The Alliance is still on top. Their
warehouse u ill he btillt by October the
10th, and will be thrown wu.lt? open to
lCeeive their eotcon as fastas it rolls in
and all in due time.
The plan for the warehouse was
shown us yesterday by Mr. T.-N. Les
ter, and it will be a spacious one, fully
capacitated to hold the coming crop of
the Alliance. The building is to be
two hundred and llfty lVot long, and
olio hundred and ton feet wide, It will
have an inside court of IS feet in
lenghth.
The contract for the building of this
warehouse was let yes ten. ay to .Messrs.

will be finished by October 10th.
The Alliance means business. They
say they are not antagonistic to the
merchants and do not intend to pull
down their interests at all, but that they
are united against all monopolies that
have fought them in the past, and in
tend to kill them out,in to to.]
The question as to whether the far
mors could hold their cotUn or not is
once and forever settled, and those who
have laughed at the idea of the fanners
holding cotton, “not a-pound of which
b longs to them,” will soon see that
they have laughed too soon.
The farmers will have money. Their
way has already been made clear for
the securing all the money they want,
and a meeting of the Alliance will be
held in Athens on the 20th inst. at
which these plans will be consummated
The farmers will liquidate their debts to
the merchants, and will at the same
time hold their cotton.
They will have a warehouse to put it
in, will have Alliance men to manage
the warehouse, will get plenty of
money on their cotton—and why can’t

Capt. James 6’Farrell has been ap-

Our Alliance friend", having found it
impracticable to take hold of tin* Fair
and carry it through together with the'
building o£ their warehouse and the
vast amount of other work which. i-> now
resting on them, a company of several
enterprising citizens have taken the
matter in hand and w ill see to it that
Athens will have a Fair. They were
determined that the Fair should not be
abandoned this year by any mean®,since
it is the most abundant year the coun
try has ever known.
This company, of gentlemen loud a
meeting yesterday afternoon ami de
cided to give the fair on their own re-
■sponsihilities, and for thi® purpose
they at once subscribed si.*200. The
men formed themselves into a stock and
poultry company, and this amount was
subscribed on the spot for the purpose
of carrying on the Fair.
The company who will take the Fair
in hand perfected their organization
yesterday at their meeting and ejected
the following officers:

They decided that it would.,he too
late to enter into a regular agricultural
and mineral exposition Fair, and con
sequently will devote mu-t of their
tcntion to prize racing, baseball and j
various sports of every line. They
make arrangements to have s. lenuid ■
racing, and will have all of tne be-t ■
ravers from Macon that will be at the
State Fair as well as those from the
Piedmont Exposition in Atlanta.
r i be company will also pay much at
tention to races between Georgia raised
horses, and will offer some handsome
prizes on these races.
They will invite Mr. Henry }V. Grady
tn open the fair with bis u no quailed elo
quence and will give him a royal ova
tion if lie accepts. He will accept, for
Vtnens is his home, ami it would be
like refusing an invitation from his
own home people should he not accept.
Of course Mr.Grady will open an Ath
ens Fair.
An effort will also be made to get
Governor Gordon and Mr. Livingston
to deliver speehes, and in fact a most
enjoyable andattractive program will be
arranged in this ff'ay each day.
They will give one special day to the
Fanners’ Alliance and will tender invi
tations to all of the Alliance men to be
present. A handsome prize will be
given to the Alliance that musters the
largest rumber of members at the fair
On each day there will be a most at
tractive program consisting of racing
running base ball, walking-matches,
athletic sports, prize drills and every
thing calculated to make it a first class
fair.
For each contest a nice prize will be
given and the company will see to it
that the very best amusements of every
kind will l»e present. Every base hall
team in the State will be invited to take
charge. Every racer that comes to the
Georgia fairs will be brought here, a
grand display of fireworks will be given
and it will be a grand reunion of every
class of people in Northeast Georgia,
at which their several interests may he
studied as one. The Alliance will be
advertised-and established in the eves
of the people in a cleaver light than
ever before, while the merchants will
Can be Successfully Grown iu Geor
gia.
Prof. Bond, principal of the Athens
City Schools, tells The Banner that a
gentleman near Macon, lias experience
with the production of jute, and has
grown it most successfully, clearly
proving that Georgia is equally as well
adapted to the growth of this valuable
weed as India, The jute near Macon
I attains a height of from ten to twelve
! feet, and from 5,000 to S,000 pounds per
acre can be raised:
The only trouble about it is the diffi
culty of separating the slieii from the
fibre, as no machinery has as yet been
invented that will successfully do the
work. lit Indian the jute is cut and
thrown into vats, where it is allowed
to remain and decay, when the fibre is
easily separated. There labor is very
cheap, and this is done by the hard
process.
But American ingenuity will some
day invent a machine to do this work,
when our cotton planters can beat the
jute trust at their own game, and at
the same time a new crop will be
opened to them. The Alliance can
raise their own jute, build their own
buggies, factories, and thus absolutely
make the cotton crop independent of
the extortions of trusts.
We look with great interest to this
jute experiment in Georgia,, and be
lieve it will succeed. It is certainly the
best and cheapest covering for cotton,as
it will not be a successful experiment to
use a material that is worth ten cents a
pound for this purpose, wheu one
equally a3 good, can be given for less
than ten cents.
We hope that our farmers will close
ly watch that little jute patch neav Ma
con, and it would be a good idea for the
Alliance to offer a handsome sum to the
man who will invent a machine that
will successfully work the weed.

MACHINE WOKRS,
Cotton has Stopped Growing and Uama-
tured Bolls Opening.
Mr. Tom Hudson, a prominent farm
er of this county, was in the city yes
terday, and m reply to a question from
a Banner reporter, stated that while
the hay and corn crops were the best
I he ever saw, that cotton has stopped
j growing, and he noticed bolls .not lar
ger than the end of his thumb craek-
w:ll j jug open. The stalks are shedding and
turning red, and the staple seems to
have done all that it can. Mr. Hudson,
however, stated there were a great
many grown bolls on the stalks.
Mr. Stencil Baundh. who cultivates
the county farm, Says this reddish cast
in cotton is caused by the rust, Brought
on by tlje wet spell. He says, however,
that it is the time of year for cotton to
stop growing and begin to open. He
says the crop is not seriously hurt, and
a fine yield will doubtless be made.
Mr. Bauneh has not clearly examined
his fields, but says that all the small
b»lls will develop and make lint, lie lias
noticed some shedding oil*.
COTTON BAGGING.
How It Is Being Used by the Farmer’s
Alliance.
The farmers arc falling into use of.
cotton bagging right gracefully and will
use it almost exclusively from the
present outlook.
The cotton as it conies into market so
far has been wrapped iu cotton and
jute bagging in about even proportions,
but the jute is second hand jute for the
most part, or new jute which the farm
er’s had left over from last season.
But with all this, half of the cotton
that is being brought in is packed in
cotton bagging, and so soon as the jute
which the farmers have on hand gives
out we predict that the cotton bagging
will be used exclusively. The Alli-
ancemen are determined to patronize
no more of the Jute Trust’s bagging,
and say they will have no trouble in
getting the cotton bagging in as large
quantities as they desire.
A Fight to Death.
A sad occurrence in St. Louis, on
Monday night, will doubtless intensify
the growing reprobation of prize fight
ing. A young man named Thomas E.
Jackson,ambitious of figuring as a prize
ring champion, engaged in a fight with
Ed. Anearn, a professional bruiser, in
a saloon. They fought eleven rounds,
drawing blood in each, until finally
young Jackson fell unconscious and
covered with blood. Three physieians
were called in, but be died in a few
hours. He was the son of a well known
local politician and of cood family. .
The chief of police h;i3 ordered the ar
rest of all the parties in any way con
cerned in this deplorable affair, and
there are quite i number of . hem.
