There are many who devide the Farmers’ Alliance in their efforts to secure financial relief; there are many who condemn the methods used by the farmers, and excoriate the toiling sons of the field for carrying their fight into the domain of poli tics. _ # ' We stand to day where we have stood from the very beginning, the friend of the farming class, the friend of the Farmers’AUiance,ready, willing, and eager to do them any good that we can in our line of work. We are not among those who den predate the worth of the or cry down the honest efforts this organization is making for the relief of its members. The sincerity of their motives is apparent to the hon est and thinking citizen ot the repub lie, for with them it is a sacred fight for bread and meat, for better educa tional facilities, for financial relief for the upbuiding of their people. When a people are tyrannized over, it is natural that they should turn upon their oppresBors.£ven the in significant worm will turn when trod upon. The uhaghty King John real ized this at Runnymede, and George III. knew it was a living reality when be bade a long farewell to the Amer ican colonies in 1783. The farmers are now getting in shape to strike a blow with telling effect and it will be sweeping in its nature The methods they intend to adopt seem to be bothering the people just now. A third party has been formed and indications now point to the running of a national ticket on the Ocala plat form ot the Farmers’ Alliance. Is that movement the best for the farmers, and will they accomplish by it the reforms they so ardently wish? We are satisfied that such a move ment must end in disastrous defeat. A weak effort is being made to poU the Allianeemen of the South out of the ranks of the democracy but it is meeting with the failure it justly merits. The Southern farmer sees no reason why he should leave the parly of his fathers; the party that has stood by his interests faithfully: and that stands to-day pledged to prinoiples.almoat identical with those asked for by the Alliance. The democracy has never forsaken its colors in the fight for tariff reform and financial relief, and in the hour when its grand and overwhelming triumph w apparent, the farmers of the South are not going to stray off with the third party in the service of strange gods. ' Even since the war, the democracy has fought in the interest of the Southern farmers and the farmers of all sections of the country; it haw borne the criticism of rabid partisans with the utmost devotion to its prin ciples; and it still relies upon the strong arms of the tillers of the soil for support It has never been in a position where it could effectively enact laws, for the reason that the republicans have always held some branch of the government in their power. ftut the hour of retribution is at hand, and the farmers will strike the avenging blow. It will not fall upon the democracy for they would then be slaying their best friend. It will lop off the head of republicanism and pay back that party for the misdeeds of a ter of a quarcentury of corrupt ule. .

Then the country will see some legislation calculated to relieve the farmers. We are firm in our support of the farmer and bis course, but we are emphatically opposed to the third party. We were born into the demo cratic ranks, educated to believe in the principles of democracy; have never seen any reason to depart from our position, and as long as strength remains in our hands to wield a pen, wherever we may be cast among the sons of men, we will be found writ ing, working, laboring and fighting for its principles. “In hoc signo vinces,” “under this standard thou shalt conquer.” The flag of democracy is unfurled Irom our most head, and while we have the strength left to wave it on high it shall not be lowered, it shall not be furled. This Is very funny. The Atlanta Journal speaking of a convertion between the third party ■evangelist from the west who recently were in Athens’said: They boasted, as a straw to show which way the wind was blowing, the conversation of Mayor Hemphill, of Atlanta and Mayor Brown of Ath ens. These gentlemen, figuratively speak ing, backed their ears, opened their mouths, and swallowed the Ocala plat form, sub-treasury plank and all, as if it were a sugar-coated pill. i sugar- rill be s has been doing Georgia will probably invite Mayor Hemphill and Mayor Brown to star the eastern and north western states for the Ocala platform and the third party in the fall. Mayor Brown has already promised to go, but Mayor Hemphill, 1 under stand, will not go, as he says he is down on the third party, although he thinks the farmers have grievances which should be righted. Among the other converts the third party disciples boast to have made on this trip are the Rev. Sam Small and the Hon. Seaborn Wright, both of whom made speeches on that line when called out by the crowd. The Banner thinks there is a very serious mistake made here. We prefer to believe that the third party cranks are counting chickens before they are hatched when they number our worthy mayor as a convert to third partyism. Mayor Brown’s speech showed him to be most friendly to the Alliance. So are we all. But, Mayor Brown .is a Democrat “just as hoL” “When Greek meets Greek,'’then”— you know the rest. It is worthy of notice that the con test for the speakership of the House of Representatives has been conducted in the most friendly and good-natured manner by the numerous candidates and their friends, no personalities have been indulged in by any of them; it is only a matter of the fitness and availa bility of the different gentlemen, who are ambitious of presiding over the next House,and every one of the Dem- crats who have shown their ability and party fealty in many hard fought political contests in and out of Congress. Every Democrat has, of course, a per sonal choice, but there is no reason why any Democrat need sulk which ever of the candidates may be given the honor by the Democratic caucus.—Co lumbus Enquirer-sun. No, the friends of Mr. Mills need not sulk because Mr. Crisp gets the plum. And Mr. Cusr will surely get it. An exchange talks about the Ohio campaign thus: The distinguishing emblem of fhe Republican ticket in Ohio; will be the eagle, which will be placed at the head ot every ballot cast on election day, in accordance with the new election law, which requires that each party nominating candidates for office must adopt a symbol. The Demo cratic emblem Is a rooster. Both the eagle and the rooster are gallant birds. The eagle can soar to loftier heights than the rooster, but the barnyard fowl can do the lustiest crowing, and he gets up very early in the morning. These birdB are undoubtedly destined tt> play very conspicuous parts in the campaign in. Ohio, and we should say that roosters are likely to be found to be rather more plentiful than eagles in that region. Seaborn. Wrioht, of Rome, the handsome young orator of Rome, we trust will deny the following which is taken from the Tribnne-of-Rome: A pretty healthy rumor sat down in a chair in-the sanctum of the Tribune- of-Rome yesterday, and after mopping its heated brow, crossed its legBand said that there was going to be some fun for the Seventh district before long. Being asked to be more specific, the rumor complied by sayiDg that Hon. Seabonr Wright and Hon. Tom Watson intended to hold a tri-county rally in Whitfield county in the near future, and that then and there the Hon. Seaborn Wright would make declaration of his candidacy on the third party platform, and that the Hon. Tom Wat son would slap the Hon. Seaborn Wright on the broad of his hack, and in Watsonian tones thunder: “Go it, old fellow. I am with you!” Then the rumor unfolded its legs and used them going out into the golden sun shine. Here’s a good story told by the Au gusta Herald on a young lawyer of that city: The following story is told onaprom- inent member of the Augusta bar: A few mouths after he had swung his shingle to the breeze he was assigned by the judge to defend a man charged with horse stealing. He asked for tune to consult with his client, and, carrying him to a private office, questioned him as to the points pro and con. “Have you any alibi that you can prove?’’ said the attorney. “No, sir, boss; for I stole de boss,” replied the prisoner. This was a stunner, but in spite of the weight of evidence against him our le gal friend contested and won the case. Congressman Simpson, of Kansas, made a speech at Birmingham yester day In favor of the third party move ment and in the course of bis remarks he denounced McKinley and his tariff bill and declared that.be would spend one month in Ohio in the fall with the view of helping the farmers defeat him. Simpson is wasting his time trying to wheel the South into line for the third party, and if hqjs sincere in bis desire to help the fanners of the country to throw the burden of tariff taxation, the best thing he can do is to go to Ohio and work for the cause of tariff reform from now until the day of elec tion.—New Orleans State.8 Correct: Nobody objects to hearing Alliance doctrines preached, but when it comes to third party talk. Excuse the South. The Milledge Avenue folks can’t live without water. They are not in the reach of the blind tigers anil must drink something. Turn on the hose and let the pressure go up. . Permit us, good soldiers, in the most disinterested manner in the world to beg for peace. Come, put a little more ice in your water, and drink to a cool July. Wondkb if the “Sockless Statesman’ knows that the Alliance of Georgia is laughing in its sleeve at his Third party talk. Congressman Everett, of Seventh District who is an aotive Allianeemen, and who was elected on the Alliance platform and by Alliance votes says he wants no Third. Party sweetening in his drinltB. He says when he goes to con gress he will go to vote the Democratic ticket first, last, and all the time, and still bold his faith to the Alliance as fondly dear. Now, Brother Watson get on this platform and you will once more command the respect of your for mer admirers and friends. A Young man has been fined $10 for flirting in Washington. That law wouldn’t work in this city. The girls would object to it as they probably do in Washington, the complainant in the above case having been a tobacco dealer whose business, he claimed, was injur ed by the young men who stood outside the building and flirted with his em ployees. When Mr. McDoruan chief of the fire department reported to the Water Works Company a defect in the uptown pressure, Mr. Wood, superintendent, promised to put on another hand and run the pump night and day. And this shows that Mb. Wood is anxious to give the people a good water supply. Brothhr Rbmskn Crawford, of the Athens Banker, is a sound Democrat. He is hitting the third party some hard licks. Three cheers for Rbmskm I—Al pharetta Free Press. Spare your •eheers, good brother. Applause Is an undue reward for the simple discharge of duty and obedience to conscience.—Athens Banner. ’Twas Brer Rucker of tha Free Press who not long since alluded to Brer Crawford as a “Joke on Edi to t-rial Journalism.” At the time we thought the “Joke” a good one.—Jack- son Herald. How glad we are to know then you have both learned to “joke more seri ously” and have lived to retract your former utterances. It’s never too late to learn. Nobody can complain of such a de lightful summer as this has been unless they were born in Iceland. Taixulah will have a large crowd of Athenians on its beautiful brink next Sunday. Thh Greeks and Romans made peace, but that didn’t stop the fighting. Now, let'the showers come. Good weather for gardens. Down went McGinty to places hith erto unknown to human kind, and ac cording to a bright exchange McKinley will follow him.

Atlanta, Ga., July 24.—[Special.]— The Advisory Board had a long ses sion with closed doors. Several com' panies applied for admission but were not admitted. A resolution will be in troduced in the Legislature by Major Holtzclaw at the request of the Board empowering the Board to select a per manent encampment, also giving the power to permit some companies Co encamp elsewhere if deemed best. A committee was appointed to malm n statement to the Governor of the military’s needs. The Governor was before them and charges have been preferred against Capt. Woaverof the Conyers Yolenteers for conduct unbecoming an officer. While at the encampment there was some sort of feeling between Conyers boys and the Athens hoys and when Capt. Owea was officer of the day, Weaver failed to show him the proper courtosy. These charges go to Col. Jones of the 9th regiment. O11L, THE FIFTH ONE Of a Family That luu Met With a Violent Death. Cumberland, Md., July 24.—A strange fatality pursues the Welch fina lly of this city. William Welch, who was employed as yard brakoman on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, was caught under the wheels of a shifting engine and instantly killed, being liter ally ground to pieces. He numbers the fifth member of the family that hits met with a violent death within the last fow months, four of his brothers were killed in various ways, his fattier and sister alBO died recently of grief.

The trip of the farmer orators from Atlanta here last uiglit was quite long and rather uneventful. Jerry Simpson, Gen. Weaver, Col.

The edifices are old, but so well built that the ravages of time seemed to have msfie no effect on them.
