At the Shrine of Fashion!
Some people scoff at Fash
ion ; others are slavish in their
obedience to her mandates,
both go to extremes. There
was a philosopher who l^ved
in a tub, and lie was proud of
his residence. He may have
liecn right, but it is true all the
same, that personal appearance
counts for a good deal, and it’s
just as well to look well if you
can. There never is anything
the matter with the personal
appearance of the man who
makes his selections from my
stock of Men’s Fine Furnish
ings. It is a conceded fact
that The Haberdashery stands
at the head of the list oil
Stylish Neckwear, Fine Dress
Shirts, Correct Shapes in
Hats, and everything else
that goes to make up the at
tire of a well-dressed gentle
man. A glance at this stock
will bring to your notice more
chances for wise, judicious and
economical purchases than I
can begin to enumerate, and
you arc hereby extended a per
sonal and pressing invitation
to call.
Yours to command,

The unoiicued basket* were' \.o*t
probably for tho expected e^ktlopent of
the people's party; but thoitti failed to
put in an apjtearance, having *>ctn’de
tained at the creek by llivitis and hit
brother leaders, who considered It
safe for their deluded followera to rat
wholesome democratic food, and decid
edly iintvlse to allow democratic light
through a calcium “Ilerner" turncil on
them.
Chairman J. II. L'bency, mounting the
stand at ten o’clock, called the crowd to
order in a few well chosen <entence* and
Introduced Mr. I.. O. NUes, from Mar-
ahallvllle.
Mr. Niles :« a successful farmer and
an alllanceman, and he talked for an
hour straight from the shoulder, giving
lilt reasons why he could not be any
thing but a democrat, and furthermore
why the only hope of the southern white
in the democratic party. Hit
speech made a strong impression upon
farmer* and alliancemen present.
Col. E. P. Hinton, of Amerleus, waa
the next speaker. He was Introduced
by Col. J. It. Williams, of KUavllle, in
bis usual happy style.
Col. Hinton, In an hour's forcible
speech, devoted his effort* largely to the
unveiling of the Iniquity as well a* the
folly of the third party movement He
successfully showed what an Inconsis
tent and despicable character Weaver,
the nominee of the people’s party, is and
baa been from bis earliest entrance Into
political life, quoting effectively bis de
nunciatory words against tho south In
whatever political camp be happened to
be at.tbetlme^of speaking. Col. Hinton's
peroration on “dluater” was exceeding
ly apt and was as forcible a way of show
ing of wbat division In the tanka of tha
Anglo-Saxon race at the tooth would
result In as could possibly bo brought to
bear on the subject.
Upon Colonel Hinton concluding the
crowd was invited to dinner and It waa
a dinner indeed. Everything to tempt a
man's palate was on band In profusion
after an hour spent In discussing the
choice viands set before them .he crowd
was Invited buck to tho stand to hear
Col. It. L. Berner, of Forsyth, on the sit
uation. Before Colonel Ilerner had ut-
tared a dozen sentences he hud magnet •
ized his audience, and for two solid
hour* held their closest attention. With
out a speck of acrimony Colonel Berner
everlastingly swept out of existence any
hope of success of any but two great
parties in American politics. He not
only defined in bis own clean cut style
what democracy was, but also what it
was not, aud iu a very happy manner
read a timely lesson, from tho “parable
of the prodigal son,” of tho dangers of
the young being wiser than the fore
fathers on the one side, and on the other,
warned the imdeluded democrat from
evincing any unwillingness for iris prodi
gal brother to return home. Taking
as the main text of hla speech
the explanation of the three great
questions, tariff reform, free silver and
national banking system, It I* safe to
say that Colonel Berner drove home
truths, that few of hi* audience were in
formed on, in a way that the simplest
mind could comprehend. Boys and girls
of fifteen years of age were close and
earnest listeners to his lucid style of ex
plaining what an all Important question
that of tariff reform Is. There can be
no doubt that not only the aubject but
Its importance is much clearer to the
minds of Colonel Berner's audience than
it has ever been before, and The Times-
ItKcoiiDEi: cries all ball to It. I. Berner
for his work of today. This waa bis
first speech in Schley, and long will it be
remembered a* a gallant anl superb
effort, if not indeed an epoch of thought
In the minds of a large number of hla
hearers.
Many calls were made for other speak
era after Colonel Berner, but everybody
seemed more inclined to let the sound
doctrine just enunciated soak, so the
huge crowd amiably and thoughtfully
melted away, and after a little whllo be
gan tearing for home. At 0 o'clock the
Amerleus crowd boarded the can for
home after enjoying a delightful day.

About Mr. David Lamar.
Mr. John T. Argo, passenger agent of
the 8., A. A. M. railway, has been inter
ested In that Accident Insurance matter,
and on amount of aome talk, has taken
pains to investigate. There Isn't a bet-
tf'r or more honest fellow In the country
flan John Algo, and what he says about
the matter wllf be of especial Interest.
He sent in the following card yeater
lay:
To The Times-Kkoihdeii: In refer
ence to an article which appeared in
Tig: Tgies-Kkcoiidrii some days ago
respecting Mr. David I-.im.ir, president
of the International Hallway Employes
Accident Association, of Atlanta, Ga.,
it would seem that an Injustice lias been
done both this gentleman and the com
pany he is connected with. The facts In
the case appear to be about as foltows:
About two week* ago Mr. Lamar vi*
ited Americus on business, and wbile In
the city I induced him to make a de
posit here in order to evidence to the
people of Americus the fact that claims
against the company could be paid out
of money in the bands of local bank*.
Not one dollar of thlsde|M»U came from
the employes of the Sam railroad, but
consisted solely of morry belonging to
the company.
The matter of negotiation* concerning
real estate seems to have been exagger
ated as Mr. Lamar merely looked at and
priced some property. The Inter
national Hallway Employes Accident
Association is a home company, char
tered by special act of the legislature of
Georgia, and Is a distinctively southern
enterprise. It waa organized by and de
signed exclusively for railroad men.
Tbe company doe* an Immense business
all through tbe south, and Is beyond a
doubt absolutely reliable and responsl
ble. While it Is a fact that almost all
the employee of the bam railroad are In
sured In this company, yet the premium*
have not been paid, and the making of
the deposit here was limply a gratuit
ous exhibition of good faith on tbe part
of the insurance company. I aro sure It
I* not the policy of The Timks-Recoe-
der to treat discourteously or unfairly
any one who cornea to our city or pro
poses to take an Interest In Its welfare.
I suppose tbe original article regarding
tbe company and its president was pub
lished under a misapprehension of the
facia. Jxo. T. Aaoo.
The colored alliance of the state of
Georgia has been in sosslon in Amerleus,
and has just adjourned.
The alliance Is composed, It Is claimed,
of 70.000 colored farmer* In the state of
Georgia.
Tbe regular annual session lu-gan in
Americus last Monday.
It waa kept very quiet, tomo how or
other, and nobody seems to know the
fact except those who were present.
Whether there wero many presont seems
to lie a matter of conjecture.
Anyhow at was the slato colored alli
ance that met, and every county in the
(state was represented personally or by
proxy. Mostly by proxy.
E. s. Richardson, superintendent of
Maraballville's colored schools, and one
of the most Intelligent and boated nested
of the colored men In tbe south, Is sup
erintendent of the colored alliance, and
waa In charge here.
It was the regular meeting of this
body, anl bealdcs the election of officer*
little else was done.
Tbe most Important action waa tbe
condemnation of Gilmore for bis casting
of th*eleven vota# of tbe colored) alll.
llance at the St. Louis meeting. Tbe
resolution condemning him declared
that he bad no right to cast tbe votes;
that Ur. Humphreys, of Texas, had no
right to authorize him to do so; and that
Gilmore should return to Chairman Car
ter, of Georgia's colored alliance, the
papers given him; and If he did not,
legal proceeding* would be Instituted.
One of Kolb's main colored supporter*
came over to convert tbe Alliance to tbe
third party. But he didn't and was de
cidedly sat upon.
It is Just a* Hichardaon told Tig:
Tihes-Hki'oigieu. He aald:
“I am a republican, but that ha* noth
ing to do with an alliance. A man can
be a member of any pyrty and be a mem
ber of the colored alllanco. It I* not
necessary that ho be a member of any
party. We don't want to have anything
to do with politics.
“Ono thing, liowover, 1 will sny, and
that Is that thero aro few of u* who lean
toward tho third party. A* for me, If I
leave the republican party, I will vote
with the democrats. I think that la tbe
way most of our members stand.'’
lUcbardson Is an Intelligent fellow and
he talaed well about all political ques
tions. Ho Is decidedly opposed to tbe
third party and gives logical reason* for
so being, lie says the colored alliance
la an alliance of farmers, and not a itolit-
Ictl party.
