Miss Mary Nj. Russell, now of Columbia,
is visiting friends at Carlisle, and was at the
Presbyterian church here Sunday. where
had the pleasure of talking with her short
while, aud was real glad of the opportunity,
as am always glad to see my first and only
school teacher.
Mr.. W. W. Bruce, the popular principal
of the school here left for Columbia last
week, having Obtained the appointment Of
Assistant Adjutant and Inspector General,
and his friends congratulate him on his sue

There is some visiting being contem-

wrong "face" 10 part of my last article
| that l wish 10 correct. In speaking Of the
| Farmers trust, that has some agitation, TO
CONTROL the price Of cotton somewhat,
said that the farmers alliance sprung some
thing similar TO this several years ago." and
| the print made me to say "spruug from"
etc. Now the Alliance did not spring from
that, but it did try 10 get on foot scheme
| to control the cotton, our product, TO hold
cotton in some way, to put it on the m,rket
systematically TO get and retain good and
uniform prices, but it could not get suffi-
cient follow:nu from the outside. Trying 10
control prices Of farm products is the matter
of the great bug.a-bo, the Sub Treasury CT
something better. The Farmers Alliance
has not given up in despair yet; and why
wont farmers help j. ou:, as it cannot teue-
6t itself unless it benefits other working
people, as their interests are all ilentic'e.
| he election here passed off quietly.
There was no drunkenness or rowdyism.
Independeniism received black eye, and
q strong vote was Polled for a Constitutional
Convention. A large number of negroes
were present, and many voted, but quietly,
some whites voted with the negroes, and
some negroes voted with the whites, and
some would not vote at all, although pressed
by Independents aud Radical leaders.
There were no bids from the regular Dem
ocracy.
