Ohm ID. FROST viii 30 TO
plngkon this afternoon to take
4. the military appropriation that is
available for this State, and get the
South Carolina troops thoroughly
equipped and ready for an encamp-
ment.
Gen. Frost has high hopes of what
the militia will be able to do, and is
very much delighted with the sub.
stantial encouragement that is now
offered the State militia through the
Dick bill, which has just been en-
acted into law. Gen. Frost has a
number of applications for equip
ment, but he does not want to- dis
tribute any of the old style equip
ment, as he hopes soon to have the
new.
Some years ago the government
gave this State $4,000, which was
available for equipment. Until last
year the amount was increased to
$4,000, all lof which also has to be
used for equipment. Under the
Dick bill this State will get $73, 900,
which will be available for equip
ment and for general camp. One
reason Gen. Frost has for getting the
new equipment is that under the
terms of the Act the government will
not pay for military enoampment
until the militia els organized and
equipped according to army regula-
tions." This means that the militia
will first have to be equipped with
Krag-Jorgensen rifles and will have
to get the new dirt-colored uniforms
to take the place of the, blue.
Under the provisions of the bill
this State can swap it's present rifles
for the ag-Jorgensen. Gen. Frost
has 1890 Springfield rifles in the
hands of the State militia and ac-
counted for, which can be exchanged
for the new pattern of rifles. This
exchange can be made upon an even
basis and the swap will involve no
charge to the allowance of this State,
as Gen. Frost now understands the
law.
Gen. Frost does not know whether
he can accomplish a similar exchange
OF the uniforms, but if not he will
obtain supply of service uniforms,
which are to be charged at $3.50
each. Gen. Frost hopes to have the
militia equipped, 80 that the men can
go into a summer encampment, and
II they do, all expenses, under army
regulations, will be paid out of the
$73,0O allowance for this State.
There are now 3,3O8 men in the
militia service of the State, and Gen.
Frost expects to see that they are
thoroughly equipped and provided
for.

A Receiver for the Farmers, Alliance Fund.

Columbia, March 12.-The Farm
ers' Alliance fund has gotten into the
Courts. The Alliance Exchange has
about $4,000 on deposit and suit has
now been brought asking for the ap-
pointment of a receiver and the dis
tributioD of the fund among the in
diyidual members entitled toit. The
suit is brought in the name of I'll. E,
Brookshire, on behalf of himself, on
behalf of the stockholders of the
Cash Mill Sub-Alliance, and on be-
half of all other stockholders of the
"Farmers' Alliance Exchange of
South Carolina, limited" who will
come into this action and share the
expenses thereof. Plaintiff against
the Farmers Alliance Exchange of
South Carolina, limited: A. @. Lyles,
j. l.. Keitt, j. B. Douthit, j. #.
Ashe, S. Il. McKeown and o. P.
Goodwin; M. L. Donaldson and @.
j. Colt, on behalf of themselves and
all other creditors of said Farmers
Alliance Exchange, defendants.
The plaintiff is represented by
Lawyers James Werner and Bellin-
ger, Townsend and Haskell. Appli-
cation has been made to Judge Ern-
est Gary for the appointment of a
receiver, and he has fixed the 21st of
March as the time for hearing argu-
ments, if their be opposition to the
appointment of receiver, who to
marshal the assets and distribute the
fund, according to the direction of
the Court.
The complaint alleges that the AL
lance Exchange is not using the
money for the purposes for which the
fund was collected, and on that ac-
count the money should be returned
to those who paid it for fear of its
being dissipated.
The order is brief, but the COM
plant covers great deal of ground
and gives the history of the fund.
The court will also be asked to
hold the fund in its entirety, as the
directors of the Alliance, it is stated,
are not now using the fund for the
original purposes.
1t is further alleged that there are
debts or claims against the fund,
which ought to be met, and that
some decision should be had as to
the validity of these claims.
The case is likely to be interest
ing.

ereensilIe District aieihodIsis.

AS we have just closed a Presiding
Elder quadrennium- Rev. J. B. Will
son's-it may be interesting to some
of your readers TO have before them
9 concrete statement of what has
been accomplished during four years.
The district parsonage was relieved
fof debt of over seven hundred dol
lars and Brother Wilson left a smail
surplus in the district treasury. Our
membership has increased ten per
cent, while that of the Conference
only shows a six per cent. gain. In
matter of gain in membership Cokes-
bury leads, Greenville being close
second, these two districts having
furnished forty-two per cent. of the
net gain during the past four years.
Comparing the last year Of the preced-
ing four 1893 with 1902, which
closed Rev. J. b. Wilson's term we
find that the aPiedmont Brigade
have not toiled in vain. Salaries
have advanced fourteen per cent,
contributions to missions fifty-eight
per cent, payments onall Conference
assessments fifty-four per cent.
The last Session of Conference
made only q few changes in 1he
Greenyille District. The new men
are Revs. G. b. Smith, at Buncomb
Street, Greenville; T. b. Reynolds,
Pelzer; N. L. Prince, Townville, and
G. L. Harmon, Jr, West Greenville.
the last, however, are Greenville Dis.
trict men. Rev. G. B. Smith is no
stranger, having been the pannla,.
pastor of st. Johns, Al s,'
four years, in the early ',ye
have but one stranger ,,sss.
tor Of Pelzer. Our nos esiding
Elder is on familiar ground and
among old friends. He spraeticed law
in this Judicial Cireuit Sor Seventeen
years beforsssAf falieB tie Conference,
and was sas 8IsS Of the leading law
yers OF PHI Aeetion. He begins his
administratleh under most favorable
circumstap tapces. The outgoing Pre-
siding lder, Rev. J.. b. Wilson,
made good use of his four year term
and left the affairs of the ePiedmont"
District in excellent condition.
SO far as / know, with one excep-
ton, the pastors are pleased with
their charges and the people are
pleased with their pastors, SO we con-
fidently hope for successful year
