Some Hard tfnts To Crack For Poli

'?The Alliance Greater Than Its Lead
e^s" the Subject of a Bright Art
icle By^Farmer's Advocate.
The Alliance Greater than its
' Leaders.? Ti e Farmer's Alli&ace, as the
great farmers' organization that is awak
ening so ranch alirra in political circles is
called, is infinitely greater than any one
or dozen men in it. There is not an
individual member enicUed on its list of
membership, from the president down,
that would oofHx' fr'rven to understand
by evidence most unmistakable that h:s
services are olIv neces3iry ia so far as
hi* utterances and influence harmonize
with the demands of the united organ
ization. No man,: we care nat who he
is or what have been his past; services,
can deviate a hair's breadth from the
course mapped out but that h?, is check
ed by a reminder that the path in which
he is to walk is a> straight and narrow as
the way lo glory, and the admonition,
"walk thou in it/' accompanies the 're
minder. There is no instance now re
corded where any one man or set of men
who attempted to run the machine to
suit his or their personal ambition, but
what he oc they c<me to grief. If this
-is so with those within the ranks, it is
a,also true of those without, as has been
^already forcibly illustrated. This is one
of the most significant facts which goes
to make up the grand aggregate of tes'i
mony that the Alliance is ir ost thor
oughly organized, and it is a unit in its
conception of the evil* against ivhich it is
contending and thoroughly ic harmony
as to the remedies necessary to correct
existing abuses. No out*ide issues seem
to disturb or distract They have their
cyeslmd mind iteadfastly fixed upon the
goaKhey have net out to reach. . Ridi
cule. sophistry, abuse or appeal are
equally vain. They are moving as an
avalanche, gathering in volumes of mem
bers as they move, and defeat cr di aster
awaits every issue or policy which im
pedes their advice. One year ago pol
iticians scorned And ridiculed it; one
? year hence tbf^will tremble and quake
as they are scattered like chaff in the
current which accompanies it. The
cloud is gathering, the storm is approach
ing. We are ati anny of men.' every one
of which is a leader, and the singleness
and oneness of purpose quiets discord
jealousies. ? Fa-nWn Ad
Washington, D. C., ? Electricity for
the fanners is Senator Peffer's latest
legislative idea The Kansan has intro
du ed a bill which requires the Secretary
of Agriculture tc> establish an electrical
experiment station in which shall be de
termined the question whether electricity
can be profitably used and applied as a
motive power in the propulsion of farra
implements and nachinery. Before -the
station is established somebody h*3 to
douate to the government the use of the
grounds and buildings which may be
necessary. Without this individual or
municipal generosity there can be no
station, aad the Secretary of Agriculture,
will have no opportunity to spend the
110,000 appropriated by the bill.
Twenty-three immig auta who ^ar- J
rived at Xew York on thd steamer ^Al
len," were debarred from landing by the
Alien Contract Labor ^aw. This may
seem a hardship to some, but the majority
of our citizens feel that immigration
must be regulated much more carefully
in the future thar; it has been in the past.
The alien tide grows fuller and stronger
every year. Our superior advantages
here, such as the greater liberty, freedom
from burdensome taxation and from mili
tary servitude for a term of the b st years
of life, higher wages and fewer hours of
labor than.- in the old countries, the op
portunity ol rising socially? ail these
operate to increase immigration. *And
along with many sturdy, honest, industri
ous men and women seeking hones -and
rJarger opportunities for good citizenship,
comes a horde of paupers, criminals and
convicts that is a curse aod a reproach to
any people. Thin is the land of the brave
and the home of the free, but it is not a
poor-house, nor a peni'en iary oitlet. ?

The Reformer lays d$wn the fol low- '
iag propositions, and chsdlcnges anybody
to successfully coilradict them upon the
authority of any respectable writer on
political economy or by the ex^cicnce of
the pa t:
First: That the proper and real func
> tion of money is to facilitate exchange of
,propej*i.
SoconcN/That the volume necessary de
pends nponHhe population and business
of the countn^.and not on the psodiqpt
of minos.
Third : That prices rise or faU in -pro
tion to the increitse or decrease in the ;
Tolnme of currency. ?
Fourth: Thai ccin money (gold , and
silver) has- failed evory civilized nation
that ever tried it.
Fltb : That when coin faifed, paper
L !
money came to the rescue and answered I
every purpose $f coin money.
Sixth: Thatfto preserve uniform
prices of commodities, we must save a
uniform volume of currency, expanding
as occasion requires.
Seventh: That banker* cannot be de
pended upon to preserve^ uniform vol
ume of currency.
Eighth : That a uniform volume can-*
not be sustained with gold and silver ;
either as money or a basis /or the circu
lating medium.
Ninth: That there i9 not gold and sil
ver enough in the world to^urnish one
tenth enough money for the convenient
transaction of business.
Tenth: That in the light of past his
tory and experience specie basis is a
fraud and aTelic of barbarism
Eleventh: That the money of one
country has nothing to do with the mon
ey of ap other : that the balance of trade
is adjusted not in money, but in. <oin a?
a commodity. The money of one nation
is not money in any other nation.
Twelfth; That paper money, founded
upon the credit of the government (all
the people), made a ftfl legal tender,
and receivable for taxes of all kinds, is
the best and most perfect medium of ex
change it is possible to have ? National

TEMPLE FARM AT YORKTOWN.
YZ
Cornwallis.
Tho Scene of the Surrender of Lord
Washington, D. C. ?A bill has been
introduced in Congress authorizing the
purchase by the Government of Temple
Farm at Vorktowe, Va. This place
was the 'scene of the most important
event, to use"fhe language of the bill, in
our national history, as it was
"there- the rights asserted in the decla
ration of independence were secured by
surrender of Lord Cornwallis and the
British army and navy to Gen. Wash
ington." There is still standing, in
about the centre of this farm, which
contains some 500 acrcs. the old Moore
bouse, in which the terms of surrender
were arranged for the proud army and
navy, with its haughty commander,
Cornwallis. It was also the headquar
ters of Gen. Washington, Gen. Lafayette
and Count De Rocharobeau immediately
before and during the time of Cornwallis'
surrender. The bouse is still in a state
of preservation, and during the centen
nial celebration of 1881, which was held
on this farm, tbe Moore house was ele
gantly furnished and turned over to the
French guests, decendauts of Lafayette
and De Kochambeau.
The Government has erected a fine
monument at.Yorktown to commemorate
the victory here gained over the British.
A national cemetery is ia this vicinity^
A sum not- to ex eed $100,000 is named" '
in the bill for the purchase of this
farm.

Atlanta, Ga.? Robert H. Hortor, a
poor white cropper, was convicted in
Washington county last week for man
slaughter, and citizens of that county are
here trying to induce the Governor to ,
pardon him.
It was brought out at the trial that j
Horton was employed in 1884 by J. J. j
Garner, then a rich citizen of this county, j
Garner, after months of tempta
tion, ruined the pcor white cropper's
handsome wife. Horton moved away
and Garner followed. Last year Horton
killed him. i
After the case was given to the jufy
it became apparent that the jury was
"hitched," and Judge Wriggs exclaim
ed : '."There is a school teacher on that
|xiry, and he is quibbling over the mean
ing of the j words 1 in imminent dan
ger ?
The verdict was returned Saturday
morning and it becampkiown that the
JU17 on going out stood eleven for ac

The Famous Sua-Do-JCove Divine j
la Again Wedded
Richmond, Ya- ?Rev. Jchn Jasper and
Mary Cary were married in the evening at
4 o'clock. The cereaoony took place at
the bride's one-story home, ho" 10$
west JHill street. This thoroughfare is
?about tea squares north of Clay street
andLtwo blocks west of St. James. It
is not a fashionable portion of Jackson
ward, neither do the: residents thereon
go in for progressive euchre dqring the
winter months or lawn tennis d tying the
summer time. For ways that are dark
Hill street eould Uke the premium ovt-r
any Celestial that Bret Harte ever met,
and for mud-'pudcjles, broken down
pavements and sickly-looking gas lamps, ,
the thoroughfare would compare most
favorably to any street jh Beaver Dam'
or Screamersville. i ' %
4 Long before the hour for;- the cere- -
mony a large crowd collected in front of
the house, and the small front room was
packed with people fully a halfrhour
before Jasper- arrived. K. H. Glover,
the pastor's son-in-law,* acted as ioor
keeper, and it required hi* best muscu-i
lar efforts to keep the crow&r out, while
those who were entitled to a^dmissibQ:
completely filled the room. Hot is not
expressive enough to convey any idea of!
the temperature of that 'room. It was
something awful, and there the people
stood wedged against each other like as
many human sardiues. To reach your
handkerchief to mop your face required
about as much physical exert on as Ku-:
aie uses to p'nchfcine innings, And once
your hand above your head you could
never ge? it down to your waist again.
About 9 o'clock Jasper arrived, attired
in a dark suit, including a Prince Al-j
bert coat, white neck-tie. gold shirt but
tons, lavender gloves and a silk hat. The
bride was attired in a lilac silk, em-,
press style, trimmed with chiffon and"
/lace, and a wreath of orange blossoms
mixed their lily wh tengss with the
black kiuky hair. A white lace veil com- j
pleted the costume.
The ceremony was performed by Dea~
con J.- W. Turner, of R-v. Jasper's ':
church, and Rev. C. u. Phillips, of Bea
ver Dam, offered t dtfing the j
ceremony. The Episcopal service was
used and the patois was somelhtng incom
patible with the.usuul rendition of the,
( eremony. As soon as the benediction i
had beep pronounced, Turntr in a sten
torian tone said: "Salute your bride,"
and Jasper gave his wife a loud resound- j
ing smack. The crowd present iru i
mediately closed in on mc coup'e and ;
kissing and hand-shakes were soon as
common as mosquitoes in August.
The groom is about eighty yeare old,
and this isshis fourth marriage. Be is the
father of Mb daughters and a ton fijk I j
several grandchildren. The bride was a
wi low with one child and three grand
children.
The bride carried a boqnet of violet1;

Serious Shooting Affray Between Ne*
g-roes of tho Two Carolina*.
Kekshaw, S. C? A general shooting
affray occuvrcd at the Haile Gold Mine,
on Sunday, between the negroes of North
Carolina and South Carolina It 6ecms
that a negro named Bill Reid was dis
charged recently by the underground
foreman, Wm. H. Reid. Later the
negro started toward Mr. Reid, making
threats, and one Andy Abel interposed,
asking the negro please not to hurt Mr.
Rcid. A fracas ensued. Bill was from
North Carolina, and ^there was bad feel
ing brewing between the negroes of the
two States. So on Monday morning a
few workmen from each State decided
that they would settle the matter. The
result was that three men were wounded,
riamely: John Hart, shot between the
shoulders; Milus Stokes, shot in the leg;
George Harlick, shot in the jirm. The
wounds are not necessa:ily fatal, bdt
John Hart's case is not very favorable.

The Times-Democrat this morning
?uys editorially: "Not only has the
Orescent City declared in favor of the

teard from the parishes indicates that
instead of the New Orleans majority for

There is thus a practical certainty that
the McEnery ticket has been elected by |

2.. Can rtce be grown upon a consid
erable port toft of the area now devoted
to cotton culture? This\is a more dif- I
?cult question to answer, so . as r not to
mislead any one. Our conviction is that
it can be grown. We have observed
volunteer hills of rice very frequently in
jur cotton and qorn fields, and j they
have iavariablv made good, heavy heads.
A neighbor's field that has been run in j
cotton excluiively' for a loog time, and I
that is moreover distinctly high-land,
well adapted to cotton, was ^successfully
cultivated inrioi long ajjo? indeed, we
havefmtaenfl/ heard of the' wondierful
rice maide W that field. These observations
lead us; to occlude that rice may be suc
cessfully grown upon very largo, por
tion of the lands of the State; heretofore
ran in cotton. At any rate I we were
sufficiently impressed wifii the prob
ability of success to sefc apart for that
purpose, some time ago, a portion of the
area originally intended for cx>tton this
year. . ^ ' 1 !
As to the time and method of ; planting.
Select the land, giving preference to
low-lying lands and bottoms. Prepare
it as if for cotton.\ The planting should ,
begin about the same time as torn or a
little later. Having selected the seed I
carefully, open Ute bed with an old bull
tongue or the plow foot. Then drop
three to six orams of rice at intervals of
fifteen to eighteen inches. Bhih over
lightly with a board fastened to a plow,
j Be careful not to cover too deep ; aqd if
packing rains come, it may be necessary
to run a light harrow or light rake over
the beds when the plenty begii to come
up. There is more danger of having too
many stalks thao toq few in j the hill..
Subsequent culture is' very similar *to
that of cotton? SeUdiont from Editorial
" CotUmi Plant:'? Orapgebvrg, 0. U., S . (7.
*We are informed that the range of

Progress of the South.
lu its issue for this week the Manu
f'tdunrs Record , of Baltimore, pre
sents a summary of Dew enterprises '
started in the South since tbe beginning
of the year, showing that Dew concerns
have been organized as follows: 1 blast
furnace, 21 machine shops and foundries,
2 agricultural implement factories, 18
flour mills, 9 cotton mills, 9 furniture
factories, 2 gas work*, 18 water works,
C carriage and wagon factories. 30 elec
tric light plants, 130 mines ana quarries,
,123 woodworking factories, 26 ice facto
ries, 14 canning works, 3 stove found
ries, 23 brick works, 6 miscellaneous
iron working establishments, 2 cottou
compresses, 10 cottonseed oil mills and
283 other establishments of miscel
laneous chiractj/T
Commeotta^upon these figures, the
Manufaetvrers' Record sajs;
"We want to disabuse our readers of
the idea that the South is booming, and
in place of this impression we desire to*,
prove to the world that the South is de
veloping steadily, surely and in a
healthy manner. Enterprises that are
no* being established in the South are
put there to ?tay. They are not being
projected to msike a show of activity, but
to continue upon a legitimate, sub
stantial basis. There is probably less
speculation inrthc South at present than
at any time in many years pss% and this
is the most encouraging of the present
situation . The South is moving forward
now upon the lines of conservative leg
itimate business, and in the long run
this means more good honest money in
tbe pockets of all concerned."

that tire accused^ said ' Porter is dead.
He ought to have been dead lo. g go,

Whe Shot
s Augusta, Ga. ? New* has been re
ceived here of the murder of Bishop
Jones, * noted colored; preacher in - Al
lendale, 8. C., on Inured ay night.
Jones formerly preached here, but went
to Allendale to .preach sanctification and
perfect holiness. He succeeded in get
ting a following, mostly women.
bome of the husbands of the women
objected, and there was a division amoog
the colored people of the town. . The
anti-holiness people tried to dislodge the
Bishop. They prosecuted him for va
grancy, but he made aj good showing on
the trial, many womeb testifying that
they willingly contributed to his sup*
port, and that they Would give him the
last cent. of their earnings if necessary.
Then several men, disguised as 'wo
men, waylaid the Bishop at night. He
was bewildered and overwhelmed at so
much feminine attention and readily felt
into the arms of his assailants. A short
time aftward his adherents built a church,
in which the Bishop preached.
On Thursday night last setwice was
going on in what they called the Holy
Temple. The Bishop hud prayed and
taken a chair in the pulpit, und an as
sistant had begun to preach. A side
window wis stealthily opened, ?he muz
zle of a gun was tnhist through, and a
report followed. *
The door of the church was shut. The
murderers had taken the precaution to
fasten it from the outside. Upon the
discbarge of the gun every light was ex
tinguished. Then there was great con
fusion. Women screanpcd and expected
instant death. I
Some one finally struck a light, and it
was found that the Bishop was dead
Justice Mixson and h jnry of fourteen
white citizens investigated the matter
for two d*ys, but up to a late hour no
clue was found t j warrant the arrest of
any one.
