience, hv
the arbitrary dictation Of any ono, and Mr.
Talbert certainly has not, to say tho least,
pursued conciliatory and liberal course
the Farmers Alliance who do not agree with
him, upon either the practcability Of adopt
ing or the good that will como from certain
measures. Consequently hc has done more
to create discussions than to iufuse spirit
of unity and harmony in the Order, and We
believe n change Of Lecturer will be benefi-
oial TO tho Alliance.
What We have said is so.oly based upon
what we have CLEANED from conversations
with good Alliancemen men. No. being
eligible to membership in that Order, in con.
sequence of our vocation. we cannot speak
''from authority" but We do speak from the
general tenor Of conversation with Alliance
men on the subject aud without tho least
personal prejudice for or against either Mr..
Talbert or Mr. Fowler, but candidly and
honestly because we are friend to the Al
lance, we presume TO express an opinion
in the matter.

"DoS'T OFFER THE REWARD"

1t was written by q man in one of the upper
counties and asked the Governor not to offer

had killed negro, and for which n reward
had been requested. The writer stated that
the man wanted was living in a certain spot,
and his friends were only waiting for the
reward to be offered so that they could claim
it and use the money in defending the follow
on his trial. Incloscd was o map showing
