Col. John P. Fort does not agree
with all the Alliance men in all par-
ticulars. lie ii not in favor of cotton
wrapping for cotton bales. It is an
extra cost of from 75 cents to $1 per
bale which goes into the pockets of
the manufacturer, for which the plan-
ter gets nothing. He thinks the cot-
ton bagging taken from the bales will
be used to make cheap fabrics just
the same as if it had not been used
for bagging, and thus in reality there
will not l»c an increase of consump-
tioff of cotton so ’as to enhance
price. Col. Fort is one of the most
extensive and progressive farmers
Georgia; few men bave*done more,or
paid out more money to advance the
farming interests in tbe state, and
when he talks his words are worth
listening to. It is easy for his county

Mr. Grady’s visit to Elbert oh and
Andersonville was a grand ovation.
Many thousands of people came in
from the county in all directions, and
were wrought up to the very climax
of enthusiasm by his glowing elo¬

of the Constitution: “Cheer after
cheer went up from the thousands of
throats of the vast audience, and the
very woods rang with the echo, and
threw it across the broad and placid
Savannah river, to be taken up and
re-echoed by the noble and stately
pines on the high and picturssque
bluffs of the Georgia side.” Just
think of the eloquence that stirs up,
not only human beings, but rouses
the wiid woods, stately pines and
picturesque bluffs to actually toss
the echo backward and forward across
the placid Savannah! How the river

else, animate and inanimate was wild
with excitement,is more than we can

Grady is a great orator, but he and

the gush in the columns of the Con¬
stitution that marred the otherwise
interesting description of his journey.

FR< )M CLARKSVILLE.
On last Saturday, in the grove at
Bethlehem Church, near Clarksville
lion. Ben Terrell of Texas, National
Lecturer of the Farmer’s Alliance,ad¬
dressed an audience of twelve or
fifteen hundred persons, composed of
farmers from ail parts of Habersham,
with their wives and children, sisters
and sweethearts.
He gave us a sensible,practical talk,
full of good advice, and timely sug¬
gestions,* varied with amusing anec¬
dotes.
lie urged upon the farmers the ne¬
cessity of harmony and organization
among themselves; and showed what
a mighty power they might become
in the land, if they would pull to-
getber.
He pointed out the fact that the
farmers of Georgia are constantly
growing poorer and all other classes
wealthier. This he ascribed, in n
great degree, to the credit system,and
told them to pay what they owed,and
go in debt no more, even if they had
to live on corn bread, and patch their
clothes till they resembled Joseph’s
coat of historical fame.
lie was listened to throughout
with the closest attention by his large
audience. The quiet and good order
observed were remarkable, and all
who heard the speech join in pronoun¬
cing it a most excellent one.
At the conclusion of the speech, a
basket dinner was served, and after
this the Alliance held a private meet-
ing the church, where we had the
p i easure 0 f listening to another most
forcible and earnest talk from the
same gentleman.
The speaker is a sensible practical
, nan ^ c f fjj ie address, and seems to be
heart and soul in the cause. He is the
right man in the right place.
He was accompanied by his wife,
who is, like himself, a native Texan
and a most charming little lady.
Altogether it was an enjoyable
occasion, and a most profitable one
for the A1 dance, a d I think the good
results will soon be apparent.

TOCCOA, GA. SATURDAY, Jt’LY
ALLIANCE MEETING.
Horn Deri Terrell, of Texas, the
National Lecturer of the Farmers’
Alliance spoke to a very large audi¬
ence atClarksvilld last Saturday. Mr.
Terrell presents a fine appearance
and handles his subject for all It is
worth. His discourse was full of
sound reasoning, and his arguments
apparently unanswerable.
He was particularly hard on trusts
of all kinds,but lenient with the mer¬
chants, and advised the farmers to
trade with the home merchant that
would sell them goods at a reasona-
hie per cent, but not to make con¬
tracts with any certain firm after
their present contracts run out, and
be free to buy from the man who
would sell the cheapest.
His advice to the farmers was to
keep all their obligations, and pay
all just debts; said he, “the farmer
that fails to pay his debts, strikes a
direct olow at bis own children, his
brother farmer, is not worthy to be¬
long to the Alliance, and the sooner
such men are dropped the better it
will be for the order.”
Referring to statistics he said that
in 1865 there were only 2 men in the
United States that were worth $1,-
000,000, but in 1889 we have 15,000
men who are worth $1,000,000; and
there are five men in the United
States who are worth as much as the
other 60,000,000.
Speaking of the condition of the
farmer he said that they had in the
last 25 years decreased in wealth
$40,000,000 while the cities had in
the same length of time increased
$60,000,000.
He particularly impressed the farm¬
ers with the importance of living
more economically a year or two, in
order to get out of debt and be able
in the future to pay cash for their
necessaries.
The following interesting letter
was crowded out last week:

ITEMS FROM PULASKI, S. C.
To the ToccoA 1 News: If you have
room in your Valuable columns I
wish to give your readers a few dots
from Pulaski. First I will give some
ideas about the name of Pulaski. A-
bout 80 years ago Tugalo river was
cleaned out and made navigable up
to the mouth of Panther creek. This
wolk was done by James Wiley and
a few boats was run up’to’tF&t point,
About that time a man named Per-
fy purchased the farm whfere Capt.
W. II. Deaton now lives; he Arid off
a town on the place and narribd it
Pulaski, but from some misfortune
the town was not built.- So the farm
still goes by the name*of the Pulaski
place.' Also the nitne of our towri-
ship and the school house m this
neighborhood have the same name,this
is why we head our artic's with the
name of Pulaski,
We are having fine seasons for the
growing crops; corn crops are ver^
fine; cotton not so good; grass a little
better; gardens are fine. Capt. \V;
D. Deaton has beets ifi his garden six
inches in diameter.
Rev. D. F. Carter has the best gar¬
den we have seen. His beets are
very fine and has more of them than
“Carter had oats.”
Mr. John Mills passed through
neighborhood with his thrasher last
week thrashing out the grain as he
went; we welcome Mr. Mills in our
midst, especially when we want our
grain thrashed. 7’he last we seen
him he was going in a northern direc¬
tion, he and his hands singing “Glo¬

success.

as soon as Randall appeared in the

FARM NOTES
Useful Pigs:— The pig’s useful
ness as a mixer, turner and rcfinei
of the manure heap need only be al¬
luded to. There seems to be a value
given to manure worked over by pigs
which neither the theory of the phil¬
osopher nor the cfuciblc of the che¬
mist can account for. Yet it is posL
tively there.
A rural exchange indorses the old
rule that dvery cow kept for butter
will keep a sow and pigs,’ The skim
milk and buttermilk form a basis for
healthy feed, and if given a run in
the pasture or in the orchard the lit¬
ter of pigs in the fall will bring near¬
ly as much as the housewife has made
from her butter.
Some Pumpkins: —Mr. Lamb,' the
manager of the East Florida Land
and Produce Company,-brought some
pumpkins seed with him from Eng¬
land, which he planted in ins' garden
in North City, a suberb of St. Augus¬
tine. Yesterday he deCixlfed to cut
the largest of the pumpkins when
weighed turned the scale at Airily-five
pounds and is 5 feet 9 inches in cir¬
cumference. He has several on the
vines still which he thinks will equal
if not surpass the above mentioue 1
figures when ripe.
