A New Secretary-Treasurer.

We are pleased to announce to our readers that Col. D. P. Duncan, who has so successfully managed the state exchange for the past year, has been unanimously elected secretary-treas-urer of the National Farmers’ Alliance and Industrial union by the executive committee of that body, and has accepted the position. A satisfactory transfer of the books and supplies of the office was made in Washington on last Monday and will be moved to this city at once, where Bro. Duncan will have his headquarters. Mr. L. K. Taylor, of Nashville, Tenn., who was elected secretarytreasurer at the last national meeting, failed to qualify in the time prescribed and that made it necessary for the executive committee to select another man for the position. Bra Duncan’s business ability is well known and his selection will prove wise and appropriate for the proper fulfillment of responsible duties of the position. All matter in reference to the secretarytreasurer of the national alliance should be addressed to Bra Duncan at Columbia, S. C.—Columbia (S. Q) Cotton Plant. —Now it is said the saloon keeper! and dive keepers of Chicago have raised a big fund to be used at Washington to prevent the opening of the world’s fair on Sunday. They think that Opening would seriously injure their business, and that they can afford to “put up* liberally to keep the gatea closed.— Coming Climax.
