gWiatwe Patterg. CORRESPOH DEUCE. From Bolton Alliance. At a regular meeting of Bolton Alli ance, No, 1451, at Bolton, Ga., Nov. 23d, 1889, the following preamble and resolu tions were adopted: Whereas, the monopolistic combination known as the jute trust, is conspiring against the farmers of the south, and trying, in a' great measure, to prevent them from enjoying the fruits of honest toil, therefore Resolved, That we buy no guano in 1890, unless put up in cotton sacks, or such substitute for jute as our leaders agree upon. Resolved, That we buy no com, wheat or oats, unless put up in cotton sacks. Resolved, That we hare entered the fight against oppression, monopoly and trusts of all kinds and we propose to win and enjoy the fruits of our industry, which we have gained by the divine in junction, “In the sweat of thy face slialt thou eat bread.” Resolved, That a copy of these resolu tions be furnished The Southern Alli ance Farmer for publication. John Rauchenbekg, Martin Walker, J. W. Donahoo, Com. From Bocks Alliance. If you wili aliow space iii your valua ble columns, which is the bone and sinew of the farmers of Georgia and should be taken by every true Allianoeman. I send for publication resolutions adopted by Rocks Alliance, No. 1515, at their regular meeting, Nov. 2nd. Whereas, Pres. L. F. Livingston, Hon. R. F. Kolb and Col. Sledge request a full expression of all sub-Alliauces whether we continue or discontinue the use of cotton as a covering for cotton in 1890. Be it resolved, that the Rock Alli ance is opposed to combines, monopolies and trusts. That we are in favor of equal rights -o all and special privileges to none. Resolved, That we recommend that the National Farmers and Laborers’ Union of America (with the aid of the state) manufacture cotton bagging of sufficient quantity and texture to cover the entire crop of 1890. I see in my city, (Augusta) that cotton •overed with cotton is very roughly handled, more so than that covered with jute. Brethren, be strong and faithful, and more determined than ever, and let us show to the world we make the cotton and will eover it as we please. LertiaYv tjjk for independence. I think it is high time; We have been hewers of wood and drawers of water long enough. Brethren, do not neglect the grain crop. Sow some every month. Look after the winter manure; it is decidedly the best, provided the stock is well cared for. Raise all your grain and meat. Buy nothing you can do without, and in a few years we will not have to take the price offered for our cotton, but will get onr own price. We will not have mid dlemen to contend with, but sell direct to the spinners, what vie don’t manu facture ourselves. L. A. Reid, Sec. Farmers and Laborers’ Union of America, What is the trouble ? 1. Itis true that bad national legislation has caused 20 per cent, decrease in capi tal invested in agriculture in twenty-five years, during which time capital invested in manufactures increased 60 per cent. 2. It is true that we pay an average of 47 per cent, on all articles of merchan dise. 3. It is true that a combine of million aires bought one wheat crop at 38 per cent., locked it up, and held it until they got $1.30 per bushel, making a profit of $7,000,000. 4. It is true that combines have done the same in regard to oil, coffee, sugar, jute, and even our cotton crop. 6. The Farmers and Laborers’ Union of America combine the only elements sus ceptible of harmonious organization that can successfully resist the Satanic, God provoking combines above mentioned. 6. A failure on the part of European farmers and laborers to do what we arc seeking to accomplish has sent a tidal wave of wretchedness, poverty, misery and bloodshed from sea to sea. To live there is to crave death. The farmers have pledged their land to banks until the banks own the land; hence bankers and down-trodden, poverty-stricken tenants constitute the population of that coun try. The land-owners, to-wit, the bank eft, recently secured the passage of a law to take up and whip 2,000 of these pov erty-stricken wretches. The last ac counts they had flogged 500 of them. My sixth truth is no longer or more startling than true. 7. It is true the God who sees the con dition of the American people a thousand years in the future as well as to-day, has waked us up, giving timely warning and the needed power. Now, my suffering brethren, land-owner or laborer, old or young, rich or poor, sac rifice your time, money or intelligence. Always yield to the majority. There are powerful men of great wealth and influ ence that would divide your order into factions. Don’t attach undue import ance to your own convictions. If we are careless, idle and indifferent, failure and defeat will sound our death-knell. lam acquainted with that noble corps of he roes at the head of the column—Corput, Livingston and others. May God bless them with success in their God-honoring calling. If we suffer the above dark pict ure to become applicable to our God given America, our children will pro nounce us aocursed. R. W. Hamrick. SOUTHEitN ALLIANCE FARMER, ATLANTA, GA., NOVEMBER 29, 1889. SPECIAL NOTICE To the Alliancemen and Farmers of Georgia.

Just twelve months ago there was not au Alliance in the oounty, and now there are eight and we hope to have some more soon. May God in his infinite power crown every effort with success that is made in that direction. We ask our brethren to do their best and do everything to promote the cause. A. J. Gay, Sec.' Called Meeting;. Alliancemen of Franklin, Habersham and Rabun counties are requested to meet at Liberty Hill church, 5 miles south of Toccoa, on Friday, the 20tli of December, in the interest of a joint stock company or co-operative store, at 10 o’clock sharp.

It therefore fol lows that every one should keep Taylor’s Cherokee Remedy of Sweet Gum and Mullein, which will cure coughs, cold and consumption. How to Submit Questions. Augusta, Ga., Nov. 26,1889. To Georgia Alliancemen: Dear Brethren—l beg, for mutual con venience and regularity, that all ques tions arising in your lodges and referred to the Judiciary Committee, be sent up by the sub or county Alliance. This will give authoritativeness to your requests. Fraternally, Martin Y. Calvin. A Peculiar Blunder. A remarkable mistake was made at the opening of the Industrial Fair at To ronto. Sir John Macdonald had made his opening speech ofcongratulaton, and before calling on him to press an electric button starting the machinery, President Withrow invited one or two other speak ers to deliver addresses One of them was John Leys, M. P. for Toronto. He advanced to the front afid laid his heavy white hat right on top of the electric, bu'- tou. Instantly there was a shrieking of whistles and tiie machinery in the build ing began to run. The crowd roared with laughter, and after much gesticula tion and running abo .t the matiagais stopped the proceeding, and the machin ery was re-started by Sir John and Lady Mcdonald. Wliat a Well Known Doctor Says About It Dr. J. S. Pemberton, of Atlanta, Ga., says: “I suffered for sixteen years with rheumatism, often being confined to bed for six months. I used all the remedies known to the medical profession and con salted'the most eminent physicians, ob taining enly temporary relief. I then used Hunnicutt’s Rheumatic Cure, and in 24 hours I was the happiest man in the world, being free from pain. Two hot ties effected a complete cure after every thing else had failed. It is a God-seud to suffering humanity. For sale by all druggists at $1 per pottle. Hunmcutt Medicine Co., Atlanta, Ga., manufact urers.

Well, he hasn’t come, and glanc ing at the clock,” “it’s 10o’clock, and the weather is changing; it will be raining soon.” Sallie walked to the window and looked skyward. “The clouds are com. ing from the south like race-horses; by night there’ll be a deluge. “Madam,” turniug to me impatiently, “what shall we do about the hay? You don’t seem to remember that we gave that darky a dollar a day to cut it, besides you gave him every rag of old clothes you could scrape together, because he told you that pitiful tale about his sick wife, and I know almost that he hasn’t even got a wife, and he begged you out of bushels of cold victuals and buttermilk that our pig ought to have had, and I know he got that white hen that WIT setting down in the grove and more-over, I firmly believe he‘hopped’that fat pig we lost last week, and ” “Sallie, what part of speech is “hopped?’ ” I got up, laid my paper away, and joined her by tiie window. “Well, stole the pig, then, if that’s better English, but the point! want to make is this,” putting her fingers together in argumentative style, “the hay has cost u§ about all of our motley, tnost of oui‘ peteofial property, and a portioh of our live stock already. Now, shall we sit idly here aud see the bay itself goto destruction? This is the day appointed for that po litical meeting at M—, and every darky in the comity will wade through gore to get there; so we will have to get up the hay ourselves, or lose it,” and Sallie put on a very determined air. “Well,” said I, laughing, “do you ex ueetto see the ‘judge come riding down the lane, stroking his horses’ chestnut maue, etc.,’ while we two poetical'Mand Mullers rake in the hay?”« “Oil, fudge, madam, don’t make fut>. I’m serious. Corae on, do,” aud Sallie took up her big sun bonnet and long woolen cloves from the table and started without another word, for the stable. I followed, smiling. “Sallie,” said I, pick ing up a pebble and tossing it at her back, “suppose somebody passing the road here should see us two lone females do ing such masculine work as hauling hay, what would they say? Why, it would be come a tradition to be handed down to posterity." “Posterity! fiddlesticks,” she turned and pushed back the big sunbennet; she looked at me quisically; then striking a tragic attitude, quoted, “what has pos terity ever done lor you or I?" me there. 1 * Flinging the stable door open, she went on, as she jerked the harness down one piece at a time. “Come out of there, Jumbo; here, take this bit, sir; now did you hear that low, muttering thunder back yonder? That means business. Now here,madam, you tie thishamestring and I’ll put on the crupper. Hold your tail out, Jumbo. Seethe rascal bolding bis tail so tight I can’t put on this crup per. Horses have sense; that’s more than can be said of some people. I stop ped at the branch yesterday to let Jumbo drink, aud a bnggyful of girls from M— drove up at the same time, and what do •you think madam, that silly Maud T— asked me to do? ’Why to please ride up to their horse aud let the crupper down so he could drink.”’ i We got Jumbo hitched up tiVht and snug by this time, and Sallie threw along pitch fork into the wagon and climbed in after me, I got the reins first,\ and, stooping over, administered a souufting whack with them on Jumbo’s bayk. How lie did run aoroßs the deep furrowu! and the wagon jolted and jumped, ami swung this way and that; sometimes it turned almost up side down, and still Jumbo increased his speed. Sallie laughed till she cried, asd declared she was all over the wagon at oho time. She finally threatened to impale me on the pitchfork if I did not stop the horse then and there; but Jumbo arranged that by striking one shaft square against a stump. Next thing we knew, both of us were de posited in the potato patch. We walked on and led him after that till we came to where the beautiful new hay lay scat tered and in heaps all over the lower part of the field. Great billowy piles and mounds of sweet, fresh, fragrant hay. Jumbo fell to eating it, while Sallie, with her long, strong, white arms, wielded the pitchfork; she pitched up immense bunches of it into the wagon; piled it up until it waß full and running over, and then she turned to where I lay curled up on au armful of hay that I had thrown under an orange tree. “ Madam, please come and tramp in the hay; the wagon won’t hold any more until this is pressed down.” “ Sallie, you have no idea how becom ing perspiration is to you. There is a big, crystallized,translucent drop right on the tip end of your nose. It’s just beau tiful.” I pushed back her big, old, yellow sun bonnet and gazed at her iu admiration, but bn* soon pus an end to that by cok ing the sharp prongefr fork toward me. I climbed onto that wagon in a burry. “ Now, Sallie,” said I, “ I’ll proceed to illustrate to you bow Maud Muller packed hay iu the wagon. As you observe, there is a poetical way of doing all things. Behold, how this bunch is disposed of,” and I placed about a hundred pounds on Jumbo’s hips. “ Now see this,” and an immense quantity was laid around the rim of the wagon; and as she continued to lift up one large bunoh after another I transferred it quickly to place under my feet. How I tramped it down until my feet were tired and aching! How we laughed and joked, though, as the big load of hay continued to grow bigger. “Sallie,” I stood bare-headed with arms akimbo, on the top of the hay. Pautingly I called, “Sallie, Oh, Sallie, look up here, do.” “Well, I’m looking,’ she replied, moving out in the middle of the field with her head inclined as though she was counting the stars. “Sallie, did Maud have large feet?” “Maud,” pitch ing up auotlier avalanche of hay, “Maud who?” “Why, Maud Muller, of course, You see in packing hay, unless you have big feet like the Chicago or Atlanta girls, you'll mire up in the hay, don’t you see? It takes a sylph-like form and substantial feet to make our ideal go-as you-please Maud Muller. Though they do say, Maud was au Alliance girl! Fitch on a few more thousand pounds Sallie. This wagon isn’t half loaded. I don’t feel like I’m more than a quarter of a mile from the earth. Listen, Sallie. : “Oh! lioerty,liberty ever, And freedom to rise with thday; To race through the sweet-scented clover, And rake up the newly mown hay. Wliat’s that? You say we’ve got on enough load this time? Well, then, I’ll come down. My! S allie, what are you doing? Whoa! Jumbo, whoa, sir;” but Jumbo didn’t whoa. He was going at a fast walk across the big potato ridges and I knew Sallie was mating him. Oh! goodness! I thought the wagon would flop over every minute. There I sat perched upon the very top of an immense load of hay, swaying dangerously hack and forth as the wagon lurched from side to side,now on top a two foot ridge, now in the wick ed deep furrows. And 1 knew, though I couldn’t see her, that Sallie down by the side of the wagon, hidden by the over hanging hay, was urging the liorseon I could see her laughing herself half to death down there. Oh! it got worse in stead of better. I called, I begged, I plead,l said “whoa, Jumbo” in tender way. Then I called sternly, “whoa, Jumbo,’ whoa, sir!” But no he didn’t whoa, not at all, atthough by this time I was in a desperate mood. Every minute hid fair to be the next, as somebody has aptly said. Right anead of us stood au immense live oak tree. 1 kuew that ivs low hanging branches would brush me off and knock a thousand or two pounds of hay down with me, aud I knew Sallie would stop at nothing when playiug a practical joke,so everything considered,it would be best to resign my place,not wait tobe “bonneed.” Right then I had hum bled myself to the position of the “Mos lem when he prays with his head turned towards Mecca.” But I veered around, and with both feet well together aud pointing exactly to Jumbo’s collar, I re called the skill of other days wjien I was the captain of our sliding brigade at school sliding down the slick side of a certain deep red gully then I ‘‘slid.” I’m a skillful horsewoman for tunately, so when I fell, a confused mass, on Jumbo’s broad back, I caught on the collar, and by the aid of the harness, righted myself in time to turn his head so that the wagon passed safely around the tree and didn’t touch it. Imagine Sallie’s surprise as Jumbo halted at the barn door, and she came out from under the hay to see me quietly sitting on his back! Well, we had lots of fun, just lots of it, though we did get tired, oh, so tired! But we persevered until the last wisp of that dearly-bought, new-mown hay lay steeped in fragrance in the depths of the big old barn before the September storm broke on us that night. Sallie Lad raked up and pitched the hay into the wagon, while I had valiantly walked around on it until her long, white arms grew dusty, and my little white feet grew dustier, and the strings to our sun- lapsed into poetical limpness, Ynd still we never saw \ “The Judge come riding down the lai)e, \troking his horse’s chestnut mane.” Mildred Beryl Brown. From Harlem, Ga. Will you allow me space in your es teemed journal to offer a few sug gestions that may or may not be worthy of consideration? In almost every issue of your paper can be found resolu tions adopted by different sub-Alliances throughout the stato, a great many of them of such a nature as to commend themßelvea to all true Alliancemen, and some again very sweeping in their char acter and emanating from sub-Alliances of limited power, 1 think calculated to do our order much harm without the re motest probability of advancing its cause in the least. It does seem to me that sweeping aud stringent resolutions, o be effective, should fipst have the sanc tion of our best nfeu, or, in other words, should emanate from our State and National organizations, then with the endorsement of our sub and county organizations, we would be on solid and safe gr <und, and with the whole organi zation as a unit in forwarding and carry ing out the spirit and letter of the same. It would mean something, and we would not be in a position to have our acts criti cised Dy outsiders, and also avoid the unnecessary friction between the farm ers and merchants that such resolutions are calcula ed to produce when placed upon the minutes of sub-Alliances. We should bear in mind that the merchants aie very essential to us, in fact, abso lutely necessary, and generally speaking, business men, and as a rule, disposed to extend just and fair accommodations to their customers; that while we have been greately extorted upon in Ihe past, we should not lay the entire blame upon other parties, but assume our own meas ure of responsibility by delegating to others duties that should have been performed by ourselves in the past, and allow parties inimical to the farming inters st to shape the financial and other interests of this government without protest, until, as a class, we are almost totally bankrupt, is not an enviable posi tion by any means. We have consumed a score of years in reaching bed rock, and now we must face the issue like men and deal with it as reason and judgment dictate, which teaches us that what it has taken years to lose cannot be removed in a day. The prestige already lost is to he regained only by united and determined efforts, dealing justly and fairly with all whom we may be thrown in business contact, and demanding only such treatment from others as we are ready to accord tojtliem, and thou we can reasonably expect to meet with help and encouragement from a large majority of the merchants and manufactories we may be thrown in bus iness contact with, justice to all, special privileges to none. There are many, but one of the main causes of our depressed condition is the present system of paying our notes and mortgages given for supplies and guano, which are made payable the 15th of Oc tober and Ist of November, thereby not only forcing the bulk of the cotton crop on the market in a few days (which of itself is enough to break down the best market on earth), but it also compels threo fourthi of the planters to exert their whole time and energies to the gathering and marketing of their crop iu order to meet their obligations at a time that experience teaches us some portion of the time should be given to the sow ing of small grain, if we expect to reap a reasonable harvest. Cannot some ar rangement bo formulated between the commission merchants aud the planters by which notes and mortgages given for supplies and guano can be divided up into equal parts and made payable in monthly installments, commencing the first of October and extending through the intervening months until the first of January, when the last and final payment is to he made, thereby extending the time of marketing the bulk of the crop through the fall and a portion of the winter season? Then with the remnant of the crop the most of the planters would be enabled to market to advantage in the latter months of the season. If merchants are made secure, I see no rea son why they should throw any impedi ment in the way. Nor do I believe there would bs any serions objections made by them to such an arrangement. As busi ness men, they can very readily see that they would reap equal advantages with the planter, and greatly relieve the already overburdened farmers. Prop erly presented to them by committees appointed by the different county Alli ances surrounding the different cotton centers of the State, with the endorse ment of the State Alliance, I think the merchants would meet us in a spirit of fairness and extend to us the accommo dation that certainly would prove of un told benefit to all parties interested.
