Address 10 the Farmers OF South Carolina
Outline OF the Plan Agreed Upon.
[Tho State, September q. ]

At the recent annual meeting Of the
State Alliance committee was appointed
to take charge of the work Of reorganiz
ing the order in this State. This com
mittee has heretofore held several meet
ings and has done considerable prelimi-
nary work. Now the following address

issued
TO the Farmers of South Carolina: At
the State meeting of the Farmers ALI.
ance in Columbia it was decided to re-
organize the sub-Alliances in this State.
1t seems to bo the desire of all to have
the reorganization commence at once.
We woro appointed as q committee on
reorganization and have selected Hon. j.
9. Wilborn as State reorganizer, who
stands ready and willing to aid any
county toward reorganizing.
In order to carry on this great work 1t
is absolutely necessary that we have
funds. An attompt is being mado to
raise the funds by private subscription
and many have willingly contributed.
We neod all tho funds that can be ob.
tainod to push tho reorganization. w.
N. Elder is secretary and treasurer aud
will receive tho subscriptions.
While we see ovory Othor profession
united tho farmer is left disOrganized.
We can not stand idly by and see this
thing continue. Wo want n purely bust
ness organization. 1t must keep out OF
political wranglos, and strive to build up
tho home and to make the farm n source
of profit and pleasure. Wo must moot
combination with combination. We
must meet forco with force. We must
stand as unit against the illegal and
tyrannical combines that are always
ready to take advantage of tho individual
producer.
PLAN OF ORGANIZATION.
The past dues are cancelled. You car
become al Allianceman in good standing
by paying 50 cents for State and nationa
dues, and 25 cents as q reorganizing feo
IIonco, 80 cents will put an Alliancomal
in good standing. Brethren, got together
and DO ready to make steady and firm
stand against the enemy, the trusts ant
combines which arc already equipped tt
take yomr products at their pricc, also tt
soil you their products fixed at an arbi
trary prico. d. r. Efird,

Tuesday and its ability to put out
fire was tested on Thursday night
A board structure, 16xS feet and
16 feet high, was erected and filled
With barrels. boxes, paper, etc,
and then saturated with coal oil.
When the fire was well under way
and making Il fierce heat. the stream
OF water charged with c;lrbonic aci |
gas was turned on, and within t@o
minutes the flames were subdued
The stream passed through seventy
five feet Of hose, and the nozzle was
held about five feet from the fire.
The test was satisfactory, in so far
as the putting out of the fire was
concerned.-Star, North East.

A Case of Perjury.

In the Circuit Court for Hartford
county three cases out of thirteen
indictments found by the grand
jury against Jefferson Clayman, of
Bel Air, charged with violating the
local option law, have been tried in
court and verdict of not guilty
returned by the jury in each one.
The officers of the law claim that it
is almost impossible to oonvict the
violaters after being indicted by
the grand jury.
This is no new experience. The
testimony given before the grand
jury would always convict if it was
not withheld before the petit jury.
There is almost always perjury on
the part of the witness, and he
ought to be confronted with his
evidence before the grand jury,
indicted for perjury and punished.
That would put stop to lying by
witnesses to shield the speakeasy
keeper.
