PANHANDLE ALLIANCE PICNIC.
V . Enjoyable Day Spent at Glover’s School
Hoase—The Speeches, Etc.
Reynolds, Ga., August 10.—The Pan-
hr.tiie Alliance had a picnic and basket
dinner yesterday at Glover’s school house,
speaking was the first thing on the pro
gramme. Mr. L. B. Lucas spoke first. He
spoke at some length, and criticised the
Felton education bill and favored the
Olive bill.
Major Pelham was next. He stated that
he was not a puolie speaker, but he put in
good licks, in place of abusing monopo
lies, trusts, etc., he urges the Alliance to
fight them as a single man, do more and
say less.
After Major Pelham, Mr. W. R. Gorman,
of Talbot county, was introduced. He
spoke at some length, giving statistics,
etc. He tried to impress the necessity of
diversified farming on the minds of the
people.
After his speech dinner was announced,
and, as it was in Panhandle, it is useless to
say that the table was literally heaped.
Everybody had plenty, and more was left
than is usually carried to such places.
After dinner Mr. Z. Beeland spoke a few
moments. His was an exposition of the
aims, purposes, etc., of the Farmers Al-
lian -er He positively grew eloquent.
After his speech the president of Taylor
County Alliance, Rev. J. T. Adams, spoke.
He attacked class legislation,attributed the
woes of the farming classes largely to class
legislation, and urged the selection of hon
est and capable men to the important
offices.
Taking it as a whole, it was one of the
most pleasant days we ever spent. Long
may the Alliance live and prosper.

Hungarians Make Anultier Raid.
CONNELLSVILLE, Pa , August 10.—The
Hungarians made another raid on the
workmen at the Mercer coke plant, and
drove them from work. ’Squire Duncan
and Officers Franks and Shuun attempted
to arre3t fifteen of the rioters, when they
were set upon by tne mob. Duncan was
terribly beaten, and left for dead. Shunn
and Franks escaped by running. After
beating Duncan tne Hungarians broke the
windows and doors of the company’s store.
The sheriff will organize a posse this after
noon to arrest the raiders. The Hunga
rians do not appear to understand that the
strike is settled, and regard tae workmen
as “black sheep.”

is saying a great deal—shoat, mutton,beef,

After dinner the crowd reassembled in
the house, and under the fine brush arbor

The pleasant day’s enjoyment was closed

Cars Wrecked at Americus.
Americas, August 9 —Boon after the j

I at tne yards on last night, four cars, loaded j

ternoon in nearing the argument on the
constitutionality of Senator Johnson’s two
bills on the Mobile and Girard stock rraus-
:er. Elaborate and able arguments favor
ing the bills were made by Messrs. William
A. Little, Henry R. Goetchius and Louis
F. Garrard, and against them by Messrs.
Carey J. Thornton and James M. McNeill.
Captain Charles A. Redd also spoke against
the measure.
At the conclusion, the governor stated
that under the advice of the attorney-gen
eral, he would hold both bills constitu
tional.
The fight through the senate and house
has been warm and exciting, and the seat
of war was transferred to day to the exec
utive office, but with no avail to the oppo
nents of the measures.
The advocates of the bills claim that the
real issue on these measures is one between
the Central railroad and the Georgia Mid
land. This is denied on the other side, but
whatever be the issue, the victorious side
went home to-night in the best of humor,
and the people of Columbus will now be
allowed to vote upon tne question for
themselves.

son was not favoraoie, and their plant was
8inaii and late, but favorable
weather during July has placed
it in a vigorous condition,
and it is improving rapidly. In Tennes
see the condition has fallen off during the
month. The stand was generally poor
and late, and the excess of moisture has
prevented proper cultivation.
Averages of the condition by states are:
Virginia 63, North Carolina SI, 3outn Car
olina 90, Georgia 91, Florida 95, Alabama
90, Mississippi SS, Louisiana 92, Texas 91,
Arkansas 93, Tennessee 73. Caterpillars
and boll worms are occasionally mention
ed in Mississippi and Louisiana, and in
seve al counties of Texas, but the damage
from them Ls as yet inappreciable.
Tobacco has fallen off materially on ac-
count;of excessive rain. The decline is espe
cially-marked in the Atlantic states, and
the Indiana fields are full of weeds, and
there has been a lack of sunshine for
proper development. The averages in the
leading states are: Pennsylvania 99, Mary

Indiana 55, Wisconsin 93.
The August crop report, of the depart
ment of agriculture makes the coadiaoa
of corn 94.S7, spring wheat S1.2, spring rye
95 4, oats 92.3, barley 90 6, buckwheat 95 2,

has made an improvement during the past
month of 4j points, and is now less tnau
one point lower than at the same dace
j last war. The August return of the coa-
j dition has not stood more tnan one point
| higher during tne past nine years, and the
j present return has been equalled but three
times during that period. The improve-
! ment is quite generally distributed
| throughout tne country,' foliowing the fa-
i vorabie growing weatter and sutfieitnt
I rainfall. In & few slates, especially along
! the Atlantic coast, the condition has been
! somewhat reduced from excessive rainfall
and local floods and overflows, while in
many other districts where an improve
ment is noted, similar causes have pre
vented full cultivation and thus lowered
what otherwise might have been nearly a
perfect condition. In Ohio, Michigan and
Indiana the results of early unfavorable
meteorological conditions are being over
come, and the crop prospect is improving.

Commenting on the insurrection, the
Conit Advertiser, of Honolulu, says: “The
msmrection, although long premeditated
and planned, was one of the
most siliy and hopeless attempts
to overthrow the Hawaiian government
that eooid be attempted. Nothing but
gro-s ignorance of the situation could have
prompted any such attempt, and had the
rioters been white men, a lunatic asylum
or hemp cravat would have been the most
suitable nunishmen

Montgomery',Ala.,August 10.—The Dis
patch newspaper,of this city, was to-night
sold by its pre sident.Col. Di S. Troy, to the
Advertiser. There will be no hyohenated

remains unenanged. This saie ends four
years cf newspaper rivalry, in which the
old story is repeated. Abundant capital,
brains and energy have failed to estaoiish
