When a man grows rich from the income of a country newspaper he deserves to-be .called the best- business man.in the world, i’. S. We a>e not easily flattered. A great deal is being said .about what newspapers ought to do for the people. It now and then -might be proper to hiut •that the people ought to do something for ■the newspaper. John Wanaxakee, the great clothing prince of Philadelphia, carries the heaviest insurance policy issued to any man in A jmerica. It is for one million of dollars and it costs $60,000 a year to keep it up. An exchange says : Sam Jones advises , wives to threaten to quit their husbands if they don’t vote the prohibition ticket; and says if there were more grass widows in the country it would make prohibition, gain’s friends should put ice to his head. Evidently there is something wrong with it. It is said that the State farmers’ Al_ liance will choose out of the Alliance papers in the state one which will be anade the official organ for the order in (Georgia. The Advocate, published at Montezuma, will likely bo selected, since .it is strictly and altogether an Alliance paper. The Bronwood Ilepartcr says: “The jfvuoxvilfe (Oa.) Journal is a bright arid .entertaining paper, and deserves a liberal support from the peop! o of ‘Jrawforcl .county.” We were thinking the very same thing About the Jleporier before we struck the above pargraph. Koxvini.le, Zebulon and Fayetteville .are all old county sites whose legitimate .trade territory has been taken from them • and controlled by their move fortunate j .neighbors on the railroads. For years the people in these three sections have been contributing towards the building up of I other towns. But at last the day has come when these things must change. We have a broad guaged, well equipped railroad of .our own, by means of which we will be able to make our towns trade centers for the territory which should have belonged them before. We leave those with whom we have dealt, entertaining ouly kindest feelings towards them and best wishes for their success ; but our individual interests find the interests of our several comrnnities demaud that we build up a controlling trade of our own, and this w.e can and will do. Those who have managed our custom we stilt wish well, but the time and opportunity ba re oorne when we can and tpust work for .ourselves. The Kesnlt Declared. Fort Valley, Ga., July. 11th. 1888 —By virtue of the authority vested -invrhe, I do hereby declare that at the primary held in the 23rd Senatorial .District on the 4th inst. the consolidated returns show that B.

Sanford is tlie duly nominated candidate of the De¬ mocracy of raid district to represent the same-in the next Senate. W..D. Nottingham, Chairman Senatorial Ex.-Com. Tbe.peopie of this country might not make war on the high tariff if the gov¬ ernment alone reaped the benefit of it. As it is, a few of the wealthy are petted by the government almost entirely at the ex¬ pense of the hard,working. po»r. Monopoly is fostered, and disarinuuaitiou in made against the toilers under these laws. The Labor Probleiu Discussed. Below is an article written by Mr. E. S. Murphy, of Tike county, which first appeared,in the Alliance .Advocate : ■“We have no labor system, no reliable labor. There is nothing in the way of farm work that iB done satisfactorily, or that ^results in profit lo the landlord. All of this is the result of out failure to he organised. Our dependencies brought us jit the mercies other business classes, and between these and ?tbe negro, the ueg.ro has done us the most harm. .Nearly all of our troubles .'have grown out of this labor question ; the burdens of which we com¬ plain is but the result of our imperfect and labor system, from which the merchant has suffered nearly as much in¬ directly as we have. \Ye have asked the merchant to Jiclp us, and he has done so at his own risk, and about as cheap as he could afford under the systems of the country for which you are responsible, and not the merchant. The \\;ay in which we have sought his .help has been in a way unsatisfactory to him hut he has done it and taken the risk, and the consequences that nine out of ten have failed. The ol the farmer has ruined him, lie has never appreciated benefits of organ¬ ization, and in no other way could lie have seen so eloarlv his errors, and so easily coreected them as by' united effort. The farmer of today can’t have rules of his own, differing from fuse of his neighbors, ns he could before the war—then it was tint each farm could have systems and enforce them without being affected by the rules of neighboring farms, all of which now is very different. We must have uniformity in rules if we would hive.system and order prevail. This labor question in my opin¬ ion is one of the most important with which the alliance must d al if it will alleviate the troubles of the fanner! We must strike at the cause, of our troubles if we are to be relieved of them, Remove the cause and the troubles will remove themselves. I think most of the troubles from which we are suffering today age traceable to the lack of labor system. If we can’t control our farm operations then wo must indeed fail. Whenever the cm ploye controls mill dictates to the employer failure is the inevitable result. Let’s reg¬ ulate the price of labor and hire none but regular hands fur the year. Break up this day labor system—it is unsatisfactory and will always be unreliable, it encourages crime and idleness, the labor is not em ployed more than half of tlie year. By all means abolish from ti.e face of the sunny South has this ruined iniquitous labor negro tenant the system. It our and country. The negro as a tenant is a failure. Tlie reasons me staring you in the face. So there is no need to explain why: There is no pride his only nor aspiration ambition in is the negro in tenant; to get a condition where bo cannot be forced to work. You can never make anything out of the negro only as a Rand under your supervision. Take these questions iuto consideration, Alliancemen; think and act upon them, and reform will liave commenced.
