Thebe was a riot bet .veen Amer
ican and Italian laborers at a mine
near Wheeling, West Va., last
Monday. - One person . was killed
outright, and several ..others mor
tally wounded. It is said the troub
le was-started by an Italian strik
ing an American foreman with an
iron bar.
The grand jury at^Tew Orleans
defended the citizens^ who lynched
the Italians on March 14th, instead
of indicting them. This fact fur
ther incensed the Italian govern?
'ment. The Italian consul at New
Orleans denounced the city and
county authorities, and he has
been recalled by the government
at Rome.
The report from the agricultu
ral department at Washington,
May 1st,'says the proportion of
cotton planted up to that date was
more than the average for several
years. Florida shows the largest
average, 92; Alabama and Georgia
next, 80; Virginia lowest, 40.
Nearly all states'report planting
one or two weeks late, due to the
excessive rainfall in February, and
March, and following dry weather.
A NEW PAKTY NOT NEEDED.
There is no donbt of the fact
that the alliance talk of a third po
litical parly is causing, uneasiness
in the democratic and republican
camps. ' This is mainly becaase of
'the uncertainty as to from which
of the old parties would the new
one draw the. greater portion of its
strength.
In the South the democratic par
ty would furnish nine-tenths of the
supporters of the new parly, and
in the West its greatest strength
would come from men who have
affiliated with the republican par
ty, bat are now inclined to join
forces with the democratic party.;
, The discussions so far are rath
er general as to any proposed line
of policy, the demand being in
general terms for relief from the
burdens that rest so grievously
upon the farmers of the country.
To us it seems that the alliance-
men would defeat their main pur
pose by forming a new party,
that they cannot hope to v seeure
control of the government, and hy
the division of strength would
make it improbable, if not impraCr
ticable, for either party to secure
the relorms demanded.
It would be useless for the alli-
ancemen to hope that the new pari
ty could he successfully placed in
the field on a platform that woold
please the farmers of .all. the states
There are many members of the
order who do not now endorse the
sub-treasury plan, and there are
other difference'sjthat a new party
could not harmonize.
As it is,’the democratic party is
working zealously for the people,
demanding tariff reform and
financial readjustment in accord
with the needs of the farmers.
A third party would so cripple
the democratic party as to render
it donbtfnl of success in the next
contest with the chances largely in
favor of the-republicans.
There is no need for a third
party.
BONAIRE ITEMS.
BY THE BOSS.
The farmers of this section are
going ahead with their work. Some
of them are through chopping cot
ton, while those who planted late
nave not commenced. Stands of
cotton are good, with a few excep
tions.
The oat crop will be almost
failure in some parts of the county,
on account of dry weather.
The melon crops around"Bonaire
are looking well.
J. M. Pitts and several other
melon growers of Bonaire, attend
ed the meeting of the Macon Fruit
and Vegetable Exchange last Sat
urday at Macon. I think the in
tention of the exchange is the very
thing for the growers, if they can
handle enough of the crop to pre
vent a glnt in the markets.
The man who meant business at
the meeting walked into the hall
with a melon vine six inches long
pinned to the gable end of his
pants, arid demanded of the secre
tary a cheap railroad rate back to
his station. The gentleman saw
the vine, and asked no questions.
Those who desire sassafras roots
to make tea, will do well to call on
R. G. Watson. He offers to fur
nish a grubbing hoe and give any
one all he can dig, so as to get
them oat of his cotton.
To tho great delight of Judge
Ring, his wife has returned home
from a visit to-, her daughter in
Florida. She-had been absent
three weeks,'and I have been in
formed she received 34 letters
while there, and 6 were on the way
when she returned.
I understand Mr. J. N. Barker
has already worn oat two hoes in
his small crop of cotton this Sea
son. This shows what a man can
do when he trie9, Mr. B. is swift
with a hoe, and it takes my best to

The Wqrld’s fair convention in
Atlanta last week was attended by
delegates from a large majority of
the counties in Georgia, represent
ing all classes of the people. It
was the unanimous opinion of the
convention that Georgia should be
fully represented at the.‘World's
fair, and that the state should pro
vide the : means to secure that rep
resentative exhibit. A resolution
was adopted requesting tb» legis
lature to appropriate 8100,000 for
that purpose, and a committee was
appointed, one.from each congres
sioaal district, and two from the
state at large, to see that the mat
ter is proparly considered.
The total membership of the
Young Men’s Christian Associa
tion in the United States is 225,-

libraries, with 500,000 books, ^and
its indebtedness is less than §2,-

in nice fix. Mr. Joe Q. Ellis has

The oat crop has been promis
ing, bat is now suffering for rain
—in fact, we wonld like to have a
season fer all kinds of crops.
There will be a scattering peach
crop in this section, bat the apple
and grape crops promise to be
good, and black berries will be
abundant. Well, this is all right,
as sugar is cheap and milk is'plen-
tifnl, and this kind of food is good
enough for anybody when it is fix
ed np into what we used to call in
by gone days blackberry tarts.
It is now an .assured fact that a
gaano factory J will be established
at Grovania of home capital. The
gentlemen § who are interested in
this enterprise are live, practical
and wide-awake men. In connec

ton seed oil mill, grist mill and
four sixty saw gins to gin cotton.
Plans for the buildings have been
prepared and submitted to the
company.' The location was snr-
yeyed'last. Saturday; the material
is now being placed upon the
ground, and the contractors will
begin work to-day. This factory,
when properly opened and put in
coarse of development, will be one
of the largest and most promising
enterprises of its kind in the state.

The question, “When will i$
rain,” is aB often asked now as the
question, “When will it quit rain
ing,” was asked some time ago.
Those farmers who have neither
a stand of corn nor cotton, ar.e
manifesting much anxiety updi
the subject.
Of late years the newspapers
have had much to say about model
farmers, and in this connection I
desire, in order to do. our part of
the country justice, and for the
benefit of ^mankind generally, to
say that we have a model farmer
in onr community (perhaps more
than one). He says lie has to
stop plowing and feed his mule
before 1 dark; that if he waited till
after dark to feed, his corn pile is
so small he would never find it.
And that even this early in the
season he is feeding without any
fodder at all; that before he was
aware of what was going on, a mis
chievous old gander on his place
had, by poking his head through
the cracks of the fence enclosing
his fodder, eaten it all. He says
his oats are so small that he is ad
vertising for a suitable pair of
scissors to cut them with. He fur
ther says that he might strip them
and save seed, bat by this means
he would lose the straw, and on ac
count of the scarcity of forage, the
loss of the straw is a sacrifice he
cannot well Afford to make.
He says the best-way to keep
weevils from eating much corn on
a farm, is to keep it in a small log
house, with cracks large enough
to admit a free current of air, and
not to haye mnch corn in the
house. He says this has been his
experience.
While this model farmer’s name
is Hartley, if should be distinctly
stated that he is in no way related
to the Mr. Hartley who is acquir
ing such world-wide notoriety by
reason of hip unfortunate tilt with
Rube Smith’s ram.
Recently there have been sever
al deaths among the colored chil
dren of this community, resulting

HENDERSON ITEMS.
BY SOPHY REELS.
We are still dry and dusty. There
has been no rain in onr -communi
ty in something like six weeks,
and things are beginning to look
very bine. Crops that were plant
ed late are not coming up. at all,
and I know of considerable cotton
that is still nnpianied. The sweet
potatoe beds are full of sprouts
generally, bnt they are looking
wilted, and I am fearful that they
will die outright, unless we have
rain soon. The oat crop is almost
a total failure, and I don’t think
rain wonld benefit it much if it
were to come now. I saw oats that
were 30 inches high and heading
oat, bat there was no grain in the
heads; it was all chaff.
There is a fair quantity of peach
es on the trees in onr community,
and a good lot of plums. The
pears were about all killed. The
blackberry crop, I think, will be a
good one if we get rain anytime
soon.
The gardens in our vicinity are
extremely poor. I don’t think
ever saw them as poor at this time
of the year. Irish potatoes are
poor also, aud this is one of the
main-stays with me, as I am very
fond of them.
The Sunday School Association
was a very pleasant affair. There
was a nice crowd, aud a nice time
was the result.
Dr. Tharp filled his regular ap

There is some sickness iu

Now and then, daring these sul
try spring days, the heat is relieved
by a passing breeze. We mop onr
dewy brows and exclaim, “how
nice!” This reminds us that the
heat of hard times has only been re
lieved by the “breezy” prices we
have “originated” and “establish
ed.” We quote the words, because
they represent purely what we have
done. The same exclamation,“how
nice,” is a common expression with
in the walls of our store, and it
comes every time from -delighted
customers, who adopt it/as an ex
pression of the delight at our goods
and prices. There’s no use talking,
wo have certainly got the clothing,
the hats, the children’s suits, the
furnishing goods, and everything
that goe3 with a first class clothing
house. So. why shouldn’t we do
the business? Others say they have
the same, but why don’t they do
the trade? The answer is plain,
Either the goods are faulty, or the
prices. Both must match. -You
can’t combine pcior goods and high
prices. If you liave shoddy goods,
you will do well to give ’em away.
If you have good goods, you must
make the priefes moderate. That’s
the only combination that goes. And
that’s the way we do it. Tho secret’s
yonr’s now, and all we ask for tell
ing you, is that you show your good
judgment by taking advantage of
it. Others have done it, and why
not you?/' Your money is worth as
much as their’s. and will go as far.

you big,drives in everything apper
taining/to clothing or furnishing
