The People's umal. PICKENS S. C. AN OFFICE IDYL. The bookkeeper sat behind his little sliding window covertly watching Miss Dolly over the top of his ledger. She was leaning rather djectedily over her typewriter with her bead on her hand and her eyes gazing wistfully through the window. The regular scratch, scratch of the shipping clerk's pen was the only sound in the olice, and presently Miss Doll 's eyes wandered in that direction and fingored on the curly head bond ing over the desk in the cornor. 'hey lingered there a long while, then she roused herself with a little sigh and began to fold her letters. The bookkeeper nodded to himself. "There is something wrong with Miss Dolly. She hasn't been like her-. self for a long time. She used to sing and rattle away so cheerily, and now she sighs and looks witoful and is too quiet. I have watched her. And I know what it is. She is in love with the shipping clerk. I was a young fol low myself once." The bookkeeper was not yet foi-ty, but care and hard worr had brought I little gray into his hair and his youth seemed very far away. Presently he opened the door of his cage. "Miss Dolly, you may as well go cow; you don't look well, and lIr. Si ry will not be back this evening.' Miss Dolly looked u) gratefully. "Oh, thank you she said. and closed up her typowriLtor and put on her hat. When e had gono the bookkee'er sat for a long while thinking hard. 11' was meditating a plain of attack, for Miss Dolly was too nice a girl to waste her affections on the shipping clerk. The bookkooper had fal len into the habit of walking homo with her in thew evening, their roads lying together, and he knew what a sweet, Ioale, womanly nature she had. The Ilip ping clerk must be nimde to rcal.ze this ; he must have his eyes ope-ned. In his corner that young gentleman scratched away, blissfuI ly unconscious of the schemes darkoning over hlis blonde head. He looked up when the bookkeeper caino over and sat down by his desk. " I think Miss )ollj is a very sweet girl, Jon't you, Wel ls " said the hook keeper. " Yes, she is rather a nice little girl," answered the shipping clerk, a ittle surprised. Teio bookkeeper ,el domn had anything to say. I4at lie went on. "She Is moco than 'r..ther nice.' She has a lovely d is position and is very pretty, too. I have bei walkinig bone with her at nights and hutve had a good opportunity to judge. I think she is a girl in a thousatnd." " Falling in lovewith her a" asked the shipping clerk. tOh, no, no. Nothing like thiat for me. She didn't look wltl this after noon, and I was thinking of her, that's all." The shipping clerk hat d lis sus pi clons, however, and Miss )olly au. quired a now interest for him. lie talked to her whenever lie could get a chance and found her ratha- dignilied and reserved, which only made him11 more eager to draw her out. The bookkeeper hel pe( matter's aiong al he could. lie left Lhema alone togetheA whenever an opp'or-tunit y alitrded, lit dropped little j udicious words arid h< gave up his evening walks with NI is: Dolly, being al ways too) busy to leavu when she did, so that it soon haippenet that she and the shipjping clerk begar to walk home together.

She hardly over spotke to) him a nowadays, she eveni appheairedl to aivoid him antd lie turnedtt t his wornk with a sigh. One evening lie watched thieri goling sway together arid lie noticed what, a han~dsome clerai-l iibed yotrng fellow the shipping cler k w'as rind how darin tily Miss DXlly lifted heri skirts, aned what a hanirdsome co~uple they made and he turned awayv to tha. lIttle mnir ror and scrutinized with ear-nest eyes the face thait greetedl him there. Hie noted bitterly thae gr-ay spr-inkledi in the dark hair arid the wrinkales iabouit the eyes andi the grave motith. ''What ai fool I have been '"he cried, passionately. A h, poor, e lurisy, yreaOtl hearted s;'lder, cauught in the wet) he had so cairefully woveni for the urisus pecting fly. But now that lie had begun this work tie would riot go back, no, riot if it brought the keenest tortur-e into his life. Be haid deliberately br-ought it upon himself and must bear the conse quences. And if Aliss D~olly loved the shipping clerk, why, she riust have him-her happiness canme ir-st of rall. So he crushed his hqnart sterulhy arid bore the ainguish as silently as lhe could. But it was hard, hiard wor-k ras the days went by. Miss D~olly hadt gr-own gay again, sometimes It scemedi almost a feverish gayety, she was soa bright and restless. 'rho bookkeeper caught himself watching her antd wait aston Ished to remomber- how long lie biad unconsciously been doing so. Once he came upon thorm standing close together and the shipping clerk was bending over her slim, gloved hand fastening a most refractory but eyes. Miss Dolly started and then dropped her eyes, flushing rosily. And the bookkeeper clenched bis hands, a mighty impulse came over him to fling the shipping clerk through the open door, and he took one quick step. Then he controlled himself by an effort and went on to his desk. After that he hardly dared to look at Miss Dolly and seldom trusted him self to speak. His only safety lay in work, so he toiled away from morning till ovening with the tireless energy of i machino. Then ono day came the news of the shippiug clerk s promotion, a good po sition, a snug salary. The bookkeepor inow what that meant. He wondered lully how long it would bo before the shipping clerk took her away. Oh, vhat would the oilcob be liko without ior ? However, she woald be happy ; tic was Pv glad that she would be lappy. Lie stood beside her at the window ks she was getting ready to leave, and hought what a lucky fellow the ship ping clerk was. All things had come LO him. "That promotion is a line thing for Wells," he said. "I am so glad it camo." " Yes, I am, too," Nliss )olIy answer ed, pausing to watch the sunset... 0he lobked subdued and thoughtful in its red glow. Slie deserved it," the bookkeel)er said gently. " And I am so glad for your sake." Miiss l)olly turned on him. " And why are you glad for my sake ?" " Well, because, of course, it Imust IDHII ho nuch to you.' Miss )olly flung out her hand imnpa tiently. " And why should it mean so much fur me ? she demanded. The hookkeeper llounderod stupidly. 114 (id not understand these bewitch ing woman's mood'.

Then sh e said softly : I was in love-but not with him." lier eyes were fixed dreamily on the purple clouds in the west, but there was somnething In her face that made the book keeper tako a sudden stride toward her and cry out liorcely : " I)olly ' I have a right to know Who was it that you were in love with ' Tl'henI 11oly13' diro0ipIed her coquetries and ,ifthl hlar clear eyes to his face and held out, her hands.

The Oconee County Alliance Has a Gran, Rally--ThousandS Flocked From Al sides. Spetial to The Cotton Plant. SENECA, July 4, 1899.-The Allianc( enthusiasm has not died out in Ocone County. The thousands here assembled show that the farmers of this section with their families are yet interested in a gathering intended to produce a re viyal of interest in the great farmer's or ganization which swept the land ten yeara ago. Not less than two thousand are lis telling to speakers in the beautiful grove near the depot, while hundreds of others are scattered in every direction. Sena tor Tillman is a drawing card, Qf course, and all the morning he has been the contre of admiration at the Oconee Inn, where the " wool hats " gravitated with the certainty and full assurance that their old-time leader was still in liar mony and sympathy with the men who made him Governor of South Carolina in 1890. The stand for the speakers was draped with the national colors, supplemented by sheafs of grain and cotton plants w':th squares and blooms, thus inter twining the patriotic and the practical. The presiding ollicer was Hon. J. It. Earle, former editor of the Oconee News, who is chairman of the committee of arrangements, and he mado an intro ductory speech explaining the objects of the meeting and asking that the best order shall be preserved. Prayer wai offered by R1ev. J. M. Maguire, and then the chairman stated the order of the (lay. Mr. J. 11. Make, the i. eturer of the State Alliance, wais Lhe first 1eiker in troduced. His subjuct was " Lend a lelping Hand," and he developed thi idea that the Alliamice was for the uplif of humnmity, for the improvement o society, for the better understanding o government and the relation of its citi zens. lie paid a generous tribute to th tidelity of the farmers of Oconce Coun ty, who had been the earliest advocate of the Alliance, and who had though al vicissitudes proven true to the prinfciple of the order. These principles did nc interfere with the rights of others, no had the Alliance sought to raise an prejudices between themselves an those who are engaged in other occup tions. The social, fraternal and tinancia features of the organization would ac be discussed by him, as others woul doubtless devote time to these, and 11 dwelt with emphasis upon the fosteriit of patriotism by an organization that co-extensive with tho country. Ili strong exposition of the evils growin out of tihe rapid formation of trusts an monopolies was well received by ti audience. lion J. C.

When h wais introdulced by the chairman, th crowdi instantly recognized him an knew that some lively anecdotes werei ordler, and Tralbert never disappoint his friends in this respect, at least. 11 began with a good story and1( endedl wit another, and sandwiched stili othei between the points of an admirab speech, in which lhe showed the advai tages of the Alliance and thme disadvai tages under which the farmers labt withiout an organization. Ilo has im forgotten how to make ani Alliance tall j uicy anmd rich, and said if there was an difference lie was a stronger Alhianc man thian when lie was campaigningi its early days. Senator TIillmian was unidoubtedly grai itied at his reception by thme large and ence. If lhe had any doubt sa to l staniding with the "'conmmon p~eople, the uncertainty wvas quickly dispelle when Chairman Smith introduced him as the " great imogul " of South Cart lina, andl the old-time yells greeted hii as they did in 1890 and 1894. Thme seal tered crowd came (quickly together, an ini a few minutes the, atudienice wa larger than at any time during the meet lng, for those on the outskirts were any ious to hear Tillmnan, and in fact som heard him at Beneca who had p~urposcl avoided that pleasure in all thme pasi8 The Senator began by saying thait tim crowd had been listening for severs hours to speeches of wit. andl wien~i and that the time was already past foi the dinner horn to blow. It had beer five years since he had met the citizenf i of Oconco and Anderson, and thor< 1 were such hot times then that few ladiec were present at the meetings. Ile wai glad to see the change, and to have the opportunity of addressing such a large gathering in which so many ladiPs were interested participants. Senator Tillman stated that the topic assigned him was " National Conditions and Tendencies," and It was a big sub ject. The masses -,f tho people were no longer freemen, and the words were hardly out of his mouth when a man dircetly in front asked, " Who made us that way ?" and quick as lightning came the answer, "'I he fools who vote to put scoundrels into ollice," at which the crowd checered lustily. Ile followed this reply with the declaration that the con dition with which we are now confronted is that everything we buy and every thing we are too poor to buy has got into the hands of men who fix the price of what we eat and what we wear, and this is why we are not frecmcn. How can w e restore the former order of things when capital competed with capital, and not as now when capital Is combined with capital to oppress the people ? We cannot buy the necessaries of life with the cotton grown iII the South, for there is no surplus money made from the cropq, and the wheat far mer of the West is in like condition. The great trouble in rectifying such ex traordinary conditions is that the men in the Northern States vote the party tickets without regard to fitness for office, and the bosses in both partie control the men who a:e elected. Ile called attention to one hopeful sign, which is that the American )eol)i( have change(l Presidc,:ts at every elec, tion since IM4, at which time the Dei ocrats had been successful for the firsi time in almost a generati-m, and hat put Grover Clevel'tnd into the Whit( llouse lie wits ousted in 1848 by Hen jimin IHarrison, who in turn was de feated by Cleveland in 1 92, at whiel time lie (Tillnan) told the people tin there was "1 something dead up th creek," and four years later there wa 1 something dead Im the White louse I following the treachery and infamou 8 administration of Cleveland's secom t term.
