HOW IS THIS FOR HIGH !
Listen to my new scheme of buying watches
for thirty-six members of a club. Each mau just
as soon as he draws a watch w 11 drop out, until
all members will have watches of various grades,
t his club will have four grades of watches, vary
ing from $12.50 to $40.CO, except the last man will
draw a watch worth $50.00. If you don’t under
stand my new scheme, just drop into my $1.09 a
week store, and I will give you the inside track
on the whole busiaess. emember every mem
ber will get a watch, and no one member will be
Tesponible for any other member, for just as
soon as one member draws a watch he drops out,
and he will not pay any more money to the club.
Here is the way ail members will draw their
watches:
First—Nine members will draw a watch each
weak worth $12.50 cash.
Second—Nine members will draw a watch
-worth $29.00,
Third—, ine memb.rs will draw a watch worth
$30.c0.
Fourth—Eight members will draw a watch
worth $40.00.
The last member will draw a watch worth
$=.0.C0, so come up and join the club on my new
plan.
No mortgage, no security, and every man re
sponsible for himself and no other.
Yours with new scheme,
V. J. PEKOR.

Officer Crane Rons in Three Members of a
Gang of Law Breakers.
On Jane 12, last, an ice cream sapper
was given by Sam Lewis, colored, at bis
home near the residence of Judge Mark
Blandford, in Wynnton. A crowd of young
bucks liviDg in the city, hearing of the
affair, decided that it should not go on
without their presence, although they
were not Invited guests. Having first pro
ceeded to fill their skins with “liquid”
courage, they repaired to the scene of the
festivities and entered the house, and at
once began to demolish the furniture and
break up the party. They were put out,
however, and the doors locked. They
were not satisfied with this, and turned
their attention to the tearing down of the
fence and ruining the fruit trees. Having
done this to their hearts’ content, they
then left for the city, making the night
hideous with their yells and curses. Next
day warrants were sworn out for their
arrest, and placed in the hands of Bailifi
Crane for execution. Tney succeeded in
keeping out of the officer’s way until yes
terday, when he succeeded in locating
Will Alien land Frank Wallace in the
lower part of the city, and during the dav
safely landed them behind the bars. Later
they were taken before Judge J. R. Barr,
who bound them over in the sum of $50
each to appear before him next Tuesday.
In default of bail they were sent to jail.
Early in the evening Bailiff Crane also
succeeded in capturing Cornelius Jackson,
another of the party, and he was also ac
commodated with apartments at the jail.
TAX MONEY COMING IN.
Over Ten Thousand Dollars Received Since
August 1.
ActiBg City Treasurer Moore has col
lected $10,611 96 tax money since August 1.
Of this sum $9052 03 were for taxes for 1SS9,
and $1564 93 were for taxes previous to
that year. On August 1 the taxes on real
estate, due ar>d unpaid for 1389, amounted
to about $50,000. This sum did not include
licenses taxes, or taxes on real estate due
due and unpaid previous to the beginning
of the present year.
At its last regular meeting the city coun
cil adopted a resolution instructing the
treasurer to issue executions against all
parties who failed to make immediate
payment of their taxes. The tax payers
nave been given due notice of the action
of council, and those who have not paid
their taxes should do so at once in order
to save the cost of executions.

New Crop Cotton Coming In.
New crop cotton has begun to come
into this market pretty freely. Ninety
bales of the new crop have been received
here to date. There is an active demand
in Columbus for the staple and the market
is firm, middling selling at lOJc.
Death of a Little Boy.
Little Dallis Munro, the seven-year-old
son of Mr. and Mrs. Win. Kimble, died at
their home, on Hamilton avenue, yester
day morning, after an illness of eight
days. The remains will be carried to the
.’family burying ground, at Hopeful church,
for iuterment to-day.
Excursion from Birmingham.
An excursion of colored people will
reach the city to-day at 1 o’clock from
Birmingham, and remain over until to
morrow. During the afternoon a match
•game of ball will be played at Exposition
park, between the Columbus Blues and
Birmingham Hornets. It is expected that
upwards of 500 excursionists will arrive.
Runaway Yesterday.
At an early hour yesterday morning, a
horse, belonging to Butcher Palmer, of the
Rose Hill market, ran away. The wagon
load of meat was scattered along the route.
_A young white boy, Tom Couch, was in
. charge of the wagon, and was thrown vio-
lently against one of the trees in the Rose
Hill park, and sustained some serious in
juries. He was picked up and carried to
his home, where his injuries were attended
to. The horse was captured some time af
terwards.
Sol Got Knocked Out.
At about noon yesterday screams, alter
nating with police and murder,were beard
issuing from a negro house in the tiixth
ward. Officer Ellison responded promptly
to the frantic appeals for help and found
Sol Atkins,colored,beatingjhis sister with;a
chair. He immediately proceeded to
place the negro under arrest, and was
stoutly resisted, the officer receiving a blow
in the eye which has greatly discolored
that organ. Mr. Ellison then resorted to
Lis club, and soon reduced the man to
submission. At this juncture Officer
O’Neal appeared upon the scene and as
sisted in placing Atkins behind the bars,
■where he will remain until an interview
can be had with the mayor.
• Created Some Excitement.
Considerable excitement was created for
a little while yesterday morning at the
intersection of Tenth street and Frst ave
nue. Two boys got into a fight in the
Rankin House alley and some one yelled
■“fight.” The firemen at the engine
bouses near by thought “fire” was the
word shouted, and shot up the street at
lightning speed. Stonewall No. 4 got out
first, and running to W. J. Watt’s corner
on Broad street hitched the hose to the fire
plug and dashed back to the rear of the
Rankin, thinking it was there the fire
would be found. Before the hose were
unreeled some one turned the water on
from Broad street, bat the prompt action
of Chief Bnrrus soon rectified the mistake
and the water was shut off.
The only damage done happened to
Chief Burras, who lost the rear section of
his pantaloons while trying to scale a lard
barrel at Daniel’s corner.

his client to the court tor such lienency as
was in accordance with his official duty.

oughly investigate the case and sift it to

WHAT THE FARMERS DID.
The Greatest Order In the World—They
Are Against All Combinations.
Tha Alliance convention finished its
work at Macon Thursday.
It will hardly be charged by tno3e who
favor jute and other trusts, and those who
favor railroad and other illegal combina
tions, that the farmers did not do their
work thoroughly and well.
They bad put their hands to the plow
and did not torn back. It may be stated
in passing that a good many consequen
tial ideas about farmers not being in favor
of legislation to enforce the state consti
tution ;were laid away under the sod.
They r yet retain enough of the spirit of
their fathers to maintain a constitution
that is threatened by combinations and
conspiracies.
The resolution adopted unanimously by
the convention demanding of the present
legislature the passage of some measure to
carry into effect the constitutional provis
ion against illegal combinations to defeat
or lessen competition was aimed directly
at the opponents of the bill which seeks
the enforcement of the constitution.
This was one result of the convention.
Another of great importance was the
consolidation of the Wneel, a split from
original Alliance in Texas—the Laborers
anion and the Farmers Alliance into one
tremendous order, to be known as the
National Farmers and Laborers Union of
America. It means that more than a mil
lion men have bound themselves in a close
union for their mutual benefit and to pre
serve their rights. These men represent
mere than 5,000,000 of population, and with
their influence probably 10,000,000. It is a
coliossal guild. The world has never seen
its equal since the crusades.
Another important achievment was the
determination and pledge to use nothing
but cotton fabric with which to cover
their cotton. This is the death knell of
the jute trust. The farmers kill one at a
time. Buyers have said they would give
the premium demanded, that is, eight
pounds to the bale, for cotton wrapped in
cotton bagging. The cloth Jbagging has
come to stay. The fear that there would
not be enough to cover this year’s crop
has proved unfounded. It was started by
the friends of jute. Cotton mills are
everywhere in the south offering to man
ufacture this bagging. There will be
enough of it.
The farmers demand that the tare of
eight pounds shall be allowed by alt mar
kets. The difference between two bales of
equal weight, one in jute and one in cot
ton, is more than eight pounds of clean
cotton in favor of cotton bagging. Tney
think they have a right to demand that
they get the benefit of these eight
pounds.
The price of cotton was fixed at 12$
cents by the Alliance convention. The
farmers say they cannot afford to raise
cotton for a less price. With the help of
the exchange they expect to be able to
control the crop. If they can do so, there
is no doubt but that they will be able to
secure the price demanded.
The farmers adopted a resolution urging
the legislature to appropriate money to
pay teachers to whom the state is in
debted. They say they consider these un
paid claims as a blot on the state.
They also expressed themselves in favor
of educating the masses. They want to be
gin the cultivation of a tree by properly
planting the seed, and carefully training
and pruning it, and not start at the top
most branches. They are in favor of the
common schools, to train up their boys
and girls to lead more useful and happier
lives.
They did and said many other things;
but one of their chief works was the closer
welding of their common interests and
purposes, the result of the most impor
tant, aggressive and yet withal most har
monious convention of farmers ever as
sembled in the world.
There was not a harsh sound, no jangled
bells, no discord, no clash. All went
merry as a wedding, though the greatest
and most ]vital interests of American,
especially southern, farmers were at stake.
One happy result of this harmony was
the unanimous selection of Hon. L. F.
Livingston as their president for the com
ing year.
Other results were the absolute and com
pact union of all in the objects aud plans
of the order, and the quick formulating
and agreeing upon the definite methods of
work.
It was a convention remarkable for its
accord, for the magnitude of the Interests
it deliberated upon, and for the prompt
courage with which remedies were pro
posed and adopted to pro ect the threat
ened rights of the farmers.—Staff cor. At
lanta Journal.
IN FAVOR OF FLEMING.
The Gubernatorial Contest in West Vir
ginia—The Democrats Win.
Wheeling, W. Va., August 23.—The
legislative committee on the gubernatorial
contest has commenced to read deposi
tions from Mercer and McDowell counties.
These are the two counties that the demo
cratic contestant alleges were colonized by
republicans. The plea is on the general
ground that the miners employed there
are negroes; that they were not citizens of
the state, and that they voted the repub
lican ticket; that they individually voted
the republican ticket because, being ne
groes, it was natural for them to do so. It
is now evident the committee will report
in favor of Fleming, the democratic con
testant, enough Goffites having already
been thrown out to settle that point. No
frauds on either side have been found, all
the votes thrown out being upon tech
nicalities. Tney are votes of men who
thought they had a right to vote and
whose votes were received by the judges
of the election. In many instances they
were votes of men who have been life
long residents of the state, but through a
misunderstanding of the new law, failed
to vote in the proper precincts in the
county in which they reside. Among
those thrown out was that of ex-Collector
of Internal Revenue Duval, and many
others of euqal prominence. In no case
has intentional fraud been shown.
CONFEDERATE CANNON.
Dug Up in New Mexico After Lying Buried
Twenty-Seven Years.
A dispatch dated Alberquerque, N. M.,
August 19, says: Last Friday Capt. Jack
Crawford and Maj. T. T. Teel arrived in
this city for the purpose of having Maj.
Teel locate the place where he had buried
some cannon in April, 1862. At that time
Albuquerque was in the possession of the
confederates, and Teel’s battery was part
of Gen. Sibley’s command. To prevent
the cannon from falling into the hands of
the union forces, Maj. Teel and some of
his officers buried the cannon at the dead
of night. The common soldiers knew
nothing of it. The other officers have
since died, or were killed, and Maj. Teel
alone knew the spot where the cannon
were buried He pointed out the spot
and went on his way to Ei Paso. To day
the digging was commenced, and but a
few feet from where he indicated the
cannon were found. Eight were un
earthed, and it is supposed others will be
found. They were six feet deep and when
taken out after twenty-seven years’ burial,
were as bright as on the day they were
buried. Tney quickiy turned black on
exposure. They are twelve-pound brass
howitzers, stamped U. S-, showing that
they had been captured from Uncle Sam,
and bear the marx of the manufacturers,
C. A & Co., Boston. It is supposed that
they were part of the McCrea battery cap
tured at Fort Craig.

An Incident Which Occas oued Much Inter
est in Berlin.
The English and American Register
(Berlin edition) has the foliowing account
of an incident that, for obvious reasons,
will become historical; A little Indian
baby less than a year old, the child ;or
papoose) of “Gray Eagle,” died last Sat
urday morning in the “tepee” or tent
home, in the wild American camp. Mr.
C. E. Blanchett, who is the United States
guardian of the Indians, called a physi
cian as soon as the little one was taken
sick, but medical aid could render but
little assistance. The child was bnried at
Louisien Kirchhof, Chariottenburg. All
of the Indians attended the funeral, tak
ing carriages from the camp to the
churchyard. Here at the gate of the lat
ter they formed in single line and headed
by Mr. Blanchett and the Sioux interpre
ter, filed slowly to the western end of the
cemetery. When the minister and a num
ber of ladies were in waiting the little
ccffin was lowered to its final resting
place, aod a number of floral offerings
that had been contributed by Mr. Whit- j
ney, Miss Lilli Whitney, Mr. Blanchett !
and several ladies from the Kaiserhof
were placed in and around the grave, j
This is the first Indian native buried in
Germany. The night before the burial
the Indians had a pow-wow in one of the i
large tepees, and went through the cus- j
tomary Indian ceremony.

Wooldridge’s Wonderful Cure,
Unlocks the Store House
Of Health aud Evicts
The Enemy.
Wooldridge’s Wonderful' Cure is
a happy combination of elemen
tary principals, adapted to antidote
certain specific poitons, and to ai-
lign itself with the vital forces to
restore natural energy. Its action
is upon the stomach, the intestines,
the liver, on all the glands and all
the other organs that have partin
making and purifying the blood.
Antidote, nutralize and expel
poison, and make pure blood and
you are not far from health. This
is what Wooldridge’s Wonderful
Cure does, and why it cures the
class of diseases that the certifi
cates show it has done.
Mrs. A. C. McGehee.
My wife has been afflicted for six years with
a most dreadful blood po son of some kind, called
salt rheum by eminent physicians. During this
period she was treated by several specialists.
Has taken aurntities of alfthe b oed purifiers on
the market, without realizing any special benefit.
She is now using Wooldridge’s Wonderful Cure,
a few bottles of which has made a complete cure.
I unhesitatingly recommend it as the best blood
purifier ever discovered. Yours truly,
A. C. McGehee.

I beg to announce that I have inaugurated the Club System of supplying a KULIVHI.
GOLD STEM WINDER WATCH payable in an easy way, and m answer to naai::.
inquiries relative to the working of this plan I wish to submit the following points for your c jus
eration aud perusal :
As soon as the number of subscribers amounts to, say sixty, the price of the watch to be p
chased, each subscriber will be notified that the list is closed;" and after each member of the cl
has made his first payment, it will be decided by lot who shall get the first watch. Thus the i
trioutions will take place week after week until all members shall be in the possess; ,n of the
watetes. After a member has received a watch, he will have to keep on paving his dollar per wee
the same as the other members until the watch is paid for $60.00'. and on receiving his watch h
has to give approved security for the future regular payments. Incase of the death of oue of th<
members, we are willing to refund the money paid in to the legal heirs or administrators: and
case a member should wish to withdraw, he can either find a substitute or take out other mercha
dise to the amount of his share paid in. If a party wants to pay more than $1.00 per week—say $2.
or $3.00—he can do so, and thereby increase the probability of coming sooner in possession of ti
watch.
