THE AMER1CUS WEEKLY TIMES-RECORDER: FRIDAY, JULY 17, 1891.
NO THIRD PARTY STOCK
WANTED BY CONGRESSMAN MOSES
OF THE FOURTH.
He It a Democrat end Will Remain One—
The Schley County Alliance Picnic at
Hopewell Yesterday—A Synopsis of the
Speech Made.
The Schley county alliance picnic was
a grand success in every particular.
It was held on Thursday at Hopewell
church, about three miles west from El-
laville, in a grove which is well adapted
to picnic purposes. A bold spring just
down the hill furnished an abundance
of good water.
It was a joint picnic of all the sub-al-
liances of the county, and the invitation
was extended to all who would come.
Not only was Schley county out in full
force, but Sumter, Marion and Macon
were well represented, and the assem
blage was estimated at from twelve to
fifteen hundred.
The day was delightful and the
thoughtful managers of the picnic had
provided many conveniences for the ac
-cominodation of the people.
several speakers had been invited, but
'the Hon. 0. L. Moses, congressman
from the fourth district, was the only
one present, and shortly after 10 o’clock
he was introduced to the audience,
which had gathered in seats provided
around the stand, by Mr. J. M. CoIIurn,
.secretary of the county alliance.
Mr. Moses began ills speech by stating
that he had been speaking two or three
times a week, in open air, w hich was
very trying upon his voice, but this
apology was unnecessary as be had a
clear voice and could be distinctly heard
even to the outer edge of the large as
semblage.
One of the first subjects touched upon
was the third party and the speaker
stated in no uncertain tones that he was
a democrat and expected to remain a
democrat just as long as there was a
democratic party. He did not take any
stock in the third party, and thought
that it was a most unfortunate move.
The democratic party had beon fighting
for the people for twenty-five years and
now’ that it could see its way clear out
of the woods and had the republicans
on the run it would not do to turn upon
each other and allow another victory for
the enemy. Ho urged upon the people
to stand together, and If the third party
must come let the whole of the demo
cratic go into it together.
He was opposed to women going into
politics and thought when the mothers
deserted their homes to enter the politi
cal field it would bo a sad day for the
country.
Mr. Moses thought that the little three
months schools were a curso to the coun
try. That the people had como to de
pend upon these schools, and to-day
thero were no schools In the stato except
In the citios. He thought that the state
should provide for better schools in the
country, and Instead of appropriating
money for soldiers of the state to have a
frolic, it should be given to the children
for education.
He strongly advocated the sub-treasury
measure. He did not care so much for
the bill, but the principle of reform in
finances which It contained would bring
relief to the farmers. He thought that
If It was right to give a two-cent bounty
on sugar, that it was equally right to
give the same bouaty on cotton. He did
not approve either.
He said that one complaint against the
farmers was that they did not work
enough, but last year when they made
9,000,000 bales of cotton the cry was
that they had worked too much. He
thought that If the government could
loan money to the banks at. one per cent,
it could loan It to tbe farmers at the
same rate. He was in favor of abol-
ishlngnational banks and let the gov
ernment issue tho money.
Mr. Moses thought that while it took
hard work to get some one to introduce
the sub-treasury bill In the last congress
that In the next the members would vie
with each other as to who should have
the honor of introducing the bill.
Mr. Moses held the close attention of
his audience for nearly two hours and
his address was favorably received by
the people.
After the speech dinner was spread
upon the long tables under the trees and
the large crowd can testify to tho culi
nary skill of the ladies of Schley county.
Thero was an abundance of everything
which goes to make a successful picnic,
and after all had eaten there was
enough left upon the tables for as many
more.
The Schley county alliance is prosper
ous and growing, the farmers have good
crops throughout tho county, and the
people seem happy and contented.

Ga., writes: “My wife was in bad health

Atlanta, July 9.—Great transforma
tions are to be made in the management
of the alliance exchanges of Georgia. The
scope of the central exchange at Atlanta
Is to be greatly enlarged. Co-operative
alliance stores are to be established in
every county in the state.
The whole machinery Is to be supplied
by a New York syndicate. This New
York syndicate is said to be backed by
one hundred million dollars. Its char
ter is not yet perfected nor its name
given to the public.
It is to supply all the alliance stores
and exchanges—unless some other big
concern starts up that can undersell it.
It claims to be able to secure superior
rates of transportation. It is to have a
sort of branch house in Chicago which
is to ship bacon, corn and the like to the
farmers of the south.
J. II. Wardall, a leading allianceman
of South Dakota and a former candi
date for the senate, is one of the leaders
in originating the enterprise. Oswald
Wilson, who is partially manipulating
the Florida Alliance Exchange, from
Williams street, New York, is prominent
in its organization. President Living
ston, of the Georgia alliance, has proved
a valuable accessory in shaping its
course. Col. W. L. Peek, president of
the Georgia State Exchange, has been
to New York to look into the plan.

General Cook Hurt.
Atlanta, July 11. — Gonoral Phil
Cook, secretary of the state, whilo cross
ing a streot this morning, was knockod
down by a hack that was being drivon
recklessly by the driver. The general
was badly hurt. It is said that one arm
and hip were broken and other injuries
indicted.
Another negro has been hustled off to
kingdom come by a determined band of
white men who value the honor of la
dies and little girls above the life of a
black wretch.
The scene of this affair is laid at
Milan and the country immediately
around there, and the affair is one re
volting in every detail.
At, or near Milan, there lives a widow
lady by the name of Lancaster, who
lives by herself—she and her children—
without any man on the place to protect
them. All went well with them, how
ever, and but little time did they de
vote to thinking on their lack of protec
tion.
Thursday night they needed help.
At tho usual hour the family retired,
Among the number was a daughter of
Mrs. Lancaster, a youug lady who is
standing on tho verge of womanhood.
She is fair to behold and is highly fa
vored by those who know her best.
Many a man who knows her would he
glad to claim her as his wife. Modest
and pretty as a pink she was the queen
of a large circle of admirers, the light
and life of her widowed mother’s house
hold.
On the night named above a black
brute broke into the room which Miss
Lancaster occupied, making his way in
through a window. Stealthily he stole
to the bed where the young lady lay
sleeping. Laying a devilish hand, backed
up by ail the brute force of his nature
on her he dragged her out of the bed to
the floor and attempted to ruin tier.
Ho cautioned his victim that as she
valued her life she must keep quiet.
Overcome by fright, she uttered not a
word. It was no use. A terrible scuf
fle eusued between tho black devil and
his victim, which woke the other in
mates of tho house.
Mrs. Lancaster entered the room to
see the bruto struggling for tno ruin of
her daughter. The sight thrilled her
every nervo and gave increased strength
to ovory musclo. Ily a heroic effort sho
frightened tho negro away.
The alarm was sounded and in a short
time a crowd of determined men, armed
with guns, pistols and rifles were scour
ing the country for the human boast
that was making a rapid retreat from
tho scene of his devil's deed.
Tho search lasted for sevoral hours.
When it was ascertained by the pursuers
that they were on tho track of the man
they were pursuing the sun had just
ushered in a new day. A few miles
further they went, through woods and
over Held, and they caught tho negro
they were after. Mrs. Lancaster had
! recognized him and told the party that
went out who he was. Borne of tho men
know him. They were sure of their
man, for when questioned tho negro
owned his dead and begged piteously for
mercy. The maddened men showed him
that mercy which he had shown his vic
tim.
He was caught near Helena, and there
his dend body was left fur the buzzards
and wild beasts to prey on.
The negro was fairly riddled with hui-
lots from guns, pistols and rifles. His
body looked like a pepper box so com
pletely was It rifled with leaden missiles
forced on by a heavy charge of powder.
He had more than fifty wounds on him,
any one of which would have caused
death. Thus vengoaneo was complete
and the men left the negro dead where
be was caught.
Miss Lancaster is completely prostra
ted and her condition is indeed preca
rious.
