It's only unfortunate that the

Upon receipt ofthe committees
notice, Mr.. Crews made a state

of his editorial policy. The fol

not of members who belong to
the political faction known as

to do SO. These differences be.
tween the committee and Mr..
Crews have gotten into the pub,
lie prints and are familiar to YOU.
Your committee regret the pre-
sent condition of this affair. When
they allowed the paper to 90 to
Laurens it was in good shape, and
the committee had every reason
to hope that Mr. Crews would
make success of the paper.
Your committee have no plans
to suggest until they hear the
wishes of the alliance, and we
would be more than glad to be
relieved of this burden, still we
stand ready to act with the alli-
ance in doing what is for the best
interest, in your better Judgment,
as to what will be most benef
cial for the paper and the alliance
organization.
We ask that this matter be
fully discussed so that the com
mittee You may elect will be fully
instructed as to your wishes.
The paper has now between p
800 and 5000 subscribers, and
our only Indebtedness is $117,OO.

lance to assist us in making this
paper Il power for good in ad-
vancing the principles of our or

what it should have, 5000 farm

no trouble in making a contract

such a statement. 1t is not true
that the alliance in this State
is composed entirely of Reform
ers. The president Of the New
berry county alliance, who was
reelected by unanimous vote
at the last county meeting has
always been member of the
Conservative faction. At one
time there were large numbe"
of Conservatives in the alliance,
many OF them valuable members.
Some withdrew on account of
local domination of Just such
mistaken and unconstitutional
iactlonal doctrine as overpowered
the editor of The Cotton Plant.
The alliance regards its members
from the standpoint of the citi
zen and not the partisan. Equali
ty is the basis and unity the
watchword of membership. The
scope of its work is encircled bv
patriotic purposes. The pioneers
OF the organization clearly fore
saw the danger to all efforts
prompted by patriotic motives
that would arise from discordant
allusions to party affiliations and
stringent prohibition against
any utterance in the educational
work, or in the alliance, that

In a strictly non partisan spirit.

Hon. Jos. keitt, President of the
State Farmers Alliance of South
Carolina
Dear Sir: We, the publishing
committee OF The Cotton Plant.
beg leave to submit to You for
presentation TO the animal State
Alliance meeting, this our annual
report of the management of the
printing of The Cotton Plant for
the past year.
At the last session of the State
Alliance the committee had a
contract with Mr.. j. II. CAN'T for
for the printing of the paper.
which contract expired March 1st,
1897. At this time Mr.. CAN'T
notified the committee that he
was not willing to continue the
publication OF the paper on the
terms offered by the committee.
At this time several prominent
Alliance members from the coun.
ty of Laurens asked the commit
tee if they would allow The Cot
ton Plant to be moved 10 their
county and they recommended
Mr.. W. /. Crews as suitable
man to print the paper
Mr.. Crews came TO Columbia
and the committee entered into
the following written contract
with Mr. Crews. This contract
has already been printed
Before The Cotton Plant had
been in Mr.. Crews hands month
he had drawn on us for more
money than we had agreed to pay
him, which impressed the com
mittee with the fact that Mr..
Crews could not carry out his con
tract. While the committee
were discussing the matter with
MIR. Crews he began in his editor

Plant to criticisc and denounce
certain men in the State in a
very partisan manner. Immo-
diately the committee requested
him to discontinue these person

Floods and Tornado Do Enormous
Damage.
Reports OF damage and loss OF life by O
storm that was general come from parts Of
North Dakota, Iowa, Minnesota and Wis
cousin. It had its origin In the Lake
Superior region.
The total loss OF life Is hard to estimate,
however, as conflicting stories keep coming
in. SO far as known fully twenty-five
lives have been lost.
The damage to property cannot be esti-
mated, but It will undoubtedly be consider
ably over 81, 000, 900. Reports received
from towns along the st. Paul and Duluth
Railroad stated that all streams were rising.
The tornado swept through Aiken
County, Minnesota; cutting q swath through
the woods, leveling the trees and every
thing else in its path. It struck the town
Of Glenwood, and several people were killed
there. The list Of dead at that place so far
as known Is as follows: Toliff Lavan, Anna
Morrow, eight years old; Mrs. Samuel Nor
row, Samuel Morrow, Oswald Morrow,
William Norris and wife were also reported
killed. A ~one-year-old baby had q leg and
arm broken.
Two men, William Sargent and Charles

buried under the cars. The train ran into
a washout and was. ditched, twenty cars

A LAD FALLS 1900 FEET.
He Went Up With p Balloon Clutching Q
Sandbag and Met His Death.


An adventuresome six-year-old boy In
Oakland, Cal, lost his life through his de-.
sire to go up in a balloon. Charles Conlon,
an amateur a%eronaut, was advertised to as
cend in q hot-air balloon at Blair's Park
and descend by a parachute. He had only
a trapcze bar from which his parachute
was slung. On the side of the balloon were
several sandbags suspended by cords.
Young Bertrand Hill, a son of Chauncey
Hill. a Los Angeles architect, saw the in
fating of the balloon and other prepara-
ton. No one noticed the boy in the hurry
n excitement of cutting loose the ropes;
but the crowd was Mortified, as soon as the
balloon rose clear of the earth, to see a lit
tie boy clutching one Of the sane bags. He
was fully thirty-flve feet above the aeron-
aut, and there was no way of reaching him.
Apparently he shouted to the child to
hold tight, but it was plain the little fellow
was getting bewildered and dizzy. Groans
OF horror came from the men and screams
from the women and children as, when the
balloon had reached a height of about 1900
feet, the child was seen to fall.
Women tainted and men wept as the body
whirling down.. 1t struck nearly a
mile from the park. It is believed the
boy was dead before the body struck the
ground.

DRUGS BEFORE DUTY
russian Soldiers Adopt strange Means
to Escape Military Service.

nub6I0u 6OAuiotD ANoPs
to Escape Military Service.
Advices from st. Petersburg give the de-
tails Of q novel method Of escaping COM
pulsory military service. It has long been
known that the Russian peasant conscrtpts
nave practiced self-mutilation In order to
svade serving the Gar as soldiers, but IN 9
trial that has just ended it was shown that
several military officers entered into q
scheme whereby they secured the release OF
recruits after they had entered the ranks
in return for the payment Of money.
These officers arranged with young doc
tors in the service to administer drugs to
the men who had paid the sums demand
I'D for their release, with the result that the
men would soon display symptoms OF sert.
Gus heart trouble. They would then apply
to the chief doctor, Who, after examination.
would give certificates which would cad the
military careers Of the young soldiers. Ths
latter would return to their homes, where
they would recover their health with re-
%markable celebrity.
The authorities learned OF the scheme
from papers left by one Of tho conspirators,
who committed suicide. The accused OFF,
GERS we're found guilty and condemned to
TWO years service with the disciplinary bat
talions, which is tantamount to a death
sentence.
