The organization of several farmers clubs
in Maine during the past few weeks is evil
derce that the grange, good as it is does not
m, ct all the requirements among farmers,
for farmers organization. Some good
farmers no doubt object to it because it is a
secret society, aud 9th, RS from other cause.
But while the grange Is = noble order and
ITS secret work may prevent some from join
ing il, there ia no antag nism between its
members and any other farmers society
The farmers club is a good organization and
II were well if one existed in every school
district throughout the State, whether there
VAS grange in town or not. There is
abundant work for both and the one can aid
snd supplement the work of the other
Both are to be encouraged farmers can
never be too well organized or too solidly
coWpacted together in their own rights and
interests, Organize the oranges; organize
the farmers clubs

They are Reading 1t.

A week or so ago the Prescott Dispatch said that many of our Ne vada county friends were reading our paper with much interest and we believe the Dispatch was right about it, for within the past three weeks we have received forty one new sub scribers from that county.
 This is indeed encouraging, and more particular so, when we look ov- CT the lists and see that three fourths of them are our .old greenback friends and patrons of the Dispatch when we had charge of it. Those new lists of subscribers are most gratifying, when we consider the efforts made by the Dispatch re- gently, to misrepresent us upon most every question-when we re- fleet that its editor has so frequent ly made statements as to our posi-
 
 ton upon leading questions, which he we'll knew at the time it was un- true.
 But his course of misrepresenta- tions was checkmetted-we remem bered the names of our old friends and frequently sent them copies of the Independent, and the result is that almost every mail bring us new subscribers. or rather renewals of old subscribers. from that sounty.
 It will take more than the below ing of lunatic to make the people of Nevada county, the honest yeo- marry up there, believe that we are not their friend, the friend of the la boring classes and the uncompromi- sing foe of monopolies. They en- dorsed our course in refusing to sup port for office every ignoramus the Dispatch attempts to force upon the people.
 Like the Independent, the people of Nevada county want honest. com petent and sober men for office Texarkana Independent.

 Judge Gary was hearing a case that called for a jury trial, and after the usual wrangling that always tries his patience the jury was selected and sworn. The judge settled back in his chair, thinking that the case was fairly started, when up jumped a little German who was sitting in one end of the jury box. "Shudge '" he exclaimed. Well, what is it: asked the judge, shortly. "Shudge, l tink I like to go home. You cant go; sit down." "Shudge, l don't t'ink l make a good shuror. |" "You're the best in the panel.

Rogers g. Co.'S Warehouse Burned
During the Hight of the Storm.
CEDAR KEYS, FLA, Sept. S.-This town
was visited by a severe and destructive cy-
clone this afternoon. The wind had been
blowing a gale from the northeast for
about twenty-four hours, and about $3.50
o'clock this afternoon reached a velocity of
between seventy and eighty miles per honr
At this time the large warehouse of c. b.
| Rogers & Co. was blown down and caught
fire. The entire building was in
famas il an instant and the fire
rapidly spread to the adjoining Warehouse,
which was also consumed. Fortunately at
the time when the surrounding buildings
were in the greatest danger, the wind
veered to the south, which undoubtedly
saved the town. The citizens worked with
much zeal, but they only succeeded in saw
ing the store of Rogers a. Co. The United
States signal office was Quilted
by the lire, although the greater
portion of the instruments were saved.
The United States cutter Crawford was
damaged slightly by coming in contact with
the wharf The loss OF Rogers g. Co. is be-
tween 5000 and $4,000. They are well
insured
The wind late tonight is still blowing a

BISHOP GAINES DAUGHTER.
Her Suit Againet the Georgia Road
Fails to Bring Her ANY Money.

rails TO brluk hcr ANY MONEY.
ATLANTA. GA, Sept. S-Several months
ago Rhoda Gaines, niece of Bishop w. j.
Gaines, of the African Methodist church,
boarded Georgia railroad train for Madi-
son, en- route for Monticello. The brakes
man came through the train and discovered
that the negress was riding in the coach
assigned for the whites, ana he orde red her
into the car for colored people.
She refused to comply with his order and
kept her seat. AT Lithonia the brakesmen
came through again and ordered her into
the colored coach, but she still refused to
obey him. The conductor also told her to
change her seat, but she persistently re-
fused, and was informed that committee
of citizens would attend to her at Conyers.
ELECTED FROM THE CAR.
On the arrival of the train at that place
a dozen white citizens, who no doubt had
been telegraphed to about the case, entered
the coach and removed her, treating her, as
she alleges, very cruelty. She waited in
Conyers until train for Atlanta came by
and returned home. Bishop Gaines flied a
complaint before the railroad commission
which was argued about two weeks ago. 1t
was alleged That the coaches for the colored
people were not up to the requirements
made by the law as they were not as well
kept as those set apart for the wnltes.
The commission to-day decided the case.
They decided that the complaints against
the road are not well founded, and that the
apartments were equal in their furnishings
They also decided that after investigating
ths case, they find that the road employees
were not connected with the ejectment,
aud therefore could not DO held responsible.
