Summertown Sub-Alliance, No. 1723; After a long and painful illness, death removed from our midst our Brother W. I’. Boozier; therefore be it Resolved, That we, the members of said Alliance, bow to His omnipotent will. Also tender our sypathy to the be reaved family of our deceased brother. Also that these resolutions be pub lished in the Pine Forest of Emanuel County, and the Southern Alliance Farmer; and that a copy be sent the family of disceased brother. J. C. Johnson, E. L. Green, Max.Marback, Committee. To the Alliance Brethren of Georgia. 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. Done by order of the Mount Vernon Farmers Alliance, No. 1248. bend all moneys and postal notes to M. H. Darley, secretary, Mount Vernon, Georgia. T. B. Adams, Pres. Mount Vernon Alliance. 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, B. H. Davis, Pres. Centreville F. A. 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 Thos. S. Bony, M. D. Glascock county. 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. W. L. Gamble. Perennial Alliance, Chattooga County, 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. Read and adopted by Shiloh Farmers Alliance, No. 991. J. T. Hailes, Pres’t. L. L. Callaway, Sec’y. 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. C. F. Turner, Forsyth, Ga. Brother C. L. Maddox, of Simon, Ga., writes a ringing good letter.
