The Constitution made a scoop
of the latest developments in the
Hawes, Birmingham tragedy, on

big daily.
Col. L. F. Livingston was elected to
fill the place of President E. H. Jackson.
Now, if he can keep polities ont of his

some good, but we doubt very much
that he will succeed in doing so.—Far

L time in the house. It may

other era of reconstruction. It seems
that radical hate of the South will
never cease to be the rallying cry of
fanatics at (ho North. It is gratify
ing to know that thousands and thou
sands of conservative Northern men
are opposed to any more reconstruction
in the South.
Mr. Jeramiah Rusk who has just
become an ex-governor of Wisconsin
doesn’t like private life. He wants
to be a member of the cabinet
was a candidate for the presidential
nomination at Chicago last year.
The members of the Wisconsin legis
lature have signed a petition for his
. appointment, and a committee visited
Gen. Harrison the other day in his
interests. Gen. Harrison might find
it a good plan to appoint all his com
petitors at the Chicago convention
members of his cabinet. The list
would include Mr. Blaine, Mr. Depew
Gen. Alger, Senator Sherman, Judge
Gresham and ex-Goy. Rusk, each
one ot whom might thus be side
tracked so as to give Gen. Harrison
the road in 189*.—News.
The Governor spent last season at
the Mitcell, and made friends of eve
ry one whom he met. His Georgia
friends would as soon see him in the
cabinet as any republican in the
country.
One of the interesting questions
that nas occupied the public mind
during Mrs. Cleveland’s term as
mistress ot the white house, has
been “will the bustle go?” The
question seems likely to give way to
another, equally as interesting.
“Will the decollctte dress go?” Mrs.
Harrison is opposed to the decollette
dress: Her milliner insists that she
shall wear one at the inauguration
ball, and Mrs. Morton is understood
to have taken sides with the milliner,
but at last accounts Mrs. Harrison
had declned to relinquish the high-
necked dress. A deadlock was thus
brought about between Mrs. Harri
son and her milliner, and the world
of fashion will wait with a good deal
of interest for it to be broken.—News.
A It nee War in Illinois.
Chicago, Feb. 5.—A dispatch from
Marion, III., says: “What threatens
to prove a serious race war has broken
out in this city. A few weeks ago the
firm of F. M. Westbrook & Sons, to
bacco packers, imported a number of
oolored men to work in *thcir factory,
claiming that thero are no white men
capable of performing tho work of
stemming and stripping.
WHITE MEN ENRAGED.
This action on the pa*rt of the
company greatly enraged a number
of the white workmen, and they sent
notices to the colored men warning
them to leave town within ten days,
or receive summary punishment.
Threats were made to burn the fact-
cay and homes of the imported la
borers. But little attention was paid
to their threats, and Saturday night a
lot of men went to the home of Lo
gan Collins, 1 Mie colored bess, and
fired five shets into his bouse.
Collins procured a revolver and re
turned the fire, but no one was hurt on
either side. The factory owners say
that they will not discharge the new
men, and an outbfeak is believed to be
imminent.’ 1
If Billy Chandler and his sort will
turn their attention to Northern out
rages awhile they msy find something
to interest them.
I he Best Policy.
TheCommissioner of Agriculture
of Georgia showed in his last report
that the 'farmers ot this*state, who
bought bacon and com on credit last
year* paid for them more than 6 per
iWo* cent, a month more than the same ar-
—— tidescost for cash.
v The average cash price of bacon
was 9.71 cents a pound, and the av
erage credit price was 12 3 cents.
The average cash price of corn wa3
77 cents a bushel, and the average
credit price was 98 cents. Very few
farmers paid cash for these things,
and none ot them could afford to pay
credit prices.
Another burden they have to bear
is the tax, under the. high protective
system, upon nearly every article of
comfort for their families. Consider
ing these things, it is not strange that
they should be in debt.
The farmers expect to be benefit
ed by the Farmers’ Alliance, and it is
highly probable that a non-political
alliance, properly conducted, would
benefit them; but no organization can
help them very ereatly if they contin
ue to buy at ruinous prices what they
ought to raise. The alliance men
succeed in obtaining a ^eduction in
the prices of provision^ -but why
should they buj their provisions? Why
not raise them? The farmer who
raises everything hefconsumes, wheth
er he be a member of the alliance or
not, is theJirrmer who will get out of
eep out ot debt and lay up
money. Some ot the county allian
ces have agreed to pursue this policy.
It is a good policy and one that, if
adopted and adhered to by every
county alliance in Georgia, would be
the salvation of the formers. Neith
er the cost nor credit prices of provis
ions would then be of any very great
interest to them*—News.

A Difference of Opinion
A few days ago the Charleston
News and Courier had an article on
the cotton crop, in which it spoke of
its magnificent prospects and esti
mated the total crop of the present
season at 7,600,000 bales. The
Charleston World characterizes this
estimate as an absurd exaggeration
and the Greenville (S. C.) News ac
cuses the News and Courier of de
pressing the market by publishing
figures which it ought to have known
would not be borne out by the
facts.
It is difficult to understand how
so careful a paper as the News and
Courier could have made this esti
mate. It far outruns the largest fig-
gures at the other ports. In New
Orleans estimates of the crop now
being marketed vary from 6,750.000
bales to 7,200,000 bales. Here is a
difference of 450,000 bales, but the
cotton statistician ot the News and
Courier is 300,000 bales in advance
of the extreme New Orleans prog
nosticator.
Those who believe that the crop
will fall short of 7,000,000 bales are
in the majority. We are now over
300,000 bales short of the receipts at
this date last season. While all the
mills are in operation and the cotton
goods trade is unusually prosperous,
spinners in this country and abroad
have, perhaps, the smallest total
stock they ever carried. They are
deterred from making large purchas
es by the widely varying estimates
of the crop, and buy as close to their
immediate needs as possible. The
difference between this crop and the
last at corresponding dates has been
narrowed considerably within the
last month, but there is no reason
to doubt that the outside New Or
leans limit, namely, 7,200,000 bales,
will not be amply large.—Macon

Mrs. Nancy Ann Strahan, aged 90,
who probably leaves the largest num
ber ofdescedcnts of any person in
Louisiana. Mrs. Strahan, formerly
Alderman, was born in North Caroli

nelius Strahan, of South Carolina,
born in 1796. The two moved to
Georgia in 1818. thence to Missis
sippi in 1840, and to Louisiana in
i860. Mr. Strahan died last year;
after seventy-one years of married
life. They had sixteen children, fit-
teen of whom are living in Southern
Mississippi and Eastern Louisiana*
who, with their descendents, make a
veritable army, as follows : Children
x55 grandchildren, 99; great-grand
children, 217; great-greatgrandchil

They are scattered through Han
cock, Marion and Pike counties, Miss,
and Washington parish, La., and are
among the best citizens of that sec
tion, and are noted for their vigor,
industry and religious zeal. Nearly
all her descendents were present at

The Alliance and Politics.
Mr. R. H. Jackson’s resignation of
the presidency of the Farmers’ Alliance
of this state continues to be the subject
of a great deal of comment. The
promptness with which his resignation
was accepted indicates either that he
was not in accord with the Alliance
some very important respects, or that
his coarse as its chief officer was not
wholly satisfactory. Articles which
appeared in the Southern Alliance, the
organ of the Farmers’ Alliance, leave
the impression that Mr. Jackson want
ed one policy adopted for tbe manage
ment of the exchage, which the Alli
ance proposes to establish, and that the
governing committee favored another.
It is indirectly asserted that Mr. Jack-
son wanted to be the manager of the
exchange.
Another story is that Mr. Jackson
ha3 an ambition to be the governor of
the state, and was endeavoring to use
the Alliance as a politioal machine.
Nothing appeared in tho public prints
to justify this 9tory, and it may have
no foundation. Tbe Alliance has au
thorized no statement to be madeofdhe
cause of Mr. Jackson’s resignation, and
Mr. Jackson does not appear to have
given any explanation of his action.
Mr. Jackson, as president of the Al
liance, was very active in its behalf,
and did’a good deal toward building it
up. If he intended to make it a step
ping stone to the governorship he was
not indiscreet enough to make his in
tention known. The governorship is
worthy the ambition of any man, but
it is questionable whether it would be
to the advantage of the Alliance for its
president to seek it. The members of
the Alliance, while they may agree
upon the questions which immediately
concern their organization, may differ
widely upon political questions. If,
therefore, tho president of the Alliance
should seek the governorship,and should
use his position to get the Alliance’s
support, the chances are that damaging
dissensions would appear iu that organ
ization. If Mr. Jackson sought to
drag the Alliance into politics for his
own selfish purposes, his resignation
will not be generally regretted by its
members.
Hon. L. F. Livingston, of Coving
ton, is the vice president of the Alli
ance, and the acting president. It is
too soon to say, with any degree of cer
tainty, whether he will be chosen to
succeed Mr. Jackson. It is under
stood that he has gubernatorial aspira
tions. If he has, it will be well, prob
ably, for the Alliance to take a sober
second thought before making him its
president. However well he may be
fitted for that position, it will be about
impossible for him to discharge the
duties of it, with the sole object of
promoting the interests of the Alliance,
if he is disturbed by the gubernatorial
bee. Unless the Alliance is goiog into
politics, and intends, if possible,to same
the next governor, it would make a
e?ave mistake if it selected for its pres
ident a man who has political aspira
tions. The purpose of the Allianoe, if
we understand it, is to promote the
welfare of the farmers, not to make
congressmen and governors.—News.
Politics will be the rock upon which
the Alliance will split—if it eversplita.

enon, “occurred right here in Atlanta
several years ago. In my -official ca
pacity as sheriff I had to levy on an en
gine belonging to the Air lone road.
That engine was a regular *«rhito ele
phant* on my buds. I had it in my
charge, bat I didn’t know what in the
thunder to do with it. The Air line
road notified me to move it off their
track as they wanted the room. I hir
ed a broken down engineer and gave
him a nigger to help ran it. He fired
the machine op one morning and mov
ed along the track. Pretty soon he saw
a train coming on the track where he
wss, and a flagman yelled at him to get
oat of the way. He pulled the throt
tle open and Bailed over towards the
Western and Atlantic road. He
ordered away from there, and then tried
the Central, "with no better success.
The Georgia road respected the o!d
man no better than the others had
done, and next day a notice was served
on me by all the roads to keep off their
tracks. The old engineer had a terri
ble time running like a scared wolf to
get out ot the way of some train com
ing up behind or to keep from vanning
into some train in front. The engineer
sent me word to meet him down on
Forsyth street. I went there, but he
had just been ordered away, and left
word for me to come down to the Ma
con depot. As soon as 1 reached there
I saw him coming, but a train was be
hind him and he was running like old
nick to keep out of the way, and as he
passed yelled for me to meet him at the
cemetary. After running up and down
the railroad track all the morning,
got on that blasted engine. The engi
neer wanted to resign, but I persuaded
him to hold on, andteid him to ran
down to East Point behind the Central
passenger every night, get on tbe side
tract there, and come back behind it
the morning. The old man did this
for two nights, the days being spent in
sky-rocketing around town. On the
third day the road gave bond and to ak
the engine, and I hope I’ll never be
called upon to take chargo cf another
engine as long as I live.”—Atlanta Jour

Farming in the North.
The Springfield Republican calls at
tention to the decline of farming in
New England and Pennsylvania.
While there has been a rapid and won
derful development of manufacturing,
and growth of many great cities, and a
remarkable expansion of the domestic
market for agricultural produce, farm
ing does not pay in New England or
Pennsylvania.
According to the Philadelphia Rec
ord, the trouble is due chiefly to an
attempt to work largp farms on the old
lines in the face of Western competi
tion. The Record states that “staple
crops like wheat, oats and corn connot
be made profitable in the face of cheap
and extensive lands in the West and
low coast transportation. The farmer
has been slow to change, and the de
mands of modern luxury add . show
have drained away the profits and
mortgaged the farms wherever such
profits could have been obtained under
the new conditions.”
The conclusions reached by a Backs
county, Pa., farmer are not without
interest, says the Republican, to New
England agriculturist*: We think the
conclusions are also applicable to the
agriculturists of the South. The rem
edy is in reduced acreage and a con
centration of labor and capital on small
farms.. The Germans in Pennsylvania,
who concentrate all iheir efforts upon
small farm3, succeeded, while the large
farmers do not. The advice of the
Pennsylvania farmor is applicable to
the South.
It will do tor Georgia and South
Carolina, and may be applied with
profit to tho cultivation of cotton
well as grain. The plan tuggested
known with U3 as “intensive farming,”
which we regret to say, is not followed
to any extent. The following is from
a farmer who has tried and succeeded
at what he resommend;-:
“Increased compethi »n can be met
in no manner except by concentration
of energy. Farmers must increase
their capital, and they can do it in no
other way than by decreasing the size
of their farms. A farmer must put
hia money, his labor, his manure
upon one-half or one-fourth tLe acre
age of hia forefathers if he would reap
the same traditional profits. The ten
dency ot our agriculture is in that
direction. Wc cannot misunderstand

Indeed, it was owing to his
practical sense that he overcame tho
difficulties of a want of early education,
and that he suoceeded in life better
than most of his fellows.
His elegant granite home will bo
the main building of the proposed in

other buildings, such as library, work
shops, cooking and sewing / depart
ments, etc. Tho endowment fund will
be about two million dollars. Mr.
Tome’s purpose is to belp the young
people of Port Deposit, and of Cecil
oounty, especially, and his plan will
provide first for the admission
into the schools of orphans
in Cecil county; third, for tho
admission of other children in the
town and county, and fourth, for the
admission of other Maryland children,
if there should be room for
them. Besides the usual school
course, the boys will be taught the
use of tools and machinery, and the
girls will be taught to cook and sew,
arid will receive instruction in short
hand, typewriting^ telegraphy and
book-keeping. Each ^-ksy^and girl
will have the privilege ot eight yeJfSv
of instruction.
Mr. Tome recognizes the fact that
it is much more difficult now for
people to make headway in life with
out technical training than it used to
be, and that a girl should have
knowledge of household duties. His
proposed gilt will make him a public
benesactor, and nis institution* will
stand as a lasting monument to his

a university delegation appears.
A delegation from the board of
trustees of the m-iversity was pres
ent and desired to be heard on an
important matter not touching the
location of the station. This com
mittee consisted of Mr. A. L. Hull,
Athens, chairman of the board of
control of the station connected with
the university, Ex Gov. McDaniel
and Mr. Henry W. Grady. These
gentlemen were given a hearing and
each of them addressed the commis
sion.
They laid before the commission
the status of the station now in op-
peration at Athens. When the last
legislature adjourned without taking
any action in regard to the experi
ment station, the university, to pro
sent the $15,000 appropriation being
lost, came forward and with the con
sent of a.I parties and the assent of
the governor, took the appropriation
and established the station. They
have drawn now and spent on the
second year $7,500, and have made
comracts and appropriations for !be
remainder of the fiscal year, expiring
June 30, the $7,500 yet to be drawn
would injcbe the university.
If the commission takei this from
them the noivenity will be unable to
carry on tho station, will bo unable to
fill iu contracts honestly and in good
faith and the experiments now in prog-
resi will have to bo abandoned and will
result iu a total loss. Besides the uni
versity can be held for the contracU
made and will be liable for the $7,500-
In addition to this it was represented
that the commission could not organise
the station before the first of June,
and in one month it would bo impos
sible for them to expend the 17,500 in
experiments, and if the money wss not
•pent it wouid revert to Ike government
Tho delegation asked, therefore,
that they be allowed to keep the money
and finish the experimenU and carry
ont their contrasts, and that it should
not be considered as giving any advant
age to Athena for the locality.
