2 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. Give Rlrth to Triplet*.

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. This In Iowa.

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. CUTTING: ATTAIN, —: AT : — BEAL & OAKLEY’S We offer for the next 30 days at 1-2 Price. 1-2 Price!
