lie Deserted His Post.
If there was ever a time that the
south needed her ablest and best men
in Congress it is now. Everyone
knows the revolutionary methods adop
ted by the republican majority. The
unseating of democraiic candidates ,is
of almost daily occun ence. '1 he Mc-
Kinley tariff bill, the most iniquitous
measure ever forced upon a people,
has been passed in the last few days.
Yet, in the’face of these facts our cou
congressman, Judge Stewart, deserted
post aad came home and entered his
the field as a candidate for re election.
lie came, ostensibly, to bring
a sick son, (?) but the real
cause of his desertion was in answer
to a telegram telegram, to gome and
manipulate the Spalding County Far
mer’s Alliance in his interest, by way
of procuring their endorsement, flow
well he succeeded will be shown by the
manner in which it was done by reffer
ence to Hon. B. N. Miller’s letter.
( Office of The Faumkk’s Ai.i.i
--| ance of Spalding Countv.
Charles M. Speer, Sec., Dear Sir
and Bro.: Received your comnicnica
tion as to appointing a committee to
conforetc. Had an understanding to
day in the County Alliance, when W.
K. 11. Searcy, from fear of interrupting
.John D. Stewart, utterly refused to
allow a committee to he appointed
to confer with you. Go ahead and
appoint your committees and select a
competent Allianceman to represent
sth Congressional District and the
ranks of the Farmer’s Alliance of this
county will be with you. YVe will, at
least, try to illustrate Alliat.ee princi
ples. Yours Fraternally,
B. .N Miller, Sec. S. C. A.
The people of Henry couuty want to
send a man to congress who will not
ohaudou his post in the midst of direst
pat ty peril to come home to look after
his own personal interests, as Judge
Stewart has done. He came home to
bring a sick boy (?) But notwithstand
ing he published a notice in the daily
papers that he would return at once to
Washington, he made appointments all
over the district to speak to the Alli
ance people to forestall their action on
the Henry County Alliance resolutions.
For the benefit of those who, do not
understand the Judge’s anxiety we give
the icsolutions below which sets forth
in uumistukablc terms that they do not
want a man to represent them who is
more friendly to corporations, trusts
and combines than he is to the people
who toil like galley slaves chained to
their oars.
Our present congressman is all
things to all men, and his chief aim is
to catch their votes. He wants to re
turn to congress ; yes, mighty bad. But
we think the abandonment of his post
will be remembered while he slabbers
over his friends (?) Fine type of man
hood he ;an elected member of con
gress, he deserts his post under the
most distressing circumstmces ; demo
cratic congressman turned out of con
gress, by the republicans, in his ab
seuce ; and the McKeuley tariff bill
passed while he cojoles his constituents
a thousand miles from his duty; a pre
tended frieud to the farmer, he helps
the republicans to pass tile McKinley
bill, which rolls them right and left; a
miuister of the gospel, he deceives
on the smallest occasiou. Did he not
publish to the world he would return
to Washington, at once after bringing
his sick (?) boy home, and at the same
time had appointments to speak in most
of the counties in the district ?
The Judge is very cunning as well
as being a deceiver. He thought
he could deceive the good people of
Henry county bv publishing that he
would return to Washington, but they
are not so silly ; they know that he did
not return, ajul that he was trying to
defeat their resolutions, and their wish
es.
'“Whereas, it is evident that if the
producing classes Ait this country hope
to extricate themselves from the de
pression and poverty now entailed up
on them on account of national legisla
tion which discriminates against them
to such au extent that any effort on
their part to better their condition is
largely checkedaud obstructed ; i tiere
fore be it resolved,
Ist, That it is meet and proper that
the Alliancemeu of the 5 lb, Cougrcs
sional district should confer with each
other so as to combine theit influence
at the primaries, so as to get some one
to properly represent us, who shall
staud pledged to support and vote for
such measures as we deem of prime
necessity.
2nd, That the chair appoint a com
mittee of thiee composed of our Couu
ty Secretary, Charles M. Speer, AV.
\V. DsSey and W, W. Amis to confer
with similar committees from other
counties composing the oth Congres
sional district, and that our County
Secretary give the action of this Alli
ance U) those of all other couuties, com-
prising the sth. Congressional District,
and ask their co operation at a time and
place to be fixed by him.”
There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last feu
rears was supposed to be incurable.
Fo- a great many years doctors pro
nounced it a local disease, and prescrib
ed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure* with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable, Science has
proyen catarrh to be a constitutional
disease, and therefore requires consti
tutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney
&Co , Toledo, Ohio, is the only con
stitutional cure on the market. It is
taken internally in doses from 10 drops
to a tcaspoonful. It acts directly up
on the blood and mucuous surfaces of
the system. They offer one hundred
dollars for any case it fails to cure.
Send for circulars and testimonials.

FROM OUR CORRESPONDENTS
[We are in nowise responsible for the
views expressed by our Correspondents.
We c.i iot i-.ake any at’o* -ice (orirreg
ularityof mails or failing to post let.ers af
ter they are written. To obviate this diffi
culty, we would jjnggesf, that correspon
dents at a distance write Saturday and
m.iil their communications as soon there
after as possible. If a letter comes in on
lime and we fail to publish, on account ol
want of space, it will be published the fol
lowing wick. Let every correspondent give
us the news in as condensed form as possi
ble, otherwise it will be necessary to dim -
nate superfluities. All communications ar
riving after Wednesday will be too lute lor
publication.
Sliwly Grove.
Wonder wlto will be the first to an
nounce that lie is a patriotic office seek
er. We feel sure that the man who
gets in his reaper first will garner the
harvest, and the laggard who delays is
liable to be called Dennis. He will
fall from the top of public favor to
the bottom of disappointment with a
“sicken thud.”
Mr. Jim Fields cut his wheat first,
and it is an inclement day when he
gets left.
If you want to go to the State Sen
ate don’t stand back and hold your
jaw. If you fool around much longer
and do not annonnee we have a mighty,
good, popular man, well known to the
people, who says he will run if nobxlv
else wants the nice plum. Now this
citizen is an Allianceman and one wlto
has made the woods ring. Get on
beard of the Alliance train before she
stalls, or if you don’t we will make no
stops; we are going to “git that
Anmimtad !”

Many people habitually emiure a
feeling of lassitude, because they think
they have to. If they would take Dr
J. H. McLean’s Sarsaparilla this feel
ing of weariness would give place to
vigor and vitality. 1.
Fair view.
Let me say .something about candi
dates, as these dear creatures seem just
now to be the absorbing topic.
In the first place what do we farm
ers want with legislators, State Sena
tors, Congressmen, United States Sen
ators and Governors ? What do we
want with justice courts, county courts,
superior courts, supreme courts ? YV’lio
slroulders the load and pays the ex pen
cee of these gnyid institutions? YY'here
does the money come from ? Out of
the farmers, of course. Yet you hear
those clod headed lawyers say, “a far
mer has not got sense enough to make
laws, why not send we smart folks who
know how to do it.”
We have sent you (here,fellows, and
now we are suffering for it. You go
to the big city and tank lip on good
liipior, tine cigars and have pretty la
dies to smile upon you, and bless the
Lord half of the time you are drunk as
lords and could not liud the capitol of
your wives and children were in it
burning up. Now, as for lawyers and
preachers, we want them to stand back
and give the fanners a chance to eat
good things, drink good tilings and
wear store bought clothes aud a stove
pipe hat.
Some correspondent says Judge
Turner does not get half enough salary.
There are 2,100 men in the county
who would take it at the figure he now
gets and think themselves lucky. The
fact is we do not need the couit, neith
er do we need a Superior court. The
money paid Judge Turner will board
all of the prisoners lodged in jail, and
pay part of the courts expenses. We
ask again where does the money come
from ? Why, of course, it conies out
of we poor devils who hold the plow
handles aud drive the mule.
We have two men for tax collecting
when one could and ought to do it.
We pour the money into such holes,
and that’s the last of it until they waut
more.
If ah officer cau't live on on SSOO or
SOOO he ought to die. Where does the
money come from from ? The farmer
puts it up of course. How can the
farmer stand everything aud go to mill?
as Plunkett said.
It has got so a preacher can’t preach
unless you pay him SOOO or SBOO a
year. Where does the boodle come
from ? You know.
Rev. S. 11. t»ri(liu is wise ami tail ;

a good man for• the legislature they
can do no better than take Dr. W. H.

He is practical, sensible, firm and
made out of the right kind of timber.
No man lias stoo l more firmly by the
democratic party; no man lias stood by
the farming interests of the country

The administration of (.’apt. Pope, as

to sav tlie snake died after sampling
the Sheriff’s meat. Well, so far as
the coon going off on a lark is concern

First Observatories.
The first recorded observatory was
on the top of the Temple of Bolus; the
tomb of Osyiimnilius. in Egypt, was
another. It contained a golden astro
nomical circle 200 feet in diameter.
Another ut Benares, India, is supposed
to lie at least us ancient as either of
the two others. The first in Europe
was erected at Casscd, in 15(51; that of
Tycho Brahe, at Uraninburg. was
built in 157(5. The Paris observatory
dates from 1(5(57. and that of Green
wich from 1(575. The Nuremberg ob
servatory was erected in 1(578, and that
of Berlin in 1711. The famous Bologna
tower was built three years later, that
at Pisa following next, in 1730. Stock
holm, Utroclil, Copenhagen and Lis
bon observatories were erected in 1740,
1690, 1656 and 1728, respectively.—St.
Louis Republic.
How to Got to Sloop.
One married man describes his mo
dusoperandi which is sure to dispel the
wakeful nixies; it consists in laying
his head on a hop pillow and allowing
his wife to tell him all the things she
wants him to buy when he goes down
town; and another heartless monster
declares that there is no need of a hop
pillow if one just sets his wife to talk
ing about her relatives. The hypnotic
state is very speedily produced, even
before half finished enumerat
ing the virtues of her mother.—New
York Sun.
An Enormous Chain.
The big chain that was used in rais
ing the steamer Armstrong was made
by the British government for the pur
pose of blockading the harbor in the
Crimean war. It was sent out to Que
bec by the British admiralty, many
years ago, to bo sold for what it would
bring. Some idea of -its size and
strength may be conveyed by the fact
that each link of this great chain
weighs 68 pounds, and is supposed to
have a breakage capacity of 125 tons.
