Americus, Ga., Sept, lg, 1891.
The Alliance claims to have
Fifty-five men in the next House who will
vote with it upon all measures. It also
claims four senators—Peffer of Kansas,
Kyle of South Dakota, Irby of South
Carolina, and Vance of North C rolina.
The Alliance claims Vance because he
was elected after the Legislature of his
state had passed a resolution that no
man could be chosen Senator until he
had agreed to a programme which was
practically that of the Alliance. Mr.
Vance having agreed to those resolu
tions, the Alliance now claims him as its
iwn.

It is reported that there will soou be
another exening paper started in Macon
called trie Sun. It is thought that a for
mer citizen and newspaper man of Fort
Valley will have a finger in the pie.
There are fifty criminal case available
for trial at the October term of Houston
Superir court; ten felony and about
forty misdemeanor cases Of ihese, six
prisoners are in jail and the others are
out on bond. The defendants are all
negroes.

the season that will fully open about the
time of its completion.
Ily these means tourists can be booked
for their southern trips, so as to include
.Americus and the new Windsor; and the
’railroad passenger agents are the peo
ple with whom to arrange this pro
gramme.
In this connection some work will
now have to done with the railroads to
make Americus a tourists* terminal
point, where stop-overs can be made;
else this place can only be reached by
special effort aud extra expense.
General Passen^ct Agent Goodman, of
the Savannah, Americus fil Montgomery,
can be relied on to do his full share of
work in his special field, if other Ameri
cas people equally interested will do as
much.
Let the good work begin right now,
before all the railway schedules for
tourists are made up and Americus and
the Windsor left out.
Shall we go in, or shall we stay out?
THE BERNER RILL.
With one eye wabbling around so as to
catch a possible winlc of approval from
the Alliance; ana the other yanked over
his shoulder with a longing glance to
wards the capltol at Washington, the
railroad wrecker Berner, is again hedg
ing some of the anarchical features of
his railroad bill, by introducing another
that will permit railroads, which, by the
operation of his pending bill, would ho
swallowed up in a financial maelstrom
for violating its provisions—to come
under the tax laws of the state where
they are now exempt, and thus save their
bacon.
“It is made the duty of the railroad
commission, with the aid of the attorney
general, to institute proceedings against
any railroad company or other corpora
tion now exempt from taxation for any
violation of its charter, heretofore or
hereafter committed, and said corpora
tion may relieve itself of all penalties
for said violations by filing with the sec
retary of state consent, in writing, to
submit to taxation; and when said con
sent is so filed, It shall constitute and be
an amendment to the charters of all said
corporations to the extent of subjecting
them to taxation for all purposes/*
SOLD OUT.
The Hustler of Rome says: “We
have it from good authority that the
White Star Line Stemboat Company
has sold out to the East Tennessee, Vir
ginia A Georgia, and that Capt John J.
Seay holds the responsible position of
general freight agent for the great East
Tennessee road.
“And so another important line of
transportation running into and out of
this city has been gobbled up by the
Terminal system, and the Coosa river
farmers are reached by one of Pat Cal
houn’s arms.
“While every Roman will regret to
learn that Capt. Seay has seen tit to sell
this important line which he has owned
and operated for so many years they
will be pleased to learn that he will re
main in charge of the Hue and that the
business will be conducted as formerly.
“The thousands of friends of Capt.
Seay will also be pleased to hear that he
is now the general freight agent of the
East Tennessee system and as such re
ceives a handsome salary.
The prophet of the Atlanta Constitu
tion says:
There’* lot* of work being done for and
arainst the Berner railroad bill, but the
chance* *eem to b* in favor of It* tie .'eat.
H is to be sincerely hoped by every
patriotic citizeu of Georgia that this
will bo true, for few greater calamities
could overtake the state than to have
her railroads financially crippled by the
passage of so unwise and useless a law.
In accepting thc nomination for the
governorship of New York, Roswell P.
Flower declared that he would carry the
party standard to victory. But Jones
of Binghamton swears he will not “pay
tho freight,” and so New York is in a
muddle, as usual.
Col. 8. B. Pickens, general freight
and passenger agent of the South Caro
lina railway, died In Charleston Monday.
ed to a vote. Exactly what changes will
he made in the original sub-treasury bill
has not yet been determined.
Thc southern land loan bill will not be
touched by the Alliance. The leaders
of the latt r are very much put out be
cause the people think the Stanford bill
finds favor with them. The Alliance
people think that bill is designed to help
only those who already have a fair share
of this world's goods, and that the only
people w ho are booming it are those en
gaged in booming Senator Stanford for
the presidenoy. As for the Alliance, it
declares It will have nothing to do with
either Senator Stanford or his bill.
The bill on the same subject and in
troduced under Alliance auspices will
provide for the relief of the agricultural
population of tno United States, and
for the promotion and eucouragement of
agriculture. I s main features will pro
vide that any citizeu who owns and re
sides upon any tract of land containing
not ’ess than ten nor more than 320
acres, and who has at least one-half of
that tract in actual cultivation, shall be
entitled to apply for and to receive from
the treasury of the United States a loan
not to exceed one-half the assessed val
ue of the laud and the improvements on
it. The loans are to be for not less
than five nor more than ten years, and
the borrower is to pay interest at 2$ per
cent.
Another measure which the Alliance
will push is a free coinage bill. These
three measures are tho ones in which it
will take the most interest; but other
bills will come from its hands. It will
have introduced a hill providing for
government control of railroads and tel
egraph systems. In regard to tho rail
road and telegraph companies the Alli
ance is misunderstood, it is said at its
headquarters. It is not, as is generally
supposed, in favor of government owner
ship of railroads and the telegraph. It
simply wants the government to control
them.
The Alliance will not bring forward
any tariff bill. It will content itself
with demanding the equalization of the
tariff so that it will bear upon all alike.
It will, however, put forward bills to
abolish the national banking system.
AN ATTACK OF TUE JIMMIES.
In the swailing swirl of the soughful
wind, as the gust goes glooriug by, I sit
by the bole of the baneful borch, with a
rooau and a soulful sigh. The mellow

And the home of the hootful owl,’

The town will soon be full of poor old
mules which have made a crop and the
purchasers could not pay for them.
Those who sold them will now have to
take them back, grease them inside and

Yesterday morning the first lot of the
new city charters of the city of Colum
bus, declaring the rights and powers of
said corporation and for other purposes,
together with all ordinances adopted by
council from July 1, 1888, to July 1,
1891, were delivered at the city hall by
City Printer John S. Stewart. The book
is well printed In pamphlet form, and is
rendered valuable aod convenient by side

The young German, Joseph Nau, who
died In Macon Tuesday, was not buried
yesterday afternoon, a* was Intended.
Tho burial was stopped by a telegram
from the sorrowing girl who was to have
been his bride, saying she had left
Peoria, Ind., and would arrive In Macon
this morning, and asking that the body
be allowed to remain where It was until
she arrived. It is not known whether
or not the young lady will carry her
dead lover back to her Indiana home and
there lay him to rest or consent to have
the body buried in Macon.
