Mc- Cune, editor of the National Econo mist, who was recently defeated for for President of the National Farmers’ Alliance by Louoks, in their conven tion at Memphis, is in Atlanta. He predicts the total disruption of the Alliance, if nt. the next, national conference Southern delegates do not attend. Many of them withdrew on account of the action of the convention in so strongly endorsing the Third Party. “The Alliance is now,” snid he, “simply a Third Party machine, and will continue so for one year at least.” A <101.1,MOTION FOR WATSON. n« Wntttm Manor From Hi.

Senator Wooten came down Satur day night to spend Sunday at home, and returned to Atlanta this morning at ft :40. Speaking of his connection with the Albany Guards hr said that there was no truth, whatever, in the rumor that he intended to resign as captain of the company, but would stand by it and work fur it. TIlia will be good news to the members of the company, all of whom would regietvery much to part with Cupt. Wooten. He said further that It was ilia in tention to get tlie company together regular after January 1st, and see to it that their advancement in tactical in struction was not allowed to lag. ' In regard to the charge made by $ome Atlanta lawyers that part of the present legislative session was illegal, Senator Wooten snid that there was really nothing at all in the matter. Nobody had paid any attention to it, and lie thought it would rest right where it was. Senator Wooten snid that the rensun the Governor had not signed the bill amending Albany's charter in regard to a Hoard of Water Commissioners was because he lind been out of the city and the measure hnd not been sent in to him. The bill, he says, will be made a law by having the Gover nor’s signature attached this week. About the Graded School Bill* In referenoa to the measure which provides a graded sohool system for Albany, Senator Wooten expressed some very prnnounoed views. “A system of graded publio schools for Albany has always been a pet scheme of mine,” said he. “I am heart and soul in favor of it, and Bliali work for It in the futore with all nry 'might as I have done in the past. Np man in the olty is more zealous in its oause than I am. “Suoh a measure was introduced by me and passed by the legislature two years ago, but, owing to a certain Su preme Court decision It was thought best, at the time, to let the matter drop. Now the oouncil have urged me to take the matter up again, and I have had it publicly advertised at their request. “Since then a few of the oitizens of the oity have spoken to me upon the subject pro and oon, and I find there is some little opposition to the meas ure, though I believe the majority of the oitizens favor It. “As this session of the legislature is rapidly drawing to a close, I have de- oided to introduce the bill at once, and tboso opposing the measure can have opportunity to express themselves on the subjeot. “As this is a subjeot whioh involves the question of taxation, I am really anxious to get the views of the oiti- zens in regard to it, and invite expres sions from them either by mass meet ing, petitions, or personal letters. “In holding the bill back I have no personal ends whatever to subserve but merely wanted to get at the wishes of the people. As a publio servant, my object is to represent the wishes of constituents,” f From Fridav'i Kvxxixu Ribald. The' convention of the National Farmers' Alliance and Industrial Unton.opened in Memphis, Tenn., on Tuesday, with thirty-three States rep resented. At the session on Tuesday night President Louoks read his annual ad dress, A tribute was paid in the ad dress to the memory of L. L. Polk, the former'president of the organization. Among other things recommended by tlie president was a pledge from new members to vote for tlie demands of the Alliance, and whioh should be a test of eligibility to the order. Ref erence was made to the solid South, and tjif address spoke of members of the organization voting with ihe blindness of idolatry to party against the principles of the order. The committee on constitution and by-laws reported on Wednesday. Sev eral changes were made. The salaries of all the ofllcers are scaled down. The president will henceforth receive $2,000 a year and expenses instead of $3,000. The secretary’s salary was re duced from $2,000 to $1,500. Tlie na tional lecturer will receive $4 a day and expenses instead of $2,000 a year. The members of tlie executive com mittee will receive $4 a day instead of $5. In the future the exeoutive commit tee will be composed of five members. Tlie president is one member and the other four will be elected nnnually to serve only one year. The constitution was also amended so that members of the order can be taken from citieB and towns of 5,000 inhabitants or less. The leoturu bureau, of whioh John F. Tillman is general manager and di rector, reported. The report was re ceived in silence. A change In the constitution abolishes the bureau. This, it is understood, means that the organization desires to show its con demnation of the action of Gov. Till* man durlngthe recent political cam paign. Gov. Tillman is a Demoorat in politics, and it is alleged that he used his official position in the Alllanoe to help the Democratic party. It was stated that 200,000 letters containing Democratic literature, were sent out from the Alliance headquarters at Washington, D. C., a few days before the eleotion, by Gov. Tillman. Accompanying this literature was a letter whioli was written on a sheet of paper wliieh bore the names of the national executive board of the Farm ers’ Alliance and industrial union. THE SENATOR FROM THE NINTH An interesting case, and one that Will bo of speoial interest to sporting men, was deoldcd by Magistrate Basse, at Wilmington, Del., on Tuesday last. It was a suit by Manuel Riohenber- ger to recover $85 from State Detootive MoVey, whioh the latter won from the plaintiff last September. Detectives MoVey and Witsil, Bloh- enberger and several friends were on the train on the way to Point Breeze track, where Green’s paoing stallion, Salndin, was etiterod for a race. There was muoli talk ambng the party about betting $100 on Salndin winning. Fin ally Kichenberger offered to bet either MoVey or Witsil that they could not show n hundred dollars. ’’Witsil pro duced five $20 notes and also covered Rionenberger’s $85, whioh had mean- tlmo been deposited in MoVcy’s hands. Accordingly, the stake-holder turn ed the stnkes over to Witsil, nnd Blob- enberger sued to recoyer his portion of tho wager. He was represented at the hearing by ex-GIty Solicitor William T. T.ynnm, who eontended that the legal (leitnitton of a wager Ib money risked by two or more persons on an uncertainty, and claimed thnt Witsil knew lie hnd tho money in his pookot, and consequently the element of un certainty legally required to consti tute a wager was absent. The Magistrate agreed witli tho plaintiff’s counsel and rendered Judg ment for the full nmount against MoVey. The latter appealed tho oaso to the Superior Court. CALHOUN’* VOTE.

Amusements of some kind were going on all day'long. The grand carnival pageant last night was over a mile long, and was one of the most brilliant ever seen in this section of the South. The carnival was ap propriately concluded with one of the grandest balls of the season, which was held at Piedmont Park. Governor McKinley emphatically denies the story that he will resign on J«n. I and practice law. in Fittsburg, Special to the Herald. Atlanta, Nov. 18.—One of the most important bills of the session was in troduced to-day by Mr. Calvin, of Richmond, and it bandies the subject of State banks of circulation. It is a bill to allow State banks to issue bank notes. Tlie bill provides that tlie Governor, the State Treasurer, and Comptroller-General shall be Commission to have engraved and printed in a manner best calculated to guard against counterfeiting, at the expense of tlie bank desiring them notes ns said bank desires nfter said bank deposits ns a collateral, state or municipal bonds to an amount equal to the notes, to protect the circulation Then tlie State shall indorse the notes. The law is to take effect as soon as the Governor is notified that Congress has repealed the act levyinga tax of 10 per cent, on circulating notes of State banks. One of the most expensive bales of cotton we have heard of latoly was brought in "tlie other day by a Negro. He was indebted to a Arm here to the extent of $450 for supplies for the past year or tjtyo, and one bale ol cotton is all lie made. Cotton is going .up sure. Special Correspondence of tho IIekald. Blakely, Ga., Nov. 18. Col. Thos. W. Fleming, of Baker county, is in town to-day. Col. Fleming will, no doubt, repre sent this disirict in the present Sen ate, to fill the vacanoy caused by- the death of Col. Reuben Jones, as he has already received the Democratic nomi nation in his county. Our people are well pleased with the selection, though there jvrns considerable disappoint ment occasioned by the withdrawal of Gov. B. F. Hudspeth, who has many staunch and warm friends in this sec tion. But the venerable Colonel 'has his friends no less than Mr. Hudspeth, Early, upon the whole, is well pleased with Baker’s choice. There is some talk here of a candl date from the Third Party ranks to oppose Col. Fleming. Our people would be well pleased with this turn, as they are very anxious now to “rub in” the crushing defeat so recently ad ministered to that party. Tho Third Party in Early cannot hope to sur vive many whippings, and the sooner they are vanquished the better. Your correspondent interviewed Major T. F. Jones this morning and gathered some very encouraging in formation regarding the condition of tlie farmers of this section. He said that he had recently visited the rural districts and that everything indicat ed a substantiality that would tide the farmers over the hard times now at hand ami give them a good start for another year. Major Jones is the Chief Executive of Blakely and a prominent merchant, thus making his opinion regarding the condition of the people of considerable interest and moment. Bight Yon Are. From the Qnitinnn Sun. lion. J. Wi Walters, of Albany, is said to be a candidate for district at torney for the Southern district of Georgia. He Is entitled to anything lie wants at the hands of the Demo cratic party. Special Corrctpondenco to tho Herald. Leary, Ga., Nov. 18.—There are a great many people in the Seoond dis tricts who oannot understand why Calhoun county did not give Russell a larger majority in the reoent eleotion. In order to set this old aouuty right on thU.soore your correspondent wli give reasons and wherefores. In the first plaoe it oannot bo denied that the Third Party has a strong bold here. Then, besides, the unex pected and corrupt methods pursued by them In the last election made them doubly strong. They emulated the taotlcs of Watson in the Tenth- Negro intimidation. On the night be fore the eleotion, eommitteea from theif party .were sent out to instruct tlie Negroes how and when to votes The blaoks were told that the balloting of uny other tioket than thnt of the Third Party endangered their freedom, When thie failed to persuade them they fjirere given to understand that they would be watched and unless the proposed tioket was oast they would lie summarily dealt with. So thorough was this canvnss that Cal houn only gave Russell n majority of thirty-four. But for the earnest and persistent work of Capt. F. E. Boyd and Mr. J. E. Meroer for Democracy it is probable that at least one county in the Seoond would have gone to Hnnd. A miss, however, is ns good as a mile, and the Third Party has received an election lesson long to be remembered, and, though there are quite a number of them with us still, before another eleotion the woods will be clear and Democracy will reign as of yore.

These election headlines have been an inter esting study, and have shown tho meas ure of enthusiasm nnd the manner in which it was expressed. There were any number of “Victory I” “Redeem ed!” “Saved at Last,” headlines, but these seemed tame and commonplace when compared with “Hip! Hip! Inir- rah!" “Whoop!

It all depends upon how old the style is, aud what the iashion may be, for there is a style just be twixt and between, which is not old enough to be antique and not new enough to be modern.
