were all armed, to fire. They delivered a
perfect volley of bullets. When tbe
negroes bad emptied their pistols and
the firing ceased tbe following were
found to shot: Alf Litten, white
mortally wounded; P. Strouther, shoj

Re olved, That wo fully endorse the ac-
tion of tho Birmingham meeting, and tbat
we will use cotton covering for our pres-
ent crop In prelerence to jute bagging.
Whereas, We think the pr. sent way of
getting money for Alliance Institutions Is
unjust, and tbat all money for Alliance In-
stitutions fhould be raised by taxing each
male member In the state occording to his
actual worth. Therclore, bo It
Resolved, Tbat we do not favor raising
dues any further than is provided for al-

sessment for manufacturing or mercantile

Whereas, It is currently reported that
tho Infamous bagging trust of 18HS Is to
continue Its robbery of tbo cotton pro-
ducer during the present year, and tbat
for tbe purpose of carrying out their
scheme complete arrangements have al-
ready been made by buying all the avail-
able jute butts on the market; and
Whereas, A tame submission to such un-
just and Iniquitous exactions Is altogether
unworthy or citizen who cull themselves
farmers, and must Inevitably result in ag-
gressons of even a more oppressive char-
acter, therefore
Resolved. Tbat we will not submit to
such exactions Inasmuch as there has been
a plan devised by which we are freed from
sucb oppressors.
Resolvod. Tbat we endorse tbe action
of tbe Birmingham conference In rejecting
the proposition of Messrs. Mnrdock and
Donophan, and the substitution of cotton
roping (or this year's crop.
Resolved, Tbat we nrge tbe brethren
throughout the state to patronize tbe cot-
ton bagging manufacturers, even If tbe
bagging should cost more than tbe Jute
bagging. Respectfully.
