luaSterly meeting Of the County Ali
ance was held in the court house to-day.
ThereWere q goodly number of dele
gates IN tendance and after the regu.
Elarroutineo business vas gone through
with, : ]. Andy Jones introduced the
following resolutions, which Rers
unanimously adopted
Be it resolved by this County All
ance now assembled
First. That the Allianeemen Of Lat.
rens County reassert their altegince TO-
the principles OF the. National ana State
Alliance and all thepIanksoftha oeala
platform and that q eandidate:whose
stomach is too weak tosWallow It need
not expect our supp
Second: That In State politics, as
members OF the Democratic party and
as believers in and as members of the
Reform movement Of that party, Ne
approve of the calling Of convention
to name candidates who are In accerd
with it to be voted for in the geparai
primary election, but we insist as e
matter of right that that convention
should not be held sooner than the lst
Of July Of this year,9or the reason that
we want to see and hear the sentiments
of the candidates among the Reformers.
To do otherwise is forestalling the peo-
pie and re-enacting the tricks of the
ring that controlled this State SO long,
to wit: the naming Of caadidates who
are unknown to the masses Of this
State and in whose candidacy they
have not participated
Third. We hold ourselves bound TO
support the nominees Of the July con-
yention in the primary election in
September, but we demand that simon
pure Reformers be named, men against
whom naught team bezsaid as to their
loyalty to truth TO the a Alliance and 30
the Reform movement. 49,
Fourth. That great care must be
used, both in caliing and holding the
township and eonnt primary conEen-
tons to osend delegates to the said State
July convention, and we recommend
that Governor Tiliman select three
Reformers who will act with him and
draft rules for the calling and holding
Of said township and county primary
conventions so that none but Reformers
will participate in the election Of dele
gates to the July State convention and
that the four gentlemen referred to-
above call the said July convention II
such be the sentiments OF the Reform
movement.
Fifth. That NE further suggest that
in the naming Of candidates from
United States Senator to Adjutant and
Inspector General the convention
shall not ignore that element in the
Reform faction who are non-Ailiance-
men and ineligible to membership in
the Alliance, but VINO are true tofhe
principles Of the Alliance and the Re
form faction. 80 -
Sixth. That the LaurensViAe Herald
The Columbia Daily Register, The Cot
ton Plant, The Piedmont Headlight
and other Reform papers Ia the State
are requested TO publish these resolu-
tions.
Brother O. g. Thompson offered tho
following resolutions, which were also
unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That this County Alliance
condemns the course ofthe anti-Reform
leaders and newspapers in South Caro-
Ina for their factious and criminal op-
position to the Dispensary law. That
we condemn the said leaders and news
papers for their pernicious teachings,
and that we hold them responsible for
the recent violence and disgracefu1 re-
sistance to the Law in various localitiea
in the State, and especially for the re-s
cent trouble in Spartanburg, whereby
an unfortunate negro lost his life and
whereby white fellow citizen and an
officer under the State government IN
the discharge Of his duty was shot
down, and now lies dangerously
ed, and still another officer was set
upon, beaten and placed in peril OF his
life by a mob Of brutal negroes, being
encouraged thereto by white men.
Second. That this Alliance endorses q
the course of Governor HlIman in his
efforts to enforce the law and that we
hereby pledge ourselves to cooperate
with our brethren of the Alliance and
the Reform movement and all friends
of law and order in giving aid and en-
couragement to all officers IN their
efforts to enforce the law and preserve
the peace in South Carolina.
