Tho 41Us!>co-=-Seeret? of th'? 'Order ItovortleO-How the Monibors aro In HluteuY " Ever since the Farmers' Alliance movement was inaugurated, tho un initiated and inelligiblo public, has boon racked with curiosity to loam tho scovots of the ordor and their modo of bvoaldng in new members. Somohow our Alliance friends have guarded their secrets with unusual vigilance, but it is left lo the Mar to tear away the veil of mystery that has surrounded this high and noble ordor, and lay before our inquisitivo rondors information never beforo published in any oilier newspaper. We have for months kept our best reporters on the alert, and employed the most experienced interviewers to un fathom the secrets of thc Alliance, but without avail until last week, whon, by chance, the ?Star editor discovered the carefully guarded so crots. It was our good fortune, during a recent trip to Oglethorpe county, to spend, near tho hospitable village of Crawford, a night with a friend who had just gone through the trying or deal that separates the outside world from thc Farmers' Alliance. Thc friend, whom we shall designate as MeKeovcr, we found the most but tered wreck of humanity we have ever met, while his usually h find some face wore an abject look of terror, misery and despair. Wo found MoKcbvor in sad need of sym pathy, and by pouring a few vials of pity and consolation on his head, succeeded in extracting from him the following history of hi? woes but after we had applied thc cork screw of a professional interviewer, and sworn, on a pile of patent ofllec reports as high as our head, that wo would never divulge tho information that he gave us. You see before yon, explained McKoovor, a newly-made, bul only half-Hedged Farmers' Alliaucoinan. You know that during my checkered caieer I have been a regular jincr, and eagerly went into every secret Organization that cann' along. I Have ridden tho Masonic goat, dimed tho greased pole of the Odd Fellows, been thrown down tile Knights of Honor stairsteps ami fell sprawling over the fences built in my path by thc Grangers, and actually took a drink of waler when I joined the Good Templars ; hut these initialing programmes were as downy bods ol' ease compared with tho trying or deal through which 1 passed yester day at tho hands of tho Farmers' Alliance. I had formed an idea that as soon as 1 joined the Alliance the mortgage against my farm, stock and crop would moulder into ashes, while that old long-standing store account would disappear from tho face of the books; that I would hfivo tho privil?ge of fixing my own prices on goods, and force thc liu rehant lo pay mc twenty couts a pound for cotton. So I made up my mind to join the Alliance, and yesterday, donning my Sunday-go-to-meeting clothes, repaired to tho school house, where the order met, and sent in my application by n neighbor who was a charier member. In due season the glad tidings were conveyed to ino that 1 had been balloted foi' and ac cepted, and boiling over with cager gratification, followed by my conduc tor into thc wood-room adjoining thc main building. Here my guard made our presence known by picking ii]) a section of fence rail and rap ping three times on tho door. This gent?o signal was answered by three raps from within and tho query: "Who comes lhere?" "A horny-handed son of toil, grop ing ill darkness, and anxious to have tho light of tho Alliance shed upon him," replied my guide. "Break down the barricade that stands between a Brother Fariner and light, and .admit the applicant," spoke a sonorous voice" from within. Just, at this instant thc old door, which hail been removed from hs hinges, was kicked over, and strik ing mc on top Of thc head, raised this lump you see here. I thought it was an accident at that time, and so made up my mind lo grin and bear tho pain. Two stout men stepped forth and violently seizing mo by tho ann, I was carried into the middle of the main room. 1 saw that the house was pretty well lilied with specta tors. Sitting on lop of n cotton v bale was the (baud Mogul of the order, as 1 af toi" wards learned. On his right a section of rail fence had been built and astride of this was another ofticcr. Oil his left sat a third ollicial with a pile of guano sacks under him, which I believe wa? the Grand Secretary. 1 no ticed that all th? ollieers and their assistants were in their shirt-sleeves, and wore jeans pants held.up by one suspender each. . These parties, 1 afterwards discovered, represented the present poverty-stricken condi tion of-tho farmers. In one corner stood six men, arrayed in their best store clothes and plug hats, and each had a feather pillow rammed into his panis to represent high liv ing, who were to act ns merchants. I had scarcely time to take a hasty glance around the room when a fol low ??cpped up and taihoa about ft, pint of guano into my face, and bo foro T had timo to wipe my oyo? or 8p5t out tho stuff, my sight was ob scured by an old guano sack-that didn't smell by any moans like tho last rose of si mmer-hoing bound over my orbs of vision. I was then led three times around the room ami halted in front ot tho Grand Tycoon on tho cotton bale. "Bonightcd brother farmer, who hath boon groping in darkness, tho light of organized agriculturalists la now about to break upon you-" spake thc Tycoon. "You are now within tlie sacred precincts of tho Farmers' Alliance, and in order to indelibly lix upon your mind great truths, >V? will proceed to carry you through thc ordeal of initiation. That handful of guano cast into your eyes is intended to show you thc folly of an undue usc of this cx jicnsive commodity. A limited use of guano in tho right place is pro per ; but you will not, I hope, soon forget thc lesson taught you about its abuse. Now carry thc benighted brother lo tho Grand Vice-Tycoon for further instruction." I was then violently turned around, my guards released mc, and I was told to go straightforward at a brisk trot. This I did, but soon ran against a ten rail fence that had boen secretly built in my path, and in-thc fall was skinned from head to heels. I was soon brought up stand ing again, the guano sack removed from over my eyes, and I was car ried before the fellow silting on the pile of sacks. With a look of pity ing contempt this Vice-Tycoon spake 10 mc thusly : "Bo nigh tod brother farmer, sook inti the light of truth, wc adminis tered to you the Fence Degree, in order to impress upon your mind the fact that to bc a prosperous farmer, 11 is necessary lo avoid a too oloS'J intimacy with a feneo. It is thc habit ot' too many farmers lo sit astrid? a rail and watch a nigger Work his crop. We trust thal the lesson you have just learned will not bo lost. Thc six well-dressed men you see over in. that corner repre sents the mercantile world, and wc will now proceed to admiiislor to you what il known in tho Alliance as the Ox, or Mower of W ood De gree." My guide then stepped up and ty ing a board over my eyes-like they ?lo fence-breaking steers-I was led into tho cemter of the room. Soon I hoard a great scuffling at the door, and the six fellows representing mer chants forced into tho j oom a little spotted bull calf, as wild as a Texas pony, lie was brought up along side of mc, and the pair of us yoked together, ono of thc merchants hold ing :i rope tied in the ring of the yoko. I thought 1 had seen pretty tough times, but I soon knew that my past experience was but child's play compared with the ordeal be fore mc. That little bull and I wore turned loose, and thc lime wc made around thal room would shame a race horse. I knew 1 had to keep up or my neck would be broke. It j had always been a mystery to mb how n steer could turn its yoke, bul lil is ho longer a secret. Tho bull turned his twice and I turned minc three times. I yelled tor s<une ono lo head us, but the louder I hollered Ibo faster the little bull traveled. .lust ?is I gave myself i for lost we wore brought to a standstill, the yoke removed from my bruised and bleed ing nock, and I was again lcd before tho ti rand Tycoon, who consolingly addressed nie thusly : "Benighted brother, seeking wis dom, the lesson you have just re ceived is lo impress upon your mind (lie sad truth that you are but a boast of burden for the commercial world. The merchant has a yoke ol' servitude upon sour neck, and you CHI only look for relief to a Far mers' AHiancemnn. We will now administer lo yon another degree I showing the diff?rence between cash ami credit." I was again taken in hand by two inc reliants, who forcibly tied a strong cord around each ol' my thumbs, and in n twinkling I was suspended lo a ri(lg0-polc. That I yelled with pain and begged for morey, if is needless lo add. One of my torturers de manded to know bow much cash I would pay him to bo released. I offered all the money in my pocket, which Was b\r) cents. Ile agreed to Iel nie down for iii cash or *ln on credit, secured by a mortgage, lien, deed or gift and waiver note on my farm, stock, wife and children. I eagerly accepted, and oil bein re leased stepped up to thc (able, and ill thc presence of two witlK -is signed tho paper. I w.-;* thou led before tllO oiticcr astride the worm fence, who explained the Thumb Swinging degree as follows: "Benighted brother, the ordeal which you have just passed through is administered for the purpose ?d' reminding you that there is a broad difference bid ween buying for cash and buying on credit. One dollar in hand would have saved you from all that misery; bul for a lack of thc ready cash you were forced (o pay i ten timos thc required sum. This is j thc last degree we will a ?minster to you ut tins mooting. Thoro uro yot seventeen othor degrees roouirod, iii lustr?t jug tho different trials in a farmer's life, before you aro a full blown member of tho Alliance. I will slate that they aro Bomowhnt severer than the initiations through which you have just passed, but you will muster up tho resolution to bear them." Well, continued McKeever, I am entirely satisfied with my Alli ance experience, and I don't think there is a log-chain in Oglethorpe county strong onough to draw me to another meeting.-1'Jlbcrton /Star.
