COTTON COMING IN
that Colonel Livingston ooosiders the
resolution harmless, and places still an v
other interpretation upon it.
Colonel Livingston has been my per
sonal friend for a number of yean, and
I have stood by him in times of adver
sity, advell as prosperity, hot I frank
ly say that be is not the proper person
to interpret the Alliance resolution on
the railroad question. If the
legislature is in doubt as
to the interpretation of the Al
liance resolution, let them get the views
of Everett, Ellington, Corpnt, Gilmore
and others, the men who led the fight
and bad the measure adopted. As for
myself, I do not see how there could be
any trouble in interpreting the Alli
ance resolution, which reads: •‘That
the State Alliance, in convention as
sembled, do demand from the present
general assembly some law which Im
mediately and effectually enforces the
provisions of the above paragraph of
tfag constitution.” This resolution
means that the people, speaking
through the Alliance^ have declared
that the West Point Terminal it viola-

To the Editor of The Journal:
. I aee through the columns of the
press that the Judiciary committee of
the bouse has given a hearing to
prominent' railroad men, and paid at
torneys of same, in opposition to the
Berner bin. I have yet to learn qf any
one appearing before the committee in
advocacy of the measure, bat I have no
doubt Mr. Berner will, at the proper
time, appear and posh aside all neb
weak and frivolous arguments need- by
these railroad men, who admit that the
legislature is authorised by the consti
tution to pass the Berner bill, but claim
it is expedient, as it would destroy the
values of railroad property in Georgia.
| It mhdi high time that this thread
bare argument of railroad managers
and attorneys should be done away
with. When the railroad commission
I was established by the state it was
claimed that it would destroy the rail
roads, and then again, before the inter

At a meeting of the 1890 club of pro

dropped from the roll of membership.
Mr. McCrary has been, and is one of
most prominent piohibtionists in the
city.
He has, however, had the temerity
to oppose president Morphy who is
grand sachem os the club and the result
is he is decidedly out of it. There was
some kicking on this action, some of
McCrary’s frieod<claiming he should be
