Tux Department of Agriculture at
Washington has completed its estl
mate of the oorn and wheat orop for
1801. With one exception it is the
largest ever raised In the United
States. The total oorn orop was
2.060.000. 000 bushels in round numbers,
valued at nearly $887,000,000, or 40c,
per bushel. Of this vast yield Geor
gia grew 88,000,000 bushels, Alabama
88.000. 000 bushels, nnd South Carolina
10.000. 000 bushels. The yield of wheat
■ in Georgia last year was 2,828,000

\.South Carolina 002,000 bushels.

any other county where a game law
beginning on the first of April was in

The Macon Telegraph of yesterday
publishes the following speoial:
Atlanta, March 21—The Southern
Alliance Farmer of this week, which
came from the press to-day, contains
matter that will very likely set the
Democratic leaders to thinking.
When the St. Louis convention con
cluded Its work the Alliances Farmer,
in order to reflect the true sentiment
of the order of whloh it is the official
organ, adopted an unique plan to de
termine ita policy. The pnper edito
rially called upoil the sub-Alliance in
the State to tnke action in regard to
the St. Lcmlsaonvention—indorsing or
repudiating it. 7 In other words the
Alliance Farmer asked tlie sub-AI-
iiunccmcn whether or notit should ad'
vocate the People’s party, or as In the
past continue to demand the rights of
the farmers througli tlie Democratic
organization.
HUU-ALLIANCK ANSWERS.
To-day the paper prints the first, in
stallment of answers from the sub-AI-
liances. Sixteen hundred sub-Al-
llanees throughout tbe State, out bf n
total, of.2,200 nave taken official action
on the St. Louis convention, as sug
gested by the Alliance Farmer, nnd of
these 1,000 resolutions received by the
editor every one out three in the
strongest terms Indorsed the St. Louis
convention, phitrorm and address.
The Alliances pledge themselves in
their resolution to independent politi
cal action nnd also pledge themselves
to work for tlie candidates who repre
sent their principles.
ALMOST ALL COMMITTED.'
Editor Irwin suites that the action
of the sub-Allinneee means that the
Georgia Allinnoe is almost unanimous
ly committed to tho Peoples’ party.
The names of the Alliances which have
taken action are published ill part to
day. By next, week It Is expected that
the remaining 600 sub-Allinnees will
have acted, and it Is expected tlmt. the
same unanimity will he expressed for
Independent political notion.
All the resolutions received by the
Alliance Farmer are official, signed
nnd stumped by the Presidents nud
secretaries, and represent the senti
ment of tho order ns an order, dot of
thu members ns individuals.
WORK KOU THE DEMOCRATS.
Ill the light of the action of these
1,(101) sub-Allinnces of tbe State, de
claring their allegiance to tbe new po
litical parly, there can be no longer
nny doubt that there Is work for tlie
Democrats of tbo State of Georgia to
do. Some of tbe Democratic leaders
have deemed fit to ignore the new
movement, claiming that at best, the
Alliance was nlmost dead In tho Stnte,
that Its membership has fallen away
heavily, but in the face of thu Idlers
Mint came Into tbo office of Hie South
ern Alllnnco Farmer with the resolu
tions from the 1,000 sub-Allinnces re
ferred to, all state that tlielr member
ship rolls are larger chan they ever
have been, nnd that they nrc increas
ing.
THE I'AltMKR WILL PLOP.
The sentiment of the Alliance in
favor of the People’s party has been so
overwhelmingly demonstrated that
the Alllnnco Farmer, the official organ,
will, by force of Its own proposition,
be compelled to come out in advoenoy
of tbo declaration of tlie St. Louis con
vention. Tbo farmers constitute n
very large proportion of the Demo
cratic party of Georgia, nnd their po
sition is significant. ,
Along with tlie publication of tlicso
sub-Alllance resolutions is nn appeal
from President Peck of the Alliance
exchange, calling upon tho farmers to
Btnml solid for the People’s party.
Tom Watson also publishes a lengtny
address to the people of the State, ad
vocating the People’s party,
ntlCB ADO ARODT NOTHING.
All eminent lawyer from one of the
Northern. States, who had spent the
greater part of the winter In Thomns-
ville for hls health, made Albany a
short visit recently and very freely ex
pressed his views as to the respective
merits of the two towns for a winter
resort
“You don’t appreciate your own ad
vantages,” said he. “All that Albany
needs to make It. one of the leading
winter resorts of the South, is a hotel
—a fine hotel, I mean.”
“But Thntnnsvllle Is so near us and
Its reputation is established," objected
a listener.
■ “That’s all right,” promptly re
sponded the gcntlemnn, “with the
natural advantages you hnve here, a
reputation can easily be made. Tills
locality Is much healthier than about
Tliomasville.nnd you have as fine water
as can be found in the Stnte of Geor
gia. I have heard different Northern
people speak of It, and came over here
for the express purpose of trying It
for a few days. Why, with two hotels
like the Plney Woods, Albany would
find lierself crowded every winter
with visitors oT wealth, nml she would
find their readily spent money flowing
Into her ooffors insteRl of those of
some other town."
Are we to heed tills gentleman’s
suggestion?
But tlmt Is not the only opinion of
the kind that visitors have expressed
about our attractive little city.
A Indy from New York who stopped
yesterday at the Inn gave substantial
ly tliu same opinion.
She said she would be glad to spend
a month or so in Albany if there was
n first-class hotel In the place.
Albany lins two ns good hotels for
file accommodation of transients ns
oan be found any where nrounff. But
naturally, they do not attract people
willing to pay from live to ten dollars
per day for hotel comforts.
Willi the new union depot that we
are to lmve, with the new opera house
that possibly will make its appearance
beforij the summer Is over, .and a fine
hotel, what an array of attractions to
start the winter of ’02 with!

The Broker nud the Peddler.
Herb Is a “good one” from the New
York Times:
A few days ago a broker gave a cal
endar peddler a lmlf-dollnr to get rid
of him. The peddler, however, volun
teered to leave a enlendar at the bank
er’s liuusc tlmt evening. The banker
paid no attention to tlmt offur, but
when he reached home his wife in
formed him that a man lmd been there
only a few minutes before and left a
calendar. “He said that you sent him
here,” remarked the wife, “and told
him to col Hot a dollar from me.”
“Did you glvo him a dollar?” asked
the banker, with rising elioler.
“I did,’ said the wife.
The banker muttered a few harsh
words to himself and summoning hls
butler sent him out into the street
with instructions to “find that blnmed
E eddler and bring him ’back.” The
utler overtook the peddler a couple
of blocks away and bade him return to
tbe house at once. “My master wants
to see you,” said he.
“Vy, yaas; I vas shust at dcr house
and vas miss him,” drawled the ped
dler, with sublime assurance. “But I
know vat he vants. He vants a calen
dar. Here it is. I am in a hurry.
You gif me der 50 cents and he vfll
bay you.” The unsuspecting butler
handed over the half-dollar, took the
calendar, and hurried baok to hls mas
ter with a beaming face. The beam
did not retain its beaminess long.
TREY ABE COKING.
The Calfcama Caaaly Teachers Will Ee
Here*
The Calhoun county teachera de
cided some time since that Chautau
qua week would not find them in Al
bany in attendance on the Teachers’
Institute. But they have reconsidered
the matter and concluded tq attend in
a body, so Prof. Fitzpatrick informs
us. They could not resist the attrac
tions presented by the Institute and
Chautauqua programs, and showed
their good sense, in the sober second
thought taken. They will be here,
then, and their presence will add to
the interest and considerably swell
tbenumber of attendants.
Mr*. Darker In Dead.
A telegram Tuesday from Mrs.
Dehon, to Mr, II. Nott Parker stated
that Ills mother, Mrs. Amelin Nott
Parker, was very much worse and the
immediate presence of her son wns
necessary. A second telegram, re
ceived a little Inter, contained the snd
Intelligence of her death.
The lumlly were not wholly unpre
pared for the newB, but it name doub
ly sad to them now that they had be
gun to entertain some slight hope of
her partial recovery.
. Mrs. Parker had been III tbo whole
fall through, and her friends have
thought ninny weeks that lier death
wns but a question of a short time.
‘Lately, she evinced a desire to he
taken to Summerville,nonr her old home
nt Charleston, S. C., nnd so the prepara
tions were made. All that loving
hearts and Immls eoifld do to make n
long journey In some degree com
fortable to nn invalid was done, and
last week she wns carried back to
scenes of earlier days.
Slio was taken liomq to die, however.
But it is in a measure comforting to
herohlldren to know tlmt she died in
the plnco and surrounded by friends
endeared to her by long association.
Mrs. Parker had been a widow for
many years, her husband having d|cd
before tlie war. She was a lady of
rare Intellectual abilities, traveled and
well rend, nnd loved by all who knew
her for sweet disposition nnd excellant
Christian character.
She enme to Albany about five years
ago with lier son, Mr. Nott Parker,
nnd made many loving qnd admiring
friends during her life here.
She will be buried near their old
home.
Mrs. Dehon, Mrs. Moore, Miss
Amle Pnrkernnd Mr. H. Nott Parker,
all well known in Albany, mourn deep
ly tho loss of the mother who reared
them in the principles of the Christian
religion.
Their many frlgnds tender their sin-
eercst sympathies in this snd hour of
affliction.
From Thuraday’a Daily Hkhalv.
About twelve o’clock yesterday
policeman McLarty was seen going
up Broad street from the direction of
the, river, having in custody Mr.
Claude Holley, n mechanic who lias
been a' resident of Albany for a year
or two.
Mr. Holley seemed to be terribly
wrought up, and wns gesticulating
and talking In n very excited manner.
When they reached the telegraph
office both entered, nnd n crowd at
once began to collect in the office and
around tlie door, trying to learn what
the trouble was,
In tlie office, Mr. Holly was excited
ly talking, nnd from him the following
facts were learned :
Several years ago oqe Ben Garner
was killed in Sandersville, Ga., by
Rans Ilorton, on account of Garner’s
relations with Ills, (Horton’s) wife.
The murderer skipped out, nnd was
heard of no more.
About a year nml a half ago Holley
enme to Albany, where he lms been
ever since.
And now he is accused of being
Ranee Horton, the murderer of
Garner.
Jake Mathews, who formerly n'so
lived In Sandersville, is bis accuser.
Mathews came to Albnny about a year
ago, and It certainly seems strange
that lie lms never before charged
Holley with the crime for which hi
wns arrested yesterday. Mathews has' n
black name with persons he has ever
lmd Rtiy business with, nml lms acted
the rascal on several occasions since
hls residence in Albany.
Holley says bis accuser’s perssonal
enmity toward him is the enuse of his
being arrested, lie broke up a dance,
so lio says, at Mathews’ house several
nights ago, nnd tills Is the direct
cause of the whole nffair.
Mr. Holley lias letters nnd notes
dated at Sandersville, which show
him to be Claude Holley. Then^tgain,
Sunday’s Atlanta Constitution oon-
tained a notice of the trial, In Ssnders-
vllle, Of R. If. Horton for the murder
of one Garner, nml who wns convicted
of voluntary, manslaughter. Tills,
coupled with other facts, caused officer
McLarty to give Holley his liberty
about 2:30 o’clock.
About 5 o’clock officer McLarty re
ceived the following telegram, which
explnlns Itself:
Sandeiisvlle, Ga., March 23.
We are getting tired of this ever
lasting compromise of Democratic
prinolples and measures with the
Mugwumps of the East and the money
sharks of Wall street. It is about
time for the. Democratic party to get
itself together on a solid, straightout
Democratic platform, and let the pro
tectionists, the gold-bugs and all the
others who don't want to be Demo-
crata and ride on the Democratic
wagon go where they belong.
A meeting of the Democratic execu
tive committee of Burkeicounty, this
State, was held at Waynesboro on last
Wednesdays for reorganization, and
eight members of the committee re
signed to become more closely identi
fied with the Third party. Ta-ta!
Bobs Tom Platt, who is now in full
control of the Republican machine in
New York, is oredited with saying
that he is not so much concerned about
what the Republicans do at Minneap
olis as he |is about wbat the Demo
crats do at Chicago. Platt is afraid of
David B. Hill, and has reason to be.

ADJOURNMENT OF COURT.
Mayor Gilbert enme home from tlie
meeting of the railroad officials with
the Railroad Commissioners at Atlan
ta on Tuesday in a most happy mood.
He thinks the union depot matter lias
finally been settled, and that tile long-
talked-of depot will be a reality by
the first of July.
And it really does look that way.
All tlie railroads running to Albany
except the A. F. & N., were represent
ed nt tlie meeting on Tuesday, and the
plan that was submitted by Bruce &
Morgan, nnd which was exhibited at
the Mayor’s office In this oity a short
time sinoe, was adopted, except as to
tlie shed. The Bhed was left off. All the
roads ngreed upon it, and the work of
constructing the building was en
trusted to Col. W. B. Lowe, of the Co
lumbus Southern, who is to have the
assistance of Mr. Bruee, the architect.
The structure will cost about ten
thousand dollars.
The Central road is still holding
]bnck, and was given sixty days by the
Commissioners in which to come into
tho Union depot scheme with the
other roads. If, at the end of this
time, the Central doesn’t get itself in
to line with the other roads, it is un
derstood that the Commissioners will
require them to put up a standard de

Col J. H. Estill has resigned as the
member from Georgia of the National
Democratic Committee. In a letter to
Chairman Atkinson, of the State Com
mittee, Col. Estill says that his reason
for resigning Is that he has been in ill
health for nearly two years and, there
fore, desires to be relieved from un
necessary cares. The letter was a
surprise, as there had been no intima
tion from any quarter that It was
thought of. A meeting of the State-
committee will be called at an early
date to fill the vacanoy.
Hon. C. B. Wooten addressed the
people of Berrien oounty at Nashville
on Tuesday, and the Herald is relia
bly Informed that he made a very
favorable impression. Hon. O. B
Stevens was there, and undertook to
quiz Col. Wooten while the latter was
speaking. This just suited the Colonel
and gave him an opportunity to shell
the woods a little. Mr. Stevens was-
invited to speak, but he declined to do
so. He is a still hunter.
