Senator Allgood has introduced
a bill making it a misdemeanor
for a man to be fonnd drunk away

drunk at home.
It is probable that a good many
of the speeches on the Western and

" THE TRUTH OF IT,
Pp————
We notice that in some sections of the
country there are views expressed by
some alliance organizations, that wher
aver a merchant handles jute bagging,
he shonld be boyeotted; and the farmer
‘who uses it should be ostracised. Now
‘this is carrying things a little too far,
and the expression of such views only
tends to eripple the alliance organization,
This is a free country, and a merchant
has the right to handle any legitimate
article he ¢hooses to, the ginner has the
right to wrap the cotton in whatever ar.
ticle his eustomer may desire, and an in
dividual hes the right to purchase and
use any legitimate article he may desire,
We hope the farmers may all use cotton
bagging, but an attempt to boycot a
merchant for handling jute, or to ostra
c¢ise an individual for using it, is a direct
thrust at the fundamental principles of
our government. Freedom of thought,
and freedom of legitimate action, must
be accorded every individual, f
The above editorial appeared in
the Baxxer week before last, to
which the editor of the Messenger
seriously objected. He does not
think that such ideas of right and
justice equally to all should be.
expressed. We would not notice
his attempted reply to the above
paragraph but for the fact that he
studionsly endeavors to misrepre
sent us, and to add injury to
insult, makes false assertions.—
He begins his article thus: ¢lt
is natural for those who are not‘
interested in the Farmers’ Alli
ance to object to such moves as
they think are likely to provei
detrimental to the interest of -a
L |
few who would rejoice to zee the}
Alliance sink into cblivion.’! It
will be seen from this first sen
tence that he asserts that we are
opposed to the Farmers’ Alliance
and are running the BAnxer in
the interest of a few, which is
utterly false. His article all the
way through is filled up with
just such misrepresentations. We
have time and again through
these columns, and otherwise,
stated that we favored the alli
ance, and properly conducted we
believed -it capable of accom
plishing great good. Nor have
we ever published one word det
rimental to the alliance cause.—
its purposes are grand and good, but
the organization might be badly man
aged—ijust by following the advice of a
few cranks—and run thus it wounld do
more harm than good.
Further along in his article he says we
feign friendship for the alliance for the
sake of their money. we have never yet
sacrificed principle for the sake of money
or patronage, and God forbid that we
shounld ever sink so low. we defy him to
go into our past record, or in any other
manner, sustain his false: accusations.
we make no charges against the said
editor, except that he knowingly endeav
ors to misrepresent us, thus hoping to
secure the withdrawal of patronage from
us in order to inerease his own business,
But there are too many sensible men in
this country for the success of such un
becoming methods.
we wish the alliance great success. It
deserves it. But the organization should
beware of the howl of the crank. It
needs sensible and broad-minded men
to do the work that is before it. what
the favmers want is equal rights and
equal protection with all other indus
tries, and the proper steps will get these
rights. That is our position, “equal
rights to all classes and individnals,”
and whether we stand or fall, we shall
‘uphold this grand prineiple. “Equal
‘rights to all; special favors to none,”
WHAT ON EARTH
Is the reason people will not, can
not, or do not see any difference
in cheap nostrums put up by
Cheap John houses or irresponsi
ble parties at enormouns profits,
rather than take a medicine of
worldwide reputation and one
that is giving universal satisfac
tion at equal price? No medicine
in the world is giving such un
paralleled satisfaction for purify
ing the blood as Beggs’ Blood
Purifier & Blood Maker, and every
bottle that does not do its work
will cogt you nothing. Neill &

BREMEN ITEMS.
Bremen, Ga., August 8, 1889.
our seribe has been to Mt. Zion
Semfinary to meeting. They are
on tiptoe. We had a good meet
ing. © Two withdrew from the
church, and the pastor said the
door was open for others to go out
if they did not intend to live
right. They are fixing to build a
fine new church. Their boarding
hall is about done.
I never saw finer crops.
Some of the Mount Zion folks
are coming up to Bremen next
Sunday to help in our meeting.
Bremen, according to some, is
dead, and they want the coroner.
G. W. Hood was elected mayor,
and he is called blind tiger slayer.
If he finds it, he’ll be sure to hit
it. You may set that down, and
don’t forget it. Which way we
are going its hard to tell. Some,
I fear, is bound for hell. Oh! if
all would try to be forgiven, Bre
men might become a little heaven.

Blood Poison
Is very liable to follow contact of
the hands or face with what is
known as poison ivy, especially
in hot weather or if the body is
perspiring freely. The trouble
may subside for a time, only to
appear in aggravated form when
opportunity offers. The great
purifying powers of Hood’s Bar
saparilla thoroughly eradicate
every trace of poison from the
blood, as the cures it has accom
plished conclusively show. It al
go eures scrofula, salt rheum and
all other affections arising from
impure or poisoned blood, |

If you have made up your mind to buy
Hood’s Sarsaparilla do not be induced to take
any other, Hood’s Sarsaparilla Is a peculiar
medicine, possessing, by virtue of its peculiar
combination, proportion, and preparation,
curative power superior to any other article.
A Boston lady who knew what she wanted,
and whose example is worthy lmitation, tells
her experienco below:
RN RSO
©Tn one store where I went to buy Hood’s
Barsaparilla the clerk tried to induce me buy
their own instead of Hood’s; he told me their’s
would last longer; that I might take it on ten
days’ trial; that if I did not like it I need not
pay anything, etc. But he could not prevail
on me to change, I told him I knew what
Hood’s Sarsaparilla was. Ihad taken it, was
satisfied with it, and did not want any other
Hood’s
RN RN T TR
When I began taking Hood's Sarsaparilla
I was feeling real miserable, suffering
a great deal with dyspepsia, and so weak
that at times I could hardly stand. Ilooked,
and had for some time, like a person in cons
sumption. Hood’s Sarsaparilla did me so
much good that I wonder at myself sometimes,
and my friends frequently speak of it.”” MRS,
Erva A. Gorr, 61 Terrace Street, Boston.

Killed by Lightning.
A Dbolt of lightning out near
Anutioch church sped on a dreadful
mission last Tuesday. Two boys,
one a son of Mr. Joseph Smith and
the other a son of Mr. Dent Weav
er, aged about 12 and § years re
spectively, were returning to the
house of Mr. Smith {rom the wa
termelon patch. They were ac
companied by two small children,
and ‘jsp:dd enly a bolt of electricity
struck Smith, killing him instani
ly, and knocking Weaver down.
The children raised the alarm and
the family hurried to the scene of
the tragedy to find the above re
sults. The Weaver boy was un
conscious for several hours, but it
is thought will recover. He was
Jburnt on one arm and otherwise
‘injured.—Cedartown Standard.
The Verdict Unanimous.
W. D. Sult, Druggist, Bippus*
Ind., testifies: ¢l can recom-.
mend Electric Bitters as the very
best remedy. Every bottle sold
has given relief in every case.—
One man took six bottles, and was
cured of Rheunmatism of 10 years’
standing.”’ Abraham = Hare,
druggist, Bellville, Ohio, affirms:
“The best selling medicine I have
ever handled in my 20 years' ex
perience, is Electric Bitters,”’—
Thousands of others have added
their testimony, so that the ver
dict is unanimous that Eleectric ©
Bifters do cure all diseases 0f the
Liver, Kidneys or Blood. Only a
half dollar a bottle at Summer

John Huffman, of Tennessee
was murdered Monday by an un
known party. While drinking
recently he boasted of possessing
a halts bushel of half doilars,
which is thought to be the cause
of his death.
Gus, A. Dusows, a well known
resident of St. Lounis, says: I
have used several bottles of Prick
ly As<h Bitters for biliousness and
malarial troubles, so prevalent in
this climate, and heartily recom
mend it to ail afflicted in a like
manner. It is the best remedy 1
ever used.” : 880, s
