I raid 1 stood un the Dent- tio platform and that I was in favor Tcry plank in it. I said more than t—that any Democrat who went into a test, whel her he agreed with the major* or with the luinority upon any propo- on adopted by a Democratio con- tion, that h« was bound by the action the majority, or he could not be a good and square Democrat. [Applau.se] I said that 1 had ever been and ever would be bound by the majority vote in the Dflaioeratie party anywhere and every where. [Appliiiise]. When 1 accepted the nomination at the hands of the Deiuoeratic party in the Fifth Congressiouul district (and there •re those in the house, perhaps, that heard me in uiy acceptance) in winding op my speech I said: “Democrats of the Fifth Congressional district, this banner thac you have placed in my hands shall never trail in the dust while outumiited to my keeping. That does not amount to anything, I ioppose. Was there an “ir* in that? Some of theae Jeffersonian “straights” want to know if[ would vote for Crisp. I said yes, as a Qeorgian I would. I preferred him for two two reasons but (hey were not satisfied with that, fur they oame around on the edges and wanted to knows after two or three days in the At lanta papers if I would go into a Demo cratic caucus when I got to Washington City and abide by the caucus in all strict ly party questions that came before that caucus. I said, yes, I would. But af tersay ing all these things, and making that ipeech of three-quarters of an hour • few •ighta ago, I am to he subjected toa few more quusiiuns, and another catcchism or two from a fuw more newspapers. When will that end? I want to say to some Danoorata in this country: My dear flienda, I want to say to you who have liever broaght anything into the Demo- cratie party, that I am going to watch jou and aee that you don’t take anything oat of it. [Laughter and applause.] There are plenty of Democrats in the country that would die and be buried to>norrew, and the only thing they oonld aay waa that they bad voted for a Dem- oteat if be suited them, and if he didn't they voted against him. They are ' the very men who are sitting in judgmenti vpoD the other fellows. 1 said if yoi would atand upon this D«mr,oratic pl^ form, if you woald come and meet tS Alliance Democrats of thk eountry niH these two g/eat fundamental prindpleXf Democracy, “Equal rights to all, sn^ ptivilegea to none,” and local se^gy. emment, I would guarantee th^ (ijg Alliance Demociats would 8trikc|'|,|gjg with you, and we would be Democrats of Georgia and Democrats of th/ whole country, hand-in hand and Qul-in- heart. [Applause.] I aver, as president of the Slate V •noe, there is not one single “BmiggeQ» of iMMaon to the P^ocratio or agidnst the goverpmobt within an ^lUance lodge. There never has been, an|^ there Mvw will be, I du not auppose, What •!« the Allianoe people doingjl what Axhoir lecturera^mr wj^en th^ to thopablie? THe/ t4|ti%it thi^tl,^ tax- Mion k m^nst.

They tell you that foreigners are taking up onr land and sending it tenants from Europe debauched snd full of crime, and onltivatiog those large-areas (if land. We are opposed to it. We want our land fur our children and out own people. They toll you that. They tell you they are in favor of a fair ballot, not under the 8upcrvi>iion of the United Slates. There is not a eioglo doctiine held by the Alliance people that does not tend to lessen. and to remove abuoes by (he (Tovcrnment. The old Democratic office holders when I wan a boy dared not offer for office a second time, if they had not put their voien and their tongue and their power against every single constitutional in fringement, and every single abuse from party government. [Applause.] That was tho kind of Democracy men had to measure up to when I was a boy. That is just what these Farmers' Alliances are driving after, light now, and they have their heads on it, and they are coming like a cyclone, and they are coming in the Democratic party, and some of you follows had better look out. [Applause] It is the object of the Alliance and their leaders to harmonize, and not to divide, not to dis tract. I want to say thi^; I du think in my soul that a peaco breaker and a peace disturber, a neighborhood broiler, a man who hunts around, whether ic polities, in the church or in the neigh borhood, or iu tho family fur a division, and fur strife, I do think that Oud Al mighty and the country has got less utt for that fellow than for anybody else. [ApplauM]. I read it this way in the Scripturcs,“ B'.cs^ed are the peace makers." I tell you my dear friends we have found in the Alliance order since wo have or ganized in Georgia, “Blessed is the peace maker.” We have found that the man who goes around stirring up strife, get ting up division, is a curse to our order, and I want to tell you Democrats who do not belong to the Allianoe, who think we are not Democrats, if you catch him you will catch a tartar. You had better let him slip through your fingers into the Republican or the Third party ranks, and thank God when he goes. What do you want? Peace? Yes. And harmony? Yes. Union? Yes. United effort? Yes. Why? Because, for twenty-five yean we have labored to a disadvantage polically, financially, commercially. We have been dominated. 1 use the word advisedly, I do not take it back. We have been dominated, financially and commercially, for twenty- five yean. A few yean ago the farmers of Oeoigia owned 76 per cent, of all the business and the wealth, and the lands of Georgia, but to-day we own only 17 per cent. Within the last three yean the cities have grown immensoly in prop erty, in taxable property. The cities hB|r^?ej( nilliohs in three yean, and tVcountry has low millions. What do m want? Do we want to fight? Fight ftb other? It remiwds me oftwo angry Bttcns fighting over a bone. For God’s Lke let us stop. Thera is’1>ut one way out of the trouble, and wat is by united effort on the part of everf single man in the whole country. Our enemies want a division. Our enemies laugh in their sleeves and gloat to see \ns divided. They say as long as we keep ihe lawyers, and the merchants, and the far^mers fight ing each other we will manag^ the fi nances, and the nommerce, and the poli tics to suit ourselves. [Applanse.] And here we are a set of fools, if you will ez- cuae; every man engaged in it is a natural born fool, and if he follows it any longer he is a knave. [Applause ] Here we are, eaoh other, while our ene- ml^ glMt over it, fattening over our dis sensions. There is another reason why we cannot afford it. Lying du'vn %nder thit social fabpc of this pdllptry is a combustible olemeiit cahnot get rid of, and We must stand united. You know what els- ment I refer to. That b our ohjtiot; that is the o’^jvHitofthe Alliance pouple, and my whole speech the other nisht to thoM young Democrats waa on that line. I beg you to remember that Atlanta is not one-half of Georgia, or this oountry, and you nice, young clever men are not the only Democrats iu this country, but these men who wear brogan shoos are Demo crats also. I am going to tell you tho truth to night. Gentloui>n of tho Demuerutio par- ty, if you don’t get down to harmony;Alli- anoe people if you don’t.get down to harmo- ny, if you don’t track that line, this coun try is gone, and your liberties are gone with it. A FLORIDA LAKE CONE. DBT LAND WHERE 8TBAMB0AT8 RAN AND ALLIQATORa PLAYED. A very peculiar spectacle was to be seen on the outskirts of Gainesville last woek. Alachua lake, a sheet of water from ten to fifteen miles in length and covering some 40,000 acres of land, is no more. On its banks were lying thousands of dead fish, dead alligators floated ghastly in pools of black water and the atmos phere was heavy with noxious gases. Men and boys were there in throngs, crowding around the pools left by the receding waters, and with hoes and rakes dragging to shore hundreds of tish which had sau^ht their depths for refuge. The waters were fairly alive with their strug gles for ezisteuco. Except for a small stream known as Payne's creek, flowing from Newman’s lake into tho sink, the two main bai-ins of the sink and a few stagnant pools, no water is now to be seen whnre a few years ago steamers were piowiug their way. This is the second (imo since 1823 that a similar occurrencu has taken place. At that time, the earliest in which there is any record of that part of the oountry, the bed of the lake was a large prairie, Payne’s prairie, having in it a body of water called the sin k and s small creek. In 1868 heavy rains filled up the prairie, but the water disappeared after a short time an d tho prairie was- again dry land. In 1873, after a series of heavy I'aint, the sink ovei flowed and the crcek awell- ed to the demeosions of a lake. During several yean the water ' in creased till a larger lake was formed, and for fully fifteen years sufficient depth of water stood over the pnirie to allow of small steamen. During the last (wo yean, however, (he waten have been gradually lowering, and about three weeks ago they commen ced going down with surprising rapidity, the lake falling about eight feet in ten days, until now nothing is left of Alachua Lake but the memory of it. The sink is considered the cause of this change. There Is evidently an under ground pasiagc connected with it, and for some reason not understood this under ground passage haa been acting aa a drain until all the water in the lake has been drawn out.—Atlanta Constitution. 8AVB MONET AND SUrrEBtNQ.—Ooo feature of the thousands of testimonials that have been given in behalf of S. S. S. is remarkable. In numbers of instances it is related that a great deal of timo and money have been spent in a vain effort to secure relief from disease in the usual way. A knowledge of the virtues of Swifti’s Specific would have saved the time and the money, to aay nothing of the prevention of the suffering. - There need be no such mistakes made now.

Tho usually quiet little city of South Wc^Ci(y, Mo., was thrown into intenie ezcitemont yesterday morning by tho sudden appearance of what wiis supposed to boa maniac, who came rushing through tho streets to the terror of men, women and children. Only after a severe strug gle was he capturcd by the marshal and his assistants and lodged in jail, where he had to be changed to the floor. Ele is of medium height and of a del icate build. Yet he soaps trace chains as though they were made of twine. He is a most woe-begone specimen of the human family. His talk is more like the chatter of u monkey or a poll parrot than anything else. His entire body is covered with hair. For the past six months there have been tales told in regard to o ghost hav ing been seen in the timber in tho south and west of this city. One mun claims to have seen him astride a phantom horse, high up in tho air, and come to town spcechless and had to be escorted home. Then he was again seen by a full- blood Cherokee, who was scared out of his wits. This Indian is an intelligent man. Ho first saw (he man crawling on the ground snake fashion, and as he supposed, he was watching something, but on nearer approach the wild man sprang to his all lours and outran the Indian's horse. The most sensational tale yet told about the man comes from a source which can not be disputed. The gentleman lives in Arkansas and is a minuter of the gospel. He will make an affidavit that he saw him some time last August near Crump, a oountry store in Benton county sitting astride of a log, toying with two large snakes. One was an immense dia mond rattier and the other a large black- make. After goiig through several contortions of the body the wild man beheaded and devoured the rattler Then with a wave uf his right hand he mounted in midair and disappeared. The minister says he was so terrified that he could nut move for at least one hour. Who the wild man is and where. ho oame from no one knows. Tho proper authorities have been notified und will bo beie to day. Great numbers of people are coming in to sec him. He glares at them sometimes with a fiendish expres sion. At other times he grows restless and utten horrible screams and yells.— St. Louis Republic. I LOVE MY COUNTRY. Gen. Longstreet says that on one of the long night marohos in Virginia the only way he could get rest was to lie down on the ground while the column was passing and sleep for an hour or so. He woke up just as the stragglen were coming along tho roar and hoard an old Georgia cracker soliloquiza about the sit uation; “I love my country and I'll fight for it, and I’ll die for it, and I’ll go naked and barnfooted fur it, but when this war is over I’ll be curs ed if I ever loVe another country.” CONSUMPTION CUBED. An old physician, retired from prac- tico, having had placed in his hands by an East India miasionary the formula of a simple vegetable remedy for the speedy and permanent cijre of Consump tion, Bronchitis, Catarrh, Asthma and all throat and Lung Affections, also a positive and radic^ cure for Nervous De bility and all Nervous Complaints, after having tested its wonderful curative pow ers iu thousand of ca.ses, has felt it his , duty to make it known to his suffering Actuated by this motive and a desire to relieve human suffering, I will yend ftee of charge, to all who desire it, this radpc, in German, French t r Knglish, Mi directions for preparing and nMaj|.

FOSTER’S F0RECA8T- UREAT 8TORH8 PREDICTED FOR OCTO BER—THESE 8T0RH8 WILL INDIOATB WHAT THE COMINQ WINTER WILL BE. A remarkable peiiod of great storms will occur during the first half of October that will be surpassed only by those that will occur in March, 1892. There will bu three storm waves during this storm period, which will cross the continent from west to east along the usual storm center routes. The first of these storm waves will be moat severe in tho Missis sippi valley and tho last one on tho At lantic coast. The first of these storm waves will bo due to leave tho Pacific coast about September 30, cross the Rocky- Alleghany valley from October 1 to 3 and reach the Atlantic coast about the 4th. On the 2nd this storm wave will be crossing the Mississippi river not far from St. Louis, and will then be of very con siderable force in Illinois and Missouri. Accompanying this storm wave may be expectod tornadoes, cloud bursts, hail and severe gales and within one or two days following it killing frosts will visit most of the localities north of latitude 36, with a strong probability of frosts much further south. Hurricanes will develop great force on the north Atlantic at this time, but I cannot give their exact loca- cation, but they will probably be not far east of the West Indies. These hurri canes will become very fierce along the Atlantic coast from 1st to 18th of October. These storms will indioatewhat the coming winter will be. I expect very great storms from the 1st of October to the last of March and if this period of storms cover ing the first half of October proves to be of more than usual force it will indicate that I have not miscalculated the weather, and we may then confidently expect a very cold, severe and stormy winter, setting in quite early. Saturn will pass its equinox the last of October, and to that influence I attribute the great increase of storms since the middle of last May, W. 8. Foster. THE SOUTH’8 PROGRESS. ITS PttOSPFRITY IS SOLID AND ITS AD- VANOEMENT SURE. The Mimii/aclurer's Record of last week contains its quarterly review of the industrial progress of the South, show ing that notwithstanding the usual dull ness oi the summer and the late finan cial stringency, there has been a steady and solid advancement. The Record says: “The most trying period which the in dustrial growth of the South has ever encountered has been that covered by the last nine or ten months. It would have been natural for a rapidly develop ing section like the South, whose thou sands of new enterprises were being organized or were under construciion, to have felt the effect of financial troubles more seriously than any other sectior, but such has not been the case. Of course many enterprises just getting un der way when the panic came have been abandoned, but this has been mainly in the line of development and town com panies. The manufacturing enterprises in operation have gone along steadily. Banking and general business operations, though somewhat restricted in volume have stood the financial strain remarkably well. Despite the extreme depression in iron. Southern furnaces have generally been running to their full capacity and making some profit; cotton mills have been busy, and in nearly every line of manufacturing there has been a steady, substantial gain, even during the great monetary stringency. The way in which the i^'outh has stood the strain has sup- prised the financial world, and has mate rially strenghthened tho confidenue of the capitalists of the Nurth in the gicat future of (his section. During )he last nine months 2,473 new tnitnufacluring enterprises have been orgMuized. If you fosi weaHc and all ntotx>. out take BROWN'S IRON ,9XTT£RS WOMEN IN TROUSERS. WHAT ONE OF THE SINNERS HAS TO SAT ABOUT PROPOSED INNOVATIONS. Anglo-Su xon men and women of the tenth century were clothed similarly, and the Roman costume of which no one can bo a greater ndinirer than appreciative Charles Dudley Warner, is externally almost identical lor both sexes. Dr. Hammond prescribes trousen for all women who do manual labor except such as is strictly confined to the hands. He thinks sewing machines should never be worked by women in skirts, and he re serves gowns ibr tho drawing-room and the ball rocm, relegating saleswomen, physicians, surgeons and nurses in hospi tals to trousers, giving as one argument that “flowing draperty worn by the wo man physician and nurse is more apt to absorb contagion than the closely-fitting trousers of man, and hence rendera them carriers of disease from house to house, or from person lo person.” There are trousers and trousen. The trousers of Europe and America are neither Useful nor ornamental. They are an excrescence, and the sooner men re turn to tho breechcs of their forefathen the better. But the trousers of Turkish women are by no means unsightly, and a costume modeled on that of the harem or modern Greece, might combine utility with beauty. However, before making so great a revolution, why not adopt the fashion of the first empire ? Can there bo any attire more healthful and cbario- ing than that with which the lovely Empress Josephine has made us familiar? In this, as in the only perfect diees— that of ancient Greece—the waist line comes below the bosom, few skirts are needed, and hoops and bustles arc impos sible. If Amercan women wore not ab solutely snobbish in their allegiance to Paris dressmakers, if they thought for themsevea and dared to call their bodiw their own, they would uieet in council and make their own fashions. Until public schools and private seminaries turn out self-helpful, able bodied individuall, instead of rickety parrots stuffed with book learning, the reign of common sense will be postponed. Sister sinners, what arc you going to do about it?—Kate Field’s Washington. WORLD'S^FOOD SUPPLY. AN ESTIMATED DEFICIT OP 200,000,000 BUSHELS OF WHEAT AND RYE. An exhaustive study of the world’s food supply in the American Agricul- turistg emphasizes facts of grave import ance to both America and Europe. It declares that the half has not been told about the European shortage in bread- stuffs, which not even a bountiful crop, this year would have n>lieved. Contin ental powers, especially Rtissia, supprets the facts as far as I'ossiblc. In many Russian provinces the scarcity of food became apparent ns far back as Februaiy last. In the Konstantinovoka district many families have not cooked a meal since E8tcr, but subsist on bread, soak- ed rye, grain, &o., bestowed in chaiity. That eastern Germany is in practically the same plight admits of no doubt. Ac* cepting the largest estimates of produo- tion, both at home and abroad, and eve* assuming that the United Slates and Can ada can export 225,000,000 bushels, th« American Agriculturitt stiU finds a de ficit in the world’s food supply of at least 200,000,000 bushels of wheat and lye, with a possibility of the shortage being twice as great. Added to this ii) the al most total failure of the pUato crop ill Ireland, and n aurious curtailment in the yield of potatoes on the Continent.
