Some months since a meeting of the
Farmers’ Beneficial Union and Associa
tion, a colored farmers organization, was
held in Montgomery, at which it was de
cided to operate gins for the benefit of the
members of the association, or to secure
lower rates for ginning cotton from the
gins already established. The association
has located a public gin, which is the only
one it operates, about two miles from
Montgomery, and since it becan working
everything has progressed smoothly, the
gin doing good work, cleaning seed well,
and turning out a very good sample, while
no trouble whatever has been experienced
in its operation. The Farmers’ Beneficial
Union is spreading over the State of jAla-
bama, the colored farmers organizing, un
der the call of S. M. Duncan, president,
and T. M. McCray, secretary.
A dispatch from Redmond, Ala., says:
Two detectives-from Texas, John Wilson
and George Davis, arrested J. A. Parker
here last night on the charge of a double
murder which he was charged with having
committed in Comanche county, that
State. Parker proved that he was not the
man the detectives were searching for and
was released. He then had the detectives
arrested on the charge of carrying con
cealed deadly weapons. The officers were
in custody for a few hours when they were
released..
Miss Sallie Poole, a servant girl in the
family of Rev. T. R. McCarty, in Pied
mont, Ala., a small town twenty-five
miles north of Anniston, has fallen heir
to a fortune of $1,000,000, which was left
her by a rich uncle who recently died in
New York city. Miss Poole was not
aware that she had any relatives, and this
bequest comes in the nature of a great
surprise to her. She is a young girl yet
in her teens and has been working in An
niston for several years. She is a bright
intelligent girl, and has always endeared
herself to families with whom she
worked.
The Clarke county people are projecting
a development company to improve the
celebrated medicinal sulphur well at Jack-
son, build a sanitarium, a notel, and so
forth. The South Alabamian says that if
the well water can be brought to the top of
the hill—a rise of nearly two hundred feet
—with all its gas properties, freshness and
power, the boom is started.
The most remarkable death ever re
corded in Alabama occurred one day last
week in Coosa county. A young man
named Thomas Waits killed himself by
eating stones. The facts in the case are
vouched for by Dr. Williamson, a physi
cian of Verbena. In his youth Thomas
Waits contracted the habit of eating dirt
and red gravel stones. Along with his
years the abnormal appetite grew. For
some months before his death he had
been at work on the South and North Ala
bama Railroad, employed on a gravel
train. While working on the gravei train
he could not get such stones as he had
been eating, and finally he would eat hard
flint gravel or any other sort he could get.
He would swallow white stones, and if
some pebbles were too large to be swal
lowed whole he would break them into
smaller pieces. He still continued to
work until a short time before his death,
when he got sick and went home. Doctor
Williamson was not called until a day or
two before he died. The physician’s ex
amination showed that it was a hopeless
case. Young Waits had gone too far with
the stone-eating habit and was alradv be
yond the hope of recovery.
A SKETCH OF HISTORIC ALEXAN
DRIA.
POINTS OF INTEREST ALONG THE PIED
MONT AIR-LINE.
Washington, October 4.—[Special.]—
In old Alexandria, eight miles down the
Potomac from Washington, is a depot.
Located in an old-fashioned street hangs
a board sign inscribed with the following
legend:
* AU X0
..■...^?™i“ gton 8 Milea - : Atlanta Ml Miles, j
Although the traveler is quickly trans
ported through Alexandria, across mead
ows and over the famous long bridge into
the brilliantly lighted city, the extreme
northern terminus of the Richmond and
Danville railway system is fixed in this
ancient seaport close in to its commercial
heart.
* * *
Alexandria itself is a town full of in
terest to the antiquarian, and is in fact
one of the ancient corporations in the
Old Dominion. In its early history it
was a military depot of no ordinary im
portance. Within its gates Braddock
organized the famous expedition which
ended so disastrously at | Fort Du Queesne.
During the War of 1812 Admiral Cock-
bum approached it with his British fleet
and held it under his guns while Lord
Ross hastily sacked the Federal capital.
On one of its principal streets the hotel
is yet standing over which the stars and
bars floated early in the war of secession,
and the removal of which cost brave
Jackson his life. On another street is
a church, in which Washington wor
shiped, and the pew in which he knelt in
prayer is still preserved and pointed ou£
to visitors. On still another street is the
headquarter house of General Braddock,
built of English brick and more enduring
today than many of its modern neighbors.
* * *
It is to be questioned if any railway line
in all the land covers so much historic
ground as does this Richmond and Dan
ville route from Washington to Atlanta.
One hour out from the District line and
the traveler finds himself in the midst of
the cedar brakes and undulating slopes of
Bull Run battlefield. Nature, like a good
Samaritan, has effaced the scars of that
mighty conflict, but the green hill slopes,
the sombre thickets and sluggish stream
remain, and will always remain, to be
viewed with weired interest by the student
and stranger.
* * *
The glib brakemen call out the names
of stations, every one of which stirs the
memory and reawakens interest in the
lurid events that once made them famous.
Every name is embalmed in history. Ma
nassas, Catlett’s, Warrenton, North Anna,
South Anna, Fairfax! Every rod of this
soil has been crimsoned with the blood of
a soldier or illustrated by his deeds of
valor. Every bridle path, every railway
was once a thoroughfare for maching in
fantry or charging troopers! How restful
and peaceful the landscapes are today with
their gentle herds and quiet homes!
* * *
In the State of North Carolina, south
ward from picturesque Danville and its
smiling river, is old Guilford Court House,
another historic spot, on which Green with
his raw militia vainly strove to stem the
foray of Cornwallis into the fruitful fields
of Virginia. Wearied and dispirited by a
long retreat from the high hills of Santee,
Green’s raw levies were unable to meet
the shock of British steel. They yielded,
and the scarlet line swept over them, sub
sequently to meet its fate at Yorktown.
* * *
Another field in plain view from the
windows of the speeding coaches—King’s
Mountain, in South Carolina—where the
intrepid Morgan and his riflemen com
posed the defeat of Tory, Colonel Furger-
son. What a story is written on the shaggy
slopes of this giant range! How meagerly
history paints the sufferings and the endu
rance and the valor of those early patriots!
* * *
This Piedmont railway is of such prime
commercial importance to Georgia and the
South that any improvement in its service
must be regarded as a matter of general
moment. Some years ago when the lines
that constitute it were consolidated under
one management, the recent sched
ule of twenty-four hours was
looked upon as an achievement. And it
was an achievement over all former sched
ules. But railway systems, like other ap
pliances, must keep abreast with the times
in which they are operated. New machin
ery and heavier, a more substantial road
way, and iron bridges, admits of swifter
schedules. The announcement is made
that the time between Washington and
Atlanta has been reduced to nineteen
hours. To accomplish this magnificent
run an outlay for the best machinery has
been made. These through trains will
make few stops, and will be provided with
all the comforts known to modern railway
travel. Sleeping cars, buffets, library and
smoking cars, gas lighted, steam heated
and vestibuled throughout will constitute
the equipment. No such trains are oper
ated in the Southern States.
In closing this sketch it may not be
amiss to say that much of the popularity
of the road in its every department is due
to the energetic and polite character of its
officials. Under the management of Capt.
James L. Taylor the passenger service es
pecially has been popularized and brought
up to a very high state of efficiency.

THE COTTON CROP AND THE ALLIANCE—
OTHER NEWS.
Birmingham, Ala., October 4.—[Spe
cial.]—The Farmers’ Alliance of Alabama
is still agitating and putting into practice
the scheme of holding cotton for better
prices and having money advanced on
storage cotton. In Montgomery yesterday
the Alliance leaders held an important
meeting for the discussion of this subject.
Sixty-two out of the 66 counties in the
S^ate were represented. President S. M.
Adams, of the State Alliance, presided.
George F. Gaither, manager of the Alli
ance Exchange, with headquarters in this
city, was on hand and presented a plan to
enable the farmers to hold cotton and se
cure better prices. The scheme was unani
mously endorsed. The details of it have
not yet been fully made public, but it is
known the Alliance has arranged to ad
vance #35 on every bale of cotton raised in
Alabama. They wont say where they got
the money from, but they have it, and no
body disputes this fact.
Further, Manager Gaither has traveling
agents all over the State looking after the
matter of collecting cotton together and
storing it at certain central points and ar
ranging every detail of a plan which, if it
succeeds, is sure to work good results to
the cotton growers of Alabama.
MANAGER HARRIS’ CARD.
John B. Harris, manager of the cotton
department of the State Alliance Exchange
in this city, has just addressed a card
through the Alliance Herald to the Alli
ance warehousemen of Alabama, to each
and every county alliance, to each and
every sub-Alliance, and to each and every
individual Allianceman throughout the
length and breadth of Alabama. The card
gives farmers directions how to hold and
ship their cotton to Liverpool, or sell it to
the Alliance Exchange, as the producer
sees fit.
He advises fanners to bulk their cotton
in lots of from 100 to 1,000 bales, and,
after getting a rate, ship it direct to Liver
pool, and the Alliance Exchange will pay
for it on the middling basis at Liverpool
prices. According to this, it looks like the
Alliance Exchange has struck a little gold
mine somewhere, as its managers say they
are ready to buy 500,000 bales at Liverpool
prices.
SHORT COTTON CROP.
With *11 their bright hopes, there is a
feeling of depression among the farmers of
Alabama on account of the big falling off
in the cotton crop that is sure to result
from the incessant rains. Manager
Gaither, of the Alliance Exchange, has re
ceived reports from all parts of the State
that the rains have been almost continuous
for the past'three or four weeks—so much
so, in fact, that what cotton was open
could not be picked, and much of it is
sprouting in the burr, and a great deal of
it that has not opened is rotting in the
field. One thing is sure, though, and that
is that the situation here is not as serious
in that respect as in Mississippi and other
Southern States. There will be a large
falling off in the Alabama cotton crop, but
the damage is much greater in Mississippi,
especially in the bottoms, where cotton is
late.
The falling off in Alabama will proba
bly be about 10 per cent., and not greater
unless the incessant rains continue, which
appears probable now. The general fall
ing off of the crop in the South is estimat
ed by the New York Cotton Exchange at
about 12£ per cent, thus far. It was the
hope of the Alliancemen of the South to
run this year’s crop up to 8,000,000 bales,
but the New York Exchange says present
indications are that it will not exceed
7.000. 000, thus making a falling off of
1.000. 000 from rain alone.
ALABAMA UNIVERSITY.
The State University at Tuskaloosa
opened up on the first day of the month
under auspicious circumstances and with
a very flattering outlook. There were 150
students in attendance, with new ones
coming in on every train. Gen. Jones,
the new president, is already winning
favor with the students, and indications
are that he will prove an able head of a
great institution.
MAYORALTY CONTEST.
The Mayoralty contest in Birmingham
has again evened down to two candidates.
They are Col. B. L. Hibbard and Hon. A.
O. Lane, with the latter always in the
lead. Col. Hibbard withdrew from the
race, once, but re-entered it again at the
urgent request of his friends. Hon. R. J.
Lowe was urged by the friends of three of
the late candidates to run for Mayor, but
he very sensihlv declined. As the general
result is already known, the contest has
ceased to be of much interest now.
THE STATE FAIR.
The State Fair opens in Birmingham on
the 20th instant. It will continue- until
November 1. Already exhibits are being
received, and the grounds have been
thrown open to exhibitors. Everything
is favorable for a big show. It now seems
probable that Hon. James G. Blaine will
visit Birmingham and speak at the fair.
He is considering Manager Burke’s invita
tion now. Manager Burke returned from
Washington a few days ago, where he
called on the President and Mr. Blaine.
The former could not come to Alabama on
that occasion.
The marriage of the couple from Brew-
ton—Mr. Mims and Miss Pittman—in the
balloon, and their honeymoon through the
clouds, will be the feature of it all. Marion
Stewart Cann, a well known newspaper
man, who recently returned here from
Kentucky, will go up with them to write
up the trip. Cann is better known as the
“silent eye.” Eli P. Smith.

and, entirely unsolicited, grants the manufacturers the sole
right of styling their works the Royal Cocoa Factory, a sig

RED HOT PRICES
oust-
UNDERWEAR. FLANNELS and BLANKETS!
-00-
Rather hot to talk about goods of this kind at present, did you say? Still we must.
Our New York buyer has left us no alternative, having shipped us last week ten cases
of Woolens, the proceeds of a bursted Woolen Mill, sold under the hammer at 50 cents
on the dollar. This amount added to our regular stock makes the largest collection of
these goods ever shown in this market. Commencing Monday morning and continu
ing through the week, we will offer to wide awake buyers anything in the Flannel,
Blanket or Underwear UnB at fully 33 per cent, less than regular prices. Should you
doubt it, call and see us and we will name you prices, backed by gilt edge values, that
will remove any donbt you may have on the subject.
Underwear, Ladies’, Children’s and Men's,
From a 20c Cotton Undershirt to the finest manufactured real Medicated White Sax
ony Wool, and an extensive variety of natural wool, the latter so highly recommended
for health, and patented by Dr. Jaggard, of New York. Be wise in buying Underwear
now while’ you can save money. Our prices will help you do it.
BLANKETS. BLANKETS.
How hot to talk Blankets yet. We can sell you some to suit the weather—light
weight wool, and some of those Alabama Wool, large size, at #1 a pair. From that
we ascend step by step until we reach those famous California Blankets at #5, #6, #8,
#10, etc., and a few higher.
FLANNELS. FLANNELS.
When we come to talking about Flannels truth telling will certainly sound like
exaggeration. No such stock, variety or prices anywhere. We could fill a column of
descriptive matter about them, and yet you would not know it all. Come to our
Woolen Counter, and if you are Flannel wise you will be able to appreciate our goods
and prices in this department.
For Monday 100 pieces Fruit of the Loom Bleaching at 7£c yard. Not over a dol

DRESS GOODS. DRESS GOODS.
Silently, but surely, the ladies of Columbus are beginning to discriminate between
real and fictitious values. The intelligent eye and comprehensive judgment of well
posted buyers are daily deciding in our favor, and as consequence our sales in this
department are increasing. In order to stimulate Dress Goods sales the present week,
we will knock the prices flat on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday about 25 per cent,
under present values, or so low that a cash boy can sell more dresses than an expert
salesman. Call, examine, study and compare our goods and prices on those days, and
you will wonder how it is done.
. Q-LOYES.
Kid Gloves, a nice fitting, reliable glove, next to a nice dress is something every
lady appreciates. We have them for #1 a pair in tans and black. They are worth
more, but to introduce them a dollar is our price.
CORSETS.
The Kabo Corset is still the wonder of wonders, and by this time is able to take
care of itself. Not made of bone or steel, but Kabo; not a bone of contention, but a
Corset bone; not a Corset bone, but Kabo—wonderful, mysterious Kabo. Lookout
for worthless imitations. Sold only at 1012.
