8 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. L. L. Polk, Pres. N. F. A. and I. U. Washington, D. C., July 3, 1801. SIMPSON 19 SOLID. HIS WIFE LEFT HIM. Letter List. The following unclaimed letters will bo sent to tho dead letter office if not called for in ten days. Say “advertised letters” when calling for them at office: Elizabeth Barnes, Isaac Covington, Miss Lisio Clark, R G Dunn, Charles Flynn, Minnio Gaines, Miss Adda Gison, Mrs W A Gray, II Griffin, S B Holly, Mrs S P Ilill, III Hobbkin, T A Ilargcs, Miss Maratia Harris, Mrs Susan Hollis, Miss E O Johnson, John Lee, Miss Ophe lia Lundy, Miss Laura Manor, Mrs Del phic Moore, Miss E Maud Neil, Wm L Phcns, James Pugh, Della A Parker, Miss Suy Robson, W B Roberts, Willie Rusher, Albert Smith, J L Sims, Robert Sima, Frank Teems, Mrs Mealan Wells, Barctah Wiggins. J. C. Ronky, P. M. Americus, July 15, 1801. 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. # Done off With Another Darkey Who Worked the Hoodoo Trlrjc. 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. Tho very finest' brand of Havana cigars fetches $1.50 per thousand in Paris. 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.

E. B. Forkkh, With Cornwell & Chipman. At New York, Dr. Austin Flint, A. C. Brown and Robert Moslay, as commis sioners, with a sheriff’s jury, held an in quisition into the mental condition of II Victor Newcomb, the Wall street bro ker, and adjudged him a lunatic. Ayer’s Hair Vigor has long held the first placo, as a hairdressing, in tho es timation of the public. Ladies find that this preparation gives beautiful gloss to the hair, and gentlemen use it to pre vent baldness and euro humors in the scalp. i 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 worth more to you than “piles of brick and stone and gold.” Ask your druggist for It. It’s guaranteed to benefit or cure in every case, or money paM for it will bo refunded. The census office tobacco statistics of Georgia show that the total number of planters in the state during the census year was 3,200; total area devoted to to bacco, 800 acres; total product, 263,752 pounds, and value of crop to producers, $28,556. To Boarding House Keeper*. This is to givo notice that Jim Smith boarded with mo several months, and J. M. Wimbish, W. A. Robinson and G. T. Payne boarded at my house for two weeks, when all of them skipped out without paying their board. 1 do this to place other boarding house keepers jn notice. They are all S. A.

William Allbright of Oakland commit ted suicide Wednesday by cutting his throat. He had been on a drunk. 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.

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 out money; so come up to the captain’s ollicc and settle. Times Pi-hushing Company. To Printers and Publisher*.

Want* to Get Out. - Eugene Pooler the young negro who is serving twenty years in the pcnlten-’ tiary for wholesale robberies committed in 1880, among them the stealing of the clothing and valuable of Dr. W. II. Philpot and Mr. R. P. Baldwin of Tal- botton, who wero staying at Dr. W. P. Burt’s during the 1 eunion of the Fourth Georgia Regiment here, wants to come home. He has written Dr. Burt a letter ask ing him to sign and get Judge Fort and Solicitor Hudson to sign a letter asking for his pardon. Tho letter will hardly bo written. 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. for Infants and Children.
