' THE COTTON CONVENTION The State Alliance of South Caro lina did something better at its recent meeting than sitidly listening to a > debate between Tillman and TerrelL The farmers of the fiery little state are wise enough to know that political discussions do not raise cotton crops, do not beep corn fields clean of grass, and do not put bread in the mouths of their loved ones at home. The farmers in the land of Pal metto trees know that when farmers get together the best tiding to discuss is farming. And they did it at that Tillman-Terrell convention. They have decided to hold a con vention to which all Southern Allian ces are invited to Bend representa tives. The purpose Of this conven tion is'to discuss the matter of planting cotton next year, how much to plant or how little,, etc. The convention is to be held in Atlanta in September next and it by all means ought to be largely atten ded by farmers from every section and region of the South. „ Following is the resolution adopted by the South Carolina convention calling the Alliances of the Southern States to meet in Atlanta in a cotton convention : “Resolved, First that we, the State Alliance of South Carolina, assem bled in annual session, do recoin mend and urge the holding of a cot ton convention in the city of Atlanta, Ga.,commencing on the first Wednes day in September next “Second. That the subjects to be considered at this meeting are here*, by partially suggested : (a), the cot ton acreage, can it be regulated and controlled? (b), the gathering and handling of the crop on the farm; can it be improved? (c), the ship ment, grading and selling'of our sta ple; can it be so regulated as to do equal 'justice both to producer and consumer ?’ “Third, That this State Alliance hereby extends a cordial invitation to each State Alliance in the Cotton States to be represented at this con vention, for unless the entire cotton interest is represented this proposed convention and its objects will be in vain. “Fourth, That representation is cordially invited from all other ag ricultural associations ad well as th Farmers’ Alliance at the open meet logs of the convention. “Fifth. That the colored Alliance ot the Cotton States are invited to send'representatives from each of its State organizations. The secretary is instructed to extend all cotton growers an invitation to participate in said convention.” The newspapers of the South ought to interest themselves in this matter The editorial printed above is copied, heading and all, from our much esteemed contemporary, the Tribune-of-Rome. The Banner waves [a grateful sa lute to Rome’s Tribune in response —grateful for the justice of a frank restore to the little children the priceless treasure of a father’s love and care; to bring back the rosy color to the cheeks of the patient wife; to ease and. comfort the old mother, whose locks have been pre maturely whitened by the dissipa tions of a wandering boy; to make the world better^ and brighter in every particular and to hasten the day when intemperance shall no Ion* ger find an abiding place in the homes of the people—these are the objects of Good Templarism, and they are grand ones. To aid in the upbuilding of such an order should be esteemed a high privilege, for the work it does ends in untold good to the republic. The gates of Athens’ hospitality are thrown wide open, and the Good Iemplars are given full possession of the city. May they be well pleased with their viBit to oar beautiful city, and go out from here feeling all the bet ter for their visit. at once, and the farmers of the South ought (o work up a large attendance ie cotton convention in Atlanta. HE IS NO DEMOCRAT. Just because the Tribune-of-Romo has been quarreling with an Athens paper, it needn’t clqim the right to “jump on” everything ip Athens. Tt ought at least to get its facts down straight when it wishes to attack: sucji a man as the mayor of Athens. —Athens Banner The Tribnnenof-Rome has had no It quarrel with any Athens has too much respect for tlTe hanker to enter into a quarrel with it, and too much respect „for itself to notice any other Athene paper. When The Tribone-of..Rome attacked Mayor Brown and charged him with having been a candidate for the legislature who had abused the Alliance, it did 80' honestly, * having been so in formed. * . But Mayor Brown is not “asgpod a democrat as any one who ever edis ted The Tribune-of-Rome.” Mayoi Brown has swallowed the Ocala plat form and the man who does.,that is no democrat.

AT THE CONFERENCE* AN INTERESTING MEETING DOWN AT WHITE PLAINS. SPLENDID HOSPITALITY. A Banner Representative on the Scene—A Memorable District Con ference Held Among the Good People of White Plains. The 26th District Conference of the Athens district of the at. E. Church South, convened in annual session at White Plains on Weduesday evening, July 22nfi. 1891. A large number of delegates, clerical and lay, were in at tendance. The introductory sermon was preach ed on Wednesday night by Rev. Mr. Akin, of Greensboro, the text being, “What is that to thee?—follow* thou me.” The sermon was-foroible and el oquent, and urged an intensely person al work on every man, and the following of the Lord. On Thursday ence organized pointment of L. the confer- Thk People’s party it appears is get ting ready for a great hurrah in Kansas and arrangements will be made for the holding of camp meetings in each of the seven Congressional districts of the State. x Tkese meetings will be oondne ted by the Farmers’ Alliance which the secretary of the organization de clares is determined to make an aotive fall campaign, and to strengthen its grip on the State.' The month of Sep tember has been selected for the grand round up and other leaders who now working in the Southern States will be called to Kansas, for service on the stump. i morning rarily by the ap- , Shackleford, of Athens, us Secretary, and Mr. Tappan, of White Plains, aS Assistant Secretary. Rev. H. H. Parks, the Presiding Eider, presided with ease and dignity over the deliberations of the conference. The roll was then called and perfected as far as possible, after which commit tees were appointed on the itate of the Church; on Temperance, on Finance, on the Profanation of the Sabbath, on Educational Interests, and on Sunday Schools, with the usual stamling com mittee on Public worship. During the morning session reports were heard from some of the charges, but at 11 o’clock the conference ad journed for preaching. , , j The pulpit was filled at this hour, by the Rev. J. S. Bryan, of Athens, the burden of his discourse being on the spirituality of the religion of the Bible. it was a masterly effort, and produced a very profonud impression on the large audience. AFTERNOON SESSION The conference met at 3 o’clock when a permanent organization was affected by the election of Mr. J. F. Dillard .as permanent secretary and Mr. Johnson as assistant. Reports from the pastors of the various charges were now re ceived during this session and that of tbt following It may be we syst to be improved upon, and should be at tended to by the present 1 egislature.— Boston World Correct yon are.

' Yes, and more. The rooster walks the barn yaitf. He is an allianoeman bo to speak and that counta for much. Henry Watterson says: Let us hope that the prophets who are predicting that the end of the world is near may be wrong. H6w would the United States look on the morning of the day of judgment with a repulic&n admin istration and an empty treasury? on the same platform with the men who believe in the sob-treasury scheme, who want the government to own the railroads, and a lot ofpther unconstitutional and eilljr&taff. Nor does. The Tribute. of Rome allow local prejudice or geographical lines to warp its loyalty or waver its ad hesion to the banner of Jeffersonian and Jaoksooian democracy. The fact that tbe Tribune of Rome made a mistake, for which it apolo gises,4n 'stating that Mayor Brown was once a candidate for the legisla ture from Clarke county, cuts no figure in defining Mayor Bfown’s present political statue. There can be no mistaking that status since Mayor Brown’s recent address of welcome to the Ocala platform and Third party evangefists, as they sat under the wide-spreading oaks on the classic campus of the State Uni- rsity. That speech took Mayor Brown right into tbe bosom of the Alliance Third party crowd and made him one of them. Imagine sucl\ a demo crat as Grover Cleveland or David B. Hill or Senator George or any. other good democrat making such a speech! Imagine it? Why such a thing bnflles imagination and balks the wildest dreamer ! If The Athens Banner endorses The Athens Banner keeps a “Sub- Lazy Man” on its reportorial corps, and tbe Atlanta Journal an “Idler.” And yet, they are both regular hoste lers.—Covington Star. Th* Banner and the Journal have none other but hustlers. They - i two of a kind in this respect. Will somebody please explain why a man cannot be an Allianceman and at the same time be a democrat? Will some of our newspaper brethren who are always doubting the democracy of the fanners explain this. The Augusta and Chattanooga rail road is by no means dead. Matters are just remaining quiet until the money stringency relaxes. Wait and see. The political atmosphere is giving the political barometer some pretty doubtful changes just at present.

The atten dance upon public worship (with few acceptions) was reported good, and the social meetings of the church were represented as being well attended. In regard to th| duty of family prayer and the ob servance of the Lord’s Supper, it was urged that these impoitant parts of a religious life be urged upon our mem bers, as the percentage of those who were faithful in tbe performance of those obligations was not as large as it should be. On Thursday night Rev. A.J. Hughes gave a very able and thoughtful ser mon, which was much enjoyed by the audience. FRIDAY’S SESSION. The usual reports from the were received until the hour of whea Rev. W. A. Candler, of College,gave one of his eloquent and fective Borinons. His theme was the Heroism of tbe religion of Jeans.” He showed that our Divine Lord was a revolutionist and attacked and over turned many of the traditions and theories of the Pharisees, Scribes and Doctors. - Dr. Candler attacked many of tbe shams and fallacies of the times and showed that the heroic religion was now .the need of the times, that the church might oppose tbe money kings and other false deities that were en throning themselves in the public heart over the land. The sermon created the most profound impression. AFTERNOON SESSION. The special order of the Friday after noon session was the election of dele gates to the Annual Conference, which meets in .

These reports were adopted. The committee on the Sabbath introduced resolutions against the profanation of that day, in the way of railroad trains, Sunday newspapers, Sunday visits, big dinners on that day, singings, pleasure visits, Ac., all of which were declared to be violations of the sacred day. A paper was read deprecating the tendency towards the Continental Sab bath and petitioning that the World’s Fair be closed on the Sabbath days.

The place where the yellow 8tufl* of power was sought is the hill on Broad street overlooking the Tanyard branch. The Mr. John GUleland, father monedand came to tbe side of the wounded negro. Hafouud, the boy so badly hurt that he conld not turn him over without running the risk of killing him. The examination of the doctor proved very little beyond the fact that the negro was seriously injured. His arm was broken, and his collar bone was fractured,but the most-serious injury Is thought to be in his spine. He had evidently been hit by a ruck thrown from some one behind. The three negroes who were standing by were apprehended and sent to jail. They were Ed Armstrong, Bob Smith and Bob Craddock. They were an dumb as oysters and would talk but little about tbe affair. One of them said he knew the boy who threw the rock bat wouldn’t tell bis name. It is believed that there were tw* other negroes -connected with the as sault, and that one of them threw tbe rock. Policemen Kelley and Goodrum, who made the arrests, have their eyes upon one of these negroes whom they tbink threw the rock. Thu three negroes now in custody are undoubtedly accessories to the crime, and Dr. Whaley considers the condi tion of the negro boy as very serious, and that it may terminate fatally. The attack seems to have been a very brutal one, and done in a spirit of mal ice and vengeance. Collins is a mere boy, and at the time be received the blow that felled him to the earth, he was running for dear life. If the boy dies some negro may stretch hemp as a result of a verdict of Clarke county jurymen. of the late Mr. W. A. Gilleland once bad a small size gold, mine. He dug out eighteen dollars Worth’ at a cost of |36. But is said there are indications of a heavy view in that section of the city.
