Sounding a Note of Alarm.
Larry Gantt, the brilliant editor
of the Athens Banner, the man who
has made such a persistent tight for
the alliance, who fought Gordon with
all his might, because lie opposed the
sub treasury scheme, warns the order
in a ringing editorial against cutting
loose from the democratic party and
going into the third party movement.
We mike room for a few salient
points made by Mr. Gantt. He says:
The farmers of all our Southern
States are in an overwhelming ma
jority, and there is no necessity for
their going beyond the pale of their
party. Besides, the Alliaucc and the
Democracy are striving for the same
ends—the relief and protection of the
masses against class legislation and
the oppressive power of combined
capital. If the Democratic party
succeeds, the farmers will have all of
their wrongs righted.
Our hard worked legislators will
have a rest to-day.
Chief Engineer R. W. Catlal has
been instructed to at once make the
final survey of the Florida Ship Ca
nal from St. Augustine to the With-
lacoochee river and tlienco down said
river to the Gulf.
_
“A two-ccut stamp, please,” she
said to the druggists. “Five cents,”
was the reply, as he tore one from the
sheit. "Five cents!” "Yes’m. The
McKinley Bill—” “Oh yes ! I under
stand.”—New Yoik Sun.
The absence of money is the root of
evil. To get money men do evil.
Poverty tends to crime. From the
famished womb of a nation’s sickly in
fant springs its thief, miser, glutton and
usurer.—Stephen Maybell.
Poor, the railroad statistician, esti
mates that half the capital of the rail
roads of this country is fictitious. The
amount is 84,840,471,123.50.
Upon this vast sum the people are
made to pay interest. It is a notori
ous fact that much of this is fictitious.
Slocks have been watered and water
ed, until the actual cost of railways
has been lost sight of.
Words of Wisdom.
Under the head of “Law and Li*
quor* the Constitution has a well timed
editorial on the liquor legislation
pending in the legislature. It should
not be lost on the agitators of imprac
ticable schemes for forcibly reforming
mankind. Mankind is not reformed
that way. And it never will be. The
Constitution says:
“It is unfortunate that so many of
our people have been educated into
the belief that men can be made
moral by an act of the legislature.
“Herc’in Georgia we have all sorts
of temperance bills brought before
every general assembly. We might
pass all/ and it is doubtful whether
they would materially reduce the sum
total of intemperance. One of the
latest schemes is to make drunken
ness a state oflense—a misdemeanor.
This policy has been tried elsewhere,
and abandoned. Sometimes the pen
alties have been very extreme. For
instance, the Artecs, who were a very
superior people, made drunkenness
punishable with death. But their old
colonels, aud jward politicians, and
rich old snoo/.ers continued to booze
along as usual, aud the law bad to be
repeated. The old Romans, too, lmd
a law making it death for a woman to
become intoxicated, but the ladies of
that day made up their minds to en
joy their tipple on the sky, and finally
the custom became so general that it
was impossible to enforce the law.
“After all, public opinion rules in
the matter of morals. We need tem*
perancc reforms, hut their mission is
not one of force—it is of moral
suasion. Father Matthaw, John B.
Gough and Dabney P. Jones did
more for temperance thau any statute
could have done. Francis Murphey is
doing more to-day for genuine tem
perance reform than any prohibition
ist is doing.
"Education, moral suasion, human
sympathy and heart work will in the
near future make the Americans the
most temperate people on the globe.
But the rclorm must be conducted
by apostles of sweetness and light,
and not by mistaken agitators, who
would arm themselves with the penal
terrors of the law. You cannot reform
a man by clubbing his head; you
mutt do it by touching his heart!”
The day the Southern Alliancemen
cut themselves aloof from the Demo
cratic party, that day their political
doom is sealed. Let the Alliance of
the Eastern aud Western States ig
nore party lines if they so desire—for
they have uot that sword ofDeraocles,
in the form of negro voters, hanging
over their heads—but it will never do
for the white people of the South to
divide.
* * * * *
The Alliance, like every other or
ganization, has ambitious and unscru
pulous men in its ranks. These
would doubtless delight to see old
party lines broken, with a hope of
coming to the front themselves, and
reaping the spoils of office. But the
Southern delegates must repudiate
all such movements, and oppose any
division between the Alliance and
the Democracy. It would be a fatal
step—destroying the power of the
Alliance and imperiling the success
of the only party that stands between
the white people of the South and ne
gro supremacy.
We were Democrats long before
the Alliance was even thought of.
To this party we owe our first allegi
ance. The hour the Alliance cuts
itself aloof from the organized Demo
cracy, we must—with sorrow and re
gret—cease to become its champion,
and give whatever talent and influ
ence we may possess to battling for the
party of our race and of our sec
tion.”
These are brave, rannly words,
and they will find an echo in a million
hearts. The Alliancemen of Georgia
will not be led out of the Democratic
party. Should any member attempt
it, they would find themselves in a
hopeless minority.

To Meet in Savannah.
The place of meeting of the spring
session of the State Agricultural Soci
ety has been changed from Ellaville,
Schley county, to Savannah.
At the fall meeting of the society at
LaGrange, last August, the only invi
tation extended the society for its next
convention was from the enterprising
young city of Ellaville. The invitation
was promptly accepted, and the people
of Ellaville confidently expected to have
the agriculturists with them on the
second Wednesday in Feb., 1891, the
date of the next meeting. It was found
by the association authorities,however,
that the accommodation at Ellaville
would probably prove too limited for
the crowds that attend the regular ses
sions of the society, and, although the
big-hearted hospitality of the people
ol Ellaville was fully appreciated, it
was decided to seek another and lar
ger town for a meeting place.
At the S ate Fair, Dr. H. H. Carey,
of I.aGrange, Dr. S. Hape of Ilape-
ville and Maj. A. F. Wooley ol Kings
ton were appointed a committee with
power to act in the matter. The com
mittee selected .Savannah as the next
meeting place. Dr. Carey passed
through the city yesterday from Savan
nah, where he lud been to make
some preliminary arrangements for
the meeting next February.
The transactions of the fall meeting
of the agricultural society, officially
compiled by Secretary R. W. Jemison,
are now in the hands of the secretary.
The volume contains sixty pages, full
of interest to the farmer reader.—Ma
