When Genet al Muhone was wound

The bright little town of Quincy,

At the first Baptist church in Wash
ington, Sunday, Dr. J. B. Hawthorne,
of Atiaota, condemned the practice of
the government employing chaplains
for the two houses of Congress and in
the army and navy. He maintained
that it was not the duty of the govern
ment to employ men in no such capac
ity. “Let the members cf congress,’’
he said, “take the money from their
own pockets to support the man
whutn they choose to lead the morn
ing devotions, and let the officers and
privates of the army do the same."

A Bold Challenge Boldly Met.
John B. Gordon is not the man to
decline a challenge. It has been
charged that it was a gratuitous action
on ms part, when ho told the mem
bers of the state alliance 1 that he could
not support the sub-treasury plan.
Gordon, then and there, simply ac
cepted the guage of battle.
The Augusta Chronicle gives the
true inwardness of the bold declaration
of Governor Gordon. It says:
“On August 11th the editor of the
Athens Banner, who hadjust returned
from the Democratic State convention
in Atlanta and who claimed to have
conversed with leading Alliancetncn
from different parts of the State, as
serted in his paper that ‘unless Gor
don comes out flat-footed for the
sub-treasury'bill, he will certainly
have opposition for the United States
Senate.’
“The Athens Banner served upon
Gen. Gordon this significant notice:
"Governor Gordon was a brave sol
dier, and is one of the most universally
popular men in Georgia: but these
facts will not weigh a feather with the
Alliance if he opposes theouly bill on
which their future prosperity, happi
ness and independence depends. The
farmers of South Carolina refused to
listen to Hampton when he went with
their enemies, and the Alliance of
Georgia will repudiate even Gordon
if he will not pledge himself to sup
port the sub-treasury bill. They will
not be deceived by flattery and hon
eyed words. They demand of the
man they will support for the United
States Senate a free, frank and public
committal on the sub-treasury bill.
"Here, then, was a formal demand
from the Alliance upon Gen. Gordon
to “put up or shut up.” With this
ultimatum ringing in his ears Gen.
Gordon did not hesitate. He went
before the Alliance in its annual con
vention in Atlanta and there boldly
proclaimed to its leaders, its lodges
and the whole state that he ‘could not
endorse the sub-treasury bill even if it
cost him forty elections.’ The state
rang with applause. The challenge
had been issued from the Alliance,
not from. Gen. Gordon,”
An Allianceman Talks.
Mr. Hanlon, of the Pres3, Quit-
man, is an original, devoted alliance-
man. He has worked ns hard for the
order as any man in it. He gives,
in the last issue of the Press, some
advice to bis brethren. Here is what
he says:
Col. Polk says “we don't jyant it
(the third party), but there may bp
no help lor it.” There will bo “no
help for it,” so far as the South and
the Democratic party is concerned.
The dictum of tho alliance lenders—
"swallow the sub-treasury bill or
we’Jl torn* a third parly”—will have,
no terrors for men who liavc starched
in solid phalanx tinder the Democrat
ic banner for over a quarter of a cen
tury and aim know that this solid,
invincible front cannot be broken
without plunging their fair gnd teem
ing land into a condition tho mere
thought of which causes the stoutest
heart to grow siek with dire forebod
ings.
Two years ago our then president,
Mr. Jackson, was deposed front J.'is
high office because he made an effort
to use the alliance of his home county
to indorse him for congress. The or
ganization was then free from dema
gogues and firm in its determination to
stay within the bounds of alliance
purposes. How great the change
since then! The president of the na
tional alliance now actually threatens
the overthrow of both parties if the
sub-treasury scheme is not made op
erative by law! The "something bet
is a shame, .as is shown by the
fact that tho “leaders 7 tgyn up their
noses at the plans for the relief of the
masses which the Democratic party
is striving for in congress, and which,
if the party is triumphant in ’02, will
bring more substantial relief to all
classes than a million sub treasury
hills.
The Press makes the prediction
that whenever the alliance begins the
march upon the flesh pots of govern
ment, as a third party, the end of
the existence of the organization will
not be far off.
“I’m Going Back to Georgia.”
We take the following from the
Constitution:
An interview in The New York Tri
bune with A. B. Walker, a negro law
yer of St. Johns, New Brunswick, is
worthy of comment.
Lawyer Walker had heard so many
stories ol the south and the condition
of the negroes here that he resolved
to investigate lor himself. So ue made
a visit to the south and spent eight
months in studying the race problem.
In closing this interview with The New
York Tribune reporter he said: “I
am going back to Georgia to live. I
shall cast my lot with the people of my
race.”
In commenting on this declaration
ot an intelligent negro who has studied
the problem which the north cannot
understand, our esteemed Washington
contemporary, The National Democrat,
says:
Does anyone suppose lor a moment
that a colored man already established
in one of the British provinces, and
after spending eight months in travel
ing thiough the south, studying the
condition of his people, would remove
his residence to the state of Georgia if
one-tenth part of all The Tribune says
about the south were true ? Do Rus
sian revolutionists or Polish patriots,
who have acquired residences in Eng
land or America, spend eight months
traveling in Siberia and studying the
lot of their compatriots and then go to
Siberia to live ? The Tribune has in
advertently published the evidences of
its own mendacity.
In this interview with The Tribune
Attorney Walker said:
I went south eight months ago for
the express purpose of finding out, if I
could, the true condition of the race
problem. I believe that the people of
the south should be left alone and held
responsible for the development of the
negro race. I believe that the people
of the south are better adapted to deal
with it, than the people of the north.
* * * It is to the white people ol the
south aud the civilization of the south
that we must look for the redemption
of the negro race.
I am going to Georgia to live. I
shall cast my lot with the people of my
raep. I will sacrifice forever the im
munities Iroqt paste discrimination
which I have heretofore enjoyed, in
the firm confidence that far on in sum
mers that I shall not see the negro
race in the south shall have worked out
its salvation, and I believe that the
greatest help that they will receive in
this direction will be from the white
people of the south.

GORDON HERO OT THE DAY.
4
Allianceme.t From Seven Counties
1 .
Eatonton, 6a., ‘Aug. 29.—G&V.
Gordon spoko to several thousand al>
Iianceraen three miles from here to
day. They came from Morgan,
Greene, Hancock, Jones, Jasper,
Baldwin and Putnam counties, and
they received the old hero with open
arms, even if they were alliancemen
and he was known to be opposed to
the sub-treasury plan. Gen. Gordon,
after being introduced by Henry De-
jarnett in a very eloquent speech, be
gan by saying: “I am assured by
your applause that you neither mis
judge me nor fail to appreciate my re
lations to your patriotic cause. I
come to you, therefore, not like Paul
before the high court of King Agrip*
f a, to answer for the things whereof
am accused, but like Paul on his
mission to his brethren at Corinth.”
He took up his record for the last
seventeen years, following his predic
tions about the organization of the
farmers. He then showed that every
esscutial principle of the alliance had
been advocated by him long before
the alliance was in existence.
He analyzed the danger of introdu
cing into the democratic brotherhood
tests of loyalty not to he found in the
democratic platform. He maintained
that the unity of the democratic party
was essential to the supremacy of the
white race in the south, and the su
premacy of the white race was essen
tial to the best interests of both races.
As soon as the speech was conclud
ed the following resolutions were
adopted:
Recognizing in Gov. J. B. Gordon
a patriotic statesman and citizen, who,
under all circumstopegs, Whether up
on the battlefield, in the gubernatorial
chair, or ths walks oi private life, has
shown himself devoted to the interests
of his people; therefore, be it
1. Resolved, That we, the people of
Putnam county, do most heartily re
iterate our confidence in him.
2. Resolved, That it is our desire
that he shall be returned to the Sen
ate of the United States.
Dublin, Ang. 29 —Alarming re
ports on the potato crop continue to

Carlow and the teacoast districts the
crop is an absolute failure. In other
districts there will be a partial crop.
For Gordon.
Gov, Gordon made a speech last
week to the alliance farmers in which
he boldly took ground against the sub-
tieasury scheme. He did right. Ha
is known to be pre-eminently a friend
of the farmers and his candor at this
time is commendatory and salutary.
Wc know of not a single true aud
tried public roan now iu office who en
dorses the sub-treasury. It is only
the fellows who arc put and want to
get in, who ride this new horse. Of
course such men will ride anything
which will bring them into office.

Worthy pf Imitation.
Isle ok Shoals, Aug. 26, 1S90
Editor Times-Enterprise:
There is one custom at this hotel
which I think is worthy of imitation by
al) hotels in summer and winterresorts.
It is in icgcd to feeing table waiters.
Her; no fees lire given liJJ the guest
leaves. Then they give the waiter"$g,
$5 or $10, depending upon the time
remained, and the ability or liberality
otthe guest. The waiter serves all
alike g.pd does his level best, expect
ing a liberal fee syhen the guest leaves.
There is nj discrimination between
guests.
At most ot these large hotels, a rich
man will fee the servant liberally every
few days, and thus secure the best of
service. Another man at the same
table, whose pocket book is not so fat,
cannot afford such liberality, and he js
neglected. Yet he pays the same price
for board. This neglect is a gentle
reminder that the guest must “shell
out” if he should be well and promptly
served. The plan at this hotel is far
better.
While stopping here during the past
six weeks, I have talked with a goodly
number of wealthy people about Thom-
asyille, as a winter resort, and I am
confident you will see quite a number
of them next winter, Some ot them
have already written to Mrs. Bower in
quiring about rooms, tjrms, &c. you
will see your humble servant among
the rest-
