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. McGicty 1 & Hiunnic.utt lor $2,7;>5 and 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 they hold it 'i 'What’s the matter w ith the Alliance?

To so complimentary ;iu invitation, on the part of - so large, responsible and inilu- eniinl portion of thy constituency, 1 could not fail to respond, and therefore will take pleasure in complying with the request, at the same time and place indicated in your communication.

The Georgia excursionists spent yes terday in visiting the farms around Dayton Ohio, Rev. E. R. Walls, teacher of a coun try school near Birmingham, Ala., was fatally assaulted by a half dozen pat rons of the school for severely w hipping their children. He is expected to die. Mr. Tuck introduced a bill In the Legislature yesterday to amend the charter of Athens, The Administration is getting itself into bad odor all around this year, and its degradation of the Republican party- in Virginia is about as complete as it could be. Prof H.C. White. The vindication of Prof. H. C. 'White from the charge of neglect or careless ness in the duties of state chemist was full and complete. Prof. White is an ex pert and conscientious man. He is progressive and practical, as well as a learned and able officer—an advanced scientist and accomplished gentleman. Whatever differences may have existed between Prof. White and other chemists upon matters of analysis are chargeable to other reasons than a neglect of duty or a betrayal of trust. The letters of com pliraent and confidence w ritten Prof White by the special committee of in vestigation and by the commissioner of agriculture furnish a complete vindica tion, if one was needed, of the charges which were trumped up against him. A few day ago two men were in Smith's barber shop. One had red hair and the other was bald-head. Red hair (to Baldl head): “Yon were not about when they were givingout hair” Bald head: “Yes I was there, but they only Bad a little red hair left,and I wonldn t take it, . - . A Good Appointment. Capt. James 6’Farrell has been ap- r iinted splicting agent at the C. & M. I Railroad at this place. 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: W. S. Hot.max, President. C. W. Baldwin, Vice President. C. D. Flaxioks, Secretary, E. T. Bkown, Treasurer. niBECTOIiS : W. S. HoiJ&xit. J. T. Voss. E. T. Brown. G. T. Hodgson. J.N. Booth. C. W. Baldwin. T. L. Gantt. ,1. Y\ ( aritiieks. (!. J>, Flanigkx. 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. liir!0CA XSXT M03STT, M- X>.

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. qii- ■ ilj'-i' GfclORC A Manufacturers of Iron and llrass- Castings, Mill and Machinery Shafting, Pulleys, Hangers and Baxes, Cotton Presses, Care Mills and Evaporators, Cotton Seed Crushers and Circular o:nv Mills. w\: sell the Atlas TSteapiEngines, Injectors, Jet Pumps Valve ; s, Piping and Steam Packings, Water Wheels and Pelting Cloth.
