early part'of August.

The republican framers of the
proposed tariff bill have decided
to propitiate the southern farmers
to the extent of placing jute on the
free list. It is not unlikely that
this “sop” is thrown out too late,
as the southern alliance farmers
have decided to use a substitute
for jute as a covering for cotton
bales-
A destructive cyclone swept
over portions of Kentucky, Ten
nessee, Ohio and Indiana last
Thursday night, destroying prop
erty to the value of several hun
dred thousand dollars, and killing
and wounding several hundred
people. Louisville, Ky., suffered
more than any other point, where
about 100 houses were destroyed
or badly damaged, about 150 pei-
sons killed, and a large number
wounded. *
COURT CONTRACTS.
Fined for Contempt of Conrt,
In Houston County Court last
Monday Jim Harris, col. was ar-
raingnedfor contempt of court
in violating a court, in
contract. The facts in the
case were as follows: On
March 8th last, Jim Harris enter
ed into a court contract with Mr.
J. M. Federick, to do general farm
work for the term of 5-J months,
This contract was read over and
explained to both parties, signed
in presence of Judge Riley, and
then filed in the County Court,
both parties thereby agreeing that
. said contract should become
judgment and decree of that court,
and that the terms of the same
should be enforced as otliei- judg
ments and decrees of the court are
enforced.
Harris failed to appear at the
time arranged by -the contract,
moved with his family to another
county, and refused to comply
with the terms of the contract.
Mr. Frederick made complaint to
the County Court, stating that he
had complied with the contract,
and that Jim.Harris had not. An
| attachment for contempt was is
sued against Harris, in Washing
ton county who was arrested by
Bailiff Tuttle, and on this at
tachment the case was tried.

Some of our best planters are
through planting cotton,—while

Mr. J. F. Pearce had the mis
fortune on last Sunday lo lose his
pocket-book, but luckily found it.
The hip-pocket, the devil’s scrap
sack was the cause, of it.
Maj. Colyer has bought himself
a new organ, which dispenses with
the use-of a cook. He has music
for breakfast, for dinner and for
supper. He thinks that if he could
get an instrument that would fur
nish clothing, he could soon get
rich. The Maj. has been missing
his pocket change for several days
circumstances directed suspicion
to one'youngster of doubtful de
scent in his employ. Bringing
his detective abilities into use, he
soon located the thief and the
money.
I cannot close without thanking
Mr. Norwood for his, to me, inter
esting letter descriptive of Chiea-
mauga and Missionary Ridge,
Bragg’s Austerlitz and his Water
loo. Though twenty-five years
have passed since that disastrous
evening, that solid mass of blue
moving with the same coolness
and precision as if on dress pa
rade, is still fresh inmy memory. I
don’t|think that any but an eyewit
ness could understand any descrip
tion that might be given of it. It is
not often that I allow my mind to
revert to the scenes of that war,but
cannot help occasionally thinking
of Missionary Ridge, and if Bragg
had held it, what might have been?

DICTATED BY DOC.
z
The facts above stated, having
been proven in court, Harris was
committed to jail for 10 days for
' contempt of court, to be discharged
upon payment of $26.50.
Further, the prisaner was
dered to carry out the contract
■previously entered into, beginning
at the expiration of the ten. days
imprisonment. However, Mr. Fred
erick offered’to annul the contract
upon the payment by Harris of
-S1S.4S, the amount of damages he
had sustained by the failure of
.Harris to comply with the contract.
Should Harris pay the damages
-agreed upon, he will be absolved
from all obligation to Mr. Freder
ick or the court, otherwise he will
be again- subject to punishment
for contempt of court, if he fur
ther refuses to comply with the
terms of the contract.
We understand that the con
struction of the contract law shown
by the above decision, is identical
with that put upon it by each of
Judge Riley’s predecessors.
We are satisfied the judgment
here shown is correct, else there
would be no use for written con
tracts. Whenever a contract is
signed in the presence of a judge,
and by full consent of both parties
tiie contract becomes a part of the,
record of that court, either party
violating the terms of the contract
commits a contempt of court, and
becomes subject to a penalty of-
fine or imprisonment for such of
fense.
In the ease above tried, if Mr.
Frederick had violated the terms
,ke contract, he would have
n subject to punishment for
itempt.

agricultural portions of the coun

Hickory Grove and vicinity is
wonderfully blest in climate, water
and fertility of soil. A young
man might travel over a great .por
tion of these United States before
finding a more desirable country
than right here. We have some
planters here who seem to appre
ciate their desirable surroundings,
and are showing their apprecia
tion by devoting their best ener
gies to make life whatit should be.
Most of the farmers have very
fair stands of corn up, and are now
replanting the same. Quite a lum
ber have been planting cotton the
past week, and others will follow

farmers are well up with their

ALLIANCE RESOLUTIONS,
And the Olive Bill, Discussed by Hon
E. A. liatiiews.
In accordance with an order from the
author, we reproduce the following arti
cle from the Fort Talley Enterprise:
Editor Ertebeeisi:: The Houston
County Alliance passed a number of res-
rlutions at its last- quarterly meeting,
usingwords of severest censure for Hons-
ton’s representatives and senator in the
last legislature. The ground of the cen
sure contained iu the resolutions was
what was alleged to be _our vote npon
the proposed measure, much spoken of count of every yoto I cast as a legislator,
Mr. Dilworth Choate has been
sentenced to one month’s impris
onment, and to pay a fine of 8250
for contempt of court in New York
City, the act of offence being that
he secreted himself in a jury room
in order to secure a sensational
piece of news for the New York
World, for which paper he has
been a reporter for several years.
Dilworth is a native of Perry, Ga.,
and his first newspaper service was
performed in the Home Journal
office. It is not unlikely that the
punishment imposed will proveto
Dilworth a financial bonanza.

Co., Publishers, Baltimore, Md.
of late as the Olive bill. I desire to beg
your indulgence and the use of your col
umns for a brief and candid discussion
of this matter with my Tate constituents.
I wish mainly to discuss the Olivo bill
and its provisions as they would afreet
tho people, but I wish also to give that
notice to the resolutions of the county
alliance that the prominence and res
pectability of that body demand.
These resolutions were introduced by
Mr. A. P. Jones, of Henderson, who has,
I believe, been an officer of ;he county al
liance most of the time since its organi
zation, and so should surely be posted on
what has taken place in the body. These
resolutions were passed, although not by
any means unanimously, and were order
ed published, and were published, in the
Atlanta Journal and in the Alliance
Fanner. Those resolutions were pre
ceded hy a preamble about as follows:
1st. That it is the policy of the Hous
ton county alliance that the Olive bill
should have passed.
2nd. Thatthe alliance had instructed
Houston’s representatives and senator to
vote for the bill.
3rd. That said representatives and sen
ator had disregarded the wishes of the
alliance and voted to please themselves.
Now follow the resolutions proper,
about as follows: Eesolved 1st, That the
representatives and senator in voting
against the Olive bill voted against the
interests of the people, etc. 2nd, That
we—meaning the members of the alliance
—will never Tote for eitlfer of the pres
ent representatives or our senator for any
office of honor or trust.
Now, that last resolution beyond doubt
was intended to be severe, and it unques
tionably is pretty rough language. To
justify such words by any one with
knowledge of the English language there
should have been^ome grave discovery
of utter rottenness. Mr. Jones, when he
arose with the resolutions in hand, ought
to have been sure thet he had found some
very dark and damning spots upon our
moral record before he would feel bound
to call upon a representative body to re
solve that Houston’s late representatives
and senator had been round unworthy of
“honor and trust.” And the county alli
ance should, in justice to itself, have been
satisfied of tho absolute necessity there
for before it would publish to the world
its opinion that, tried by the test, the in
fallible test of the Olive bill, we had been
found wanting in those qualitie that make
people worthy to be voted for for offices
of honor and trust.
Now, Mr. Editor, that these resolutions
are unjust, let me show by the following
facts: There are severalmistakes of fact
in the preambles on which these resolu
tions are based. Neither the Honston
counl y alfiance, nor any alliance in the
county, nor any other organization of
Houston, ever instructed us on the Olive
bill, or ever expressed any concerted
views on the.subject that were ever pub
lished, or that ever came to our knowl
edge as representatives. It does seem
that Mr. Jones should have known this,
I commend to Mr. Jones the-propriety of
finding facts npon which to found his
resolutions. Facts make a much better
bottom for sensational and slashing res
olutions than even the bounding imagi
nation of Mr. Jones. I have carefully in
vestigated this matter since the publica
tion of the Jones resolutions, and I find
from correspondence with the secretaries
of the county alliance that no such action
or Instruction as Mr. Jones speaks of in
his immortal resolutions were ever pass
ed. Mr. Jones thus enjoys the honor of
having committed the county alliance to
the severest censure of representatives
for not obeying instructions that were
never issued. Nay, more; Mr. Jones
tripped np the county alliance in refer
ence to Senator Sanford forinducingit to
condemn him for voting against the Olive
Bill, when, in fact, the bill never saw the
senate. Verily, Mr. Jones, with his reso
lutions, would seem to be an unsafe lead
er. I wish to state here, for myself, that
I was never more surprised than by the
assertion in the resolutions that we had
been instructedin this matter. I had the
honor to discuss the Olive Bill in a speech
I made in April last at a dinner of the
county alliance, and I frankly explained
the state of my mind to be that of very
grave uncertainty as to the wisdom of the
provisions of the bill, although the object
professed by the bill was one that enlist
ed my heartiest approval, being an ob
ject that I would ever strive by practica
ble means to promote. And privately
with many prominent citizens did I dis
cuss this measure; with alliancemen, and
others, and found as much divergence o:
views among alliancemen and farmers as
among merchants and doctors.
So far from hearing of any concerted
views by the alliance on the subject, I
was informed by a prominent county al
liance official thatthe alliance was op
posed to tho bill, as they thought it a
harmful measure.
Now, Mr. Editor, I do not wish to be
understood as abusing Mr. Jonas, or as
lecturing the alliance. I have respect
for Mr /ones, although he does not seem
to think it important to know anything
about the facts of the case when he starts
out with his abusive resolutions. I havo
the very highest respect for the county
alliance, and think that some of them
were betrayed into what l am sure they
themselves wi 1 ! acknowledge to be hasty
and unjust action in this matter. One
word more. I have waited several weeks
to write this letter. I have been expect
ing that tfiese resolutions would be pub
lished in the county papers, and being
busy, I concluded to await their publica
tion here before replying, as I desired to
make my letter a reply for all who
might read them. They were immediate
ly printed, and we had no intimation that
we were to be so severely characterized
until their appearance in the Atlanta
Journal and the Alliance Farmer. It is
hard to believe that many of the men
who voted for the resolutions fully real
ized their scope. If they did intend all
that the language of the resolutions im
plies, and if they were willing to public
ly declare of men having heretofore the
reputation of being reasonably honest,
hat tliey were unworthy of honor and
trust, and that without giving them op
portunity to explain the action under
criticism, I do not care to waste your
Epace in appealing to them for anythin,
like a fair and dispassionate hearing,
these men, having readin the sensational
press, abontrampant bribery of tbelegis
lature, believing everyirresponsible squib
they saw, have reached the conclusion
that all the legislature were bought, and
that particularly the members from
Houston sold out to the railroads, I do
not address this letter to them, for they
are too prejudiced and too narrow to
give any credit to what-I may say. I feel
that it is right that I should give an ac-
if my people require it, and 1 am not
complaining of any criticism that might
be made, however severe, of the wisdom
or unwisdom of any action or any vote of
mine in the legislature. All I ask is
fair chance to explain before being un
conditionally condemned; nor am I seek
ing to propitiate votes with a view to the
coming election. While not a candidate
for the legislature, or any other office,
am and expect evertobe a candidate for
the’ esteem and confidence of right-think
ing and generous people of all classes.
Having attempted to dear away what I conceived
to bo these necessary preliininaciea, I propose to
briefly exblain whj I did not vote for th.j Olive
bill.
"What is the Olive bill? Many people wlio discuss
this bill know only that it is a bill designed to p're.
vent railroad monopoly aud oppression. They say
the bill professes to help the people, therefore the
people mnst stick to the bill. How, Mr. Editor,
this were all there is to the Olive bill it would have
been a plain matter as to how we should have
voted. But in legislation every intelligent and
conscientious man must look carefully to sea if
.proposed la .v will accomplish the purpose proposed
by the author. *• Better pass no laws tban bad
laws” is a favorite maxim with thinking men
Hothing is more common in legislation than for
bills, proprosed ior the very best purposes,
defeated overwhelmingly by the intelligent, prac
tical sense of the legislature, because -they would
not work out what their authors design as their
purpose- How. I verily believe that there has nev
er been in Georgia a legislature that was
posed of more thoroughly auti-monopoly men
than the legislature that adjourned last October,
am sure that it passed more, and more stringent
lawp, for the regulation of railroads than any legis
lature in Georgia’s history. Ho legislation that
was proposed for regulating railroads, for control!’
ing rates, for imposing taxation npon them, for re
quiring prompt shipments and prompt settle,
meats, etc., was defeated unless -dearly impracti.
eabie. It has been attempted in every legislature
since 1878 to tax railroads. This was never accom
plished until the present legislature did it. By
this law railroads pay county taxes in every county
through whichr'lliey paso upon their property and
roadbed, just as other citizens*.^ Houston eounty
will get a large addition to its taxes from this
source. Of coucsethe railroads fought this bill
before the committee in every way possible, but
passed by a large majority. This legislature also
passed a law extending tho powers of the Railroad
Commission vastly by what is known as the joint
rate bill, so that now the Commission can abso
lutely control and fix rates over any number of
connecting roads in tho state. Over the very
strongest protest from the railroads this bill be
came a law by the almost unanimous vote of the
legislature. Those two acts alona marked a great
advance in railroad legislation, but in addition
the*e were passed a number of bills to require
railroads to provide more speedy and more equita
ble methods in their dealings with the people,
which I will not now consume space in recounting
in detail.
now, Mr. Editor, I am aware • that I nave tres
passed sufficiently upon ynur courtesy for unco,
but with your consent I beg leave to complete this
letter in one farther communication in your next
issue, in which I will wish to discuss the Olive bill
proper, and give the reasons that influence l my
vote and that of my colleague, Mr. Holtzdaw.
Very truly, -
