Why Waste Your Time In Talk?
The Alliance Democracy is unques
tionably in the saddle, and yet there
are scores of good Alliancemen who
are afraid that Gen. Gordon will go
to the United States Senate over the
wishes of the Alliance. Why is it
necessary for the Alliance to indulge
in idle fears when they hold the legis
lature by an overwhelming majority ?
Up to date there have been 110 nomi
nations for the legislature, out of this
nnmlier 91 are Alliancemen, and it is
safe to predict that the Alliance will
hold its own in the same rattio until all
of the counties have made their nomi
nations. The Senate stands very near
ly as strong for the Alliance as the
house, there having been 34 nomina
tions, 23 of whom are Alliancemen.
With this formidable array of Alli
ancemen to confront him, it would
seem that Gen. Gordon would have to
clean up.his anti-Alliance record and
explain to the satisfaction of the farm
ers why he is against the sub-treasury
hill. And while he is undertaking to
make clear a besmirched iccord they
would like to know how much stock he
owns in the Okefetiokee land grab ; and
how it is he could mortgage a $5,000
plantation in Wortli couuty to Inman
& Co. for SOO,OOO. Inman & Co. are
the same parlies who bought the Geor
gia State bonds and netted the precise
sum of $60,000 on this purchase. The
law says that these bonds shall be sold
to the highest bidder, at the treasurer’s
oirice in Atlanta, but it seems that
Gen. Gordon hied himself to New
York and sold them to Inman & Co.
at a private sale. Was it Gen. Gor
don's duty to take this matter in his
own hands ? If the sale had been
properly made it seems that Georgia
would have made $60,000 instead of
Inman & Co. pocketing that amount.
It is bad policy for people to indulge
in ytolitical luxuries. Gen. Gordon is
a luxury entirely too rich for the blood
of the average tax payer, lie has de
clared that he could not live on $6,000
a year, a senator’s salary, and in conse
ijuence he resigned and took a $26,000
attorneyship for a railroad, lie says
now he is very poor and wants to be
returned to the senate. Why, it would
be a hardship on the good man to send
him there, he can not live on the sal
ary.
Let the people send farmer Livings
ton who has never received a big sal
ary and could live on it bhould they
send him. If they should send farm
er Livingston they would have an ad
vocate in the senate who would look
after the interest of the common peo
ple and not exclusively after the inter
est of the plutocrats.
Beware of Ointments for Catarrh
That Contain Mercury.
As mercury will surely destroy the
sense of smell and completely derange
the whole system when entering it
through the mucuous surfaces. !Such
articles should never be used except
on prescriptions from reputable physi
cians, as the damage they will do is
ten fold to the good you can possibly
derive from them. Hall’s Catarrh
Cure manufactured by F. J. Cheney &

and is taaen internally, and acts direct

the corrupt and the illiterate vote is
fatal to the Republican party and the

TRUITT’S FARM.
The Forty - Itale- to - the - Mule Man
Written Up lu Style.
Mr. Claude N. Bennett, of the At
lanta Journal, was among the visitors
to the late agricultural convention, and
while there went out to the famous
George VV. Truitt farm. After de
scribing the buildings, orchards and
surroundings of the farm at length, he
says of the farm proper:
Mr. Truitt says he is going to make
100 bales of cotton on 80 acres worked
by two mules. And these 80 acres
were the principal attraction to the
convention delegates, and not one of
them denied the fairness of Mr. Tru
itt's estimate.
The land is gray, with clay subsoil.
Several years ago it was painfully poor.
It has been built up by high fertiliza
tion and good working. List year it
was planted in oats. It was well
broken with a cutaway harrow’ in De
cember, It was broken twice in Jan
uary with a harrow, the second plow
ing being squarely across the first.
Then the rows were laid off, four and a
half feet wide, with a scooter, followed
by a Johnson wing. On 40 acres 50
bushels of cotton seed were broadcast
to the acre, and 500 pounds of Scott’s
best acid put in the drill. On the
other 40 acres, 500 pounds of Gossip
ium to the acre wore put in the drill
and list furrows. The cotton is thirty
inches apart in the di ill. Most of it
was chopped out by running a thir,.y
inch scrape directly across the rows.
This gives the rows a beautiful regu
larity and enables them to he plowed
in two diametrical-opposite directions.
(Think about this, its a mighty good
scheme.) The cottou was topped
about the 10th of July. It was plowed
five times and hoed twice.
Mr. Truitt uses level culture. lie
breaks the laud deep, cultivates flat and
very shallow. Ills lands are all ter
raced and a home made system of un
derground drainage—compounded out
of a ditch, some logs and a plentiful
of mother earth—is frequently used.
By these precautions, cotton is now
growing as high as your head where, a
few years ago, gtilleys would hide all
the animals in Grant park.
Mr, Truitt says this laud is one hun
dred per cent better than it was six
years ago, The cotton is called Tru
itt's I’iemium .Prolific. The seed has
been selected by sending careful hands
over the fields to pick out, the finest
bolls. This plan has been carried out
so persistently that now a small boiled
stalk cannot he found. Forty averago
bolls of this cotton will make a pound.
More than three hundred 1 Kills were
counted on one stalk. We found bolls
which measured 74 inches round one
way and !> inches around the other—
looking very much like a green turkey
egg. There were some single stalks
seven feet tall, niue feet in diameter,
shading 66 square feet of ground. This
cotton looker! like a swamp, and at a
distance appeared too thick for en
trance. A abort man would get lost in
it; a timid man would not venture in it
at all; au incredulous man would never
believe it was there unless lie saw it; a
wise man, if ho was a farmer, would go
to work and see if he couldn’t grow
cotton just like it.
We went over the land where, a few
years ago, Mr. Truitt gathered Ilf teen
bales from five acres, and when wo
reached the one acre on which he raised
2.200 pounds of lint, we decided that
the ground was holy, and built thereon
a monument of rocks to the best yield
of cottou that the world has seen. The
cotton on this laud the present season
had to be planted over iu May, there
fore it will hardly make over two and
a half bales to the acre.
The two mules which cultivated
these eighty acres are beautiful dark
bay's ; one weighing 060 pounds, and
the other weighiug 062 pounds.
Can’t George Truitt raise anything
but cotton, do you ask? 1 have already
said that he had corn enough to last
until Christmss. Last year with this
1,002 pounds of mule flesh he made:
65 bale* of cotton.
760 bushels of corn.
1,200 bushels of oats.
Quantities of other produce, the crop
yielding him $1,250 above all expenses.
This year he has ten acres of corn
; which will make him 500 bushels.
The land was kept in fine condition
till May 15th. by a cutaway harrow
pulled by oxen. Then the corn was
planted. It is strong bottom land. It
has taken these two mules less than
four days to give it all the plowing
necessary. The corn is of the red cob
variety.
Mr. T mitt lias twelve big guinea
I hogs, which have been raised on butter
milk, aud will net him above 2,000
pounds of meat.
On his two-mule farm he employs
five hands and pays them $lO a month
each As good a farmer a< he is can
not put up with a sorry hand.
He has three tenants who will make
altogether fifty hales of cottou aud
plenty of corn. They used ten tons of
guano.
George W. Truitt started to farming
even with the world. He has dug
shout above the necessities of j
a living out of the ground and be i
stands to-day as au example to his
county and his state worthy of the
closest imitation.

Gov. Gordon Repudiates the Suit.
Treasury Plank.
Before the close of the State Alli
ance meeting m Atlanta Wednesday
Gov. Gordon was invited to address
the members. He did so. and among
other things said:
‘ While I am in the fullest sympathy
with the great object in view, I wish
to say in all candor that I cannot en
dorse the specific sub-treasury bill, be
-1 cause Ido not believe even if it could
be passed that it would bring the relief
you seek. The endorsement of specif
ic bills is what yon need. You need
j first to win the victory for reform by
general agitation on all lines, and then
j when the general battle is won let all
i the combined wisdom of the friends of
the cause be called into requisition for
perfecting the best measure for the
purpose. For all these great princi
ples, I shall continue to do battle in
the future as in the past; but I should
be untrue to you if I did not tell yon,
frankly, that if you insist on denounc
ing every man as your enemy who will
not endorse a specific bill, drive from
your ranks many earnest friends and
eren your brethren of Missouri who
refuse to endorse it, you cannot afford
to pin your destinies to any one pro
gramme or cast all your future ip any
oue specific boat, which may- lie engulf
ed aud lost. I did not ask you or youi
representatives to endorse a plan for
increasing the currency which I might I
think withonta Haw, because you might
find that F was mistaken. I bis ques
tion of finance ns the most ohtsruse and j
difficult of of the piublcm* of human
government, and all you need and all
you ought to ask is that your represen
tatives shall battle for the great priori- !
pie and secure it by the best possible
measure the combined wisdom of all
can construct. Are you going to se
cure your great reforms, by saying to
the friends of ihose reforms, we do not
want your help unless you agree with
the exact programme we have laid
down ? Are you going to recruit a
great army from all-over this continent |
by requiring that every soldier in your
ranks glial 1 measure exactly six feet
two inches by the vard siick and weigh
precisely pounds, no more and no
iess ? I* that generalship ?”
These declaraiions caused many pre
dictions as to the result they would
have upon the Governor’s candidacy

The Wage Farriers’ Wrongs.
f.
Here, then, is the wage earners’ in
dictment of the wages system :
Every man has a right, because he
has a duty, to earn his daily bread by
the sweat of his brow. The wage sys
tem denies this right to myriads of
willing workers. In America, the
workingman’s Eldorado, nearly 1,000,-
000 willing workers were thrown out
of employment in 1885. “Enforced
idleness is the Englishman's hell.”
That system cannot lie right which
turns 1,000,000 of willing workers in
rich America into this hell and locks
the door against them. Every man
has a right to the product of his own
industry ; under the wage system the
greater part of the products of industry
goes into the hands of the few tool
owners. The wealth of this country
lias increased during the last quarter
century from fourteen billion to forty
four billion. A careful statistician es
timates that the wages of 5,500,000
unskilled laborers were in 1884 less
than S2OO a year, while the average
wages of workmen engaged in manu
factures, including skilled laborers,
was hut $346 a year. That system
cannot be right which gives the profits
of industry to the few and compels the
many to live always praying, Gije us
this day our daily bread. Rev. Dr.
Lyman Abbott in Forum.
We predict for Cheatham’s Taste
less Chill Touic an unprecedented suc
cess. The well known reputation of
its manufactures is, of itself, an ample
guarantee of its superior merits. Ini.
Tiie Republicans are mad because
they could not pass the force bill at
this session, and, in consequence, ltave
determined to have some fun among
themselves by having a few fisticuffs,
and using some plantion manners to
wards each other. Boss Reed doubt
less enjoys the change of programme
as he nearly worn himself out hull
dozing Democrats.
A few very pointed reasons why
Cheatham's Tasteless Chill Tonic will
be a great success. It is absolutely
free lrom all duletcrious ingredients;
as pleasant to the taste as honey : an
absolute and never-failing cure for all
malarious complaints. Guaianteed to
cure. What more could you ask ? lm.
Arkansas has beeu pretty badly
tieated by the Republicans in the past,
but at the recent state elections she
gave a democratic majority of 30,000,
showing that she does not approve of
tiie Republican way of doing business.
She will return Breckenridge to Con
gress by a majority, too, that will even
make thievish Mr. Reed blush when
he undertakes to unseat him next ses
sion.
Summer cometh on apace, and soon
will the granger be engaged in his an
nual struggle with chills and fever.
Take time by the forelock and lav in a
supply of Cheatham’s Tasteless Chill
Tonic that your days in the land may
lie many. 1 m.
The Confederate soldiers who fell
before Jonesboro, and whe are buried
there, will have marble head stoues.
This is a just recognition of the last
resting place of our noble dead. We
are pleased to know that our people
are determined to remember the heroes
who fell in the ‘ lost cause.”
It is too much to have to scratch
for a living aud for relief also. Hunt’s
Cure will not help you iu the former
case, but will sure cure the Itch or it
costs you nothing. lm.

At a legular uieet'iig on the 2, inst.
the following resolutions were adopted:
Whereas, the intention of Fanners’
Alliance, in part, is to promote abetter
system of government, county, state
and national, and to do so it becomes
our duty to try to fijl the various offi
ces with good, true and competent men;
and,
Whereas, it has become a custom for
some candidates and their friends to
use money, whiskey and other fraudu
lent meaus to influence votes in their
behalf, which is ungentlemanly and
against the principles of honesty and
morality, and the principles of democ
racy laid down by our forefathers; and
alse against the principles of our or
der ; and which has, as experience lias
shown, filled various offices with unreli
able men—one of the great causes of
our vexing troubles, which are now
upon us; therefoie,
Resolved, That we, the members of
Bersheba F. A., No. 177, do hereby
pledge ourselves not to support any
raau or set of men who, by themselves
or through their friends, use money,
liquor or anything of value to intliience

Catarrh
May affect any portion of the body whoro the
mucous membrane is found. But catarrh of
the head is by far the most common, and tho
most liable to bo neglected. A cannot be
cured by local applications. Being a consti

Ringing a constitutional remedy like
Nnisoe Hood's Sarsaparilla, which,

eradicates the impurity which causes and pro

is that all persons are interested in who
should I>e their sheriff and jailor; and a
l»rge liumbc of people who are taxed to
support our gov ernment, and w ho are amena
ble to the laws thereof are not permitted to
vote in the primary, besides 1 can see no
necessity in this country for a primary, so
tai as it relates to county politics.
Having tilled this office for several years
in the past. (I hope to the satisfaction of the
people.) 1 earnest’y solicit the support ot
all the legal voters.
If elected will select a deputy satisfactory
