Congressman Charles K. Cri«p, of
Georgia, nn i flleer ol the
army, and now wi ving Ins fourth
term in Congress, is entitled to cred
itable mention by every journal of Ids
flHte for his aide resistance to the
usurpation of {speaker Heel He is
receiving commendation from even
republican journals, a good sign, by
the way, that Deed is misunderstand

braves in his blind partisan course,
The only good purpose such a man
as Reed serves is h ofiord opportuni
Yy lor the dev elopement of good men;
in this direction the efforts of Reed
Vo serve his party at the expense ol
bis country have a certain value
attached to them. He is helping to
make manifest the powers of such
tnen as Mr. Crisp, and impart to
them «rch public importance as to
'ensure the country the right kind ol
'defenders against usurpation and
treachery. 'I lie sword of Damocles
Is impending over the head ol Reed,
and men like Crisp will divide the

We are exceedingly happy to ho
able to state that a great deal of the
'excitement in Wnycross over the
sickness had its origin in scare rath
cr.tlmn in facts. The. Wnycross
llcporter presents us with the several
opinions cf the medical men of the
city in relation to the canal as a
producer ol sickness, lrom which we
me forced to the conclusion that the
cunulis innocent and the weather
the guilty ugent in the creation ol
"disorders.
The unseasonably hot and dry
weather and muluriul fogs have pro
duced n great deal of disease through
out a wide extent of country, which,
we hope, the recent rains and cooler
weather will servo to mitigate. We
congratulate Waycross on the return
to normal quietude, and think the
city Is under obligation to the Ur
porter lor the efforts of its public
spirited proprietor to arrest the
puiiie, and put uu end to noiseless
rumors.

shared and participated. Mr. Pen

The recent discus ions about the

Dancing.
In some quarters the question, is
dancing a sin, or is it not? is being
di.cussed with the usual amount
warmth, and the usual amount of
narrowness on either side, For
ourselves, were we to have the query
propounded to us, we think we
should reply that the sin involved in
dancing depended altogether upon
the time, the place, the circum
stances, and the spirit in which the
amusement is indulged.
II a person voluiitiuily unites with
a church whose rules forbid dancing,
accepting those rules as a guide of
life, and tacitly or in luct promising
to abide by them, and subsequently,
without withdrawal from that body,
wiltully flies iu the lace of those rules,
then we think that person is guilty
both ol offence uml bad maimers,
and consequently commits a sin,
because all such offence is a sin
uceording to the Christian code.
I But, out-idc of lins state of the

The principle of cooperation
jg aw88me( j to enstire mutual benefit,
| {ut at the basis of that cooperation
there is no underpinning ol mutual
tru.-t, and no confidence in any esprit
(lf , corps that generates and pre
a pense ol mutual honor. It
- 1H a tssmj>ic matter ol business, and,
j rom a commercial standpoint,
may lie said ol it that the plan is ex
ccllent.
That the farmers have had a hard
road to travel since the war, combat
ing labor troubles, straitened cir
cumstances, and political complica
tions, cannot be denied, No/ have
they always, perhaps, been dealt
with, in their financial transactions,
in a spirit of fairness and honesty.
But lies not the farmer, as a rule, a
great deal to blame himsell lor,
evil times have befallen him, and
embarrassments have overtaken him?

Hus not credit proved too strong an
a || U rement in inducing him to run
into debt to supply himself with lux
uries lie could, temporarily, at least,
dispense with? The distance ol pay
day has diminished the senso of its
iticonveience and certainty, and too
often has the factor or the merchant
been viewed as nn enemy, lighting
the farmer with long.bills and heavy
mortgages, when those long bills
and heavy mortgages have been the
creation of a reckless expenditure for
which neither factor nor merchant is
at all responsible. Credit, in fact,
has been the ruin ol the farmer and
the bane ol the merchant.
The Alliance proposes to establish
Colton Exchanges and banks. It
proposes to surround itself with a
sort of Chinese wall of separation.
To constitute itself a “corner” in the
provision market, a monopoly fn the
money muiket, a class family of ex
elusives whose very existance ■
through its noli me tangere charac
teristics, must antagonize all beyond
its circle. But human nature is hu
man nature. II mutual trust is so
evidently lacking now within them
selves, will a more intimate acquain
tance with each ether, superinduced
by cooperation, create it? 8o large
Ul " 1 powerful a body operating on
plans tor creating banks and con
ducting Exchanges must, in the
nature of things, repose almost iln
limited confidence in the business
I capacity, financial skill, unimpeach
j able honor, and general tact of their
I officers and leaders. Their plan tells
us that tho ranks must be watched.
How about the officers? Who is to
j watch them ?
The banking system of our gov
eminent may favor the interests ol
capitalists and manufacturers, ena
b ing them to control the volume
currency to the injury of the farmer
when his crop is being put on the
"'a.ket, as was shown by the Nation
al Alliance at St. Louis, ll the par
chasing power or inonev is fictitious
l ly increased, ami the value ol agri
eulturai products at tlie same time
decreased, will the financial plan
the Alliance restore the equilibrium,
or will it determine the scale so far
in the other direction that between
the two evils the masses suffer the
most ? tor, after all. the interests of
the farmer are identical with tne
people, to whom it is u matter of in
difference “under which King. or
monopoly, they live or die,” King
Alliance' or King Capital, if one or
the other is their inevitable late.
Time is the great solvent of all
problems. The farmer is a great and
important factor in the luture of cur
country. Far be it lrom u< to under
rate or belittle him. It may lie that

Ga., Feb. 10, 1890.—Our
tittle town has been lavored of late
by a visit of Miss Beulah Kay, and
also fry Kev. Mr. Carruway, who has
spent several days in our midst. He
preached a most impressive sermon
, “* W,l * y
conference. He was assisted by Mr
Purnell, of Dale's Mill. The Meth
odist’s hare a large congregation at
this place and also a flourishing
Sunday school, which latter is pre
sided over by Mr. Grady. He Is a
zealous wmker and his effoit? nu
doubt will be well rewarded. Scrcv
en has now in operation b most
excellent school with Prof. R. A,
Ca-well in charge, and as this is his
third term, it is a guarantee of his
popularity both as a teacher and as
a man. Prof. Ca.-well is from Hines
vflle. Liberty county; was a pupil ol
that noted school, and is highly en
dorsed by Opt. Bradwell, and we
consider ourselves fortunate in secur
ing his services.
The alliancemen of this place arc
gradually growing stronger, and
have rented a Comfortable, store
in which they have a small stock
goods, hoping at an early date to
buy larger supplies of goods. The
store is in charge of Mr. Silas Thorn
ton.
Mr. I rani Thortton, a young
man living near this place, narrowly
escaped death by being thrown lrom
his horse against a tree, the horse
killing himsClf instantly, and the fact
that the horse came in Contact with
the tree before the young man
alone saved his life.
Mr. W. II. McNeal has closed his

leave us in a lew days.
