the Constitution recites the purpoit o'
the letter referred to.
Since the action of the People’s part;

no hand whatever in Georgia politics,
and don’t intend to. Until that event
I urged [alliancemen to stick to th<
Democratic party, and angered man;
of my former friends by such advice. 1
did not see then, and do not see now
what our farmers can possibly hope t<
gain by getting the white vote in tb
South, and leaving the settlement of
their political differences to the negrt
which will certainly be the result whei
our farmer uemoorata divide.
And again, it iB the poor white ma*

ted States that advocates the Ocala
platform, with every 1 dotted and ev
ery t crossed. Three years ago, such a
paper, run at an expense of about $2W
a day, as is the Columbia Register,
could not have lived. And yet in six
months’ time we have added five-fold
to our weekly list, and doubled ou
daily subscription.
We are carryirgout ia South Caro
lina the same policy that I tried to get
the alliance to adopt in Georgia— t
fight for their demands from behind
the ramparts of organized democracy,
and under the Ocala banner. Ab a re
sult, South Carolina is the only state ii
our Union that has made the alliance
platform the democratic platform. We
will nominate and elect an alliance
govei nor, an alliance legislature, and
seveu congressmen pledged to battle for
the Ocala demands. What more can
onr farmers ask or desire?
But m Geoorgia, my alliance breth
ren saw proper to differ with my views,
and determined on independent politi
cal action. I would not oppose them,
and could not go w ith them, so I left
the state, and refused to put a single
Stumbling-block in their way.
; These alliancemen voluntarily turn
ed the machinery of government
oyer to a faction of the democratic
party that repudiated their demands,
and decided to battle for their princi
ples outride of the old party lines
had several offers to write for Demo
cratic papers in your State, but declined
to do so, as it was out of my present
territory, and, besides, I could not con
sistently opp'se men who were fighting
for the doctrine that I myself had
t iught them. I do not mean Thiid
partyism, but the declarations of the
farmer’s alliance. They are working in
Georgia, in the People’s party for tbe
same ends that I am trying to achieve in
South Carolina in tbe Democratic party.
The November elections will show
which course is tbe wisest.
I did not espouse the cause of the al
liance for either effloe or reward. It
has been the desire of my life to elevate
the condition of our agricultural classes,
and lift the burthen Lorn their back;
and did I believe that this could soones
be secured by uniting with the People’s
party, I would today be in Georgia bat
tling with its adherents.
These so-called Third party men
are as patrotio and honest in their in
tentions as are we Democrats. They
have despaired of securing relief
through the old party, and are driven
to the position that they have taken
through desperation. You can never
convert them by abase of their platform
or their leaders. Col. W. L. Peek lean
honest and pure man, and so is Dr
Robins, of Greene. I know both gen
tlemen intimately, * and they are my
personal frien Is.
You must bring them back Into the
democratic fold with argument and rea
son, and nominate for office candidates
in whom these farmers can rely.
I have warm friends on both sides in
your state, and again I am now engaged
in fighting for alliance-democracy in
outh Carolina. 1 have no donbt bat
that my efforts here will be crowned
with sneoess; and let me here say, that
if the Georgia press will do as good
work in my old state for their party as
tbe Columbia B-gister will do in South
Carolina, you need have no fear of the

COLLINS’FRUIT FARM.
Only Two MUea From the Cltv and a
Paying Business.
Mr. Willis Collins, living only two
miles from Athens on the Danlelsville
road, has now one of the finest fruit
farms in this section and is giving it a
great deal of attention and is receiving
good pay for the work be has done on
it. Mr. Collins has s large tract of land
well watered, having 50 springs on the
place, and here can be found hundreds
of peach trees of every variety. Pear
trees without number. Apples of all
siz s and taste. Cherries of the best
fl ivor. Plums in a large orchard and a
vineyard that will equal any in the
Southern States. Mr. Collins also has
a large number of bee gums that pays
him better for the money invested, than
any other thing that he bason bis farm.
Mr. Collins is ronninga waggon into
the city every day and ships large
quantities of his splendid fruit to all
parts of the State. He started the fruit
farm on a small soale,but finding out
that there was money in it, is now en
larging it, and before many years we
may look for ColUnr’fruit farm to cover
hundreds of acres of ground. It is a
treat to visit this farm where Mr. Col
lins will give all a glad welcome.
