Messrs. l*ope At Fleming are heml

der induced the mills of that place to

them to the cotton dealers and farm

SOME WHAT PERSONAL.
We catne near forgetting to remark
that the grand jury is a fine looking
body of men.
Col. Fred Foster, of Madison, and
Judge GleatoH and Coi. Barton, of
Conyers, has been with us this week.
Allen’s Minstrels will give two per

and Friday evenings. Sept. 19th and
20th. The party is composed of 13
performers, all being thorough musi
cians, vocalists, dancers and conjedi
anus, headed by the well known ban
joist and musician, 11. G. Allen. Re
served seats 75 cents. For sale at
Wright’s Drug Store,
The ice creatn and cake festival giv
en at Brick Store, Thursday night, for
the purpose of raising funds to pur
chase seats for Mount Pleasant church,
was a grand success. After the feast
there was an impromptu entertain
ment gotten up and several interest
ing recitations delivered. Mr. James
G. Paine, Misses Grays, Capt. Graves,
Mrs. Anna Taylor and others taking
part in the pleasant exercises. Thanks
were returned for the liberal support
extended to the festival and the good
behavior thereat.
Through the untiring efforts of Col.
James G. Lester the sentence of Mr.
Robert W. Bagby, who was recently
convicted in Newton county of viola
ting the local option law, was com
muted Friday by Governor Gordon.
The court decreed that Mr. Bagby
should pay $250. On payment of the
costs he will now be set at liberty. A
strong appeal was made to the gover
nor to obtain his release. Col. Lester
secured the names of the county offi.
cers, the jury that found the verdict,
and other prominent citizens, praying
that the Governor relieve Mr. Bagby
of this fine. Col. Lester has a kind,
generous heart, that always warms to
anyone in misfortune, and he never
lets an opportunity pass to do good to
others.
The fall term of Newton superior
court convened at 1 o’clock p. m-,
Monday last. The Grand Jury se
lected Col. L. F. Livingston as fore
man, with Mr. F. M. Means, as sec

ton to the jury was clear and pointed.
The court settled down to business at
once and everything around the tem
plo of justice has Iwen busy since that
time. Nothing of a very interesting
nature has been brought out. In all
probability court will continue
through part if not all of next week.

LETTER FROM H. L. GRAVES.
Second Letter From the President of
Newton County Farmers’ Alliance.
Mu. Kiiitoii : bust week I had a few
things to aay to uimnbnra of the Alliance 1
will you kindly allow tut! *|>uce ful u idiori
talk to two other claim)* of our fellow citi
zen*,' First, I*l me *ay to our merchant
friend* that what 1 say to them i* not aim
ply the utterance of a single individual,
but 1 voice the sentiments of the Farmers
Alliuneemen ol New ton county, u body of
nearly one thousand men ; then whom
Newton county has no better citizen*. Men
who are not trifling, but are terribly iu
earnest. Now, we have no figlit to make
against our merchants; we have no de
mands to make that are not strictly in keep
ing with legitimate trade; we ask no rights
or privileges we do not wittingly accord to
others; in fact wo recognize our need of
the retail merchant and believe the natural
relation of the two classes is that of mutual
dependence and alliance. Therefore with
these sentiments we hold out our hands to
you and most earnestly iuvokc your co
operation.
We know that many hard things have
been said against by some of you; but we
cherish no resentment for we believe you
have not understood us, when you do you
will be our friends.
Now, I will venture to assert that there
is not a merchant ill Covisgton, who, if
asked, “do you not think the jute trust last
fall treated the farmers in a most i ni<jutoun
manner?” but would answer at once ‘Yes!’
‘Do you approve of tho trust ?' 'No, ‘Do
you not believe the farmers were justifiable
in rising against such treatment?' Yes.
I believe these are the universal sentiments
of the merchants —then have we not the
right to expect sympathy and help from
me® who feel this way ? Possibly you say
“I am ready to co-operate.” Then what are
we to think of men who talk that way and
yet persist in selling trust bagging, thus
aiding in the only way that can defeat us ?
Y ou seem to say “while we are in sympathy
with you, we are going to help your ene
mies all we can.” If every retail merchant
in the cotton states would absolutely refuse
to sell the miserable stuff the trust would
perish in a night. It cannot be denied
that the only hope these men have of keep
ing their bagging from rotting in their ware
houses is—that southern merchants will
turn their backs on the southern farmer
and become partieeps eriminis in their vile
scheme of plunder. Surely when you think
it over yog cannot lend yourselves as tools
in such a cause !
Some merchants are trying to justify
themselves in selling trust bagging by say
ing, 'Ve mast have the cotton to meet our
obligations and we do not believe there will
be enough cotton bagging to cover the
crop.” I reply —the mills have given us
their promise to supply all W'e need and it
will be time enough to look somewhere else
when it is proven there is a shortage ; and
besides -there is Dundee bagging and pie
ced bagging and many other coverings for
hales besides the trust stuff. One other
point -do not fear that you will notget the
cotton, or its equivalent jjj cash, for the
accounts you hold against us. \\ c are de
termined that no man shall remain in our
ranks who does not pay his debts to the ex
tent of his ability. We will not tolerate
any scheme that does not insure the dis
charge of obligations to the uttermost.
Now, a word to the farmers who are not
members of the Alliance: I do not propose
to criticize the reasons which have caused
you to withhold your names and influence
from our brotherhood. If you are satisfied
with your course we co not propose to
complain; but surely your good wishes
must be with us, and will you not help us
at least to the extent of bvyiug nothing but
cotton bagging and let the tiicst jute alone?
This is all we ask. Respectfully,
HENRY L. GRAVES.
Pres. Newton County Farmers Alliance.
Iu view of the long winter nights
before us that could be spent so pleas
antly and profitably, there is a move
ment on foot among gome in the com
munity to organize what they term
“luformals,” the object will he im
provement. Every one is expected to
enter without ringing at the door and
to feel perfectly at home. It is pro
posed to meet every two weeks at the
homes of the different members The
first meeting will be held at the resi
dence of Rev. Mr. W. 11. LaPrado,
on Monticelio street, on Monday ev
ening after court week, Sept. 30th.

Toach tho Boys About It.
At h( line ami at school tho hoys
should Iki taught the natural cfi'cct ol
alcohol upon the processes of htittmit
life. First, they should he taught
that it cult add nothing whatever to
the vital forces or to the vital tissues
—that it never enters into the ele
ments of structure ; second, that it
disturbs the operation of the hrnin,
and that the mind cun get no help
from it which is to he relied upon ;
third, that, alcohol inflames the baser
passions and debase the feelings;
fourth, that an appetite for drink is
certainly formed in those who use it,
which destroys the health, injures the
character, and in millions of instances
becomes ruinous to fortunes, anti to
all the high interests of the soul;
l fifth, that crime and pauperism are
directly caused by alcohol. So long
us 8*2,000,000 are daily spent for
drink in England, and 82,000,000 per
day in the United States, leaving lit
tle else to show for its cost but dis
eased stomachs degraded homes, de
sttoyed industry, increases pauperism,
and aggravate crime the boys should
understand the facts about alcohol,
and be able to act upon them.
The following paragraph from the
Christian Commonweath presents the
truth in a homely but forcible way:
“Look out for snakes 1 Twenty-five
snakes running through the streets —
that’s ‘free whisky.’ Twenty-five
snakes gathered into a box, in which
twenty-five holes are made by the au
thority of the court —that is ‘low li
cense.’ Ten of the holes are closed,
and the snakes all get out threugh
the oilier fifteen —that is ‘high license.’
Drive all the snakes over to tho next
village —that is ‘local option ;’ but
kill all the snakes —that is ‘prohibi
tion.’ We ask, Which is the safer or
better plan ?”
It is astonishing how rapidly the
feeble and debilitated gain strength
and vigor when taking Ayer’s Sarsa'
parilla. For what are called “biok
en-down constitutions,” nothing else
lias proved so effective as this power
erful but perfectly safe medicine.
WHY IS IT
That people linger along always com
plaining about that continual tired
feeling? One bottle of Beggs’ Blood
Purifier and Blood Maker will entire
ly remove this feeling, give them a
good appetite and regulate digestion.
