PendletOn Items.

A large crowd has been in town to-day
attending the Baptist Aes esoriation which ls
in progress here at the Baptist Church
Much business hss been transacted and
several good talks have been given by the
visiting ministers.
The Pendleton baseball team nave
played numbe of games during the past
we.k with more or less success.
Pendleton is beginning to "yawn" for
the opening Of the dispensary and 1t is
thought that it would have been estab
liahed here before this bad not some par
ties tahen the matter in hand and opposed
it An election was held and every vote
oaat waa in favor it.
Major A. T. Smythe and family are here

Well, Mr.. State Detective Newbold,
how many blind tigers have you captur-
ed since the opening of the campaign?
The people are taxed to protect the dis.
pensary aud part of that money goes to
provide bodyguard for John Gary
Evans, Governor of South Carolina, by
the grace Off, r. Tillman. Barney has
loft the meetings to write insurance on
the dispensaries and Newbold goes along
to keep any body from hurting Barrey's
brother. We believe all classes of people
in this State will condemn this course. A
man who fears bodily harm is no fit per-
son to be Governor ofauy State.

There is nothing left now to be dore
but to call off the campaign meetings al
together. The trouble at Florence could
hardly be helped. No gentleman is going
to let man insult him on the stump,
and many others would have done just
as Earle did. TIE whole business is dis
gusting. South Carolina has received
enough black names without the Cover
nor of the State trying to make the re-
cord worse than it really is. The entire
State would rejoice if the campaign meet
ings were stopped, and an end be put to
such disgraceful scenes. Watts and
Richbourg are still singing mud and
making idiots of themselves before the
people. It would be good thing for all
parties concerned if they would get on
another glorious drunk and remain so
until after the election. We would like
very much to see Watts and Rict oourg
both defeated; such conduct as theirs can
not be swallowed by decent people.
Would that there was another man In the
race.

A Fight to the Finish.
Columbia State, ,JatIy "a,

The second days session Of the State
Farmers Alliance waa held yesterday
and everything was pushed along 80 thai
q final adjournment wss reached by 2 p.
%. The most inn portant action taken was
in regard to the fight against the cotton
tie trust. The South Carolina Alliance
has, as expected, taken tho initiative in q
big fight which will doubtless spread
rapidly throughout the cotton belt.
While, owing to the fact that it is me-
ceBsary to keep the Alliance free from
politics, no direct endorsement was given
the National Democratic ticket. q reHolu.
tion was adopted endorsing the address
of President Keitt, in which be thorough.
ly endorsed Bryan and Sewall. No en-
dorsement could have been stronger. A
leading member of the. Alliance etated
that every man in attendance was for the
ticket OF the National Democracy, and he
did not know OF single exception.
The mem bers all left for their homes on
the evening trains.
When the Alliance met at 10 o'clock
yesterday morning and the usual opening
exercises had been held, the annual cleo
tion Of officers took place. Mr.. Joseph
L. Keltt was unanimously reelected
president, Hon J. G. Wilborn Was re-
elected vice president and State Lecturer
J. W. Reid was unanimously reelected
secretary and treasurer. DR.. j. L. Shuler
Of Lexington, was elected member ct
the executive committee to succeed e. r
Walter, Of Orsngeburg, who declined re-.
election on account Of his health.
President Keitr was elected delegate to
the National Alliance.
The special com mittee appointed at the
opening session to look into the matter OF
the fight against the cotton sidfrust sub
mitted the following report which was
unanimously adopted: 5s-?fii.:,i. 49,
Whereas, the manufacturefsand whole
sale dealers in cotton ties have advanced
prices of ties about IS per cent. over last
seasons, while the market price Of stesl
only justifies an advance of 10 per cent,
thus furnishing US with another evidence
that this is day Of trusts and combines
against all proo ucers ; and,
Whereas, suitable wire can be had at
q cost of IL cents per bale. against d cents
per bale fer ties, thus affecting saving OF
l6 cents per bale on the crop which
amounts to saving to this State alone OF
$l2S, 900 on one years crop therefore, be 1t
Resolved. That we ask all alliancemeD
and farmers interested in the bailing OF
cotton in this State and the cotton States
to cooperate with ua in breaking down
this new formed trust by placing their
orders at once for wire, to be used instead
of ties in bailing the present crop of cot
ton.
And your committee further recon-
mend that our State business agent be re-
quested to at once obtain information as
to the supply and cost Of using this wire
as substitute for iron ties and report to
all sub. Alliances and that our ageut also
be directed to correspond with the agencies
of the other Southern States.

The Chronicle, New York insurance
publication, prints some interesting sta
tistics with regard 10 fires and fire losses
for the year 1895. There were $4,000 fires
during the year, involving losses to the
extent of $l42,110,O30. OF this amount
the insurance loss was SSa,69s,0sO. With
the exception of the years 1891, 1892 and
1898, the losses OF 1892 were greater than
those Of any year since 1875. The great
estilosses by fire since the first mentio n
ed year were suffered in 1873, when the
amount reached upwards OF Sl67, 500. OO0.
During last year the records show that
about G. per cent. of the property des-
troyed was covered by insurance.

The rate war between the Seaboard and
Southern is going to play havoc with ev.
cry class of business and will eventually
put the roads in the hands of receivers.
A cut of so per cent has been made in
freight rates from the North, which goes
Into effect August 1st. When the rates
are put back to their old stand, which is
sure to follow, the persons who have to
pay freight will be taxed to make up for
the loss sustained by the roads during
the times of slashing. 1t is better to have
uniform rate and stick to it.
