“Politics and the Farmers Alii
ance.
Under this Lend we publish, else
where, n communication signed ‘‘Jttc
tice.” The writer stys the order is
"not dabbling in politics, but has
waded iu deep, and are going to rlosh
around generally tl-'s summer.”
We can only say that Grand Leo
turer Terrell, ol Texas, when he was
here, advised the order not to dabble
in politics m “slosh found genera'
ly.” The question is whether tho
grand lecturer knew what was bed
for the order. He stands hit'll iu the
councils of the order. Alliiiuccraen
ofThoinri county w’’! rememberliis
words of warning against mixing up
the order in politics, when he spoke
here, last summer. So much for
that.
Defending the position that the
alliance should name both the repre
ssntatives and the senator, our cor
respondent says: “We’ve had nothing
for a ioug fate.”
Let’s see about th : s
Sineo the reconstruction pciiod
Thomas county has had time sena
tors, McDone'd, Turner and Mitch
ell. Tho two P-st were from the
country. Tit's looks like the coun
ti f ha/hnd .he lion’s f hare of senators,
doesn’t it?
Now rs to the house of representa
tive;.
When Thomas county democrats,
by a mighty effort, d’senth-r’led the
county from rauicnl rule, in 1873,
site elected Hammond an I 1* Mer
man. Here follows the representa
tives for'tlie yenu following:
Hammond and W :, inot; 1877,
Hammond and Burch ; 187'J, Ham
ntond and Sapp, 1881, Patten and
Spengler, 1883, McLendon and Al
exander, 1885, McLendon and Freak;
lin, 1887, last Mfclntyro and Alex-
'planflr, "Whs imm
ns the country’s candidate; and in
1887, Franklin was named ns tiic
choice of the couutry. In 1885 the
section beyond the river was asked to
name a mnn. The friends of Me. srs
Pope and Ballard, could not agree,
and the result was thnt Judge Alex
ander and S. G. McLendon were
elected.
Now, if “Justice’’ is what Ids name
implies, he must, in the light of these
facts, admit that tho country lips
been fairly dealt with by the town
In only one instance, since 1873,
and that was when they d : «agrc:d
among themselves, lias the country
fai'ed to name one of the representa
tives. Does this look like the coun
try lias “lmd nothing for u long
time”? They linve had two senators
out of three, and, as shown, named
one man for the house (except in one
nstance, wheu they disagreed among
themselves) for every legislative con
vened sineo 1873.
In this contest the town is suppos
ing two candidates from the country,
Messrs Ivey and Parker and Mitclie".
for the ecnate. Is there anything
unfair or greedy in the action of the
town, in this ? If there is we fall to
see it; and we do not believe fair
minded men Jn the country sec it.
The town lias nobly stood by every
candidate put out liy tho county in
the past; and she is doing the same
thing now, and she,—not only she,
but hundreds of countrymen—a"'«
ancemen, too—ask, that while these
two gentlemen be sent to the house,
that tho unstained, pureless patriot,
Robt. G. Mitchell be scut to the sen

It is just as wcP to remember that
democrats are notgiving a halfheart
ed support to Hons. A. W. Ivey and
J. M. Parker for the House. There
are no sulkers iu the domociatic tents,
and every man is doing Ids whole
duty.
It is said that a new and extensive
brick wake house will be put up at
no distant day by the S. F. A W.

An Important Meeting
We publish in another column this
morning the proceedings of the pear
growers’ meeting, held in Judge Mitch
ell's office yesterday morning. The
Timfs-Enteuprisf. regards the meet
ing as an important one for many
reasons. Important because such
men as Capt. L. L. Varnedoe, Judge
W. I). Mitchell, Messrs. T. E. Black
shear, W. R. and J. I'. Pittman, E. I.,
Neel, A. A. Cassidy, T. J. Horne, W,
B. Roddenberry, L. A. and L. G
Varnedoe, L. P. Singleta r y, H. H.
Sanford and Reese & Eason come
together they are drawn by more than
a passing whim or impulse.
The gist of the impo'se unde.- which
they acted is the belief that they ara
not getting as much money lor t’le'r
pears as they ought to receive, when
i< is laken into consideration that all
kinds ol 'uits are scarce in the north
ern markets. It is a fact that the
price of pears is no higher than it was
last year, when the crop was ten times
an great, and ?'l varie. es of '.tits
were equally as plen; fill, Whether
this is due to t.he fact that the New
York ina-ket has received more >hr n
she ought, or is due to other causes
it is certa'i that the prices are tco
low.
There is one result that is lure- to
foilow the movement, for as we lake it
it is un'y the first step that has been
taken, and that the result wi” be
plan of co operation that will enable
the growers to distribute the crop,
This last is tne key note of the situa
tion, whether the volume he great or
small, U all the growers could be
brought to see the advantages stand
mg together in this matter, it would
be a great advance " om the present.
Every man for lumselt and the devil
take the headmost” plan that lias here
tofure prevailed.
'the- -Times-Enterprise stands
ready to do all in its power to help
the growers, but at last the help must
conic trom themselves. In the mean
time, keep this thought in t.ew, grow
er.-: come together; what is for the in
tereit of one will help all.
A Pear Growers Association
J* you waut to do the pear g -owers
a service, encourage and promote the
formation of an Association that will
secure the eo-operatiou of every grow
er iu South Georgia.
In all probability the association
will organize nn Exchange, fash,
ioued after the Orange Exchange in
Florida, and this Exchange will in
turn, see to- the distrihutiou of the
crop. Another good cflect tint will
follow the formation of the Exchange
will lie that buyers will become as
plentiful ns soliciting agents have
been hero before. Wheucvei a man
puts his good money into pears, he be
comes a hull at once, and does all in
his power to keep prices up.
We have only touched this matter
iu hare ou?' ; nc, but we think a mo
ment’s reflection will convince grow
ers that the Association is a necessity,
and when the Association has been
formed, we nre confident the Ex--
change wi'l follow. There is one good
at least, that the melon syndicate did
the past season, it brought buyers in
to the melon belt, and just so, a
Pear Exchange, will bring buyers.
Boom the Association, idea, and
you boom the LeCoutc pear, and the
interests of South Georgia.

Montoom fry, Ala,. July 14.—A
prominent republican of this city, and
one who holds an iinpoi.'nt federal
office, said to your correspondent
to-day:
“I w ;, l, if tho forn hill pe sr;, 110
louger consent to act as au inspector
at elect ions. I have b.?n inspector
for yeau in my heat, and always se
cured a fair vote, and nn honest count,
and never had ny trouble, hut the
for.; bill will arouse such feel'igs of
ldignation among my democratic
neighbors and friends—indignation
which I helievo is tight 2dus, ns the
south wants no federal bayonet to con
trol it, and coerce it into a submission
to negro domination—.*s to make a
very serious matter for any southern
republican to act as an inspector.
Besides when tho lines nre drawn be-
tw: 2it tho negro and the Caucas'an, I
am going to let politic 1 severely o'one.”
He says the force bill, instead of

Longest Fast on Record.
Galena, III.,July 15.—John Roth,
wiio outdid Tanner in his celebrated
fait, died yesterday at the county asyl
um, having passed his sixtieth day of
total abstinence from food or nourish
ment, except a small quality of
water, which was forced into b>s
stomach mechanically every twenty-
four hours. For such an absolute
fast his record is no doubt the longest
ever made. Recently Roth worked
at Scales Mound, near this city, till

mouths ago, which incapacitated him
for work and soon mado it impossible
for him to cat. After a week of fasting
ho was brought to the county asylum
May 23, and there liugered for fifty-
three dava without food.

Major A. C. Knapp.
Few men in the south have, within
a comparatively short petiod, made
more reputation as a railroad man
than Major A.JC. Knapp, the General
Traffic Manager of the Georgia South
ern and hiorida radroad. The Macon
Telegraph, in a recent issue, says:
Traffic Manager A. C. Knapp, of
the Georgia Southern and Florida, is
regarded among associate railroad
men as an eminently proper person to
be m >de a member ol the railway
commission. At present Mr. Knapp
is in Atlanta mapper-as ?i expert
in some mattr-s before the commision-
ers.
Major Knapp is an expert. He
has studied and mastered the intrica
cies of the railroad problems of the
day. And they r-c numerous and
complicated. The gentleman was at
one time a citizen of ThomasUlle, and
he has many friends iiere who arc
watching his onward and upward
course with both interest and pride.

TO:-:
AT ONCE.
The New York Times gives this
terse analysis of the Force bill:
The Republican party is losing its
grip 011 (lie North and the great North
west, and hopes to make up for the
deficit by sending Federal troops down
South. Tlint is the plain English of
the matter.”
The New York Star sums up Mr.
Harrison aud his pp-ly in this sen
tence: “A liaukrupt l-oi-«ury and n
deficit of 8130,000,000 arc the start
ling results of sixtr :n mouths of Re
publican administration and legisla
tion.”
