Earthquake in Ca'ifol .aia-

NApA, Cal, Oct. l2-The heaviest
earthquake shock ever felt here was
experienced at 1880 last night. People
rushed into the streets in their night
clothes in great excitement. Chimneys
toppled over, several buildings were
shattered and badly shaken up. Drug
store fixtures suffered greatly, bottles
being thrown from shelves to the floor
a1d other damage done. The Masonic
temple, fine building, was shattered.
At the insane asylum great excitement
prevailed, the patients being almost
uncontrolabie. 1t is reported that the
building was cracked aud other damage
done.
san FRANCISCO, CAL, October Il
The effects Of the earthquake, which
visited some portions Of Northern CAL
ifornia last night appear to have been
greatest in Napa and the Synoma Val
lev, where the shock is described as
being the heaviest experienced since
yhe great quake Of 1868. At Napa and
SonOma walls were cracked, chimneys
were demolished and in some instances
fell through the roofs. Window glass
was broken, people were reused from
their beds aud many passed the night

Whereas, The State Alliance and

cotton States for the purpose OF con-
sidering the question of reducing the
acreage Of cotton; and
Whereas, The State Alliance and
State Agricultural Society OF Georgia
at their meeting appointed committees
for the purpose Of considering this
question, aid those committees having
met in joint session in Atlanta on the
10th instant and adopted this sugges-
ton; therefore
Resolved, That the Alliance of South
Carolina having suggested Atlanta as
the place of holding such convention,
and the holding Of the Piedmont Ex-
position in Atlanta giving an oppor-
tunity of securing very low rates from
all points in the South, we request that
representatives from the cotton States
meet in Atlanta on Tuesday, the 10Th

sidering The question of reducing the

the presidents of the State Alliances
and agricultural societies.
Resolved, That all exporters, manu-
facturers, factors and other nanipula-
tors of cotton be invited to attend said

cussion by proper representation.

rected to give notice to all State organi-
cations of the action Of this joint COM

these resolutions.
In pursuance Of the above resolr-
tions, we request you to appoint at
your earliest convenience representa-
tives from your organization and notify
them of their appointment. We de-
sire as full a representation as possible,
as the questions to he discussed are OF
the greatest Importance to the cotton
growers, and it is hoped that such
methods will be derived and adopted
as will be of great benefit to all who
grow and handle cotton.
1t is further requested that you APP
point from your representatives per
sous to open the discussion on the
topics suggested in the above resolu-

HOW IS THIS?

We find the following preamble and
resolutions in the last issue Of the
Ocoree News. Are these resolutions
the result Of the political light and
education of the Alliance lecturers
who have been doing missionary work
in and around 9conee? Are our farm
ers in favor of any such scheme as is
proposed by the Burns Mills Alliance
No. 1888? This is a great scheme. We
wonder if Burns Mills Alliance No,
1853 has thought what proportson OF
this fertilizer manufactured under this
scheme the railroads, factories and cor
porations and people living in cities
and TOYS would get. They pay State
taxes. But then Burns Mills Alliance
No. 1883 is not serious. It is only
funaing. Here are the resolutions:
Editor Oconee News:--I am requested
to furnish you for publication the
following preamble and resolution
adopted by this Alliance No. 1888, at
it's last meeting, to wit:
WHEREAS, Nature has bountifully
blessed South Carolina with rich and
inexhaustible deposits Of Phosphate
Rock in the navigable rivers OF the
State-from which can be manutac'
tured the highest grade Of fertilizers fol
enriching the soil, thereby increasing
four fold it's productive power; and
whereas, there is from 900 to ], 200 con-
victs in the State Penitentiary, who
can not be proftably employed on the
State farms, neither can they be hlreo
or leased out advantageously IN com
petition with free labor, therefore be II
ResoIued, That we, members o.
Burns Mills Alliance No. 10SS, urge
and hereby ask, the assistance OF al
subordinate Alliances in the State o.
South Carolina to demand of our State
Legislature, to enact such laws as VII
become necessary to establish a State
Fertilizer Manufactory, to be owned by
the State, and to be operated by the
Penitentiary convicts, all such eXpen'
ses so incurred to be paid from the
State Treasury, and that the produc'
of such mauufactory be apportloned tC
the tax payers of the State in propo:1
ton to the amount Of State taxes paic
by each, free of ali charge, except rail
road freight charges from manufactory
to tax PAYERS nearest railroad station
This resolution is published to bring
this important subject to the considers
ton Of every farmer III our State. me
cheapest and best way to obtain fertil
izers for enriching their farming land:
is of direct vital Importance to farmers
and to all others, who. lnalrecsly' ar'
All law should be the crystallizatior
of public sentiment or opinion: Thi:
Alliance would, therefore, like to heal
an expression of Alliancemen and
farmers, on the establishment of suct
an enterprise. Speak 1ut, II majority
Of citizens favor it-our State Legls
lature dare not refuse to grant our de-
mand. (. Il. u. BURNS,
