Drank Ullli John Smith "T.* 1
Perhaps one of tho oddest and at tho
tamo time brightest characters in early
Missouri was Col John Smith "T.” of
B&line county. Ha was a native ot
Saline county, says the Kaunas City
Times, and n prosperous planter and
alave owner in the ’40s. lie was an ec
centric grnious, ready to shoot and than
to shake bands after explanations. For
bis fearlessness he was feared, but his
generous disposition tuado him many
warm friends.
CoL Smith had all his letters addressed
"John Smith. T.” In explanation.ot this
singular chsngs or addition to bis name*
he would stale that there were so many
John Smiths in the country it was im
possible to make a distinction without
some guiding mark. "When a fellow
geta a letter from me, H he would add,
*'he will know at once i wrote
It." And he did. John
"T.” became a noted character. Many
good stories are told of him. One of tho
best is that which the Hon. James 8,
Rollins used to tell with particular relish
when some inquisitive youngster would
ask him why he never in his later lifo
made temperance speeches, whereas in
his youuger days bis fame ns a cold
water advocate was not bounded by
county lines.
Whenever this interrogatory was pro
pounded him, Maj. Koliins would let the
iashesnf his left oyo rest quietly upon his
left cheek, and for ton minutes ho would
entertain the company with the story of
the first time he mot John Smith. "T,"

New York, August 4.—[Special!—
Your correspondent has 'u«t secured a
copy of the official minutes of the Alii*
nnce business events meeting in South
Beach, N. Y. The character of the un
dertaking which these Ahiancemen as
sumed there is of genorsl interest, and
perhaps the more so to Georgia because
of the ruthor prominent part taken by
Col. W. 1. l’eek, president of the Alli
ance Exchange of that state, and because
no stale is likely to be more heavily af
fected by its operations,
The account which follows, taken from
these official minutes, may be prefaced
hr the statement, for which the Wall
hi reel Farmer la authority, that Presi
dent I* Ia Polk, of the
Farmers* Alliance and Indus-
tral Union, has appointed a com-
nuiteo in the matter, and that tho
nuttee has visited Now York. TheJr Irlp
was a fruitions one, for the simple reason
that the ndverticod hindquarters of the
concern, 8-"i5 Broadway, had been va
cated and no traco could be found of
them here.
Thu committee says that tho Wnl-
Street Farmer tried to Investigate, bu-
could find nothing tangible to investi

moved—again quoting
Detroit. Aug. 4.—There is one serious
dispute which threatens to mar the
seronity of the silver euioampment of
tho G. A. R. It is prouliar that after the
organization had bren in existence a
quarter of a century it should be threat
ened with disruption by the ever living
"color" question.
Such is the fnci, however. Men from
tho South who were loyal to the Union
in the dark days of ’dl are the ones who
insist the negro has no place in the social
gathering* ot the Grand Army.
Col. fieOk I. Hedges, comm mder of the
department of Louisiana and Missiasippi
is quartered at the Kiddle House,
together with several dusky aids who
Imvo come prepared to tight the matter
out
"Unless things aro straightened out,”
he said today, "there won’t he a white
member of tho G. A. R. south of the
Ohio. They aro outnumbering us in
posts, thus putting us directly under
them. That we will not stand. Now
we want to rule ourselves and have tho
negroes do likewise. Seven out of ten
colored posts of Now Orleans are in favor
of it, but us you know, thtr« are always
some kickers, and 1 understand two of
Chicago's most influential colored men
are on their way to help, and think we
will gain our point. All we ask is a
provisional department embracing Flor
ida, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas."
A dozen or more >outhern white men
expressed themselves in a similar strain.
IRK XEORO SIDE.
Thero nro two »t Its to the question,
and Co). Jantrs Lewis (col-
oroJ), formerly admin strator
of police and administrator of
public works of New Orleans,* is cham
pion of the colored side. When asked
what the trouble in his state was he
said:
"Did you ever know a time when there
was no trou -Io in the rtste? It was
Louisiana that lirs*. tired th.» i; . i .»t
Sumpter. The first negro company
company was raised in Louisiana. Lou
isiana was the first stale to decide for
Hayes, Tho Italian riot was in Louisiana
and now the colorod trouble has sprung
up there. Louisiana is always in trouble.
Well, there are 24.8U0 colored tnen en
listed in tho army from Louisiana, more
than from all the other state*. Wo sru
regularly enlisted. We fought, as his
tory toils, and then we were honorably
discharged.
"With these things to our croJil we
had all tho rights of any meu to form G.
A. It. p<RK We did tins and we were
recognized br Gen. Alger when the fight
wae made on us. Wo liuve nine posts
with a meml criidp "f orer 1,000, yot we
are not recognized by the commander of
our department. Wo get no representa
tion in tho convention and are ordered
to report to the commander-in-chief,
"Wohave preparod a strong case on
the matter, and all 1 ask is twonty-flve
minuiosin which to present it to tho com
mittee or to the convention itself.
‘Th** department commander, thinks
we want social recognition. I claim tho
der is not a aociarone, but a historical
and fraternal one.

I feel that I would be recreant if,

O. Harris and C. W, Shum, prominent
leaders in tho People's parly, protosting

is regarded as the safest lender in the
Alliance and would have been elected to

Sham was the People's party man for

Tbe sub-Alliances throughout the stato
this month will vote ou tho sub-treasury
schemo to decide if it shall bo incorpo
rated in tho People’s party platform, and
the indications now are that it will bo
defeated.
Frank McGrath, president of the Alli
ance, who has btEa warm in its advocacy,
comes out openly against it, and a big
fight is lookod for when tho annual moot
ing of tho Alliance occurs in September.
Col Harris says that after a brilliant
victory has been won by tho Allianco,
the so-called sub-treasury cchome was
brought ouL the scheme ia its essential
features moulded after the vicious
aud corrupt practices which
had condemned; patterned after
the illegitimate loaning pf money by tl:

ADimsviLi.it, Aug. 5.—[Special. ]—
There has been a very successful meet-
arriedon at Salem, a church fit*
miles above here, the nearest railway
atation being McHenry, a hamlet of one
atore and a dwelling. Sunday, Dr. Gibson
of Atlanta preached, and a large number
ent from here nod around to hear him.
When the train stopped near the church
lone man was noticed to get off from
ie rear coach and wander around aitn-
le.sly, until a farmer approached tho
gentleman with the remark that he had
him before. Tbo lattnr remarked,
"Nortken is my name, tho governor of
Georgia."
As it was not known that his excel
lency would attend church at this rather
eecluJed place, overy ono was taken by
surprise. But it was not long until the
governor was in the hands of people who
are hospitable at home an l abroad, aud
they certainly blew a mighty trumpet
announcing their distinguished guest's
arrival
•o governor sat down to an old-
fashioned dinner, served with careful
hands in a sumptuous manner, five miles
still further iu the mountains, and ho
seemed to enjoy the surroundings hugely,
His host and hostess gave way to their
every indication of th6 honor aud plea*
uro of having tho governor of Georgu
with them.

"That's John Smith, T," whispered the
landlord. "He will kill you, sure.

But Maj. Rollins was furious. He

A New Conflitwnre Swindle IJelng
Practiced In Atlanta.
Atlanta, Aug. 5.—(Special]—A negro
signing his name "J. Stricklau" lias been
working the darkies horeon a new peu-
sion swindle. He represented that con
gress was on tbe eve of passing an not to
pension all the negroes. Tbe amount of
this varied according to age, so much to
be paid every month ana so much at
death. The swicdler, a dandified,
cated negro, claimed to be a government
agent whose business it was to gather
these claims in shape. This he said
called for &u expense of 85 cents which
he was required to collect in advance. He
gavo in return a certificate which is
a printed form used in postoffices with
the word "arplicalion" scratched out
and "petition" written instead, so as to
road: "Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 5. 1801.—
Thia Is to certify that has 'puid
all necessary postage on petition to dale.
Signed, J. Mricklnn."
It is really remarkable how many
negroes he lias duped in this wny. They
havo been coming to the police station
tonight in crowds, mon and women, old
and young. Stricklin has been hero
oolv a few dava. The police have been
looking for nqn all day, unsuccessfully

Pretty strong
reasons for trying Dr. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy. In the
first place, it cures your ca-
tarrh — no matter how bad
your case, or of how long
standing. It doesn't simply
palliate — it ewes. If you
believe it, so much the bet
ter. There’s nothing more
to be said. You get it
for 50 cents, from all drug-
gists.
But perhaps you won't
believe it. Then there’s
another reason for trying
it. Show that you can’t be
cured, and you'll get $500.
It’s a plain business offer.
The makers of Dr. Sage’s
Remedy will pay you that
amount if they can’t cure
you. They know that they
can — you think that they
can’t. If they're wrong,
you get the cash. If you're
wrong, you’re rid of catarrh.

New York, Aug. 5.—The White Star

thus breaking tho record from Queens
town to New York. She was signaled off
Fire island at 2:05 o'clock. Her time wu
5 days, lb hours and 8 minute*. She
beat the record by 57 minute*.
Previous to tut performance of the
Majestic tire record was held by the White
Star steamer Teutonic. It was 5 days,
19 hours and 5 minues. Capu Kartell of
the Majestic and several hundred saloc
passengers were tilled with enthusiasi
when they learned Ibis morning that
they bad journey® l across tho Atlantic
in sucL a short space of tima In addi
tion to this the rapid voyage wa* an ot*
cce iingly pleasant one, the weather
being eneraliy fair.
According to the ship's log, tho days'
runs wert made as follows: „ First day,
July 31, 470; second day, 501; third day,
497; fourth day, 501; fifth day, 491. The

W. J. F. Mitchell, one of the first
settlers of Taylor county, died in Sher
man. Texas, on June 20, 1391. The fact
that no msutlon has been made of this
sad occurence in the newspapers is no
evidence that this great aud good man
was net held is high esteem by the peo
ple of this county. Tho dolay lias boon
caused from the fact that the writor had
not at his command certain dates that
are necessary in this notice. Ho was
born March 9, 1813, in Wilkinson county,
Georgia; moved to Taylor county (Talbot
county thon), while a young man, nnd
lived at his princoiy homo on the Flint
river up to a short time before his death,
when lie moved to Sherman, Texas, in
tending to spend an indefinite lltno with
his two daughters, Mrs. !?sy and Mrs.
Durham, and his son Mr. B. F. Mitchell.
His health faiiod, and some timo in the
spring hit daughter, Mrs. Durham,
whom he so much rolled on, and to
whom he was so devoted, took lever and
Jied. Her doath coming at the time it
di*i, hue li tl o grandeur
tottering under the weight oi
years, it produced a (hock
Irom which he never recovered. No
man over lived who was more devoted to
hie own family or who whs iruer to hi*
friends, lie joined the Missionary Bap
tist church some time, I am told, in the
'pfe—ho ever afterward remained a
devoted member—he was for a number
of years a deacon in the church. He
died in the full triumph of the faith and
with tho full assurance of an abundnnt
entrance into the home of the redeems d.
Ho fought the good fight. He had fin
ished hie course and was ready when the
Master called. He was nover a man
much given to speaking to tbe multi
tude* on questions that concerned eithor
church or state affairs, but he was always
ready to counsel those whom he thougnt
neoded and would appreciate ids advice.
To the poor he was thoughtful and kind
and ever ready to whisper words of en
couragement to those who wore strug
gling to succeed. He was a man who was
