It is a waste of time to demand a »»d iruens man ever knew. committal on the Sub^Treasuiy bill from one branch of the law-making department of our government, if the other is to be left unguarded. The Farmer's Alliance of Georgia is composed of men of seiiB-, char acter and determination. They are now eugaged in a great and impor tant work, and do not propose to be balked or deterred by any human agency.

Gordon has told the farmers tit at he would not support the Sub- Treasury bill. That hold declara tion is in beeping with his whole life I an j tore the brunt of the conflict, and character. It raises Gordon in When I started the crusade for white the respect and confidence of every man’s supremacy in Georgia, and de- lionorable and brave man, and shows that he does not seek to climb into office under false colors. But at the same lime, this notice has put the Alliance on its guard ; and it would be an almost fatal dared war to the knife against all scal- lawags, carpet-baggers and negro post masters, the. patriotic people of the Free State were foundat my right hand.

It would he a most humiliating con cession on the part of the Alliance and one that no brave and true men can make, and a concession, too,that we do not believe Gov. Gordon would ask. . •_ There are other ways in which Georgia can honor this great soldier and statesman, without the Alliance discarding the principal plank on which the order to-day stands. Gov. Gordon will assuredly give the farmers the same privilege that he claims for himself—if he cannoi consistently support the Sub-Treas ury bill, he cannot expect, in turn, any true Allianceman to sacrifice his convictions and repudiate the principles of his order, by supporting him for an office around which clings the honor, the success and almost the existence of the Alliance itself. An Ohio Belle Elopes With a Negro. Upper Sandusky, O., August 21.— Miss Altbaugli, a pretty and heretofore universally respected girl of nineteen, eloped to-day with a colored fellow named Dart, a comparative stranger, who was a cook at one of the hojels. The parents and friends of the young lady are crazed at her action. Quay’s Close Friend. Special by Mews Telegram Association. New Yohk, August 21.—A special to the World from Pottsville, Pa-.sav s: Major Samuel A. Losehe, for many years one of Senator Quay’s closest po litical friends and long an attache of his staff at Harrisburg, has come out open- iy against bis old chief. It has been seventy six years since a hanging took place in Glynn county. Green couuty is to a stock and cattle allow. ' select for discussion today. They say in Athens that it matters not what topic is brought up, that I am sure to riug in the Alliance and the sub-treasury bill. I tell you, my fellow-countrymen, when I think of the wrongs and oppres sions to which the farmers of our land have been so long sub jected — when 1 see this brave, patient and long-suffering class at last aroused to a realization of their situation, and making the most desper ate and heroic efforts for relief—when I see the combined capital and power of the world thrown against them—my whole heart and soul go forth in their behalf, and my only regret is that I have but one frail body and one feeble pen to enlist in their cause. I feel that in toy support of the Farmers* Al liance I have espoused the grandest cause and undertaken the noblest mis sion ever assumed by mortal man. How any good and patriotic Ameri can citizen, who has the happiness and prosperity of his common country at heart, can oppose this organization of the fanners is beyond my comprehen sion. S I look around me and see that while a few favored individuals are accumulat ing unreasonable fortunes, the great mass of my fellow-countrymen are be ing crashed into poverty between the millstones bt capital. I sec springing up on every hand, as if by magic, the most magnificent towns and cities. I see our hilltops dotted and our streams lined with manufactories, and our great state «heckered with railroads. I see aU of these individuals,enterprises and corpo rations blossoming as a rose and flour ishing like the green bay tree. Then I look upon the farmer—the man upon whom we all depend for support and prosperity—and I see him burthened the position that I occupy in regard to this Alliance movement without being accused of selfish or ambitious motives. If 1 were looking out for my own indi vidual gain and benefit, I would have enlisted on the side of the corporations and capitalists, for there the money lies. If I sought political preferment, the time lias passed. 1 tell you here today, that there is no office in the gift of the American people that I seek or that I desire. My only aim and ambition has ever been, and will continue to.be, is to labor for the success of my party, for the supremacy of the white race, for the development and up-building of my country, and for the prosperity and happiness of my whole people From the day the Farmers’ Alliame was organized, I looked upon it as the hope of our land, and then and there re solved that, come weal. come woe, I would do battle under its banner, and stand by the farmers in tbeir just and righteous struggle to the end. I say, my friends, and the words,too, come from the bottom of my heart, God ble«s and God speed the AlliancIt is to you tillers of the soil a declaration of independence against the tyranny of rings, trusts and extortioners—and like the white plume of Henry of Nevarre, will lead you to battle and to victory. Look around you today, my farmer friends, and compare your condition with what it was before this Alliance movement was organized. Compare your store accounts made in 1890 with those incurred in 1888, and then dare tell me that the Alli ance has not proven your friend and benefactor? It was the Alliance that rnet and overcame the juto trust—tlio strongest organization in America— and its great work has just begun. It was tbo Alliance that has cleaned out the Augean stables of politics, and will place in office men who are pledged to the defense of your rights and your in terests. It was the Alliance that raised the farmer from his crushed and help less position, and made his calling oue of honor and respect thioughonc the length a breadth of our country. And it is the Alliance, my friends, that will lift you from the very depths of ruin and bankruptcy, and place you in your righteous and God-ordained position among the freemen and rulers of your land. 1 cannot imagine a greater calamity that could befull our country than that the Alliance should disband. It would mean the re-enslavement of cvery;tiller of the soil in America, and the dawn of freedom now breaking upon our lar- mers would become a night of oppres sion. And right here let me say to every farmer beneath the sound of my voice, that if you are not enrolled in the ranks of this noble organization, lose no time in sending in your application; and then let your highest aim—next to the duty you owe to your God—be to live up to its teachings and its principles. This is a duty you owe to yourself, to your country, to your calling and to your family. In union there is strength. So long as the farmers remained a disorganized body, they were the helpless prey of any and every man who saw fit to take ad vantage of their dependent condition; but with the farmers united, they can bid defiance to the world. My greatest regret is that I am not eligible to mem bership in,the Alliance; and were I ~k farmer, I would send in my application to tlie nearest lodge ere yonder sun had set. Never has there been an organiza tion in America, since the declaration of independence was signed, that has met with such bitter and determined opposition as the Farmers’ Alliance. It lias been assailed on all sides, and by every element and every class. Why, the papers and politicians openly charged the Alliance with being a secret, oath-bound organization, form ed for the purpose of breaking down the democratic party. Why, my far mer friends, the Alliance within itself is the democratic party. While you held your secret meetings—as every class of our citizens have a light to do— you fought your political battles in broad daylight, beneath our Southern skies; you fought them in the democratic ranks, and with bal- lots;and by democratic ballots you won the grandest political victory in the an nals of our state. The Alliance in Georgia, South Carolina and other southern states did not break up the democratic party, as prophesied—they simply swallowed the party, spat out a few old moss-backed politicians and office-holders, and pursued the even tenor of its way. But your grand victory this year is only a foretaste of what is in store. The Augean stable is not yet thoroughly cleased, but this needful work will be completed in due time. The AHiancemen of Georgia are not alone in their great fight for relief. The farmers in every Southern and Western state are to-day aroused and doing ns noble and successful battle as are their brothers in Georgia. From the prairies of Kansas anil Nebraska to the ocean- bound shores extending from Maryland to Florida; and from the great lakes on tlie North to the balmy waters of the Gulf, the farmers of our great nation are to-day working and voting together as one tnan. Even now you have your oppressors and tyrants trembling on their very thrones, and their overthrow as a proof of this fact, you will find the combined monied powers of the world ridw arrayed against it. In my support of this measure I have made more enemies, estranged more friends, and received more abuse than for any cause 1 have ever espoused. And 1 cannot blame certain men and classosjwho have so long fed and fattened upon the mis eries and utter helplessness of the far mer, for opposing this bill—tor at one stroke of the President’s approving pen it strikes from the limbs of every tiller of the soil the last shackle that binds him to his taskmaster. It is a most far- reaching and sweeping measure for the emancipation of our agricultural ele ment—for the day that this sub-treasury hill is a law, ever}’ farmer becomes his own banker, his own cotton laetor, and the sole master of his own crop; and it renders him independent of the op pressive power of combined capital, whether it be in the guise of a ring, a trust, a speculator or an extortioner. Every argument that the brain of our statesmen can frame; eveiy influence that money can buy, and every power that force can command, has been brought to bear to defeat this bill. Its obituary has been written time and again ; but thank God, the sub-treasury bill is today the livest issue in our American politics. 1 have taken up in iny paper, one by boys. The Alliance of Georgia 'has made a noble fiiht and won a great victory. You have nominated, and will elect, a sub-treasury governor; a majority of your next representatives in Congress are. pledged to support the sub-treasury bill, and you will also elect a sub-treas ury legislature. Now, ray friends, 6ee that this body in turn eleots a sub-treas ury senator. Georgia loves and honors .To m B. Gordon. He was a brave sol dier. He is a patriot and a statesman; but since he has proclaimed himself opposed to this great measure of relief for our fanners, he is not the man to represent tlie Alliance in the upper house of Congress. The fight that the Alliance made on members of the house would he worse thau useless if they fail ed to guard with equal care the other law-making branch of our government It is in the Senate where the lymle.-c and bitterest fight will be made against the sub-treasury bill, and the farmers of Georgia must have in that body a repre sentative who stands pledged to vote for and support this measure.) My Alliance friends, 1 am enlisted with you to the end, and so long as I can wield a pen or raise my voice I shall champion your cause. All I ask is that you stand together and work together, Close your ears to the Siren song of pol iticians and office-seekers; select Alii- An Awful Sore Limb. Flesh a Mass of Disease.

So far as those parties are concerned who are engaged in fighting this bill for their own selfish ends, I know that they are incapable of receiving reason—for to argue with a capitalist in favor of this sub-treasury bill is like waving a red rag in front of a mad bull. But, my farmer friends,there is an ar. gument in favor of this bill written in letters so large and plain that he who runs may read. Cotton a few weeks ago was worth twelve cents a pound Last fall the farmer was paid from tiine to ten cents. Here is a difference < f from two to three cents per pound,, or from $10 to $15 per bale, between what the speculators received and what the men were paid who dug this crop from the ground by their horny hands and watered it with the sweat of their hon est brows. The Georgia farmers last year raised nearly 1,000,000 bales of cot ton, and were robbed of over $10,000,000 to benefit the speculator. Why, this vast sum of money would build a gov ernment warehouse in every county in our state—would take many a hard day’s labor from that poor farmer’s back and give many a comfort to his wife and lit tle ones. Let this sub-treasury bill be come a law, and the enormous profits annually going into the pockets of the greedy speculator will remain in the hands of the men who made the crop. But this great bill will do even more than this for you. It will enable the farmer to hold his cotton and dictate prices.

I j that day will follow night, see one class fattening on the good. My farmer friends, by far tbe most thingsof the land—to the other is thrown important measure for your rolief ever the hufiks. I see jfcbe enormous wealth ntr educed is the sub-treasury b.Jl; and and the Alliance to hold tbe farmers to gether, and make them act in unity and concert, there is no reason why our Southern cotton planters cannot dictate prices to New York and Liverpool, in steiul of having prices for their *reat sta ple fixed by strangers. I believe that it is only a question of time when the sub treasury bill will be passed, and cotton worth from fifteen to twenty cents per pound. Our farmers can then hid de fiance to all the protected industries— for the Creator of our universe has thrown around the cotton belt of the South a girdle of protection that no earthly power can break. All the Southern farmers lack of be ing the richest aud most prosperous peo ple on the globe is the means and the power to hold their crops and dietatt prices. We have no competition to meet or fear from abroad, and tlie manufac turer must have • ir great staple. In fact, boys, let this sub-treasury bill pass, and our Southern cotton growers will have the world by the tail and a down-hill pull ou it.' We don’t want any substitute for this hill, for it’s good enough and all that we desire. I want to see tbe day come when you can carry your cotton to a town, and when the merchant prices his goods, that you can have the privilege of pricing the fruits of your honest toil As it is now, you l are at the mercy of the man who sells you goods and buys your crops. There is an old Adage that it takes two to make a trade, but this don’t apply to a farmer when he walks into a Btore with a sample of his cotton. You can only secure this right and priv ilege through the sub-treasury bill— and please paste this fact on your mem ory I tell you, my fellow-countrymen, I am anxious to see that glorious day come when a farmer can either get his own priee for the fruits of his labor, or deposit it with Uncle Sam and draw tbe money thereon. As one of the many substitutes pro posed for the sub-treasury bill, the one that meets with most general favor, is for the government to loan a farmer money on his lands. Any man with a thimblefull of sense knows that only those who have their places unencum bered could borrow, and a man who, in this day and generation, has no mort gage or debt upon his farm don’t need help. But this sub-treasury bill helps alike the rich and the poor—the tenant with his one bale of cotton is placed on the same footing with the man who owns hia thousands ofutres. This sub-treas ury hill helps those who stand most in need pf assistance—tiUe poor ono-gallers pet rotors. HOW MY BACK ACHfcS. Back Ache, Kidney Pains. anil Weak ness, Soreness, Lameness.

A Son Retuns to His Mother After an Absense of Forty Years. Moline, Ill., August 21.—Hiram Gregg, eight years old, disappeared from the house of his parents at Elmira, N. C’., forty years ago. Search for him was kept up several months, but with out result. The parents removed to the West some time afterward, and fi nally settled near this place. Yester day a man forty-eight years old appear ed at the Gregg homestead and an nounced himself as the boy who disap peared forty years ago. According to his story he was stolen by gypsies, who took him to Wisconsin. He was cruel ly treated by his captors, and often times had been beaten and threatened with death. About fifteen years ago Hiram married and his gypsy foster mother disappeared. Hiram and his wife took up their residence at Richard son, Oak, countv, Wis., where they lived until a mysterious communica tion was received by Hiram telling him his leal name and that his mother was living nrar Moline. This led to an in vestigation, which resulted in the meet ing. It is presumed that the letter was written by one of the gypsies in a fit of remorse.

Mrs. Foddrill was badly but not dangerously hurt. Miss Annie got a bad bruise on the face. Miss Ilallie was considerably but not seriously hurt.
