THE BA&NKK ATflESS GEORGIA.OCTobee 29 lie Alliance - Transformed into a National Order, Embracing Every Farr" mer’s Union in the North', South, East and West- THE PURPOSE OF THE UNION. Will Servo the Purpose of the Al liance-Cotton Will be Packed Sans Bagging, Sans Ties—The <j jute and Tare Question For ever Settled. A TALK WITH LECTURER BECK. The Farmer’s Alliance is no longer an Alliance. It has now grown to greater and ^ore fitting proportions and every or ganization of the farming world has lieen consolidated into one solid phalanx of working men to be., known as the National Labor Union of Amer ica. Such was the information given a Banner reporter Tuesday by Hon. J. W. Beck, State lecturer of the Georgia Farmer’s Alliance, as he came out of the meeting of the Alliancemen. “What was the object of your meet ing to-day ?” asked the reporter of Mr. Beck. i -■ - “It was a meeting of the representa-. tives from the Alliances * of the sur rounding counties, and they met for the purpose of receiving the new secret works of our consolidated order,” he replied in a tone that bespoke a great deal more than his words. “Has there been a consolidation of your organization?” asked tne repor ter. “Yes, sir, it has been going on for quite a long while, bnt is just now as suming a solid and definite 6bape. We have CHANGED THE NAME of the Farmers* Alliance, and have made it an institution of a greater to fit the great causes which we advo cate. We have made a National thing «t it, embracing every agricultural or- -~M»i»atifin^throughout the country, and including tho the Farmer’s Union of North, South, RuKSnu TVwnr tovo uut organization and naming it “THE NATIONAL LABOR UNION.” We will, of course, make this upion fulfill every purpose of the (Farmer’s Alliance, and for every intent and pur pose it will remain the same. We have simply enlarged our forces, that’s all. The matter has just sifted down to a match of strength between labor and capital,” 6aid Mr. Beck, “and we are determined that monopoly and trust -can not down honest labor and domes tic economy.” “What form of organization have you?” asked the reportor. “We hiive elected a president and ether officers and the president has full power to govern and control the business of the Union as muck as the president of [any other organization. We will have a meeting of the National Labor Union in St. Louis on December 21st, and will further perfect an organization then. It will be a meeting of delegates from every Alliance, and Farmer’s Union in America, and we will pass at that meeting SOME STARTLIXG LAWS. “Could you predict the nature of some of these laws?” asked the re porter. “Yes, I know what one will will he. We will entirely change the the method of packing cotton. We have decided to use neither bagging nor ties, and will put our cotton in small hales of 125 pounds each like hay is or dinary compressed, and will bind it simply with small white wires that will he sufficiently strong to hold it. We will then put this block of cotton in cotton sacks and ship it. In this way we will do away with the Jute Trust, with the tare question and with the 60 cents per bale commission. In fact it will be a COMPLETE REFORMATION in the present methods of handling Gotten.” “Are you certain the move will pass and become effective?” we asked. “Perfectly satisfied. In fact I know it will, because w r e have been investi gating the matter carefully and quietly for some time.” Your organization, when it is made national, will in a great measure, do away with sectionalism, don’t you think? asked the reporter; “Inthat direction more than anything yet has done, and this feature assures its success. We have consummated the greatest triumph ot National growth and prosperity in the - organization of the National Labor Union of America.” The Banner reporter came away ela ted at the idea of such lofty aspirations of the farmers. They are, indeed, lofty aspirations bufthey are appropriate to {the noble calling of the farmers and tilleis of the soil. The beBt part of it all is they are practical theories which will he of full force and effect. The lance of the capitalist has been drawn against Labor and it is hut fair that .Labor should buckle on her shield for Asfense, THE DAWSON TRAGEDY- “ Attentions to a Domestic Caused An other South Garolina Murder. Columbia, S;C., Oct2i.—ThetriaToT Livery Stabie •Kpepfer W.

In both cases the alleged attention of one. of the principals to a, domestic in ; ; the other’s employ led to a murdf jj, but while Editor Dawson made the charge Of.improper conduct and was killed by the man whom he accused, Meetze fol lowed up-his charge against Judge Clark by shooting him down upon the street. . The story of the killing as told in c.ourt by Emma Rivers, the worn ’ n who was walking with Clark wheen Meetze iniuet the was, coroborated by half a dozen other eve witnesses, She had been riding with Clark in the afternoon and about 6 o’clock they went into W. F. Huseman’s gun More, where) Clark left hi6 shot gun, which he hatl been carrying. He said lie had no use for it, as he had bis pistol. The two left the store, and when they reached the City Hall corner Meetze appeared and began firitig sit Clark. The latter drew liis pistol and fired one shot after Meetze’s revolver had beendischargvlfour times. Clark was wounded and did- not aim higher than Mefetze’s knee. He did not hit him. Clark’s wife and children were on the street within sight of the shooting. Meetze ghve himself up at once and Clark’s dead body was taken home, Miss River’s story could not be shaken. She was subjected to a long and searching cross-examination as - to her relations with Clark, and passed through the humiliating ordeal of self- possession. Late this evening the jury, after be ing out for two days, reported thnt they could not agree and Judge Norton or dered a mistrial. The verdict was a great disappointment to Meetze. He was released on THE TIGER GOT A PART. A Young man Marries and Throws Away Thousand*— —— Sp-oiai m the Banner. New Yore, Oet. 21.—William Wha ley, a young man who married an heir ess to over half a million dollars, has not disappeared as was reported.

A SINGULAR (USE, A Man Under the Influence of Chloro form Stabs to Death two Physi cians. Special to the Banuea. Lyons, France, October 21.—An interesting case, which will be a difficult matter for the courts, happen ed recently in the Red Cross Hospital of Lyons. A patient was placed under the influence of chloroform, in order to be subjected to a most painful opeta- tion. At the first incision, however, the man, who was usually strong, be came conscious. Crazy with pain, he tore thekriife from the hand of the op erating surgeon, and despite the pres ence of several friends he plunged it in an instant into the hearts of Prof. Nagout and a young man who was act ing as witness. The double murderer was taken into the torture room and bound. Rec gnizing the fact that no narcotic could influence him, the ope ration was successfully performed with out its use. He will recover in all prob ability. ' The interest in his trial, which will take place in the near future, lies in the defense that he committed the double crime in a fit of • temporary in sanity caused by the extreme pain. The case will form an important chap ter in the history of medical law. THE WILD WEST "TT MR. ~iUE BALDWIN iKYADES WARRIOR'S WIGWAMS.

The weary-worn laborer will ljalt in front of Col. Baldwin’s store to snatch a niomerit’b merriment to carry to liis humble home; the merchant for the tithe forgets the cares of business in his presence; ‘ the bajjk cashier or book keeper feels that a ray of sunshine has fallen athwart his dreary, hum-drum life; : the politician catches something fresh and appropriate to rehearse on the stump; the jovial drummer would feel that be had lost a trip if he neglec ted to see Charlie "Baldwin while in Athens'; and even the preachers feel that here is good missionary ground— anil spend hours with our friend—as good church members take children to a circus, “just to let the little ones see tho aniinalB.” The world seems always brighter when Charlie Baldwin is near. The enterprising man rages of the N. E. Ga. Stock and Poultry show decided the other day that they would like to. capture Comanehee Bill and his Indians and cow-boys to swell the numerous at tractions at our fair, and appointed Messrs. Baldwin and Flanigen as a com mittee to visit the Piedmont Exposition and open negotiations. Mr. Flanigen returned home yesterday, and was in terviewed by a Banner reporter a’tout their success. “1 don’t think there is any doubt of our bringing tiie Wild West Show to Athens,” replied Mr. Flanigen. “I left Charlie Baldwin behind to com plete arrangements. It was up-hill work though, and no man in Georgia but Charlie could have made the trip. He began liis work systematically— first got an introduction to Pawnee Bill and soon so badly euchred the famous scout on stories about fighting Indians and other blood-and-thunder narratives that the new-comes was at once set flown as an old frontier veteran. Every time Pawnee Bill would unliinber about killing a redskin or rescuing a stage coach from road agents, Charlie would clean out a whole tribe, lynch a gross of outlaws, and array himself in a seal- kin overcoat made of the scalps of van quished enemies. He to d Pawnee that he got so used to slaughtering redskins he coulfl not- get to sleep at night on the plains unless serenaded by the dying war-whoop of a Sioux or Comanehee brove, and for a long tirnu that the only torch he used while travelling at night was a long line of burning wigwams. Of course Col. Pawnee Bill was delight ed to meet this old frontier veteran in the land of tenderfeet, as he expressed it and carrying Charlie into the Kim ball bai insisted that he “designate his E isen.” But his courtesy did not end ere. Charlie was introduced to ?.f rs. Pawnee William—the famous female marksman—and right here our friend got in some more of his good work— for like all good husbands Mr. Bill is largely controlled by his better half. In just fifteen minutes by the watch Charlie had captured the whole fami ly. He discussed marksmanship with Mrs.-Pawnee William, and explained that lis was a little out of practice now, hut when he lived in the Rockies the boys considered him a passably fair shot. He once surprised them by stau- dingon the summit of Pike’s Peak and knocking over a Gringo on the Rio Grande; hut fqr fancy shooting he felt rather vain of once clipping a pinion from the great American eagle as it sat sunning itself upon the dome of the Capitol at Washington, and he \s as sit ting at the foot of the. Cap of Liberty in Colorado. Col. Baldwin excused himself of giving an illustration then and there of his marksmanship—at the urgent request of Mrs. Pawnee William —on the ground that he was a devout Catholic, and had registered a vow not to touch a gun until he saw this great show on the fair grounds of Athens. But the trouble did not eud here. The next undertaking was to see the cow boys and get their eonseut to come to Athens; but here was even sailing for Charlie. Ju a short time there was not a man in the crowd but would followed such a gallant leader to the end of. the world. lie explained that the prairies (around Athens were covered with unbranded yearlings, and mus tangs ranged as thick in the town as Jack rabbits in Texas. Our rivers ran with red eye, and the arte sian wells on the Fair ground spouted split-liglitling and dead-shot. There was only one more difficulty to over come; and this was to gain the consent of the Indian attachee to the show. To meet these there, Charlie arrayed him self in tlurgarb of a great warrior. He rolled up his pants, put on a pair of carpet slippers, wrapped a horse blan ket about his gamly person, stuck his hat f.yll of feathers, and colored his face with poke-berries. This designed and distinguished fellow eitizen made his debut in the Indian camp with the ex clamation of “Ugh,” and sitting down beside the chief complacently took the pipe from that great warrior s mouth and began to smoke it himself. Had a bomb fallen in the tent the surprise could not have been greater. The Chief jabbered some unintelligible greeting to which Charlie replied with “Ugh!” and moved his seat to a chair on which a good looking squaw sat nursing a baby. He took the little brat from the mother, kissed it affectionate ly, pulled the old lady under the ehin, presented the father with a red cotton handkerchief, and in less time than it takes to tell it, had surrendered and captured the entire tribe. The news of the arrival of a great Indian warrior from the Far West spread among the red skins like wild fire, and Col. Baldwin was soon surrounded by one of the most enthusiastic groups of ad miring savages ever collected together. The only Indian dialect the Colonel knew was “Ugh!” and this ejaculation * he shot in as a reply to all the eager question! propounded. Tiie Indians ,vere so pleased with him twt the dis tinguished Chief christened him with “Ooneschatcliee,.” which interpreted meai l s/w) i g-chief- wi th - w e 11-fi 11 ed-sto m- acli.’’ At last by signs Charile made known to liis savage friends that he was the.bqes Indian agent, sent.by- the Great Father at Washington to lead them-, to a big hunting ground toward the rising sun, where red blankets grow likegrass, tijk ' ~ U ' if 1 ■ w J lv fi ve il led with ere all ah dous- scalps lit ed hy such brave hand< Did they consent to come?

ABORTING CLUB- The Young Men of Athens will Learn the Manly Art. A sporting club which will consist of nearly every young man in Athens is being organized. They have already secured a profes sional sparrer to teach them, who is none other than Martin Dempsey, for merly of Baltimore, but more recently of New Orleans. Mr. Dempsey is a brother of the not ed prize fighter. Jack Dempsey,, whose reputation ranks with the cleverest boxers of the two continents. Mr. Martin Dempsey arrived in the city at noon and will proceed at once to perfect organization of a large class of amateur sparrers in Athens. He will have no trouble in getting quite a num ber of pupils, for much interest is man ifested in athletie sports in Athens by the young men of the city and the Uni versity students. A Banner reporter had a conversa tion with Mr. Dempsey yesterda y,aud asked him several questions about the great sporting men of the country, all of whom he is well acquainted with. He himscli has been in the ling time* aud again, aud has in his professional career won many a tight over heavy weight sparrers, though he only weighs 112 when in good fighting shape. He is a noted trainer, having backed his brother Jack in his famous fight for the championship of America, and many other pugilists of great reputa tion. “I have been in the business all mj-- life,” said Mr. Dempsey to the Banner reporter, “and have seen the ups and. downs of the professional men ever since I was old enough to put on the gloves. I have come to Athens at the request of several gentlemen, to teach them the manly art and help them or ganize a spa- ring club. I understand that they simnly want to learn the arc of self-defense and physical training, and for such purposes alone have F come. I do not intend to make profes sional price fighters of any of them nor to create among them any desire to be come such. Everybody ought to know how to fight when the emergency comes.” Mr. Denisey is a short, light weight ed man, and has every appearance of an agile and skilled athlete. He will be gin to organize his class at once. He Skipped the Court. Quite an exciting little incident oc curred at the court house yesterday which caused bailiff, constable and spectator to tumble pell mell from the court room and rush after a runaway prisoner fleeing from justice. It was Lon Foster that caused the excitement. Several months ago Lon was arrested for burglary from the house of Prof. H. C. White on Milledge avenue, and plead guilty to his charge before his honor, J udge Hutchins.yesterday. He was removed to one of the jury rooms for safe keeping, but the Sheriff had scarcely turned his back on the prisoner before he was informed that Lon had leaped out of the second story window and was fleeing the sentence that awaited him. Several Bailiffs followed him, and he was [finally overtaken in Cobbham at the large tree in front of Maj. Stanley’s residence. He was brought hack and is now safely lodgnd ip the county jail once more. * ORANGE BLOSSOMS. Mr. Jeff Hood Leads Miss Addle Dobbs to the Altar In Harmony Grave.
