THE ALLIANCE IN ENCLAND.
The fame and prowess of the Far
mers’ Alliance has even extended
beyond the briny deep, and that
great English paper, tbe London
Times, is attacking this organization
and warns the British farmers against
following the example of their broths
era in America.
This is just what we should ex
pect The Times is the organ ot the
British aristocracy and favored class
es, and will oppose any and every
movement tending to the organiza
tion and relief of the masses. The
fight waged against, tbe Alliance in
our own State and country is about,
to be repeated in far-away England.
But let this grand and noble order
once secure a foothold in the Biitish
Isle, and we predict that the brave
men who fought the bn' tie of Naseby,
and have twice overturned the most
powerful government tbe world ever
saw, will prove as true to their in
terests, and as courageous in the de-
fence of their rights, as their de
scendants in America, who sprang
from their loins.
But it should indeed encourage
out Alliance friends to see the wide
spread work o’ their order,and nerve
their hearts, and strengthen their
arms to persevere in their underta
king. The eyes of not only your
own countrymen, but of the civilized
world, are turned upon the strug
gling farmers of America. You are
now on trial ; and victory for the
Allianccmen means not only a right
ing of their own wroDgs, but it will
encourage the farmers of every Chris
tian country on our globe to emulate
you** example and strike for liberty.
Alliancemen must not look back or
falter. Ntwer let it be published to
tbe world that the gnat agricultural
community of our Republic have
wavered in their mission or surren
dered their cause.
THE FORCE BILL DEAD.
A combination of the democrats
with the silver Senators of the West,
sounded the death-knell of the ob
noxious Force bill, and there is no
probability of its ever being resur
reeled. The defeat of this bill gives
a double victory to the democrats.
It kills a most vile and partisan re
publican measure, and will force tbal
party to take an open and decided
position on the silver question. If
free coinage is defeated, it means the
loss to the republican party of sev
eral new ruining Slates, and places
them squarely in line with tbe Wall
Street monopolists. This party can
no longer ride two horses, and they
must either come to the relief of the
people or engage in open conflict
with them. The G O. P. is in its
lust ditch, and the democrats over
flowing with happiness.

IN MEMORY OF STEWABT
Mr. Andy Mitchell’s Hand in a Terri
ble Condition.
Mr. Andy. Mitchell, living in Apple
Valley, Jackson county, who was some
days since bitten by a rattle snake will
in all probability liave bis hand am
putated neir his wrist. The results ol
wound were more serious than at first
apprehended; the hand presenting a
fearful spectacle.
The manner in which Mr. Mitchell
was bitten was a peculiar one.
He was descending into an old, dis
used well and placed his hand in a step
that his foot had just occupied, when he
felt an acute sting, which he thought
was u brier scratch.
Withdrawing his hand, what was his
horror to behold a ground rattlesnake
hanging toil, with the fnngs implanted
deeply in the flesh.
It was necessary to shake his hand
vigorously before the snake would let
go his hold.
The reptile fell into the bottom of the
well, which was one mass of tangle-
wood.
On flashing tha light into the old
well what was their astonishment to
see a living mass of squirming adders,
twining and untwining.
Throwing some lire into the well the
dry matter caught and the convolutions
of hideous reptiles were consumed.
It was indeed fortunate that Mr.
Mitchell did not reach the bottom of
the well, or he may have had more than
one to contend with.
ACRICULTUAL DEVELOPMENT.
For some time there has been a
marked tendency on tbe part of the
young men in rural localities to
flock to the towns, deserting their
old homesteads for the specious al
lurements of city life. This ten
dency has been recognized and de
Athens and Jefferson.—The old
time agitation concerning this road has
periodical intervals of slumber, hut
like Banquo’s ghost it “will not down.
The scheme bobbed up sferenely yester
day and a citizen advocating its con
struction said: “Thescheme to con
nect Athens and Jefferson with railway
irons is an old one, having been incu
bated some years ago. It is also a good
one; will open up a fine country; in
crease our trade; help build up Athens,
and the beauty of the whole thing
that it can he built at a comparatively
small cost. I am heartily in tavorof it,
and with quick, decisive action the iron
horse would steam into Athens by the
first of September. It is only seventeen
miles from Athens to Jefferson and that
distance will be materially reduced by
the route the road would take."
Badly Mashed.—Mr. Lee Barnett, a
farmer living about twelve miles from
Athens, had his finger mashed pain
fully mashed yesterday in a corn feeder
‘The abomniable credit sys‘em!” a
prominent merchant observed to a Ban
ner pecil pusher yesterday. “Is there
no reinedy for it ?”
The merchants are filing complaints
daily about the wretched collections
that are now being made in Athens and
they, one and all, ascribe it to the sys
tem of credit of Athens. Front time
immemorial this credit system has been
a curse to the town, and
it has “grown with our growth and
strengthened with our strength.”
Some stringent measures should be
adopted in order to curb the wild pro
pensity that is rampant in our city to
“charge,” without proper and decent
regard to the statute of limitations.
In Savannah, Augusta, Atlanta, Ma
con, Rome, Brunswick and Columbus,
there is a community of feeling among
the merchants on this much-controver
ted subject that insures them ample
protection.
We believe that the most sold element
are heartily in favor of abolishing this
pernicious system and conducting our
business transactions an a strict cash
basis.
It will be somewhat oppressive at
first but the wire-edge will he soon
wear oil'and our progress will be more
sound and healthy.
In order to empnasize the attitude
we take we will cite the instance of a
prominent mercantile firm in Athens
who have collected $3.00 with $1,500
outstanding.
This is but a forcible instance of the
merits of the present system and we
could cite others but forbear.
It is superfluous to urge this change
on the part of our merchants, for they
are fully alive to the glaring defects in
the present one and for some time have
been vigorously clamoring for a cash
system.
Let the merchants do as they have
done in other citiys; get a black-list,
tt is simply a matter of self protection,
and one that commends itself to the
better judgment of ever}’ clear-seeing
citizen.
There should also be more unity and
co-operation among them, some mutual
understanding about the designs and
spirit of a union and the ends they
would achieve.
Athens’ size and importance demands
imperatively this wholesome move, and
an abolition of the present system. In
order to conduct prosperously any bus
iness ready capital is essential, ana if
that capital cannot be collected on col
lateral value received, how is the world
can any firm thrive and prosper as it
should. The time is now ripe for
movement of this character, looking to
the establishment of firmer business
prosperity and emolument.
MR. HILTON TRANSFERS THE GARDEN
(JITY CATHEDRAL TO TRUSTEES.

and Costly Structure.
(Copyright by American Press Association.]
In the law offices occupied by ex-
Judge Horace Russell at Broadway and
Chambers street, New York, there oc
curred recently an interesting and im
portant legal transaction. The persons
concerned were on the one side ex-
Judge Henry Hilton, and
on the other the trustees
of the Cathedral of the In
carnation and cathedral
schools at Garden City, L.
L They had come to
gether to sign the papers
by which Judge Hilton for-

be a blight to our future hopes of a
broader prosperity.
On the resouices of the plow and
harrow, hinges all substantial ad
vancement, bringing the flash of
prosperity where they are properly
used, or that frown of geuer&l calam
ity where they are indifferently re
garded.
The recent and continued exodus
of the youth from rustic communities
is one of the gravest problems that
confronts the people of this nation.
It finds its origen in & prevalent,
though mistaken idea, of the possi
t hililies of life in the city; of the
^ achievements of country. lads who
H|heve located there.

side of the picture; of the fatal
temptations; the sorrows, hardships,
disappointments entailed on hun

have forsaken good, comfortable
homes to seek fortune and fame ip

the broad expanse of thi9 common
wealth.
The future of agricultural devel
opment is rich with promise, afford

curing tbe comforts and pleasures
of life than can possibly flow from
tbe meretricious pleasures of the
city.
Boys cling with the fervor of an
abiding love to your old homes,
cherishing their memories and hopes
with a tenacity born «.f a contem
plation of the worthy lives lead by
your fathers and mothers.
The destiny of tbe most enlight
ened Republic ,tbat the world has
over seen is in your custody ; and to
guard it sacredly should not only
be your duty but your honest pride.
The meannesses, rivalries, bitter
ness that give a ating to city life
never invade the quietude of your
homes, where pleasures never flower
ft plant the thorn in tbe sensiti
counts.
Costly Trees.— There are in Athens
some two or three Japan Varnish tree;
and the} are highly valued by their
owners. This tree is a rare one and as
an ornamental tree is almost peerles
The leaves are broad and fantastically
indented and afford excellent shade.
Crowded With Work.—The Prince
ton factory has now on hand all the
work it can attend to and is stretched
to its utmost capacity to keep apace
with the demands on it. The entire
factory is illuminated with electricity
and a night force is busily employed to
answer the orders on it.
Hauling Granite.—The Georgia
railroad has conveyed an immense
amount of granite from the quarries
located in the vicinity of Lexington, for
the piers on theG., C. & N. bridge. The
foundations of this cosily structure are
now being lni<’, and great attention is
paid tlieir du.aoiliiy s d strength.
Good Corx Crop.—In conversation
with several horny-handed sons of toil
we team that, as a general rule, the
corn crop made this year in this sec-
section o: the State w as a very good one
The yield was not abundant, but com
paratively speaking, it was way above
the average.
Over Two Hundred Policies.—The
new Southeastern Mutual Accident As
sociation has already issued two hun
dred policies, and have not yet started
their full force on the road." Their of
fice will be handsomely furnished, and
nothing will be spared to make it one
of the cosiest and most attractive in the
city.
The Funeral Rites.—The last sad
rites were performed yesterday at the
First Methodistchurch over the remains
of Mr. P. A. Summey, the Itev. H. H
Parks conducting the services. The
minister dwelt with fervor on the eon
stellation of virtues and manly quali
ties possessed by the deceased. After
the services the mortal remains of Mr
Suinmey were commited to mother
earth to await the resurrection morn.
The Wray Will Cask.—There i
rc-atdeal of interest among Atheni
ans as to the probable decision of the
supreme court in regard to the famous
Wrav will case. It will be appealed to
the supreme court and no inconsidera
ble interest is manifested as to whether
they will sustain or reverse the deci
sion of the superior court. Messrs
Rucker and Upson are attorneys for tbe
caveators.
THAT RELIGIOUS CONTROVERSY
GGG Accounts.—The Alliance Ware
house management has opened up dur
ing the past year, 06G accounts with
farmers. This shows pretty forcibly
what a live issue tbe Alliance is despite
the increasing croaking of prophets of
evil. The warehouse during the com-

A Blasphemous Utterance From Dr
Armlstead.
If anything is needed to disgust and
sicken all Christian people with the so-
called cl.ureh controversy now going
on at Douglasville between Doetors
Armistead and Carswell, it is the turn
their discussion has taken. Pr. Armis
tend said that John could not have im
mersed without violating the law, and
hence, if he immersed he was justly be
headed, and is in perdition. Now isn’
this a flightful parody on the Christian
religion? litre in this eniighened age
and generation, and in our Christian
land, we hear a professed minister of
the Gospel proclaim that the chosen
disciple who baptised our Saviur was
justly beheaded for the act! , A more
blasphemous utterance never fell from
the lips of mortal man. The manner
of Christ’s immersion should not enter
into controversy. That he was baptis
ed by John every believer in Holy
Writ knows, and because Christ was
immersed in the river Jordan, as the
Bible tells us, Dr. Armistead says John
was not only justly beheaded, but. is in
perdition. There are hundreds ol
thousands of good Christians through
out the world who believe tnat
our Saviur was immersed, and they
are told that such a belief
will consign them to hell i And Dr.
Armistea-i does not leave even a gap for
escape; and goes so far as to assert that
even were our Savior, by His own eleo-
THK CATHEDRAL,
mally relinquished all further control
in the magnificent monument which has
been erected under his constant super
vision to the memory of his dead friend,
Alexander T. Stewart.
In retiring Judge Hilton presented the
trustees from his private fortune with a
fund of $500,000 in railroad bonds to
carry on and complete the great educa
tional and religions work at Garden
City which Mrs. Stewart began. Jndge
Hilton stated at the conference that it
had been his intention to remain at the
helm until every item contemplated by
Mrs. Stewart was completed, bnt the
undertaking was now so nearly finished
that he felt he could retire with safety
and leave the matter of future work
entirely in the hands of the trustees.
This final endowment of $500,000 given
by Judge Hilton makes the total sum
devoted to the work considerably over
$3,000,000, and leaves the trustees with a
cash fund of $1,300,000 in bonds. Mrs.
Stewart, after erecting the cathedral
buildings, costing altogether $2,140,000,
made a cash endowment of $300,000; a
half million more was paid by her es
tate, and Jndge Hilton contributed al
together. with his last gift, $550,000.
Only one thing still remains to com
plete the enterprise as intended by Mrs.
Stewart and planned by Judge Hilton.
This is the erection of a building for Ihs
Cathedral School of St. Mary’s for girls.
At present this school is conducted in a
couple of ordinary dwelling houses that
stand in the cathedral lands, bnt it is the
intention, of the trustees, under the
agreement made with Jndge Hilton on
his retirement, to go ahead at once with
the task of planning the girls’ school in
a permanent home.
Plans for this purpose are already be
ing prepared, and before many months
ground will probably be broken for the
structure, which is to be almost as im
posing as the Cathedral School of St.
Paul's for boys a couple of hundred feet
away. When this building is completed
a most imposing group of structures
will stand on the cathedral grounds,
which embrace 240 acres of the finest
lands on Long Island. •
The chief of these is of course the
cathedral, which is one of the most re
markable church structures in the world.
It represents an outlay of a million and
a quarter more money than any other
building of the kind in the United States
has cost, with the single exception of St
Patrick’s cathedral, in New York city.
There is something superb in its beauty.
Everything about the great church gives
evidence of the lavishness of the con
structor. Wherever ornamentation could
possibly be crowded in it is laid on
with the most profuse hand; and all
this without sacrificing any of the art
or dignity that should belong to such a
structure, or outraging the most perfect
taste in any detaiL The body of the
cathedral is built of Belleville granite,
and has a beautiful tapering spire 200
feet high.
The interior proportions are as grand
as the exterior. The supporting col
umns of the nave are of iron, painted to
represent tbe sandstone arches which
connect them. There is a noble sweep
iCwut these arches, and they kre orna
mented with the most exquisite carv
ings. The transcept and altar are fully
in accord with the other features, and
as the sun pours in through the beauti
ful stained glass windows on a bright
Sunday morning at service, nothing
more imposing can be ifoagined than
this beautiful temple.
There is never a Sunday morning dur
ing fine weather that the seating capacity
heard them to be fully up to the best
things that are done in the great Episco
pal cathedrals of England.
A stone’s throw from the cathedral is
the boys’ school building, a massive
structure of brick and Dorchester Btona
that cost about $300,000. At present St,.
Paul’s houses about 140 boys, from all.
parts of the country, bnt its capacity is
mnch greater. Its length is 300 feet,
and the three wings of which ‘ It is coin-'
posed are 179 feet deep. Dormitories,'
class rooms, play rooms and every thing
else are under one roof, the different di
visions being connected by covered win
dows. There are very few, if any,’
schools of the kind that are better
equipped. The library and art gallery
are magnificently stocked, and every
sleeping room in the. immense bnilding
is unusually. large, comfortable ’ and'
homelike. The objects of the school ate
entirely preparatory, scholars being fit-'
ted to enter college. There is a military
course, looked after by a West Point
instructor, and all the boys wear uni
forms.
The see house in which Bishop Little*
john, the head of the Long Island dio
cese, lives with his family is about half
as far from the cathedral as the school
building. It is a very handsome struct
ure, with every convenience, and cost
$90,000. The bishop is a great traveler
and has splendid taste, and as a result of
this the house is most luxuriously fur
nished.
The grounds about all of tho buildings
are as near perfect as the best landscape
gardening can make them. Their sur
roundings on every hand are ideal. Gar
den City is a perfect cathedral town. It
is of course not as ancient as the cathe
dral cities of Europe, but a lovelier spot
can be found nowhere on earth. All the
bustle, excitement and noise of the city
seem to have died out there, though it is
forty-five minutes’ ride from New York.
Everything is quietand peaceful, and the
tender tones of the great cathedral organ
seem to have breathed an air of the most
exquisite parity and calmness on every
thing about. The town itself, which
was founded by Mr. Stewart, is like a
huge park with lovely country villas,
here and there among the great trees
and smooth graveled walks winding be
tween.
Mr. Stewart bought the eight thousand
acre tract on which the town is laid oat

No matter how good material a shop may have, without skilled mechanics

a representative suburban town of high

gan work on what was intended as a
pretty country church. When th 3 proj

of this wonderful shrine is not tested to
the fall. People come for miles around,
from New York, Brooklyn and even

high church ritual .and hear the magnifi

part of the services cost- the cathedral
trustees between $8,000 and $10,000 a
year. They maintain a choir of forty
boys, whose voices are most carefully
trained, besides a large list of good
soloists. The snrpliced choir boys, how
ever, are the main feature of the serv
ices, outshining even the grand' organ,
which cost something like $90,000.
The choir boys are given free scholar
