lkuksdale’s majority over George
in Hinds was 1117.
The cotton worms arc getting in
their work in the Delta.
Senator Gordon and Gov. Northern
don't run the Georgia Alliance.
The Alliance was never designed to
be a tail to any political party’s kite.
Congressman Jlceman is no more
potential in his own county than St.
George.
Congressman Livingston of Geor
gia, like in ncli-trad need McDowell of
Tennessee, was unanimously le-eleet
ed President of liis State Alliance.
The first bale of new cotton at Sum

81 cents; at Wesson, 0; at Ilazle

Capt. Frank Burkitt was presented
with a llag by admiring lady friends
during the Chickasaw campaign which
now waives triumphantly over his res
idence.
The endorsement of Blaine for
President by the Republican conven
tion of Pennsylvania, is regarded as
placing him squarely in the field for
the nomination.
Tlie Legislative ticket in the em
pire county of llimls is as follows:
•State Senators, Williamson and Car
michiol ; llepresentatives, Campbell,
Hotter and Peyton : Floater, W. A.
Henry.
Secretary Foster is quoted as say
ing there would be no ditticulty in
paying a part or all of the government
11 per cent, bonds due Sept. 1st.
Then why in thunder not pay them
and stop the interest ?
As in Lincoln, the vote in Hinds
was confined in file primary to white
registered voters. 2000 voted. The
two candidates for Sheriff received
between them Go more votes than
Harksdale and George.
The papers opposed to the Alliance
are still abusing President Polk fori
what lie said in a bogus interview. It I
doesn’t make the slightest difference
in the world to them that he never j
said what was put in his mouth by a
lying reporter.
The Tiines-Deiuocrat is encourag
ing Alliance men ot Louisiana to go
into the third party. This is done in
the hope, of course, of benefit ting
that corrupt concern known as the
Louisiana Lottery, to which the farm
ers are rightfully opposed.
The State Alliances of 1 eunessec,,
Texas, Arkansas, Georgia anil Virgin
ia have met anil reaffirmed their ad
herence, in unmistakable terms, to
the Ocala platform. The Mississippi
Alliance, now in session at Starkville,
it is safe to say, will follow suit.
Suppose, as now seems likely, the
Republicans should nominate l(laine>
who is opposed to the Force bill'
Wouldn’t that be a paralyzer to the
sectional agitators in Dixie, who are
already trying to make it appear that
nothing short of a solid South next
year can save us from the Force bill
calamity ?
At a meeting of the Hoard of Trus
tees of Mississippi College at Jackson
last week, Dr. W. fc. Webb again ten
dered his resignation as president,
which was accepted this time, and the
Rev. It. A. Venable, pastor of the
First Baptist Church of Memphis, w as
elected president. Dr. Webb was
elected professor emeritus. President
elect Venable is a son-in-law of Dr.
Webb, an alumnus of the College and
a man of force aud talent.
Victory Ahead!
Kven though the senatorial contest,
now draw ing to a close, should l»c de
cided against the Salt-Treasury and
financial reform, the supporters of Al
liance principles have every reason to
he proud of the gallant fight they have
made and every encouragement to
promptly renew the struggle with in
creased determination. In this first
onslaught tho Alliance forces, which
at tlte outset, were as an army of raw
militia, ridiculed, jilted ami sneered
at as a pack of lunatics pursuing an
ignis fntuns, have made the very
strongholds of the opposition waver
and tremble. Old political bosses
have been stricken with horror and
consternation because the people w ill
no longer bow in abject reverence to
their authority and follow in unques
tioning obedience the beaten path
marked out by Wall street and mo
nopoly.
The reform army will henceforth
l»c a fighting army, from the com
mander-in-chief at the head of the
column down to the humblest private
in the ranks. This year's contest has
purged tin1 ranks and eliminated the
traitors and camp-followers, the sut
lers ami tenderfoots. The men and
papers that slipped into the Alliance
for personal gain, with the idea that
they could serve God and mammon
and make a corner on both, have re
vealed their true character .and tied
to the enemy or the rear at tlie first
shock of battle, and only the true sol
diers who can “endure hardness" will
hereafter be found on its muster
roll.
It is a significant fact, full of en
couragement to all members of the
reform army, that not a single battle
has been lost in any county in Missis
sippi where the Alliance had an out
spoken newspaper to champion its
principles ami candidates, combined
with aggressive, intelligent leader
ship. On the other hand, in several
instances, notably in Carroll, Talla
hatchie. Kankin, Scott, Clarke and
others, signal victories have been won
under the incessant tire of a hostile
press and the machine politicians com
bined. In Copiah, where all three of
the county papers had their batteries
trained for weeks oil the Sub-Treas
ury, assisted by all of the profession
al politicians of the county, and
where the supporters ot that measure
did not begin active work until 10
days before the primary, George was
pulled through ouly by the niggardly
majority of 77 votes. In Tippah, Ne
shoba and other counties where the
machine press and politicians made
common cause against the Alliance
platform and candidates, “Saint
George” was equally hard pressed.
In a word, with “raw troops” and
an insufficiency of newspapers and
experienced leaders to cover the field
(having been basely betrayed by some
of those it trusted), the Alliance
has met the trained and dis
ciplined cohorts of the op
position, well captained by the ma
chine press and party bosses, stormed
their works and all but captured their
citadel.
No cause not founded on principles
of justice and righteousness could
have made such a record under such
disadvantages, and the results
achieved are a prophecy and inspira
tion for future effort. Wherever un
prejudiced and fair-minded men of
other callings have the opportunity
and take the pains to study the Alli
ance platform and principles, they are
making the farmers' cause their own.
Let us educate and press on. With
this year's experience and discipline,
supplemented by wise and loyal lead
ership, what may not this reform
army do hereafter ? Comrades, be
brave and steadfast and let next year
answer.
Won’t be in It.
Some of the aspiring politicians of
this State who hung back and remain
ed neutral in the Senatorial contest
this year until they thought they
were certain which would lie the win
ning side, and then went over to the
George crowd and ont-heroded Herod
to defeat the reforms sought by the
Alliance, remind us of the idiot who
was sorely agitated over a big crack
he discovered in the ground. Think
ing the earth was going to break in
two, after studying the situation in
tently for a few minutes, he jumped
over on the side which he thought was
the biggest and congratulated himself
on the narrow escape he had made
from destruction.
These gentlemen, after much per
turbation of mind and soul have
jumped over on what they take to l>e
the safe side in the present light ol
the people against the combined forces
of the money power, but they will
soon discover that the earth is crack
ing under their feet again, and next
year will bring such a series of
“ground swells,” “land slides” and
“earth quakes” as were never dreampt
of iu all their cunning philosophy.
Will the people send any of these
fellows who are trying to run with
the big side to Congress ! Not much.
The Farmers Alliance and other
citizens of Lawrence county have or
ganized the Lawrence County Fail
Association, and will hold a stock fair
at Moutieello the 19th and 20th of
November next. A number of cash
premiums are ottered and other steps
are being taken to make the enterprise
a success. It is a move in the right
direction.
I tn.s<>il mi Krror.
Tlio claim made by the Franklin
county delegation in the Floatnrial
Convention that Franklin is In ri.uht
entitled to the Floater this time as
successor to Jefferson, though mi
donht honestly entertained, is not
well founded oil facts. Let the facts
speak !
At the first Floatnrial Convention
held between Jefferson and Lincoln,
Col. C. ltvnl was riidorseu l»v the
mocrncy of Lincoln as her choice for
(lie position, and as such, was present
ed to the convention. Jetferson coun
ty presented the name of Mr. Charles
llntler as her choice. I'he result was,
as between these candidates, a dead
lock. when to break it, the Jetferson
county delegation withdrew llntler,
and unanimously placed in nomina
tion I»r. Ii. It. Applewhite. The Lin
coln delegation then accepted Jetfer
son county’s choice and Dr. Apple
white was unanimously nominated.
At the second Convention, Lincoln
presented no candidate ot her own
hut conceded it to Jetferson, and Dr.
J. 1*. Wise of Jetferson county was
nominated.
At the third convention Lincoln
county presented as her tirst choice
Mr. A. M. Summers, and Mr. A. Lew
entlial. Jr., as her second choice, but
the Jetfcison county delegation would
accept neither, and the. result was
that Capt. J. J. Whitney, of Jetferson
county, became the nominee of the
convention, thus giving the nomina
tion to Jetferson twice in succession.
At the fourth convention Lincoln
county presented ns her choice Mr. J.
\Y. ISoonc, lint he met the fate of
Summers and llyrd, because of the
opposition of .JetVerson county, and
Dr. It. It. Applewhite was again nom
inated as the choice of the Jefferson
delegation.
At the fifth convention to nominate
a Delegate to the Constitutional Con
tion, Lincoln county endorsed and
presented the name of Dr. It. It. Ap
plewhite, but Jefferson, though hav
ing selected him as her representative
twice before unanimously, opposed
him this time and dually compromis
ed on Hon. It. II. Thompson.
So it will be seen that in not one
single instance have the people of
Lincoln county ever been permitted
to name the Floatorial Representa
tive.
. The Floatorial Convention.
i'lie floatorial convention met at
Kennolia last Wednesday, and, as an
ticipated. resulted in a dead-lock.
The Franklin delegates planted them
selves on the claim that their county
is entitled to the nominee and would
not seriously entertain any other pro
position. The name of Judge C’asse
dy, who has been endorsed for the
nomination by the Alliance and De
m or racy of this county, without so
licitation on his part, was presented
by the Lincoln delegation. The name
of Dr. A. M. Newman was presented
by the Franklin delegates as in like
manner the choice of the Alliance
and Democracy of that county, and
171 ineffectual ballots taken, each can
didate receiving 10 votes each suc
ceeding ballot. The convention be
ing unable to agree, adjourned Thurs
day to meet again the first Saturday
in September.
Fleet Hurras, of Franklin, was
elected chairman, and Felix May, of
Lincoln, Secretary, and a resolution
passed to nominate no candidate who
was not pledged to support Harksdale
and the Ocala platform.
Sinner anti Saint.
Macunc, the editor of the National
Economist, the organ of the National
Farmers Alliance, says “that if the
old parties are too firmly wedded to
machine politics and its methods to
give them up and return to pure
methods, they will both be destroyed
in the coming conflict and new par
ties be formed having methods in ac
cord with the principles of populai
self-government and not subservient
to plutocratic tendencies.”
'i’his Macunc borrowed two I lion
sand dollars from one l’at Calhoon. a
railroad attorney, in order to estab
lish au Alliance Journal in Georgia,
and it is said electioneered to have
Pat elected as Senator from Georgia
in the 1'. S. Congress, but failed.
One J. Z. George, commonly called
“Old Trace Chains,” voted for a De
pendent Pension bill that placed a
burden of fifty millions of dollars on
the people, and as it is good for 20
years, will eventually come to a bil
lion at least in order to elect one
Daniel Voorheos to the United States
Senate from Indiana.
Sinie of our papers are calling Ma
ciiuc a grand rascal for what he did
and “Trace Chains” a saint. Size
them np right and call them by the
right names. Macune lighting for
principles and George for —what ?

Tl»r Chairman of tl»p ICxtTiitlvr Commit

Ktlltor Hrookhavrii I.f.apf.u:
Onr election is over, and resulted
in our defeat as an Alliance. There
never was a closer light, nor at the
same time one with the odds so much
against ns. When we commenced
tiie light I am satisfied that George
would have carried I lie county by at
least .">00 or (>00 majority. Had all of
our Sub-Alliances been worked up
like Harmony. Ileanrcgard, Hopewell
and Hallman, the day would have
been ours in spite of all the swindling
by some of the opposition.
They even went so far as to get out
a lot of circulars about one of our
candidates for the legislature, stating
that lie laid slipped his name on the
ticket at the eleventh hour, when his
political record could not be ventilat
ed : all of which was as base a lie as
ever was gotten up. lie knew noth
ing about his name being placed on
the ticket. Steve Wiltshire and my
self were the ones that had it done.
The only place where his name was
used was about the pay for his name
being placed on the ticket; all of
which was done without his knowl
edge or consent. In the morning ot
the same day. D. Miller, a memher
of tiie Executive Committee, had or
dered it placed on the ticket, hut for
some reason it appears that it was not
placed on the ticket until the editor
of the Copiah Signal received the dis
patch from Wiltshire and myself to
put it on. Those circulars were sent
broad-cast to every v ding place, and
soim; low-down dirty fellow to spread
the news that he was a Radical and
had voted a Radical ticket; all of
which was a base and infamous lie,
concocted to beat the Alliance candi
date.
Again, Dr. Z. J. Scott was out for
Representative on the George ticket,
a pure a man and in every respect as
worthy and well qualified as any man
on the ticket. Now to beat our can
didate, on the morning of the election,
the chairman of the Executive Com
mittee started a report that Dr. Scott
had come down. In llazlehurst, the
day of the election, young Dr. Char
ley Oatis, being a Scott man, went to
the Chairman of the Executive Com
mittee and asked how he had gotten
the information that Dr. Scott was
down. The chairman told him that
he had received a dispatch from W.
C. Wilkinson of Crystal Springs, stat
ing that Dr. Scott was down. Dr.
Oatis, not being satisfied, dispatched
to Wilkinson to know if Dr. Scott
was down. Wilkinson dispatched back
that he was not. So you see it was
all to beat the Alliance. Dr Scott is
a member of the Alliance.
On Monday morning, W. T. Mc
Dade and myself carried the Gallman
box down to llazlchurst. On our ar
rival I learned the fact from Dr. Oatis
about what had taken place. It so in
censed me that I went to the chair
man's father and told him what 1 had
learned about what his son had done
in the matter. 1 further stated to his
father that he had been a Radical him
self and Keithley had never voted for
a Radical in his life and was a Demo
crat. I also stated that the thing had
to be settled or some one would have
to swallow the lie. 1 suppose that he
told his son what I had said, for after
dinner when we went back to the
cour t house, the chairman, seeing me
when he came in, walked up to me
and said lie wanted to see me private
ly. My answer was that I wanted to
see he him too.
He told me what he heard about
what I had said, all of which I ac
knowledged. 1 told him what I had
heard from Dr. Oatis. I told him that
he must go with me to Dr. Oatis and
have the matter straightened up. He
lirst thought to bluff me, hut when
he found that game wouldn’t work,
we started to see Dr. Oatis. Then he
owned to me that he had been to
Crystal Springs and the matter had
been fixed up there to circulate that
Dr. Scott was down to beat Keitlilcy.
Now 1 ask all honest voters would
there be any breach of faith in our
voting for Scott or Keithly ? We
signed a pledge to support the nomi
nees of the Democratic party. Now
who broke the pledge? Furthermore,
we kept our obligations as Prohibi
tionists. We voted for no man who
was accused of drinking whisky, or
iu other words, did do it.
To make the proof stronger that it
was a trick to beat the Alliance, Dr.
Scott told me himself that a nephew
of his told him that two prominent
merchants had been heard to say that
they had Dr. Scott out to divide the
Alliance vote so as to beat the Alli
ance.
Had they kept within the pales of
truth to beat us, we never would have
complained. There is no power on
earth that can make me vote for a man
that gets drunk. We have too many
sober men for me to throw my votes
away for drunkards. 1 am a Metho
dist in that sense of the word. A
man that has been in the habit of get
ting drunk cannot get my vote, be
cause lie says he has quit drinking.
He will have to go ou probation not
less than four years before he can get
my vote. In fact, I would not vote
for any regular dram drinker; be
cause 1 never saw one that didu’t get
drunk. John W. Mathis.
Reporting tlie result of the primary
in Attala, which Senator George and
his congressional syndicate visited
several times and made a desperate
effort to carry, but which went for
lhirksdale and flic Sub-Treasury by
(>00 majority, the Kosciusko corres
pondent of the Times-Democrat calls
Private John Allen, “John Amen.”
John Amen ! That’s good, that’s pro
phetic. Next year Private John will
hear the Amen and dnxolngy too, and
lie won’t bo officiating at the cere
monies cither.

inates Against the
Farmer.
Ilr rrn|Mnrii an Kutraonllnary lleineily,
■Kit l.ikely to Meet With l’o|nih«r
Favor.
Kilitor ltrookhaven trailer:
It is snit! that “this farmers are pre
judiced against wealth." Now com
ing direct from the tSnb Treasury bill
down nearer home, let us see one way
the farmers are made the burden
bearers.
The 1. Railroad charges *110011
a Hat of cottou from Wesson to New
Orleans, 138 miles. Tills is nearly
jfKKM) for one train load of cotton.
We can’t say wliat a railroad should
receive for its work$ lint we can
prove that this is extortion, ill the fol
lowing way: No such rate of freight
is charged on any Northern road, nor
where there is competition. This
same road w ill pull this same train
load of cotton from Jvckson to New
Orleans, 183 miles, at less than half
this amount. This road will take a
ear of lumber to 8t. Louis for 4f> dol
lars, but charges one hundred dollars
to bring baek a car of flour, corn,
oats or meat.
Now this looks like discriminating
against the farmers. What they sell
or buy bears an enormous freight, but
this is not true of anything else.
If Ibis road can’t, be induced to car
ry freight reasonably, why can't our
coming Legislature borrow four mil
lion dollars and build two roads across
Hie State—one in North and the other
in South Mississippi? These two
roads would lie an equal protection to
every citizen in the State against ex
tortion. It could not be called class
legislation, for every body would be
beiietitted by them. It would give us
two outlets to the river, and I ven
ture to say that in ten years, enough
money could be saved to the fanners
on cot ton, corn and dour alone to pay
for the building of the road, and we
would still own'the roads.
Now the Farmers Alliauce might
agitate this matter and get it in shape,
and they have the power to require
the legislature to build the road.
And if the money is borrowed from
Europe, that will put that much
money in circulation in our State.
Another thing, what harm would
there be in Mississippi owning a few
miles of railroad ? She could thus
protect her citizens for all coming
ages against oppression. Is our State
not as able to undertake such enter
prises as private citizens ? And it is
simply absurd to say that she cannot
manage it as well. England manages
her railroad to success; why can’t
we ?
If anything is to be done in this
matter it should be done quickly.

Wisconsin’s Capital City Attract
ing Attention as a Summer
Resort - - Excursion Rates
via Illinois Central.
Located in about the central south
ern portion of the State is the cele
brated “Four Lake Country” of Wis
consin, the beauty and charm of whose
lakes no less a poet than Longfellow
has recorded in verse. The two larg
est of the four lakes, Mendota and
Monona, are seperated by a uarrow
peninsula whose picturesque hills and
valleys are dotted with the beautiful
homes and tine public buihlings of
Madison. The natural beauty of sit
nation ot tins, the capital city of the
State, long since elicited unqualified
praise from such an eminent journal
ist as Horace Greeley, and from so re
nowned a traveler as Bayard Taylor,
and to-day the structural beauty of the
eitv in no wise belittles its advantage
and charm of location. The educa
tional and governmental features, the
shaded streets, substantial and pretty
homes, charming drives, exquisit
views of lakes, hills and town, and
the general restful atmosphere pre
vading the city ; the opportunity that
the lakes afford for the very best of
fishing and for boating and bathing ;
the facilities along the fragrantly
wooded lake shores for c,fuipS ng out,
for summer hotel life, or for a season’s
sojourn iu one’s summer cottage—all
this, and much more, has drawn to
Madison in greater numbers each year
the sportsman, the tourist, the camp
er, the aesort hotel guest, the cottager
and the lover of quiet country-town
life. Consequently Madison is begin
ning to be widely known ns a most de
lightful place for •sojourn in summer,
and, being located on the Illinois Cen
tral, that railroad has made a summer
excursion rate to Madison from prin
cipal points on its lines. Excursion
tickets on sale until Sept. 30th, good
for return until Oct. 31st. Seud to,
or call on, the undersigned tor a tree

tive of Madison’s attractions. It is a
beautiful place for an outing, either in
midsummer or in the fall. If you
have had yours for the present season,
get the descriptive book noiv, and
think over the desirability of milking
a trip there uext year.
