Notes From Meeting and Field of Interest
of Farmers.
The alliances of Washington county
will meet at Sandersville, Nov. 23.
Dixie alliance of Brooks county, at a
recent meeting, took a decided stand
against adopting a trade store.
There will be a meeting of the Brooks
county alliance in Quitman on Nov. 20,
for the purpose of getting in proper

purposes.
John D. Kowan, of McDonough, made
600 bushels of sweet potatoes on an acre
and dug them in August. It is estimated
that if he had let them take the later
rains and fully mature that they would
have made 100 bushels more.

Weighing 500 pounds each, 200 bushels

corn. On a five-mule crop he made 67
hales of cotton.
The Unpleasant Predicament of Albert
Fields, of Albany.
From the Macon Telegraph.
It seems from what occurred in A1
bany last week, that the recent burglaries
have inspired the youths to engage in
the risky business.
Albert Fields, the son of Mr. L. T.
Fields, after attending the exhibition of
Professor Butt’s paintings, decided that
he would try his hand at the burglary
business. He went to his father’s gro
cery store and sought an entrance. Not
having a key he .decided to try the chim
ney flue. He ascended to the roof,
pulled off his coat and vest and started
down feet foremost,.
The chimney is built stack fashion,
with a dividing wall, 'and Albert soon
found himself in such close quarters that
he could neither go up or down, and
saw that he would smother to death if
he remained in that position long. He
saw the game was up, and set to lustily
calling for help. No doubt but that he
would have remained there until snffo
cated if the watchman at the Savannah,
Florida and Western depot, just across
the street, had not heard him and went
to his rescue.
When the watchman found out what
was the matter he sent for the young
man’s father, who came and opened the
store, and with some friends tore away
part of the brick, thereby releasing the
neatly trapped would-be burglar.
When released, Albert’s father asked
him what were his intentions, where had
he started and what did he want? His
only reply was:
“I don’t know, sir.”
Albert is about twenty-one years old,
the reckless son of one of Albany's best
men and most highly respected citizens,
and when this humiliating story was
spread over Albany last week the many
friends of tho family were deeply griev
ed that a hoy with such bright prospects
and social standing should he guilty of
such a foolish act. It is reported that he
was under the influence of liquor when
the rash step was taken.

A Cough of Twenty Years Cured.
My Mother had a cough for twenty
years, pneumonia leaving herwith abran
chial trouble. Two years ago, her lungs
becoming involved, she became very much
emeiated and lost all strength, being un
der regular treatment of a physician and
taking medicine all hours of the day.
This continued until a year ago when I
saw your advertisement of Dr. Acker’s
English Remedy for consumption and
procured a bottle, as the tickling in her
throat was unremitting and so irritating
as to make talking impracticable. She
was so much relieved that another bottle
was procured and we now buy by the
case, she never being without it. She
has no physician and takes no other medi
cines. She remarked lately that if she
had not procured it when she did she
would now be dead. We have recommen
ded it to others, who always receive ben
efit from it. If anyone desiring further
particulars will address me with a stamp
I will answer with pleasure, as I deem it
the best cough medicine made. A trial
only is necessary to convince anyone of
its merit. Very respectfully,

The Men Who Succeed in Business.
An ancient philosopher on being asked
how to succeed replied: “Do as success
ful men do.” This may he true in the
sense intended, but it is practically im
possible to a great extent, as no two per
sons are surrounded by exactly the same
circumstances. There is one thing, how
ever, in which we oan and should imitate
successful business men if we too would
succeed, and that is in advertising; for
successful business men almost invariably
are large advertisers.
HE CALLS HIM A LIAR.
Senator Wade Hampton and Postmaster
General Wauamaker.
The following letter from Senator
Wade Hampton- to Postmaster General
John Wanamaker, which is made public,
explains itself:
Glen Allan, Miss., Nov. 8,1889.—Hon.
John Wanamaker—Sir: The enclosed ex
tract from the South Carolina papers has
caused me great surprise, for perhaps you
may remember, if your memory is not
treacherous, your assurance to me a few
days ago that Mr. Gibhes should not he
removed until the expiration of his term>
in February next. Not only did you do
this, but you voluntarily assured me that
inasmuch as Columbia was my postoffice
you would, when a successor to Mr. Gibhes
was to he appointhd, consult me.
It is a matter of small importance to
me who takes the place of Mr. Gibhes,
but as I informed him, in passing through
Columbia, nf the promise you had made,
you may, perhaps, understand how your
action has-placed me in a false position.
But it is fortunate for me that Mr.
Gibhes will know that I, at least, told him
the truth, though I was grievously deceiv
ed in believing what was said to me. I
shall know better in future what reliance
to place on statements emanating /rum
the same source.
The newspapers state that besides
managing the great department ovef
which you preside, you are running a
Sunday school in Philadelphia, and it oc
curs to me that you might with profit to
yourself select as the most appropriate
subject of a lecture to your pupils the
instructive story of Ananias and Sap-
phira. This would give you a fine field
for your eloquence in explaining to your
young charges the importance of con-
fining themselves to the - truth, except
where some faucied advantage might be
obtained over a political opponent. I
am yhur obedient servant,
Wade Hampton.

A Clever Theft.
From tbe Savannah News.
A clever theft was committed by a
colored house girl on Bull street, in this
city, a day or two ago. A lady left the
girl to mind a baby carriage in front of
a store where the lady did some shopping.
When she returned to the carriage the
girl was missing, and also a silver
napkin ring which the child had to play
with. The ring was very heavy, and was
prized highly, as it was a wedding pres
ent. The husband of the lady, on being
informed of the theft, turned detective.
A half hour later he paid Pawnbroker
Muhlbur 60 cents for the napkin ring.
The ink on the pawn ticket had not
dried. The pawnbroker said that the
girl had just left the ring with him, and
he had just given her 60 cents on it.
The name of the girl was taken and a
warrant sworn out for her arrest. A dili
gent search proved fruitless, however.
Treasurer's Report.
The annual report of United States
Treasurer Houston shows that the sur
plus revenues of the hist year were near
ly $88,000,000. It is expected that, with
the wholesale pension and other expen
ditures, this year will show a further de
crease. The public debt, however, de
creased during the year some $120,000,-
000 which, of course, lessens future ex
pense for interest. When every deserv
ing soldier shall have been given a pen
sion and all expenses of the govern
ment met, there will still be la surplus.
The amount of this surplus will increase
as the public debt decreases. It is a
matter which needs immediate attention.
The fact that this year’s surplus is some
thing less than that of a year ago does not
remove the necessity of providing against
over-taxation in the future.
Can’t Dun by Postal Card.
Rudolph Sternsdoff, the agent in this
country for a Berlin, Germany, bitters
company, and also for an imported saus
age concern in the same place, with his
head-quarters in Buffalo, has been ar
rested by the United States authorities
for sending several postal cards to a firm
in Lockport, Tully & Co., in which he
dunned tl< em for a small bill and after
tlieir n;imjL s W rote the letters, “D. B
Sternsdof> was fleifi for the JJnited States
district C^urt. This is the first case
_fchu. kiu I '/.e»-%r.»iig5if before the United
States counts and will "be patched with
general interest. The law in the matter
is substantially as follows :| “All matter
upon any envelope, outside cover, o r
wrapper, or any postal card upon which
any delineations, epithets, terms, lan
guage, &c., defamatory or threatening in
character, or calculated by the terms or
manner or style of display, and obviously
intended to reflect injuriously upon the
character or conduct of another, that
may be written or printed, are declared
non-mailable matter, and any person that
shall knowingly deposit such matter for
circulation, and cause the same to be
taken from the mails, shall for each and
every offense, upon convinction, be fined
not more than $5,000 or impisonment at
hard labor for not more than five years
or both.” This law was passed June 18,
1888.
DEATH IN THE DEIFTS.
PILFERED PARAGRAPHS.
THE STORY OF THE FATE OF THE
FROZEN COWBOYS.
Harrison and His Fledges.
The Albany Journal, state Republican
organ, says:
There are several thousands of post-
offices in the state of New York now
filled by democrats that will in the course
of a year be regained by republicans, as
part of the legitimate spoils of last fall’s
victory.
President Harrison, in his letter of ac
ceptance, said:
The law should have the aid of i
friendly interpretation and be faith
fully and vigorously enforced. All ap
pointments under it should be absolutely
free from partisan considerations and in
fluence. * * * * In appointments to
every grade and department, fitness, and
not party service, should be the essential
and discriminating test, and fidelity and
efficiency the only sure tenure of office.
Only the interests of the public service
should suggest removals from office.
* * * It will, however, be my sin
cere purpose, if elected, to advance the
reform.
There is considerable difference be
tween the two sentiments. The former
is expressed when there is no necessity
of catching votes, the latter, as develop
ments and the shameless utterances of
party newspapers show, was purely vote-
catching. Was it not likewise hypocrit
ical? Harrison is a daisy!
A Woman’s Discovery.
‘Another wonderful discovery has been
made and that too by a lady in this county.
Disease fastened its clutches upon her
and for seven years she withstood its
severest tests, but her vital organs _ were
undermined and death seemed imminent.
For three months she coughed incessantly
and could not sleep. She bought of us a
bottle of Dr. King’s New Discovery for
consumption and was so much relieved
on taking first dose that she slept all
night and with one bottle has been mirac
ulously cured. Her name is Mrs. Luther
Lutz.” Thus writes W. C. Hamrick & Co.,
of Shelby, N. C. Get a free trial bottle
at S. J. McKnight’s Drug Store.
The country should be gratified to
know that the result of the recent elec
tions has not affected the esteemed Mr.
Harrison’s appetite for pie. We glean
this important information from a late
Washington paper.
Four Other Men Belonging to the Same
Party Missing and Believed to be Dead
—A Mustang’s Noble Effort to Shield
His Dying Master from the Piercing
Blasts That Were Killing mw».
A special from Trinidad, Col., to the
Denver Republican says: “The bodies of
John Martin and Henry Miller, the cow
boys frozen to death near Sierra Grande
in last week’s terrible blizzard, were
brought to Folsom for burial. Four oth
er men belonging to the same party are
missing, and it is feared that they are
dead. It is reported by parties who
know that at least twenty men are miss
ing from the range, and it is feard that
many never will be fovnd.
Jolly and Wise, who escaped badly
frozen, tell a heartrendiug story of their
sufferings. When the blizzard struck
them Wednesday night of last week, they
were holding a heard of 2,500 cattle.
The wind became a hurricane before
morning, and when they went on their
last guard about 3 o’clock in the morn
ing the storm was so blinding that they
could not hold the herd. Jolly started
to the camp for help. In the meantime
Miller and Wise had left the camp to as
sist in holding the cattle. Jolly could
not find the camp, and Miller and Wise
could not find the herd. All three were
drawn together by shouting, and they
wandered around till daylight, when
they found Martin. The cold was so
bitter that the men entered a ravine, and
after fastening their horses took the sad
dle blankets and buried themselves in a
snow drift about 3 o’clock in the after
noon. It was only by the greatest ef
forts that Jolly and Wise succeeded in
keeping awake.
They were slightly apart from Mar
tin and Miller and had difficulty in talk
ing to each other. The snow piled upon
them and they were forced to seek anoth
er drift. About 4 o’clock Friday morning
Miller called Jolly and Wise and told
them they had better all go. When they
crowded out they made a search in the
drift for Miiler and Martin. The latter
only could be found, and he was dead*
They took their horses and started; lead
ing them.
“Soon they found Miller on his / ^ ppg

sheepherder found him and took him to
Rhodes’ ranch, a few miles away. The
men returned to where Miller had been

The Ryals Cottage.
Cabtebsville, Ga., Nov. 11, 1889.
To the brethren of the Middle Chero
kee Association:—Many of you will re
member that at the last meeting of our
body, at Dalton, an effort was begun to
raise an amount of money sufficient to
build at Mercer University in Macon,
house for students to be known as the
“Ryals Cottage,” byway of compliment
to our honored moderator, who is also
professor of theology in the University,
A number of brethren, promising for
themselves and for their churches, sub
scribed about half the amount necessary,
and many other brethren promised that
they would make an earnest effort when
they went home to get their churches to
take part in this laudable enterprise. As
the matter ,was left with me for comple
tion, I now appeal to all these brethren
to begin to send in their contributions,
whether for themselves or their churches,
as soon as possible, that work on the
buildings may be soon commenced.
This building is very much needed /fry
reason of the rapidly increasing num
ber of pupils now entering the universi
ty, many of whom will be shut off from
all opportunity for education at Mercer
unless the number of these cottages can
greatly increased. '>
To those who were not present at the
meeting of the association I will state,
that by means of these cottages which
are furnished free to students, board can
be had at from nine to ten dollars per
month, while the other boarding houses
do not charge less than eighteen to
twenty dollars per month. Many a poor
man could pay ten dollars per month for
his boy, who could not possibly pay
eighteen or twenty dollars. Here, then,
is an opportunity to help poor deserving
young men—young men in the ministry
and out of the ministry—and in their
education greatly enlarge and increase
the influence and power of this grand old
school of the fathers.
I hope that brethren, who feel that the
Lord has been good to them, will at once,
or very soon, send a contribution for this
cause, for themselves, and then persuade,
their churches to do the same thing.
Please attend to it, brethren, as soon as
possible.
I would prefer that all amounts for
this work be sent to Rev. George R.
McCall, D: D., Macon, Ga., but if more
convenient, brethren can send to me at
Carters ville. Fraternally,
Wm. H. Cooper.

Murder of a Georgia Detective.
From the Columbus Enquirer-Sun.
Capt. W. P. Manly, of Atlanta, has re
ceived a letter from a friend in the west,
giving an account of the atrocious mur
der of Detective James R. Odom, who is
well-known in Georgia. During the last
month he started to Mexico from Bir
mingham, Ala., and had $50,000 or $60,-
000 in cash in his possession. He placed
the money in a small hand-sachel, saying
that no one would suspect that he had
so much with him. On Oct. 3, just after
he had crossed the Rio Grande, from El
Paso, Tex., he was waylaid by a Mexican
border robber and shot dead.. There
were several companions near by, and one
of them heard the shot and ran to his as
sistance. He arrived just in time to see
the robber grab the sachel and run for
dear life. The detective had received
his death wound, and only spoke a few"
words about his mother before hd
breathed his last. His mother lives near
Palmetto.
A Weak, Unscrupulous President.
From the New York World.
President Harrison showed himself to
be a willing participant*in the plot to
steal a state, by the indescent haste with
which he issued the proclamation admit-
ing Montana to the union. This action
was the trick of an unscrupulous parti
san, not the deliberate and dignified pro
ceeding of a president of the United
States. It was of a piece with the action
of the state canvassing board on Montana
in accepting the “elimination” of a demo
cratic precinct, and returning^ a republi
can legislature as elected, while the con
test over this district was pending in the
courts.
