THE FARMER: SEPTEMBER ~. 1901.

stead of the bear, we had a juggler
with patent medicine with which to
nauseate our stOmachs; and because a
good old farmer happened to disturb
this gentleman in his anticks and
monkey shines, our town marshal ran
across the street, seized him and started
with him to a loathsOme jail. How
ever, he got a hearing before the
mayor, paid his fine and was released.
You a disturb a meeting of the
Alliance as much as you please, but
you must let alone a bear or monkey.
Now [ will make this assertion: that
if half dozen of our boys in town had
been yelling at once, or making the
night hideOus with their unearthly
sounds, our marshall would nave been
deafer to it than Baalm's ass. We
think we will hold Jul meetings here
after in the country.
Col. Long alluded to a previous dis
turbance of Ben Terrell with the bear
show.
We thought we had employed the
WilkesbOrO band to make music for
us, but we were mistaken. We asked
the captain what they charged, and he
said whatever was right. When the
time arrived he said we had not pre-
scented any purse and the band was
scattered. We certainly expected to
pay them, but in the opinion of a great
many the farmers have no ear for
music. If it had been for some pOliti-
cal harrangue or associated press, they
would have played for nothing. We
will make some music for them yet
that will fall upon their ears like a
crash Of an valanche. CIvIS.

RESOLUTIONS FROM SOUTH
CAROLINA.
kELTON. s. C.

hELTON, >. =.
At a regular meeting of the KeltOn
Farmers Alliance, No. I49, the coward
" action of Senator Butler in evading
a discussion of the Sub-Treasury plan
and his stigmatizing the members of
the Farmers Alliance as a set of
thieves and scOundrels, they would
borrow money at 2 per cent. vas duly
considered and the following resOlu-
tiOns unanimously adopted:
ReSOirer, That in u opinion the
speech Of Senator Butler, at Prosperity
on the goth Of July, was a ~cOwardly
evadsion of a fair discussion Of the Sub
Treasury plan on it's merits.
ID. That the imputatiOn that the
1000 AllianCemen of South Carolina
are a set Of thieves and sCOundrels be
cause they would borrow money at
the rate of 2 per cent, is an insult to
every honest citizen Of the State, and
that we hurl the imputation back in
his teeth, promising him that we will
attend to him at the next senatorial
election Of South Carolina.
Sd. That the speech of Congressman
Geo. D. Tillman, at Parkville, on Aug.
9th, in which he characterized Senator
PETER. of Kansas, as an ex-chicken
thief and hater of Southern men, is
also condemned, and that we c~ongratu-
late the people of Kansas and the
country at large upon the election of
such an able, patriotic and courageous
champion of the people as Senator
PETER.
4th, That we assure the brethren of
Kansas that the abuse and vilifcation
by such men as Tillman, Butler, Oates
and other demagogues is but the expir-
ing spasms of politicians who have
misrepresented us in the halls of Con
gress and upon the stump.
