HODGES,'Editor and Publisher Perky, Thursday, Febbuaby 12. The present congress will expire, by limitation, on the 4th of March next. Geobgia is constantly adding to the weight of evidence that the grand name, Empire State of the South, justly belongs to her. It is disgusting to -note tn at some Georgia editors abuse Jay Gould when he is in New York, and “slobber” over him when he is in Georgia. Blaine has certainly scored a victory over the other republican • aspirants for the presidency, in se curing the trade treaty with Bra zil, under the reciprocity clause of the tariff bill. The legislature of North Caroli na is considering a bill to establish a railroad commission for that state, with powers similar to the commission thac regulates railroad rates in Georgia. The reporters who are writing so much about Jay Gould should bear in mind that he is veryjnuch like a lump cf gold in one respect. No person is made richer by rub bing up against it. It is an absurd and unjust law that allows a defeated party to leg- iglate for the people several months after the principles of that party have been repudiated at the polls by an overwhelming majority. The democrats in several north ern and western states are advoca ting a constitutional amendment providing for the election of Uni ted States Senators by direct vote of the people. Correct and just, Gov. Hill knows a good thing when he sees it, consequently he is loth to relinquish the governorship of New York, until' he is compell ed to by the necessity of assuming the duties United States Senator. Cebtainly the extremes meet iu the provisions of the McKinley tariff law. The rate of taxation on imports is extreme protection, and the reciprocity clause gives free trade straight-out* whenever the administration is inclined to make such a treaty. It is intensely pleasing to re publican politicians for democratic editors and correspondents to per sist in depicting Cleveland and Hill as bitter antagonists. Politi cally speaking, it is democratic folly, next to democratic defeat,- ±hat gives republicans greatest pleasure. llligi The newspapers are again offi ciously meddling with the name of Miss Winnie Davis.. .Within the last ten days she has been reported to be engaged to marry two differ ent-persons, one of them a citizen of New Orleans, the other of Ma con, Ga. Such-reports are not in good taste, and show the lack of gentlemanly courtesy. No report er should take such liberties with the name of a lady, unless distihct- ly authorized. ifs Ebee trade between the United States and Brazil has been estab lished, to a limited extent. The treaty was concluded at Washing ton last week, by authority of the reciprocal clause iu the McKinley tariff law. The agreement between the two republics allows sugar, nfplasses, cofee and hides from Brazil to enter our ports free of duty, and in ium * United States corn, flour, wheat;:' rye, .pork, and other farm products are allowed to. enter Brazilian , ports free. This is Blaine’s scheme, and efforts ■will be made to extend the reci procity scheme to other neighbor ing countries. The Alliance Fanner Condemned. Eor some time past it has been rumored that prominent alliance^ men in Georgia were dissatisfied with the coarse of the Alliance Farmer, published in Atlanta. Last Thursday evening there was a meeting at the Governor’s mansion in Atlanta. At this meet ing there were in attendance, Col. J. O. Waddell* president of the State Agricultural society, Bev. Dr. Gibson, of Oglethorpe, Hon. George H. Jones, principal keeper of the penitentiary, Cspt. B. E. Bark, of Macon, Hon. Bobert A. Bead, of Eatonton, Hon. Paul B. Trammell, of Dalton, Mr. VV. G. Whidbyj of Atlanta, Governor Northsn and quite a number of oth er leading alliancemen. The conference was lengthy, and it is safe to say that the subject was thoroughly discussed. As the result of that meeting the follow ing preamble and resolutions have been given to the public: “Whereas, We are reliably in formed that the Southern Alliance Farmer, after repeated solicita tions, has not yet filed with the executive committee of the state Alliance the bond required before it shall become the official organ of the alliance, and' Whereas, It’s editor, Mr. Har ry C. Brown, has stated to mem bers of this conference that the paper has been used by officials in the state nlliance for personal ends, and whereas, the paper has declined to publish matter in the interest of the order, when solicit ed to do so by alliancemen. and whereas, the course of the paper, in our opinion, has been constant ly detrimental to the best interests of the order, therefore Besolved, That we henceforth withdraw our indorsement from the Southern Alliance Farmer, and ask its condemnation by. alliance- men throughout the state. Besolved, second, That the chairman of this conference shall appoint a committee whose duty it shall be to arrange for the publica tion of a suitable paper in which shall be advocated the principles and purposes of the alliance. Besolved, third, That we will give our hearty support to such publication, and that we ask for it the indorsement and patronage of allianemen in this state until suit able arrangements can be made for the publication of a state organ by -the state alliance." The name of Mr. W. C. Gunn, of the Cuthbert Liberal-Enter prise, has been nsed in connection .with the editorship of the proposed new alliance paper. It is not unlikely that Editor Brown has given good cause for complaint, but the gentlemen who propose to start a new paper will find it up-hill work to crush the Farmer and perch triumphantly upon its remains. We have not been able to stand cheek-by-jowl with the Farmer, but have seen much to condemn in its columns. However, the fight for the farmers has been apparent ly honest, and its large circulation stands now as a bulwark of safety and strength. Then, the recent change of ownership, and the ad dition of Harry Gannt to its edi torship will materially assist the Farmer in resisting the attacks of the dissenters. The fight will be a lively ore, and we fear it will be hurtful to the alliance order in Georgia. News of Powersville and Vicinity. 3T BEPOBTED BY “DUPLIN.” The latest and most interesting sensation in .this community just now, is the visit to Georgia of Mr. A. W. Fisher, secretary and ireas- tfier of the-Chnrch Cart, Carriage and Harness Manufacturing Com pany, of St. Paul, Minnesota. This is an extensive manufactur ing establishment, and is well known to many citizens cf this county, as the goods of the compa ny have been nsed iu the county a number of years. The object of the visit of Mr. Fisher is to transfer the plant und business of the company to Macon, Ga. This, he proposes to do, upon the condition that the people of Georgia will take stock in the en terprise to the amount of that now invested by tlie company. This would double the amount of invest ed stock, and more than double the working capacity, and the output of the manufactured goods. It is proposed also, that-the goods manufactured by the compa ny shall be sold directly to the users, or consumers, aDd ndt through agencies, or by drummers, thus saving to the users or con sumers, the expense of selling throngh the latter channels. The stock to be taken by the people is divided into shares of $50 each, and it is expected that alliancemen, generally, will take stock; though the proposition is not confined to alliancemen, but is open to all. There are many ad vantages (of which I have not time or space to speak, or detail) to the people of Georgia, -and ad jacent states, connected with this enterprise It is therefore hoped that they will look into the matter, and avail themselves of these ad vantages. Several shares have been ta ken in this count}’. Mr. Fisher went from this place to Fort Val ley, and thence to Atlanta, to con fer with Gov. Northen, and with the heads ot the alliance depart ment of the state. This is Mr. Fisher's, first visit south. He expresses himself being delighted with the south, and with the southern people, and is extremely anxious to come and live among them. He is charmed with our climate, he finds it so dif ferent from that of - the snow-clad, ice-fettered regions in which he lives. Feb. 9th 1891. Obituary. Bev. Sam Jones, the Georgia evangelist, had a fight with the mayor of Palestine, Texas, one day last week. Last November, during a series of religions meetings held at Palestine, Mr. Jones severely criticised the town government, in cluding the mayor. Last week Bev. Sam Jones was again in Pal estine, and the mayor met him at the depot and attacked him with a stick. Mr. Jones wrested the stick from the mayor’s hands, and in turn used it vigorously. Both were biood^ when separated. No seri ous damage. Evidently the evan gelist is not-of the meek and lowly sort. The mayor of Palestine was pnblidy condemned by citizens of the town, and asked .to resign. The preacher is condemned, by public opinion throughout tlie country, for his rough style of speech. He seems to he.careless that his words and manner in the pulpit constant ly invite personal attacks. Gov. Nobthen honored himself andrGeorgia when he declined to attend a Complimentary reception to Jay Gould, teudered by the city council of ,, Atlanta. As he said, Gould “visited Georgia in his own interests, without regard for the interests of the people,” and it would have been inappropriate for the governor to attend a reception given in his- honor. We-agree with Gov. Northen that .Gould’s methods, as practiced in other states; would not develop Georgia on the line of the public good. Hurrah for Gov. Northen! Died in Macon, January 23d, 1891, after ah illness of a few days, little Plt-.man Clifford, infant son of Mr. and Mrs. J. G_ Dorsett, aged one year arid three months, Thus it has pleased an Allwise Providence to take away this little augel, the idol of an affectionate father and a devoted mother. He was a beautiful and interesting boy; only a few weeks ago the pic ture of health. His death was a severe shock to his fond parents, who had all done ihat could be, to save him. Alas! their efforts only proved how vain is human skill when death has claimed its victim May God give grace to help the dear mother and father to bear cheerfully this sore bereavement; may it be sanctified to their spirit ual and eternal good. To them- we tender our heartfelt sympathy, well Knowing that noth ing can ever supply or efface the vacancy in their hearts, caused by the loss of little Clifford; who had been loaned them long enough for them to learn to x love him; then God saw fit to : take him to His throne above, where he is waitin your coming. But the sweet thought of your little darling being better off, should console your troubled hearts. Remember that God has taken him to a Home where sorrows and sin never visit, and his sweet voice is praising the Lamb eternal in the Heavenly choir. “Another little lamb has gone To dwell with Him who gave; Another little darling babe Ib sheltered in a-grave. ~ God needed one more angel child Amidst His shining band; And so He bent with loving .smile And clasped orir darling’s hind. This lovely bud, so voting, so fair, Called hence, by early doom; Just came to show how sweet a flower In paradise would bloom. 'Ere sin could harm or sorrow fade Death came with friendly care; The opening bud to Heaven conveyed And bade it blossom there.” A Friend. Wellston, Ga., Jan. 30th 1891. Eeheconnee News. PHZLYX. We nrri having a great- deal of rain here, and on this account the farmers are eompiainiug of being backward with, their field work. if the weather is dry next sum mer they mil probably complain of being behind with thair money matters, on account of the drouth. The farmers are a hard set of people to please. Many of them are inquiring of ns as to what has become of the Holtzclaw public school bill that was promised to be enacted into a law by the legisla ture. All that I cas say is that it reminds me of old times, before the v.ar, when I was a little boy: I remember an honest old farm er who had never owned a horse, but earnestly desired to have one that really belonged to him. He bought a horse—a blind horse— for which he paid $10. On Sunday after the horse was carried home several children were there visit ing the farmer’s boys. They all went to the lot to sea trie blind horse. While on the fence, one of the little -boys exclaimed with pride: “We’ve got a horse, and he’s got sense! Now look at him, he knows where he’s going.” All I can say to the inquiring pnblic is, we’ve got legislators, and they’ve got sense. Jnst look at them and see what- they have done during the time they were in At lanta—nearly forty days. We can’t pretend to guess what they will do when they return. We can only judge the future by the past, and that amounts to nothing for the farmer. Just a word or two to the “Boss,’ of Bonaire. Wo have no cook, Boss, Nor any time to spare, To cook cabbago for you, Boss. And Bring them to Bonaire. We'll bring the cabbage, Boss, Anil Bring them to you raw, If you can’t cook them, Boss, You can make them into slaw. You can lie down to rest, Boss, And blow the candle out; Wo will have the cabbage, Boss, Without a fear or doubt. So come to see us, Boss, Come without a doubt. We’ll show yon tho cabbag, Boss And blow the candle out. Feb. 9th 1891 This congress will not enact law providing for the free coinage of silver, though the senate passed the bill several weeks ago. The New York Press says that Harri son will veto any such bill that'the 51st congress may pass. It has been demonstrated in congress!that a majority of the people desire, the ft-pe coinage of silver, but the en actment of such’a law is prevented by the republicans in the House of Representatives who acknowledge Speaker Beed as- their master. The coinage committee -(.largely republican) will not report the Senate bill, and Seed’s arbitrary ruling prevents its consideration any other way. Fourt stores in Macon, on Sec ond street, were destroyed by fire last Friuay morning. The stores belonged to Messrs. C. B. Willing ham, E. J. Willingham, 0. P. Wil lingham and W. H. Felton. They were occupied by J. W. Burke & Co.,- musical goods, J. T. Dnnn, shoe store, Stoberg & Son, Brady- crotine Co., B. E. Park and others. The loss aggregated about $50,- 000, nearly covered by insurance.
