ALLIANCE NEWS.
The hardest blow received by
the jute trust was delivered by the
sturdy farmers of Georgia. Ac¬
cording to tho report of the state
agricultural department, over one
half the last cotton crop in
state was wrapped in cotton bag¬
ging. Hit the trust
con Telegraph.
Last year’s -wheat crop was 75
000,000 bushels larger than that of
the year before, but it brought
$2,000,000,000 less money; and the
corn crop was 125,000,000 bushels
less, and it brought $75,000,000
less. The rule did not work both
ways. The farmer lost coming
and going, and he generally does
under our present financial system.
As soon as the resignation was
accepted ,Mr. Corput nominated
Hon. W. L. Peek, of Conyers, to
take his place upon the board of
directors. Mr. Peek was unani¬
mously elected, and then was
unanimously chosen president of
the Exchange.
There are very few people in
Georgia who do not know Broth¬
er W. L. Peek. It is useless for
us to go into any lengtlily des¬
cription of the man or his record.
Suffice it to say that the man and
his record are both pure.
Brother Peek has recently been
extensively advertised as Geor¬
gia’s champion corn raiser, but
his principal success has been in
the planning and management of
co-operative enterprises. The
success of the co-operative oil
mill and guano factory at Conyers
is due to his energy and business
foresight. The Alliance’store at
Conyeas would have been a fail¬
ure, but W. L. Peek with his en¬
ergy and organizing power be¬
hind it, and made its last year’s
business a success, "and has now
merged it into an Alliance stock
company, which is bound to save
thousands for that section.—
Southern Alliance Farmer.
The Alliance jubilee at Valdos¬
ta, in Lowndes county, last Wed¬
nesday, is pronounced by the
Southern Alliance Farmer to have
been the grandest success ever
seen in Georgia. There ivere
7,000 to 10,000 people in tOAvn,
coming from eight or ten counties
in Georgia, and several in Flori¬
da. Hon. W. J. Northern made
the principal speech in the fore¬
noon. At the conclusion of his
speech, a couple from the coun¬
try, Mr. John Ogletree and Miss
Dalton Pounds, were married in
cotton bagging on the speaker’s
stand. An immense dinner was
sorv'ed on a table 1,200 feet long.
After dinner, Col. Livingston
spoke one hour, and gave tho Al
liancemen and others present a
characteristic speech. His elo¬
quence was frequently interrupted
by loud applause.
Alliancemen in Politics.
A dispatch from Montgomery
to the New York Times gives a
glowing account of the growth of
the Farmers’ Alliance in Alabama
and says that the influence of the
order is growing in that state. It
also says that the lecturer of the
organization for Alabama, Mr. A.
B. Brussel, recently made a speech
in which he advised the Alliance
men to vote only for men who will
carry out the principles of their
order, regardless of the Demo¬
cratic or Republican parties. The
correspondent says further that
this council is openly repudiated
by many members of the alliance
who say they will leave it rather
than folloAv an independent po¬
litical movement. We have no
doubt that such is the sentiment
of the great body of alliancemen
in Alabama, Georgia and the
other states of the South. There
are, of course, demagogues in the
organization who hope to ride
into power by its support, but
their purpose is pretty well un¬
derstood by the farmers as well as
people outside the alliance. The
worst enemy of the order could
devise no surer means for its
overthrow than its conversion into
a political machine. Mr. Brassell
appears to be a very poor lecturer.
If all his ideas are as bad as that
relating to the political duty of
the alliance he is not a worthy
representative of the farmers of
Alabama. The alliance can help
the farmers; it has done so al¬
ready. But this benefit has been
wrought by a strict adherence to
the avowed principles ofthe order
by cordial co-operation in econ¬
omic matters, by mutual helpful¬
with partisan politics,
the man who would incumber
it with any, though he may be
carried away by a mistaken zeal,
is the worst enemy of the order.
In the South especially, the idea
that the alliance ought to set it¬
self up as a political party is rep¬
rehensible. The Alabama’alliance
ought to lecture its lecturer.

OUR LITTLE GRIEFS.
Tho train stopped suddenly
between two stations. Several of
the passengers rushed out of the
car excitedly and came back with
the tidings that there was an ob¬
struction on the track that would
cause the delay of an hour.
The countenances of most of
the passengers instantly fell into
tho depths of gloom and des¬
pair.
“This is simply intolerable!’’
muttered one middle-aged man to
his companion, “I shall not
reach the city before the market
closes. It will cost me two or
three thousand dollars.’’
A physician dropped his news¬
paper and paced immediately up
and down the car.
“An hour late with all my pa¬
tients!” he exclaimed.
“Are any of them in immediate
danger?”
“No. But an hour late! It is
unbearable!”
A young girl looked at her
companions with the tears in her
eyes. “I am going into town for
the trimming for my dress. Now
it will not be done in time. I
shall have to wear my old blue to
the party.”
A short, pompous old man
talked loudly and incessantly,
scolding conductors and brake
men, as if they wero personally
responsible for the delay.
“I am to lecture this afternoon
before the lyceuin,” he exclaimed,
in hot indignation.
“The audience will have to
wait twenty minutes!”
A young man sat immovable,
his head bent upon his brest, his
face set and hard.
“My little boy is dying,” he
said to some one who questioned
him; “I was telegraphed for. I
shall not see him alive.”
But while with most of the
passengers there was a secret
conviction that the wheels of the
universe had stopped because
they were delayed in their pur¬
suits or work, one woman sat si¬
lent and tranquil.
She was near the end of a long
life of pain and hardship and
wide experience. She had come,
too, near enough to the God who
ruled over all lives to understand
how every event and accident,
great or little, has its place and
purpose in the eternal order, as
have motes floating in the sun¬
shine. She was close enough to
the gate of the future life to see
how little in its infinite height
and meaning was tho old ball
dress, or tho fall of stocks, or
even the loss of an hour with the
dying child.
“One of the most singular
studies in life,” says Bouchet, “is
to note how different men, each
with his own scales, weigh the
same objects and attach to them
different values.”
The lost bit of finery which
brought tears to the eyes of the
school-girl was lighter than a
feather iu the eyes of the stock¬
broker; and his loss of thousands
was contemptible to the man
whose child was going from him
into the grave without a word;
and doubtless his pain seemed
momentary and trivial in the vis¬
ion of angels, to whom a thousand
years are as a day, and death but
a momentary change of life.
How, then, are we to find the
trueweight and value of things in
the world?
In the United States
when they built a machine
weighing coin with absolute ac¬
curacy, they sank a shaft deep
into the earth and through
formations, which are shaken by
passing jars, and rested the
foundation upon the immovable
granite beneath.
The man who digs in this way
to find a foundation for his life,
through the flowers and surface
growths which shake with every
storm, to the everlasting Rock be¬
low, only can weigh the events
and belongings of the world at
their v alue.—Youths Companion.

writes: "My wife had a very severe cough -with
pains in the side and breast. We tried all the
various cough medidlnea to be had in this neigh
borhood; but none of them did her any good
until I got a bottle of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral’
which has almost cured her. I have no doubt bv
the time she takes another bottle she will be en¬
tirely well. A neighbor, Mrs. Glenn, had the
measles, and the cough was relieved by the use of
Ayer’s Cher

to every one afflicted with a cough.”
