FRANKLIN COUNTY.
An Interesting Zetter
About an interesting
Section of Georgia.

cellent Cnurches—A Happy
People.
From Caine«TiUeEagle-
Editors Eagle : It ia my custom
to make a trip into Franklin county
at least once each year, and I hazard
nothing in saying that of all my
visits, dariDg my vacation, there is
none to which I look forward with
more real pleasure than that which
brings m* in contact with the people
of this prosperous county. There
may be a little sentiment mixed with
this pleasure, for a man always holds
in grateful rememberance those who
aided him when he most needed their
assistance. When the Seminary was
a much smaller affair than it is now
and it seemed almost impossible for
it to exist longer in the face of the
many obstacles which confronted it,
Franklin county sent twelve of its
bright and premising girls to us, giv¬
ing the institution its first foreign
patronage, under its new manage¬
ment.
Every year since there havo been
from five to ten Franklin girls with
us, who have taken high rank in the
school and have gone home
speaking pleasant words of their
alma r ater. These things make the
citizens of Franklin interesting to
me, and cause me to look forward to
my ‘‘annual pilgrimage” into their
midst with pleasant anticipations.
But it s not only the friendly feel¬
ing manifested towards the Semi¬
nary tl.at calls forth my high opinion
of its people. Nowhere will you
find a lommunity more moral, in
tellige't, industrious aud prosperous
than '.hose who have their homes
hsre. Some two or three years ago
I attei led a Literary Society, with
my fri md, Mr. G. L. Carson, at the
school honse in bis neighborhood.
Before the meeting was called to or¬
der, 1 ' ook occasion to examine the
buildit g. It was a large, roomy,
frame louse, neatly ceiled.good seats
and desksjdackboards, charts,stage,
curtain, in fast there was everything
necessary to the successful work of
a frst nlais high school. Soon the
members began to gather. Old men
and v mien, middle aged people,
young men and their sweethearts
and ev 'n small children came in un¬
til, not vithstanding the inclemency
ot the night, the room was comforta-
bly filled. When the president call¬
ed the society to order, every one
respon led to his duty, questions
were discussed in a manner which
showed previous preparation and
recital .ons rendered which evinced
tbotov >;h training. I was amazed
at what i saw, but supposed that
intere. would soon die out and the
society go down. Judge of my sur¬
prise then when, on my recent visit
to the same place,I found that there
was a >rowtb of interest in such
matte s in this community and that
other ettlements seeing the good
results of this society, had caught
the spirit of intellectual development
> and h: ci organized similar ones. At
Reid Spring, Hebron and Central (I
believe) the people meet every Fri¬
day night and the good that is being
done is estimable. Can not we of
tie Hawthorne Circle or Magazine
Club here in Gainesville learn a les¬
son from these people who although
living ‘wo to four mils apart, keep
up su ;h social and intellectual m«et-
, ings v ith ever increasing interest
SCHOOLS.
Th- country schools of Franklin
count - are among the best that I
have ever visited The people arc
thoro glily aroused upon educational
matters and well built well filled
a chooi houses are found everywhere
T» Col. Dortch the efficient county
commissioner, much of this interest
is due. Disinterested parties all aver
the county informed • me that Col.
Dortch had done more for education
in the r midst than any other one
man. In the first place (Jol. Dortch is
a com etent man for the positioa he
holds he is well informed upon all
matters pertaining to school work;
i is tomewhat of an enthusiast upon
the subject and has personal]}’ visited
every school house in his county,
makeing speeches giving advice and
inciting teacher s; pupils and patrons
to higher and nobler ideas. In this
part of Frank!in‘s prosperity, the
Seminary takes a pardonable pride
for several of our best girls are found
in the ranks of its teachers. While
Miss Dortch an alumnus of the Sem¬
inary and the talented editress of
the Tribune, is not a teacher, her
columns are freely given to every
move looking to better schools, and
to her pen the people owe much of
their educational enth usiasm.Misses
Dora Carson, Delia Neal and Alice
Nance,al 1 Seminary girls, have large
schools and are conducting them to
the greatest satifaction ©f their pat>
rona. They have introduced mod¬
ern methods and are splendid exam-
p l es of the fact that women make
our best teachers. Three years ago
I endeavoied to persuade a com-
munity of this county to employ a
lady teacher, They positive'y re¬
fused to do so, and engaged a gen¬
tleman. When Miss Carson gradu-
uated last year, they decided to alio V
her to tike the school, but would
give no assurance of support, Be¬
ginning with a very small sckooljshe
has made an enviable reputation as
a teacher and so pleased are her pat-
rous, as are those of Misses Nea 1 and
Nance, that they now dec'are they
wflB a 1 ways emp'oy J ady teachers.
Miss Annie Bram'ett, whom we hope
to have at the Seminary next term,
a'so has a sp’endid schoo 1 , and I
never spent a more pleasant hour
than the one in her school room.
But my letter is growing too long,
and yet I have not said half enough
about myfsubject. All through the
county you will find pleasant, well
furnished homes, festile lands good
crops and excellent churches and
schools. The prettiest church that I
have eyer seen outside of a city or
town is at Bold Springs—nicely fur
nished and carpeted
Among the gir’s who wi 11 probaFy
be in the Seminary from Franklin
next year are— Misses Sue and Fan¬
nin Adcrho’d, Cora, Laura and Ella

GEORGIA LAWMAKERS.
Are Opposed To The People’s
Party.
-The Atlanta Journal interviewed
every AUianceman, who could be
found about the house and senate
upon the third party question.
These two questions were pro¬
pounded to them:
(1) Do you think it probable that
a third party will be organized in
Georgia?
(2) Are you in favor of such a
movement?
Fifty Alliancemen in the house
and fifteen in the senate—all good
and true—said in purport:
“We do not believe a third party
will be or ganized We are utterly
opposed to it. The Democracy lias
been true to us and we will stand by
it no matter which way the tide
may flow.”
Thirty-eight Alliancemen in the
house and six in the senate, just as
good and just as true, said that they
would fight their battles in the Dem¬
ocratic party until a new party seem¬
ed absoluely essential to secure the
reforms demanded in the Ocala plat-
form.
Twelve representatives and sejen
senators gave answers so evasive
that they aro not subject to strict
classification.
Nine members of tlis house and
two members the senate said in terms
too plain to be misunderstood: “I
believe it is comiDg and I am ready

ITHE ALLIANCE IN KAN-
oo
It Has Demoralized Both The
Old Parties, and is stronger
Than Ever.
Topeka Dispatch to the New York Times.
Flushed with success, the Kansas
Alliance has thrown off all disguise
and proposes to carry everything in
this state at the fall elections. That
it can do this, or nearly so, now
seems to be a reasonable certainty.
The Republicans are badly demora¬
lized, while the Democrats have
practically- lost their organization.
Strong as the Alliance was last fall
it has more determination now than
ever before. The opposition seems
to be waiting for it to disinte grate,
while even to a casual observer its
more than military discipline is
plainly apparent There is an evia
dent lack of the frothy enthusiasm
»o noticeable last year, but there is
no change in the purpose to assum e
control in Kansas- Neyer for one
day have the leaders ceased their
work of “ education,” but have gone
on increasing the faith ; and, what is
to them more important, have gone
on increaaing the number of voters.
False and vapory as the views of
this party may be, there has been no
attempt to meet its so-called argu¬
ments. In every school house in the
state meetings have been constantly
held in which the sub-treasury
scheme and the government control
of railroads have been fully discuss-
ed. The Alliance songs have been
sung and every member has had an
opportunity to explain his plan of
saving this nation from ruin. No
man is so ignorant that he is not at
least respectfully heard. The aim
seems to have been to cultivate the
self-esteem of the individual raeni -
bers. All the intensity of egotisti¬
cal ignorance seems to have entered
jnto this remarkable campaign,while
the old party leaders appear to have
regarded the uprising merely as a
temporary one. The wonderful
strength of the movement is not even
not yet fully comprehended.
There are elements of usefulness
in the Alliance that are so apparent
that they have been commended by
the leaders of all parties, while the
more dangerous principles have
been overlooked. Here has been the
strength and here is the danger from
the new party. The leaders,or near¬
ly all of them, in this, state are pro¬
nounced Anarchists, who conceal
their real yiews, but who gradually
unfold to their following the v.n«
American doctrines they hold. There
is not a great mind among these
leaders, and the members say with
truth that “for once the common
people are being heard.”
There is no doubt about their
being “common.” Among the 300
01 500 lecturers in Kansas, a single
educated man cannot be found, while
the women are principally of the
Lucy Parsons style. There are some
exceptions to the latter, but not
many. The most notable is Mrs.
Duggs, a bright, ambitious little wo°
man, with no scruples in her public
life. Had her husband been able to
make her a respectable living and at
the same time been able to gratify
her desire for an education, she
would never have been an Alliance
shining ,:gbt. As it is she is a wo*
man more dangerous to the peace
and security of society and property
than is Mrs, Parsons. Mrs. Lease,
who is considered a derui-gud, is a
devoted followed of Most, but with
shrewdness-enough to conceal the
more obnoxious features of her be¬
lief. As an atheist of pronounced
type, she appeals to her God ancl to
her Saviour in. all her speeches with
the glibness of a Methodist exhort-
sr, She has a flow of words and a
brazen assurance that capture the
average Alliance member and fill him
with enthusiasm. Two other lead¬
ers have already achieved national
reputation — Peffer and Simpson,
There are many more here just like
them and they are at Work.
No other party has been so man-
aged as to bring the young man into
local prominence, a distinction so
gratifying. Every sub-AlUance is a

tions study, can be Made without vexatious

are members—silent it is true, but
they are there to hear the first efforts
of the ameteur financier, who,having
received his pabulum from the ofll-
cial paper, considers himself fit to ex¬
plain theories to others. He is en-
couraged in this by the older men,so
that before long he is prepared to re¬
ceive his commission as lecturer,
Having taken such a decided stand,
he is not likely to falter. lie may
not show as much enthusiasm as ot
old, but he is more determined, and
his power to aid the new party rs 1
greater.
The policy of “rotation in office”
adopted by this party has also
strengthened it to a wonderful degree.
1 he love for oflee has opportunity in
the Alliance of bemg gratified in
marked contrast with the old parties,
where each office holder seemed to
hold on with a death grip and to
give bis family all he could not cover
himself. Human nature has not
been changed, but discipline has
caused the members to yield their
own wishes for the benefit of the
many. While this method may in
no sense be called permanent, it
strengthens the new party, as it ap¬
parently enforces the doctrines of
the greatest good to th e greatest
number.
It must not be supposed that all
these Alliance speakers are actuated
by any feeling of pule loye. They
are a mercenary lot. Any ordinary
business man can see where they
are at work for an assured revenue.
They, however, give their people
what they want, which causes the
victims to submit cheerfully to the
financial bleeding that is a prominent
feature in the Alliance faith.
The Republicans can be beaten
out of sight if the Democrats and
Alliance fuse, but this will hardly
be done except in a few cases. There
is a good reason for this. One more
fusion, such as was made in many
counties, and the Democratic party
would be a thing of the past in Kan¬
sas. Badly demoralized as the Re¬
publicans are in this stUe, the Dem¬
ocrats are in a much worse condi¬
tion. In fact,in some counties there
are not enough Democrats to form a
county central committee. Acting
on the advice of their leaders they
had gone into the Alliance for the
purpose of controlling it. Tne usual
result followed. In due time these
Democrats became the devoted fol¬
lowers of the loud voiced demago¬
gues who led that party. And now
Democratic leaders are recommend-
ing fusion. The Alliance leaders and
organs scoff at the idea of fusion,ex¬
cept when the identity of the oppo¬
site party is entirely abandoned. The
purpose to nominate only known AL
liancemen for aDy place is not con*
cealed.
Senator Plumb, wise man as he
may be utterly mistakes the aims and
purposes of the Alliance in this state.
He is advising his friends to pursu e
a policy of conciliation, *nd not to
irritate the Alliance by strong oppo¬
sition. He would have many of
their views indorsed, and would
have Republicans work with them
for the bett erment of politics. He
does not seem to know that
have already determined to hang
scalp beside that of Ingalls’. He
now making the mistake made by
Senator Ingalls. He is yielding
principles to this organization, be.-,
lieving that be the oDly way to save
himself, and thus save his party. The
only' difference between the
distinguished senators seems to be
Plumb lacks courage while
lacked principle. The result will
be the same. Plumb is serving
last term. It the Alliance
its power, that organization will
him out of sight; if the
regain their lost strength they
punish the senator for his efforts
deliver them into the hands of
enemy. The action of both
in waiting for the new party to die
will certainly give the Alliance
state.

Died in Atlanta, Dec.. 23, 1889.
Graduated at the Stale Univer.*

“Thu hour little needs the loyal¬

the broad and perfect loyalty that
lovos and trusts Georgia alike with
Massachusetts — that knows no

From Mr. Grady’s speech at the
snnual banquet of the Boston Mer¬

1889.
“The germ of the best patriotism
is the love that a man has for the
home he inhabits, for the soil he
tills, for the trees that give him
shade, and the hills that stand in his
pathway. * * * The citizens stand-
ing in the doorway of his home—
contented on his threshold—hi* fam»

while the evening of a well-spent
dpy closes in scenes and sounds that
are dearest—he shall save the Re¬
public when the drum tap is fntilo

From the address of Mr. Grady,
delivered for the societies of the
University of Virginia,June 25,1889.
