While the majority of our farmers are invest
ing largely in commercial fertilizers, very
respectable minority depending almost
solely upon home made manures TO stimulate
and produce their next crops More compost
is 10 10 seen piled out in the fields preparatory
10 its application than for n long time hereto
sore In fact tho effort being made by our
farmers demonstrates improved methods and
increased energy and judgment Every farm IS
htrcaked from center TO circumference with
terraces, hillside ditches and scientifically
arranged conyenienceS for the increase Of crops
and view TO economy. As whole, to the OBJ
server, nothing heretofore equals the prospect
OF successful operations when the visible signs
OF practicable management is taken into con
eideration. The majority OF our farmers arc
Alliance men, which order seemed to answer
the purpose intended, that is to interest
and unite them more than all the Organiza-
tons previously introduced The great neccs-
sity of organization and cooperation among
farmers is felt by all, but so often failure has
attended all efforts i'll that direction had al
most destroyed all hope of success until by the
Farmers Alliance, upon its simple declara-
tion OF principles, embodying no policy but
such MS IL harmonious, refusing admittancc of
every element conflicting Herewith. is PROV
ing 10 be at last an organization suited to the
purpose desired. Thousands OF dollars have
already been saved to the farmers, and in so
short time, MS tho order is yet only i'll its in
fancy. Nothing but encouragement has as
yet been experienced, which is causing much
enthusiasm among .he members, while active
preparations are being made for still greater
benefits
The day is not far distant when every
farmer under good character is expected to be
numbered among the alliance
d. keAtx@S rGarkg 10th inst, there is ex-
secctaE Ca asfe crowd Of representative
Farmers OF the AllfHhce TO meet in uogansyille
for the purposo of forming among themselves
cooperative association with headquarters
at liogansville. It's purposes will be to raise
sum sufficient TO open mercantile storeage
and manufacturing business, the success of
which will prove OF greatest importance to our
farmers. Through their general agent all sup
plies will be obtained at first cost with only
freight added. Handle and dispose of their
own cotton in lots of from one to five hundred
bales, and ginning their own cotton, manu-
featuring cotton seed oil, and from the meal
make their own guano, and grind their own
corn and wheat. We have now two extensive
glnnercs and one oil mill, but in - few months
doubt not that the third ginnery and second
oil mill Will he erected and operated in Hog
ansvillo, The arrangements for the formation
OF the corporation is being substantially made
and viii be supported by one of the best farm
ing sections IN western Georgia. Let the good
work go on.
A sensation was occasioned at Snmmeryille
by the report that mob was
organized 10 lynch Henry Pope,
the rapst who is upon trial for the out
rage committed upon the person of Miss Ken
drlck, last year II was reported that n large
BODY oi armed men were coming i'll from var-
Gus parts OF the county and would make tho
attack during the night. Judge Maddox made
speedy preparation to give them warm rccop-
sion throwing strong guard around the jail,
md giving notice HAT every one who should be
found 10 bo engaged in the plot should be in
dictcd. Tho night WAS looked forward to with
some degree of torebodiug but nothing trans
pired TO disturb the citizens.
The prisoner, Pope, learned Of the threat
encd attack, and II is said by some of the guard
whose SAUNDERS We're interrupted 10y his suppl-
cations, that lac prayed with a ivrycnCy and
eloqucnce that would have been worthy of a
victim of the iuguisit;on.
The evidence OF Miss Kendylck, the victim
Of the outrage, was positive and unequivocal
that Pope was her aSSailant. Her testimony
was corrohoratcd by that of
other testimony and circumstances,
showing Pope in the peghborhood Of
Miss Hendricks house about the timo the
crime WAS committed Tho defendant intro
ducod evidence Of witnesses from Alabama for
the purpose of showing am ulibi. The crime
was committed February Sd, 1887 The Ala
hama witnesses showed that Popo was in
Cherokee county, Alabama. from about Jan
uary 25th mp TO the middle ot March. which
u true, would render 1t almost impossible for
him 70 have been IN this county February "a.
Upon the contrary the state introduced evil
