One day last week some colored farmer,
sent their horses and mules, in charge OF
some little boys to be graxed, aud after graz.
ing them, tho little fellows concluded to run
horse race aud in making torn in the
road, mare belonging TO Quay Worthy, ran
agA,ps. the end Of heavy pole, and tore one
inches deep. and back eight inches between
the legs, and left it hanging. The rider was
| thrown, bad his collar. bone broken. and
knocked inscnsible. The pole or log was
heavy one, and was turned almost com.
plstely around, aud the place had the ap-
pesrance OF pen where hogs had been
| slaughtered.
Dr. E. C. Jetcr was ,lled in and set tho
broken bone, and dressed the wounds of the

There still comes to us, very frequently,
the cry that tho hard times, and very low
prices of farm products and other things 10
caused by the Alliance, ("the old Arliauce'')
This, 1t seems, is extensively told among the
oolored aud ignorant white people, by men
who are considered educated aud intelligent
farmers and others. We do not know
whether it is done through malice or sheer
ignorance. If the former We will treat
them with silent contempt. But We presume
1t is done through the latter; then we pity
their Ignorance. Poor ignorant creatures,
then We despisc their presumption, presum-
| ing they know so much Of things Of which
their knowledge extends no further than
their front yards. Isn't it surprising how
some intelligent people will lot thcr preju-
dice if it is not ignorance) blindly lead
them, so rs to cause them to work against
their own individual, and oountry's best
interest? IT. seems too, tho partisan nows-
papers generally forget there arc intelligent
people who read and digest other papers
than their own sheets, and are capable of
thinking for themselves. II may be, too, the
Alliance is the cause to certain extent, but
indirectly, for the present condition of
affairs, by the "goldbugs," speculators in
futures, mouey controllers, etc., contracting
currency, and doing everything else they
can to disbaud the Alliance, so they can
have things little more the way they wish.
But every blow they strike, or every obsta-
Gle they throw in their way, only acts As
sealing wax to bind them closer and closer,
There is no denying the Order has done u
great amount of good, not BY working sell
fshly for itself, but for every Legitimate
business in the who'e country. There are
many good eligible men and ladies outside
the order that could help greatly, and be .
power il in il, aud would let their minds
become unprejudiced. There are also good
men whose business and occupation debsrs
them from coming in, but who can heip and
be helped. The. Alliance would like the
sympathy and aid of these, but caunot sto,p
to 60 down on its knoes 10 beg for it. 1t
can't be laughed down, for it has learned
