With two candidates from Laurens

thanks to friends who have given nae
words of cheer, and assure them that I
look to the future for an opportunity to
prove to them that I merit the C
agement that I have received.

LISBON ALLIANCE.

ED. ADvERTIsER:-It becomes my
duty TO send you this week the action
OF our Alliance In regard TO the Cotton
Tie Trust. 1t Is also a pleasure for me
to know that the farmers have to their
| backs all four of the newspapers pub
Ished In the county, who are not only
willing to herald forth our defense for
cooperation to the brethren, but will
spare no effort IN their part to defend
the yeomanry of our country against
| such oppression as confronts them to-
day. We feel very kindly to the Cot
ton Plant for giving such timely sig
mails as this.
WHEREAS, cruel, un~relenting and
Oppressive warfare continues to be
waged by trusts, monopolies and COM
bines, and
WHEREAS, these repeated efforts on
the part of the enemies of agriculture
only ~signalize the hellish intentions of
those who have conspired together for
the sole purpose of robbing toll of its
rightful reward, and
WHEREAS, such eXtortion and UNI
blushing crimes are the outgrowth of
modern invention, and cruelties whose
combined influences have already
brought farmers to the very verge Of
bankruptcy and ruin, therefore, be it
Resolved, /. That we, the members
of Lisbon Farmers Alliance; denounce
and condemn all such unblushing frauds
as is being attempted on the part of the
Cotton Tie manufacturers to advance
the price Of their product nearly 100
per cent. beyond their intrinsic value,
as the most ~stupendous and reckless
disregard for fair and honest dealing
attempted since the gigantic specula-
tion attempted on the part of the Bag
cling Trust, and deserves the condemn
alton and resentment Of every honest
tiller Of the soil.
2. That we will use every legitimate
means, by personal and organized eff
fort, to defeat and destroy the object of
this mastadon of oppression, and here
by declare our intention not to buy or
use one single cotton tie sold at an adj
vance beyond the price charged the
last cotton season.
3. That we recommend the use of
every available substitute that can be
devised or invented to overcome and
defeat this dishonest combination Of
spoilsmen, whose sole object and pur-
pose is robbery and the subjugation of
the rights of the husbandman.

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications as they can
not reach the diseased portion OF
the ear There Is only one way to
cure deafness, and that Is by CON
stitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of
the mucous lining of the Eustach-
ian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have O rambling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when 1t
Is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of Deafness
Caused by catarrb) that cannot be

The Tents struck.

Tents were struck at Z o'clock on Sat
urday morning and the soldier laddieI
are by this time cultivating the swee
and delightful arts Of peace. Their stay
In the city was much enjoyed by oul
citizens. We trust that their experienc,
will be recalled as apleasant and proita
bic one. IL was indeed no child play
the officers giving the soldiers plenty o
hard work to do. There were four com
panies present-the Morgan Rifles, o.
Clifton, Lieut.. Byrd; the Pea Ridge Ri
fes, of Union. Capt. OTIS; Gary Watts
Guards. of Maddens, Capt. j. M. Dean
and the Laurens Guards, Capt Lockwood
Great zeal vas shown by the officers
and men and wonderful improvement
made In the short period Of one weeks
drill. The presence of Lieutenant Stokes,
Of the United States Army, a most &C.
complished young officer, added greatly
to the success of the encampment and
his presence in the city greatly enjoyed.
Lieutenant Stokes comes from West
Point, the National Military School and
he Is now stationed in this State. He is
a native of this State, Hampton county.
In case of wars rude alarms this dash
ing young officer will be heard
from. Lieutenants Guignard, Hagood,
Curwin were in camp assisting in the
exercises. They are all three just grad
uated from West Point, the two first
named Of Columbia, the last of New
York, and the guest of the first named.
On Friday last the companies were in
spected in front Of the Bendella Hotel
by Adiutant General Watts assisted by
Col. George S. McCravy, of the Gov
ernor's staff. In a short speech the Ad-
jutant General complimented the. SOL
diers upon their appearance and bearing.
In the company contest the Pea Ridge
Rifles had no easy victory over the de-
tachment representing the Morgan Ri
fes.
AT the Opera House on Friday night
the contest for the best drilled man in
the manual OF arms was severe and en-
joyed by a large audience. After a se-
we're struggle the victory wal awarded
and the laurel given to Sergeant Sonley,
OF Morgan Rifles, first, and Sergeant
Gait of Pea Ridge Rifles secoud. Lieu
tenant Stokes and Adjutant Norman,
of Clemson being judges. The visiting
officers and men desire to have ex-
pressed their appreciation to our citizens
for courtesea and attention. At the
conclusion of the drill on Friday evening
the prizes were delivered to the victore
by the Hon. l.. w. Simkins in suitably
eloquent expressions. The admirable
conduct of the two Laurens companies,
officers and men deserve the highest
commentator. With proper encour-
agement of the citizens they will do Gre
dit to the States uniform.

is a Splendid Name for q Tooth

brush to prevent your teeth from

q "preventive of disease.n With
every brush comes a neat little

there is q hole in the end of the
handle which enables you to hang
it up. The head will not touch the

COTTON SEED MEAL FOR Hoes
Noticing that cotton seed meal as feed
for hogs Is very generally condemned,
l will give my experience.
In the spring OF 1895, I commenced
feeding a lot Of young pigs with a ra-
tion OF one measure of cotton seed meal,
two OF corn, and four of wheat bran
we'll wet with water, and allowed to
stand twenty-four hours before using.
| then added enough more to make q
thin Cruel and fed it at once. On this
ration, with the run Of an orchard, I
never had pigs to do better. L am CIV
ing the same feed now.--M, in South
