THE GREAT BULWARK OF OUR NATION
The backbone of any country i»
its agricultural community. . Fac
tories may suspend, merchants fail
or banks break, but so long as a
land is blessed with bounteous bars
vests, all of these misfortunes can be
overcome. 8ut stop for one short
twelve months every plow, and fam
ine will stalk through the land, and
paralysis seise upon every artery of
commerce.
It is therefore the duty of every
good and grateful citizen—it matters
not what be his calli> g in life—to
give all the aid in his power toward
the upbuilding of this worthy and
honorable class. Wben the farmer
piospers, we all prosper, and when
the tiller of the soil suffers every hu
man being feels the effects.
The farmer k*ows far better than
any one elks bis needs snd necessi
ties, and when he asks for certain
measures of relief—like the Sub*.
Treasury bill, that cannot possibly
Injure any other line of business—it
is wrong to oppose' him, on some
technical ground. The country owes
this honored class too mnch to stand
in the way of their rights.
To-day our people are standing
upon the brink of a great financial
panic. The strongest houses are
going to the wall, and no merchant
can tell wbat to-morrow will bring
forth. But there is one ray ol hope
in the dark landscape—the cotton
crop of the South, the, great hulk of
which still remains in the hands of
the men who made it. It is a recog
nized fact that if enough of this
great staple is thrown on the market
to cancel the obligations of the far
mers, that tho financial tide will be
stemmed and prosperity again dawn
. upon oar imperilled land. The ey«s
of the whole country are to-day
turned upon our fanners, for it is in-
their power to check the fast -ap
proaching panic, or by withholding
their crops at this critical period,
to engulf the country in ruin.
Many farmers believe that to mar
ket their cotton at this lime—when
7 it is selling for less than the actual
cost of production—would be to
orifice their interests. We very
much doubt, however, that the price
of cotton will take any perceptible
advance next spring—at least not
enough to phy the expense of bold'
ing it. The largest crop has been
tande in the history of the world
not only in America, but in India
and Egypt. Money is depressedtaod
all manner of cotton goods very low
in price.
But even it oar farmers do make
a sacrifice by relieving this panic,
they should do so—and then depend
for their reward on the ftuure.
There is a similarity between the
condition of our country to-day and
that of England in 1696. Owing to
a retirement of dipped coins and
Hr a consequencial scarcity of money,
the British govemment was finan
cially embarrassed, and the policy of
King Wtlliam seriously threatened.
In the whole history jof that island,
nelfer was there such a critical pe
riod in its existence. The only hope
for the stability or the existing gov
ernment was in the Bank oMSngland
—a corporation that had been griev
ously slandered and wronged by Par
liament. The stockholders of the
Bank were in a bad humor with the
King, and not without reason. But
when the dire straits of the people
and their government was made
known to them, even at a^great risk
and personal sacriBbe^the Directors
voted the necessary money to tide
the King over his troubles. The
next year prosperity again dawned
upon the country, and a grateful
people never forgot-the debt that
they owed the Bank of England, and
g| . repaid it by gran ting the most liberal
concessions.
Hln the present financial stringency
of our own America, the cotton far
mers of the South represent the Bank
of England. It lies within their
power to avert the panic and save
the country. We do not mean by
this that they should throw all o
their crop upon the market at once j
but only enough to meet their honest
pbligaiioDS Let them do this, find
they will not only earn the lasting
gratitude of the country, but pluul
the Alliance on such a solid founda
tion that it will be - impregnable to
the assauli? pf its enemies:
We would not advise our farmers
against their interests ; but the
course we now counsel is the only
patriotic- and honorable one that they
can pursue. To withhold your cots
ton when au obligation is due, wil 1
bring upoiYllje members of the Alli
ance the odium and responsibility of
the financial troubles that are sure
to follow ; to relieve this panic will
be to show to the world that our cot
ton farmers are true men, and the
name of Alliancem&n will be synon
ymous of all that- is honorable and
reliable.
While we are working to build up
the Alliance, we want to keep it on
the highest plane.where the veaomed

shafts of its enemies can never^reach

promptly, and girdled with the ar
mor of honesty, truth and patriot
ism, they can then bat'.le for their
rights with an assurance of sucoess.
Here is an instructive incident o
the farmers' convention now in ses
sion down in Florida. A Kansas del
egate accepted the invitation of the
tropical exposition that is open at
Ocala, for the entertainment of the
farmers, to visit the show. Said the
delegate, after viewing all the attrac
tions of the exposition : “Have you
nothing in all this vast collection
suggesting the idst cause—no relic of
the rebellion ?’’ The Fiesident lies
Stated, scratched aia head,and finalfy
said: '‘Well, I vow, we forgot that.
Whenever the farmers meet and
pass resolutions demanding legisla«
tion that will redound to their inter
est the republican oigans and poli
ticians immediately set up a howl
that they are endorsing democratic
doctrine—which they are.
Republican politicians character,
ize the Farmers’ Alliance at a demo
cratic annex. Consiieiing the fact
that they are three million strong it
is a very desirable ‘‘annex” to have
about election time, as is proven by
the result of the late election
Mr. Powdeily has been telling the
farmers down in-Florida that labor-
saving machinery is a fraud,and that
all electric devices are only contri
vances defrauding men of a chance
to work.

A Cute Thing.
I saw a rather cute tiling last Satur
day. In one of the iqany coops about
the market that are trying to antici
pate Christinas a lordly turkey gobbler
strutted, dropped its wings and spread
out its tail with all the abandon of a
foreign diplomat. In front of the coop
was a trough filled with gleaming corn
and this gobbler was just about ready
to partake of his mid-day lunch.
Now came a wandering, half-starved
chicken that had escaped from some
neighboring coop, its feathers bedrag
gled, its complexion “ sicklicd o’er with
the pale cast of thought.” It rushed at
the ebrn as if it was a mortal enemy,
and tegan fllllngits crop without regard
to the statute of limitations. The gob
bler looked at it a moment, and then
withdrew to the rear of the coop, its
large eyes filled with the tender dew of
pity, and it allowed the outcast chicken
to appease its hunger to the fullest ex
tent. Then the two touched bills, one
In thankfulness, the other in mercy,
and life moved on as placid as a linseed

The servant ■ question is now the
most serious problem chat is agitating
our people. This trouble is not con
fined to Athens, but affects «very sec
tion of tbe South. Today there are now
more white ladies doing their own cook
ing and house work thatever known be
fore. In the country, negro women
positively refuse to work for the whites,
and many families are bringing their
washing five an l ten miles every week
to Athens, to have it done.
The negroes all over the South have
formed secret societies, and are pledged
not to take the place of another, when
discharged, it matters not wliat the
provocation. %Tou may dismiss a cook
or servant for treating or any other of
fense, and thei places will remain va
cant until the discharged servant sees
fit to lift the boycott against you.
Tbe blacks are also becoming more
extortionate in their demands, and in
tolerant and insolent in their behavior.
White ladies are made to patiently hear
all manner of affronts from their ser
vants, or at the first word of reproof
off they march and leave you without
help. In every neighborhood there is a
chief—generally a woman-who ba3su
preine command over the servants, and
they obey her like a queen. She lias
the power any day to vacate every
kitchen in her locality.
Each mouth the supply of female ser
vants grows scarcer and scarcer. They
will only consent to wait upon
a white lady when forced v to
do so, and tuen reserve the
privilege of doing as they please. It
would make the blood of many a hus
band boil in his veins to kuow all the
insults that his wife haB to silently sub
mit to daily from her servants. -She
knows that to complain is useless, for
it will only result in leaving her with
out help,
A company of gentlemen in Athens
have at last decided, to get relief from
this black tyranny, at any tumble and
expense. They have. recently- opened
correspondence with an employment
bureau in New York, and will have
brought to our city several hundred
skilled white house*servants and cooks,
who will take tbe place of the negro
women. These white servents will cost
something more than black labor, bin
one of them will do the work of three
negroes, and are in every way trust
worthy and reliable. So soon as the
contracts can be signed by parties de
siring such servants, a gentleman will
visit New York, and in person select
such servants as he thinks will best suit
our people.’
This will not only render our ladies
entirely indi pendent of negro women
but a large number of the men now liv
ing in the cities will be forced to return
to the farm, where they are so badly
needed as field laborers.
With the 500 white servants it is pro
posed to bring out, and a steam laundiy
to do the washing for our citizens
the bottom rail will again
be on top, and our wives and daughters
taken from tbe cook-pots.
The only draw back to getting white
servants to come South is the lack of
congenial society, but the employment
bureau writes that if Athens will take
as many as 500 cooks, porteis and house
servants, it can easily settle a colony
here. Of course this number can fiud
ready employment.
Our merchants are also dispensing
with tbe negro porters around
stores, and hiring white men troni the
country to take their place. Some of
them are glad to get tbe wages paid the
blacks, and give much better satisfac
tion. We know that tbe white ladies
of Athens will hail with joy the an
nouncement of the importation of white
servants, for it means their emancipa
tion from the worst kind of tyranny.
The scheme has been worked so quietly
that only those interested in It were
aware of the movement to supplant the
negro.

The news of the large discrepancy be

and a committee on investigation was
appointed to look into the matter.
Mr. J. S. Stewart, of Oxford, is the
treasurer of the conference, and is
near sixty years of age. He has filled
the office of treasurer for nearly
twelve years and no refit ctiou
has ever been cast upon bis
honesty and integrity. His official acts
have been open to Several examinations
at different conferences and have been
approved from time to time.
He says that the whole affair is a mys

large a deficit is shown. There may be
an error in his books which, causes the
discrepancy. 1

Mr. Stewart says that he stands ready
to intake good the-deficit if it be in his
power. He has qbont twelve hu’iidyed

will also aid him in raising the amount.

Every dog lover acknowledges t! e
superiority of the fox terrier in that
sortof mtelligei.ee which goes to make
a dog appear t<> be aim >st human in the
exercise of reasoning powers or some
thing akin to them. When-a dog tun s
a faucet to get a drink he shows intelli
gence. S.-me person < say that this is
instinct, and deman 1 that the dog
shall of his own volition shut off the
water before they will give him credit
forreasou. A dog can be taught to
turn a faucet or shut a door after him,
but until he is taught he will generally
leave both open until after satisfying
hi-» desire to get into the house or get a
drink of water.
A gentleman of Athens has a fox
terrier which sec ms to have something
m ire than instinct. Tnere appears to
be something like reasoning power di
recting some of her actions. She v has
been sleeping in the lia-ement of tbe
house in box placid under the
stairs for her c invenieiice. Recently
one of the servants mi<se< 1 a small shawl
which early in the morning and late at
night she bad been accustomed to wear.
A shirt time ago she wen' down stairs
li e at night, and, glancing into Spoils
box, saw the dog snugly wrapped up ill

the dog mat evening. The shawl was
missing as usual during the day. At
night, when everybody else had left the

lr i f kindling wood in the cellar and
scratch out the shawl. She pulled it
across.the floor to her box. and, care
fully adjusting it, took one corner in
her t- e:h and rolled over twice.
- In ih '■ morning the shawl was not in
her box. and a search of the wood pile

Dozier Passes Over
River.
As the.early Sabbath morn was Ush
ered in with all its holt hush, the soul
of a loveable and respected lady of our
city passed over the river.
Mrs. T. H Dozrer, after a long and
painful illness, died at her home ou
Meigs street in Cobbtiaiu.
For several weeks this highly re
spected Christian lady bad been lying
ill, and her friends watched with
auxiety the progress of tbe disease that
finally resulted in her death.
Her death has cast a shadow upon
many hearts and around m-my firesides
sympathetic friends and mourning rel '
atives will lament the absence of her
who lias gone.
Mrs. Dozier left to mourn her death
a loving husband and ten children.
Griel, indeed, it must be to bim who
shall know no more a wife’s cheerful
presence, and to those who will miss a
mother's tender love and watchful
care.
But she left a shining example worthy
of emulation.
A kind and sympathetic spirit per
vaded her every act and charity found
lmignient in her leader heart she will
be missed fiom the Baptist church, of
'which she Was a devoted and coi.sisteut
member; from tin* community in which
slie was a powerful (actor for good;

played the highest attributes of Chris
tian womanhood.
The funeral of this estimable lady oc
curred yestvrday afternoon at the Bap

was borne to tbe pulpit by Messrs. Geo.
C: Thomas, R. L. Moss, J. A, Htmni-

erford and Z. W. Betts.
The choir sang ’sweetly, “There is
rest in heaven,” after wljjch prayer was
offered by Rev. C. W. Lowe.
The. choir then sang, “How Blest the
Righteous when They die.” Rev. John
G. Gibson, of Crawford, preached the
funeral sermon, urging upon the be
reaved family to put their trust in God,
accepting in'faith, tbe heavy affliction
laid upon them.
The choir sang the recessional hymn,
“Shall we Gather at tbe River,” and
the funeral cortege moved from the
church to the cemetery.
There the remains of this Christian
1 uly were laid away to away the resur
rection morn.
