THE LrNGrmENING LIST OF LANCASTER
ALLIANCES IN REVOLT AGAINST RAsCALIrY.
The following resolutions have been
adopted by sub. Alliances in Lanca.te: coun-
~, rcpudiating the boycolting of the Ian
caster Reriew by the county Alliance for con-
demning the misdceds Of Tillman's admins
tration. The first set express the opinions
of the Jacksonham Alliance.
Whereas, the County Alliance at it's last
meeting saw fit to depose the Lancaster Re-
piew as its county organ for a purely politi-
cal reason, alleging that it had gone back on
the Reform movement, which is an acknow-
lodged political movement, thereby disre
gariing the organic law of our order.
And, whereas, the reasons given is not
founded on facts, the Revicw having "riy
exercised its inherent right to critcse what
is regarded ~ unwise laws passed by the
Legislature be it therefore
Resoiccd lst. That the Jacksonham sub
Alliance does hereby enter its m st solemn
protest agaist the hagrant and unwarranted
violation Of our corsitution by the county
Alliance in the manner aforesaid.
2nd. That so far from censuring the edi-
tor Of the ReUjew for his editorial utterances
upon the action of the Legislature and the
pre-. ent condition of affairs in South Caro-
lima, which led to the Rcrjew's boycott by
tne county AlnutCS, VIC tdke pleaSune III

sincere and hearty appreciation and ap.
proval Of Editor Conuors course and con-
duct. He eminen,ly deserves our thanks.
and they are hereby rendered him for his
fearless and manly dcnunciation of what we
too, regard rs Infamous and cxtravagaut
legislation.
Bird. That in the judgment Of this Alii-
ancc the Reric,r has done its duty, and done
it well, in laying bare the emptiness :: ;e
so-ca,vI iteform" being handed down to
us now by the "powers that be'-so differ
cut in character and substance from the
promises male us when we espoused the
Reform movement: and that we regard it
rs an insult to our in diligence to be asked
to accept class legislation Of the rankest
kind-higher ttxcs, multip led offices, in
creased salaries, a : ate whiskcy monopoly,
the taking OF the peoples taxes to sustain n
newspaper in Columbia, in the place of the
real retrenchment and reform that We have
teen fighting for.
9TH. That the county papers AMI the Cot
ton Piont be requested to publish these reso-
lutions.

After an absence of many years the
writer took trip To fryeburg, hi.
native town, where more than one-half
century had been devoted "a tilling the
soil. while viewing the progress Of ag-
riculturc along the route, he Was forcibly
reminded Of the toilsome methods OF
farming when the old wooden plow and
STRAIGHTFORWARD harrow were the only
implements used to pulverife the soil.
The common scythe, the hand rake, aud
the ancient sickle, whose form had been
unchanged for 1910 year,, were the only
tools Invented 10 gather In the harvest.
These rude utensils made the work very
lsborious aud slow, so the farmer of
that period had no spare time for rest,
amussment, or education. The scanty
Income of our farms afforded only the
cheapest variety ~ food, while our raj
ment was insufficient to protect the
