CORRESPOSTDEHCE.
It s PBI.I.S.
After so long a time L conltulod to note
tho IJax.\k n-M kss uso Kk a few dots from
this, the B.\.\\\ :.u Coweta of the State.
Ourcotton crej some portions of
the county is short me third, but goner
ally short—about one fourth off. > ornis
pretty stood, but, not enough planted.
The price of cotton is low. Light: cents
torthe best grade. Farmers of the south
work their fool , elves to death to make
cotton and get no profit for their labor.
There is much said about die Sub-Treas
urv, but all the sub- treasuries in the world
will do no good, unless a fellow raises
his own meat and bread. The only time
the.Savior ever got mad was when
kicked those fejlows out of the sub-treas¬
ury. Our Alliance brethren have estab¬
lished several houses of trade, but like the
circumstances above mentioned, thieves
havegotten in and made dens of .those
houses, and J fear tl.e sub-treasury
would meet the same fate. The old say
ing that a bird in hand is worth two in
the bush is too true to doubt. So a bale
of cotton in hand is worth two under
mortgage. You know in the days of king
Solomon, gold and silver was so plentiful
that the silver lay about like rocks in
the streets of Buchanan, and yet poor
folks were no better off by it. And so it
would be by the sub-treasury.
I am a free silver democrat. I wouldn’t
care if it would rain down silver dollars
for forty days and nights, then clear off
showery. 1 am not opposed to tho sub
treasury plan, hut 1 don’t think it would
benefit the poor, nor do I think
if could be made
practicable. These are just my view's,
paregorical, upon the sub-treasury busi
ness. I know one thing, this is a mighty
big world and it takes aheap of money
to run it, but it takes bread, meat and
aii to keep soul and body together. 1 have
wondered off of the object of this let
ter which was togi : the news, prospects
etc., of Coweta.
The health of the county is generally
good, although there has been several

defining myself vipon the third party.
I stated then that I was opposed to the
third party and I beg to say now that I
view Has being both dangerous and has-;
unions to tjie interests of all true South- j
o.rncrs. I am frequently asked if I am op-1
posed to the Alliance. I answer, no, from J j
the depths of my heart. But let me tell
I you, my brother, the third part; mov
ment is contrary to the constitution i

How should wo net? In harmony with

has a grand and noble work to perform,

Oh, but says some, we must first organ

laws that will compell every member to

l )el sistctl in, will bring despair and woe
to the dearest creatures we have on earth,

there is nothing more sad than to be car¬
ried like a vessel away from the straight
course of principles to he left a stranded
outcast on the sail !s of dishonor.—
A man bolstering himself up in a position
he is not entitled ro. Capital! What is
j capital? Is it wliat a man has? Is it
counted in dollars and cents, stocks and
j bonus? Is it houses ami lands? I answer
I no! Capital is not wliat a man has, but
j what a man is. Character is capital, hon
i <>r is capital, but that is the most fearful
j u f ruin when character is gone, when in

bir a mess of poLagc. Jlien I repeat.
God save us from ruin like this! Perish

I am asked why I support the demo¬
cratic party? My answer is. because it’s
j the hope of the country; its the salvation
of the South, and he who sows the seeds
of discord will live to repent in sackcloth
and ashes. How many of our Order goes
to bed almost beggars? How many would
fain to u ’ akl: VP RWhchilds? Remember
whatyon have sown. Those who have
sown dunce seed and vice seed we think
