CORRESPONDENCE.
A few Stray iJumi Front The Old Norlli
State.
Mn. Elmon:—Through the kindness
<>f nv friend and kinsman, VV. M. Shell.
I am getting the if an n kh-Mksseno kh,
and just here allow mo to extend thanks
to my friend for his kind consideration
and also to assure you that the weekly
visits of your paper affords me much
pleasure.
l have many relatives in Carroll and
Haralson counties and have been in reg
ular correspondence with some ol them
ever since 1 was a mere boy, hence I have
become both attached to and interested
in the peoplo of Georgia, and
"
regards , your particular , section or
so as
the state.
It was rather amusing to read of your
courts holding three to five weeks, as
we have four a year—two for civil and
two for criminal eases—each limited to
one week. VVe have a very poor jail and
court house, hut county commissioners
propose repairing to the amount of $15,
000 or building new ones, so you see we
are somewhat along the line with Ilar
alson. Wadesboro, the county seat of
this (Anson) county, is our most prosper
ous town, and is growing rapidly. It is
said the only silk factory iu the south is
located here, which gives employment to
quite a number of young girls. The citi¬
zens of the town, with a little outside aid,
have let the contract for the building of a
large cotton factory, which will also give
employment to Imudreds of hand of both
sexes, and with good railroad facilities,
our county town is destined ere long to
be one of the best markets iu this section
of the state.
The Alliance is strong numerically and
otherwise in this state. 16 is a power.
Our recent legislature was composed
largely of alliaucemen, and I chink ac¬
complished a great deal. Among other
things they established -a railroad com¬
mission, instructed our senators and rep¬
resentative in Congress and made a des¬
perate effort to lower interest to six per
jat.. but failed by a majority of one in
the senate. £ur state business agent is
doing efficient work. Thousands of dol¬
lars have been saved to the farmers iu
furtilizers alone the two past seasons.
We lave also a county agent in charge of
the co-operative store that has had much
to do in cutting down prices on many
things the farmers are bound to use, not¬
withstanding it seems that corn, bacon
and flower are running wild. The first
is selling for one dollar per bushel cash
or one twenty on time. Yes; I’ll argue
“let’s raise more corn and less cotton.”
This county is the birth-place of that
noble man, L. L. Polk, President N. F.
A. & I. U. and it is needless to say we
are proud of him.
With, best wishes for thc Banneb-Mf.s
sender and its many correspondents, I
will subscribe myself

DEATH.
Tlie Angle of death has again pushed
the gates of heaven ajar and admitted one
more soul into the presence of our dear
Savior.
Saturday about 3 o’clock the spirit of
one Mrs. M. D. Tamiei took its fight
from the caves of earth, passing oyer the
silvery stream of death into a world that
knows no death. She was a good Chris¬
tian lady and was a staunch member of
the Primitive Baptist church. She leaves
a husband and a number of children to
grieve over their loss, Wo extend to
them our heartfelt sympathies. But
alas, husband anti children of that good
lady, do not mourn over your loss, but
strive to live here below so we may meet
her in that world above where there will
be no parting there, for our loss is her
great gain. Now, sons and daughters of
that good woman, let this sink deep into
your minds for we may be called on at
any time to leave this earth, and will we
be prepared to meet our Savior?

THE FARMER, SO HAPPY
The farmer is such a happy man
If is life is so free from care—
Vv ibh not a thing to make him sad,
Or make him wish to sweiu.
Ali day among the rocks and grubs
He gaviy plows and hoes,
And money never troubles him,
Unless its what ho owes.
The fanner is very happy
when it rains three weeks in May
To see his cotton fields
All hedged about, with hay.

The farmer is so happy
That he is sure to grin
When his plow breaks a root
And it strikes him on the shin,
'j'he farmer is so happy to hear
At first faint crack of morn
“Arise, old Allianceman, hump yourself,
The cows are in your corn. - ’
The farmer is so happy
When he gets sick and cannot go,
Hqw swoetit is to Ue on bis back
And watch that mortgage grow.
The farmer is so happy
lie does not have to try
When everything works smoothly
lie is sure to get there

who there await his summons.
We cannot say lie is dead, but sleepeth.

Weep not dear parents and loved ones,

with him you too tune your harps
melodious chon, that is singing the
odious song ever and foievei.
Weep not dear loved ones, for him
Your angle is only ati’est
It was for some good purpose
Aud God always knows best.
He will not leave you here alone
But with you lie will ever dwell
And when your pilgrimage is done
O! then we’ll speak no more farewells.

OHIO ALLIANCEMF.N
Constitution.
Cincinnati, April 18.—Tlie Southern
Farmers’ Alliance is getting ready to in¬
vade Ohio, and there is much concern in
the existing order in this state over the
prospect of having their power divided.
The Allianee in this state is under the
northern Alliance, and is under the con¬
trol of a clique of republican politicians.
This ring has been able to dictate the pol¬
icy of the order to such an extent that the
platform of the Alliance in this state is
nothing more than the usual republican
platform. At tlie state convention at
G^jion, in January, the leaders, iu a most
ingenious but disreputable manner, pre¬
vented an expression of opinion of any of
the great issues of the day.
NO PLATFORM OF PRINCIPLES.
The Ohio alliance presents the anoma¬
ly of having no platform on the currency
national banks or tariff. There was a
vigorous kick against gang rule at the
time, and treats were made by many of
tbe genuine reformers, that the southern
alliance would be organized at once.
This threat has been carried out, and
there are today nearly 200 subordinate
lodges of tlie t-out^B Hnco. A state
convention of this M J has bci n call
oil to meet at CnhinJ f in the Kith in
stunt, at wick ITesh Polk ami other
leader.-, of national ntation will be
present. The not then Alliance has
membership about 40,000 in Ohio, hut the
order is hardly divided on the question of
independent political action. Every of
.
fort is being made to prevent llienomina
don of an independent ticket this fall,
for the republican schemers in the body
know that it will mean certain defeat
for their party. The situation is an in- j
foresting one. The democratic alliance-1
men. as a rule, are opposed to the pro
posed third party, and tin. men who are
urging it the most vehemently are former !
republicans. The invasion of the forces j
of Col. Folk will still further comidlcato :
the condition of affairs. It now seems j
almost certain that the rank and file can-!
not be controlled, and will break loose i
from their party additions.
the 19th of MAY.
Ohio will have a large representation
at the industrial conference on the 19th
of May. It is the programme now to
meet after the adjournment of that con
volition and nominate a full state ticket.
Alliance candidates for the legislature
will surely be nominated in almost every
county, and it seems reasonably certain
that the fanners will control the next l
legislature in this state, and that means
the retirement ot John Sherman from the
United States Senate. It lias been ascer¬
tained that at least 80 per cent of the al
liance in Ohio are republicans. Most of
them have become disgusted with their
party on the silver and tariff question,
and while not willing to go over to their
formel . enemy, tbe democracy, will vote
for independi^t candidates. The Ohio
democrats are manifesting a warm feel
fng foi . the A j iiall( . e) and bavo n0 objec
.; on tbeir nominating a tnird ticket.
Indeed they would prefer to liavo them
do so.
SHOWING TIXEIK TEETH.
The two alliance bodies will certainly
not be on terms of amity with each other.
Ab . cac [y the two factions are beginning
to show their teeth. The politicians in
the northern alliance are highly indig¬
nat at the audacity of tlie other body in
stealing their thunder, and as their plat¬
form means nothing they realize that the
invaders will take thousands of their
members. Well-posted farmers venture
the prediction that in less than a year the
so-called southern alliance will outnum¬
ber the other organization in this state,
It is cne of thc best si „ us o£ tbe tiines
£ba£ £be ob | wai . cry no longer scares the
farmers in this locality. Even such fire
alarmists as ex-Governor Foreaker have
discovered this, and it is safe to say that
in the next campaign the late unpleasant
ness will hardly be mentioned. Any man
of either party who attempts to arouse
the prejudices of the people by recalling
the war will meet his political death.
