Atlanta, Sept. 20.—Hon. T. M.
Norwood gives for publication to
night a lot ter to the AlUancemen of
Georgia. It Is a review of the whole
situation. He begins, in n general
way, upon the subject of (he t Alli*
hijco i:i politic*.*' ' * *?»«--
•‘Tour mission,’* lie declares, “Is
essentially political. Heelng. as
r organization did, the fountain
of our woes in our financial syHtern,
lhe Alliance set to work to provide
a remedy. You liaVo not main
tained that it ia perfect, much less
a panacea. A* soon ns it was hnrn,
it was net upon by the press and
politician*. Its paternity was
enough for them to know. ‘Farm
ers, vrliat do they know of finance ?’
KICKED LIKE A ItALI..
It was kicked from Dan to ltcer-
sheba; it was presented to Con
gress; it could not find a god-fatlier.
Your numerical strength was nut
then known. It was soon found
out, and the next movement made
was to divide your forces. To
e fleet that result four methods were
adopted. One was to keop up the
assault on the sub-treasury plan;
the second was to attack the char
acter and good name* of tbe officer#
you had chosen to .lead you in your
great struggle; the third was to de
cry and abuse you as disorganize™;
and tho fourth was to organize and
put out independent candidates to
beat the regular nominees, who rep
resent tlio views of the Alliance.
You have been denounced for op
posing some men who have been
and are candidates for oflice, when
tiie office-seeker says lie cannot ami
v HI not
ngr
vith
nor attempt to serve
you as you wish. He has no more
right to compiairt at your refusal
than he would were he to ask you
to give him your walking stick for
hiinjto club you with it.
l’OI.ITIl’A L AltJtOOANCK.
Of all tho arrogance, presump
tion, assured superiority, impu
dence, self conceit, imaginable,
that man possessed of these, who,
while iu open opposition to you,
demands ol you a position to sup
port him in order that lie may tight
you! Practical questions are
always fruitful of differences of
opinion. Your sub-treasury plan
g'wid Illustration, and !i
who oppose if should • not expect
those who favor it to su rrendor
their opinions as little children
yield to the judgment of fhoir
parents. You are not children.
You have acquired knowledge by
age, thought ami bitter experience,
through loiig and patient suffering,
men who have been true faith
ful iu every imsition in which y
placed them, and w ho have never
you. You want men who have no
concealment of any of their acts
connected with a public trust,
is your duty to requite,, and your
right to know what your public Her
alds do and why they do it. The
most insidious attack of an enemy
is to disorganise the rank aud tile;
the nios demoralizing is to kill the
officer* in command. You are at
tacked in both ways. Your chosen
leaders
HAVE BEEN- TKAMTBl>,
viilified and slandered. The man
who assaults the repulaU--u of the
pastor injures hf« congregation.
The man who starves tlio fothor In
jures hie family. The man who
viffifies the leaders in a great move
ment casta obliquy on their follow
era. Could Luther's character have
been destroyed the reformation
would have been retarded, if not
prevented. Could Washington have
been tainted by charges of treason,
the revolution would have failed.
I urn illustrating by example, i
am not drawing comparisons, lie-
ware of the friend who professes
friendship and assails your leaders
in oim* breath. Beware of hi

more dangerous than an open at

If you differ among yourselves n
to the best plan for assaulting your
enemy, let po one outside of your
organization reap any advant
age by It. The minority may not
approve of all details of your plan,
but that is no reason for dividing
ami surrendering to any one wb«
opposes it. Von? success depends
on an unbroken front Your way

than any that has been suggested.
It is gaining ground; the more Bis ,

It stands far in advance of the

It is an idle loss, a wa U* of time,
to be discussing whether certain
details of your measu re arc or are

l>y your plan for relief. Press it on
tiie attention of Congress; demand
its consideration, and let debate de

LOCAL PUGILISM.
There was an interesting sensa
tion in local pugilistic circles yes
terday.
it may be regarded ns the open
ing of the tall and winter season In
Amcricus pugilism, and If the
starter is any indication of the pro
gram that is to follow*, the season
promises to be one of unusual in
terest.
The principal actors iu the inci
dent yesterday were Mr. Charley
Foster and Dr. J. B. Hinkle.
It seems that the trouble was due
to some misunderstanding between*
tin* pari ios.
Mr. Foster went to Dr. Hinkle’
office to see him, and the result of
the visit was a list fight of consid
erable warmth, but with no bloody
c fleet*.
The unpleasantness between
these two gentlemen will no doubt
soon be removed, and friendly re
lations be established as formerly
existed between tfiem.

one of tho city council yesterday
that it would bo luiposslbe to got

pation by that time.
There was a vast amount of work
lobe done, and notwithstanding
tho men have labored very hard
arid the parties In charge of the
work have directed tlio laboring
in. n in overy way possible which

A NARROW ESCAPE
Marly this week Coulter & Smith

through Antericui, because it in the

The “boys'* ail arrived in town
Halurday and Sunday, and, of
course, had to cr.il on old friends, as
they hud been jo no for some time
There is one man among them
known as "Shorty.” ILolfafluo
specimen of manhood, and is a fa
vorite with all who know him.
Shorty visited one of his old
friend* on Monday morning who
keep* bar. Hunineas wan brisk and
only himself to wait upon the cus
tomers. Shorty being an all-round
man denned the apron and kept bar
until 8:06 in the afternoon. At tlu
moment he thought of some worl
that he hud left undone at the Wife
crossing. He threw thoapron from
him, ran to the depot and caught
the 4:10 passenger tralu Juat leav
ing the depot. Arriving at Wise lie
finished up his work before the ex
tra coming to Americus arrived, on
which he expected to return.
The extra carries no coaches, or
I even a caboose, therefore Htorty
took a seat on the top of a freight
box. Being tired and greatly fati
gued, us be hud Dot slcpl # uiiy iu

roll from one side of the car to the

bo was wrapped in the sweetest
slumber of ids life, aud lie said lie
imagined he was sailing through

moment he rolled ofi* the cur while
the train was gotng about fifty miles
an hour.. He foil in a sand bank,

Tin* other day while In conversa
tion with a Kkcokdbh re nor ter Su
perintendent \V. W. Starr, of the
Central It ail road of Georgia, said:
“It Ih wonderful how our busi
ness has grown here. Amcricus has
within tho past year become the
most Important shipping point on
the Houthweetern division south of
Macon. It is astonishing what has
been done here.”
There i« notliiug which so clearly
ami forcibly sets fortii the wonder
ful growth ami expansion of Ameri
cas (.’an the tremendous Increase
in tin- business of the Central.
Uniil recently the handling and
storing capacity of the road at this
place waa considered equal to any
i Pin urge or? (hat might develop, but
thMrffy deluge- which completely
submerged the Central yards and
depot, aud blockaded business,
qroused tho management oL tho
road to a sense of the elephant
Americas has grown to be.
As c soon as the blockade was
known to tho management, vigor
ous efforts were at onto put forth to
straighten everything out, and en
large the facilitlca of tho road to
meet the demands of tho business.
Superintendent W. W. Btarr, o|
the Central system, and Superin
tendent McKenzie, of tho South*
western division, came at once to
<lav i^mcrlcus and gave the matter
\ vl“dr personal supervision, and
ftMe ' .^woan-iVas put forth to focil-
tho work.
Twenty-five experienced truck-
xueu are now at work bundling thb
freight that overy train brings iu by
tlio car load. These hands aro kept
iu a constant rush unloading the
Height from the cars aud convey-
iug it into the dopol.
Three yard crews aro busy day untl

ry the oars from place to ptaco ip

One day tho road called In a con
struction train force ot twunty-flvo
men and employed them on the
freight and the work of tho yard.
Fifteen clerks now handle the
bills of lading and shipping receipts,
and attend to tho business uf re
ceiving and transmitting the good*,
aud tho other business of tho depot.
ft has required almost superhu-
mao otlort on the part of the road
and the faithful employees to clear
up thoblockado and get everything
i smooth working order, aud to
tho workjflupcrlfitendents Slarr and
McKonzlo lent their own personal

Krerytiling is all right now and
tho road comes np this morning
ready for business in a business
way. Thing* were working fill
right yesterday whon several <jar
loads of good* came into the yardn
oudtho freight they contained vras

Tiie Central has recognized that
