THE OLIVE BILL AND THE ALLIANCE.
The fanners of our State have been
so oppressed by combinations against
them that they , have a perfect
horror of anything that partakes of the
nature of a trust or syndicate, and some
interested parties are ever taking ad
vantage of this to draw onr agricultu
ral element into endorsing all manner
of schemes concocted tp advance their
own interests, or importance.
. These politicians hiyre found that the
best-way to frighten 'a farmer into en
dorsement of a measure is to brand it a
“trust,” and make the issue on this
line.
At first flush many goud and conser
vative men are thus drawn into lending
their support and countenance to acts
that they afterwards discover are but
scarecrows stuffed \Vith straw, and la
belled “trust,” “syndicate” or “combi
nation” in order to incite their autago-
Mr. Olive himself belongs to one of
the most oppressive trusts against the
farmers in Georgia. He charges more
for an hour of his valuable time than
railroad would to haul a toil of freight
a thousand miles, And yet' it costs more
to build, and equip a railroad than
to cultivate the brains in tills gentle
man’s cranium. If Mr. Olive will
amend his bill to read “lawyers,”'- in
stead of “railroads,” the Farmers’ Alii
atice will be entirely justified in sup
porting it. There is no State Com mis
sion to regulate the fees of attorneys

But leave the farmer alone to think,
and work out his own solution of a
question, and he is mighty apt to get-
on the right side., lie may he for a
while beguiled, by the plausible argu
ment of a professional politician, into
giving bis countenance tp the suppres
sion of some measure that he considers
detrimental to his interests, but let
him weigh’ all the arguments, and he is
sure to get on tlic right side.
It was thus with the Olive railroad
bill. Tlie supporters of that measure
preached to the farmer that railway
consolidations meant increased charges
and poorer service, and that it was a
gigantic scheme gotten up by.the grind
ing monopolists of Yankccdom to bleed
his purse, that they might add to their
own gains. Viewing, tlfe case in this
light, a great many Alliances gave the
bill their support, which of course was
a great boom for Mr. Olive and liis
It is expected that the famous paper
signed by Simon Cameron, Ben Wade
and Zaciiariah Chandler will be made
public soon. This paper is said to be
an agreement signed by these men jus
before the war, in which they agreed to
shoot any Southern congressman who
should make any attack uppn them.
The paper was not to be made public
until all the signers were dead. Caaie-
kon was the last,and it is now supposed
that the paper will soon be published
by the person who inis it in charge.
It is a healthy sign for justice and
progress, when* we see that old unau
thorized prejudice against railroad van
ish. The people of Georgia at last be
gin to realize that these great arteries
of commerce and travel are .their co
workers and friends, and every thrust
aimed at them proves a,boomerang.
Let our fair-minded and patriotic rep
resentatives bury such outrageous
measures as the Olive bill too deep for
resurrection, even by the last toot of

Perhaps the most papular song ever written
was “Ever of Thee.”
/It is not untrue to state that no song over
hail such a sale, and certainly no publisher
ever reaped so much profit from a song as
did Mr. Turner from the publication of “Ever
of Thee.” But there is a rohiance attaching
to it which until now has not been written.
It happened in this way: On a cold day in
tile January of IK50 the door of Mr. Turner’s
music shop, in the Poultry, London, was ner
vously opened, and a most unclean, sagged
specimen of humanity dragged himself in.-
He looked as though he hadn’t been washed
for mouths. His beard was .unkempt, and
dirty, and matted. For boots ho wore some
folds of filthy rags, and in all he was a speci
men of the most degraded class of the com
munity.
Qdo of the clerks said to him: “You get
out of here.”
Two ladies who happened tcTbe in the shop
noticed his woe begone look, and were about
to offer him some money, when a Mr. T (a
clerk in the establishment), seeing the poor
fellow shivering - with cold and apparent
hunger, pitied him and brought him into the
workshop so that he might have a “warm
up” by the stove. A few minutes after, Mr.
Turner, the proprietor, came in, and, seeing
the ragged individual, asked what he wanted,
and “who allowed him lu T*
“I did,” said Mr. T ; “the poor fellow
looked so cold and miserable I couldn’t send
him out in this piercing wind without giving
him a warm, and, besides, ho says ho has got
some business with you."
“Business with mo?"
“Yes, sir; I have a song I should liko you
to’ listen to.”
Turner eyed him from head to foot, and
then laughed outright.
The miserable looking object at the stove
began to grow uneasy, and begged to . be
allowed to play the air of his song, which he
then unearthed from his rags and handed to
the music publisher. Turner looked at it and
said:
“Who wrote, this?"
“I did, sir,” came from the rags.
“You! Well, I’ll have it played over, and
if it’s any good I’ll give you something for
it. 1 ?
“I beg your pardon, sir; I’d prefer to play
it for myself.” <
“What! you playf Well, bring him up to
the piano room when he gets warm and we’ll
humor him.”
In a few minutes the bundle of rags was
seated at the concert grand piano, and “Ever
of Thee” was played for tho first time by its
composer, James Lawson.
His listeners were electrified when they
heard tills dilapidated looking tramp make.
the piano almost speak. His touch was
simply marvelous, and hi3 very soul seemed
to be at his finger tips. When ho had fin
ished he turned to his little audience and
sqjd:
“Fd liko to sing it for you, but I have a
terrible cold. I haven’t been in bed for five
nights. I’m hungry, sir, and I feel I could
not do it justice.”
Turner was almost dumb with amazement.
The air would take; be knew, it would be a
success, and. ho decided that this man hod a
history which, perhaps, might advertise tho
song. So he determined to cultivate him,
and in flattery (as ho thought) pressed him to
sing “just one stanza.” Lawson protested,
but fiually agreed, and if Turner was amazed
when he heard him play, ho was positively
enraptured when that hungry voice, hungry
with love, hungry physically, poured out in
tho sweetest of tenors tho first stanza of the
song in which his soul lived.
\It was the story of a lost love, but ho cher
ished it, and Os he sang it was easy to see that
ho lived and- breathed only for that love.
“Ever of Thee” has never been so sung since.
But that trial verso made its success, and to
the experienced publisher, Mr. Turner, it was
decidedly apparent that he. had secured a
great song. —
Addressing Mr. T , ho said: “Mr. T ,
take this man along; get him a bath, ashave,
some decent clothes; in fact, fix him up like a
gentleman, a^nd then bring him luxe and we
shall see about this song.”
T “took him along.” Ho took him to a
bath, and While the unclean was being made
clean, he bought for him a shirt, a pair of
shoes, some socks, collars, cuffs and under
wear. Then he had hipi shaved. Then thpy
hied to a clothier’s, and having removed the
rags, Lawson was quickly clad in fine rai

when I said, ‘How do you do. Miss Blank C
she quickly replied: ; :
“ ‘I’m well, Mr. Lawson, but I am surprised
to hear you tall me Miss Blank. When you
left Brighton so suddenly I thought 1 should
never see you again. You left no address,
never called again, and—well, 1 am married.’
“ ‘.To whom r 1 gasped.
“ ‘To Mr. Prize,’ she replied, pointing at the
same time to the gentleman with whom she
had been dancing.
“That ended my life. My Mario, my dream,
was gone. 1 left the hall, went to a low
gambling place, and in drink and gambling
endeavored to kill my grief. It lasted but a
’little time, for in four months I was penniless.
“Then came’my trial. The men who played
with me shunned me. My friends shut their
doors, and a few days later my last sovereign
was gone. I was utterly stranded, homeless
and unhappy as it would be possible to make
a human being. • For nights l slept ir the
cabmen’s coffee houses; then I was considered
a nuisance, and some doorstep served me for*
abed. 1 pawned every trinket; decent suit
of clothes—everything, and finally I spent
three months in a work house under an as
sumed ^natne.
“It was there the presence of Marie haunt
ed me again. One day—Christmas day—we
were at dinner. Several rich people came to
distribute among us such gifts as tobacco,
warm clothing, etc. I was hungry and didn’t
look at the visitors, when suddenly a voice
I know said to me, *My good man I which
would you prefer, some warm clothing or
some pipes and tobaccoP .1 looked up. It
was Marie. I rushed from the table out into
i the fields, and there 1 was found, hours after,
insensible.
“In my bed, there in that workhouse hos
pital, I wrote tlie words of tho song you heard
me sing today. Then I got well, and sick of
the life 1 left the place and became night
watchman at some new buildings they were
putting up in Aldersgate street. \^hile there
the music of ray song came to me. I got a
scrap of - manuscript music paper and jotted
it down, and for a time I was happy. My old
friends often passed mo at night, jolly and
careless, little dreaming that James Lawson
waa the poor night watchman who answered
their indolent questions. , ,
“Often, when all was still, I poured out my
soul iu this little soug, and after awhile the
night gamins Used to come and listen to me.
It pleased them. Tome it‘brought back the
memory of a dead love and a ruinod life.
But you are tiring of my story. There islittle

“I could not endure the solitary medita
tion of my past. I again began to drink,
lost my situation, and as a last resort I
thought that perhaps my little song was
worth a few shillings, and brought jt to Mr.
Turner."
At this the poor fellow burst into tears.
When ho was himself, again they went out,
and a few minutes afterwards Mr. Turner,
addressing Lawson, said:
“Mr. Lawson, hero is ten shillings. It will
bo enough to get your supper and a decent
room to-night To-morrow morning I want
you to call here, and I shall give you a good
position in my warehouse. As for your song,
I want you to remember this: If you keep
sober I will pay you a good royalty; but if
you spend this ten shillings in drink, not an
other penny will you get”
Lawson left the 6hop, and did not make his
appearance for five days. Then hie was in a
condition almost as bad as when ho first en
tered it. His vest was gone, his boots were
exchanged for old ones, his hat was—well, it
was an apology for a bat His coat (an old
one) was buttoned tight around his coliarless
neck, and his face was unkempt and un
shaven, as unclean as it was five days ago.
Mr. Turner looked at him.' He did not
even speak to him. The smell of bad rum
sufficiently to'»l him all ho wished to know.
Ho took a half crown from his pocket, handed
it to Lawson, and turned on his heeL Ad
dressing Mr. T——, he said: “If this man
comes here again, put him out”
Ttye composer of “Ever of Thee” immedi
ately left tho shop, and hoayen only knows

never called at Turner’s agaiu.
