“Something better,” iu my judge
ment, for the farmers of litis country
.than the Alliance,jvith its national,
state, county and sub-organizations, all
with their salaried officers, exacting
tribute from their members iu the mat
ter of initiation fees, regular stated
dues, exchange funds, etc., with which
the expense of their national, supreme
council must be paid to meet and frame
a new political platform, and commit
the whole membership to it, would be
to simply form an independent agricul
tural club in every agricultural com
munitv in the land. Each of these
clubs should be a supreme council unto
itself; a majority vote of its members
sltouid be the highest authority to which
it is amenable. It’s only officers should
be a chairman and a secretary, whose
only salary should be the good of the
body and the honor conferred by it.
The object of these clubs should be
to advance the interests of their mem
bers, their community and their ©ecu
pation in general, and in this work they
should ask the sympathy, co-operation
and counsel, if need be, of all good
citizens of every occupation, political
aud religious faith, instead of autago
nizitig the interests of other occipa
tions and threatening to usurp their
places and monopolize their business as
the Alliance has done.
These clubs should only act as neigh
bors to eacb other, and not as minor
children of one family under controll
of a paternal head, as the Alliance has
done. If at any time any number of
these clubs should agree by a majority
vote to uuite for a specific purpose it
should be with the understanding that
when the object of the union is acc m
plished the uuion is dissolved. Iu this
kind of au organized effort I think the
farmers could advance their interests
and better their condition considerably.
Then all right thinking people could
but say, God speed the farmers. By
this plan of organization, aud no other*
coaid they avoid the domination of the
large I’s over the small You’s and the
political entanglements that have cursed

Again “Something belter” than the
sub treasury, free coinage, protective
tariff reform for all classes of people
of all sections of this country would
be for our national congress to give us
free internal and import trade, which
would greatly reduce government ex
penses by dispensing with the two
armies of revenue and custom house
officers. Then to. raise money to de
fray the governmeut expenses thus
reduced they should give us a land tax,
uot a prohibitory nor protective tax
nor yet a tax on the homes of the peo,
pie, after the Henry George idea, but
ari ad valorem tax for revenue ouly on
all lands held for any purpose either
by individuals, companies or corpoia
lious iu the country above the United
States homestead ol ICO acres, and
above five acres iu incorporated towns
and one acre in the cities. As the land
could not be moonshiued on the
branches nor smuggled through the
porls no great army would be needed
to collect this tax, and it would bear
lighter on those most effected by it
than the revenue and tariff tax they
pay under the present system.
This would settle the alien owner
ship question by making the alien who
owns the lands pay the taxes—or iu
other words, if he dances to our music
make him tielp pay the fiddler. A meas
ure of this kind would tend toward small
er and better improved farms, and a
general advance iu prices of land and
products ; also to a gradual increase in
the number of home owners, and a cor
responding decrease of the numbers of
homeless people and land monopolists,
who form the two most dangerous con
flirting classes with which anv g -vern
rnent has to deal. This would be a
measure of relief for the farmers and
labores iu all the varied industries iu
all sections of the country ; and I am
committed and devoted to it. But if
Cleveland docs uot recommend it, nor
Congress enact it into law, lam not
soing to fly off to Tom Watsoo with
ray grievance for redress.

Au exchauge truthfully says that
one of the easiest ways to make people
go abroad to trade is the neglect of the
home merchant to advertise what he
has to sell. Business men who claim
that advertising doesn’t pay have no
right to complain if their neighbors,
attracted by the liberal advertisements
of others, go elsewhere to do their
trading.

Over nine hundred bales of cotton
in the McDonough Warehose at -one
time, seems to strongly indicate that
farmers and buyers are both holding
some cotton. We have been infotmed
that a considerable amount of this still
belongs to the growers, and hope that
it is true, for it is a good indication of
prosperity when farmers are able to
hold their cotton.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
A Remarkable School.
One of the most noted schools in the
state is Gordon Institute at Barnesville,
Ga. The history of the school is re
markable. Twenty five years ago, it
began its career as an ordinary acade
my ; hut it has reached out from time
to time and added new and attractive
features, so ilt at now it is almost a
minin'ure university iu the number and
: perfection of its departments. Besides
the ordinary literature features, it has
departments of Military IScieuce, Phys
ical Culture, Vocal aud Instrumental
Music, Art, Mechanical Drawing,
Book keeping and Telegraphy.
The ambition of the authorities of
this institution has always been to make
their work thorough; anil that they
have measurably succeeded is evidenced
by the quality of men uml women they
have sene out into the world. It is
believed that no graduate of Gordon
Institute has failed to sustain himself
whero intellect and moral courage wore
the qualities requisite for success.
The most peculiar feature about the
school is that, without at.y aid from
the state, the school is practically free
to all the children of the state. Any
student can get a thorough education iu
English, Military Science or Physical
Culture, and iu Mechanical Diuwing
for the mere pittance of sl2 per an
num while hoard cau be hat) at from
ten to twelve dollars per month.
The teachers of the institution tire
all graduates, holding diplomas from
the very bust of the higher college! iu
the country ; and tbe popularity of the
school is attested by its enrollment of
near four hundred pupils during the
current session, making it the largest
school of its grade iu the state. It
has students from one fifth of the
counties ot the state and from several
adjacent stages.
Messrs. Harris L'armicl ael, Emmet 1
McKibbett, J. C. Harris, Allen Turner

Under the above beading the Mon
roe Advertiser reasons thus with busi
ness men :
“As the eud of the business season
approaches, creditors are more inclined
to press collections. This is in accord
with business rules aud with those
methods that look to self interest. And
in this connection there crops out ono
peculiar fact, which fact is that the
more contracted are the means of pay
ing debts, the more persistent und
pressing aro the creditors to collect
their claims. Right along on this line
are danger snags.
It not infrequently happens that
debtors are delinquent because of utter
inability to bo otherwise; they are
willing to pay their debts and would
pay them, but cannot except by giving
up all they have in the way of means,
and. then by place themselves and their
dependents out, as it were, upon the
commons of the world. To drive a debtor
to such extreme is to take from him
hope for the future, and thereby ren
der him a common vassal.
Thus far this season the crop on
this line in this section has not been
copious, and it is a good omen, when
we remember that the country is upon
the ragged edgo of a past panic the ef
fects of which still linger with us.
Hut what we sot out to suggest is,
that as the year’s transactions between
debtor and creditor approach a focus
the creditor class, where possible, hear
with the debtor class, and not put upon
them the clutches of the law, and set
them adrift without a thread upon
which to hang a hope, in other words,
when the mer.ns for paying debts are
contracted, as now, bearing with delin
quents may be productive of good
fruits, aud may hasten the coming of
more prosperous days.”

Notice.
There are two very important facta
that must be brought to the attention
of the public in order that there may
ariae no confusion with reference to
the selection of lots iu the Cemetery
and to avoid trouble to the Cemetery
Society.
Ist. -All parties that desire to select a
square iu the cemetery must call on
Mrs. Piper who has this matter in
charge and she will always take
pleasure in going with parties desir
ing lots and assist in making s<lec
tious. This must lie done.
2nd. To parties who have already se
lected lots it is important for you
when you ate cleaning off your
squares to remove all the rubbish en
tirely out of the grounds and not
leave it piled up either on your lot
or on the walks or drives. This is
necessary to the cleanliness and neat
appearence of the cemetery and all
parties are hereby notified to remove
all rubbish from the ground.
