Alliance, In DeKnib.couuty, resolv
ed to-day against the action of tho 5 ■

were adopted:
Whereas, The county Alliance of

Resolved, That such action does
not reflect our seutimeuts, nor as
wo believe the seutimeuts of true
Aillaucemeu of this couuty,and wo
hereby euter our solemu protest
against such 9 resolution. We urge
our brother Alllancemen every
where to pause and consider,
whether this discussion,a sub-treas*
ury plan and senatorial matter, is
not for the purpose of diverting at
tention from the operations of the
West Point Terminal to con
trol the next General Assem
bly of Georgia and prevent the pas
sage of uny law carrying into
efleet the provisions of constitution
against unjust discrimination as to
freight rates. It is well to pause
and exaniiie why certaiu Alliance
officials, who are making war on
our fellow countryman, confer so
frequently with West Point Ter
minal ofllcials.
Resolved, That we insist upon or
couuty Allianco maintaining par
amount allegiance to the cardinal
principals of tho organisation and
unyielding opposition to seduc

and Wall streot combinations.

He was a good painter, and drift

He had been away so long until
he had almost forgotten hie oflenso
and scorned to think that the oflt

Yosterday he concluded to ven
ture Into the city and spend the
day.
He came up with several of hie
fellow workmen over the J . A. M
railroad yesterday morning and In
tended to return In the afternoon.
Allen went quietly and shyly
about the city but, as 111 luck would
have It, Id lew tbau two houro the

He managed to keep elesr until

It will be remembered that sever
al weeks ago David Mills died lu
very mysterious manner on a rail'
way train not far from Tlfton.
An Inquest was held, and the re
mains laid to rest among ttye rela
tives of tbe deceased at Sumter
City In this county.
The circumstance of the decease
of Mills was snob that his relatives
were led to suspect that foul play
was In somo way .the oause.
Their dleaatlafaotlon with the
•ult of the Inquest held at the time
of Mllle death led to a post mortem
examination Thursday, whon the
body was taken up at the Bumter
City burying ground.
Coroner Parker, of this eounty,
empanueledajury, and with the
assistance of Drs. Wise and McNath .
the examination waa bold. Attar
the examination the remains were
again Interred.
Dre. Wise and MoNath returned’
this conclusion: "There Is no cause
that we can pereelve that should
have produced the death of. David
Mills exoept a out ill the inside of
the right leg, nesr the ankle, that
would have produoed death by
bleeding If It had not been (topped,
aa the main artary of the Ug was
severed.”
The only witness before tbe
coroners ’jury was 8, T. Wltkerson,
and he testified as follows:
I first saw Mr. Mills at Tlfton
After leaving Albany, Mr. Mills
had a pistol In his hand, hiia left
band, and I begged him til giro
me the pistol. He refuse^ He
then got out of the ear on tha
ground, and I tried to'got him
back on the oar. I ealled Bob Wil
liams to assist me to .get him on
the ear. I then took the 1 pistol
from him. Mr. Mills put oh a pair
of brass knacks and straok tha ear
door. The door was then opened
and I shoved him In the car and
sat down near him and held him In
my lap. He then promised to be
have, and I left him to get some
water to wash my bands, and whan
I returned I found him dead,
ballevaha waa erasy."
The Jury then returned the fob
lowing verdlot:
“We, the jury, ompannelled to
hold an Inquest ovsr the body of
David Mills, dome to tbe oonolU'
alon, after hearing tha evldtioe of
Drs. Wlsoand MoNath and Mr. B.
