AN ALLIANCE COUNCIL.
A MEETING AT BIRMINGHAM ON THE
3RD OF MAY.
Concert of Action the Thing Desired.
A Washington press dispatch dated
yesterday says that tue Post of today
will print a circular cailing a council of
the presidents and members of the exec
utive commitees of the State Farmers'
Alliance at Birmingham, Ala., on Tues
day, the 3rd of May.
The circular says that this is the most
critical period in the history of the. or
der. Never has there been such a uni
versal and loud cry from the order to the
officers for directions how to conduct
the local fizhts. Never has there been
80 little concert of action among the offi
cers of the different States and sections.
This, if allowed to continue, the circular
says, must be fatal. Concert of action
is imperative, and cannot be achieved
without iv. The political contest threat
ens destruction to th 2 order. The circu
lar explains that the expenses attending
national counc Is of this character is too
great to be bora with convenience, hence
the present method of a meeting of the
officers is proposed.
Great stress is laid upon the impos
tance of the meeting, and the necessity
for full and free councils by all executive
officers is said to be greater than at any
time in the history of the movement.
The meeting will be strictly secret,
with none but properly accredited per
sons admitted. The officers named of
the following State Alliances have been
invited to attend: Virginia, West Vii
ginia, Maryland, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Alabama,
Mississippi, Louisana, Texas, Arkansas,
Missouri, Kentucky and Tennessee. Also
the officrs of th Allance in the territo
ry of Oklahoma.
ON 'HEIR WAY TO THE PEN.
The Ex-Sheritf of Miller County Chained
to a Negro.
From the Albany Herald.
While a reporter was standing on Wash
ington street this morning a negro and
white man chained together and guarded
by anoth r white man passed by.
The reporter introduced himself to
him who seemed to bein charge, and
learned the following facts:
The white prisoner was G, H. Mont
gomery, formerly Sheriff of Miller coune
ty, who was convicted at the April term
of Miller Superior Court for embezzle
rient, and sent up for two years’ hard
labor,
The negro was Monroe Dunean, con
victed at the same time for assault with
intent to murder. He will have to serve
tive years at hard labor.
Mr. G. L. Backus, captain of a sawmill
convict camp at Goodman, on the 5., A,
& M. road, had the prisoners in charge,
and left with them at 2 p. m. today for
that- point.
The specticle presented by the white
man and negro chainel together and
being paraded on the streets was not a
very pleasing one, and was very unfa
vorably commented on by some of our
eitizens,

What Is Love? '
The following is the definition that
won the lover's piize:
“A lover is a man who is totally blind
to the imperfections of the woman he
adores; who is provoked lif other men
are not similarly sightless, and jealous
if they are.”
The definitions accorded honorable
mention are the following:
*A lover worships heralone,
The only perfect thing, |
She, only she, is nature’s queen,
And he thinks he is king.” '
“4& lover is a deluded victim possessed
of insane desire to provide for another
man’s aaughter, and perhaps add to the
comforts of home by a:quiring a moth
er-in-law.”
“A lover is one who is transformed by
the magic wand of love from the king
of bruies to an angel. Laudanum also
effects the change.”’

We do not sympathize with the para
graphers who grow funny over the fact
the auth~r of ‘“‘Little Annie Rooney” is
in jail. That the song has been sung
and whistled to death is the highest evi
dence of its popularity and merit. There
is genuine sentiment and inspiration in
the tender melody, and many aman is
better for the thought—
“ She’s my Annie, I'm her Joe,”
GATHER THEM UP. |
From the Columbia Record.
Gather what up? It was the Master
himself who said: “*Gather up the frag
ments that nothing be lost.”
In mentally surveying the mass of
young people who blockade, as it were,
our country’s thoroughfare, we can but
pause and marvel at the haphazard, list
less, aimless lives so many of these young
people live. It is merely an existence;
they do not live. We cannot but wish
from the depths of an anxious heart they
would take up, if but the fragments of
their lives, and use them for a defined
purpose, .
Is there a boy or girl anywhere who
can say: ‘“There is nothing useful for
me to do to help this world alcng: there
is nothing in my life for which God has
a defined purpose.” The despondent,
down-cast and foolish may aliow them
selves to think thus, but they won't go
far on life’s journey hefore seeing and
regretting their folly.
First—They will see the fragments of
idle moments, which, had they been use
fully employed, would haveproven *‘step
ping stones” to a higher life. In read
ing biographical sketches of great and
good men and women, our attention has
been directed to the manner in which
they spent their icle moments, With
few exceptions, if any, they rose to emi
nence by employing them usefully. There
is not a girl or boy living but who has
many an idle moment; remember they
all go to stamp your destiny. ‘‘Garner
them in for a harvest of golden grain.”
Second—When the boys and girls have
grown to man and womanhood, and have
scattered from the dear old home, they
see fragments of little kindnesses that
was theirs to bestow on another; little
deeds of love that would have shed joy
and light and life into the household.
Little charities, words of commendation,
smiles of approval, are only fragments
of kindness, but if they are in your heart
gather them up and strew them broad
cast, They will be like ‘“‘apples of gold
in pictures of silver.”
Third—Again, when further on in life’s
Journey you will look back and see the
many little blessings that lay at your
door. Only fragments of blessings per
chance, and for that very reason you
pass them by. You are Jike the man
whom an’ancient legend says hunted the
world over for a four-leaf clover, believ
ing it would bring him happiness. After
a fruitless search he returned home, and
there under Lis own doorsteps, grew the
little four-leaf clover. It is in human
nature to reach out for what we have
not, And our young people should learn
ere it be too late to gather up the pres
ent blessings and apply them to useful
ness.
Fourth—Again they will see the tal
ents they might have employed buried in
barren soil. Phrenologists and physi
ogomists teach us that everybody was
created with some specific gi‘t, which
they say we should ‘‘cultivate.” Not
only the student of human heads and
faces teaches us this lesson, but the stu
dent of nature and the searcher of God’s
word all to go to prove to us that there
is nothing created without a purpose in
it.
It may be a mere fragment of genius,
for *to him who hath shall be given, and
to him who hath not shall be takenaway
tauat which he seemeth to have.” Let
nothing that is ‘“‘good” within you ‘‘be
lost.” Of all Bible pictures, to my mind,
there is none more distressing than that
of the “Buried Talent.”” And yet what
a common, living picture it is. All
around us are boys and girls growing
into man and womanhood without any
fixed purpose in life, without any aim,
any aspiration. They never ask them
selves “What am I good for?”
To sleep, to eat, to gossip, to have a
grand, good time, is the height of many
an ambition. They have talent, but it is
buried. They never gather it up into
usefulness, and nothing short of that ter
rible sentence, “Depart ye inio everlast
ing darkness’ will arouse them to a sense
of their slothfulness.

BAD FOR MELON GROWERS. -
Freight Must Be Prepaid, So Says the Cen
tral Traftic Association.
From the Atlanta Constitution.
Macox, GA., April 24,—Here is a piece
of unexpeeted information for the melon
erowers of Georeia, It was understood
by the Southern R:ilway and Steamship
Association that the Central Traffic As
sociation, which controls thirty-six lines
of railway, had or wou d rescind their
action r calling the pre-payment of
treight |- melon and fruit growers, bat
they have declined to do so. Freight to
seven-eights of the markets north of the
Ohio will have to be prepaid. rhis, of
course, will cause all of the ‘‘collect”
markets to be glutted early in the season.
Nothing can be more damaging to the
melon markets than to have one-half the
markets prepay and the balance to col
lect.
ATLANTA, April 22,—Mr, T. O. Skellie,
Macon, Dear Sir: Comwmissioner Stahl
man advises that the Central Traffic As
sociation at its meeting in Chicago, 111.,
on the 12th, declined to authorize the
handling of melons, fruits, ete., on the
basis of the past several years, that is, to
accept the same without prepayment or
guarantee, hence the Central Traffic As
sociation will demand prepayment or
guarantee on melons this year. This in
cludes practically all points north of the
Ohio and east of the Mississippi rivers.
However, the Southern Dispatch (Louis
ville & Nashville via Atlanta, Ga., to
Evansville and Evansville & Terra Haute
and Decatar & and Evansville) will take
melons this scason as last, without pre
pay or guarantee to Chicago, Vincennes,
Terra Haute, Danville, Peoria and inter
mediate points points on the same line.
Yours truly,

A Queer Mistake.
The popular Solicitor-General of the
Southwestern circuit, Hon. C. B. Hud
son, has been guyed considerably by his
brethren of the bar about a queer mis
take he made at the Superior Court in
Stewart county last week. In the hurry
of the closing hours of the court he was
filling out an indictment against a party
for using obscene and vulgar language
‘in the piesence of a female, and, absent
mindedly, filled all the blanks in the in
dictment with his own name. He pass
ed the indictment up to Judge Fish,
who, without noticing the solicitor’s
mistake, signed the warrant attached to
; the indictment and banded it back. The
paper was duly folded and backed,
“State of Georgia vs. C. B. Hudson,”
ete., and turned over to the sheriff with
instructions to *‘require a good and suffi
cient bond in the sum of $100” for the
defendant’s appearance in court. The
soleiter took his departure from the
court room, but when the sheriff had
digested the contents of the bill of in
dictment he straightway went in search
of him, and brought him into court and
required him to give a $lOO. It will
probably be some time before the solici
tor hears the last of that lapsus pennae.
