This is to certify that Brother John
W. Mcßryde is a worthy member of good
standing in Mount Vernon Alliance, No.
1248, in this county; and that he did
lose his house and contents by fire, leav
ing himself aud family with nothing ex
cept the clothes which they, wore at the
time of the burning.
We now ask that every sub-Alliance in
the state give him a small sum to enable
him to rebuild and start to house-keep
ing again.
Mr. Mcßryde has a wife and several
small children depending upon his labor
for a living.

From Centreville Alliance, No. 1488.
Our Alliance is moving straight for
ward. We have some opposition on the
outside, but that is expected, of course.
We nse cotton bagging —it is made near
our lodge. Igo down to .see them make
cotton bagging with pleasure. lam sor
ry to hear of the many calls for cotton
bagging and can not be supplied.
Every Allianceman should be wide
awake to the interests of our order. Wo
have said time and again that we wanted
cotton bagging; and still some of our
brethren have to use sugar strip, jute
strip or some other strip that is a curse
to our order.
God speed the day when we will see
where we stand.
If you want to whip a light, never
change clubs, for while we are changing
you, will get whipped sure.
We have some men in our lodge who
would gji’e 25cts for cotton bagging be
fore they would use these suostitutes
and 1 hope tLe Alliancemcu of Georgia
will centre more fully on cotton bagging
tor 1891 than ever before.
Yours truly,

Brunswick, Ga.
I noticed an article in the Southern
Alliance Farmer in answer to an arti
cle in the Brunswick Times, to correct
a statement concerning the wages of
Colonel Livingston; they were no more
mistaken than one of the bosses was a
short time since when ho was explaining
to a merchant, that the Alliance was try
ing to ruin the country and the sub-treas
ury bill that they wanted the govern
ment to loan money at a small per cent
on the prospects of their crops. He was
truthfully informed that he did not
know what he was talking about.
All this stuff pul me in mind of the
Times when it published a telegram
from Atlanta during the Alliance con
vention that J. J. Spears, our candidate,
had gone to advise with Boss Buck. We
sent him as a delegate; they knew he
was one of a committee sent on business
for the city. And some one guessed at the
balance about like they guess at his op
ponent’s election. We have a pretty
hard time to hold these bulldozers in
check; though we have the pluck Spear
don’t scare. Aud by Jo! the Alliance
will stay.
Yeurs trulv,
Jos, B. Davis.
Sub-Kxchange.
Why can’t we have sub-Exchanges all
-over the state of Georgia? They would
surely be of more benefit to the Alliance
than one. For instance, we people in
the south-eastern portion of the state
cannot derive any benefit from an Ex
change in Atlanta on account of freights
and railroad charges before our goods
can ever reach us; therefore, brethren,
give us sub-Exchanges. Say one at
Augusta, and such other places as will
give equal rights to all ana special priv
ileges to none; for only one Exchange
in the state gives the town in which it is
located a special privilege, and gives
the Alliancemen living near the ex
change advantages which we, who live
one or two hundred miles from the Ex
change, cannot possibly derive.
But, to build up sub-Exchanges in
different parts of the state to suit the
convenience of the different localities,
-would only be equal rights to all and
special privileges to none.
Hoping these few thoughts will put
some good thinking man to work, and
that ere long we win have an Exchange
within easy reach of all, I am

SOUTHERN ALLIANCE FARMER, ATLANTA, GA., OCTOBER 14, 1890.
From Mill Creek Alliance.
Our lodge has unanimously adopted
cotton bagging, and will turn any mem
ber out who uses jute. We are also a
unit for Everette.
We are getting along very well and
taking in new members constantly.
I think the time has come when the
farmers and working men have begun to
educate themselves and look to their
interests and the good of their country.
Brethren, the outsiders are doing all in
their power to break down our order.
I mean the politicians and moaied men;
but by united effort I think we will come
out more than conquerors in the end.
Success to The Southern Alliance
Farmer.
Yours fraternally,
J. J. Wood.
From Midway Alliance.
We stop to reflect as we look at the
toiling masses who earn their living by
the "sweat of their brow,” and then
turn to see the representatives of our
county—and they are aiH against us,
even from the representative halls of
Georgia to the national senate. Even
the politicians who have been claiming
to be our friends are doing all in their
power against us—trying to elect Gor
don and Felton to represent us, when we
only ask for equal rights to all and
special privileges to none.
Say, brethren, can we vote for men
who will plaoe us en a lower plane than
the gentleman in hades? Let us all
rally to the front and vote for our regu
lar democratic nominees.
Success to The Southern Alliance
Farmer. Fraternally,
Alliance Boy.
Resolutions from New Hope F. A. No.
1840, Cornelia, Ga.
Whereas the jute trust has proved
very injurious to the farmers of the
south, and should be put down; and
Whereas we think it contrary to true
Alliance principles to use jute bagging;
therefore be it
Resolved, By New Hope Alliance, No.
1840, That we will use cotton bagging
to cover our cotton, and recommend all
sub-Alliances to pass similar resolutions.
Resolved, That we will not patronize
any ginner who buys and selis jute bag
ging to his customers.
Resolved, That these resolutions be
published in The Southern Alliance
Farmer and Clarksville Advertiser.
J. W. Ayers, Pres’t,
Jno. B. King, Sec’y.
Bradshaw F. A. No. 830.
Our lodge is working nicely. We hope
in the near future to be enabled to get a
fair price for bur cotton and surplus
products of the farm. The time is
brightening, the vista is slowly clearing.
This gives us courage to press onward
with vigilance for our cause, that of
equal rights to all and special privileges
to none. We feelasthough God espons
el our cause, so let us not weary in well
doing; but rather h t us look to a better
day to dawn upon us. That day, breth
ren, is coaling when we will be a free
people once again. God will see to it
that his people shall have their rights;
for he.is always with the right and con
demning the wrong.
Long live our grand state organ, and
may success crown every effort of the
editor. Yours, etc.,
Plow Boy,
From Jackson, Ga.
The time will soon come for ns to
select a United States senator. With all
due respect tq General Gordon, after
the yard stick has been applied we think
he is found wanting. We would not
pluck one single laurel from the grand
old man’s brow. lam in favor of giving
Gen. Gordon a pension—one that will
keep him in splendor the balance of his
days, if he will just retire from public
life. We want men in congress who will
stick and not resign and run off and
monkey with Wall street. We hope the
general will come out of the race and
retire to private life, and not be choked
off after all the honors that have been
conferred upon him.
The sooner the people sit down on all
the old soreheaded politicians 'the better
it will be for the people. Let us put
new machinery in office, and we will get
legislation in the interest of the people,
and not in the interest of party and com
binations.
Yours fraternally,
8. J. Smith.
Cedar Creek Farmers Alliance, No. 901,
Wilcox County, Ga.
While we are but few in number, we
are endeavoring to stand to the princi
ples of the order, with the view of ac
complishing something to our interest
in the future. We will stand by all
good and tiue Alliancemen who work
for our interest and the upbuilding of
the farmers and labcrers of America.
Most of the brethren of our Alliance
are taking your most excellent journal,
which is an exponent of wisdom, moder
ation and justice.
Our meetings are regular, and we are
moving along on the main line of pros
perity. Our lodge was organized with
out few members, but it has increased
very rapidly. It numbers at present
about forty-seven members, who are all
alive.to the interests of the order. We
have adopted cotton bagging as a cover
ing for our cotton. We have no use for
jute at present; think we can get along
without it. We have also adopted reso
lutions requiring each and every mem
ber to patronize our Alliance warehouse.
At a regular meeting the following
officers were duly installed:
M. McDuffie, president.
J. I’. Blue, vice-president.
J. M. Fitzgeral, secretary.
Wm. Smith, treasurer.
C. Bush, lecturer.
L. Gooding, ass’t lecturer.
B. Johnson, door-keeper. -
R. Wingate, ass’t door-keeper.
M. McAnally, sargeant-at-arms.
G. B. Shepard, chaplain.
All of them are endeavoring to train
themselves upon the fundamental prin
ciples of the order, and are sticking
together trying to accomplish the long
felt want of our farmers.
Yours truly,
A. W. Newman.
We are still trying to keep up our cor
ner up here in the backwoods. We have
not a strong lodge in numbers, but we
are trying to do our whole duty if we
know it.
We have about got our lodge purged
of the few who joined it in the hope of
getting the loaves and Ashes, and those
who are left will stick to the Alliance
through thick and thin.
We are in for the ‘ war”and don't pro
pose to lay down our arms until the
rights of the farmers are recognized,and
they are allowed all the privileges of
other citizens of this free (?) govern
ment.
I want to say a few words about the
senatorial campaign. I don’t think it
would be right for our representatives to
elect any man for that office who is not
in full sympathy with the people of this
section in this struggle for their rights.
Governor Gordon says “if I am struck it
will be in the house of my friends.” He
might have added, “and by my friends
as well.” But what does that signify?
Was not Ceasar one of the greatest gen
erals as well as statesmen the world has
ever known, killed by his most intimate
friend? and will not the people of Geor
gia have the same defense that Brutus
had? Not that we love Gordon less but
Georgia more.” That we love Gordan,
has been abundantly proved by our un
swerving allegiance to him ever since
the war; but that we love Georgia. I
should think that of all men. Gordon,
who led Georgia so many desperate en
counters, would be the last man to ques
tion. It now remains to be shown which
we love thwmost, Gordon or Georgia.

Glengrove Alliance, No. 532, Senoia.
Our lodge is on a boom, as we have
seven members to come iu the next meet
ing. We are in high spirits aowa here.
We are strong Alhancemeu in this coun
ty; we are always th are when the pinch
of the game comes. Wo use cotton bag
ging-
I do think the Alliance is one of the
greatest organization that has ever been
gotten up. In three years it is too Dig
for the politicians to handle,and they
hate the great name of the Alliance.
We ne»d good, true men in our order
to stand shoulder to shoulder, then
everything would roll on to a great vic
tory. Ido hope some day we will all be
better off than we are now, for we need
relief, if we stand equate to our princi
ples and battle for our rights, we will
get in a better condition.
The farmers, as a general thing are
pressed harder than any class on earth.
A good many of our members take our
state organ, and all are well pleased with
it. I have been noticing for two or
three weeks for quotations on cottou;we
would like to know the cause, for now is
the time when we need the price for cot
ton. There is some talk about it, as you
know, people are apt to notice it. I feel
that it should have attention at once,for
we all want to see it in print.
Well I close as I don’t want to crowd
our paper.
Yours very respectfully,
C. Johnson.
Died September 2. 1890, William
Hampton Mullins at his home in Greene
county, Ga., from iujuries received by a
cotton gin; age 24 years and six
months
Whereas, it has pleased God our
Father in the dispensation of his all wise
providence, to remove from us by the
hand of death our chaplain, Brother Wm.
’Hampton Mullins to his reward beyond
the skies; therefore be it
Resolved, That in the death of Brother
W. H. Mullins, this lodge has lost a most
worthy member, the Alliance a noble
brother, the community a good neighbor,
the church auseful member, the country
one of its best citizens,his wife a deioied
husband, his parents a dutiful son, and
his brothers and sisters an affectionate
and loving brother.
Resolved, That we bow in humble sub
mission to him who doeth £ll things
well.
Resolved, That we tender to his be
reaved wife and loved ones, our heartfelt
sympathy in their sad bereavement.
Resolved, That these resolutions
be spread upon our minute book,
a copy be sent to The South
ern Alliance Farmer, and
Greenboro Herald and Journal for pub
lication.

Two Ways to Crush the Alliance:
There are two plans by which the ene
mies of the Alliance are striving to
crush the order:
Oue class is openly denouncing the
order, calling the Alliancemen the dark
lantern boys, and their meetings secret
conclaves. This class of m- n pour out
the vials of their wrath on the Alliance
as an order.
But there is another, and a much more
dangerous class, who profess much love
for the order, but have a mortal hatred
for the Alliance leaders. These men
are terribly iu love with the Alliance or
der, but at the same time are moving
heaven aud earth and compassing sea
and land to crush the Alliance leaders.
This latter class pats the Alliancemen
on the shoulder and tells them how
much it loves the order, but that we
have bad men to lead us, and that they
hate our leaders, and are determined to
crush them, and even go so far as to so
licit the aid of Alliancemen to help to
crush their leaders.
Neither one of these plans is original.
The first class is trying to crush the or
der by openly denouncing the organiza
tion. Spying that the Alliance is a se
cret political organization, and as such
that it is opposed to the principles of a
democratic government. This plan is
the one presented Governor Henry A.
Wise, of Virginia in the campaign of
1850 or 1857, when he stumpped the state
of Virginia, from the mountains to the
seaboard denouncing the Know-Noth
ings as the dark lantern boys and their
meetings as secret conclaves. The men
who adopted this plan, not only use the
plan of Henry A Wise, but reiterate his
exact language.
Wise, in attacting the Know-Nothing
order on this line, completely crushed
the party. It never fluttered after that
campaign. Virginia at that time being
the leading state of the Union. When
the party in that grand old common
wealth fell, ths Know-Nothing party was
crushed throughout the nation.
The old mosi-back politicians in Geor
gia who are trjing to imitate Wise, hope
if they can crush and defeat the Alliance
iu Georgia—the empire state of the south
—to crush it throughout the nation.
These men make two mistakes:
Ist. They have not the intellectual
ability of Henry A. Wise.
2nd. Thrf Alliance organization is a
different order from the Know-Nothing
order. %
The other class, who are striving to
break down our order by crushing our
leadeils, is treading in the tracks of
King I’nillip, of Macedonia. More thin
thieo hundred years B. 0., when he in
vaded the repub.ics.sof Greece for the
purpose of subjecting and enslaving the
Greeks, Demosthenes and Demiteius,
two celebrated orators who had stirred
up the Greeks to resist the invade. - . The
W ily Macedonia general endeavored to
capture the Greens by strategem and de
ception. Phillip professed great love
and admiration for the Greeks, praissd
their patriotism and love for liberty, but
he expressed his hatred of their orators,
demagogues as he called them. He sent
heralds to the Greeks offering io close
the war on terms alike honorable to the
Greeks and himself if they would deliver
up to him these two orators. Demos
thenes called the Greeks together and
related to them the fable of the wolf
and the sheep. The wolf sent word to
the sheep that if they would kill their
watch-dogs that they should liv«J on
terms of peace with the §heep. The
foolish sheep killed their dogs then the
wolf devowered the whole flock.
The wily politicians of Georgia,backed
by the millions of Wall street are striv
ing to practice Phillip’s tricks on the Al
liance of Georgia by pretending to love
the order and asking the Alliance order
to bind their leaders hand and foot and
turn them over to their enemy.
It will be a sad day for the Alliance
men of Georgia when they lend a helping
band to the old moss-back politicians—
by whom most of our troubles have been
brought about —to crush our leaders,tue
men who built up our order and made
is the wonder and admiration of the
times.
No, gentlemen the trick is too thin;
Alliancemen are not such fools as you
suppose.
