Bbethben:
I wish that I coiffil sayso'm'etLihg
ordo something to-day to stimulate,
encourage and cheer every farmer
present. The earnest aid : of every
man who wishes to add to his own
enjoyment, or wishes to be useful
to others, should be enlisted in -ev
erything in the line of real prog
ress and higher development, and
which looks to higher civilization,
commerce, or agriculture..
We should believe in patriotism,
and love one’s country, but onr
hearts should center around onr
own local home, and should engage
the choicest energies of onr na
tures to bring about the most sat
isfactory results. Born in the
South, identified with it by resi
dence and family ties, I love her
history, customs and institutions.
1 appreciate her great capacity, her
virtues and advantages, her neces
sities and mistakes; we have much
to admire and much to regret and
deplore. The South bus done and
is still doing a vast work, but she
must do still more. She e'xcels in
location and climate, in variety
of soil, diversity of£ production,
beauty of landscape, grandner
of scenery, mountains, rivers, val
ley air and water. We have a grand
inheritance, but our fathers had a
better. They found the South . a
land of forests, flowers and ver
dure. They left it worn and bar
ren.
One great object of the Alliauce
is to stop this deteriorating pro
cess, to repair the’ waste and to
improve our exhausted soil. This
is a work that is immediate and
imme.nse. Much progress has been
made,"and we shonld'feel encour
aged to go on. Our farmers are
pouring back u^ion the bosom of
mother earth the elements of which
our ancestors drained her, and she
makes a generous response by in
creased productiveness. The old
washed away hills are changing
color and renewing their pristine
youth and vigor; the huge gullies
that yawned in ugliness and aban
donment are filling up and smooth
ing their rough points,and forsaken
fields, are once more to rejoice with
abundant crops of corn, cotton,
grain and fruits. .
We should endeavor to correct
the investment of capital, and the
proper division and pay of labor,
local improvements, wise legisla
tion and the general diffusion of
knowledge. We should take judi
cious interest in local and national
politics, jnd study the economic
questions of the hour, assist, ad
vise and instruct one another. Ev
erybody eligible should join and
attend our Alliance meetings, take
such papers and read such books
as will encourage agriculture and
home support, exchange social and
cheerful sentiments, create new
ideas, diffuse information, correct
popular errors, suggest improve
ment^ and magnify and ennoble
this most noble and useful employ
ment of man. We should confer
with each other, learn what labor
is doing, what machinery and im
proved implements can do, how art
and-intelligence can convert the
worthless into the useful. Punct
ual attendance upon onr meetings,
discussions and convei sations will
improve and elevate ' all who at--
tend, listen and observe, and will
incite us to find new avenues for
labor and enterprise, new forms of
investment, and enable us to make
ourselves more generally nseful.
We should not only’ attend our
meetings, bat should visit onr
neighbors,'observe their systems
and mode of farming, learn that all
human interests are closely re
lated, that selfishness is a crime
and a curse. We should exalt and
benefit others and thus ennoble
ourselves; improve and beantify
onr homes, it will increase onr own
self-respect and affection for onr
families and regard for onr neigh
bors. Do all we can to make farm
ing profitable and popular; by all
means learn to produce what we
consume, and we will live better,
save more money, regenerate onr
lands more rapidly and grow rich
er and happier. We should give
our personal supervision and in
telligent direction and authority to
our farm operations, and do not
fear the smutty end of the chunk.
We should make our homes the
homes of hospitality, intelligence
and refinement, and by every man
ner of means encourage our young
men to. settle on the farms instead
of hunting employment in our al
ready too much crowded towns

NOT ABUSE-NOT VILLIFICATION
Monroe Advertiser.
Just now when political revoln
tion is threatening, and the spirit
of dissolving party affiliations
taking hold to an extent’ among
democrats, we would suggest that
abuse and villification are not the
leverages with which to pry us out
of whatever difficulties that may
exist. This spirit grows out of
grievances that are rendering some
democrats restive; grievances that
are not imaginary, but are real
and of long standing. Anxiety to
redress these grievances are in
clining many democrats to throw
off allegiance to the old democratic
party and try a new party, coming
upon the political arena as the
People’s. Party.
Now the People’s party, if it
grows in the South, must feed upon
and gather strength from the dem
ocratic ranks. While this is true,
yet for those democrats among us
wbo are siding with this new move
ment, we have no harsh or abusive
epiithets." Because we believe they
are honest in their purpose, and
we look upon their movements
an evidence of the sincerity of their
desire to relieve the masses of this
country from the burdens that have
long oppressed them. Their zeal
for this relief begets in them a
seeking for what they conceive to
be the shortest method to obtain it.
Shall we chide, deride and abase
them for this? Qertainly not. Such
proceeding-could but be produc
tive of evil fruits.
Similar zeal actuated democrats
at Baltimore and at Charleston in
I860, and what was the political re
suit? The installing of the repub
lican party in power, which party
has been in power and had control
of the general government every
day from then ’till now. Division
in the democratic ranks there, pro
duced that result then.
May not division among demo-
crats in the South now produce a
similar political abortion? Let us
consider wisely; let us deliberate
without prejudice; let usTeason to
gether calmly; let us view well the
ground upon which we propose to
tread, for we are brothers politi
cally, fighting. in a common cause
and laboring to accomplish the
best results to all. Wherefore
should we divide, scatter, dispute
and wrangle? Rather, let ns pre
serve the pure principles of de
mocracy, upon which this govern
ment has rested securely from its
birth. And if we have brothers*
who, from honest conviction and
honest purpose, are inclined to
wander in untried paths, let ns
not chide, nor deride, nor abuse,
but persuade them to return to the
democratic castle, and within that
bastile fight for" liberty, for free
dom, for “equal rights to all and
special privileges to none.” For
“woe unto him, by whom offences
come.”
and will probably go before the
state board of education upon an
appeal from the decision of the
state school commissioner.
It will be remembered that Com
missioner Bradwell, not long ago,
issued a letter of instruction to the
school commissioner of Washing
ton connty upon this subject, and,
in it, he took the position that, un
der the school law, no institute re
ceiving a part of the school fund
could charge an entrance fee upon
any pretext whatever. This ques
tion has been decided by the Su
preme court, and Commissioner
Bradwell’s letter was very emphat
ic on the subject.
The Washington connty board
of education seems to have disre
garded this letter, for their decis
ion is contrary to it, and the mat
ter now comes before the state
school commissioner in the shape
of an, appeal. Mr. Bradwell took
it np in that form, and made a de
cision yesterday upon the line of
his letter of instructions. He takes
the position that it was not neces
sary for Mr. L. G. Davis, who
brings the appeal, to certify that
he was not able to pay the matric
ulation fee in order to secure the
tuition of his child. The commis
sioner says there is no snch thing
as a “poor schoolfund” in Georgia,
but there is a “common school
fund,” and that a school which re
ceives any part of this fund must
admit children of school age free
of any charge whatever, provided
they are residents. Non-residents
may be required to pay.
The commissioner follows his
decision with an order to the coan>
ty school commissioner of Wash
ington county to withhold the Ten-
nille Institute’s pro rata of the
school fund until the terms of this
decision have been complied with.
The case was. argued for two
hours by Messrs. Harman and Gil
more, attorneys representing the
Tennille Institute, and it is expect
ed that’ they will appeal from the
commissioner’s decision to the
state board of education. That
body is composed of the governor,
the. state school commissioner, the
attorney general and the secretary
of state.
The question is one which con
cerns all schools receiving any
part of the state school fuuJ. This
ruljpg does not reach systems or
ganized under special laws, like
that of Atlanta and other cities,
but it is claimed that this princi
ple will hold good in any school
which receives a dollar from the
state fund. -
The commissioner makes this
rating for boards under his super
vision, but he makes it upon a de
cision of the Supreme court, which
is supposed to have general appli
cation for all schools receiving
money from the state fund.

It is thought in Washington
that England would like to have
settlement of the silver question,
but does not want to appear eager
with respect to the matter for the
reason that she wonld like to dic
tate the terms of £he settlement.
In the meantime, Representative
Springer’s bill to authorize the
holding of an international mone
tary conference, which was intro
duced into the House recently, ap
pears to be growing in favor. The
bill provides that the proposed
conference shall be held in Chica
go, the first meeting to be held on
August 3rd, 1893. It provides al
so that this country shall £ have 21
delegates, seven to be appointed by
the president of the Senate, seven
by the Speaker of the House and
seven by the President. Not more
than four of any one of the groups
of seven are to be of one political
party, and the President’s appoint
ees are not to be office-holders.
From time to time the newspa-
pears in Atlanta and neighboring
cities report the arrest of persons
charged with cheating and swind
ling, larceny after trust, theft, for
gery and similar offences. A
or two later it is frequently an
nounced that the cases have Been

Evidently, the prosecution m

view beyond the collection of a
debt. They do not appear to be
concerned about the violation of
the law, and sometimes violate it
themselves in compounding a! felo
ny. All they care about is the col
lection of their money.
This is simply trifling with the
law, and we have heard judges
sternly rebuke such practices. The

The President’s appointees are to

appointees of the Senate and
House are to receive no compensa
tion.
The President is authorized to
invite governments with which
this country maintains diplomatic
relations to send delegates to the
conference, each government being
free to send as many delegates as
it pleases, but no one of -them to
have more than one vote in the
conference, that vote to be deter
mined by a majority of the dele
gates.
No action of the conference is to
be final, but whatever plan it may
formulate for au adjustment of the
relations between gold and silver
must be submitted to the govern
ments taking part in the confer
ence for their approval.
Until recently it was thoaght
doubtful whether any progress
could be made toward the solution
of the monetary problem by an in :

ally a different view is beginning
to prevail. If England.s^ould join

agree to be bound by its conclu
sions, there would not be much
doubt about a satisfactory result
being reached.
good idea to force them to prose
cute their cases to the end, and,
when the developments justify it,
they in turn should be made to
feel the weight of the laiwfor their
malicious prosecutiou and other
misconduct.
It iff time for our judges to make
creditors plainly understand that
criminal warrants cannot be used
for collecting money, but are de
signed to arrest violators of tbe-
law who must stand their trial. As
matters are now conducted a cred
itor-can .have an innocent .man ar
rested on a criminal charge, and
when the victim is frightened into
paying over a sum of money the
prosecution is dropped. This is
outrageous and should be stopped.
No man has any business to begin
a prosecution unless he is satisfied
that a law has been violated, and
is determined to bring the crimi
nal to justice. The collection o£ a
debt is not of sufficient importance
to justify this attempt .to make our
penal code serve purely personal
and selfish aims.

Washington Irving in “Salma
gundi*” a humorous work, applied
the name to New York to signify
that the inhabitants were given to
undue pretedkions to wisdom. This
definition of the word is taken
from a story regarding the inhabi
tants of Gotham, a parish fy Not-'
tiughamshire, England, who were
as remarkable for their stupidity
as their conceit. The story relates
that when King John was about to
pass through Gotham toward Not
tingham he was prevented by the
inhabitants, who thought the
ground over which a king passed
became forever a public road.
When the king sent to punish
them they resorted to an expedient
to avert their sovereign’s wrath.
According to this, when they ar
rived they found the people each
engaged in some foolish occupa
tion, so they returned to court and
reported that Gotham was a vil
lage of fools. In time a book ap
peared entitled “Certain Merry
Tales of the Mad Men of Gotham.”
Among these tales is the story of
