Mr. Editor: —I Save never felt that I desired to make myself conspicuous through the column^ of a paper, but the status of political affairs is ctiough to who unlock has the at heart tongue Iova |of for every his country and the well being of his fellow man. We can hear it at evefcy gathering— ‘linrd times and the peopli wheels are poor and getting poorer.” The of government are all out of gear, and we all are going down to destruction's fast as time can move us. Did you ever stop to think how our fathers were left at the close o! the of them war? in Negroes debt. tjeed Now, aud what a majority is the condition of the bo* that were from ten to twenty years of tf&e at that time. My observation has been that three out of five have as much U&d as their parents did, especially those; who have taken care of what they made.j Style aud custom caused them to spend siuce that time more than their fathers lost iu slaves—a majority of them a* least. I fear that the cry of hard times is more of habit thau is really true. The end of 1892 will find the fanners of the state of Geor- gia in a more solid condition thau they have been for several years past, and the improvement of condition will be due to strict economy in buying. Had you thought of the lengthy list of articles and things that the fanners of the South have piaced upon cotton1 to buy. You can hardly point your finger at a thing used by a farmer but what is bought and that, too, with the money or promise based on cotton. If the farmers would make and raise all that they consume and use on his farm that this God favored couutry of ours is adapted to, the cry of hard times and third party politics would be beard of no more. Tbe Alliance started out light to school themselves in economy and advancement in agriculture, to make couutry life more beautiful and less lone- ly. How pleasant it war to meat with tbe brethren; no damnable politics, no tricksters, no speculators, no merchants, no lawyers to mislead our minds from the duties laid out before us. Now have huth and confide in the leaders; they are ail from the farm, they will not mislead you; they are no office-seekers. What was the first lesson from our visit¬ ing brother from afar? He starts out by tclhng: . ... I’m , farmer-a tiller .... of ... the soil. .. a All that you farmers need in tins state is a state exchange, and you can trade direct from the manufacturers, Knock out the middle men and save an overwhel- ming per cent The state exchange was established and still oppression comes. The next thing was, and that too, by a new man, “an al ianceman :” The s' exchange is a good thing, but you can never expect the help you need if you don t elect alliancemen to the legislature. lhere is some little law that you ought to have, and if you don t elect your man get your rights, . , , bo .„ we you can never elected them; they all proved Mind tralt °r^ except Tommie Watson. you no rascals were allowed to join the order. Now you can see where our dear bretb- reu begin to show the white of the eye. Next we will frame a new platform and call it the people’s party platform, some- thing that both republican aud democrat can stand upon, adopt''it if the democrats don’t we’ll form a new party. Remember, we started out non-politic. Politics would ruin our order. Don’t you see how our leaders were fooling us? Now they say, out of politics the alliance is a fail- ure. Oh, Georgians, are you going to be deceived longer by those sweet-moutbed farmers? Men wffio stood with the right baud , upon the , Testament _ saying . they would stand in defense of your rights: keep you out of the slums of politics and lift, from you the hand of What was the detent of the force bill by the Republicans for? lhat the Republi- cans could use their deceitful influence upon an organized Democracy who had 8( , J)!tr ated themselves from their fellow- countrymen who were ineligible to that oider W hy did tbe organized Repub- beaus accept a Democratic platform for the People’s party? Because they knew tbey cou [ d uot disorganize the solid South upon another. Oh, ye hypocrites, you fooled the negro for twenty years with the promise of forty acres of land and a mule. I hope that the keen eye of :t Southern Democrat will be ever watching and will not be led into a third party for the republican continuance in power, Now, my fellow countrymen, relief for the farmer will be sure and only sure in a self-sustaining form, aud a democratic victory. Let the cry be no more that cotton cannot be raised at 6 cents a pound. Make your own plowstocks, axe handles and everything that you can make at home for self and beast, and you can raise cotton for what it will sell for. Don’t be hoodwinked by paid deceived political speakers any longer. They have and thev are deceiving you now. Cleve- land did not do right when president. Northen does not do right as governor. Livingston. Mosee. Crisp, Blount, crats generally, do wrong in the minds of some people. So did Christ when upon eartn. Democracy is all right, but some of the exponents are a little wrong; think that the third party will only he mortal as we Democrats are today. Old Red. Clark’s Mill, June 18th. Mr. Editor; —Will you allow me t > reply to Mr. W. J. Champion, whose article will be noticed in a back number of your paper. As he has placed champions him- se [f on record as one of the of the People's party, I would like to ask him a few questions. Mr. contains C. you sav the People’s party Dlatform the sam e ulanks that the Democratic platform did in the days of Thomas jeffersou. Now, sir, if you will show me in an v Democratic platform, from the v 0 f its birth up to the present dav, ou ". s j n <ri e time in the political history of our government a platform containing demands such as you will find in the Southern Alliance Farmer dated March i sb >03 : “We demand that the general government forbid the monopoly of laud f or speculative purposes. We demand (hat the general government shall re¬ c | a i m a n i an ds now owned by aliens. We demand that the gov- eminent issue legal tender notes au d pay union soldiers the difference be- tweeu the depreciated money in which he was paid and gold. Can you show me any democratic platform where they de- manded that the* government build sub- treasurj r warehouses and issue money to the people at 2 per cent per annum (or the something better as has been so re¬ p ea tedly spoken of) on the farm products? y ou say that both old parties are con- t ro u e d by the money power of Wall 8tree t. Do you mean that they are bought or bribed with money? If so bring up your proof aud then I will with¬ draw my allegiance to the democratic party. Now, these are nuts I want you to crack, Meeting of County Alliance.

The distance to the nearest “fixed” g ^ ar been computed by the best astronomers to be about 20,000,000,000,- (jqq m il eSj which, by putting it in another way, would mean twenty million millions miles, a distance so vast that a trip to our own sun seems but a pleasure trip ; n comparison. The next in distance is about four times further away. If we atempt to fix an average f distance for the fixed stars we canno 8ate i y ldacP them nearer than 4,000,000,000,000,bOO of miles awav. light, And what does this involve? wb i ck reaches us from the sun in eight a „d one half (8 1-2) minutes, would take seventy j'ears in making a journey be- tween the average fixed star and our little ““orld, says the Philadelphia Press. If the volume of space included within our solar system were occupied by one huge globe 5,600,000 miles in diameter, even such a mighty mass would be but as a feather in the marvellous spread of space surrounding it. could contain 2,700,- 'I'he sea of space 000,000,000,000 of such globes, each j swinging at a distance approximating : 500.000 miles apart! mind be expected How can the human to comprehend such immensity? | - at Last. ‘‘1 have come to tbe conclusion,” be- g«n Mr. Stalate. “So glad,” murmured the fair victim glancing at tbe clock.
