Of relief il we do rot get all, we VIII get
s,mcthiug from this agitation.
We want q currency not carried TO New
York and lot out from there, where few
men eau contract II and then expand it after
the products have passed from the bands of
the producers. How are we to get IL?
This is too broad 9 subject to tackle to-day.
Look at the condition Of affairs in WASH
ington-more than O hundred and f,rty
majority, aud the Democratic party para
lyzed, split into factions and quarreling with
one another. Here como in local ami diver
si6ed interests The Democrats Of MasSachu-
sets and Nebraska have rot the same intercsts
as the Democrats Of South Carolina. Whether
the country Is to be divided on lines of South
and West and North and East. don't know
Tho trend is in that direction. The
Northwestern men are saying to us "Come
over" but we, who ore confronted with the
Rep ablicau party determined to force negro
government upon us by force bill, have
got to stand by the Democratic party of the
North and East.
But am getting into politics, aud mus,
stop.
There cannot be any reasonable and just
antagonism between the Alliance and other
classes. Our interests are oil identical.
Unless the farmers prosper all go by the
| board. There is no antagonism except with
the bondholders and bankers Of the North
and East. There is no reason why we should
not oil hold together. There are divisions Of
sentiment in the Alliance itself as 10 tht
best ends. Many dispute about how to
reach q point but We should net fgb
because We may choose to 60 by different
reads. The third party, that was borr
lat Fall and was endorsed at st. Loui.
day before yesterday, has no considerable
following. If the .Qemoeratic rarity gIs
if the Northwest proves it's words by

fight for white supremacy and for home and

Notes From the Pea Ridge Capitol.

KgLroN, March THE farmers have
Teen at work with q vim and rush for the
last week or so. 1hers has been more work
done up to date sincs Christmas than was
done last year up 10 the middle Of April
The farmers seem to be ve,y cautious abour>
buying guano tbi, year, and they have c,uss
to be fearful.
Oats ars looking we'll; wheat is not 40
.promisipg. .bnt il has . good chance to make
good crop yetS
Mr.. r. g. iIauey says that heretosore he
has been trying to u, ak money. but now he
is going to work TO make good living. Mr..
Hany is preparing in the right way to carry
out his intentions by breaking, be iIing and
rebeddiug his land.
Uncle Wash Cault, as he Is generally
called is not much of a railroad man. lie is
now in his eightv-fourth year, and ntver
took ri dc on the care until few days ago,
when he took notion to visit some of his
Spar,auburg friends. He had an only
brother who lived t, be Is years oil and
never rode on n -ailroad; so you can see
that the old set cf that large and respectable
family Of Gaults were M glu'tons about r,i!-
roads, aud most Of The younger ones arc
ch; ps OF the old block.
Mr. J. E. Kelly and family is on q visit to
friends and relatives on Pea Ridge, and will
return to Spartanburg tomorrow.
NOW, Mt. Editor, you ssId 1 forgot the
tariff in my division Of profits; you further
said that it was the foreign goods that come
in competition With home manufactured
goods that had to pay the tariff. If that be
the case the home manufacturers ought to
sell homo manu- ufacturei goods rs cheap ~
foreign goods. If understand your Ian
guage, there is no t,r.f on home manufnc-
tured cotton cloth; but there is no use to
talk about such things SO long as we elect
men to make our laws who are more for
money than honor nnd the good of the peo-
pie. by the way. that makes me think of
the various pers mai notices that real in
different papers, saying honorable" so and
so was at certsin place ut certain time.
1t should read in many Of tho cases, honored
go and so, for there is many of them who
are ouly honorcd and not honorable.

NO. If we may judge from what the few
farmers we have talked with this week say
about the present condition aud prospects of
farming in this county, the farmers are at
least three weeks ahead of what they have
been the tro last years in their farm
work.
There is another hopeful outlook: They
have generally commenced new system of
farming, by reducing the acreage of the cot
ton crop at least 20 per ceut, and increasing
the acreage of be corn, wheat AMI oat crops
at least 20 per cent. Buying from one e-third,
to one e-half less guano than last year, trying
10 raise more hogs, and payiog more atten-
ton to the garden, the poultry yard and the
dairy. for home supplies,to reduce store
accounts.
Sincerely do We believe the short crop and
low price Of cot on last year will prove q
blessing in disguise to the people of this sec.
tion of our country.

Ex-Auditor Morgan's EXPLANATION,

Ex-Auditor Morgan's Explanation.
MIR. EDITOR: Please permit me through
the TIHEs to make brief explanation of the
investigation made Of the Auditors books,
at my request, conducted by Mr.. Leonard
Williams.
Treasurer Scott and Mr.. Williams both
fail in one particular, which will show ia
my statement, to exonorate and do justice
to me in the credits allowed by Auditor on
the nulta bona and non est executions, or
should have remained silent.
tbs charged that the Auditor gave the
Treasurer credit for the focal years 1867
1878, 1889, Of $69,70 more Than the
Treasurer was entitled to. Just at this point
expert Williams aud Treasurer Scott shoul ID
have stated why Auditor allowed the credit
of $69.7O; which was simply from the fact
that that amount was allowed by the Sheriff
and SO endorsed, as all the other credits
were, in the Sherif's own hand writing. and
il it was on error, should the Auditor be
made responsible, in face Of the fact that the
Sherif's endorsement is By law the Auditors
guide?
The Auditor is charged with not adding
so per cent pena'ty Oh delinquen. tax
returns, an in almost the same breath the
expert says the Auditor knep nothing Of IL
until paid, and reported by the Treasurer.
Thep, hoy, ask, could he att,ch the
penslty2
Lastly, 1t is charged that the Auditor
failed to furnish an abstract Of the additional
list at the proper time; which the Auditor
admits is correct, but claims that the delay
was caused by pro!ractcd spell ofsickness.
Those arc the "6udings' or charges against
me, nfier close three weeks investigation
of the books aud papers of the Auditors s
office, for six years wek Of the auditor al
Of which I win more fully explain at ne
proper time.
This brief stateWent most respectfully
submit to tho tax payers or Union (dauty,
with no i'll viii to any ono in the matter.
Wy 500 object Is TO exonorats myself from
the errors and mistakes Of others.
Respectfully,

No Treasurer Yet.

No Treasurer Yet.
Soon after cur paper was issued last week
We learned that Mr.. T. X. Palmer had de-
clned the office Of County Treasurer, offered
him BY Gov. Tillmau, in consequence of dis
covering that it would be, 10 him, a position
involving much hard work and q great
financial responsibility, but very lille pay.
We cannot blame Mr.. Palmer, but 1t places
the County in a very crippled condition. The
School Teachers and the schools are suffer-
ing for the money due them, the inu ates Of
the Poor House will soon be cut down to
half or quarter rsIions, and oil other. credit
ors of tho County are becoming mere than
anxious about when the County will be in
funds. In the meantime the County credit
is declining many points every day. The
only people who don't care "a continental" !"
are those who have not paid their taxes, and
hold no claims against the County. OF
course they are more interested in keeping
the Treasurer's office closed than having it
reopened.
