The Farmers Alliance of Banks
Con ntv.
This organization met at Silver
Shoals Church July 4th, when the
body was called to order bv the
president and jiroceeded to busi
nes.sand transacted a good amount,
when a mot'on was made to ad
journ lor dinner, which was car
ried; a line dinner it was, too. The
ladies of Silver Shoals spared no
pain.-* in, preparing lhe dinner; and
there were plenty to leed the large
crowd and to spare. May they be
spared to enjoy many such meet
ings.
After dinner the alliance pro
ceeded to business, and as State
Organizer J. 11. Turner was to
speak at Homer Saturday 6th, the
alliance adjourned to meet in Ho
mer—thereto linish up the busi
ness before it. And ahiong other
tilings they unanimously passed
the following resolutions, to , rit;
“That we earnestly request our
member in the legislature and our
senator to use all honorable means
in their power to have the McCar
ty bill and the Olive Bill passed so
as to become a law.”
Also the following resolution in
regard to using cotton bagging:
“Whereas, We, the Farmers Al
liance ot Banks county, say that
the farmers and laborers of the
South have been compelled by the
unjust and exhorbilant demands of
trust companies, to organize and
engage in a struggle lor their own
protection, and
“Whereas, Co-operation and un
ion are essential to insure success,
and especially in this, our struggle
against the bagging trust, therefore
be it
“Resolved, That wo pledge our
selves fo use cotton bagging as a
covering for cotton.
“Resolved, Further, that we ask
our merchants and ginners to co
operate with us.
‘•Resolved That we will patron
ize ginners and merchants who are
willing to assist us against this un
just trust, in preference to those
who refuse to do so, and instead,
are helping our enemies by buy
ing the jute bagging.
“Resolved, That any member of
this alliance not acting in harmo
ny with us on the cotton bagging
question, shill be considered a de
serter, and should be expelled from
the order.”
Thus you see, the Alliance is
not'going to use jute bagging and
will not patronize any merchant
who does buy it in preference to
cotton. Now is Ihe time to break
up this abominable trust that has
lieeced millions of dollars out of the
farmers in its unjust demands on
jute bagging. More zlnon.
An Amusing Nautical Yarn.
Capt Crosby of a Nova Scotian
hark, is a jolly old sea dog, well
known as a veteran of the coasting
trade. About fifty years of age,
broad shouldered, and heavily
built, his face thickly covered with
black beard, the captain is easily
the ideal skipper of the sea.
“On a recent voyage to New
York,” said the captain, “I carried
a cargo consisting in part of some
500 bags of hazel nuts. When we
made port the owner of tho cargo
came on board. 1 assured him < f
its safety, and together wo went
through the ship. Everything s”is
all right until we came to the nub.
Imagine our surprise to see the
bags torn and the nuts lying scat
tered in heaps here and there, a
small liolo had been gnawed in the
end of each nut and ihe meat ex
traded as clean as a whistle The
work of rats, of course.
“The next-clay a sallowed faced
chap wearing his hair down to his
shoulders, came on board, said lie
was % professional rat-catcher and
offered fo clear the ship lor $5. 1
engaged his services on the spot.
Descending into the hold with no
visible implements but a large bag
and a dark lantern, the hatches
w r ere closed, and after a lapse of
several hours the fellow reappear
ed, his bagfull of rodents. I pail
over the money and he left tiie
ship. When upon the dock he turn
ed, leered at me and deliberately
let fall the bag. The rats bound
ed forth, and every one if them
made for the ship they had so late
ly left, a curious sight it was, I
assure vou
“Before I could make a move
the fellow look lo his heels, stop
ping only long enough to bawl out
that he’d do the same work over
again for another $5. If 1 only had
him here,” continued the irate cap
tain, warming up under the recital
of his wrongs, “I'd make him walk
the plank.”
A result of the loss of the nuts
was to develop a curious point in
nautical law. The owner of the
cargo sued to recover the value ot
the nuts, but as Capt. Crosby prov
ed that he kept a cat on board the
ship during the voyage, the court
held that he had taken reasonable
precaution and dismissed the suit.
Five Living Husbands.
Charlotte, N. (?., July 3.—To
day Samuel Nicholson appeared
before Register Cobb and request
ed a marriage license for himself■
and Isabella Davis. The license was
promptly issued, but before if bad!
been used it was discovered that
woman was already married and
her husband was yet living. Fur
ther investigation revealed the fact
that she was a bigamist, and conse
quently a warrant for her arrest was
put in the hands of an officer. She
was arraigned before a jjastice of the
peace this evening. The evideuoe ao
cumulated against her, and soon it |
was proven that she has now living
five hnsbauda, four of whom live in
this state aud one in South Caioliua.
The woman is now only about thirty
two years old. Her son, a lad about
sixteen years old, testified agaiust ber
in court. She married the first time
at fifteen, and has iiyed with no one
husband more than eiglncen months.
She married first in 1872 to Amos
Johnson, and separated tne to!lo wing
year. la 1875 she married A. B. Mo-
Cowe, and livea with him til! Christ
mas of lS7f>. Again in 1878 she mar
ried Red Abraham McEliaore, and left
him in 1879. in ISSS she married
Paul R. Holton, and left him the same
year, f?be married William R. Fer
guson last year, but only lived with
him a few* weeks. All are new living.
For Dyspepsia is Ayer’s Sarsaparilla,
Other medicines may give temporary
relief but Ayer’s Sarsaparilla makes a
positive and i ermuucnt cure, as thou
sands call testify all over tlit: country.
“ My stomach, liver, and kidneys wero
in a disordered condition for years,"
writes It. Wild, of Hutto, Texas, “and
I never found any medicine to relieve
me, until I bewail to take Ayer’s Sarsa
parilla. Less than six bottles of this
remedy cured me.”
Mrs. Joseph Aubin. of Holyoke,
Mass., was fora Ion" time a severe suf
ferer from Dyspepsia, trying, in vain, all
the usual remedies. At last she began to
take Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, and only three
bottles restored her to perfect health.
" I have gone through terrible suffer
ing from Dyspepsia and Indigestion,”
writes C. J. Bodemer, 145 Columbia st.,
Cambridgeport, Mass., “and can truly
say Ayer’s Sarsaparilla lias cured me.”*
