THE AMERICUS WEEKLY TIMES-RECOh DER: FRIDAY, JULY 17, 1891.
SOME GREAr REFORMS
TO BE ACCOMPLISHED BY THE FAR
MERS' ALLIANCE.
Offlci*' Document From Colonel L
Polk, President of (he National Allis
A Word to the Brethren Throughtout
the Land—The Letter.
The Timkk-Rkcoki>kii publishes the
following official document from the
.National Economist:
To the Brotherhood of the National
Farmers’ Alliance and Industrial
Union:
It is now apparent that the enehues of
reform throughout the country are mar
shalling their forces for a vigorous and
determined effort to weaken and destroy
the alliance. Its future progress will be
stubbornly contested and insisted, but
we will assuredly and gloriously tri
umph, if we be cautious, prudent, faith
ful and firm. The outlook for the suc
cess of the great reforms we advocate
was never so hopeful and encouraging as
now. The order throughout the country
is dally adding to its numbers, and it is
in finer spirit and is more thoroughly
united than ever before. But the pecu
liar conditions confronting us demand
the utmost caution, lest wo commit er
rors, which might prove fatal to our
cause. The action of our state alliance
and of the supremo council, in their
forthcoming annual meetings, will be
universally regarded with earnest inter
est, and the character of that action de
pends largely upon the wisdom of the
subordinate bodies.
The sub-alliances aro to select mem
bers as delegates to the county alliances,
which aro to choose delegates to the
state alliance, which in turn is to select
delegates to the supremo council.
In view of the great and itnportan
work to be done during the next alliance
year, and which must necessarily be
largely directed by the state bodies and
the supreme council, the brotherhood is
earnestly admonished to exercise great
care in selecting the men to whom must
bo entrusted the responsibility of guid
ing our course as an order.
Let those who aro to legislate for us,
in the state alliances and in the supreme
council, be not only our ablest and wis
est men, hut their loyalty to our causo
be without taint or tarnish.
Put none but true and faithful alliance-
men on guard in this hour of our great
need, and all will be well.

Pres. N. F. A. and I. U.

He Wears Sock* and Brain* a* Well, a* It
Happen*.
Jerry Simpson is all right.
He not only wears socks, but lie wears
one of the best balanced heads ever seen
in these parts; a head which is evidently
the abiding place of a good lot of brains.
After his speech on Tuesday Mr. Simp
son was talking with a reporter. He
was earnest in hoping that tho people of
Ohio would set completely down on Mc
Kinley and his iniquitous tariff. He
said that he considered the reducti >n of
the tariff one of the most vital issues of
the day; that he would have spoken on
that line, but understood that Col. Liv-
i ngston was to do so.
He referred to the free coinage of sil
ver as one of the Ocala demands, and
said that Cleveland could never, in his
opinion, bo elected president unless he
gets right on that. “If he is not right
on it,” said Mr. Simpson, “he will cer
tainly he defeated.” He don’t think Har
rison can be elected again, and indeed
that no republican can unless he gets
nearer the people. He thinks tho dem
ocratic party much nearc r the people
than tho republican. When the speak
ership was mentioned ho said:
“I am for your own Crisp, because I
believe him to he the best man for tho
place. Ho is a quick, decisive judge, a
good parliamentarian and what is bet
ter iionest and at all times cool, delib
erate and respectful. I wish I could
have met him on this trip. I shall vote
for him for speaker.”
Mr. Simpson made a good impression
hero. That expulsion will liigliten
that impression ten fold. #

The Jury’* Verdict.
Coroner Parkor and these jurymen
yesterday held an inquest over the negro
who was killed on the S., A. & M. road
Tuesday night: J. F. Bolton, U. S.
Lockett, Joseph A. Cobb, J. W. Walters,
W. G. Ragan, T. B. Glover, D. A. Pettis,
II. B. Raiford, Clem Wildej, T. Q. Bass,
W. M. Ragan and J. B. Dunn.
The evidence showed the negro to be
Wiley Stevens, who lived at Glenwood.
It H was not made plain to the jury
whether the train killed him or whether
he was murdered and placed on the
track, whether he fell oil the train or
got off at a station and was walking
along tho track when he fell down drunk
and was killed. Those who first found
tho body said it was perfectly cold and
that thoy found marks on it which the
train would not have made in their opin
ion. Tho man was drunk and left
Americus on tho passenger train Tues
day afternoon. Tho verdict returned
read:
We the jury find that Wiley Stevens
came to his death from some causo un
known to us.”
John Jackson a colored manipulator
of the trucks at the Central depot in
this city is minus a wife.
And Sam Thomas alias Piedien is the
cause of the trouble.
Sam is a facinating colored dude, who
came to Americus about four months
ago, and boarded at John Jackson’s
house. Up to this time John’s family
relations were all that could be desired,
and his happiness was undisturbed. But
the intruder soon got in his work, and
noodoodd the conilding Ola until she
would give little heed to her husband.
Sam was dismissed from the house and
forbidden entrance, but he had gained
the affections of the dusky Ola, amd on
Tuesday evening they boarded the S. A.
M. cast bound train and fled to parts un
known.
Sam was a drayman for Mr. Walker,
who recently moved to Camilla, and has
probably gone to that place with his
stolen spouse. The woman left a child
about 1 years old, and her husband,
John Jackson, is a hard- wot king and in
dustrious negro.
Ho says he intends to capture the guil
ty pair and send that nigger to the cnain-
gang. It would not be well for Sam if
John should come up with him. There
would not be a greasy spot left of him.

Let the World Know You Are In It.
It seems almost a crime for a man to
“hide his light under a bushel.” If he
has something new that will benefit tho
human race, he should mako it known.
Old fogy physicians tread the beaten
path of their grandfathers, denounces
advertised remedies, and never learn
anything new. Medical science knows
no parallel to Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Pre
scription, compounded by a physician of
skill and long experience, especially for
the maladies which affiict women. It
effects a permanent cure of those ago
nizing disorders which attack her frail
organism, and is an anchor alike to deli
cate girls and suffering women; contains
no deleterious drugs. A guarantee on

Ayer’s Hair Vigor has long held the

Done to tho Convention.
SherilT Dan Davis of Webster county,
Sheriff L. B. Forrest of Sumter county
and Sheriff Troy Holder of Stewart coun
ty are attending the convention of clerks
and sheriffs at Gainesville. Than these
no better sheriffs can bo found in the
country, and it is safe to say that thoy
are three of the jolliest, best men who
are in attendance upon the convention.
The Rich Man’* Son.
Like soft hands and tender llesh, many
diseases aro inherited especially tenden
cies to asthma, consumption, bronchitis
and stomach and liver troubles; but there
is a remedy, known as the “Golden Med
ical Discovery,” which overcomes these
diseases, and cuts off all tendencies to
ward a fatal result. Dr. Pierce of Buf
falo has put this remedy within the
reach of all, so that even the poor as
well as the rich can obtain i*. It is

pounds, and value of crop to producers,

As there is no royal road to learning,
so there is no magical cure for disease.
The elTect, however, of taking Ayer’s
Sarsaparilla for blood disorders comes
as uear magic as can be expected of any
mere human agency. This is due to its
purity and strength.

surely.
Notice!
The patrons of The Times-I’ecomjeb
are urged to pay promptly the bills
which are now duo for subscription, ad
vertising and job work for the past
month. A newspaper lias to pay its
labor the cash weekly, and on tho first
of tho month it is necessary for all its
bills to be promptly collected.
The current expenses of The Timks-
Recoiideb establishment are about $50
per day, which must be paid every
Monday without fail or delay.
We are therefore compelled to press
collections; and wbilo the small bills
that some owe may causo thorn to re
gard tho matter as Insignificant, these
small accounts aggregate several tliou-
and dollars, which we are compelled to
collect promptly to meet our obligations.
A newspaper can’t run a week with

ing him to sign and get Judge Fort and
Solicitor Hudson to sign a letter asking
for his pardon. Tho letter will hardly

STATE BANKS.
Major Speer’s article on financial is>
sues in last week’s Times-Rec’oudeb
has provoked a good deal of comment,
both favorable and adverse, and his
views on the subject, coming at this par
ticular juncture, when the free silver
and national banking questions are up
permost, are quite opportune, and will
set people to thinking.
Some people protest that no matter
what may be the need for more money,
the country cannot afford to return to
the old wild cat ante-bellum system of
state banks, while many others think
any sort of n. mey even if not of the
gilt edged vbriecy is preferable to noae
at all.
The peop o of this generation have
become educated up to a national cur
rency, secured by United States bonds,
current in every part of the land, about
which no question ever arises as to
which hank issues it, or even if it be a
bank bill at all, the common people re
ally scarcely recognizing any diffeience
between a national bank bi’l .and
United States treasury note.
o hack therefore to a system of
state hank issue, where a hill is good,
bad or indifferent, according to the bank
which issues it, will be a radical depart
ure from present methods, which will be
strenuously opposed: and it will be im
possible, until the people are educated
up to such a system, to put tho old
state bauking law into effect.
A compromise between the present
National Banking system and the
ancient plan would seem to be the best
that can be hoped for at present; and
may prove the most satisfactory solu
tion.
This would consist in the issue of state
bank bills secured by state bonds, or tho
first mortgage bonds of well established
trunk-line railways, upon approval of
the security by tho proper state officer,
and a deposit with the Treasurer.
An issue of bank bills to the par value
of the Georgia bonds deposited with the
.State Treasurer to secure the issue,
would be acceptable to every body in
Georgia, and iu the entire Union—except
Henry Clews in New York; and such
money would be as good as any National
Bank bills ever issued.
The same might be 3aid of issues based
upon Georgia Railroad, Central Railroad
and other well known bonds of similor
kind.
Such a schome could put into circula
tion in Georgia live to ten million dollars
of good sound currency; and a similar
movement in other states would soon
givo tho people all tho money needed to
relieve the Financial stringency.
All that need be done after a repeal by
congress of tho prohibitive tax of ten per
cent, on such local issue, would be for
the legislature to pass stringent laws as
a safeguard against* fraud and irregu
larity; and the financial questions now
stirring the country would have gone
very far towards a practical solution.
What say our financiers to state bank
money secured as above indicated?
What say the alliancemen, who want
the sub-the sub-treasury bill, or “some
thing better?”
Let the people reason together on
these vital questions; and from tho con
census of all views from all sides, that
truth is sure to be evolved.
