1t the first intention to have this
meeting at English's Opera House, but it
was found that this would not be large
enough, and the pace was changed to Tom
linson Hall. The list of speakers an
nounced includes some of the abest men
in the Democratic party, and there will
probably be a heavy demand for tickets of
admission. 1t is thought necessary TO make
the admission by ticket in order that the
strangers attending the convention may

It's Action as to Cotton
Ties.

The annual meeting Of the State
Alliance was held in Columbia last
week.
The committee on cotton ties made
it's report. which was unanimously
adopted and as follows:
"Whereas. the manufacturers and
wholesale dealers in cotton ties have
advanced prices of ties about 50 per
cent. over last seasons while the
market price Of steel only justifies an
advance Of ten per cent thus fur
nishng us with another evidence
that this is day Of trusts and com
bines against all producers; and
whereas, suitable wire can be had
at cost of II cents per bale against
% cents a bale for ties, thus effect
ing saving of 16 cente per bale on
the crop, which amounts to a saving
to this State alone Of Sl2S, 900 on
one years crop, Therefore, be it,
Resolved, That we ask all Alliance
men aud farmers interested in the
baling of cotton in this State aud
the cotton States to co operate with
us in breaking down this new formed
trust by placing their orders at once
for wire to be used instead Of ties
in baling the present crop OF cot

And your committee further recon
