110 Forsyth St.,
AMERICUS, GA.
The alliancemen throughout the coun
try find themselves with a knotty prob
lem to solve just now. Something of
more vital importance than the third
party has come up for consideration.
The result may be that two branches of
the alliance, one secret, the other non-
secret, will be formed.
Or it may be that the whole thlug will
be made open In its workings.
The problem to be solved and its im
portant bearing on the order is best told
iu the following:
“Many members of our order have re
cently found themselves in au embar
assing predicament,*' said an alliance
officer yesterday. “The trouble is be
tween the Hardshell Baptist church and
the alliance. The Hardshells, it seems,
have a clause iu the creed or constitu
tion of their chinch which forbids any
metulier of the church being a member
of a secret order. The alliance happens
to be a secret order, and as a conse
quence many members of it have re
cently been turned out of the church for
violating its laws. Of course that will
never do. Some of our best me in bo s
are members of the Hardshell church
and a man should not give up Ids church
for anything. The alliance must do
something in the matter. The only
remedy 1 see is to have two branches of
the order-one secret aud the other
open. It's a question of deep moment
tons. There are perhaps 2,000 Hard
shell Baptists now in the alliance, and
unless we act quickly they will either
have to get out of the church or the al-
liauce.”
Throughout Georgia there aro many
Hardshell or Primitive Baptists, and iu
no part of the state have they more
strength than throughout this section,
known as Southwest Georgia. In Sum
ter, Marion, Schley, Stewart and Web
ster It is safe to say that one-third of the
number of Hardshell alliancemen given
above can be found.
These people rank among the best
citizens, most prosperous farmers aud
staunchest alliancemen to be found any
where, but they will allow nothing
come between them and the
fundamental principles of their religion.
That clause which says no believer In
that creed or form of religion shall be a
member of any secret is as old as the
Hardshell faith Itself. It taught to the
children and when they grow up they
are firm believers in it
So something must be done.
If something is not done those 2,000
good men and true will have to draw out
of the order which is based on principles
that will accomplish much for them.
A reporter mentioned this matter to a
well known allianceman yesterday. He
said:
“Yes, something must be done. We
can’t lose these men now, and I don’t
take to the idea of two branches of the
order. In fact, that would be a suicidal
policy, for a distrust would be sure to
spring up between the two factions. As
it seems to m< it would then he
nothing more nor less than a house di
vided against itself falling. Still, we
cannot run rough shod over the relig
ious belief of these people. The consti
tution of the United States assures to
every citizen of this country freedom of
religious belief, and it would indeed be a
pretty pans that we hod come to if we,
who have banded together together to
support that constitution in all ita broad
conception, should openly fight against
it. I think the beat way out of the
trouble is to make the alliance non-
secret.'*
“But wouldn't that Interfere material
ly with the usefulness of your order?"
was asked.
“I don't think so. We have nothing
in our order save that of which we cau be
proud, and I honestly believe that it
would extend the influence of the order
aud make ns more useful if this should
be done. I am almost confident that
mauy whom we now count against us
would stand shoulder to Hhoulder with
us if they realized, as they would
then be capable of realizing, how
identical our interests aro with
theirs. Down hero we are satisfied to
tie to the democratic party, and I con
sider this matter of keepiug these men
within our ranks, to say nothing of the
large number who will come in if we are
non-secret, of vastly more Importance
than trying to Imlster up a third party
scheme."
There are thousands of others in Geor
gia who are of the same way of thinking
and this matter will no doubt be consid
ered with as little delay an possible.
The Sumter county alliance will no
doubt take it up at its next meeting.
Clo ed Last Night.
The McCoy hill school had Its closing
exercises at the o|>era house last night.
All the available space In the building
was packed by a dense mass of negroes.
The programme rendered showed con
siderable care In Its preparation and it
was well rendered. The entire affair
was a credit to the teachers aud pupils
and it should go a long way toward
silencing the northern republican papers
w ho have so much to say about the poor
mistreated negro of the south. Amerl-
cus* public school system certainly does
the handsome part by the colored chil
dren of this city.
We have for sale a one thousand dol
lar Knabe piano, the finest one of that
make ever brought south. It will bo of
fered to-morrow morning at 9 o'clock,
and will be sold at a great sacrifice, as It
has got to go. It is a magnificent instru
ment, and someone will secure a great
bargain. James Fkickbk & Bko.
Tlie Angels Took Her.
Little Gomelia Taylor, the 7 year old
daughter of Mr. A. A. Taylor, died Sat
urday night of paralysis. She was
stricken Wednesday of last week and
never rallied from the dread disease
which had attacked her. All that lov
ing hearts and skilled physicians could
do w'as done to keep together the silken
thread of her life, but at the time stated
it was broken and the angels claimed the
sweet little one for their precious own.
Her fond parents have the sympathy of
many frieuds in this, their time of terri
ble sadness and pain of heart.

Do you notice that we not only advertise our store and
our goods, but also advertise our prices. If you will look
over the above list you will see that we are not cutting prices
on a line of goods that is getting out of style or out of season,
but that we are cutting prices on staple articles of glassware..
We have two reasons for doing this. One is that we want to
cut down our immense stock of glassware. The other is that
we want you to know our prices, and then have those prices
open to strict comparison, and strict competition.
