Ben Terrell, the national lecturer
of the farmers alliance, in a speech
the other day, used the following
language:
“The alliance is not a partisan
organization, and has no more con
nection with the people’s party than
it has with the democratic or repub
lican parties. The farmers alliance
is an educator. Some have thought
that the people’s party and the
alliance are one, but it is not so.
The alliance seeks to educate its
people in economic science, and we
must educate or perish. The alli
ance has no object in building up
any party.'”

and the reorganizing of the banks
so as to allow state banks to issue

stands good, we will have more

as the acts of the democratic meas

A WAR STORY.
(by a butts county boi.diEli.)
CHAPTER IV.
[ went with the boy and delivered
the book to Miss Liza, but I never
told her of the trouble I was in I
returned to camps just in time to
find that I was left again, but as the
train was a little late I reached the
station in time, where we boaided
the train and went in the direction
of Richmond. At that time the
battle ot Seven Pines was being
fought, and my old company I) of
the Bth Georgia was engaged in the
battle, and of course I was anxious
to hear from them, We went down
on the train to H junction,
there we left the train and marched
in the direction of the enemy, not
knowing at what moment we would
be in regular battle, It was through
mud and water that we had to
march, and as I did not have to
keep in ranks I stepped out on the
side of the road to ebuc the mud,
when the captain hollered at me
not to run. I had no notion of run
ning, and in a few minutes some
one shot ofl a gun near the road and
the captain took to the woods. We
did not arrive at Seven Pines until
the battle was over, so we ’went into
camps on the Rhaphannock river,
the yankees on one side and the
rebels on the other. We were so
clooe together that we could hear
their band playing “Yankee Doo
die, and our hand would play
•'Dixie.” Our picket lines were
about half a mile apart, the yankee
line at the north side of the swamp
and the rebel line at the edge of the
swamp on the south side.
Our orders were to shoot any one
hat w r e saw in the swamp. One
day I was in command of the
picket line, and some of the boys
saw a yankee slipping through the
swamp and called to me to know
whether to shoot him or not. As
he was so far I did not think we
could hit him, so I concluded I
would see if I coul! not slip some
myself. So with gun in hand I got
down on my knees and crawled
through the swamp until 1 was
within two hundred yards of him
when I took fair aim, as I thought,
but I was a little nervous and
missed him. I got behind a tree
and e did he. I waited a short
time and poked my head out to see
if I could get a glimpse of him, but
he was too quick for me and saw
me first and sent a ball that came
near getting me. We exchanged a
few shots in this way at each oth
era’ head, when at last I took the
adyantage of him while he was re
loading his gun to get to another
tree where I could see him and
took good aim at him. and at the
crack of my gun he fell. I don’t
know whether I killed him or not.
but he lay there until late in the
eyenig and then his friends came
and carried him away.
We remained in camps for some
time, and every day we could see
from one to a dozen balloons up in
the air, where they could see all
over our camps.
At last we received orders to be
ready to move at a minute’s warn
ing. When we started to leave
camps we went in the direction of
Richmond, leaving the enemy in
the rear, but we soon turned down
the riyer and crossed over and at
tacked the enemy. We were in a
regular battle lor the first time.
The firing was kept up until a late
hour that night; but we had been
too much for them, and by the next
morning they had retreated. We
were soon in line and in pursuit ot
them. During the next morning I
was sent out with a detail of twenty
men on a scout. We found twenty
five yanks guarding a wagon train,
but as we took them by surprise
they did not offer to fight, so we
took them as prisoners. The wag
ons were filled with provisions, and
in one wagon I tound a fane navy
pistol and kept it for my own use.
When we got back to our command
the major offered me forty dollars
tor it, but it seemed that I was im
pressed not to part with it, and it
is well that I did not. I had it on my
belt and that evening we overtook
the yankees, who were in line of
battle, and while we weie charging
a battery a grape-shot struck the
cylinder of the pistol and mashed
it as flat as a flounder. Just at this
time oil! command had to retreat
and they left me lying on the
ground, but after going some fifty
yards the captain and ot.e of n y
friends came back and louk me up
and carried m j out of danger. I
was sent back to our old eamns,
where we had left some of our men
sick and some to wait on the sick
This was the second day of the
seven days’ fight aroui and Richmond.
I remained there until the seyen
days’ fight was over, and those who
had not been left on the battlefield
returned to the camps; hut there
were many of our good and brave
men wt o were left never to return,
although the yictory was ours.
The federal army bad gone hack to
to the Potomac, finding the road to
Richmond a hard one to travel, but
it had cost the rebels thousands of
brave men to check them.
We are in camps near Richmond.

State of Goorgia, County of Butts.
Whereas T. J. Key, executor of Mrs.
M. A. Key, represents to the Court in
his petition duly filled and entered on
record, that he has fully administered
M. A. Key’s estate, this is therefore, to
cite all persons concerned, heirs and
creditors, to show cause, if any they can
why said executor should not be dis
charged from his trust aud receive letters
of dismission on the first Monday iu Oc

THE REUNION.
A few of the survivors of the I4th
and 45th Georgia regiments held a
reunion at Indian Spring on Satur
day, August 26th. Cap!. W. F.
Smith was made temporary chair
man, and in some fitting remarks an
nounced the object of the meeting.
Short “ addresses were made by
Messrs. C. S. Maddox, 11. C. Thax
ton, Captain Lane and others
Dinner was then announced, and all
was invited to partake of a bounteous
spjeau under the broad spreading
giant oaks. At 2 o’clock the body
was permanently organized by elect
ing C. S. Maddox president, Capt.
Lane vice-president and 11. C. Thax
ton secretary. Resolutions weie
pas ed enrolling both the 14th and
45th regiments, they having served
through tlie war in the same brigade,
into one body and committees were
appointed on securing rolls of the
original companies, etc. The audi
ence was then addressed by Rev.
Jesse Mays and Rev. Crowder Mays
to the delight of all.
The next meeting will he held in In
dian Springs on the 4th Wednesday
in August, 1894.
CAMPMEETING NOTES.
Sunday’s attedance is estimated at
5,000.
The meeting closes next Friday
morning.
We are proud to state that a bet
ter behaved crowd than la-t Sunday’s,
never assembled anywhere.
Despite the hard times, about SBOO
was raised at the labernaele Sunday.
All of the restaurants and refresh-,
ment stands report a good business.
Campmeoting “comes but once a
year; let everybody have their
share.”
Bro. Culpepper seems to “pepper”
the liuni Monster as lively as ever.
Sunda\ evening Mrs. Parker, ot
Macon, made a most touching appeal
to the congregation in behalf of tem
perance.
Rev. Culpepper’s discourse Sunday
night, on the “Converted Barroom,”
was very interesting.
Charlie Tillman’s music is unex
celled. It is one of the chief attrac
tions of the meeting.
The tabernacle is one of the best
structures of the kind m the State,
and the citizens of Butts should appre
ciate it.
The sermon to the colored people
Sunday afternoon, at 2 o’clock, was
real interesting, and they seemed to
appreciate it very much.
Rev. Robt. Kilgore, of Kentucky,
related a most pathetic experience
Sunday morning, explaining how
Christianity had elvevated him from
the whiskey and gambling den to the
pulpit. His experience is indeed re
markable, and he knows exactly bow
to picture sin in all its phases.
Quite a number of ministers are
assisting in the services, and much
good is likely to result ere the meet
ing closes.
HE CANNOT LIE.
Editor Argus: —Not long since I
stopped at Castleberry’s store, at Cabaniss,
Ga., and while there a terrible looking
cloud arose and it began to lightning, rain,
hail and blow to such an extent as to
drive the clerk and his customeia inside
the store. Its fury increased until it was
necessary to securely bar the doors and
windows. My attention was attracted to
an old, dried up gentleman, about the
size of a keg of soft-boiled soap, sitting
over in a corner, as “quiet as a lamb.”
After the storm had subsided he reached
far down into his trousers and drew there
from a big twist of “chawing” material,
placed a good-sized quid between his
“grinders,” tapped me on the shoulder
and introduced his subject thus:
“Foung man, this reminds me of a
cyclone that struck my premises, away
over in South Carolina, a few years ago.”
“How is that, sir?’”
“Web, sir, among a good deal of its
other devilment and capers, it struck ray
wash-pot and turned it wrong side out—
blowed the legs on the inside, and then
struck my well and twisted it so crooned
that you couldn’t begin t© let a bucket
down in it. 1 was plowing iu my field at
the time —was using one of these here big
sweeps, and lightniug struck the plow
stock, and I noticed it as it ran down on
the sweep, and it turned it red hot. Yes,
it did! And as soon as I saw it was red
hot, of course, I turned it loose and ran
off about fifty yards, and then a clap of
thunder struck it aud sharpened that
sweep as sharp as the best blacksmith in
this country could have sharpened it if he
was going t© be bung. Stranger, these
are facts!”
“I don't doubt it, sir; there is notbiug
impossible with a cyclone.
“No, there ain’t! And I'll tell yon
another thing: The sun shines a heap
hotter over in that country than it does
here. Why, I'll tell you what's a fact.
One day 1 was picking cotton and noticed
a boll of cotton smoking under my foot,
and I picked it up and ‘lit’’ my pipe with
it—just supposed some of the boys had
set it afire, you know; but presently 1
happened to straighten up t > rest my back
a little, and I saw' bolls smoking all over
the field. I hollered to the boys to follow
me, and we ran to the house, faster than
‘Nancy Hanks’ going down grade, to get
water to pul it out and before we could
get back, I’ll ‘swsr,’ it had completely
burned up the whole twenty-five accre
field, and that’s the reasou I’m m Georgia
to-day. What’s the use for a man to
work hard all the year and then have hi
truck destroyed in any such a manner?
Sranger, have a ‘chaw terbaccer’ with
me.” Uxo.
