SHAW, Men’s, Youths,’ Boys’ and Children’s Heady Made Mag 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.
