ALLIANCE EXCHANGE
IT IS WITHIN GRIFFIN'S
REACH.
5 Committee Arrive and States
What Is Required—Simply
BuUdings>nd Grounds.
The Alliance Exchange committee,
consisting o! President Felix Corput,
of Cave Spring, L. L. Livingston, of
Covington, W. A. Broughton, of
dartown, arrived here yesterday
morning at 8:15, and in about an
hour met with a number of represen¬
tative Griffin gentlemen at the office
of the Merchants and Planters Bank.
Besides the visitors there were pres¬
ent, J. J. Hunt, J. D. Boyd, H. C.
Burr, T. J. Kimbrough, B. N. Bar-
row, R. F. Strickland, H. H. Bass,
S. H. Deane, W. E. H. Searcy, W. J.
Kincaid, T. J . Brooks, T. R. Mills,
H. T. Patterson, F. D. Dismuke and
Douglas Gftessner, representing near¬
ly every line of business in Griffin.
Being called to order by Col. Hunt,
Mr. Corput arose to explain the
business of his committee.
“Gentlemen, as this is a matter of
business and record, and I wish to
make plain the objects which the Al¬
liance has in view,” said Mr. Corput,
“I have brought to this meeting a
written statement which, with your
permission, I will now read.
He took from his pocket and read
the following address:
The alliance is a class organization:
was born of necessity, fostered by
unity of interests, and cemented by
fraternal love. It is here to stay,
and will work for the protection of
the interests of its members and not
for mercantile the purpose interests of antagonizing of the country. the
The farmer in the past has not only
had the price of his purchases of his
necessities fixed, but also the price
on the product of fcis labor arbitrari¬
ly assessed, leaving him no discre¬
tion in the matter.
The present state of affairs can
best be understood when it is stated
thatin 1887 the commissioner of ag¬
riculture informs us that the farmer
paid interest on his supplies at the
rate of 78 per cent, per annum. Or¬
ganization for the betterment of the
condition of the producers necessita¬
tes a certain elimination of the inter¬
mediate profit for of this having purpose, voice and in
further purpose a

price upon their produce, and obtain¬
ing, through thorough organization concessions
and freights co-operation, and transportation such

their large numbers and extensive
business entitle them to, they have
organized the Farmers’ Alliance Ex¬
change of Georgia. For twelve
months this work has been prosecu¬
ted with all the vigor that was con¬
sistent with / the best interest and
permanent growth of the scheme.
The exchange is now ready for busi¬
ness, and has invited, through its
officers, the various cities in the state
to take into consideration the ad¬
vantages which its location in their
midst wilTgive them over other that
points. It is for this purpose
we are here today and also for the
purpose of explaining our mode of
work, and conclusively showing you
that it will benefit your mercantile
interests. The Farmers’ Al 1 a ice Ex¬
change has adopted a plan different
from other like organizations. if They
propose to make a large option
bouse for the benefit'of their mem¬
bers alone. Bulletins will be issued
periodically, as may be deemed neces¬
sary to thoroughly inform all of the
members of the alliance, quoting
such goods and the farm, supplies advising as are the a

this means much cotton will be con¬
centrated to the city of their choice,
thereby materially increasing the
bulk of its business. The same can
be said of all other products of the
farm. In agricultural implements, gins

machinery generally, they propose

general possl thereby in¬
them into pse,
creasing his capacity for doing work
many folds. The advantage to the
wholesale dry goods, shoe, crockery, and
tinware, stove merchant, to
dealers in all other manner of comod-
ities must be apparent. If a county
in lower or upper Georgia orders a
carload of wagons, plows, meat, or
.other heavy supplies, in most in¬
stances coffees, sugars, form dry part goods, of
crockery, etc., will a
that order, these items would perhaps
otherwise never find their way to the
counties from the Georgia cities. The
exchange will carry on its business
on a will cash thereby basis, or its much equivalent, lessen
and very business. In
the risk incident upon
return for this they will expect the
very lowest possible profit on goods
and the co-operation and friendliness
of the merchants; they will endeavor
to inspire confidence and expect to
desire and receive the same. We
have frankly explained our business
policy and methods. We hope they
meet your approval and that not
only your notea liberality, but self-
interest will indicate to you how
much this new enterprise the (virtually
concentrating the trade of entire
state) is worth to you.
It is no wildcat scheme, but one
forced upon a class which, after years
of submission, have resolved to bet-
tertheir condition. With the farm¬
ing interests of Georgia this is the
last ditch, and the permanent loca¬
tion of the exchange in some city, in the or-
if need be, some cross road
state, is a foregone conclusion.
follow I leave such it with you, policy gentlemen, to
line of as your
judgement dictates.
Mr. Corput was asked whether the
location of the Exchange would be
determined by the highest bid, to
which he responded that it was sim¬
ply the matter of a home. They did
not desire any large bids, as they did
not ask for capital with which to con¬
duct their business. What they want¬
ed was a few acres, with warehouses
and offices, on a railroad that would
afford side track facilities. Their ob¬
ject was to keep samples of every¬
thing, to store cotton and obtain ad¬
vances on the same. They expected
to at least double the cotton receipts
of any town where located.
As regards the size of the ware¬
house necessary for the storage of
cotton, Col. Livingston thought that
farmers who were able to hold would
hold at home, while the bulk of that
handled by the Exchange would have
to be sold rapidly by those who were
iu debt.
Col. Livingston said he had found
some prejudice on the part of mer¬
chants in Atlanta, but that the Ex¬
change would not interfere with the
merchants. It 'was intended to
stop corners in every line of business,
and to this the merchant could not
object. The Exchange would be
merely a restraint or regulator, and
nine-tenths of the trading would be
through the merchants, who could
buy and sell for as low a price for
cash as the Exchange; in fact,
with more experience, could do tet¬
ter for at least the first two or three
years. It would create nothing but
a fair competition. The Exchange
could not sellgoodsat first cost, any
more than the merchants, as all ex*
penses and salaries must be
made out of it; but they could make
the profits in every line more reason¬
able than they were in some lines.
Their expenses really would be high¬
er than the merchant’s.
Mr. Corput said that the place
where the Exchange is located would
get every advantage of its presence
and the large trade it would draw,
while if not located there the place
would suffer from all the disadvant¬
ages there might be just the same.
It was argued that by building up
a market it would induce manufac¬
turing. The Exchange will handle
mules, bacon, agricultural imple¬
ments, guano and the like; it would
t not handle shoes, fancy groceries, no¬
tions or dry goods. With the Ex¬
change backing the Board of Trade
with its 80,000 votes, the city where
it is located could get just such con-
essions from the railroads as it
might ask—through rates, rebilling
privileges and a compress
Being pressed as to what the com¬
mittee would require for a bid, it was
definitely stated that what would be
asked would be two acres of ground
in or near the city, with side track
privileges, and the necessary build¬
ings theron; the buildings would be
one with four offices, each about
16x18 feet, and two warehouses, eaqji
about 50x150 feet. The offer could
be made either in the lot and build¬
ings, or the money necessary to pur¬
chase and build the same. .Bids to
be opened at 12 o’dock noon on Oc¬
tober 7th.
Col. Hunt Mien addressed the com¬
mittee briefly on the advantages
that Griffin offers outride of any bid
that we might make, Bpeaking of the
Alliance enterprises already in oper¬
ation, the presence of the experiment
farm, railroad facilities, central posi¬
tion as regards reaching cotton mills
—at this point, Columbus, Macon,
Athens, Atlanta, Augusta, etc.; that
we could offer a better situated site
than Atlanta or Macon and lower
tuxes.
The meeting then adjourned until
two o’clock, when the committee was
carried around the city and shown
different eligible sites.
After viewing the town, which cre¬
ated a favorable impression upon
them, the committee returned to At¬
lanta at four o’clock yesterday af¬
ternoon. Col. Livingston will visit
Augusta, but the committee will not
visit Macon, which is virtually out
of the contest.
With a liberal donation and the
proper spirit, Griffin can get this en¬
terprise. Atlanta is the only other
competitor in the field, and does not
really seems anxious for it. But the
time to act is short.

Visible Stars.
The total number of stars out can see will
depend very largely upon the ckarness of the
atmosphere and the keenness of the eye.
There are to the whole celestial sphere about
6,000 stars visible to ah ordinarily good eye.
Of these, however, wo rim never see more
than a fraction at any one tins, ftokw because a
half of the sphere is always the hori¬
zon. If we could see a star in the horizon as
easily ly as as to tbe zenith, a half of the whole
number, jOOO, would be vhible

phere as greatly to obscure their light, 4
only the brightest ones can then be seeu. s
a result of this obscuration, it is not likely
that more than 2,000 stars can ever be taken
in at a single view by any oidinary eye.
About 3,000 other stars are so near the South
pole Hence, that they of 8,000 never supposed rise in our be latitudes. visible,
out to
only 4,000 ever come within the range of our
vision, unless we make a jonrney toward the
equator.
As telescopic power is increased we still
find stars of fainter and fainter light. But
the number cannot go on increasing forever
in the same ratio as with the whole brighter magni¬
tudes, because if it did the sky would
be a blaze of starlight. If telescopes with
powers far exceeding our present ones were
made, they would no doubt show new stars
of the twentieth and twenty-first, etc., mag¬
nitudes. But it is highly probabls that the
number of such successive ordere of stars
would not increase to the same rate as is ob¬
served to the eighth, ninth and tenth magni¬
tudes, for example. The enormous labor of
estimating the number of accumulation stars of such classes
will long prevent the of sta¬
tistics on this question; but this much is
tain, that in special regions of the sky, which
have been searchingly examined by various
telescopes iff successively increasing aper¬
tures, the number of new mere fotmd Is by
no means to proportion to the increased

Loan Associations.
It Is estimated that there are about
co-operative savings and loan associations
tbe United States, that their
of property represent *300,000,000, paid them and
the amount which will be to

*66,000,000. These association* in their ear¬
lier days to Philadelphia were called
clubs, and later they have been known
the name of building'and loan associations.
Under any name they mean essentially one
and the same thing, which is the forming
corporations to which the members si
loan money to one another on certain
terms, and by means of which laboring men,
for the most part in our towns and cities,
be able to add to the shares which they have
purchased to this association, together
the fines and dues which accrue, a sum equal
to what they have already invested to than,
and apply it to the building or buying
homes for themselves. During the last thil
years these associations have in crea sed to
parts of the country. The fir* one was
