Then there wcie five members, to day there are many times that num ber ; then the success of the Sub-Al liance was a problem, indeed it were not too much to say that the success of the order itself was a problem. To day all doubt has been removed. Summer Hill Sub-Alliance is a power in the community, and the Alliance order is a power in the land. The farmers have learned the benefit of cooperation and they are so much pleased with the good they have done for themselves, that they are deter mined to carry forward the work that has been so well begun. The members of Summer Hill Alliance determined to celebrate the anniversary of its organization in a fitting manner. A splendid dinner was to be provided, to supply the wants of the inner man, an Col. I* F. Livingston, president of the State Al liance, and one of the best speakers from flic hustings, in the state, was invited to furnisn mental pabulum for tlm crowd that assembled. This was loo tempting an array of good things to he allowed to escape the appetite of the reporter, physical and otherwise, and when, therefore, the morning of the expected day came, he took the sole remaining member of the sole remaining alliance lie lias ever made, and behind a good horse started for Summer Hill, 12 miles from town, and the pleasures of the day. The rain nl the day before bad lent its cooling influences to the atmosphere, and soft fleecy clouds hid what might otherwise, linvc been the too ardent rays of the sun. The drive to Summer Hill is one of the most pleasant in the county; it leads past prosperous farms und cosy country homes that wear on their face nn air of peaceful content that one seeks in vain amid the bustle and confusion of towns and cities. The crops arc good almost ns a rule, und only in a few eases could it lie said that the dread enemy of the farm er, the grass, was in the ascendancy. In the few isolated cases seen, sturdy efforts were being made to overthrow the enemy. A few minutes after JO o’clock the ground was reached, a beautiful and extensive oak grove in front of the res idence of Mr. Joe M. Massey. A ros trum had been raised for the speaker, which was tastefully decorated with flowers; huge stalks n! corn in full silk and tassel stood at the front mi ners of the rostrum and a Kolb Gem melon of goodly proportions was on the speaker’s table. A little before 11 o’clock, (’id. Liv-1 state ingston appeared on the stage; lie was j only introduced to the audience by Mr. A. W. Ivey, president of the County Al liance, in a few well chosen remarks. Col. Livingston has a face that would attract attention anywhere; thin brown hair, intermingled with gray, down, and its members realized that any order that sought success by such means must fail. The fact that the farmers of the country needed some measure of relief was universally con ceded. Carlisle, Cleveland, Wanna maker and even President Harrison ackuowldged the need. Mr. Carlisle had said that every decade saw fre- burdens placed on the farmers of the country. This was true, and to rid the fanners of these burdens was the mission of the Alliance order. That men everywhere acknowledged that farmers were oppressed proved that they needed relief as a class, since their troubles were in no sense the result of local conditions. They havi been hewers of wood and drawers of water for others, since 187o, and i they stood their ills longer, they would be natural born fool-. In ten years more they would hav been in the condition of the farmer of Kansas, nine-tenths of whose prop erties was under mortgage to foreign loan associations. After having been before the country three years, the Alliance Order was willing to stand or fall by the rule Christ had given when he said “By their fruits ye shall know them.” The first thing the order had done was to teach its mem hers to read and think, and as ignor anec was the heaviest tax that any people could hear its efforts in this di rection had borne good fruit. Then the Alliance taught its members not to buy anything they could not pay for, and beside teaching them economy in expenditure, bad also taught econ omy in time, that it was unwise to waste time on unremunerativo labor. As an evidence thnt its teachings in this direction had not been in vain, ironclad notes were not as plentiful as formerly. As an evidence of the good that cooperation done the farm ers, the speaker said that the order bad held up the price of cotton last season, and would do it again, tlm placing money in the pockets of the farmers of the south. Tlier. too they had bought goods cheaper, so that the rule worked two ways. Wait two more years, said the speaker, and no man that tills his own land in our grand old state will be in debt. Suc cess had come, for whereas the order had first started, predictions of failure were plentiful, the order now com manded the attention, respect and in some eases the fear of the outside world. To illustrate the change since the war, the speaker gave some sta tistics which showed that while in 18fi0 70 per cent, of the property in the state was owned by the farmers, and 08 per cent, of the people of the owned their own homes, now 7 per cent, of the property of -he"state is owned by the tillers of the soil, and only 01 per cent, of 'un people live in their own homes, and the same is true of all the other states. A had financial system and a wrong adjustment of the burden of taxation another danger approaching, an era when the people shall stand arrayed against the capitalists of the country, an era of corruption in high places.” Has it not come asked the speaker? What secured Waunamaker a place in the cabinet hut hoodie. What beat Cleveland hut money? Does not Harrison know that he is president by the grace of coin well spent? .’11,000 men own three-fifths of the property of the country, and these men fix the taxes tmd frame the policy of the government. Calhoun had said forty years ago, why force tho people to support the credit of. the nation, and then pay the taxes of the nation, and allow money to go scot free. Jefferson said in the early days of the republic, that Winding was rob biug the people on a magnificent scale. Col. Livingston then elaborated at some length the sub-treasury scheme and answered the objections that have been made against it. It will not, he said, turn loose an army of republican office holders on the south, for the managers will he elected by the people where the warehouses arc located. It will not, ho said, give speculators an opportunity to corner the markets, for the receipts from the government will he iron-negotiable and non trans ferable. I f you oppose the sub-treasury scheme, offer us something better, for you must admit the necessity of a change, said the speaker. The entire speech ofCol. Livingston made a fine impression on the audi ence; lie is thoroughly ill earnest and his earnestness is contagious. After lie had concluded, dinner was announced, and it was a good one. Bountiful in supply and Excellent in quality. In the afternoon," Mr. Copeland, agent for tho AlliajiuyiiFarmer, made sh off Talk'; after "He"' had finished, Judge Cessna, General Manager of the Florida Exchange! made an inter esting business talk. Col. Living ston, by request, made another short talk, and then the crowd broke up and the pleasures and profits of the iy came to nn end. Fully b00 people were present, and there has not been in all the experi ence of the reporter, an audience more thoroughly in sympathy with speakers. fringes a head thnt is slightly bald, j were tho causes that brought about Boys fall suits from 81.50 to $0.00.

When the Sub-Alliance was organ ized three years ago it was doubtful whether the order it represented j would ever amount to a row of beans. Two years ago it had taken a new start, because it had outgrown the prejudices that had environed it at the outstart. At first it was supposed that while it had in view tho benefit of the farmers, that while working them good it would injure others. AH this condition of affairs, and to change both of these is the great work before the order. The volume of currency had been too suddenly contracted, which carried the money of the coun try into Wall street, and enabled the men there to hoard it and thus'dictate the policy of the government. In 18iib there were 851.01 of money per capi ta, now there is less than 810 per capita. The financial system of the country had lioen fastened on it as a war measure, and Salmon P. Chase, who was Secretary ot the Treasury, when it was inaugurated, wrote before he died, that his action in recom mending it to the Wavs and Means was the greatest mistake of his life. President Lincoln at the close of the war had written; “We have cause to congratulate the country on the con clusion of the war, for it lias cost - Commencement at the South Georgia College.

London, June.i,—ThcTimes declares that the order to dispatch American cruisers to Behring sea smacks too much of the methods of the first Na poleon iu dealing with weak statesmen, and that if die order is executed,British men.of war must follow. "We can on ly imagine," the Times continues, “that pressure from Irish-Americans has induced Secretary Iilaine to with draw from his apparent desire lor a diplomatic settlement. We believe that Fngland will agree to close the time for taking seals, but such an ar rangement must he international, and can’t be imposed upon the world by American gunboats at the bidding of Mr. Iilaine." Blaine has long wanted an opportu nity to twist the British lion's tail, and he may utilize the present dispute to seize the caudal appendage referred o.

Every democrat in that state is pledged to support the nominee of tiie Montgomery con vention. The military are having a big time at Kansas City. That 85,000 will be hotly contested. Georgia has several companies there, including the famous Ilillcs of Atlanta, and the Georgia hoys will fully sustain the reputation of the Georgia Military.
