I Cotton Put up to Twelve and-a Half Cents. “A resolution was introduced mak ing the minimum selling price of cot ton this season 15 cents for upland middling and 2<l cents for sea island. It was discussed thoroughly and amended so that the body bound its members to demand 121 cents for upland and 20 cents for sea island. — Extract from proceedings of the state Alliance meeting. The State Alliance passed a resolu tion at the meeting in Macon this week to the effect that the members of the Alliance will not sell the present crop of cotton for less than twelve and a half cents per pound. If this is 8 on binding on the Alliance men of Geor gia, very little cotton will he market ed foe some time. Jt would ho a very good tiling, of course, if the cotton growers of the South could act in unison and hold their cotton, hut, owing to the peculiar surroundings and varied conditions of cotton plant ers, this will he difficult to accomplish. Some arc necessarily compelled to sell. It is not unlikely that some of the men who voted for the resolution will sell cotton for less than 121 cents. While wc should like to see cotton go to these figures, the probability of it? doing so is not flattering. It is best for the planters to understand the situation. It is conceded that the present crop will ho an average* one, and it is not likely that the price, will be very much in excess, if any, of former years. Some farmers can hold their cotton and refuse to sell unless they get 121 cents,hut there are many who cannot hold, who hold their obli gations to settle account above a fixed price for (lie staple. There arc ome, perhaps, who may come to the conclusion that the resolution adopted by the State Alliance will not have the effect of putting cotton up to 121 ceuls. If it could, then some might ask why the Alliance (lid not demand, say 15 cents for cotton, instead of twelve and a halt. After all, gentlemen, while co operation is a good thing, and farmers should stand together, the individuali ty of the man cannot lie-obliterated; lie must, in some instances, lie allowed to use his own discretion. Every man is, or is supposed to bo, the best judge of bis own business. As an evidence of this proposition, the resolution passed by (lie .Slate Alliance will lie violated in a thousand instances. It is heller not to attempt a tiling winch, in the very nature of the case, cannot lie carried out, than to attempt it and fail. Let the Alliance work out re forms which arc possible—not attempt the impossible. In attempting the impossible and failing, the order will not strengthen itself. The member ship will lose confidence in their lead ers, and results will not he satisfactory. Tascott hasn’t turned up yet. A brother of the late Ben Hill died in Texas last week. He was 75 years old. There will he some lively bidding for the lease of the state road. The longest pole will knock the persimmon. The Alcxandcr-Williamson corres pondence is growing interesting. Mr. Williamson’s last communication is highly flavoicd. The recent visit of Germany’s Em peror to .England, it is said, resulted in a strengthening of the bonds be tween the two countries. Gov. Lowry having knocked Sulli van out, is now in training for a bom with Kilrain. Having done up Sulli van, it is thought he will down Kilrain on the first round. A Pittsburg paper alludes to the fact that a policeman was found awake and on duty in that city one night last week. Wonders will never cease. New Yotk is putting her millionaires on the committee to secure the great exposition in 1892. It is to lie hoped that the great millionaires will loosen their purse strings. The farmers of the south arc nearer compacted to-day 1'ian ever before. II they will stick to the tenets of their order, and steer clear ot the politicians who are trying to use them, they will succeed. Although it is about fourteen months before the election lor congressmen, there are indications that more than one gentleman in Georgia is going into training for the race. It is said that Judge Gucrry will oppose the Hon. H. G. Turner in this district. ^Thc average Georgia legislator spitteth and spurteth his tobacco juice on the marble floor ol the new capitol, and inlroduccth an amendment to the code. And then he hicth him away for a couple of days in the week, on a free pass. The state Alliance has passed a res olution endorsing the philanthropic member of the legislature who intro duced a dog law. The slate Alliance is a sensible body. And yet the leg islature will stand by the flop-eared hounds. It is said that the grand jury ol the county in Alabama in which Messrs Calhoun and Williamsoh fought their duel, will pay their respects to the duelists when it meets. And then Gov. Seay will have something to say to Gov. Gordon. Georgia’s escaped pistol tolers, with an English bull-dog pattern, protrud ing from their hip pockets, are still quietly, safely and serenely grazing in Tennessee pastures. And there’s none to molest or make them afraid. Governor Robert Taylor holds them in the hollow of his hand. There is dinger that interest in the common schools—will eventuate in the neglecting of higher education. Geor gia should encourage both. They should go hand in hand. Neither can be neglected with safety to the state. While encouraging the three R’s, let the university and branch col leges he not overlooked. There is still a small portion of Illinois not included in the corporate limits of Chicago. There is some italic of St. Louis annexing Kansas .city, and all that territory lying be tween the great city by the father of waters and the state line on the west and south. The rivalry between these two cities is growing interesting. Knoxvii.i.k, Tks-n., Aug. 21.—The Knoxville, Cumberland Gap and Lou isville was fully completed to-day, from Knoxville, Tenn., to and through the great tunnel at Cumberland Gap, 3,750 feet long, where it connects with the Louisville and Nashville railroad and Norfolk and Western railroad. The Knoxville, Cumberland Gap and Louisville railroad, with the extension of the Marietta and North Georgia railway to Knoxville, will form a new and important through line from Al- knta to Cincinnati and Norfolk. The Marietta and North Georgia railway and the Knoxville, Cumberland Gap and Louisville will open a vast lerrito ry yet undeveloped, but known to be one of the richest sections in the new south, abounding in marble, iron ores, cooking coal and valuable hardwood timber. Gkand Forks, Dak., Aug. 11.—A sensation was produced here yesterday when two lawyers discovered a serious difference between the constitution and the enabling act passed by cong ress The constitution located all the stale institutions and public lands granted by congress. Lawyers find that congress specifies that the legisla- lature shall charter the institutions and divide the lands. Unless the consti tution is voted down it is quite prob able that North Dakota will not receive the public lands from the government LATEST TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. DOWN TO DEATH TROUGH A TRESTLE.

Accompany ing it will lie a biography of his daughter, who is his private secretary. London', Aug. 22.—It is official}- announced that Mrs. Maybrick’s sen tence lias been commuted to penal servitude for life. The decision was based upon the conflict of the medical testimony as to whether the poison found in the deceased’s stomach was sufficient to produce death. After a prolonged consultation between emi nent lawyers and Mr. Matthews, home secretary, a unanimous opinion was arrived at that Mrs. Maybrick had administered poison to her husband with intent to kill. No further appeal, cither for release from prison, or for mitigation of the sentence t> life imprisonment will ho entertained. Knoxvii.1,1:, Ti'.nn., Aug. 22.—A hort'ible wreck occurred on the Knoxville, Cumberland Gap and Louisville railroad at Elat Gap Greek, twenty-two miles from here at 10:80 o’clock this morning. The train was the first to go over the new road and carried a select excursion of the city council, board of public works, representatives of the chamber of commerce and the very flower of business and professional men of Knoxville. Three were killed outright, and forty one injured. The rear coach pitched through a trestle. Only one man in it escaped injury. The dead are : Judge (ieorgo Andrews, the most prominent lawyer in East Tennessee. S. T. Bowers, a leading merchant and former resident of the. East Tennessee Eire Insurance Company.
