It is said that there arc now over
six thousand bales of cotton in tbe
different warehouses in Athens of the
last year’s crop. If this cotton had
been sold at the time of storage, when
the staple was going at 9 cents per
pound, it would have turned loose
about SIOO,OOO in this section. We
believe as a rule, it always best to let
the cotton go as soon as brought to
market, especially if it will bring
cents a pound.
On July 4th, 1891, the town of
Toccoa was shocked to hoar that
Perry Harris, a negro mam, had shot
and killed Lou Moultrie, a colored
woman. The act was committed in
the middle of the day, and was
brutal and without excuse. The two
were in the house together, and Lou
took a bottle of whiskey out of Ber
ry’s pocket. With an oath the man
told her to put the liquor back
threatening to shoot her if she drank
any of it. The woman turned the
bottle up, and Berry shot her with a
pistol, killing her instantly. Harris
was captured last week in Tennessee
and lodged in Clarksville jail.

A sad accident happened in Gains
ville Saturday afterneon. It was the
accidental shooting of Clifford, the
six-year-old son of Richard Garrett
by his grandfather John Garrett.
The latter lives in the fork district
and went home with his son to din
ner. While in the house the grand
father picked up a revolver that hap
pened to be lying on a shelf, thinking
the weapon was not loaded, and while
examining it, the little boy came up
unawares and the next thing the
grandfather knew his grandson was
lying on he floor mortally wounded
by a bullet from the pistol. How it
happend the prostrated grandfather
is Hnable to tell, but as it was a
Smith & Wesson, improved double
acting revolver, and he was unaqiiain
ted with the modern fire arm, it can
easily be seen how the accident could
happen. The ball entered tha foro
bead, one of the bones splitting the
ball in its steady mission—one half
entering the brain and the other half
following the skull. The little suf
erer died about five o’clock Saturday
HOMER, BANKS COUNTY, GEORGIA: AUGUST 21, 1893.
The State Alliance Lecturer.
The state Alliance lecturer was
here Monday and delivered an ad
dress to about 150 or 200 people,
mostly Allinneemen and People’s
party men.
The meeting was presided over by
Squire B rgess. l
Our good friend, Dr. Garrison, of
Cost, made the introductory speech.
After delivering, in faultless style, the
declaration of independence, or
something similar thereunto,—maybe
“somethin? better”—the Dr. pro
ceeded, in a neat and wordy little
speech, to introduce the orator of the
day, Rev. S. A. Walker, the state lec
turer
Mr. Walker is an elderly gentle
man, a Methodist preacher, and what
ever else may be said of him, it can
be truthfully assorted that he under
stands human nature pretty well. As
has been suggested, the reverend
gentlemen has doubtless been
through too many protracted meet
ings not to know how to talk to
please his audience. He told a good
many amusing anecdotes and had the
audience laughing frequently at jokes
told at the expense of his own ugli
ness. His speech of the morning
was, in the main, fair and conserva
tive, though he said some things in
his extreme flights, that we, as n
Democrat, could not endorse. We
must give him credit for some of the
good things lie said. He advised bis
hearers to lay aside all prejudice, and
made some cutting remarks, aimed at
all political parties. lie told the
farmers to hold no malice toward tho
merchants. He told People’s party
men not to hate Democrats and Dem
ocrats not to hate People's party men.
He wanted the people of all classes
.and of all parties to be good friends.
He declared that he believed the
Democrats of Georgia to be just as
honest and patriotic as he was. He
could find it in his heart to forgive
and love the merchant whose politi
cal views did not measure up with his
own- the doctor viio voted and talk
ed “the other way” found warm
lodgment in his heart; the law
yer, the stern, stiff, learned lawyer,
who opposed him most emphatically,
he forgave freely and loved with a
brotherly love; yea, even the court
house politician who had opposed
him on every hand, and who had
been his most formidable opponent,
was entirely forgiven and loved
dearly;—but the editor! the poor,
unregenerated editor! Like as the
sight of red flannel to the eyes of an
infuriated bull, so seems to be the
very thought ofj an “editor” to the
mind of Mr. Walker. “The little
two by three fellows," ho would call
us, “who think they know every
thing:”—and lie looked horrid!
Doubtless in the dim and distant
past, some editor thought it to be
his plain and unmistakable duty to
“do up” Mr. Walker, in print of
course we mean, and the memory of
it lingers with him still. At any rate,
it seems that he can’t lyve an editor.
One feature of Mr. Walker’s speak
ing, or rather, two features combined
into one, must always commend itself
to the fellow who doesn’t object to
having to laugh whether he feels like
it, or not, and that is his mimicking
and face-making. As lie frequently
intimated to his audience, Mr. Wal
ker is not an extremely handsome
man, and when he would twist his
mouth around to talk about some
thing that disgusted him those who
did not want to laugh had to jump up
and holler or leave the room.
In the afternoon Mr. Walker spoke
on three great questions—tariff, trans
portation and finance. He wanted
the xvhole tariff business done away
with, and, of course, he wanted the
government to own the railroads.
After making some very good,
though probably too extreme, re
marks in favor of free silver, which
seemed to take well with the audi
ence, he knocked the whole thing
into the middle of last summer by
saying that he was finally in favor of
doing away with both gold and silver
and issuing only paper money in end
less quantities, based on tax valua
tions. With this subject he closed
his speech.

How the Georgia Belagation Now
Stands.—A Rill that Will
Pass in the Senate.
Washington, August 21, —The
speaker announced the chairman of
committees today.
Wilson, of Virginia, is chinnan of
Ways and means; Bland, coinage,
waits, and measures; Springer, bank®
ing and currency; Moses, of Georgia,
pensions; T liter, of Georgia, expend
itures in interior department. It is
thought that there is a slight free
coinage majority in the make up of
the committees.
Washington, Aug. 20—In all the
Georgia delegation Mr. Cabaniss is
the only member who favors an un
conditional repeal of the purchasing
clause of the Sherman law. He is
opposed to making the attempt to
attach a free coinage bill or anything
else unto tho repeal bill, though he is
an advocate of hinutalisin. lie says
he thinks that the Sherman bill
should be repealed at once and then
the matter of substitute legislation
may bo considered. lie in for free
coinage, however, but for repeal right
now. All the other members of the
delegation will vote for free coinage
at someone of the ratios, that will be
voted upon. ! ..
Should till the amendments to the
Wilson repeal bill be voted down the
majority' of the members of the del
egation will perhaps cast their votes
against that bill, though there are
several who will vote for it. On
this latter question several of the
Georgians, like other members, have
not made uli their minds.
A Bill That Will Pag*.
The indications are that the bill
allowing national hanks to issu • cur
l’eryty to the par value of their bonds
on (deposit' will pass the senate within
a few days. Many senators on both
sides of tho silver question will vote
for it. Though there is some very
decided opposition the prospects are
that the majority in favor of it will
prove large when the vote is taken.

He has about iOO acres of his best

a good portion of which is already
planted in Bermuda and other grasses.
Ilis oat crop alohe this season
amounted to 3500 bushels raised on
his own place, besides the toll earned
by his thresher which will ho nearly
800 bushels of grain. His corn crop
is the fiinest we have seen mostly on

lie has a number of tenants on his
plasc. and they are all provided with
comfortable frame houses and have
pigs and chickens of their own. be
sides potato patches and garden spots
to raise their vegetables, free of rent-
Mr. Thompson has raised about
275 bushels of wheat besides that of
his tenants most of whom had crops

INQUIRIES.
Answered by Georgia Department of
Agriculture
Relating to tho Farm, Carden*
Dairy, Etc
GLANDERS.
Many Inquiries Made Cot?ruJnz Till*
We have many inquiries at til* de
partment relative to glanders, and as
tho state is without a law authorizing
preventive measures on the part of this
department, we can only furnish such
data as will enable the people to judge
when it is advisable to obtain the ser
vices of a veterinarian. The following
by Dr. C. Cary, of the Alabama experi
ment station in a bulletin of that sta
tion presents the general symptoms of
the disease.
1. Nasal Glanders is recognized chief
ly by the n’.cers on the visible lining
membrane of the nose. The ulcers are
generally accompanied by a nasal dis
charge, and by a small, hard, deep
seated swelling under the lower jaw,
high up near the throat, under the base
of the tongue; this swelling, or enlarged
lymphatic gland, rarely suppurates or .
discharges pus.
2. Farcy glanders is manifested by
the presence of hard buds or buttons
and ulcers or chancres, found most fre
quently on the iusido of the thigh, or
on tho inside or outside of the hind leg
below the hock joint, but may occur on
any part of the surface .of the body.
8. Pulmonary glanders manifests it
self by a dry, rough eclat, indigestion,
ematiation, and by that irregular
breathing exhibited in a horse with the
leaves (“Bellowa”). But a case of pul
monary glanders can not he diagnosed
with certainty until the suspected ani
mal dies or communicates the disease to
another horse or mule, or glanders be
comes apparent in one or both of the
other forms of the disease.
4. Any one, or any two or all three of
the foregoing forms of glanders may
appear in a single animal.
5. Glanders in any or all of its forms
cfllus mallei.
0. Tho germs or microbes are trans
mitted from the diseased to tho healthy
animal by direct or 'immediate contact
of tho healthy with the diseased; or by
tho healthy horses or mules coming in
contact with the virus, the nasal dis
charge, in watering troughs, buckets,
mangers and stalls, infected by a glan
derod animal.
7. Man may become inoculated in
sores or broken places in the akin and
thus contract glanders. This occurs
not infrequently with men who care
lessly handle glaadered horses.
S. All animals nfilicted with glanders
Should ho and( stroye.l and their carcasses
should he deeply buried in some out of
tho way place. Never throw the car
cass of any animal into tho river to
breed disease and filth.
9. Disinfect thoroughly all infected
stables, watering troughs, buckets,
harness, stable utensils, etc.
10. Strictly and completely quaran
tine or isolate all exposed or suspected
animals until certain they are, or are
not, slandered.- 1
TREATMENT.
it is uscLr-h. dangerous and expensive
to attempt to treat glanders in tho
horse or tho mule. 1 know medicine
venders and empirics will attempt
treatment of anything; but the very
best and most reliable authorities are
unanimous in declaring that glanders
in the Horse or mule is practically incu
rable. The danger of contracting tha
disease is far greater than one would
suppose when one sees men so reckless
and knowingly careless in handling
glandered horses. Recently a fanner
the writer an idea of the expense in
curred by handling and retaining a
glandered horse on his farm, in the
following words: '‘Had I destroyed
the first case of farcy that appeared on
my farm I would have saved hundreds
of dollars.” Hence, when yon are cer
tain that ono of your animals is affected
with glauders, destroy it at once and
burn or deeply bury the carcass.
GLANDERS IN MEN.
The human family may be attacked
by this loathsome disease, In man it
appears in any of the three forms and
tho symptoms are somewhat similar to
those in the horse. Glanders in man in
its acute stage, may ho mistaken for
typhoid fever, rheumatism, pycemia
(blood poisoning), or erysipelas; and
chronic cases in man simulate chronic
sypihlis or tuberculosis (consumption).
Tho occupation and history of the af
flicted person must always be thor
oughly considered; since man contracts
this disease by carelessly handling
glandered animals. The microbes cr
bacilli gain admission to tho system
through ul.cers or broken places in the
skin of the hands and face. The nasal
discharge may be blown into the face
or get on the hands. Moreover, filthi
ness or uncleanliness of person, make
Bitch an one more susceptible or more
liable to become infected. As -wo have
previously stated, glandered animals
should be destroyed and deeply buried
with as little handling as possible.
