WEDNESDAY, MARCH. 4 , 1891 . ,‘Who Struck I Billy Patterson” A FAMOUS MYTH V V/iliiam Patterson’s Wi 1 !, v w AN JXXBRSgTINCi D OrTTMF.V T he first thing I thought of after my arrival was to put my former resolution into practice by investing! about one half of my proceeds ofjpy property in real Chtal^"an3“ this I accomplished as soon as practicable, and the purchases I then nwde re¬ main m my possession to the present day. Having made it a rale never to purchase real property ou ^specu¬ lation with a view to sell again, and never but when I had the money to spare without running into debt. And by adl ering to this rule I have from time to time increased my pur¬ chases of real property as fast as I made money by commerce never risking more at any one time than half I was worth, considering that were I to lose that half, 1 still had a sufficiency left to make myself and my family comfortable and inde¬ pendent. A merchant possessing a fortune should never put more at risk than one half he is worth and should he have the misfortune to lose that half,* which is more than probable^be outfit to retire immedi¬ ately from business, or it is fifty to one, that he will lose the olher half and be left a beggar. Want of pre¬ caution has been tho cause of many failures after persons had made fort- unes but unfortunately merchants consider themseves entitled or rather disgraced unless they will trade not only up to their capital but as far beyond it as they can obtain credit what belter is this than a gamb’er, stacking his money on games of chance and doubling his bets every time lie w r ins ? It is true that chance may favor him for a time, luck, how- everjfas it is termed by the thought- [• s>V'must soon turn and he is soon brdke and ruined, and such is the fate of merchants who make use of all their capital and credit in com¬ merce in the shipping line, nor have I ever known any one to succeed on this principle for any length of time, I am perfectly sensible that had I placed my spare money at interest instead of investing it in real estate that it rould have been much more productive in my own life time. This however was not my object, because my life was uncertain, and I might leave a young family to take chance in the world. Considering myself iherefore acting for posterity, I have thought it better to leave them real estat, ‘ than mone Y or stock, the two latter being too easily parted with whilst the former is more likely to stick by them and is the last thing y0,, ”!- Pe0P 6 t r Se ] P S ° Se t t In the " <mr,e ? f “ acttve « a “ teB -‘ Ve *»*»*•“ «">“»?*• t* oth ? -tSP!”? great-katisfaction,. and I liniplonM. of %ri ccnil^ qae-e.ver gajyto fir§t : ’bj try' ’taking bating advantage me for the a.o ne.it and afterwards by obtamn^t myprop r y at sacrifice for much, less than whitit #^:iy,brth.” It hasl everb^^ chase ‘seTI'prbp^rty wm-me-never of kind to but or any where the seller and buyer were on a perfectly ev» n footing as to mforma- tion.

In early life ai Philadelphia I ex¬ perienced considerable inconvenience J n not being able to find young ple suitable for companions. They were all more or less tainted folly and vice, and did not seem to suit my turn pi grind, this me to associate, .with people older than myself and to take to study of books to fill up my both of which I found of great ad¬ vantage as it led to warm friendships that lasted throughout life without a single exception. At. this time I applied my<elf pretty much to the study of natural philosophy for which I had great propensity, and had I then possessed an independence of two thousand dollars a year, Neptune should never have sported with fortune and feelings in future life. On my arrival in the West Indies in the year 177G, it opened up a new scene for me for which I was little qualified, for I had previously lived all my life ,&qaqng religious peop'e correct principles and it was the contrary wi th most of my acquaintances and those I had to transact business with.' No one came thereto settle life, all were in quest of fortune ..to retire and spend it elsewhere.- Character was little thought of. Of oourse it the utmost circumspection and cau tion to steer clear of difficulties A kind and -superintending in this as in many other concerns my life enabled me however, to sur- experienced mount every asl difficulty, young and then was. Eustatia Three days T after my arrival at St. Was invited to spend the evening with one of the most res- pectable r famiiies of the place, con¬ sisting of three gentlemen and three ladies, two of the latter being sxn- gle ladies were introduced and we played whist during the evening. N o money .was introduced nor v as anjf sum mentioned for the game which induced me to think that it was altogether for amusement, bat the next evening the head of the house called on me with a pile of dollars saying that it was the result oi my winnings the evening before, and offered to pay me which I refus¬ ed to accept, observing that I never played for money, at least for not more than a trifle to keep up the at¬ tention of the game. This estab¬ lished my character against gam¬ ing and I then resolved with myself that I never would game so as to lose more than ten dollars at cne time and this resolution I have kept faithfully ever since, and had I not taken and kept it I probably might have been ruined as was the case with some others of my acquaint¬ ance in the West Indies.

BIG SMITH ITEMS. There has been a great deal of sickness and some death in our neigh- borhood recently. We have seven shingle mills and two steam saw mills and they are all sawing a great deal of lumber. Look out fur the stock law, we will get it after awhile We have four schools in this dis¬ trict and we have four lodges of Farmers Alliance, two white and two colored. I have been visiting sever¬ al of the lodges and all seem to be working together in harmony and for the good of the order. The Tugalo sub-alliance lias adopted Stonewall guano for the present year A.

The unsuccessful farmer makes cotton his chief crop and has his smoke house and com crib in the west. He buys on credit irom year to year, an d doesn’t take much stock in intensive farming, prefermg to move m the old, beaten track where his fathers moved a hundred years ago. He is too hard pressed to send his children to school, even if he be¬ lieved that a farmc-r boy needs much education* The unsuccessful farm¬ er has been convinced by men of the typo of Livingston, Gantt and Brown that all other avocations in life are “agin” agriculture. The unsuccess¬ ful farmer is expecting a government warehouse to bring him “relief” In many’-instances he has joined the Al¬ liance and is waiting for something to turn up, piobabiyfor the millions that England is to send over to buy his cotton at twenty cents a pound.

Nine Hundred Savages Against Fifty Volunteer Sconts—Death of a Hero, LI out. needier—A Cheyenne War Chief Killed While Leading a Grand Charge, [Copyright by American Press Association.] ATTLES with. In¬ dians were taken l 0 for granted in the development of 3 the wild west. In fact historical lit¬ erature, from the % time of the earli¬ & < n est settlements, is \ filled with thrill¬ ing stories of en¬ m counters with sav¬ ages. Now and k then one appeals with novel force i tion to our of the apprecia¬ daring ti-'j and endurance of tho fighting men of the border, and one such was the gallant struggle of Col. G. A. Forsyth and a band of fifty scouts with the terrible Cheyenne and Sioux war¬ riors and their bandit allies on-the line of the Kansas Pacific in ISOS. In August of that year there was an outbreak of savage fiendishness along the borders of Kansas, Colorado and Nebraska east of Denver. The tribes of the region opposed the con- struction of the railroad, and began to raid, ravish and kill over a widespread territory of thriving settlements. Their deeds were such that no white man able to handle a weapon could stay the passion of Among the officers at Fort Wallace was Col. G. A. Forsyth, a civil war veteran who had served with Sheridan He was on staff duty and had no followers, but in the excitement of the hour drummed up fifty unemployed scouts, mounted ana equipped in their own wild fashion, and placed himself and men under military or¬ ders. The second in command was a hero fitted to hold such relation to the gallant colonel. This was Lieut. F. II. Beecher (nephew of Henry Ward Beecher), also a civil war veteran, and one who had been disabled at that. He was under orders to report for duty in Washington at a later date, and volunteered, or even begged, to fill in the interval fighting Indians. The command started for the scene of the most recent depredations reported at Fort Wallace, and struck a trail on a branch of Republican ri ver on the 14th of September. They followed the trail two days without seeing a redskin, but evi dences pointed to their presence in the vicin¬ ity. They were trying to mislead and am¬ bush the daring party. On tho afternoon of the 16th Col. Forsyth halted and estab¬ lished camp on Dry Fork, a stream with but a few inches of water. He was in the center of a plain skirted with hills and dotted with clumps of stunted trees. Late in the afternoon a band of several hundred Indians rushed from cover and attempted to stampede the animals that were grazing near the camp. They were repulsed, and Col. Forsyth, assuming this demonstration to be the forerunner of a grand attack, moved his force to an island in tho middle of the water course. The island bore a few low trees. On the morning of the 17th every man was alert before daylight, and not a moment too soon. The horses were tied in the bushes close at hand, and while several picked marksmen kept up a fire on the nearest Indians, their companions dug rifle pits and made a circle of them so as to receive the enemy on all sides. The Indians kept up a steady fire with their improved repealing rifle3 and coolLy took position in easy range, boys with bows and arrows stealing up very close by crawl¬ * ing on tho ground. A shower of bullets and arrows soon announced the onslaught of numbers. Col. Forsyth bade his men hold their fire and save ammunition for the try¬ ing moment. The elevations at a safe dis¬ tance were covered with non-combatant savage.?, old men, women and children, and with a wild, weird whoop they began to jump aud gesture as a band of mounted warriors, numbering several hundred, set out at full gallop toward the island. Not a shot was fired by the scouts until the savages came within easy reach. Then a rapid fire was opened, sending down the frontlines of warriors. The charge had been made in solid column, as if to over¬ ride the brave little band in the riflepits. At the head rode the war chief of the Cheyennes, “Roman Nose,” a typical sav¬ age of the wilds. No gaudy calico, or flower sack stuff, or cast off army blanket corrupted his regal figure, which was of giant build. But buckskin and beads, and feathers of the wild wing, and a robe of the rarest fur, distinguished him over all his followers and above many a noted chief of these degenerate Indian days. He was a tawny colored war god, breathing fire and flashing lightning from his eagle eye. But all that heathen magnificence was not bullet clad, nor was that noble form in¬ vulnerable. “Roman Nose” fell within a few feet of the riflepits, and the painted bucks that survived the terrible volley of death shrank back appalled at the r> ,# ; w. w i *- jlWi I ^ ./ /s' v —*7- C2AEOF OF THE CHEYENNES. It was nearly midday, and Col. For.syth was not long in divining the true situation. He was surrounded by immense num¬ bers of bloodthirsty redskins, which after¬ ward proved to be Cheyennes and Sioux over 900 strong, led on in all the fury of their race by Roman Nose. This royal savage had boasted that only once had he taken a white man’s hand in friendship, and then it was at a council where the red men haughtily demanded the cessation of railroad building by the whites under the alternative of bloody war. Gen. Hancock, ^, ‘T™ Ul what the Indians wanted they could have it, and Forsyth and his men were realizing that the promise was being ohserved all around. There was a line of dead Indians and pomes keeping company with the gii en t body of the Cheyennh dhief. The re S & thrir savage ire.

Editor SoutV.crn Alliance Farmer; It is not my purpose to handy words with you. In recent issues of your paper you have made many statements, with winch you have connected oty name, that are untrue. I ask space in your next issue to deny some of them. 1. It has been long known to a great many allianccmen that there are, in the public mind, many grave charges against the character and the conduct of some prominent officials in the alliance, The recent confer¬ ence of alliancemen, hold in this city, met to determine the be#t means for investigating and establishing these charges, in order to rid the alliance of the odium they are bringing upon all it s members. 2. 'I'he conference in question was composed of true and pronounced alli¬ ancemen. Every man in the confer- encc is an alliancemen, earnestly seek¬ ing the good of the order. 3. Tho conference was, in no sense political. There were members pres¬ ent who held different viewe on wbat were know as political iesues in this state. These gentlemen were agreed in believing there is corruption in high places in the alliance, and they are so determined to so charge be— fere the proper tribunal at the pro¬ per time. 4. The action of this conference is, no way, a fight on the alliance, aud it cannot, possibly be so con¬ strued. It is a fight by true aliiance- men for the preservation of the alh- am e. Your paper is not the alliance, and to condemn yom paper is not fiightmg the alliance. The alliance is far more important than your paper. Mr. Livingston is not the alliance, changes made against Mr. Livingston for corruption, would not be charg«s against the alUanoe. ti r. Copeland is not the alliance Charges made rgainst Mr. Copeland cannot be called, in any sense charges made against the alliance, as Mr# Copeland is not the alliance. Mr Daniel is not tlia alliance. K any man attacks Mr. Daniel, h§ is not attaking the alliance. These men are nothing more than hired servants of the alliaaee. As such, some of them will be called to account by the alliance, in its proper* ly ordered machinery, for tome of their bad conduct. Do?s any man hold that tlie minis¬ ter is the church? If the minister should be charged with corruption, can the church afford to endorse him and, in the face of the charge, abso¬ lutely stifel the investigaatii-n of the mime? Such a church would present % a stiange spectacle before the people, Just s > must it be with the alliance The alliance c nnot afford to suffer under these charges against its offi¬ cials and indorse them without inves¬ tigation. Why are you seeking endoisement before an investigation is Ik d, if the charges are not true? Lei me say, in conclusion that, at the proper time an i before the pro¬ per tribunal, charges will be submitt-* ed. R o amount of bluster or brava¬ do or false statement will p> event the carrying out of the purpose agreed upon. The alliance is a grand conception. Its principles command the admira¬ tion and respect of every good eiri* zen. We can not afford to see the organization go down under charges that are not answered. Good men in the order are determined to rescue ihe alliance from the dangers thatg.hreatj en it. Rest assured the hour for judg¬ ment is coming. No amount if “en- can stop it. \Y. J.
