sion in Columbia. There was full at
tendonce Of delegates from all parts OF
the State. Among the notables there
were Congressman Stokes, NJ. L. Dom
aldson, j. C. Wilson, J.D. NJ. Shaw and
many others.
The annual report of Col. Duncan,
manager of the Alliance Exchanges,
dealt fully with the fight the Alliance 10
making on the cotton tie trust and
showed that the cash business OF the
exchange for the year past amounted TO-
1863, 1913. Al, the total expense of con-
ducting the same being only per cent

nual address. It was full of Alliance
doctrine, and the matter Of the publicar
ton of the Cotton Plant was thoroughly
dealt with, and about the 1st Of Sep
tember Mr.. Crews will have step down
and out of the editorship. A member
of the Alliance, in speaking Of the mat
ter, according to the Register, said
that the condemnation OF the editor N
his course did not mean that the Allt-
ance endorsed the candidates he might
be fighting. but on the contrary 1t was
done to emphasize the remark OF the
president that the Alliance was to be
conducted on q nonpartisan basis.
The following resolution was unani-
mously adopted:
Resolved, That the proposition Of
the railroads to increase the freight
rate on cotton seed would be detri-
mental to the interests of the farmers,
and an additional tax upon our indus
try; that we ask the railroad commits
sion do not grant the request Of the
railroads; and, further, that we en-,
dorse the action Of the railroad conmis-
sion in reducing the rate on fertilizers
and other commodities.
A resolution was introduced and
adopted, heartily endorsing Congress
man Stokes measure In Congress IN
reference to the reduction OF salaries Of
United States officials. -

To Make a Good Cup of Tea.

Have good tea to begin with; then
be sure that you have freshly drawn
pure and filtered water of which to
make the beverage. The water must
not have been standing for hours ex-
posed to the weather nor simmering
on the range. 1t must be fresh, and
then, if you have brisk fire or the hot
fame of a spirit lamp, bring it quickly
to the boil. A hat-bottomed kettle Is
to be preferred, as it has broad sur
face 10 expose to the heat, and the boil
ing il soon accomplished. Water is
boiling when it bubbles and the steam
comes in white puffs from the spout of
the kettle. It does not boil when it
begins to simmer and sing-that is
only the sign that it is near to boiling.
You must make your tea when the
water has just boiled. A kettle which
has been standing on the back Of
stove all day, filed up now and then
by dipper or two more OF water, will
not make good tea. You must boil
the water OH purpose.
An earthen pot is better for tea than
metal one. Pour little boiling
water in the pot to heat it, and after a
minute or two pour it out. Now put a
teaspoonful of tea for every cup of hot
water-an even, not heaping, spoon
ful-and add an extra one for the pot.
Pour on as much water as will fill the
number OF cups you wish to make.
Let it stand two minute, then with a
long-handled spoon stir the leaves
once through the water and instantly
cover the pot again. Three minutes
more and your tea is done. Never let
tea steep or boil or stand long time.
It is quick, neat, nice process from
beginning to end.-New York Journal.

A THREE CENT FARE.

Among the promises made by May
or CaIlaghan before theselection was
that he would bring the street railway
companies to terms and force a three
cent fare. The Indiana legislature re-
Gently fixed the maximum street rail-
way fare at three cents. The COM
panies in indianapolis resisted and an
injunction suit is pending before the
L. S. court. Passengers refused to
pay a nickel, the companies refused to
take three cents, passengers were ejeC-
ted by the hundred and several small
sized riots occurred. Mr.. Callaghan
has not said anything about the three
cent fare since the election, and we
only want to remind him of it, and al
so that he may expect a lively scrim-
mage when he opens the ball. Should
the courts hold good the laws regula-
ting franchises the three-cent fare will
become an issue.

WE WANT NO BOOM.

San Antonio does not want boom.
We want steady prosperity. Within
the next year our city will experience
a decided change in business pros
poets. The wide west is becoming alive
to the new impulse given our stock
industry by the Inauguration of Re-
publican administration. Good pas
lures we'll stocked with cattle and
sheep, means millions to our city. An
era of prosperity is certainly in sight.
But we want no boom. Booms don't
last and have behind them marked de-
preston. We all feel the change from
a day of revelry, of visiting thousands
to the day after the feast.
We are not likely to have any boom
in real esctate for the present, because
of the tax question, but with in
creased business prosperity, real estate
will become marketable and rents
higher. There is a bright day ahead
for our city.

A BIKE COURSE.
news.

A suggestion is made that bicycle
course be laid out by the city. If the
old bitches were closed their sinuous
course between fine old trees would be
a great scheme. But it Is not likely
that the irrigating bitches will be
closed, out in a hurry. The time is
coming when the development by well
irrigation of the city will do away with
the irrigating of lands in the city limits
which are too valuable to be used for
such purposes. A distinct bicycle
course might be laid out along the
streets, cutting to the north end of
the town then along the hill side to the
east, then over by the missions and
back along the western limits. Our
city is lacking a good carriage drive
free from street railway. A clean car
riage drive would help the cyclers out.

GLYNN AND WARD DRAW.

DID VERY LITTLE FIGHTING IN
THE GO AT BALTIMORE LAST
NIGHT.
The fight between John Glynn, Of
Wilmington, and Jack Ward, of
Newark, n. j., before the Eureka Ath-
letic Club, in Baltimore, last night, was
not at all up to expectations. In the
first place there was very heavy
storm and the attendance was only
about BOG. Then it was claimed that
Glynu was overweight Fer that rea-
son che bout was cut down to fifteen
rounds.
Ward is to meet Jimmy" Barry for
a purse OF 81 800 on Monday night, and
It was evident that he was saving him
self Tor that match. As a consequence
there was too little fighting to please
the spectators
II would be impossible to decide on
the relative merits of the
men from the exhibition of
last night Though Clynn sew
eral times essayed an offensive role
Ward contented himself by remaining
on the defensive. There were not five
blows struck in the entire fight that
could have hurt either man had they
been permitted to land with full force
