One of the objections urged
by the outside world against
the subtieasury scheme is its
expensiveness. It is held that
it would bankrupt the govern¬
ment. This will stand the test
of examination. The subtreas¬
uries would not beany expense
to the government whatever.
The parties placeing the would pro¬
duce in the warehouses
of course pay all the expenses
incurred by said storeage. These
same parties who kick against
the expense of the sub treas¬
uries never say a word against
the exdensive custom houses
built all over the United States.
Yet they have built custom houses
for the benefit of the manufacturers
from Alaska to Key West, And 48
per cent of those custom houses don t
collect as much cUBtoin as it costs to
run them. One custom house in
Alaska costs $14,000 per year, and
collects $112. At Alexandria the
cuatom house costs $2,500 and col¬
lects $14. At Saco the custom house
costs $5,000 per year and collects
$2.50. At kiltie Egg Harbor at
Burlington at Annapolis, and at Sag
Harbor, they have custom houses
which cost, on an average of $2,000
and do not collect u cent.
A London married couple named
Waters, ler some reason, bestowed
upon their daughter the name of
Mineral, and now sbo has to sign
herself ‘‘Mineral waters.”
Senator Butler, of South Carolina,
and President Stokes, of the State
Alliaece discussed the subtreasury
bill yesterday at Prosperity S. C.
Mr. Stokes said the farmers were not
wedded to the sub-treasury bill if
they could get something better.
Senator Butler proposed to substi
lute the Mills bill in its stead.
A boy may be raised by the purest
mother God ever let live, and them
go out into the busy thoroughfares of
life and w ie in contact with the av¬
erage str*” ' herd who roam the town,
denoung good men as hypocrites, old
fogies and M nught-luced Puritans, and
if that boy don't fail it won't be the
fault of those who so vigorously assail
his good mother’s teachings*
Some people will pay their lawyer
more to tell them how to keep out of
the penitentiary than they will their
preacher to tell them how to keep out
of bell or got into heaven it you pre¬
fer.
The re-districting of the State is
one of the duties of the present Log
islause. Gnorths is uow entitled to
eleven representatives in Congress,
one for every 168,000 people, aud the
task will be to satisfactorily re divide
the state into congressional districts.
The merchants who are still op¬
pressing the great reforms demand¬
ed by the alliance are standing in
tbier own light. They lose sight of
tbe face that the prosperity of the
farmer means the prosperity of the
merchant. Any measure that will
give relief u> working people will
bench the tnercao ue and profes¬
sional world. The measures advo¬
cated by tue alliance ean hurt no
merchant or professional man in
the least. Then why not join heart
and hand wuh tjc great struggling
muss oi people and strike lor re¬
form. for tue liberty of oua fore¬
fathers.
AT SHAD YD ALE.
A GOOD MEETING AND SOME EXCEL¬
LENT SPEAKING.
Dear Editor Solid Sooth: Last
Saturday the 25th the alliance of
Honey Creek had a public meeting at
Liberty Chapel better known as Sha¬
dy dale, aud extended a general invi
tatiou to everybody and especially to
all auti alliaucemen to come and dis
cuss tke issues of the day and the
demands of the Ocala platform. When
the hour arrived for discussion the
invitation was extended, but not a
single anti responded. So we can
only consider them cowards or with
out fouddation for their opposition.
We think they had better keep quiet
oe dance to the music. If the anties
will extend thn same invitation in the
near future I will guarantee that some
good allianceman will meet them just
as Ben Terrell of Texas did Ben Till
man of South Carolina and use them
up in the same way.
Being determined to have a good
time as we always do on all occasions
Brother W. T. Stanton was called for
and responed in an interesting talk of
twenty minutes, showing the good
the order has done the farmers, be
ginning with the jute bagging fight
and coming on down to the exchange.
Brother J. B. Graham was called
for and responded in a fifteen min
utes speech on the importance of
economy and of whipping the the
fight.
The next speaker was our gallant
young editor, Brother M. D. Irwin of
The Solid South, who spoke about
half an hour on the corruption of the
government.
Col. W. L. Peek followed in an
hour speech upon the Ocala platform
discussing each demand separately
and defying opposition in the justice
aud honesty of the alliance demands.
The people were then dismissed by
Brother Stanton.
Just as we got out into the yard
who should we see coming but our
worthy old chief the Hon. L F. Liv
ingstoo. We waived him down and
had him to go into the church and
give us a little talk on his trip in the
Northwest, which he did in his usual
pleasant way. The information we
received from our grand old leader
was indeed encourageing to the order.
Colonel, your old neighbors are al
ways glad to Bee you come home.
May you live forever and never die.
Remember, while you are in the lead
vre are carefully bringing up the rear,
determined to stand until the last
battle is fought and equal rights are

Newtou, aged 25, of Sheoongo township,

A LIBERAI PROPOSITION.
Who ha3 not heard of that paragon
of family papers, the enterprising and
populai Weekly Detroit Free Press!
For a generation its name has been
a household word and has become a
synonym for all that is excellent, pure
and eievrtiug in journalism. It is
delightfully entertaining, without
resort to cheap sentimentalism, in
struettye without being prosy or pe
dantic. Combining the literary qua¬
lities of tha expensive magaxine with
the bright,, breezy characteristics of
the newspaper it leaves nothing to be
desired by the average reader. It is
looked upon as a welcome visitor by
every family who reads it, while thous -
ands regard it as indispensable and
would no no account go without it.
An enormous circulation of 125,000
copies per week attests itn wonderful
popularity. Recognizihg the fact that
there are those whe are unfamiliar
with its surpassing merits as a home
paper, the publishers ofier to send
The Free Press to them for the ba¬
lance of this year (over five months)
for only 30 cents—a club of four for
$1.00 or a club of ten for $2.00. All
onr readers should subscribe at once.
