Gr'fkin, Ga., Juty C.— Eire was discjvered this morning about 1 o’clock in the ell of the Georgia hotel. The 0 build'ng was old, and being dry burned like tinder, so rapidly in fact that be fore the firemen reached the scene the Haines were entirely beyond all control. Realizing this their attention was given to the adjoining buildings, hut with lit tie effect until three other buildings were burned in addition to the old ho tel. The buildings weie occupied by the Osborn & Walcott Manufacturing Com pany for seating and storing chairs. The buildings were all full, there being 30,000 chairs stored in the house for shipment. The loss iu etiairs will amount to .tin, ooo, in addition to the building which was practically value less. There was no insurance on either the stock or building, hence the loss is total. The (ire was of incendiary origin ev idently as the police say they were called a considerable distance from their heats by the loud anil long sounding of a police gong and on their return found the building iu flames. 'Hie chair factory employed over a hundred hands who are today out ol employment, but from Mr. W R, Wal cott The Consiittr.‘T«n learns fha# rtifcv 4 will be in good shape in a few days, filling orders as though no fire had oc curred. This fire was the first fair test our water works have been put to, and, with the exception of a few minutes delay in starting, worked admirably, which was fortunate for the property owners in the vicinity. The tonight arrested a negro boy, who gave his name as Will Clark, on suspicion of being the party who set fire to the chair factory this morning. Clark gives various | laces where he says he was at the time of the fire. Of ficer Cunningham passed the ne a ro ou ly a short time before the fire was dis covi red in the vicinity of the building He stated to the ollicer that he w'as waiting for a woman. This the officers do not believe, and hope to get evidence from tiie party he claims to have been waiting for. A New Accident Insurance Company in tiie South. A recent trip of Mr. Lockwood, the President of the Provident Fund Soci ety of New York, through the South convinced him of the impor tance of establishing for his com pany a southern department or branch with principle office at Atlanta, for winch arrangements have been made. This southern department will comprise the states of Georgia, North and South Carolina, Virginia Tennes see, Alabama and Florida. All busi ness in tiiese states will be conducted through the Atlanta office, which will be fully equipped and under able management. The Provident Fund Accident Society has an excellent reputation ; has paid many thousands of dollars to its members in indemnity, and is a company that ought to make a steady progress in the great new south. The company has branch offices es tablished at Denver, St. Paul. Cleve land, Philadelphia, Washington and Cincinnati, and is making liberal con- tracts with ab)e men that pan secure j business. The principal office of the society is at 20 Broadway, New York city.—Atlanta Constitutien, dune 9, 1891. 1 lie Southern Department is under the management of M.

SINSHIMS. Sunshine gilds the risen eart'i, Its glorv tills the skies ; It lightens even oeean caves Where coral islands rise. It paints the domes of cloud.land In amber, gold and blue, And w ith magic touch throws open Enchanted worlds to view. There’s sunshine in the rainbow's Wondorous arch of light; Sunshine in the rose’s heart, And in the mountain height; It throws its golden lanees Across the tall young trees. Where the minstrel-wind low music A limit them softly weaves. It sparkles in tlie landscape, And on mosses eool and green; Rv purling brooks whose ripples Leap lightly in the sheen; And song birds make their toilets “ Helicalli its chandeliers, And trills a marlin chorus Most sweet to listening ears. Sunshine on the ea th all vernal, Sunshine in the soft, liLue sky, Sunshine 011 the gleaming river Where south winds murmur by And youths and maidens joyous Roam Idrcst green and old, And shout, “O, Sunshine, welcome ! And crow us with your gold," It trembles on the jasmine Just liv the cottage door, The “liaby” tries to grasp it— The sunshine on the tioor. Bet no, it w ill not linger Within her dimpled hand, Though lying there so brightly, A broad and golden band. ************ Throw wide the doors and windows Let in the heavenly guest, That as a benediction Comes but to make us blest, And typify the sunshine Of file we. would impart— Have sunshine in tlie household, Hiki! sunshine in Dio h-ui*. llovv to Decline a Treat. The follow ing conversation was heard between two collegians who was dis cussing a class dinner: “Of course,” said one (with a conse quential touch of self-complaceuoy and patronage which only length of days can cure),”if a fellow hasn't wit enough to stop, he,d better he careful at first- Some heads are built, weak you know.” “Careful in what?” interrupted I, and both laughed. “Why, drinking of course,” said the first speaker. “A fellow has to take the seasoning sooner or later. Some can stand it. Some cannot, at least for a while.” Ha was, as 1 have intimated, a fresh man llis friend, a bearded senior, the only son of a rich man, slapped him good-humoredly on the shoulder. “When I was your age, old fellow, my father said to me, if 1 had my life to live over, 1 would never take a glass of wine or smoke a cigar. I answer, it would he foolish not to profit by what such a sensible man says. “I have nev er tasted wine or touched tobacco, and I am glad of it—gladder every day I live. I might have been ‘built’ with a strong head—and then, again I might not. “What do you sav when you are of fered a treat?” “I say, ‘no thank you, I never take it. Generally that settles the matter quietly.” “And if they poke fun at your” “1 let them ‘|K>ke’ and then stand ready to pnt them to bed when their heads give out." There are—for the comfort of moth ers he it said—many a “fellow” strong enough to maintain this stand, sensible enough to see that the risks are not worth taking. It is the fool who med dles with firearms, the coward who car ries a loaded revolver. Condition vs. Theory.

A large city, like Atlanta presents many different-phases of human life Sunshine and shadow are strangely blended. Joy and pain stalk the same highway, and the sombre pall >of mis ery and suffering is often spread within arm’s reach of dancing sunbeaids. The ear catches the sound of childish laugh ter, happy in the exuberance of hope and freedom from care, and before the echo has died away on the restless breeze, comes a wail of sorrow from a houseless waif whom God bus kissed and bade to suffer At the city police station one uight during the recent cold spell were an old man and a little boy, who were picked up while wandering aimlessly about the streets. T hey were fatherland son. The old man’s hair was white as snow, and his body was beut almost double by ebron ic rheumatism, w hich rendered one arm and one leg partially useless. A white bandage around his head concealed a terrible cancer which had despfciled one eye of its sight, and was relentlessly eating an inroad to the brain. The little boy was scarcely more than 7 years of age. 11 is face was hard ami pinched from hunger and ex posure, and his clothes hung in tatters about his frail little body. The couple seemed an impersonation of late winter and early spring. Rut unlike spring there was no suulhiue in the face of the little fellow. He looked as though such a thing as the bright and genial glow of sunlight had never flitted across his rugged pathway. After bliuking his eyes for awhile in the light of tho warm station house fire tie threw himself on the floor at »the feet of his aged companion and sauk to sleep, not dreaming, perhaps, of the hundreds of little boys in Atlanta, who were at that moment being tucked away in downy beds with ruby lips bathed in the warm incense of n mother's kiss. \Y bile till! child sh-pt ths rfW in I" told his story. They were tramps foot balls of fate on a forced march before the goading blasts of adversity, their troubled sleep broken at every resting place by the inexorable command to “move on.’’ It had not always been thus. On a green sward in dear old Kentucky there was once a home which the old man called his own. It was suriaiiiiiled with every thing to make me comforta ble. The old man’s color came and went as lie pictured how the honey suckle and the rose linked their ten drils about the veranda mingling their fragrance with that of the violets ; how mocking birds and nightingales sat in the tall cedar near the front gate and sang love songs to the shimmering moonbeams, and how at eventide he used to sit with his happy family and watch the sun as he crimsoned the wes tern hilltops with the halo of lus dying glory. But a change came over the beautiful scene. The (lowers refuses! to bloom in resjionse to the kiss of spring; the songs of the birds were hushed and the days grew dark and dreary. Every breeze that, swept through ihe hough of the tall cedar seemed to be freighted with disaster. A bank in which the old man bad deposited the earnings of bis toil failed, and with it came a terri ble epidemic that fastened its poisoned fangs on the devoted family circle. First the wife of bis bosom was.strick en down; then, oue by one, the chil dren, till all had closed their eyes in that wakeless sleep, save the little homeless waif that slumbered at his feet. Then it was that a pimple on the old man’s face began to inflame, and rheumatism fastened its ruthless grasp on his jworn out limbs. Closing the doors of bis desolated borne, lie sought relief at the hands of medical skill till the remnant of his broken fortuue was gone. Fate foui d him standing on the threshold of his home when the remorse less hammer of the sheriff transferred it to other bauds. After breathing a prayer over the graves of his loved ones, and casting a last lingering, look on the cheerished surroundings, he and his child turned their backs on the scene, never to re turn save in their dreams. Through shadowy vales, over rugged bills the wandering pilgrims trod their lonely way, going they knew not where, and greeted at every pause with thp *ii pyitah'p vpanqate, “move on.” Thus came they to Atlanta and thus they went away. \\ ith tears running down bis weath er-beaten cheeks, the kin lliearted sta tion house keeper approached them and said, “You must move on. God knows if I had my way, old man, I would not send a dog out this kind of nigh, hut Atlanta has poor of its own who are crying for all the charity it can spare. Here is a pass to Birmingham where you came from, and the train will leave in twenty minutes.” l’he words “move 011” sped like a lightning flash to the unconscious liraiu of the sleeping child, and, throwing his little Iwmds up to ward off an expected blow, he scrambled to his feet and •toml trembling by the side of his aged father. The seutiuels of the black watch who had assembled at the station house to go out on their beats at the hour of 12, stepped forward one by one and dropped a helping coin into the palsied hand of the old man. A few moments later the tramps moved on nevet again to sit in the glow of Atlanta’s warm station house fire. Out into the cheerless night—with pit iless clouds above them and howling winds around them —Fate led them to 1 read on scowling faces and stern lips at the next halting plane hut another! “move on.” “Move on !” “Move on !" “Move on !” Rut a few more time repeated and the old man will halt where the wild waves of eternity lash the shores of time. Then will Death, the end of all earthly suffering, step from the mists that lie beyond, and with icy linger dipped 111 tears of pity, lie will write on j the furrowed brow of the old man : 1 “Pilgrim, thou art weary— REST !” L. 11. Putillo iu Augusta Chronicle. Off tile Truck. 'The parallels between animate and inanimate creatures are not infrequent ly noticeable. The analogies of life are often so potent in their illustrations that the rhetorician and the scholar find in them the most beautiful pictures and theiq figures of speech, strike the key note of illustra'ion with a force that at once .startles and captivates you. But to draw the | arallel and trace the analogy just here, did you ever see a car or a train off the track ? If you have you can readily under stand what trouble it causes, what la bor it entails and what serious results often follow. And men frequently get o/T the track. The groove in which wo run is sometimes obstructed with some little obstacle and some person who has on too much steam or is laboring under a strain of too much motive power finds the obstacle too much and at oiice gets off the track. The results of a man's derailment, so to speek, is frequently as fatal in its result as that of a car or train. It not infrequently causes loss of life or limb, and brings sorrow and suffering upon othets. Again, the sad results are to him alone who flies the track and goes helter-skelter into the ditch. Sometimes a man gets off the track and it is a very easy matter for him fo be put back on. His friends come to his rescue and lifting him like they would a street car, put him back where he properly belongs and he goes run niug along smoothly, But then again he is too violent, he tries to turn a curve around one of Nature’s corners too suddenly or too swiftly and wreck ensues. The wrecking train in the shape of friends comes along and after repairing the damage, he is started out again, but he is crippled and injured, and can’t run as he once did or accom plish as much by his speed. The best schedule iu life to run is to keep the engine of life iu good working order, with plenty of steam for occasions that demand it, but alwve ail things—keep on the track and the right one. —Albany News and Adver tiser.

No wonder the Farmers’ Alliance is a fata ot tremendous existence, No wonder that the laboring man of ever}’ line of industry are aroused to a degree of self-defenso never before I witnessed in the history of the world. No wonder the thoughtful men of business, the merchant and the hanker alike, are set in their determination to have relief from the crushing burdens laid upon them and upon every man, woman and child in the country. No wonder that the handwriting is up<m the wall, making plain in living letters tho doom of the republican party, a party that lias only been a curse to tho American people and a menace to national and individual Jife and liberty. Why, just read this startling state ment from the Washington Post: “For the next two years ourgovern ! incut will spend annually more than ' $500,000,000. “To pay one year’s expenses of the government it will take nearly tlie combined wheat and oat crop. “Our annual output of gold, silver, copper, iron, coal, pertroleum and lead will not foot our tax bill for twelve months. “Nor can we do it with a jear’s product of cotton, wool, rye, barley, wine, potatoes and tobacco. “Tho combined capilulizaiior. of our uat ional banks is #509,000,000. One year’s taxes will will nearly swallow it up. “Now, all this is the Federal tux. We have also to pay city, country and st ate tax os. “We pretend to he a nation of plain people, with no aristocracy, no princes, no standing army expensive frills and yet our taxes are more enormous than those of Austria, Germany or Great Britain." This is no overdraw or partisan picture. It is a stern presentation of facts which stare the American people, the tax payers, in the face and causes rest | lessness. uneasiness and muttering of revolution all over the land. The people must have relief or there will ho trouble—serious and ir remediable trouble. There must he a return to thu simpler and more economic administration of the govern" tuent or there will he no government to be administered. Here is work for the democratic party which is laid upon it by the op pressed people of the countiy, and that party dare not shirk the responsibility or turn a deaf ear to the cry of dis tress. There is restlessness and discontent, and justly so, among the farmers of the country. Years of grinding oppres sion have been their lot. Years of toil without just remuneration have been their portion. These are no idle words They are of truth and sober ness and the party of people, the dem ocratic party, cannot afford to treat with neglect or contempt or indiffer ence the stein determination of the brave and patient men who make up the great army of the Farmers’ Alli ance, to have justice metered out to them by the democratic party or out side of it.—Homo Tribune. To Limit Cotton Production. Cuaki.eston, S. C., .July B. —The low price of cotton is causing great dis satisfaction among the farmers in this state, and various propositions hav e been made to limit the production by a decrease of act cage, in plowing up one fourth devices. The Farmers Alla nee Marlboro county, iu this state, has adopted the following resolutions : That we pledge ourselves to plant oi.ly ten acres of cotton to the horse iu 18112 ; provided we can get the co-op eration of all the cotton states, so as to decrease the production of cotton, and so obtain the due rewaid for our labor, j Second, That we re quest the state I alliance to call for a convention of the cotton growers of the south, irrespect ive of class or color, to meet not later than December Ist next, to consider the same. The state alliance will meet at Spar tanburg July 22d, and will probably take action ou the subject. Mr. Jere R. Traylor, Traveling Salcman for F. R.

Allegiance of AUiancemen. From the inception of the alliance movement Kansas has had more to say upon tins subject than any other two states, and, in consequence, has besti consideied the stronghold of the farmers’ alliance. Yet it is" the flrlt state to show unmistakable signs of weakness and disruption in the organ ization. Immediately after the result of the third party movement, into which the alliance was to have been merged, be came known in Kansas it was taken up by the alliance and promptly re prudiated by at least twenty-live sub alliances. Such a course was all rational and regular enough, liut the reason as signed for it sounds a little singular. That third party project was rejected not because it was adjudged injurious or devoid of advantageous prospects for the alliance, but it was discounte- ! "anced for the assigned reason that such a movement would tend to dis rupt the Republican party. Follow ing close upon this decision quite a number of the sub-alliances reported action to the republican state central committee, and subsequently adopted resolutions advising members to ignore the third party and return to their for mer political affiliations. This course of proceedings pretty clearly indicates that the Kansas farmers’ ailliance is but an adjunct of the Republican party, a realy great service in disclosing its true character in time for any possible political influence it might exert to be counteracted. In some of the other western states the republican leaders are making headway in an effort to keep republi can alliancemeu out of the People’s party. And one thing that is helping them is the refusal of the People’s party to put a prohibition plank in its platform. As a rule alliancemeu are prohibitionists, and they are as much in favor of prohibiting the liquor traf fic as they are in securing some of the other things they are demanding. Southern alliancemeu who regard the People’s party with favor should study carefully the course of western alliancemeu with reference to tlio third party. If they should it is prob able that they would be satisfied to re main in the Democratic party. It cun be staled pretty safely that when tho time for voting comes most of the wes tern ulliaucemen will have republican ballots in their bauds. —Savannah Nows. Too Many Societies.
