take his own life early yesterday. He
had led a dissipated life for a long time,
and waa cast off by hi* family, respect

In his prosperity Johnston had be
friended a man named L Ackerman,
an expressman at Ko 74 Forsyth street,
and when adversity came be applied to
him for help. Ackerman gave him
shelter. He allowed him to sleep at
nights in his express office. This con
sisted of a small room in the rear tene-
Early yesterday morning Ackerman
heard a shrill scream and a noise that
sounded like some one who arms in pain.
He went into Johnston’s room and
found him on the floor, apparently
dead. Acherman tried to arouse him,
but could not succeed in making him
talk, and went ont to summon an abu-
lence. The man was removed to the
hospital, when he died, at 11 o’clock
yesterday, of what the doctors diag
nosed as cerebral apoplexy.
On the table In the room waa a bottle
of porter, of which half had been
drunk, and it ia thought from tbe let
ter* left by the unfortunate man ahat
he must have taken some poison which
caused his death.
Among the letters waa one to bia an
cle, H. E Johnson, a dentist taring at
Ko. 89 Flatbush avenue, "Brooklyn,
which asked him to send word when he
was dead to John Lang, who would at
tend to bia burial. A number of policy
slips with the numbers of several “gigs”
written upon them, and several pawn-
tickets and a fifty-cent piece was all
that was found upon him besides the
letters. Written in a blue pencil on
the fly leaf of a notebook was the fol
lowing :
“I can get no work and have no
friends to help me, and I don’t want to
live in this world an; longer. Tell my
aunt, Mrs. Kichol, who lives at St.
James, Long Island, that when I am
dead I want to be buried beside my
mother.”

Such Is the State of Belgium—Angry

London, January 13— (Special)—It
is being seriously asked if Belgium is
not fast drifting toward anarchy and
whether the government will be able
to restrain tbe desperate workmen
who, every day, give vent to their reck
lessness by deeds of violence and acts
of incendiarism. To proclaim her
weakness by calling for tbe assistance
of other powenhwould be a step almost
as fatal for tbe government as yielding
to the strikers.
But it is plain something must be
done. The morning after the destruc
tion by fire of the bourse and theater,
the police were busy tearing down pla
cards, some of which were printed
with red ink and signed “R? 71,”
warning monarebs, money dealers and
usurers that their existence and pro
fessions were offensive and insulting to
an oppressed people.
The people say thev are in want of
the commonest necessities of life, and
that the palaces and money temples and
places of amusement would be marked
for distraction until the cry of the
masses for justice was heeded. A po
liceman, while removing one of the
placards, had his head crushed by a
stone, and the crowd prevented the
cap to re of his assailant.

WHAT THE GREAT ALLIANCE
EXCHANGE HAS DONE.
A Talk with President Cbrput—FertlL
Izers for Fonr Dollars a Ton Less—
A Great Success Already, and
Brighter Hopes for 1890.
“The Alliance exchange has been a
much bigger tiling, and has done a
great deal more good than its founders
dreamed of,” said President Corput
this morning.
He was sitting in liis office talking to
farmers and giving quotations on meat,
flour, fertilizers and everything, as
busily as any merchant in Georgia.
The fact is that he has more custom
ers than any half dozen merchants in
Geirgia.
There are 10,000 allianeemen and the
orders that flow into the exchange here
come from every county in the State.
Its patrons are in every country neigh
borhood.
THE WORK OP TWO MONTRS.
“We have been at work only two
months,” said Mr. Corput, “and it
would astonish you to learn how much
we have done. Here are fertilzer notes.
We are getting them every day and
selling farmers fertilizers on them at
the rate of 360 tons a day. We charge
them manufacturers’ prices, adding
only 30 cents for the cost of handling.
Very few of the manufacturers refuse
to sell ns fertilizers on these notes. One
farmer told us that we had saved him
$4 50 on every ton of fertilizer he uses
The average saving has been from $2 to
$4 a ton.
“But the saving has not been on fer
tilizers only. We
HAVE LOWERED ALL PRICES.
We sell the farmer meat, flour, meal,
wagons, buggies, plows, in short every
thing they need, for less than they can
getfrom the regular dealers."
“How about cotton to cover cotton ?’
was asked.
Wei cover fifty per centum of the
south’s cotton with cotton,” he replied
The supply of bagging, as we expect
ed was not sufficient. It gave out: but
we proved that it was not only possible
to coyer cotton with cotton bagging,but
that we will do so this year.
THE|COTTQN BAGGING FIGHT
“We need a standard cotton bag
ging. Some of it was inferior hist
season. I think that the mills will man
ufacture a standard quality this year,
and that it will forever settle the ques
tion of covering for. our cottou. r ~
“Was any of the cotton wrapped in
cotton re-wrapped in jute?”
“Some of it, of course; bnt very lit
tle. W henever a bale was covered with
an inferior grade of cotton, it was re
placed with jute. But almost alwa;
the c»tton covering was kept on
composed bales.”
. THE TARE ON COTTON.
“Waa the proper tare alioweden cot
con*wtapped bales?’’
“Not always. I barn that it .was al
lowed in England, hat the farmer*'here
did not get the benefit of it. The An-
gUBta mills treated its fairly in this re
spect. They- allowed' us fifty cents for
tare on every bale wrapped in cotton.
“Another spur to the cotton bagging
movement has been given by the action
of tbe National Alliance in adopting
cotton.
“We have, to tell the story briefly,
saved the farmers a great deal on every
thing they buy. On guano alone tbe
exchange has
saved them $200,000.
“And they are now ordering every
thing they use through toe Exchange
We are thoroughlv organized, and can
be of a still greater benefit to them in
the future. Mr. Peek, when he takes
charge Jan. 20th will find the Alliance
Exchange in condition to be the best
friend tbe Georgia farmer ever had.”
MB. CORPUT HAS WORK ENOUGH.
“I want to say in the Journal,'* said
Mr. Corput; “tnat in resigning my po
sition as president of tbe exchange and
member of the board of directors, that
I have not resigned my position as
Notice.

ugly,painful, blotched, and malicious. W* bad
no rest at night, no peace by day. Finally wo
